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