00:10I failed you, Abram.
00:12No.
00:12Your bloodline ends with me.
00:14Previously, on The Faithful.
00:17God spoke to me.
00:18Go forth, he said.
00:20To 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.
01:17That's it.
01:18I felt him.
01:20Are you alive?
01:22Yeah.
01:26I felt him a kick.
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 ours.
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.
02:17What do you think of the name Jared?
02:23Kenan?
02:26Seth?
02:26I like Benjamin and Caleb and Ephraim.
02:35Come so to your kisses, child.
02:41I will not let thee kiss.
02:45Come so to soon appear.
02:50I will not let thee soon.
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?
03:22I will not let thee.
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.
03:50I know what I made my mark to.
03:51I just didn't know I was going to feel this way when I made it.
03:54What 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
04:14because 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?
04:23Do 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'll 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.
06:00I broke a pledge.
06:03I broke her heart.
06:12I broke her heart.
07:01I broke her heart.
07:04you two go south along the river you two go east the goshen road go
07:11the night won't have stars there even a chance we'll catch her we must try go
07:14we need to reach her before she gets within the gebbels if desert will swallow her tracks
07:25we've been searching for hours she could be anywhere
07:30i know you blame me there's no way you could have known she'd do something like
07:34this for asking you to lie with her in the first place should have had more faith
07:42i wanted to give you a son i know
07:48i know he's gone i know
08:09i'm almost there i'm almost home myself
08:15egypt's
08:44ah
08:46Where are you? How 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.
09:31What must I do for these things to come to pass?
09:34You know what you must do.
09:43Those two, those right here!
09:49Sarai, Sarai, Sarai.
09:58My God.
09:59Hang on.
10:12You're safe.
10:15Yes.
10:16Are you well?
10:16Yes.
10:17And the baby?
10:18He's fine.
10:20We were fine.
10:24You came back?
10:27I was almost at the border near shore, when He appeared to me.
10:33Who appeared to you?
10:39The angel of God.
10:41The 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, but He said they would only come to pass if I
10:54returned.
10:55And He told me to come back, return your son, and submit myself to you.
11:04So here I am.
11:05We've had more than a woman from God.
11:19He looked different.
11:20All right, she was a lady.
11:23Oh, there you go.
11:25Oh, Sarai.
11:27Oh, no.
11:27Oh, oh, oh.
11:29Oh, no.
11:29It's all right.
11:30He's coming.
11:32Someone get the midwife.
11:33I'm scared.
11:34I'm scared.
11:35It's all right.
11:35All right. I'm here.
11:37Breathe.
11:39All right.
11:41Breathe.
11:42All right.
11:43All right.
11:48Harder.
11:49Breathe. All right. All right.
11:51Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
11:53And...
11:58You're almost there.
11:59You're almost there.
12:00Again.
12:01One more. One more.
12:02Come on. You can do this. You can do this.
12:09You did it.
12:12You did it.
12:14You did it.
12:16You did it.
12:18You did it.
12:20He's there.
12:32He's there.
12:34The fact he is.
12:40Your son.
12:52How can I ever repay you?
12:56Let me stay.
12:59Let me be a part of his life.
13:04What about your home?
13:07He is my own home.
13:17Abram?
13:25It's a other tale for her.
13:30Ishmael.
13:32My son.
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.
14:17Alright.
14:18No, no, you stay. Enjoy the fire.
14:20I'll take him.
14:21Come on.
14:22Go on, my love.
14:26Come on.
14:32Bedtime, 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.
15:29Mother?
15:32Who are those men with father?
15:35I'm not sure they arrived on horseback an hour ago.
15:38There must be someone important.
15:40If the elders prepare a choice calf.
15:45Hey, Ishmael.
15:46Off with you.
15:47Go back to your studies.
15:48Do I have to?
15:49Learn to read and write?
15:50Yes.
15:51You can shoot your bow later.
15:55Hey, Gar, will you take them in the fruit?
15:57Yes.
15:59You haven't told your wife what's going to happen, have you?
16:03Not yet.
16:04She must know.
16:05She's a vital part of our covenant.
16:08Be assured, by the time I return to you in the spring,
16:12your wife, Sarah, will have a son.
16:17She may think she's too old, but nothing is impossible for me.
16:26That man.
16:28The one with his back to us.
16:29He was talking about you.
16:31Well, what was he saying?
16:32You said you're going to have a son in the spring.
16:35Maybe you should listen.
16:37She laughs.
16:40Your wife.
16:41And nothing's impossible for you, God.
16:44This is her destiny.
16:45Now I must go.
16:48Why must you travel, Sir Sodom?
16:51It is such a wicked place.
16:54That is why we go there.
16:58To do what?
17:00This is not your concern.
17:03Remember, Abraham.
17:05Sarah will have her child in the spring.
17:24I am too old to bear a child.
17:27Nothing is impossible for our God.
17:29Abraham, if that is your new name, this is madness.
17:33God names you Sarah, and our child's name will be Isaac.
17:37And God will make his covenant with him.
17:39And what of Ishmael?
17:41Father, I'm going to have a brother.
17:45Yes, Ishmael, a brother.
17:47God will make his covenant with him, not me.
17:50It is not to be my son.
17:53But Abraham, Ishmael is your eldest.
17:56Hagar is right. This makes no sense.
17:58It's God's will.
17:59Father.
18:00I'm sorry, my son.
18:01Enough!
18:02Enough of your God's empty promises.
18:05Ishmael is your son and heir.
18:07There will be no other.
18:13You need to see this.
18:16Come, come.
18:18No.
18:19No.
18:20No!
18:20No.
18:23No, no.
18:26What's happening?
18:27It's falling west on Solomon.
18:35God did this.

33:49my son
33:50he needs water
33:53rise and hold him fast
33:55so that I might make a great nation of him
34:05Oh, my God.
34:43I finally made it to the ocean.
34:50My love, you bring my box from over there.
35:10I have to tell you the truth.
35:13Open it.
35:20Oh, a pledge for Hagar.
35:25You kept it.
35:28It was I who left it in your town.
35:32I wanted Israel to find it.
35:36You?
35:39It was you who left it there, not Hagar.
35:47I knew he would never leave.
35:50He loved you too much.
35:54So I gave him someone to hate.
35:58Me.
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.
36:15So he could find his destiny like we found ours.
36:20You have held on to 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.
37:22I'll wait for you then.
37:24Sarah's journey was the hardest of all.
37:27She 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.
37:55She was my friend.
38:09We're here to bury our dead.
38:13Who stands in our way?
38:26Hagar.
38:28You came.
38:33Isaac, do you remember me?
38:40How is my brother Ishmael?
38:42He is well.
38:45He's attending to his family.
38:46And he is admired by all who surround him.
38:49That gives me so much peace.
38:53Isaac, have you taken a wife?
39:00My mother always wanted me to marry a girl from Iran.
39:06Come.
39:08Let us bury your beautiful wife.
39:10Bye.
39:23Bye.
39:24Come on.
40:01Come on.
40:25Come on.
40:26So that someday I might see my home again.
40:32Because of you, I did.
40:37I got my freedom.
40:40And my son.
40:50Godspeed, old friend.
40:53There won't soon be another like you.
41:19Godspeed, old friend.
41:33Lord, as a shoulder, my beloved, no matter what life I bring.
41:47Godspeed, old friend.
41:47Godspeed, old friend.
41:52Godspeed, old friend.
42:07Godspeed, old friend.
42:23I love you.
