All language subtitles for The Faithful s01e04 The Woman Who Risked Everything 2.eng

[Eliezer] This is
your betrothed.

Isaac, son of Abraham.

My purpose is here.

[Rebekah] Isaac,
God spoke to me.

We're to have two sons.

He said the elder
would serve the younger.

You cannot usurp
what is Esau's by birthright.

So says the second-born heir.

Swear to me you will never
mention this to either of them.

It is Jacob who must lead.

You must see to it.

[soft dramatic music]

Have you come to join
the hunt, brother?

Simon, a bow for Jacob.

It is about time you learned
how to use one, brother.

You're supposed to be
at council.

It is not high sun.

See that the kills
are brought back to camp.

Is Father angry?

He would be had I not
made excuses for you.

I do not deserve you,
brother.

Beat me back to camp and I will
confess all my transgressions.

Huh.

And if you win?

[Esau] What else
is there to take?

Hey!

Hyah!

[both] Hyah!

[Esau] Hyah!
Come on, come on!

[Esau] Winner takes all.

[Jacob] Go!

-[Jacob] Come on!
-[Esau] Keep up!

[Esau] Come on now,
brother!

It's an open range.

You cannot claim
what belongs to nature!

Abraham himself
blessed this land

and granted us
grazing rights!

-Your rights died-
-Quiet!

You dare invoke
my father's name?

Do you think this
is what he'd want?

The petty quarrels,
the mistrust?

[Esau] Oh, come on, brother!

Is it the horse
who tires or you?

-[Jacob] It's the horse!
-[Esau laughs]

-Come on!
-Come on!

-Hyah!
-You're too slow, Jacob!

[both] Hyah! Hyah!

In the years since our
communities came together,

I'd hoped we'd have
grown closer.

But our differences seem
only more pronounced.

[Esau] Try and keep up,
brother.

I was hoping for a race!

-[Jacob] Hyah!
-[Esau] Come on!

-Go! Hyah! Hyah!
-[Esau laughs]

Separately, we are weak.

We leave ourselves vulnerable
to those who want what we have.

But as one nation,
we are protected.

We are stronger
and richer in every way,

which leaves us
with a choice.

Will we grow
and prosper together,

be the shepherds
of God's promise,

or will we splinter
and languish alone?

Draw your borders.

And if you cannot find
common ground,

I'll leave you both
with none.

Go.
Choose.

-Of course.
-Yes.

Hyah! Hyah!

Yeah!
[Esau laughs]

I win again, brother!

Please, please,
you must hear me.

The Hittites, they've plugged up
our well with sand.

Our herd won't live
to see the new moon.

You must do something.

[Esau] The Hittites?

They are vile
but not unreasonable.

I have had plenty
of dealings with them.

Father, if you'll allow me.

My son's word carries
the weight of my own.

He will see to it.

Tell me about the hunt.

That buck that eluded me
the last few days?

-[Isaac] Yes?
-[Esau] I found him by the glen.

We'll feast for days, Father.

You fetched him,
didn't you?

It shouldn't be
my responsibility

to remind Esau of his.

Then stop protecting him.

Leave him to his devices.

Let him succeed or fail
on his own.

We know what'll happen.

Then your father
will know as well.

What does it matter?

Esau is the firstborn.
His fate is decided, as is mine.

It matters.

It matters more each day.

[soft dramatic music]

Esau, he's stepping
into the role.

We must support him,
both of us.

Even your father saw it.

-But you...
-[Isaac groans]

-You refuse.
-Not this again.

-I thought we were past this.
-You are past it.

I'm forced to confront it
at every turn.

You have no idea
what it's like

to look at our sons
knowing what I know.

To feel responsible
and helpless at the same time.

Because my husband denies it.

He denies the will of God.

Forgive me, my love.

How am I to respect your wishes
when you ignore mine?

-Where are you going?
-My appetite's left me.

-[horse neighing]
-[Simon] Help!

Someone get help!
It's Esau, he's hurt!

Isaac!

[ominous music]

-[Jacob] Esau!
-[horse neighing]

Esau, what happened?
Help!

[Esau grunting]

Esau, can you hear me?

-[Rebekah] Who did this?
-The Hittites.

I went to talk to them
about the well.

I tried to get them
to listen,

but that was never
their intention.

They mean war.

Then that's what
we should give them.

Isaac, no.

Ready the men.

-Oh, no, no, no.
-[Esau grunts]

Soon as I am able,
we will take the fight to them.

Ah!

All of this over a well?

You saw what
they did to him.

They attacked our family!

They attacked
the covenant itself!

[frogs croaking]

Why are we speaking alone?

I must know your thoughts
about what's to come.

This reeks of a dispute
that got out of hand.

In matters of war,
we have little experience.

We would lose.

Like your brother,
more confidence than we should.

It is not my place
to intervene,

nor is it yours.

[Rebekah] There is something
I must tell you.

Something I swore to
your father I never would.

What is it?

Jacob, when I was pregnant
with you, God spoke to me.

He revealed Himself?

What did He say?

That the covenant
is meant to pass to you,

not your brother.

I don't understand.

Esau is the firstborn.
It's his birthright.

Everyone looks to him
as the heir.

Because your father
refuses to accept it.

He was chosen over
his brother as well.

And it scarred him.

But if God commands it...

Your father's relationship
with Him is complicated.

But he needs to see what I see
when I look upon you,

what God sees.

Then I must prove it to him.

Show him.

I will go to the Hittites
and secure a peace between us.

You'd be risking your life.

For the sake of our people,
I have no other choice.

[dog barking in distance]

[horse snorts]

[ominous music]

Who are you and why do you
trespass on our soil?

I am Jacob,
son of Isaac.

I extend an offer from my father
to put aside our differences.

Whatever wrongs
exist between us,

let us make them right.

To broker peace.

Will you allow me that?

[Esau] You went behind Father's
back and you went behind mine.

-You had no right!
-I did what I had to,

to keep this
from escalating.

He put his own life
in jeopardy,

but you,
you'd risk all of us.

You overstepped,
both of you.

And now we look weak
in the face of the adversary.

Adversary?

You said it yourself,
they are reasonable people.

I've come to
the same conclusion.

I wonder, was it you
that lost your head?

Is that what started
all of it?

That's enough!
Esau!

And Jacob...

the way this was handled...

I have no words.

The Hittites are open
to a resolution.

I'm certain of it.

What was the proposition?

We are to welcome a delegation
to join us for a feast.

You invite the enemy
for dinner?

Food and wine often pave
the road to peace.

This will not end
as you hope.

See to the preparations.

Rebekah.

You put him up to this.

You think I don't see,
but I see everything.

[lively music,
excited chatter]

-[men laughing]
-Yeah!

They've come in numbers.

You were clear this was
a negotiation?

Yes, but their leader

only wanted to speak
to Father directly.

The road to peace
seems more like a river.

Yeah, they're more robust
than expected.

I'll extend an invitation
for formal peace talks

in the morning.

Thank you again for coming.

You're welcome here.
You're all welcome here.

I appreciate
your hospitality.

Please feel free to make
the most of it.

And perhaps, in the morning,
you and I could-

-No, enough!
-[cup shatters]

-What is it?
-I'm not sure.

Enough pleasantries!
We've been here for hours!

Is your son going to do
the right thing or not?

My son?

I think there has been
a misunderstanding.

There's no misunderstanding.

Esau defiles my daughter
and sends his brother

to make amends!

You're a coward!

-He is a liar!
-Stop it, son.

Look at me.

I want you to swear to me
that this is not your doing.

I've never even
seen her before.

You will do right by her
or I will finish

what we started
at the well.

[men shouting]

Enough!
Enough!

[Isaac] Stop this!
Please, stop this!

[ominous music]

It's done.
He'll marry the Hittite girl.

They could have killed you.

I am not the one
who invited them here.

You withheld the truth.

All of this happened because
you cannot control yourself.

Don't just stand there.

Go, apologize
to your betrothed.

[soft dramatic music]

[dogs barking]

[baby crying]

He's hungry.

His cries
all sound the same.

How do you know?

It comes with time.

You'll learn.

[baby cooing and crying]

He needs to eat,
my love.

Ah, so do I.

[growling]

Your father's unwell.

You're to take his place
at council.

I'd had plans to go
and hunt near the river.

[Rebekah] You have
different plans now.

[Jacob sighs]

[sighs]

These Hittites
and their idols.

This is not what my grandfather
would've wanted.

If Esau tolerates them,
so must you.

-So disrespectful!
-You have to listen to me!

It's no business of hers
what happens in my tent.

My children hear them.

They're not even married!

Enough of this nonsense!

Leave!

These idols are
all over the camp.

They don't even try
to hide them anymore.

The Hittites are not
God-fearing people.

Watch where you tread!

You speak of Adah's family
and mine.

This is a place
of civility.

Act like it, both of you.

Yes, little brother.

Do know your place.

That is my place!

-Jacob.
-Go on, tell him!

You shouldn't be out of bed.

No, it is good
that you are here.

Jacob was about to invite me
into a little secret

that both he
and Mother share.

He needed to know.

You defied me.

I said my piece
and you defied me.

As you defy God!

-Isaac.
-[Isaac breathing shakily]

Isaac, speak to me.

I can't-
I can't see.

I can't see!

I can't see.

I have seen this before.

It strikes quickly
and resolves slowly,

if it resolves.

It can render you unable
to speak or to walk...

Or to see.

Yes.

But he'll improve?

It's possible.

But you must plan
as if he won't.

This is our fault.

He has been sick
for some time.

But this...

This feels different.

Will you pray with me?

Lord, may your mercy rest
upon your servant Isaac,

and restore
his body and mind.

May his days
still be numerous.

May your power and grace
heal and sustain him.

May his continued life
bring honor and glory

to your name.

I'm here.
I'm here, my love.

I'm here.
I'm here.

I know.
Come here.

-Is it night?
-It's all right.

-It's morning.
-Oh, no.

It's morning.

It's all right.

There's so many things
I must say to you.

Esau.

I'll send for your sons.

No, no.

Esau.

You can't leave me.

I don't know
what I would do.

We cannot wait.

You must receive
the blessing.

[Esau sighs]

[Jacob] And the Angel of God
came down to Abraham

a second time and said,

"You must leave this land."

[somber music]

Is it the end?

He believes so.

He intends to bless Esau.

He's asked your brother to hunt
and prepare a meal for him.

We must get to him first.

You want me to receive
the blessing in Esau's stead?

Without his sight,
he may not know the difference.

No, if he touches me,
he will know.

Let me worry about that.

Has our conspiring
not caused enough damage?

It's his resistance
that's caused it.

You do believe
God spoke to me?

Yes.
Yes, of course.

Then you must also
accept His word

and act before
it's too late.

What if I bring
upon myself a curse

instead of a blessing?

You let it be my curse.

I love your father
and your brother both.

Do you think I'd suggest such
a thing if I saw another way?

Go to the flock.

Fetch one kid for a stew.

Go.
Hurry.

[dramatic music]

[arrow thuds,
goat cries out]

[bleating]

[music continues]

[children chattering]

Say as little as possible.

Understand?

[music continues]

[Isaac] Who's there?

Esau.

I've done as you asked.

Bring it to me.

[somber music]

Esau.

Let me eat of your game
so that I may bless you.

[Isaac grunts]

Come nearer, my son.

[music continues]

May God give you

of the dew of heaven

and of the fatness
of the land.

May people praise you

and nations
bow down to you.

And blessed be every one
who blesses you.

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

Father.

[Isaac grunts softly]

I've returned.

What?

I've done exactly
as you asked.

Oh!

[Isaac wailing loudly]

[Rebekah sobbing]

[gasps]

Forgive me.

[horse neighing]

Help me understand.

There's but one blessing?

As it was with Abraham
and my father.

Only one can accept
the covenant.

Please, I beg you,
do not act rashly.

I know it was you.

You left me no choice.

If you believe that,
then...

then you, too,
are blind.

Esau is the heir, but now
Jacob holds the covenant.

Neither are whole.

You deceived me.

And you condemned them both.

I don't need your
judgment, daughter.

Had my fill.

Esau and I, our beginning
was not... ideal.

But I love him,
as he does me.

I know it to be true.

Then I must tell you
what he's planning,

because it will only
make things worse for him.

Surely I can reason with him.

You will go to my brother
in Harran and stay with him.

Until when?

Until Esau's fury subsides.

And if it never does?

This is God's will.

[dramatic music]

I love you.

Go.

Go!

[horse snorts]

[music continues]

Oh, please keep him safe.

All those who seek
miracles, fear not!

Your godless champion
has arrived!

You sit in my stead?
Where is Father?

You're late
and you're drunk.

Ah, well,
that would explain it.

Come.
Learn something.

Your grandfather had me in here
when I was your age.

Simon promised
to take us on a hunt.

Did he?

Many wait on you, Esau.

Perhaps it's best to get through
this without distraction.

Fine.

Go.

Are you getting enough rest?

[Esau exhales]
The new baby, he is, uh...

spirited.

You've brought me back
from the dead.

Only you live to resent me.

No.

Perhaps for a while.

Hmm, perhaps for
a long while.

I've been trapped
in this old body so long,

I've had time to think.

And?

What have you arrived at?

I'm as responsible
as you are.

Hmm.

[Rebekah] Standing my ground
is tearing us all apart.

My beloved husband
is fading away.

Jacob is lost to me...

in exile.

I question whether my purpose
is worth the cost.

And Esau...

is weak and diminished.

And this is my doing.

I hate to see you like this.

I do love you.

I hope you know that.

Perhaps part of you does.

No one cares about the weight
of a mother's blessing...

But I give you mine
nonetheless.

May the burdens
be lifted from you...

So that you can be the man
you're meant to be.

For your children,
your wives...

and yourself.

[horse neighing]

[excited background chatter]

What's going on?

A messenger from the road.

He says there's a caravan
on the way here.

-From where?
-Harran.

Oh, it's Jacob.
It's Jacob.

Oh, he's coming home.
He's coming home.

[Rebekah crying]

[tense music]

Your mother's
waiting for you.

She hopes
to quiet your mind.

[music continues]

You have no business
being in here.

Has time not healed
what was broken, Esau?

I have only ever stood
in the way of what he wants.

And now he intends
to take it by force.

You don't know
his intentions.

And you do?

Even if you did,

I cannot trust you
to tell me the truth.

Every morning, I see you
standing on that hill,

waiting for him.

Wishing it was him here
instead of me.

That's not true.

I promise you,
it's not true.

All I've ever wanted was
for us to be a family, Esau-

And that can never happen
because of you!

It is me or him,

and I will not let him destroy
what I have built here.

Is this the life
you wanted?

You know nothing
of what I want!

He is your blood,
and if his return

relieves you, then...

why not welcome it?

Please, Esau.

This is not
what God wants.

No.
No!

It is not what you want!

And that's all
that's ever mattered!

Hasn't it, Mother?

[Rebekah] Please!

[wailing loudly]

Word is he travels
in numbers.

There can only be
one reason.

To take back what
he believes is his.

Then he will pay for his
treachery with his life.

[blade thuds]

[horse neighing]

[music continues]

There are women
and children among them.

A distraction, nothing more.

[horse grunts]

It's been a long time,
brother.

Why are you without weapon?

I'm not here to fight.

I only hope to find favor
in your eyes.

I have dreamt of this day.

Do as you must, brother.

For all that I have done,
it is your right.

[onlookers chattering]

[music continues]

[Esau clears throat]

[gentle music]

Oh!
[Esau chuckles]

It's good to see you,
brother.

[horse neighing]

They say you'll step aside.

Yes.

How do you feel?

Free.

Where are you going?

To hunt.

[ominous music]

[indistinct chatter]

[gentle music]

-Good to see you.
-Great to see you.

I didn't think I would be here
if it ever came to pass.

We're to meet his family,
his children.

God has truly
blessed us this day.

If you'll excuse me,
my love.

I must see about tonight.

Was you, wasn't it?

Don't deny it.
I know what you're capable of.

I needn't explain
myself to you.

If Jacob's intentions
were different,

if he meant Esau harm,

then you would've left
my husband defenseless.

What's right and what's fair
do not always coincide.

No.

You chose one son
over the other.

It was not a choice.

It's what had to be done.

Well, I hope you can live
with yourself.

I'm not sure I could.

[Rebekah] I don't expect
anyone to understand.

But I've done my best
to be your servant.

If I've transgressed,
I hope you'll forgive me.

It's taken so long,
cost so much.

[Rebekah sobbing]

But we arrived here.

Our family is reunited.

You will be the one
to judge me in the end,

but today...

today I have this,
and I shall revel in it.
