00:10This is your betrothed, Isaac, son of Abraham.
00:13My purpose is here.
00:16Previously on The Faithful.
00:18Isaac, God spoke to me.
00:21We're to have two sons.
00:23He said the elder would serve the younger.
00:25You cannot usurp what is Esau's by birthright.
00:28So says the second born heir.
00:30Swear to me you will never mention this to either of them.
00:34It is Jacob who must lead.
00:37You must see it all.
01:05Have you come to join the Huns, brother?
01:09Simon, a bow for Jacob.
01:11It is about time you learned how to use one, brother.
01:13You're supposed to be at council.
01:15There's not high sun.
01:20See that the kills are brought back to camp?
01:24Is father angry?
01:24You would be, had I not made excuses for you.
01:28I do not deserve you, brother.
01:33We'd be back to camp.
01:35Now we'll confess all my transgressions.
01:37Huh.
01:38And if you win?
01:39What else is there to take?
01:42Hey!
01:44Yeah!
01:45Yeah!
01:47Yeah!
01:48Come on.
01:49Come on.
01:50Winner takes all.
01:51Go!
01:52Come on!
01:53Keep up!
01:54Come on now, brother.
01:55Help!
01:55It's an open range.
01:57You cannot claim what belongs to nature.
01:59Abraham himself blessed this land
02:01and granted us grazing rights.
02:03Your rights died.
02:04Quiet!
02:07You dare invoke my father's name?
02:11Do you think this is what he'd want?
02:15That he quarrels the mistrust?
02:17Oh, come on, brother.
02:19Is it the horse who tires or you?
02:20It's the horse.
02:21Come on!
02:22Come on!
02:23Yeah!
02:23You're too slow, Jacob.
02:25Yeah!
02:26Yeah!
02:26In the years since our communities came together,
02:30I'd hoped we'd have grown closer.
02:35But our differences seem only more pronounced.
02:38Right, you are, brother.
02:40Come on!
02:40I was hoping for a race.
02:42Yeah!
02:43Come on!
02:44Go!
02:44Yeah!
02:46Yeah!
02:47Separately, we are weak.
02:50We leave ourselves vulnerable to those who want what we have.
02:55But as one nation, we are protected.
02:59We are stronger and richer in every way,
03:02which leaves us with a choice.
03:05Will we grow and prosper together?
03:08Be the shepherds of God's promise,
03:10or will we splinter and languish alone?
03:18Draw your borders.
03:19And if you cannot find common ground,
03:22I'll leave you both with none.
03:25Don't choose.
03:35I win again, brother.
03:39Please, please.
03:40You must hear me.
03:41The Hittites.
03:43They've plugged up our world with sand.
03:45Our herd won't live to see the new moon.
03:47You must do something.
03:48The Hittites.
03:50They are vile, but not unreasonable.
03:52I've had plenty of dealings with them.
03:54Father, you allow me?
03:56My son's word carries the weight of my own.
03:59He'll see to it.
04:01And me about the hunt.
04:03That buck that eluded me the last few days.
04:05Yeah.
04:06I found him by the Glen.
04:08We'll feast for days.
04:11You fetched him, didn't you?
04:13It shouldn't be my responsibility to remind Esau of his.
04:16Stop protecting him.
04:19Leave him to his devices.
04:20Let him succeed or fail on his own.
04:23We know what'll happen.
04:24Then your father will know as well.
04:27What does it matter?
04:29Esau's the firstborn.
04:30His fate has decided, as is mine.
04:32It matters.
04:41It matters more each day.
04:48It matters.
04:54It matters.
05:11Esau, he's stepping into the role.
05:14We must support him, both of us.
05:19Even your father saw it.
05:22But you...
05:24You refuse.
05:26Not this again. I thought we were past this.
05:28You are past it.
05:30I'm forced to confront it at every turn.
05:34You have no idea what it's like to look at our sons, knowing what I know.
05:39To feel responsible and helpless at the same time.
05:45Because my husband denies it.
05:49He denies the will of God.
05:53Forgive me, my love.
05:57How am I to respect your wishes when you ignore mine?
05:59Where are you going?
06:00My appetite's left me.
06:08Help!
06:10Someone's left, help!
06:11It's Ingo, he's hard!
06:20Isaac.
06:22Esau!
06:24Esau, what happened?
06:25Help!
06:30Esau!
06:30Can you hear me?
06:31Who did this?
06:33The head tights.
06:34I went to talk to them about the well.
06:36I tried to get them to listen.
06:38But that was never their intention.
06:40That they mean war.
06:41Then that's what we should give them.
06:42Isaac, no.
06:43Ready the men.
06:48As soon as I am able, we will take the fight to them.
06:57All of this over a well.
06:59You saw what they did, Tim.
07:02They attacked our family.
07:03They attacked the Covenant itself.
07:19Why are we speaking alone?
07:23I must know your thoughts about what's to come.
07:26This reeks of a dispute that got out of hand.
07:28In matters of war, we have little experience.
07:31We would lose.
07:34We'd like your brother more confidence than we should.
07:38It is not my place to intervene.
07:40Nor is it yours.
07:43There is something I must tell you.
07:48Something I swore to your father I never would.
07:54What is it?
07:57Jacob, when I was pregnant with you, God spoke to me.
08:00He revealed himself.
08:03What did he say?
08:05That the Covenant is meant to pass to you.
08:09Not your brother.
08:14I don't understand.
08:16Esau is the firstborn.
08:17It's his birthright.
08:18Everyone looks to him as the heir.
08:19Because your father refuses to accept it.
08:22He was chosen over his brother as well.
08:25And it scarred him.
08:30But if God commands it...
08:33Your father's relationship with him is complicated.
08:38But he needs to see what I see when I look upon you, what God sees.
08:44Then I must prove it to him.
08:46Show him.
08:48I will go to the Hittites and secure a peace between us.
08:52You'll be risking your life.
08:55For the sake of our people.
08:58I have no other choice.
09:16Who are you?
09:18Mighty trespass on our soil.
09:21I am Jacob, son of Isaac.
09:25I extend an offer from my father to put aside our differences.
09:29Whatever wrongs exist between us, let us make them right.
09:37To broker peace.
09:40Will you allow me that?
09:49You went behind father's back, and you went behind mine.
09:52You had no rights.
09:54I did what I had to, to keep this from escalating.
09:57He put his own life in jeopardy, but you, you'd risk all of us.
10:00You overstepped.
10:01Both of you.
10:03And now we look weak in the face of the adversary.
10:06Adversary?
10:07You said it yourself.
10:08They are reasonable people.
10:10I have come to the same conclusion.
10:13I wonder, was it you that lost your head?
10:15Is that what started all of it?
10:16That's enough!
10:18Esau!
10:23And Jacob.
10:25The way this was handled, I have no words.
10:31The Hittites are open to a resolution.
10:35I'm certain of it.
10:39What was the proposition?
10:41We are to welcome a delegation to join us for a feast.
10:44You invite the enemy for dinner.
10:46Food and wine often pay for the road to peace.
10:50This will not end as you hope.
10:58See to the preparations.
11:02Rebecca.
11:07You put him up to this.
11:09You think I don't see him, but I see everything.
11:35They've come in numbers.
11:37You were clear this was a negotiation?
11:40Yes.
11:41But their leader only wanted to speak to Father directly.
11:45The road to peace seems more like a river.
11:48No, they're more robust than expected.
11:52I'll extend an invitation for formal peace talks in the morning.
11:59Thank you again for coming.
12:01You're welcome here.
12:02You're all welcome.
12:04Here.
12:05Appreciate your hospitality.
12:06Please feel free to make the most of it.
12:08And perhaps in the morning, you and I could have said no, enough.
12:13What is it?
12:14I'm not sure.
12:15Enough pleasantries.
12:16We've beaten it at hours.
12:18Is your son going to do the right thing or not?
12:21My son.
12:21I think there's been a misunderstanding.
12:24There's no misunderstanding.
12:27Esau defiles my daughter and sends his brother to make amends.
12:32You're a coward.
12:33He is a liar.
12:36Look at me.
12:38I want you to swear to me that this is not your doing.
12:40I've never even seen her before.
12:47You do right by her.
12:48I will finish what we started at the well.
12:53Eda!
12:54Eda!
12:55Stop this.
12:56Please stop this.
12:57Eda!
12:58Eda!
12:59Eda!
13:00Eda!
13:07Eda!
13:13Eda!
13:17Eda!
13:18Eda!
13:19Eda!
13:20Eda!
13:20Eda!
13:21Eda!
13:21Eda!
13:22Eda!
13:22Eda!
13:23Eda!
13:24Eda!
13:25Eda!
13:26Eda!
13:26Eda!
13:27Eda!
13:28It's done.
13:29He'll marry the Hittite girl.
13:35They could have killed you.
13:37I am not the one who invited them here.
13:41You're without the truth.
13:43All of this happened because you cannot control yourself.
13:50Don't just stand there.
13:51Go.
13:53Apologize to your betrothed.
14:16He's hungry.
14:18His cries all sound the same.
14:20How do you know?
14:22It comes with time.
14:23You'll learn.
14:26You'll learn.
14:29He needs to eat, my love.
14:32So do I.
14:35Your father's unwell.
14:37You ought to take his place at council.
14:39I'd have plans to go and hunt near the river.
14:41You have different plans now.
14:56These Hittites and their idols.
14:58This is not what my grandfather would have wanted.
15:01If Iso tolerates them,
15:04it's almost you.
15:08You have to listen to me.
15:10So disrespectful.
15:10It's no business of hers what happens in my tent.
15:14My children hear them.
15:15They're not even married.
15:17Enough of this nonsense.
15:19Leave.
15:20Leave.
15:26These idols are all over the camp.
15:29They don't even try to hide them anymore.
15:40The Hittites are not God-fearing people.
15:43Watch where you tread.
15:46You speak of Adar's family and mine.
15:49This is a place of civility.
15:52Act like it, both of you.
15:53Yes, little brother.
15:55Do know your place.
15:57That is my place.
16:02Jacob.
16:02Go on.
16:03Tell him.
16:07You shouldn't be out of bed.
16:09No, it is good that you are here.
16:12Jacob was about to invite me into a little secret
16:15that both he and Mother share.
16:17He needed to know.
16:19You defied me.
16:22I said my piece and you defied me.
16:24As you defy God.
16:31Isaac.
16:31Isaac.
16:33Isaac, speak to me.
16:35I can't...
16:36I can't see.
16:38I can't see.
16:42I can't see.
16:49I have seen this before.
16:51It strikes quickly and results slowly.
16:55If it resolves,
16:57it can render you unable to speak,
17:00or to walk.
17:02Or to see.
17:04Yes.
17:06But he'll improve.
17:10It's possible.
17:12But you must plan as if you won't.
17:19This is our fault.
17:22He's been sick for some time.
17:26But this...
17:30This feels different.
17:33Will you pray with me?
17:43Lord, may your mercy rest upon your servant Isaac,
17:45and restore his body and mind.
17:49May his days still be numerous.
17:52May your power and grace heal
17:54and sustain him.
17:57May his continued life make honour
17:59and glory to your name.
18:12I'm here.
18:12I'm here, my love.
18:13I'm here.
18:14I'm here.
18:15I know.
18:16I'm here.
18:18Is it night?
18:19Is it night?
18:19It's all right.
18:20It's morning.
18:22Oh, no.
18:23It's morning.
18:25It's all right.
18:31There's so many things I must say to you.
18:36Esau.
18:42I'll send for your sons.
18:43No.
18:44No.
18:47Esau.
18:55You can't leave me.
19:00I don't know what I would do.
19:02We cannot wait.
19:05You must receive the blessing.
19:14And the angel of God
19:16came down to Abraham a second time
19:19and said,
19:20you must leave this land.
19:26Is it the end?
19:28He believes so.
19:30He intends to bless Esau.
19:32He's asked your brother to hunt and repair me up for him.
19:35We must get to him first.
19:38You want me to receive the blessing of Esau's stead?
19:41About his sight, he may not know the difference.
19:43If he touches me, he will know.
19:44Let me worry about that.
19:46Has our conspiring not caused enough damage?
19:48It's his resistance that's caused it.
19:53Do you believe God's back to me?
19:56Yes.
19:57Yes.
19:58Yes, of course.
19:59Then you must also accept his word
20:01and anger before it's too late.
20:03What if I bring upon myself a curse
20:04instead of a blessing?
20:07You let it be my curse.
20:12I love your father and your brother both.
20:15You think I'd suggest such a thing
20:16if I saw another way?
20:19Go to the flock.
20:20If that's one kid for us, Stu.
20:23Go.
20:24Hurry.
20:25Be quiet.
20:27I'll go bad.
20:29Come.
20:46Hey.
20:49Hey.
20:53Hey!
20:54Oh, my God.
21:47Say as little as possible.
21:49Understand?
22:09Who's that?
22:16Esau.
22:19I've done as you asked.
22:23Bring it to me.
22:42Esau, let me eat of your game so that I may bless you.
23:13Come near us, my son.
23:30May God give you of the Jew of heaven and of the fatness of the land.
23:39May people praise you.
23:43And nations bow down here.
23:46May God bless you.
24:03May God bless you.
24:07May God bless you.
24:16May God bless you.
24:18May God bless you.
24:20May God bless you.
24:36May God bless you.
24:37May God bless you.
24:38May God bless you.
24:40May God bless you.
24:44May God bless you.
24:47May God bless you.
24:48I've done exactly as you asked.
25:07Forgive me.
25:25Help me understand.
25:26There's but one blessing?
25:30As it was with Abraham and my father,
25:34only one can accept the covenant.
25:41Please, I beg you, do not act rashly.
25:52I know it was you.
26:01You left me no choice.
26:07If you believe that, then you too are blind.
26:15Esau is the heir.
26:18Now Jacob holds the covenant.
26:23Neither are all.
26:28You deceived me.
26:32And you condemned them both.
26:46Don't eat your judgment, daughter.
26:49Add my fill.
26:56Esau and I,
26:58our beginning was not ideal.
27:03But I love him.
27:05As he does me.
27:07I know it to be true.
27:11And I must tell you what he's planning.
27:14Because it will only make things worse for him.
27:21Surely I can reason with him.
27:23You will go to my brother in Haran and stay with him.
27:25Until when?
27:27Until Esau's fury subsides.
27:29And if it never does?
27:31This is God's will.
27:39I love you.
27:45Go.
27:49Go.
27:55Go.
27:56Go.
28:07Go.
28:09Go.
28:10Go.
28:11Go.
28:15Go.
28:17Those who seek miracles, fear not, you godless champion, has arrived.
28:26You sit in my stead. Where's father?
28:29You're lazy and you're drunk.
28:32Ah, well, that would explain it.
28:35Come, learn something.
28:38Your grandfather had me in here when I was your age.
28:42Simon promised to take us on a hunt.
28:44Did he?
28:47Many wait on you, Esau.
28:48Perhaps it's best to get through this without distraction.
28:52Fine.
28:54Go.
29:02Are you getting enough rest?
29:05The new baby is, uh, spirited.
29:25You brought me back from the dead.
29:28Only you live to resent me.
29:32No.
29:34Perhaps for a while.
29:38Perhaps for a long while.
29:45I've been trapped in this old body so long.
29:49I've had time to think.
29:53And?
29:56What have you arrived at?
30:03I'm as responsible as you are.
30:21Standing my ground is tearing us all apart.
30:27My beloved husband is fading away.
30:34Jacob is lost to me.
30:37In exile.
30:43I question whether my purpose is worth the cost.
30:50And Esau is weak and diminished.
30:59And this is my doing.
31:05I hate to see you like this.
31:23I do love you.
31:28I hope you know that.
31:34Perhaps part of you does.
31:47No one cares about the weight of a mother's blessing.
31:52But I give you mine, nonetheless.
32:01May the burdens be lifted from you.
32:07So that you can be the man you're meant to be.
32:12For your children, your wives.
32:17And yourself.
32:47What's going on?
32:48A messenger from the road.
32:50He says there's a caravan on the way here.
32:52From where?
32:53Iran.
32:54Oh, it's Jacob.
32:56It's Jacob.
32:58Oh, he's coming home. I'm coming home.
33:08Your mother's waiting for you.
33:10She hopes to quiet your mind.
33:15You have no business being in here.
33:17His time not healed. It was broken.
33:19I've only ever stood in the way of what he wants.
33:21And now, he intends to take it by force.
33:27You don't know his intentions.
33:29And you do.
33:31Even if you did, I could not trust you to tell me the truth.
33:37Every morning, I see you standing on that hill, waiting for him.
33:44Wishing it was him here instead of me.
33:47It's not true.
33:51I promise you it's not true.
33:56All I've ever wanted was for us to be a family.
33:59And that can never happen because of you.
34:03It is me or him and I will not let him destroy what I have built here.
34:07Is this the life you wanted?
34:09You know nothing of what I want.
34:13He is.
34:14He is your blood.
34:15And if his return relieves you, then...
34:19Why not welcome it?
34:22Please, please.
34:28This is not what God wants.
34:29No.
34:30No!
34:31It is not what you want!
34:34And that's all I've ever imagined!
34:36Hasn't it, Mother?
34:45Please!
34:53Word is, he travels in numbers.
34:55There can only be one reason.
34:57To take back what he believes is his.
34:59That he will pay for his treachery with his life.
35:25There are women and children among them.
35:30There are women and children.
35:31A distraction.
35:33Nothing more.
35:34No.
35:36No.
35:37No.
35:42No.
35:43No.
35:44No.
35:53No.
35:54No.
35:55No.
35:55No.
35:56No.
35:57No.
35:58No.
35:59No.
36:10No.
36:13No.
36:14No.
36:15No.
36:16No.
36:16It's over.
36:16No.
36:17No.
36:17No.
36:34It's been a long time, brother.
36:44Why are you without weapon?
36:48I am not here to fight.
36:51I only hope to find favor in your eyes.
36:58I have dreamt of this day.
37:09Do as you must, brother.
37:14For all that I have done, it is your right.
37:47I have dreamt of this day.
38:13I have dreamt of this day.
38:23Oh, it's good to see you, brother.
38:46They say you'll step aside?
38:48Yes.
38:53How do you feel?
39:10Free.
39:24Where are you going?
39:32Don't.
39:34Where are you going?
39:36Where are you going?
40:15I didn't think I would be here if it ever came to pass.
40:19Where to meet his family, his children.
40:26God has truly missed us this day.
40:38You'll excuse me, my love.
40:41I'll see about tonight.
40:44It was you, wasn't it?
40:48Don't deny it, I know what you're capable of.
40:51I needn't explain myself to you.
40:52If Jacob's intentions were different, if he meant Esau harm, then you would have left my husband defenseless.
40:59What's right and what's fair do not always coincide.
41:01No.
41:03You chose one son over the other.
41:06It was not a choice.
41:07It was not a choice.
41:09It's what had to be done.
41:12Well, I hope you can live with yourself.
41:14I'm not sure I could.
41:25I don't expect anyone to understand.
41:29But I've done my best to be your servant.
41:34If I've transgressed, I hope you'll forgive me.
41:39It's taken so long.
41:41It cost so much.
41:45But we arrived here.
41:49Our family is reunited.
41:55You will be the one to judge me in the end.
42:00But today, today I have this.
42:04And I shall revel in it.
42:34I'll be the one to judge you in the end.
42:41I have this, and I will be the one to judge.
42:46You
