00:27To be continued...
00:30She did this to trap me!
00:32In the eyes of the world, Leia and I are married!
00:34Where you won't treat her as your real wife?
00:36It'll just be you and me.
00:37Straight hook, we're going to have a son.
01:00One more!
01:01Come on, Leia!
01:04I know. I know.
01:07The baby is the fruit of your sister's deception, but here we are.
01:10No, no. It's not the babe's fault.
01:13I shall still be a loving aunt.
01:19That's my son.
01:21A hearty arrival into this world.
01:24If you're staying away from me, you don't have to.
01:26This is important.
01:29You're certain?
01:29Yes.
01:31Don't be a father.
01:47His name's Ruben.
01:51Ruben.
02:03It's the happiest day of my life.
02:23Jacob promised Rachel that nothing would alter their love or life together.
02:28You'd be good for your mother.
02:29But my life was realized the moment our child was born.
02:34My dreams came into focus.
02:38As hers began to fade,
02:41I felt her pain.
02:58Hour by hour,
03:00day by day,
03:01Jacob and I spun towards one another
03:04until
03:05we were one.
03:21Lord,
03:23bless my son, Ruben,
03:25on his first birthday.
03:28Make him strong
03:29to live a life in your service.
03:32Amen.
03:34Amen.
04:02Oh, what a talent, eh?
04:07What are you making?
04:08A toy for Ruben.
04:10Aw,
04:11that's most kind, sister.
04:12Well, it must be hard
04:13to see Jacob and Leah's closeness.
04:16Yes,
04:16they are looking quite the happy little family.
04:18I've hardly noticed.
04:20Besides,
04:20they have a child together.
04:21It's impossible for them
04:23to not share a closeness,
04:24but it's me,
04:25Jacob loves.
04:26It's my tent
04:26where he spends his nights.
04:28She's getting rather testy.
04:30Perhaps her monthly friend
04:32is visiting her way.
04:33Move away.
04:36Oh, here.
04:38I call upon my household gods
04:40to bless
04:42my beautiful grandchild.
04:45And I bought one for you
04:46to place upon your hearth.
04:50Um,
04:51Ruben has been blessed already
04:53by Jacob's god,
04:55the lord himself.
04:56Your daughter understands.
04:59My god is very important to me.
05:01Our god.
05:03I believe in him too.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yes.
05:08Our god.
05:10And my descendants
05:11shall continue in our faith.
05:13Oh.
05:17These are so gods
05:18who handed down to me
05:19from my father
05:20to his father before that.
05:22Please don't take offence.
05:24Please don't take offence.
05:25I know you mean well.
05:30Huh.
05:33How can I take offence
05:34when you have given me
05:36the most perfect grantee?
05:40He has brought
05:41so much joy
05:42to my life.
05:47Clever, Ruben.
05:49You'll be playing
05:50with us next.
05:52Here.
05:53Room.
05:57Good boy.
05:59You won't be gone too long?
06:01Uh, only a few weeks,
06:03that's how you imagine.
06:04There's quite a handful
06:05of merchants
06:06to trade with
06:07along the main road
06:08who have interest
06:08in our wall.
06:10I hope your brothers
06:11and the shepherds
06:12you're traveling with
06:12keep you safe.
06:13I would come
06:14were it not for Ruben.
06:19I was thinking
06:22when I return
06:23it might be high time
06:25for me to focus
06:27my efforts less
06:28on family business
06:29and more
06:30on starting
06:31family with you.
06:32We do need to move faster
06:34if you're to bear
06:35my next eleven children.
06:36Yes, you're magical twelve.
06:39Yes.
06:41I can't believe
06:43you.
06:50It's so fun.
06:53Good night.
07:04They're my little stars.
07:08Always be the vision
07:09I had on my way
07:10to Haram
07:11when I saw the angels.
07:14They were far away.
07:19Ethereal.
07:20Difficult to behold
07:21with the eye
07:21but at the same time
07:23bright
07:24and beautiful.
07:26I wish I could have
07:27seen it.
07:29I remember
07:30when you told us
07:31that story
07:32the first time
07:32we met
07:33I was so impressed
07:36I was so impressed
07:36that God himself
07:37had spoken to you.
07:42I haven't heard
07:43the Lord's voice
07:43in a long time
07:44but
07:45I often reach out
07:46to the memory
07:47of that vision
07:48in difficult moments.
07:50you're a man of deep faith
07:53that's what drew me
07:54to you.
08:02I've lost track of time
08:03I should leave.
08:04Must you?
08:07You know Rachel
08:08wouldn't appreciate me
08:09tarrying in your tent.
08:10playing family
08:11with you
08:13spending time together
08:15our late night
08:16conversations
08:19sometimes I wonder
08:21if you might not
08:21love me too.
08:27Leia
08:27it's not what you think
08:28I
08:29I love
08:32I love the life
08:34that you have given me.
08:35Should that not be enough?
08:49husband
08:52miss me?
08:53I have no idea.
08:56Let's go make a baby then.
09:01Mom
09:14Two cycles
09:15and still not pregnant.
09:17I guess we'll have to keep trying.
09:24What?
09:27There's no pleasant way
09:28to tell you this
09:30but when you were gone
09:31a few months ago
09:32I spent a night
09:33with your sister
09:35and now she's pregnant.
10:04Are you ever going to forgive me?
10:08It's been a week Rachel
10:09you've hardly said two words to me.
10:11Do you think that's sufficient time
10:12to stop being angry
10:13when I'm to be cruelly reminded
10:15for the next nine months
10:17of your indiscretion
10:18every time
10:18I look at Leia's swollen belly?
10:20It is not an indiscretion!
10:22Leia is also my wife!
10:23This is not
10:24what we agreed on.
10:25Or the agreement to act
10:26as if Leia isn't a part
10:27of this family
10:27it doesn't work.
10:30You are the love
10:31of my life
10:32Rachel.
10:33It hurts me
10:34to hurt you
10:35but the truth is
10:36I care for Leia too.
10:38She is the mother
10:39of my child
10:40soon to be children.
10:42She must have manipulated you
10:44fallen into your arms
10:46sobbing over her loneliness
10:47going on
10:48She has rights too
10:50as my wife
10:51and I can no longer
10:52pretend that she doesn't exist
10:53or that we are not
10:55truly married
10:55when we share so many
10:56intimate moments together
10:57as parents.
10:59You can't possibly understand.
11:00Why won't I understand?
11:02Because I'm not a mother.
11:10What are you doing?
11:12There's only one way
11:13to fix this problem.
11:14I clearly have a lot
11:15of catching up to do.
11:41With each child born to Jacob
11:43and I
11:43my life grew fuller
11:45and fuller.
11:46I had everything
11:47Rachel wanted.
11:48My sister was always
11:50strong
11:50Sure
11:53Unshakeable
11:58But she was bending
11:59under the weight
12:00of disappointment.
12:07Ruben
12:08Will you come help me
12:09in the kitchen?
12:10Okay.
12:12And one can only bend
12:14so much
12:15before one breaks.
12:45What is it?
12:45What's wrong?
12:50Jacob
12:52Please give me children
12:53or I shall die.
12:55It's been six years
12:56I can't bear it any longer.
13:00We're trying everything we can.
13:02I want this so badly too.
13:04Do you?
13:05Because you seem perfectly content
13:06to have an entire brood
13:08of my sister's children.
13:09How can you say such a thing?
13:11I am desperate to have a child with you.
13:14Then am I in the place of God
13:16who has chosen to deny you a baby?
13:18No, you're the one
13:19who has denied me a chance
13:20to catch up with Leia.
13:21It is painful enough
13:23that you can't stop sleeping
13:24with my sister
13:25but she seems to become pregnant
13:26when you even cast an eye upon her.
13:29You asked for twelve children.
13:30You already have eight
13:31and none of them are by me.
13:34Then tell me, Rachel.
13:36What would you have me do?
13:39Stop betting my sister
13:41or I will stop betting you.
13:46The serpent approached Eve
13:48and told her to eat
13:50of the fruit of knowledge
13:51that her eyes shall open
13:55and she'll know good from evil.
14:00But I must leave you in suspense.
14:03It is time for sleep.
14:08Come on, my sons.
14:13My bed grows cold these days, husband.
14:16Keep me company tonight.
14:19I would, but I can't.
14:22Your sister had me swear
14:23that I would no longer visit your tent.
14:26Be patient, ma'am.
14:42Look what Reuben found, sister.
14:48Are those mandrakes?
14:49Yes.
14:50It is said that mandrake roots
14:51when made into a tea
14:53can help those struggling to conceive.
14:55I've heard of such a rare root.
14:59Give it here.
15:00I see.
15:02You're after something.
15:04What will you have in exchange, then?
15:08One night with Jacob.
15:11You want me to trade Jacob
15:13for your sons' mandrakes?
15:15What's one night
15:16for something that could give you
15:17the babe that you've wanted
15:18above all else?
15:25Fine.
15:27One night.
15:33Hello, husband.
15:36Don't be alarmed.
15:40Rachel knows.
15:42She and I made an arrangement.
16:01Sister.
16:03I must speak with you.
16:07Oh, I'm not quite sure
16:09how to say this.
16:13I am with child again.
16:17Again.
16:20And you've won.
16:22Another babe.
16:26My little gamble
16:27with the mandrakes
16:28did not work so well for me.
16:31God favors you indeed.
16:34I'm sorry.
16:35I cannot imagine
16:37the pain
16:37that you must be in.
16:39Please.
16:40Don't pretend
16:40to feel sorry for me.
16:42I know my failures
16:43must be a great joy to you.
16:45They are not.
16:47I have born Jacob
16:49many children.
16:50I am content.
16:52Being a mother
16:52of a large family
16:53is all I've wanted
16:54for a long time.
16:56How wonderful for you.
16:58My dear sister,
17:00I have had quite enough
17:02of this rivalry
17:03over the years.
17:05This child
17:07shall be my last.
17:10Your last?
17:13Really?
17:16Yes, Rachel.
17:19I love you.
17:21Despite everything.
17:25Two sisters,
17:26one heart.
17:27Remember?
17:31I wish to see
17:32your desires
17:33come to fruition too.
17:34I want to see you happy.
17:44Sister,
17:46I don't know
17:47if it's possible
17:48for me to be with child.
17:49We've tried for so long.
17:52Then let me help.
17:55Woman to woman.
17:57I may have given
17:59Jacob his firstborn,
18:01but perhaps
18:01you could give him
18:02his youngest.
18:04A child that would be
18:05just as special
18:06in his own way.
18:17You've always been
18:19self-reliant.
18:20A practical woman.
18:22And you have made
18:23your way so far
18:25on reason
18:26and resilience.
18:27But
18:30sometimes
18:30don't you
18:31feel that
18:34there are things
18:34on this earth
18:35that cannot be explained
18:36by logic alone.
18:38More and more
18:39he says.
18:40We must accept
18:42that not everything
18:43can be within
18:43our control,
18:44sister.
18:47The faith
18:48in something
18:49godly out there,
18:50that's
18:51what gives me hope.
18:55come.
18:57Shall we pray?
19:10dear lord,
19:12I pray for my sister,
19:15that you remember her,
19:18that you open her womb,
19:20giving her what she
19:21and your faithful servant
19:23Jacob have so long
19:24desired.
19:35Now the only thing to wish for
19:37is a healthy and easy pregnancy.
19:49she's looking very pale.
19:51Stay with us.
19:52Stay with us.
19:53The baby's nearly here.
19:55I'll fetch some fresh health.
20:00How is she?
20:01She's doing the best
20:02that she can,
20:03but
20:03Jacob,
20:04our mother died
20:05giving birth to Rachel
20:06and she seems to be
20:07experiencing
20:08similar difficulties.
20:10I can't lose her.
20:11I can't live without her.
20:13I know.
20:15Me neither.
20:17Me neither.
20:21Rachel.
20:28He's a sister.
20:29You did it.
20:31You did it.
20:33Rachel,
20:34Rachel,
20:35no.
20:35Please,
20:36God,
20:37no.
20:38Sister.
20:39Sister.
20:51Oh, thank God, thank God.
21:00My youngest son, Joseph, now this is the happiest day of my life.
21:13Come on, let's go.
21:15Come on.
21:17I can't tell if Father's taking the news well.
21:21It's been a while to prepare himself.
21:23Jacob and I have always planned to leave for Canaan once we're married.
21:26I must say, I am worried.
21:28You're always worried.
21:30But is it safe?
21:31What about Jacob's brother who wanted to kill him?
21:33Has his anger been assuaged?
21:35He could be putting our lives in danger.
21:38Our family's lives in danger.
21:40Leaving our home and everything we've ever known with nothing.
21:44I would never let us leave with nothing.
21:47I told Jacob to negotiate with Father.
21:50I built this family's fortune sheep by sheep and they're deserving of our share.
21:54As for Jacob's family, as you've taught me once, sister, let me now be the one to remind you.
22:01We must have faith.
22:05We've spoken.
22:06And your father has been quite accommodating.
22:10I must say.
22:12It's going to be very hard to part with my beloved daughters.
22:18It's frankly a tragedy.
22:21We've been left at home alone with those two.
22:27He's even been generous enough to offer some of the flock.
22:31Really?
22:31Yes, of course.
22:33I am very well aware that I have only been blessed with good fortune because of you and Jacob.
22:39So I would like you to go to the flock and separate out both the speckled and the spotted sheep
22:45and have them for yourselves.
22:52What kind of father would I be if I did not set my children up for success?
23:00Now, here, look.
23:06What's this?
23:09Take that coin.
23:11Take that coin.
23:15I don't see a single black or speckled sheep.
23:18No, neither do I.
23:21We did as you said, father.
23:23We separated all the spotted sheep.
23:25And hid them away.
23:27Rachel and Jacob will never find them.
23:29Good.
23:30And they won't be taking anything that is right for the hours.
23:33With nothing to their name, I suspect they won't be leaving Haran either.
23:37My father tricked us.
23:39We can't let him win.
23:40We were right to that flock.
23:42I shall go to him and speak true.
23:44That will get us nowhere.
23:45We can't prove anything.
23:47And if we accuse him now, he'll simply come up with another trick.
23:50We must bide our time, regrow the flock, and trick him right back.
23:54But how are we going to rebuild the flock without any black or speckled sheep to breed with?
23:59Besides, it took me nearly 20 years to grow my father's herd.
24:02My love, I will find a way.
24:04I don't know how I am so certain, but I promise you, it will not take another 20 years.
24:11Remember, you taught me everything you know as the best shepherdess in Haran.
24:17Even the best shepherdess isn't capable of miracles.
24:20Trust me.
24:25Trust me.
24:27Trust me.
24:28Trust me.
24:31Trust me.
24:32Trust me.
24:34Trust me.
24:37Trust me.
24:48Trust me.
24:58Joseph, wait.
25:02Come, sister, come.
25:04Jacob, you have bred an entire flock out of thin air, and in only a handful of years.
25:10How?
25:11I took poplar, almond, and plain, stripped back the bark to expose the white underneath,
25:17and then put them in the trough, and set all the white sheep from your father's flock to drink from
25:22it.
25:22And when they would breed, all of the lambs were spotted and speckled.
25:27An unusual methodology, is it not? I'd never heard of it.
25:30It was as if I woke up one morning and just knew.
25:34I believe it was God. He favored us.
25:38You've come a long way from the man who hardly knew how to milk a cow.
25:42Now that we have our own flock, how will we take them with us?
25:46Your father will never allow it.
25:49That is why we cannot tell your father.
25:53We will just sneak away without even saying goodbye.
25:56Yes, sister. We must slip away in the night.
26:17Father, they're gone.
26:19Father, they're gone.
26:21No, who's the take of laying Rachel?
26:23And all of their children, and the entire camp, the whole place is empty.
26:28And they've made off with half of our flock.
26:31All the black and spotted sheep.
26:33Leaving us with a very small and weak herd.
26:35They profited off of us.
26:37They fooled us, took women's hours, right out from under us.
26:40No, they tricked me!
26:45Their own father!
26:48Man, go to town.
26:51Gather up your men.
26:52We will give chase.
26:53I'll take everything back.
26:55By force, if necessary.
26:57Go!
26:57Get your men!
26:58Go!
26:58Go!
26:59Go!
27:02Go!
27:43We've discovered our absence by now and are surely giving chase.
27:47When they catch us, and they will catch us, they'll seize our flocks and send us away empty-handed.
27:52I can't let that happen.
27:54Father is so very attached to the idols, and our brothers want them for themselves.
27:59This will only antagonize them.
28:01That's exactly what I'm counting on.
28:03Just trust me.
28:05We need a contingency plan, and this is it.
28:12And say nothing of this to Jacob.
28:14I can't let that happen.
28:44Jacob, you laugh without saying a word.
28:48You think it's right to take away a man's daughters like captives of the sword in the night?
28:54You are here to take what is rightfully ours.
28:57How can you say this?
28:59You are the one that cheated me.
29:00If you're speaking of our herd, then we have a right to every creature that we've taken.
29:05I don't think your brothers or our men are going to agree with that.
29:09And besides, there is also the matter of the household idols.
29:13You do know, don't you, that it is a sinful offense to take a man's gods from him.
29:19Not to mention their familial significance.
29:21Those idols have always been held by the leader of our family.
29:24I have not taken your precious household gods.
29:27That would be a sin indeed.
29:28Oh, who did it then?
29:30I think you're nothing but a common thief.
29:33Search our belongings yourself.
29:35And if you find anyone here that has stolen your gods,
29:39I swear that they shall not live.
29:42Oh, I will hold you to that promise.
29:54Sister, I can hardly breathe.
29:56I'm going to find the common saddle.
29:58Search the tents!
29:59I want the final found!
30:07This is the last tent in the camp.
30:09It's mine and Rachel's.
30:10You won't find them here.
30:16There's nothing here, Father.
30:19The only place we haven't searched is your persons.
30:24Up.
30:25I'm sorry, Father.
30:28Please don't be angry.
30:29But I cannot rise before you.
30:32The ways of women are upon me.
30:37No, Father.
30:38We cannot touch her during her, um, lunations.
30:42It would be much too unpleasant.
30:44Oh, no matter.
30:46Because we will not be leaving before the idols turn up.
30:50In the meantime, my sons,
30:52round up the livestock.
30:56Come on.
30:56Come on.
30:58Come on.
31:00Uh, brother, why don't I show you where the sheep are?
31:02You'd be hard-pressed to find them.
31:10I'm turning into a fine old morning.
31:14I slept rather well for a man on the road.
31:20Why are you all so glum?
31:24Well, yeah, shouldn't there be some cheer when one is with family?
31:27Perhaps you would have more cheer, sir,
31:29if you had not overstayed your welcome.
31:31Father!
31:32Father!
31:33Yes?
31:34We were rounding up the livestock when Bill fell.
31:36There they were.
31:37The household idols tumbling out of his pocket.
31:39I never, I didn't, I never touched them.
31:42You're trying to set me up to look bad at Father's eyes.
31:45We all know you'd love to be named patriarch of this family
31:48and claim my rightful inheritance.
31:51I have every right to be the patriarch of this family
31:53if Father wishes to bequeath me the idols.
31:55I am the eldest son.
32:02I have every right, brother.
32:05You better run, brother, or you still can.
32:09I'm going to catch you.
32:10Afternoon.
32:13Afternoon, dear.
32:15I got horses.
32:18What did you say earlier, sir?
32:21That you'd be leaving once the idols were found?
32:26You framed our brother.
32:28You were right.
32:30It did antagonize them.
32:32Oh, sister, you saved our lives.
32:41We made the last of our long-anticipated journey
32:44to Jacob's home, to our new lives.
32:48I'd been afraid that family strife might greet us,
32:51that we'd be met with resentment, anger, and swords.
32:56But what we found was reconciliation and forgiveness.
33:00Love with our new family and fresh purpose.
33:04Sister, can you believe it?
33:05Canaan.
33:06It's everything I've imagined.
33:09At last, we were home.
33:21Is that how you prevailed over the angel of the Lord, Father?
33:25It was, Joseph.
33:26We wrestled until the break of day,
33:29when I finally prevailed.
33:31Though it did not come without pain,
33:33the man broke my hip.
33:35But still, I didn't let him go
33:38until he blessed me.
33:40Your father came face to face with God,
33:42who gave him his new name, Israel.
33:48Rachel and I were content in Canaan.
33:50Our sisterhood was strong,
33:52and so was our family.
33:55But Jacob's dream of twelve sons never faded in my mind.
33:59I could not ignore the desire.
34:04And neither could she.
34:09Why do you have landrakes?
34:11Are you trying to have another child?
34:13You are, aren't you?
34:16Leia, I've only ever been able to bear
34:20one child,
34:21when I have always wanted several.
34:24But I was never blessed.
34:26Not like you.
34:28And you're nearly past the ways of women.
34:31If anyone should carry another child, it's me.
34:34Rachel, you nearly died giving birth to Joseph.
34:38You would be risking your life.
34:39You can't do it.
34:40I can, and I shall.
34:43It would be worth the risk.
34:45Then we shall see who bears the twelfth son.
35:16I'm scared.
35:17I'm here.
35:18I'm here.
35:19I'm here.
35:31I'm here.
35:54I'm not going to make it, Emily.
35:56Please, sister.
35:59Please stay with us.
36:02You were right.
36:05You told me it was too dangerous
36:08to have another baby.
36:10Oh, I let my jealousy get the best of me.
36:17It will haunt me forever
36:20if this costs you your life.
36:23I played my part in this, too.
36:27But I look at our beautiful family
36:31and my beautiful son.
36:35And I think it was all worth the sacrifice, wasn't it?
36:43Every tear and every painful moment.
36:48God has a destiny for us all.
36:54I love you.
36:58Two sisters, one heart.
37:17You promised me
37:21you'll raise my son as if you were your own.
37:23I promise.
37:26I promise.
37:33His name is Benjamin.
37:39My youngest and last.
37:42A child of sorrow.
37:45But also strength.
37:51I was much too short.
37:54Is it not, my love?
38:00I could have spent eternity with you.
38:11Rachel said
38:12God has a plan for each of us
38:14and that sometimes
38:16it would be far too great
38:18for us to understand.
38:21She was right.
38:44Benjamin was always ravenous.
38:47You could never feed that boy enough.
38:49I need to remove my aunt
38:50before she tells that awful story again
38:52about how I became violently ill
38:53eating that cursed ghost medicine.
38:57You're supposed to tell stories
38:58that would make me more appealing
38:59to my soon-to-be wife,
39:00not less.
39:02Let me have my fun.
39:07Aunt, do you...
39:09Do you think Mother was watching
39:10over our marrying them?
39:13I'm sure of it.
39:16Nights like these,
39:19I can almost feel her here with us.
39:26I am...
39:27I brought this with me.
39:31It's all I have of her.
39:34That's not true.
39:36You have her eyes.
39:39You have her smile.
39:41But most of all,
39:43you have her courage.
39:46And she would be so proud
39:48of the man that you are today.
39:54Son.
39:57It's time.
40:10You outdid yourself.
40:12Rachel would have loved it.
40:13Would she have?
40:14Or would she have rather
40:16been hiding with the sheep
40:17than dealing with
40:18all of the gossiping wives
40:19and Floral arrangements?
40:23I miss her.
40:25So much.
40:28I do, too.
40:32She would want us
40:33to be joyful tonight.
40:35She would tell us
40:37that this is exactly
40:38as we dreamed.
40:41As God promised.
40:43that our descendants
40:44number as many
40:46as the stars.
40:48Maybe not as many
40:50as the stars.
40:52Not yet.
40:53But one day
40:54they will.
41:12That the stars.
41:14Ah.
41:20Ah.
41:23Ah.
41:24Ah.
41:25Ah.
41:26Ah.
41:27Ah.
41:27Ah.
41:53To be continued...
41:59To be continued...
