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 today.
05:56Be merry.
06:00No.
06:01No.
06:12No.
06:17Did you hear that?
06:21It's just the wind.
06:23Can we go back to sleep?
07:00Good morning, Lila.
07:02I'm sorry, did I wake you up?
07:04I'm tired.
07:05Is it his cough?
07:07If you put some mint and some honey in your tea, it should do the trick.
07:11Oh, oh, wait.
07:14How did you get so big?
07:18Abram?
07:22Abram?
07:25Abram?
07:27He spoke to me.
07:30What?
07:32He 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.
07:57Presence.
07:59Describe.
08:01Go forth, he said, from 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.
08:26Those 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.
08:39Please, my love.
08:43You must trust me.
08:47Please, trust me.
08:52I trust you.
08:59If you need me to do this.
09:03And we'll go with you.
09:13Eliezer.
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.
10:06I fear that you have eaten.
10:11I fear that you are asleep.
10:13I fear that you are able to reach for me.
10:39We have to find water.
10:42Grass, to pastor 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.
11:18Your little ones.
11:21Cheers, cheers.
11:36you've been starving Abram
11:37did your God not warn you of all this suffering
11:41we have water now
11:43food will come
11:44well it best come soon
11:45people are hungry they need bread
11:49if we offer enough
11:50there must be somewhere
11:52to buy grain
11:54I'll go at once
11:57but
11:58we'll need to make it last
12:23come on
12:32hang on
12:34hang on
12:34hang on
12:39okay
12:40I need 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, I'm on your knees before the living God.
13:20Cease them!
13:24Wait, wait! No! Wait!
13:26Please, let her go!
13:28No! Let me go!
13:36Sarai! Sarai!
13:41Sarai!
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?
14:27No, 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.
14:39I meant no offence.
14:40What about a god?
14:41Would you dare to bow before?
14:44If I encountered one?
14:52It is alright.
14:53It 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?
15:28Hmm.
15:32Since none was met,
15:35then 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, it was my brother.
16:06Good.
16:07It's messy that way.
16:09I'll see to him he's paid a handsome price.
16:12Hagar.
16:14Clean her and dress her 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 inshore.
17:10We worshipped the wrong god, so Pharaoh had our village raised and our fields salted.
17:17Our family were starving.
17:21I sold myself for three pieces of silver to a passing slave trader.
17:26So they could live?
17:29I'll see them again.
17:32Someday.
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 you.
18:22If there was, I would have found it.
18:41He's gonna be careful.
18:58Come closer.
19:06You almost look Egyptian.
19:10Almost.
19:15But not so much.
19:19Underneath this dainton 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.
19:51Look around you.
19:56These mindsets.
20:00They go back centuries.
20:03Who knows?
20:05Maybe one day it will be your countenance that adores these sacred walls.
20:13Ignore.
20:13Ignore.
20:18Pharaoh 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.
20:58You witch.
20:58What magic is this?
20:59What have you done to me?
21:00It's not fair.
21:09I will.
21:11I will.
21:15I will.
21:17I will.
21:21I will.
21:23Come and never come back. Take your slave girl and see that you both never return on a bane of
21:27death.
21:29Hang on. Come, come with me.
21:55Oh, my beloved, you're alive.
22:03Did they hurt you? Are you, are you harmed?
22:07No.
22:09No.
22:11Was it God? Did God save you?
22:14I can't explain it.
22:22Who is this?
22:25There you go. She's coming with us.
22:38So that one day I might see my home again.
22:47I was banished from my homeland, and my life was saved by this stranger.
22:54I had witnessed a power that could make a pharaoh cower in pain.
23:00I could have run away, but I chose to follow her into the unknown, wherever it would lead.
23:18Good place to start a family.
23:30You need to start saving your first mourning bladder.
23:33Saving 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.
23:57What 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.
24:06Thank ye I go.
24:31Thank ye I go.
24:34Thank ye I go.
24:39Thank ye I go.
24:41Well, next time.
25:05You're still okay.
25:13You're still okay.
25:17You're still okay.
25:18You're still okay.
25:19You're still okay.
25:19I'm always having my life.
25:22Also mile high is right.
25:35oh mama's coming

27:49Pardon the interruption.
27:51Peter and I have something to ask.
27:54Sir Lila 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.
