TVTranscript
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.
00:40She was in search of faith.
00:43Our 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.
01:13Uh-huh.
01:17How much is it?
01:19For you, ten shekels.
01:24Perhaps another day.
01:26This is you?
01:28You think so?
01:30Not very 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 Garibide.
01:36He's making you father on Uphar.
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.
01:58Well, I 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.
02:21Bounty of betrothed.
02:22And 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.
02:58No man will marry you now.
03:09Are you all right?
03:13Are you?
03:22Listen, Sarai, I haven't a dozen sheep to my name or anything even close, but I'd be proud to be
03:31your husband.
03:34Abram.
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, many, many children.
04:17Abram.
04:24You remembered.
04:26Of course.
04:27A picnic.
04:3325 years.
04:34I remember, too.
04:37I just finished.
04:39Ah.
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?
04:57Well, 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.
05:08You 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, my husband.
05:26Here and now.
05:30Would you still have married me if you'd known I couldn't give you children?
05:35Shoulder to shoulder, no matter what life might bring.
05:39Remember when I said that?
05:43Like it was yesterday.
05:50Like it was yesterday.
05:52Beep.
05:58Beep.
06:17Did you hear that?
06:21It's just the wind.
06:23Can we go back to sleep?
06:43Can we go back to sleep?
06:48Can we go back to sleep?
06:59It's just the wind.
07:02I'm sorry, did he wake you up?
07:04Oh, it's all right.
07:05Is it his cough?
07:07If you put some mint and some honey on your tea,
07:09it should do the trick.
07:11Oh, wait a...
07:13Oh, no, bitch.
07:15How did you get so big?
07:19Abram?
07:22Abram?
07:26Abram?
07:27He spoke to me.
07:30What?
07:32He spoke to me.
07:34Who?
07:35Garth.
07:37Garth?
07:38Garth.
07:41Garth.
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.
07:56I sense...
07:59Describe.
08:01Go forth, he said.
08:03From your native land and to the land that I will show you.
08:09And...
08:09You want...
08:11To 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.
08:23Children, Sarai.
08:24He's going to give us children.
08:26Those were his words.
08:28Those were his words to you, Abram.
08:30Yes.
08:31And I have to go.
08:33I 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.
08:52I...
08:53I trust you.
08:59If you need me to do this...
09:03I will go with you.
09:12Eliezer.
09:14Fill these as well.
09:16We 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 further?
09:45I fear that's not to be.
09:48Not in this lifetime.
10:07It is.
10:28I fear that we số 1.
10:32We should be.
10:33I fear that we are.
10:38We have to find water.
10:42Grass to pasture our flock.
10:45Where? There's drought across the entire Levant.
10:47Then we head south to Egypt.
10:50No matter the drought, the Nile still flows.
11:12The Nile.
11:18The little ones.
11:21Cheers.
11:36You've been starving, Abram.
11:38Did your God not warn you of all this suffering?
11:41We have water now. Food will come.
11:44Well, it best come soon.
11:46If people are hungry, they need bread.
11:49If 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.
12:31I'll go at once.
12:33Hang on! Hang on!
12:39I'm nice to get down.
12:52So many of them.
12:57This one.
12:59Why is she not bound?
13:03She needs to be made an example of.
13:06Mr. Sarai, on your knees, before the living God.
13:20She's out.
13:24Wait, wait.
13:25No!
13:25Wait!
13:26Please!
13:27Let her go!
13:28Let her go!
13:29Let me go!
13:35Shai-! Shai-!
13:40Shai-!
14:12What is your name?
14:15Sarai
14:16Tell me, Sarai
14:19Are you of royal blood?
14:22No, Pharaoh
14:24Are you a goddess?
14:28No, Pharaoh
14:30Presence
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
15:12And you do not recognise him?
15:16He would recognise me
15:20Know what's in my heart
15:22My every thought
15:24That I meant no offence
15:31Since none was meant
15:34Then none is taken
15:39I shall not kill her
15:43Pharaoh 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
16:04No, it was my brother
16:06Good
16:07Unless Messi that way
16:09I'll see to him
16:10He's paid a handsome price
16:12Hagar
16:14Clean her and dress her for Pharaoh tonight
16:17Consider this slave girl
16:19The betrothal gift
16:21It's Pharaoh's desire
16:22That is wise
16:22Be happy here
16:29You were right to lie
16:31About your husband
16:33The Pharaoh would have had him killed
16:37Come with me
16:38Please
16:48You love your husband very much
16:51He's my world
16:54I do know what it means to give someone up
16:56So that they might live
17:01I wasn't born a slave, you know
17:05My people were reed farmers in shore
17:10We worshipped the wrong god
17:12So Pharaoh had our village raised
17:14And our field salted
17:18My family were starving
17:21I sold myself for three pieces of silver
17:24To a passing slave trader
17:26So they could live
17:29I'll see them again
17:32Someday
17:33Where 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
17:42Only 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
18:33Maybe I can't
18:36A preserver
18:36You and your husband

25:35Oh, mama's coming.
25:43Where are you?
25:45Where are you?
25:48It's all right.
25:50Are you all right?
25:51Everything's fine.
25:52Go back to sleep.
26:07Go back to sleep.
26:27Hey!
26:30We did what you asked, and nothing.
26:33My womb stays closed.
26:36It's not a god, are you?
26:39Ah!
26:41Your promises mean nothing.
26:45Say something!
26:50Say something!
26:52Say something!
26:53Say something to me!
27:07And that's when he saw it, a dove turning to the ark with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her
27:14mouth.
27:14And that's when no one knew the floodwaters 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.
27:27I think it's time for bed.
27:30Oh, it's time for the pharaoh!
27:45I think it's time for me.
27:46As if it were one of the sagas.
27:48It might be one day.
27:49Pardon the interruption.
27:51Peter and I have something to ask.
27:54Celia 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 men each other.
28:17Remember when that was us?
28:19Yes, I 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, he's...
28:47good and born of our household.
28:51It's loyal.
28:56We'll talk about it in the morning.
29:09False.
29:13Good and loud.
29:15False.
29:22No.
29:23No.
29:26No.
29:27No.
29:28No.
29:39Abram?
29:44What happened here?
29:46We made a covenant here now.
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 he can't?
30:50You're blessed.
30:52You have a loving husband.
30:54A community.
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 Farrah'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.
31:39You 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 asked.
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.
32:41Once 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?
33:14It's so pretty.
33:20Oh.
33:23Oh.
33:30Good wine.
33:31It's from Kith.
33:33Expensive wine.
33:34Ah.
33:37Well.
33:40It's a special night.
33:42Hmm?
33:43How so?
33:45Going to ensure your bloodline.
33:50Lie with Hagar, Abram.
33:53So that we might have a child by her.
33:56That's right.
33:57Abram.
33:57God told you that we would have a family.
34:00A family.
34:02Yes.
34:04You and I.
34:05We will have a family.
34:07But only by Hagar.
34:12Abram, please.
34:27I have loved only one my whole life.
34:29ajud.
34:42I have loved ones.
34:45I have loved ones.
34:46And,ide.
35:05That's the only way.
35:55Oh, I was just getting these ready for you.
35:58Sorry, I was going to do it myself.
36:01Well, 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 have had a changed heart.
36:43No.
36:45No.
36:48Please lie with her until she is with a child.
36:53But remember, husband, she's a woman with a woman's heart.
37:28You're very beautiful.
37:31So, I don't know why I haven't noticed that until now.
37:43You tell me about them, your family.
37:50I have two younger brothers, Han and Creel.
37:57Han and Creel.
37:59What are they like?
38:03And I can't wait to see them.
38:25Good boy.
38:28Abram!
38:42Good boy.
38:43The sun.
