Transcript

00:00:09Our names were whispered through time, from generation to generation.

00:00:22I was an Egyptian slave, but she changed all that.

00:00:39The woman who bowed to no one.

00:00:44I was in search of freedom.

00:00:47She was in search of faith.

00:00:50Our lives were to become one.

00:00:56The story started long ago, in a marketplace in Haram.

00:01:17Blue, there's the sea itself.

00:01:20I've never even seen the sea.

00:01:22Uh-huh.

00:01:27How much is it?

00:01:29For you, ten shekels.

00:01:34Perhaps another day.

00:01:37It suits you.

00:01:39You think so?

00:01:40Very much so.

00:01:42Sarai! Sarai! I've been looking for you everywhere!

00:01:45What's wrong, mother?

00:01:46I'll be in the Garibald. He's making you father on offer.

00:01:51A dozen prime ewes for your daughter's hand. What say you?

00:01:56It's an acceptable bride price, I suppose.

00:01:59What say you, Sarai? Do you consent?

00:02:02What need have you for a wife, Abim?

00:02:05Don't you already have one?

00:02:07What other?

00:02:08She gave me three sons.

00:02:10I want more.

00:02:11Well, I ask again.

00:02:13Do you consent?

00:02:16To marrying a man I hardly know.

00:02:19Much less admire.

00:02:21I think not.

00:02:23Sarai.

00:02:27It seems that your daughter has what some would call a spirited nature.

00:02:32She's long been that way.

00:02:34Apologize, Sarai.

00:02:35No.

00:02:35Bow to your betrothed and accept his forgiveness.

00:02:43I bow to no man.

00:02:48Well, now that I've had a look at you up close,

00:02:52you're not worth a dozen prime ewes to begin with.

00:02:55Hey!

00:02:56You heard the lady. Move on.

00:02:58This has nothing to do with you, boy.

00:03:01Shame.

00:03:03You have more beauty than sense.

00:03:10Look what you've gone and done.

00:03:12No man will marry you now.

00:03:26Are you all right?

00:03:30Are you?

00:03:39Listen, Sarai, I...

00:03:43I haven't a dozen sheep to my name or anything even close, but...

00:03:48I'd be proud to be your husband.

00:03:52Abram.

00:03:53Not someone to bow to,

00:03:55but to stand shoulder to shoulder with,

00:03:57no matter what life might bring.

00:04:00Finally.

00:04:02I thought you might not ever ask.

00:04:06Will you have me, Sarai?

00:04:13I'll stand with you, Abram.

00:04:16And be your wife.

00:04:20Until the day I die.

00:04:23May it bring children.

00:04:25Many, many children.

00:04:27Never mind.

00:04:37Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:04:42I can't.

00:04:44But not only.

00:04:46I don't know.

00:04:49But not only.

00:04:50I don't know if I'm here.

00:04:53She's up to it.

00:04:56Get out to it.

00:04:56I don't know.

00:04:59Abram

00:05:07You remembered

00:05:09Of course

00:05:10A picnic

00:05:1625 years

00:05:18I remember too

00:05:19I just finished

00:05:27It's beautiful

00:05:28I love it

00:05:30Your favourite colour

00:05:38It's alright

00:05:41Did you ever think about

00:05:42Taking another wife

00:05:43Well that's quite the question

00:05:44To ask your husband on our anniversary day

00:05:46Most men in your position would have

00:05:48Most men are not married to a woman like you

00:05:53You are my wife

00:05:56And no other

00:05:58I failed you

00:06:01No

00:06:01Your bloodline ends with me

00:06:05When we die

00:06:06Your name dies with us

00:06:07Stop this

00:06:09Tell me the truth

00:06:10My husband

00:06:13Here and now

00:06:17Would you still have married me

00:06:20If you'd known

00:06:20I couldn't give you children

00:06:23Shoulder to shoulder

00:06:24No matter what life might bring

00:06:28Remember when I said that

00:06:32Like it was yesterday

00:06:42Who's at that

00:06:55Who's at that

00:07:02Who's at Yang

00:07:08Did you hear that?

00:07:12It's just the wind.

00:07:14Can we go back to sleep?

00:07:35No!

00:07:50No!

00:07:51No!

00:07:54No!

00:07:56No!

00:07:56I'm sorry!

00:07:57Did you wake up?

00:07:58Oh, I'm tired.

00:07:59I need to just cough.

00:08:01If you put some mint and some honey on your tea,

00:08:04we should do the trick.

00:08:09How did you get so big?

00:08:14Abram?

00:08:17Abram?

00:08:21Abram?

00:08:22He spoke to me.

00:08:26What?

00:08:27He spoke to me.

00:08:30Who?

00:08:31God.

00:08:33God?

00:08:34What God?

00:08:36God.

00:08:40What does he look like?

00:08:42Does he have a name?

00:08:44He did not say.

00:08:45I didn't see him.

00:08:48So, it was just a voice then?

00:08:50A voice.

00:08:53He said to me...

00:08:54His presence...

00:08:56Describe me.

00:08:58Go forth, he said.

00:09:00From your native land into the land that I will show you.

00:09:06And...

00:09:07you want...

00:09:09to do this because of a dream?

00:09:12It wasn't a dream.

00:09:13No, I am as certain that that is my love for you.

00:09:17He said he would make a great nation of me.

00:09:21Children, Sarai, he's going to give us children.

00:09:25Those were his words.

00:09:27Those were his words to you, Labrador.

00:09:30Yes, and I have to go.

00:09:33I must follow where God leads me.

00:09:36But I can't do this without you.

00:09:40Please, my love.

00:09:44You must trust me.

00:09:48Please trust me.

00:09:53I trust you.

00:10:00If you need me to do this,

00:10:05I will go with you.

00:10:14Eliezer, fill these as well.

00:10:18We must bring as much water as we can carry.

00:10:20I'll make sure there's enough for all the silence.

00:10:26Sarai, I worry for your safety, my daughter.

00:10:29Take these household idols to protect you on your travels.

00:10:35Abram will protect me.

00:10:44Till we meet again, darling.

00:10:49I fear that's not to be.

00:10:53Not in this light.

00:10:54All right.

00:10:56No.

00:10:57Oh, my God.

00:11:46We have to find water.

00:11:49Grass to pasture our flock.

00:11:52Where? There's drought across the entire Levant.

00:11:55Then we head south, to Egypt.

00:11:58No matter the drought, the Nile still flows.

00:12:22Diva.

00:12:28You're the little ones.

00:12:47You've been starving, Adam.

00:12:49Did your God not warn you of all this suffering?

00:12:53We have water now.

00:12:54Food will come.

00:12:56Well, it best come soon.

00:12:57People are hungry, they need bread.

00:13:00If we offer enough, there must be somewhere to buy grain.

00:13:06I'll go at once.

00:13:10But we'll need to make it last.

00:13:17Go on, Philip.

00:13:18Fill it to the car.

00:13:25Go on, Philip.

00:13:55And I said, get down.

00:24:46had witnessed a power that could make a Pharaoh cower in pain I couldn't run

00:24:53away but I chose to follow her into the unknown wherever it would lead

00:25:11the place to start family

00:25:23you need to start saving your first morning blood saving it for what to soak these in if it's a

00:25:32boy

00:25:32the barley will sprout and if it's a girl the wheat oh hey girl Abram's God did not bring you

00:25:37out of Egypt to not give you a child but you have to do your part and so does he

00:27:53Everything's fine. Go back to sleep.

00:28:18Here we go.

00:28:35We did what you asked!

00:28:37And nothing!

00:28:38My womb stays closed!

00:28:42What's not a god are you?

00:28:45Ah?

00:28:45Your promises mean nothing!

00:28:50Say something!

00:28:56Say something!

00:29:00Say something to me!

00:29:12And that's when he saw it.

00:29:15A dove turned into the ark with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her mouth.

00:29:21That's when no one knew the floodwaters were subsiding at last.

00:29:26Perhaps tomorrow I'll tell you a story of how God saved a certain someone we might know from.

00:29:31A pharaoh himself.

00:29:34I think it's time for bed.

00:29:36Oh, I think it's time for her.

00:29:53What?

00:29:54You're so true.

00:29:56I don't know.

00:29:56It's time for you.

00:29:58It's time for you.

00:29:59and Peter and I have something to ask.

00:30:03Celina and I hope to marry,

00:30:04and with your blessing, start a family.

00:30:08Yes, of course.

00:30:09Give you my blessing with joy.

00:30:12And may God grant you many, many children.

00:30:27You remember when that was us?

00:30:29I remember.

00:30:30Oh, Abram.

00:30:32Maybe it's time.

00:30:35It's time for us to accept that it's never going to happen,

00:30:39and for us to name an heir.

00:30:44God promised us a child.

00:30:46I am past the ways of women now.

00:30:49Can we please stop pretending otherwise?

00:30:56I was thinking, Eliezer,

00:30:58he's good and born of our household.

00:31:03He's loyal.

00:31:09We'll talk about it in the morning.

00:31:11I was thinking, Eliezer.

00:31:40I was thinking, Eliezer,

00:31:55Abram?

00:32:00What happened here?

00:32:02We made a covenant here now.

00:32:04A covenant?

00:32:06Sealed in blood.

00:32:08He spoke to me, Sarai.

00:32:11After so many years of silence, he spoke to me again.

00:32:15What did he say?

00:32:18That I would have descendants like stars in the sky.

00:32:23Not of Eliezer, but of my own flesh.

00:32:26He promised me a son.

00:32:29A son of your own flesh?

00:32:31That's what he said, yes.

00:32:34And of mine also?

00:32:37Did he say that, Abram?

00:32:39Why would he need to?

00:32:42Who else would it be?

00:32:44You are my wife.

00:32:46And no other.

00:32:52A son of his own flesh.

00:32:55That's what God told him.

00:32:57His, not mine.

00:33:01Kind of cruel God tries to make me think that a woman my age could have a child.

00:33:08What if he can't?

00:33:10You're blessed.

00:33:12You have a loving husband.

00:33:13A community.

00:33:15I know.

00:33:18Do you want to be a mother one day?

00:33:21Of course.

00:33:23How could that happen?

00:33:25I'm an Egyptian slave.

00:33:26Who would marry me?

00:33:31Hagar.

00:33:35What if meeting in Pharaoh's palace wasn't an accident?

00:33:39What if we were brought together for a purpose?

00:33:44I think there is a child.

00:33:46It's not of my womb.

00:33:49But the son that Abram sees is his and maybe yours.

00:34:01You want me to lie with Abram?

00:34:05I want you to have a child on my behalf.

00:34:08And in return, I will help you get back home to your family.

00:34:12The Pharaoh who banished us from Egypt no longer rules.

00:34:17With my family again.

00:34:18That's what you've always wanted.

00:34:19That's what I've always wanted.

00:34:22And you can marry.

00:34:24You can have children of your own.

00:34:35Yes.

00:34:38Yes, I'll do this thing you ask.

00:34:41You have given me so much.

00:34:44I will help.

00:34:45Give you the child that you've been promised.

00:34:55It's all here.

00:34:57You bear the child on my knee, and then by law, he's mine.

00:35:01And after that?

00:35:03Home.

00:35:05Once we make our mark, there's no turning back.

00:35:27Every month on the quarter moon.

00:35:29Since I was a girl.

00:35:31Well, that's not as it is.

00:35:34So.

00:35:41So pretty.

00:35:48Home.

00:35:51Oh.

00:35:57Ooh, good wine.

00:35:59It's from Kith.

00:36:01Expensive wine.

00:36:05Well.

00:36:08It's a special night.

00:36:11Hmm?

00:36:12How so?

00:36:14Okay, to ensure your bloodline.

00:36:20Lie with Hagar, Abram.

00:36:22So that we might have a child by her.

00:36:25That's right.

00:36:26Abram.

00:36:27God told you that we would have a family.

00:36:32Gross.

00:36:34You and I.

00:36:36We will have a family.

00:36:38But only by Hagar.

00:36:42Abram, please.

00:36:59I have loved only one my whole life.

00:37:12Hagar?

00:37:24I don't know.

00:37:52I don't know.

00:38:32Oh, I was just getting these ready for you.

00:38:35Sorry, I was going to do it myself.

00:38:37Oh, well, the sooner we know, the sooner I can go home.

00:38:42Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:39:01Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:39:13I only did what you asked.

00:39:14You could have protested a little more.

00:39:23Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:39:45Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:40:15I don't know why I haven't noticed that till now.

00:40:16Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:40:49Oh, well, I can't wait to see them.

00:40:50Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:41:04Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:41:29Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:41:37Oh, well, the sooner I can go home.

00:41:49I missed having you in our bed, husband.

00:41:53I missed you too, my beloved.

00:42:07What's it? I felt him.

00:42:10Are you alive?

00:42:12Yeah.

00:42:17I felt him kicking.

00:42:26I thought on the small side for how far along she is, but nothing to worry about.

00:42:35Small? That's what I said to Abram. Is she not eating enough?

00:42:38Seems fine to me.

00:42:40Could it be what she's eating? She puts a lot of Egyptian spices in everything.

00:42:44And she keeps trying to feed me gall pestle to make the baby's eyes light like hers.

00:42:48No, that's not why. It's because I want his bones to be strong.

00:42:51How small is a tad small?

00:42:52She just said not to worry about it, so why don't we not?

00:42:57It's easy for her to say. She's leaving for Egypt as soon as the baby's born.

00:43:08What do you think of the name Sherrod?

00:43:14Kenan?

00:43:17Seth?

00:43:19I like Benjamin.

00:43:21And Kenan.

00:43:24An effort.

00:43:27Come so to kiss this child.

00:43:33I will not let thee kiss.

00:43:36Come so to suit him.

00:43:42I will not let thee see you.

00:43:46Come so to hold him.

00:43:55And my mother used to sing me that when I was a little girl.

00:44:01Always used to make me feel safe.

00:44:09I will not do the same for you.

00:44:13Come so to meet you.

00:44:18Come so to meet you.

00:44:20Come so to meet you.

00:44:23Sarai, I need to speak with you.

00:44:31I want to keep the baby.

00:44:36We have an agreement.

00:44:39You can't just change your mind.

00:44:41I know.

00:44:41And I'm sorry.

00:44:42I know what I made my mark to.

00:44:44I just didn't know I was going to feel this way when I made it.

00:44:46But what about going home to your family?

00:44:49I want to.

00:44:51Of course I do.

00:44:51But not if it means leaving my baby behind.

00:44:56It's not your baby.

00:45:01I should have known you wouldn't understand.

00:45:03Don't.

00:45:05Don't you dare make me feel less than you because I can't bear this child myself.

00:45:09What is happening?

00:45:10What's the matter?

00:45:10You are going back to Egypt.

00:45:11If you knew what this felt like, then you'd understand.

00:45:13But you can't and you never will.

00:45:15Do you see how she disrespects me?

00:45:17Do you see how she looks on me with contempt?

00:45:19You can't just take this baby and pretend that I had nothing to do with it.

00:45:22I knew I shouldn't have gone along with this.

00:45:24I should have had more faith.

00:45:25Oh, you want to make this about faith?

00:45:27Fine.

00:45:28May your God decide between us then.

00:45:42Your maid is within your power.

00:45:44Do with her if you see fit.

00:45:54You are never to bring this matter up again.

00:45:57When the time is right, you will bear my son on my knee.

00:46:02And then you will go home to your family as we agreed.

00:46:07Am I clear?

00:46:10Yes.

00:46:28Everything I'd ever known had changed since this child in my womb.

00:46:36My freedom was no longer the most important thing.

00:46:55I broke her pledge.

00:46:58I broke her heart.

00:47:00I broke her heart.

00:47:36She took the white cold.

00:47:37You two go south along the river.

00:47:39Yes, brother.

00:47:41You two go east to the Goshen Road.

00:47:44With the night longhead's tired, is there even a chance we'll catch her?

00:47:47We must try.

00:47:48Go.

00:47:48We need to reach her before she gets to the Negev.

00:47:51Or the desert will swallow her tracks.

00:47:52Abra, what's happened?

00:47:55Let's go.

00:47:59We've been searching for hours.

00:48:01She could be anywhere.

00:48:04I know you blame me.

00:48:06There's no way you could have known she'd do something like this.

00:48:08For asking you to lie with her in the first place.

00:48:12Should have had more faith.

00:48:17I wanted to give you a son.

00:48:18I know.

00:48:22Well, now he's gone.

00:48:24I know.

00:48:25Well, now he's gone.

00:48:46I always told my son.

00:48:49Egypt.

00:48:56Hey, God.

00:49:11Hagar

00:49:17Maid of Sarai

00:49:20Who are you?

00:49:22How do you know my name?

00:49:24Where have you come from?

00:49:26And where are you going?

00:49:32I'm running away from my mistress, Sarai

00:49:35The Lord had taken heed of your affliction

00:49:44Have I really just seen God and remained alive after seeing Him?

00:49:50You have conceived and will bear a son

00:49:54You shall call His name Ishmael

00:49:58I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted

00:50:06What must I do for these things to come to pass?

00:50:10You know what you must do

00:50:24Sarai

00:50:25Sarai

00:50:26Sarai

00:50:33My God

00:50:49You're safe

00:50:51Are you well?

00:50:53Yes

00:50:53And a baby?

00:50:54He's fine

00:50:56We both are

00:51:00You came back

00:51:04I was almost at the border near shore

00:51:07When He appeared to me

00:51:10Who appeared to you?

00:51:15An angel of God

00:51:18He knew my name

00:51:20What did He say to you?

00:51:23Many things

00:51:24Many wondrous things about the child in my womb

00:51:27But He said He said they would only come to pass if I returned

00:51:32And He told me to come back

00:51:35Return your son

00:51:37And submit myself to you

00:51:41So here I am

00:52:01There you go

01:15:38I love you.

01:15:40Will you bring my box from over there?

01:15:58I have to tell you the truth.

01:16:01Open it.

01:16:09Oh, a pledge.

01:16:12There you go.

01:16:13You kept it.

01:16:17Was I who left it in your town?

01:16:21I wanted Israel to find it.

01:16:24You?

01:16:27It was you who left it there.

01:16:31Not Hagar.

01:16:36I knew he would never leave.

01:16:38He loved you too much.

01:16:42So I gave him someone to hate.

01:16:46Me.

01:16:48You know how much I loved that boy.

01:16:51If he had stayed.

01:16:54He would have lived his whole life in the shadow of his brother.

01:17:00I had to let him go.

01:17:02I had to let him go.

01:17:04So I could find his destiny that we found ours.

01:17:09You have held on to this secret all these years.

01:17:13I had to.

01:17:17I couldn't have done what you did.

01:17:23But then again, you were always the stronger one.

01:17:36He would embrace me without malice, Sissy, will you?

01:17:43I'll wait for you there.

01:17:45I'll wait for you.

01:17:46I'll wait for you.

01:18:01See you later.

01:18:03I'll wait for you.

01:18:07I'll wait for you.

01:18:14Sarah's journey was the hardest of all. She had to make the decisions that

01:18:20affected all of our lives. She kept the secrets and carried the burden. That was

01:18:29no easy task. She found her trust and faith and peace. She came to symbolize

01:18:39motherhood. She was the first of the great matriarchs. She was my friend.

01:18:59We're here to bury our dead. Who stands in our way?

01:19:17Hey, God. You came.

01:19:23Isaac, do you remember me?

01:19:27I do.

01:19:31How is my brother Ishmael?

01:19:33He is well. He's attending to his family, and he is admired by all who surround him.

01:19:40That gives me so much peace.

01:19:44Isaac, have you taken a wife?

01:19:48Not yet. My mother always wanted me to marry a girl from Haran.

01:19:58Come. Let us bury your beautiful wife.

01:20:01Come.

01:20:15Come.

01:20:16Come.

01:20:20I don't know.

01:20:54I don't know.

01:21:16I don't know.

01:21:18So that someday I might see my home again.

01:21:25Because of you, I did.

01:21:30I got my freedom and my son.

01:21:42Godspeed, old friend.

01:21:46There won't soon be another like you.

01:21:50I don't know.

01:21:54I don't know.

01:22:09I don't know.

01:22:24I don't know.

01:22:27I don't know.

01:22:29I don't know.

01:22:32I don't know.

01:22:34I don't know.

01:22:37I don't know.

01:22:47I don't know.

01:22:50I don't know.

01:22:53I don't know.

01:22:54I don't know.

01:22:57I don't know.

01:22:59I don't know.

01:23:00I don't know.

01:23:01I don't know.

01:23:02I don't know.

01:23:04I don't know.

01:23:05I don't know.

01:23:18I don't know.

01:23:20I don't know what lies beyond the mountains of Haran.

01:23:22Next Sunday.

01:23:23Abram will send me to Haran to find a wife.

01:23:25I have a son.

01:23:26Isaac.

01:23:27What does your heart tell you?

01:23:29I'll go with him.

01:23:30The saga continues.

01:23:32My purpose is you.

01:23:33With the next legendary matriarch, Rebecca.

01:23:36Godspeed.

01:23:37We're to have two sons.

01:23:39And the beholder would serve the younger.

01:23:41You cannot usurp what his east was by birthright.

01:23:43The future of your nation is at stake.

01:23:46Swear to me, you will never mention this to Eidleton.

01:23:48It is Jacob who was me.

01:23:51There is something I must tell you.

01:23:53You defied me.

01:23:55As you defy God.

01:23:58Forgive me.

01:24:00The faithful continues next Sunday on Fox.

01:24:03A brutal challenge leaves one family.
