00:10I failed you, Abram.
00:12No.
00:12Your bloodline ends with me.
00:14Previously, on The Faithful.
00:16God spoke to me.
00:18Go forth, he said.
00:19To a land that I will show you.
00:22He's going to give us children, Sarai.
00:25Abram's God did not bring you out of Iran to not give you a child.
00:28We did what you asked, and nothing.
00:32Hey, girl, I want you to have Abram's child on my behalf.
00:35The boy.
00:37The son.
00:45What shall we name him?
00:48Something from the sagas, maybe.
00:51Enoch?
00:54There's plenty of time to decide.
00:59I missed having you in our bed, husband.
01:03I missed you too, my beloved.
01:17What's it?
01:17I felt him.
01:20Are you all right?
01:22Yeah.
01:26I felt him chicken.
01:39I tied on the small side for how far along she is, but nothing to worry about.
01:44Small?
01:44That's what I said to Abram.
01:46Is she not eating enough?
01:47Seems fine to me.
01:48But could it be what she's eating?
01:50She puts a lot of Egyptian spices in everything.
01:53And she keeps trying to feed me gall pestle to make the baby's eyes light like hers.
01:57No, that's not why.
01:58It's because I want his bones to be strong.
02:00How small is a tad small?
02:01She just said not to worry about it, so why don't we not?
02:06It's easy for her to say.
02:07She's leaving for Egypt as soon as the baby's born.
02:12Okay.
02:17What do you think of the name Jared?
02:22And coming in?
02:25Yeah.
02:26I like Benjamin and Caleb and Ephraim.
03:03And my mother used to sing me that when I was a little girl.
03:09Always used to make me feel safe.
03:17Could I not do the same for you?
03:30Sarai, I need to speak with you.
03:38I want to keep the baby.
03:43We have an agreement.
03:46You can't just change your mind, I know.
03:48And I'm sorry. I know what I made my mark to.
03:51I just didn't know I was going to feel this way when I made it.
03:53What about going home to your family?
03:57I want to, of course I do.
03:58But not if it means leaving my baby behind.
04:03It's not your baby.
04:08I should have known you wouldn't understand.
04:10Don't!
04:11Don't you dare make me feel less than you because I can't bear this child myself.
04:16What is happening? What's the matter?
04:17You are going back to Egypt.
04:18If you knew what this felt like, then you'd understand.
04:20But you can't and you never will.
04:22Do you see how she disrespects me?
04:24Do you see how she looks on me with contempt?
04:25You can't just take this baby and pretend that I had nothing to do with it.
04:29I knew I shouldn't have gone along with this.
04:31I should have had more faith.
04:32Oh, you want to make this about faith?
04:34Fine.
04:35May your God decide between us then.
04:48Your maid is within your power.
04:51Do with her and you see fit.
05:00You are never to bring this matter up again.
05:03When the time is right, you will bear my son on my knee.
05:08And then you will go home to your family as we agreed.
05:13Am I clear?
05:16Yes.
05:34Everything I'd ever known had changed since this child in my womb.
05:41My freedom was no longer the most important thing.
05:48This child was.
06:01I broke her pledge.
06:03I broke her heart.
06:13I broke her up again.
06:26Yet Baba!
06:29Oh, my God.
07:20Oh, my God.
07:27She could be anywhere.
07:30I know you blame me.
07:32There's no way you could have known she'd do something like this.
07:35For asking you to lie with her in the first place.
07:38Should have had more faith.
07:43I wanted to give you a son.
07:44I know.
07:48Well, now he's gone.
07:50I know.
07:51Oh, my God.
07:58I know.
08:09I know.
08:11I know.
08:13I know.
08:13I'm my son. Egypt.
08:37Hagar.
08:37Hagar.
08:42Made of Sarai.
08:45Who are you?
08:47How do you know my name?
08:49Where have you come from, and where are you going?
08:57I'm running away from my mistress, Sarai.
09:01The Lord had taken heed of your affliction.
09:09Have I really just seen God, and remained alive after seeing him?
09:14You have conceived and will bear a son.
09:19You shall call his name Ishmael.
09:22I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted.
09:27Yeah.
09:31What must I do for these things to come to pass?
09:35You know what you must do.
09:37I will...
09:48Sarai.
09:50Sarai.
09:58My God.
09:59Hang on.
10:12You're safe.
10:15Yes.
10:16Are you well?
10:16Yes.
10:17And the baby, he's fine.
10:20We were fine.
10:25You came back?
10:27I was almost at the border near shore
10:30when he appeared to me.
10:33Who appeared to you?
10:39An angel of God.
10:42He knew my name.
10:44What did he say to you?
10:46Many things.
10:48Many wondrous things about the child in my womb,
10:51but he said they would only come to pass if I returned.
10:56And he told me to come back,
10:59return your son,
11:01and submit myself to you.
11:04So here I am.
11:24I'm sorry.
11:25I'm sorry.
11:26Oh no.
11:27Oh.
11:28Oh.
11:29Oh.
11:29Oh.
11:29Oh.
11:31He's coming.
11:31Someone get the midwife.
11:33I'm scared.
11:34I'm scared.
11:35It's all right.
11:36I'm here.
11:37Breathe.
11:39All right.
11:41Breathe.
11:42All right.
11:43All right.
11:48Harder.
11:49Breathe.
11:50All right.
11:51Breathe.
11:52Breathe.
11:53And...
11:57You're almost there.
11:59You're almost there.
12:00Again.
12:01One more.
12:01One more.
12:02Come on.
12:03You can do this.
12:04You can do this.
12:10You did it.
12:13You did it.
12:15You did it.
12:16You did it.
12:17You did it.
12:18You did it.
12:20Slow.
12:25No.
12:32He's perfect.
12:34He is...
12:40Your son.
12:52How could I ever repay you?
12:56Let me stay.
12:59Let me be a part of his life.
13:03What about your home?
13:07He is my own home.
13:17Abram.
13:25So you're there too, Father?
13:31Ishmael.
13:33My son.
13:37I love you.
13:44High up in the tower, clouds swirling all around, and one worker says to the other,
13:50Give me my hammer, won't you?
13:52But what the other worker heard was,
13:57He's such a lucky boy to have a father like Abram.
14:00Because God, you see, had confused their language to keep Nimrod from building his tower any higher.
14:08And it sits unfinished in Babel to this very day.
14:12Tell me another one, Baba.
14:14Tomorrow, my son.
14:16Time for sleep.
14:17All right.
14:18No, no, you stay.
14:19Enjoy the fire.
14:20I'll take him.
14:21Come on.
14:22Go on, my love.
14:26Come on.
14:33Bedtime, Ishmael.
14:34Hey, Gar.
14:35I wish you had a boy of your own so I could play with him.
14:39Well, that wasn't meant to be.
14:41Why?
14:43Why?
14:45Only God can answer that.
14:48But I have you to take care of, and that's enough for me.
14:53Come on.
14:56Time to go to sleep.
15:17Time to go to sleep.
15:29Time to go to sleep.
15:32Who are those men with father?
15:35I'm not sure they arrived on horseback an hour ago.
15:38I'll see someone important to see how does prepare a choice calf.
15:45Hey, Ishmael.
15:46Off with you.
15:47Go back to your studies.
15:48Do I have to?

28:32Adam and Eve's two sons Cain and Abel
28:36Cain was very jealous of his brother
28:39one day he took him out into the fields
28:41alone
28:43Cain held up a stone
28:45and slayed his brother
28:49Abel's blood cried
28:50up from the ground
28:52to our God

29:16he didn't mean the words he said
29:19he's in pain
29:20can't you tell
29:22he thinks Isaac was chosen over him
29:23because of something he's done wrong
29:25he deserves to know the truth
29:28that he is as much Abraham's son as Isaac is
29:31but not yours
29:33and for some reason only God himself knows
29:36somebody needs to tell him
29:37tell him
29:38if I tell him
29:39he'll hate me for having deceived him his entire life
29:43Ishmael will never submit to Isaac

29:47the more Ishmael will hate him
29:51like Cain hated Abel
30:06you
30:06you
30:06you
30:06you
30:06you
30:22you
30:22you
30:22Know what this is?
30:25The pledge between you and Hagar.
30:28Where did you get that?
30:30Found it in father's scent.
30:34Is it true that you're not my mother?
30:41In my heart, I am.
30:44I'm not your son.
30:47It all makes sense now.
30:49You did this.
30:51No!
30:52No!
30:53I have always done what you have told me to do.
30:55Liar!
30:55You are a liar.
30:57You lied to me my whole life.
31:06Cast her out.
31:11Cast them both out.
31:13We have to protect Isaac.
31:15No matter the cost.
31:17So you protect only one of your sons?
31:19Ishmael will never submit to his brother.
31:21You know that in your heart.
31:23Abraham.
31:24Send them away before it is too late, Abraham.
31:27Abraham, please!
31:27Enough!
31:34Enough!
31:41You can keep them.
31:43I want nothing of this place.
31:45I am sorry, my son.
31:50It's not you I blame, father.
32:02God is with you, Hagar.
32:06God is with you.
32:12Ishmael, please don't leave!
32:15Please!
32:16Come back!
32:19Go back!
32:20Please!
32:21Don't leave!
32:23Isaac!
32:24I have to go!
32:26Go home!
32:28Don't leave!
32:31It's not me!
32:33It's not me!
32:33It's not me!
32:33It's not me!
32:36Please don't leave!
32:38Hagar!
32:39Hagar!
32:49Hagar!
32:51No.
32:52You take the rest.
32:54What happens to me is not important.
32:56You are all that matters.
32:58But rather...
33:03Do you know how long I've earned?
33:07Do you?
33:07You call me now.
33:10We must keep going.
33:14I can't.
33:15Oh, yeah.
33:16We can't.
33:17I just need to rest.
33:19We rest, we die.
33:28I fell.
33:32No.
33:37Fear not, Hagar.
33:43For God is with you and the boy.
33:49My son, he needs water.
33:53Rise and hold him fast,
33:55so that I might make a great nation of him.
34:08Oh, God.
34:19No!
34:28The
34:43I finally made it to the ocean.
34:50My love, will you bring my box from over there?
35:10I have to tell you the truth, open it, oh, a pledge, there you go, you kept it, it was
35:29I who left it in your tent.
35:32I wanted Israel to find it.
35:36You?
35:39It was you who left it then, not Hagar.
35:47I knew he would never leave, he loved you too much.
35:54So I gave him someone to hate, me.
35:59You know how much I loved that boy.
36:02If he had stayed, he would have lived his whole life in the shadow of his brother.
36:12I had to let him go, so he could find his destiny, then we found ours.
36:20You have held onto this secret all these years.
36:24I had to.
36:27I couldn't have done what you did.
36:33But then again, you were always the stronger one.
36:39Oh, my love, I go to God soon.
36:47You would embrace me without malice, Sissy, will you?
36:54I'll wait for you then.
37:24I'll wait for you then.
37:25This journey was the hardest of all.
37:28She had to make the decisions that affected all of our lives.
37:33She kept the secrets and carried the burden.
37:38That was no easy task.
37:42She found her trust and faith and peace.
37:47She came to symbolize motherhood.
37:50She was the first of the great matriarchs.
37:54She was my friend.
37:56She was my friend.
38:09We're here to bury our dead.
38:13Who stands in our way?
38:14Hagar.
38:15She was...
