00:04Our names were whispered through time, from generation to generation.
00:16I was an Egyptian slave, but she changed all that.
00:32The woman who bowed to no one.
00:37I was in search of freedom.
00:39She was in search of faith.
00:42Our lives were to become one.
00:48The story started long ago, in a marketplace in Haran.
01:07Blue, there's the sea itself.
01:11I've never even seen the sea.
01:12Uh-huh.
01:17How much is it?
01:19For you, ten shekels.
01:24Perhaps another day.
01:26A city?
01:28You think so?
01:30Very much there.
01:31Sarai!
01:32Sarai!
01:32I've been looking for you everywhere!
01:34What's wrong, mother?
01:35I'll be in the Garibite.
01:36He's making you father on Ophar.
01:40A dozen prime ewes for your daughter's hand.
01:43What say you?
01:44It's an acceptable bride price, I suppose.
01:47What say you, Sarai?
01:49Do you consent?
01:50What need have you for a wife, Abim?
01:53Don't you already have one?
01:54What other?
01:55She gave me three sons.
01:57I want more.
01:58I ask again.
02:00Do you consent?
02:03To marrying a man I hardly know.
02:06Much less admire.
02:08I think not.
02:10Sarai.
02:14It seems that your daughter has what some would call a spirited nature.
02:18She's long been that way.
02:20Apologize, Sarai.
02:21No.
02:21Bout to your betrothed and accept his forgiveness.
02:29I bow to no man.
02:33Well, now that I've had a look at you up close, you're not worth a dozen prime ewes to begin
02:39with.
02:40Hey!
02:41You heard the lady.
02:42Move on.
02:42This has nothing to do with you, boy.
02:45Shame.
02:47You have more beauty than sense.
02:54Look what you've gone and done.
02:56No man will marry you now.
03:09Are you all right?
03:12Are you?
03:21Listen, Sarai, I haven't.
03:25It doesn't sheave to my name or anything even close, but I'd be proud to be your husband.
03:34Abra.
03:34Not someone to bow to, but to stand shoulder to shoulder with, no matter what life might bring.
03:42Finally, I thought you might not ever ask.
03:47Will you have me, Sarai?
03:53I'll stand with you, Abram, and be your wife.
03:59Until the day I die.
04:01May it bring children.
04:04Many, many children.
04:16Abram.
04:24You remembered.
04:26Of course.
04:27A picnic.
04:32Twenty-five years.
04:34I remember, too.
04:36I just finished.
04:39Ah.
04:41Ah.
04:42It's beautiful.
04:43I love it.
04:45Your favorite color.
04:53It's all right.
04:55Did you ever think about taking another wife?
04:58Well, that's quite the question to ask your husband on our anniversary day.
05:01Most men in your position would have.
05:03Most men are not married to a woman like you.
05:07You are my wife.
05:10And no other.
05:12I failed you.
05:14No.
05:15Your bloodline ends with me.
05:18When we die, your name dies with us.
05:20Stop this.
05:22Tell me the truth.
05:24My husband.
05:26Here and now.
05:30Would you still have married me?
05:32If you'd known I couldn't give you children.
05:35Shoulder to shoulder, no matter what life might bring.
05:39Do you remember when I said that?
05:43Like it was yesterday.
05:50You are my husband.
05:52I want you.
05:52I want you.
06:07I want you.
06:17Did you hear that?
06:21It's just the wind.
06:23Can we go back to sleep?
07:01Good morning, Leila.
07:02I'm sorry, did they wake you up?
07:04I'm tired.
07:05Is it his cough?
07:07If you put some mint and some honey in your tea,
07:09you should do the trick.
07:11Oh, wait a...
07:14Great.
07:15How did you get so big?
07:19Abram?
07:22Abram?
07:26Abram?
07:27He spoke to me.
07:30What?
07:31He spoke to me.
07:34Who?
07:35God.
07:37God?
07:38What God?
07:40God.
07:44What does he look like?
07:46Does he have a name?
07:47He did not say.
07:49I didn't see him.
07:51So, it was just a voice, then?
07:54A voice.
07:57Essence.
07:59Describe.
08:01Go forth, he said.
08:03From your native land and to the land that I will show you.
08:09And you want to do this because of a dream?
08:14It wasn't a dream.
08:15No.
08:16I am as certain of that as my love for you.
08:19He said he would make a great nation of me.
08:22Children, Sarai.
08:24He's going to give us children.
08:25Those were his words.
08:28Those were his words to you, Abram.
08:30Yes.
08:31And I have to go.
08:34I must follow where God leads me.
08:36But I can't do this without you.
08:40Please, my love.
08:44You must trust me.
08:48Please, trust me.
08:53I trust you.
08:59If you need me to do this,
09:03I will go with you.
09:12Eliezer, fill these as well.
09:15We must bring as much water as we can carry.
09:18I'll make sure there's enough for all the silence.
09:22Sarai,
09:24I worry for your safety, my daughter.
09:27Take these.
09:28Household idols to protect you on your travels.
09:32Abram will protect me.
09:40Do we meet again, Father?
09:45I fear that's not to be.
09:48Not in this light.
09:50No.
10:06No.
10:07No.
10:07No.
10:08No.
10:10No.
10:13No.
10:38We have to find water.
10:42Grass to pasture our flock.
10:44Where?
10:45There's drought across the entire Levant.
10:47Then we head south to Egypt.
10:50No matter the drought, the Nile still flows.
11:13Nile.
11:18You're the little ones.
11:36You're starving, Adam.
11:37Did your God not warn you of all this suffering?
11:41We have water now.
11:43Food will come.
11:43Well, it best come soon.
11:45People are hungry, they need bread.
11:48If we offer enough, there must be somewhere to buy grain.
11:54I'll go at once.
11:58But we'll need to make it last.
11:59Get free.
12:04No water.
12:11The water.
12:12Go outside.
12:15I'm close.
12:19The water.
12:23The water.
12:24The water.
12:25The water.
12:26The water.
12:52So many of them.
12:57This one.
13:00Why is she not bowed?
13:03She needs to be made an example of.
13:06Mr. Sarai, on your knees, before the living guard.
13:20She's locked!
13:24Wait, wait!
13:25No!
13:25Wait!
13:26Please!
13:27Let her go!
13:27Let her go!!!
13:29No, let her go!
13:36Jarai?
13:37Jaroi?
13:37No!
13:38No!
13:39No!
13:40No!
13:42No!
13:54No!
14:12No!
14:13What is your name?
14:15Sarai.
14:16Tell me, Sarai.
14:19Are you of royal blood?
14:22No, Pharaoh.
14:24Are you a goddess?
14:27No, Pharaoh.
14:28Yet you refuse to bow in my presence.
14:33I decided long ago I would bow to no man.
14:36And you say it was not person?
14:38I meant no offence.
14:40What about a god?
14:41Would you deign to bow before?
14:44If I encountered one?
14:52It is alright.
14:56She is new to Egypt.
15:02She does not know.
15:10What if you meet a god and you do not recognise him?
15:16He would recognise me.
15:19Know what's in my heart?
15:22My every thought?
15:24That I meant no offence?
15:28Yes.
15:32Since none was meant, the nun is taken.
15:40I shall not kill her.
15:42Pharaoh will keep her.
15:52It's a great honour to have Pharaoh take you as a wife.
15:56A wife?
15:57Was that your husband who tried to stop you from being taken away?
16:02No.
16:04No, it was my brother.
16:06Good.
16:07And it's messy that way.
16:09I'll see to her he's paid a handsome price.
16:12Hagar.
16:14Cleaner and dresser for Pharaoh tonight.
16:17Consider this slave girl the betrothal gift.
16:21It's Pharaoh's desire that his wives be happy here.
16:29You were right to lie about your husband.
16:33The Pharaoh would have had him killed.
16:37Come with me, please.
16:48You love your husband very much.
16:51He's my world.
16:54I do know what it means to give someone up so that they might live.
17:01I wasn't born a slave, you know.
17:04My people were reed farmers in shore.
17:10We worshipped the wrong god.
17:13So Pharaoh had our village raised and our field salted.
17:18The family were starving.
17:21I sold myself with three pieces of silver to a passing slave trader.
17:26So they could live?
17:29I'll see them again.
17:31Someday.
17:33Why did you leave home?
17:35You and your husband.
17:37My husband's god promised us children.
17:41Why would his god promise you such a thing only to cause you to end up here?
17:45Makes no sense.
17:50Maybe it was his way of telling him to find another wife.
17:54When he could give him a child that I can't.
18:03He'll tire of you soon enough.
18:05The Pharaoh.
18:07He'll move on to his next new toy.
18:20There's no way out of here.
18:22If there was, I would have found it.
18:59Come closer.
19:06You almost look Egyptian.
19:09Almost.
19:15But not so much.
19:19Underneath this paint and dress, I can still see your disdain.
19:31You are far away from home.
19:36How is it that you came to Egypt?
19:41My brother's god ordered us to leave Haran.
19:46Which god?
19:48Maybe I know it.
19:52Look around you.
19:56These are my ancestors.
20:00They go back centuries.
20:03Who knows?
20:05Maybe one day it will be your countenance that adores these sacred walls.
20:12Take it away.
20:14Take it away.
20:19Pharaoh commands you.
20:29You have fire in you.
20:32I like that.
20:35Now take it off.
20:53What is this?
20:55Did you poison me?
20:57You witch!
20:58What magic is this?
20:59What have you done to me?
21:00It's not fair.
21:00It's not fair.
21:07Guards!
21:09Guards!
21:15Guards!
21:15Guards!
21:16Let her go!
21:17She's a witch!
21:20Leave!
21:22Leave and never come back.
21:24Take your slave girl and see that you both have a return on a bane of death.
21:29Hang on.
21:30Hang on.
21:31Come with me.
21:54Oh my beloved.
21:56You're alive.
22:03Did they hurt you?
22:05Are you...
22:05Are you harmed?
22:07No.
22:09No.
22:11Was it God?
22:12Did God save you?
22:14I can't explain it.
22:22Who is this?
22:25There you go.
22:26There you go.
22:26She's coming with us.
22:40There you go.
22:51She's coming with us.
22:54There you go.
22:55I had witnessed a power that could make a pharaoh cower in pain.
23:00I could have run away.
23:02But I chose to follow her into the unknown.
23:07Wherever it would lead.
23:18The place to start family.
23:30You need to start saving your first morning blood.
23:32Well, saving it for what?
23:35To soak these in.
23:37If it's a boy, the barley will sprout, and if it's a girl, the wheat.
23:40Oh, Hagar.
23:42Abram's god did not bring you out of Egypt to not give you a child.
23:45But you have to do your part.
23:47And so does he.
23:51We've been married 30 years.
23:54Luckily, I found these down at the bog this morning.
23:56What are they?
23:58Mandrakes.
23:59You roast them and then slip them in his tea.
24:02It'll be like your wedding night all over again.
24:07Thank you, Hagar.
24:40Well, next time.
24:43Oh, thank you.
25:19I always have it.
25:21Yes, and I make it.
25:22Also, my eyes, right?
25:26.
25:28.
25:29.
25:29.
25:29.
25:30.
25:33.
25:33.
25:36.
25:36.
25:37.
25:37.
25:38.
25:40.
25:42.
25:43.
25:43.
25:43.
25:44.
25:44.
25:44.
25:45.
25:46.
25:46.
25:46.
25:46.
25:46.
25:46.
25:47.
25:47.
25:48.
25:48.
25:49.
25:49.
25:50.
25:50.
25:50.
25:51.
25:51.
25:51.
25:52.
25:52.
25:52.
25:52.
25:52.
25:53.
25:54.
25:55.
26:00.
26:01.
26:01.
26:02.
26:05.
26:07.
26:07.
26:07.
26:07.
26:07.
26:07.
26:07.
26:11.
26:14.
26:16.
26:16.
26:17.
26:17.
26:17.
26:29Hey! We did what you asked! And nothing! My room stays closed!
26:36What sort of a god are you? Your promises mean nothing!
26:44Say something! Say something! Say something! Say something to me!
26:55Say something!
27:07And that's when he saw a dove turning to the ark with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her mouth.
27:14And that's when no one knew the flood waters were subsiding at last.
27:20Perhaps tomorrow I'll tell you a story of how God saved a certain someone we might know from.
27:25The Pharaoh himself.
27:28I think it's time for bed.
27:43That's been really fair, eh? As if it were one of the sagas.
27:47Who knows? It might be one day.
27:49Pardon the interruption. Peter and I have something to ask.
27:54Celila and I hope to marry. And with your blessing, start a family.
27:59Yes, of course. Give you my blessing with joy.
28:03And may God grant you many, many children.
28:17Remember when that was us?
28:19I remember.
28:20Oh, Abram.
28:22Maybe it's time.
28:25Time for us to accept that it's never going to happen.
28:28And for us to name an heir.
28:33God promised us a child.
28:35I am past the ways of women now.
28:38Can we please stop pretending otherwise?
28:44I was thinking Eliezer.
28:46He's good and born of our household.
28:51He's loyal.
28:56We'll talk about it in the morning.
29:04Forget about it.
29:06Rob?
29:20Look.
29:27See every morning.
29:28Oh my Gemma.
29:39Abram?
29:44What happened here?
29:46We made a covenant, he and I.
29:48A covenant?
29:50Sealed in blood.
29:52He spoke to me, Sarai.
29:54After so many years of silence, he spoke to me again.
29:59What did he say?
30:01That I would have descendants like stars in the sky.
30:06Not of Eliezer, but of my own flesh.
30:09He promised me a son.
30:12A son of your own flesh?
30:14That's what he said, yes.
30:16And of mine also?
30:19Did he say that, Abram?
30:22Why would he need to?
30:24Who else would it be?
30:26You are my wife.
30:28And no other.
30:33A son of his own flesh.
30:36That's what God told him.
30:38His, not mine.
30:41Kind of a cruel God.
30:43Tries to make me think that a woman my age could have a child.
30:48What if you can't?
30:50You're blessed.
30:52You have a loving husband.
30:54A community.
30:54I see.
30:55I know.
30:58Do you want to be a mother one day?
31:00Of course.
31:02How could that happen?
31:04I'm an Egyptian slave.
31:06Who would marry me?
31:10Hagar.
31:13What if meeting in Pharaoh's palace wasn't an accident?
31:17What if we were brought together for a purpose?
31:22I think there is a child.
31:24It's not of my womb.
31:27But the son that Abram sees is his and maybe yours.
31:38You want me to lie with Abram?
31:42I want you to have a child on my behalf.
31:44And in return, I will help you get back home to your family.
31:48The Pharaoh who banished us from Egypt no longer rules.
31:51Oh.
31:53With my family again.
31:54It's what you've always wanted.
31:55It's what I've always wanted.
31:58And you can marry.
32:00You can have children of your own.
32:10Yes.
32:13Yes, I'll do this thing you ask.
32:16You have given me so much.
32:18I will help.
32:20Give you the child that you've been promised.
32:31It's all here.
32:33You bear the child on my knee, and then by law, he's mine.
32:36And after that?
32:38Home.
32:40Once we make our mark, there's no turning back.
33:01Every month on the quarter moon.
33:03Since I was a girl.
33:04Well, then, tonight it is.
33:07Shall I?
33:14So pretty.
33:20Come.
33:23Oh.
33:29Ooh.
33:30Good wine.
33:31It's from Kith.
33:33Expensive wine.
33:37Well.
33:40It's a special night.
33:42Hmm?
33:43How so?
33:45Can you tell me to show your bloodline?
33:50Lie with Hagar, Abram, so that we might have a child by her.
33:55That's right.
33:57Abram, God told you that we would have a family.
34:02Yes.
34:04You and I.
34:05We will have a family.
34:07But only by Hagar.
34:12Abram, please.
34:14Please.
34:15Please.
34:16Please.
34:16Please.
34:27I have loved only one my whole life.
34:40Hagar?
35:05Stay anyway.
35:07I have loved only one my whole life.
35:14You and I.
35:20I have loved only one my whole life.
35:22I have loved only one my whole life.
35:24And I was really glad that I've had a family.
35:28I have loved only one day.
35:34I have loved only one my whole life.
35:55Oh, I was just getting these ready for you.
35:58Sorry, I was going to do it myself.
36:00Well, the sooner we know, the sooner I can go home.
36:26You were asleep when I came in.
36:28Yes, it was late, it was tired.
36:33I only did what you asked.
36:34You could have protested a little more.
36:40If you've had a change of heart...
36:43No.
36:45No.
36:48Please lie with her until she is with a child.
36:53But remember, husband, she is a woman with a woman's heart.
37:28You are very beautiful.
37:31I don't know why I haven't noticed that until now.
