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.
05:50Oh, my goodness.
05:56Oh.
06:17Did you hear that?
06:21It's just the wind.
06:23Can we go back to sleep?
06:39Can we go back to sleep?
07:02I'm sorry, did it wake you up?
07:04Oh, it's all right.
07:05Is it his cough?
07:07If you put some mint and some honey on your tea, it should do the trick.
07:11Oh, look, how did you get something?
07:18Abram?
07:22Abram?
07:25Abram?
07:27He spoke to me.
07:30What?
07:31He spoke to me.
07:34Who?
07:35God.
07:37Oh, God?
07:38Oh, God.
07:40Go home.
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.
08:03From your native land and to the land that I will show you.
08:09And you want to do this because of a dream?
08:13It wasn't a dream.
08:15No, I 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.
08:40Please, my love.
08:44You must trust me.
08:48Please, trust me.
08:53I trust you.
08:59If you need me to do this,
09:03I will go with you.
09:13Eliezer, fill 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.
09:23Sarai, I worry for your safety, my daughter.
09:27Take these household 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.
09:49This is not to be.
09:52Oh, shit.
09:57Oh, fuck.
09:58Go vite.
09:59Go, get back.
10:01Oh, shit.
10:03Houston?
10:04Yeah.
10:38We have to find water.
10:42Grass to pasture our flock.
10:45Where?
10:45There's drought across the entire Levant.
10:47Then we head south to Egypt.
10:50No matter the drought, the Nile still flows.
11:18You little ones.
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.
11:46People are hungry. They need bread.
11:48If we offer enough, there must be somewhere to buy grain.
11:54I'll go at once.
11:58But we'll need to make it last.
12:29I'll go at once.
12:29I'll go at once.
12:33I'll go at once.
12:33Hang on! Hang on!
12:39I 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, on your knees, before the living God.
13:20She's not bound.
13:24She's not bound.
13:24Wait, wait.
13:25No!
13:26Please!
13:27Let her go!
13:28No!
13:29Let her go!
13:35Shari! Shari!

14:40what about a god would you deign to bow before if i encountered one
14:52it is all right
14:56she is new to egypt
15:02she does not know
15:10what if you meet a god and you do not recognize him he would recognize me
15:20know what's in my heart my every thought that i meant no offense
15:32since none was meant the nun is taken
15:39i shall not kill her pharaoh will keep her
15:52it's a great honor to have pharaoh take you as a wife
15:56a wife was that your husband tried to stop you from being taken away
16:03no no it was my brother good unless messy that way i'll see to him he's paid a handsome price
16:12hegan
16:14cleaner and dresser for pharaoh tonight consider this slave girl the betrothal gift
16:21it's pharaoh's desire that is wise be happy here

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 field salted
17:17my family were starving

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

19:06You almost look Egyptian.
19:10Almost.
19:14But not so much.
19:19Underneath this
19:20taint and dress,
19:23I 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.
19:52Look around you.
19:56These
19:58mindsets
19:59they go back
20:02centuries.
20:03Who knows?
20:05Maybe one day it will be your countenance
20:07that adores these sacred wars.
20:13Ignore.
20:18Pharaoh
20:19commands
20:21you.
20:29You're firing you.
20:32I like that.
20:34Now take it off.
20:53What is this?
20:55Did you poison me?
20:57You witch!
20:58What magic is this?
20:59What have you done to me?
21:00It's not unfair.
21:07Guards!
21:10Guards!
21:13Guards!
21:14He won't.
21:16Let her go.
21:17She's a witch!
21:20Leave!
21:22Leave and never come back.
21:24Take your slave girl
21:25and see that you both have a return on the bane of death.
21:29Hang on.
21:30Come, come here.
21:33Oh.
21:54Oh, my beloved, you're alive.
22:03Did they hurt you?
22:05Are you harmed?
22:07No.
22:09No.
22:11Was it God?
22:12Did God save you?
22:14I can't explain it.
22:22Who is this?
22:25There you go.
22:26She'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 morning 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, Abram's God did not bring you out of Egypt to not give you a child, but you have
23:46to 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.
24:07Thank you, Hagar.
24:27Thank you, Hagar.
24:41Well, next time.
25:13Thank you, Hagar.
25:43Where are you?
25:45Where are you?
25:48It's all right.
25:50Are you all right?
25:51Everything's fine.
25:52Go back to sleep.
26:30We did what you asked.
26:32And nothing.
26:33My womb stays closed.
26:36It's not a god, are you?
26:39Huh?
26:41Your promises mean nothing.
26:44Say something.
26:50Say something.
26:53Say something to me.
27:07And that's when he saw it.
27:09A dove turning to the ark with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her mouth.
27:15And that's when no one knew the floodwaters were subsiding at last.
27:20Perhaps tomorrow I'll tell you a story of how God saved a certain someone we might know from.
27:25The Pharaoh himself.
27:27Oh, I think it's time for bed.
27:41I think it's time for bed.
27:44The Pharaoh, as if it were one of the sagas.
27:47Who knows?
27:48It might be one day.
27:49Pardon the interruption.
27:52Peter and I have something to ask.
27:54Sir Leela and I hope to marry.
27:56And with your blessing, start a family.
27:59Yes, of course.
28:00Give you my blessing with joy.
28:03And may God grant you many, many children.
28:17Remember when that was us?
28:19I 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.
28:46He's good and born of our household.
28:51He's loyal.
28:56We'll talk about it in the morning.
29:05We'll talk about it in the morning.
29:39Abram?
29:44What happened here?
29:46We made a covenant here now.
29:48A covenant?
29:50Sealed in blood.
29:52He spoke to me, Sarai.
29:55After so many years of silence, he spoke to me again.
29:59What did he say?
30:01That I would have descendants like stars in the sky.
30:06Not of Eliezer, but of my own flesh.
30:09He promised me a son.
30:12A son of your own flesh?
30:14That's what he said, yes.
30:16And of mine also?
30:19Did he say that, Abram?
30:21Why would he need to?
30:24Who else would it be?
30:26You are my wife.
30:28And no other.
30:33A son of his own flesh.
30:36That's what God told him.
30:38His, not mine.
30:41Kind of a cruel God.
30:43Tries to make me think that a woman my age could have a child.
30:48What if he can't?
30:50You're blessed.
30:52You have a loving husband.
30:53A community.
30:55I know.
30:58Do you want to be a mother one day?
31:00Of course.
31:01Of course.
31:02How could that happen?
31:04I'm an Egyptian slave.
31:06Who would marry me?
31:10Hagar.
31:13What if meeting in Farrah's palace wasn't an accident?
31:17What if we were brought together for a purpose?
31:22I think there is a child.
31:24It's not of my womb.
31:27But the son that Abram sees is his and maybe yours.
31:38You want me to lie with Abram?
31:42I want you to have a child on my behalf.
31:44And in return, I will help you get back home to your family.
31:48The pharaoh who banished us from Egypt no longer rules.
31:51Oh.
31:53With my family again?
31:54It's what you've always wanted.
31:55It's what I've always wanted.
31:58And you can marry.
32:00You can have children of your own.
32:10Yes.
32:13Yes, I'll do this thing you ask.
32:16You have given me so much.
32:18I will help.
32:20Give you the child that you've been promised.
32:31It's all here.
32:33You bear the child on my knee, and then by law, he's mine.
32:36And after that?
32:38Home.
32:41Once we make our mark, there's no turning back.
33:01Every month on the quarter moon.
33:03Since I was a girl.
33:04Well, then, tonight it is.
33:07Well, then, tonight it is.
33:07Shall I?
33:14So pretty.
33:20Oh.
33:23Oh.
33:30Good wine.
33:31It's from Kith.
33:33Expensive wine.
33:37Well.
33:40It's a special night.
33:43How so?
33:45Go to ensure your bloodline.
33:50Lie with Hagar, Abram, so that we might have a child by her.
33:56Sarai.
33:57Abram.
33:57God told you that we would have a family.
34:02Yes.
34:04You and I.
34:05We will have a family.
34:07But only by Hagar.
34:12Abram, please.
34:19Yes.
34:20Yes.
34:20Yes.
34:21Yes.
34:21Yes.
34:22Yes.
34:23Yes.
34:23Yes.
34:24Yes.
34:25Yes.
34:25Yes.
34:26Yes.
34:27I have loved only one my whole life.
34:40Hagar?
35:06That's the only way.
35:55Oh, I was just
35:56getting these ready for you.
35:58Sorry, I was going to do it myself.
36:00Well, the sooner we know,
36:03the sooner I can go home.
36:04Oh, I was going to do it myself.
36:34You could have protested a little more.
36:40If you have had a changed heart.
36:43No.
36:45No.
36:48Please lie with her until she is with a child.
36:53But remember, husband.
36:57She's a woman with a woman's heart.
37:28You're very beautiful.
37:31So, I don't know why I haven't noticed that until now.
37:43You tell me about them, your family.
37:51I have two younger brothers, Han and Creel.
37:57Han and Creel.
37:59What are they like?
38:03And I can't wait to see them.
38:05I can't wait to see them.
38:41A boy.
38:43The sun.
