00:00.
00:30The high priest wants to talk to you.
00:40What is the verdict, high priest?
00:43Morabi didn't give you any hint.
00:48The recipe was good, wasn't it?
00:55Anxiety is never a good sign.
00:57That makes Nana very irritated.
01:01Would the high priest like me to finish the job?
01:06Yes, absolutely.
01:27Prepare yourself to eat the best gochis in all of Mesopotamia.
01:54Apparently, Ur's temple has a new animal buyer.
02:06Now that you will be our supplier, I prefer you live closer to the temple.
02:11We've already provided you a home in Ur.
02:14I believe it will serve you very well.
02:16I am very grateful to you, high priest.
02:18We must thank Nana.
02:21From this point forward, part of the production of this wonderful cheese will be for our great god.
02:28With Nana happy, we, all of us, will prosper.
02:32Tarah?
02:45Congratulations, you did it.
02:47I asked so much.
02:49So much to the gods for your life.
02:52And apparently I was hurt.
02:56Why'd you discard Ereshkigal?
03:01Did you do the same with the divinity I gave you as a gift?
03:04Not out of disrespect or ill.
03:06I did it to appease Amat.
03:09You mean you are the type of man who likes to please a woman?
03:13So keep this amulet for me.
03:17It's for your protection.
03:19I made it myself.
03:20I am grateful, but I cannot accept.
03:25Because of your wife?
03:26Because I am not a believer.
03:30I do admire your sincerity.
03:34That's why I hope one day to have you as a husband.
03:50Enzo, your expression isn't good.
04:10Was the cheese...
04:11No.
04:11All went well.
04:13They approved the cheese.
04:14And I got permission to buy animals for the temple flock.
04:17Oh, my love.
04:21Now our life is going to change.
04:23I'll be able to give you all you ever wanted.
04:26But you are all I've ever wanted.
04:31The priest wants us to move inside the walls.
04:35I did it, Amat.
04:38It couldn't be otherwise.
04:41I'm happy for you, my love.
04:47You don't say, Lily.
05:01Uh-huh.
05:02And as far as I could tell,
05:03the priestess seemed very interested in the foreigner.
05:08Maybe she doesn't even want to marry the king after all.
05:11What woman would trade the king for some common man, Lilith?
05:15An ordinary man.
05:16From what I've heard,
05:18he doesn't seem to be all that ordinary.
05:23In any case, he'll never be a king.
05:28However,
05:30youth is often impulsive and not always reasonable.
05:34Lilith, if Natty is really in love with this Terra
05:39and doesn't want the king,
05:41instead of an enemy she can be,
05:42she can be my ally.
05:44And it wouldn't be bad at all
05:48to have a priestess on my side,
05:50especially with a kiddo approaching me.
05:53And so,
06:03what was the result then?
06:05The temple has a new animal buyer for the flock.
06:11Disgraceful.
06:12Maintain your calm.
06:21Things will not be resolved in that manner.
06:26Have you learned what happened to your men?
06:28Hamu and his two fools can't be found anywhere.
06:31They've vanished.
06:32Could Terah have killed all three?
06:40Abisali has sent his men to find us.
06:44It was expected.
06:45Up to now, we've been able to hide,
06:49but for how long?
06:50If Abisali finds us, what will we do?
06:53There are two options.
06:57You can tell Abisali that now you work for me.
07:01Really? Just like that?
07:02The other option is even better.
07:07You can appear before Abisali
07:09and invent an excuse for not having impeded me.
07:12And why would we do that?
07:15Abisali won't stop trying his sabotage.
07:18It would be good for him to think you still work for him, you know.
07:21And from there,
07:24I can uncover what he's planning against you.
07:28Exactly.
07:30We'd always be one step ahead of him.
07:34What do you think?
07:43Lamasi, my friend.
07:44I know I have a debt with you.
07:45It's the time to look forward to Rad.
07:47Forget the past.
07:48Never.
07:49If it weren't for you, those men would have killed me.
07:53You have a friend in me always.
07:56But not just any friend, though,
07:57because now I'm a friend who arranges animals for the temple.
08:02Thank you, Tura.
08:04I'm sure that you'll do very well.
08:07Come on.
08:19This world is very unfair.
08:38The other rejects the deities and is still unpunished.
08:42As if that weren't enough,
08:44she is still awarded and will live in the city.
08:46Why did you just say the deities?
08:50Were there more than one?
08:52I said?
08:54You must have heard right.
08:55I did not.
08:56You said the deities.
08:58I'm certain of that.
08:59Who cares, Danina?
09:01I misspoke.
09:02If she hit one, she can hide several.
09:05She's just like that.
09:07She doesn't fool me.
09:13Starting now, your life will change considerably.
09:17That I know.
09:18I've prepared so much for this moment.
09:20Life inside these walls is more secure,
09:23but at the same time requires more compromise.
09:28I'll be a faithful servant to King Ibisin
09:30and the high priest as well.
09:32That isn't enough.
09:33You also must adore Nana
09:35and all of our gods.
09:40Without doubt.
09:41Earth is the best place in the world to live.
09:45I'm certain I'll be very happy here.
09:48What you want is not always so good.
09:53But who wants to think about tomorrow
09:55if today looks so good?
10:18It is proven, my great king.
10:29The cheese made with the recipe provided by Tarah
10:32is indeed priceless.
10:35Identical to the costly delicacy
10:37that we obtained from Nordic.
10:39Excellent news, Kasari.
10:42The shepherd really managed to fulfill his mission.
10:44Oh, there's no doubt about that.
10:46At last, we can produce that very rare cheese
10:49whenever we want.
10:51The best in Mesopotamia.
10:53Really?
10:54Let the queen taste the cheese.
10:56She doesn't seem to believe in your word, high priest.
10:59The king should try it first.
11:09Only after you.
11:10Sincerely, mmm.
11:19It's delicious.
11:35The foreigner succeeded.
11:37He must be a man blessed by the gods.
11:40Is it not to your pleasure?
11:42No, to the contrary.
11:43It's perfect.
11:44I imagine the joy your niece must have, high priest.
11:49Nadi?
11:50Yes.
11:51She has a liking towards the peasant.
11:54Or am I wrong?
11:57Tarah had saved her life.
11:59I am also grateful of that.
12:00No, I don't condemn it.
12:02I don't condemn it.
12:03This Tarah has proved with each passing day
12:05that he's not a mere shepherd.
12:10He's so much more than that.
12:12He is being appropriately compensated, my great queen.
12:16Changing the subject.
12:18The feast of Akitu grows closer.
12:20Has the priestess who will participate in the ritual
12:22been chosen yet?
12:23A good question.
12:26I know that I shouldn't, but...
12:28I confess that I'm curious.
12:32We still don't know which one will submit to the sacred marriage.
12:37I'm awaiting a sign from the gods.
12:39And so, do you like the house?
12:54For one who lived in a tent, it's a wonderful start.
12:58Don't you think I might...
12:59You are relatively close to the temple
13:01and next to the street with commerce.
13:04It's a wonderful location.
13:06Ah, this is Lafa.
13:08She will be your servant.
13:10These are fresh.
13:12I hope that my masters like them.
13:14I so enjoy figs.
13:16Thank you, Iafa.
13:17That's very kind of you.
13:19I think my work here is done for today.
13:23Tomorrow, the high priest expects you early at the palace
13:27for a meeting with the king and all the other nobles.
13:31Of course.
13:32Thank you, priest Enkiru.
13:38See that?
13:49You'll no longer be alone when I travel.
13:52But I'm never alone.
13:54Did you forget that God is always with us?
13:57Yes, I know.
13:59I see how much you must have been praying for me, my love.
14:02We will be very happy here.
14:11Our son will grow up very comfortably.
14:13You will see.
14:15Did you have to?
14:35Hmm?
14:36To disturb the high priest in that manner.
14:39Did I utter some lie, Ebisu?
14:40Mm-hmm.
14:42Saying the foreigner has been blessed by the gods.
14:44But it's the only way.
14:46Ebisu, just look what he's done so far.
14:48He saved Nadi from the desert robbers,
14:51which not even the trained soldiers managed to do.
14:53And then, alone, he acquired the goats from Nordic.
14:57And the cheese recipe.
15:00Don't provoke me, Amlila.
15:03I'm warning you.
15:05You just don't want to see.
15:07The man sets foot in Ur,
15:09and he's already one of the most talked about movies.
15:11Enough!
15:12I'm the king.
15:17If there's anyone here who the gods prefer,
15:21it's me.
15:24So,
15:26what did you mean to say when you talked about Nadi and Terra?
15:30Uh...
15:32That everything seems to indicate that she prefers to lie on the hay
15:39than on royal sheets.
15:42Mm.
15:43Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
15:45Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
15:48Uh...
15:49I think the truth is you're jealous of her being chosen to lie with me
15:57and become my wife.
16:03I know very well you went to ask Kasare
16:06so Nadi wouldn't be chosen for the secret wedding.
16:08Oh, Ibizine, I never go through such trouble.
16:11Don't lie.
16:13I know it all.
16:14You know what?
16:16Hmm?
16:17Hmm.
16:17I know you went over there to talk to Kasare, too.
16:22Ow!
16:24Leave me in peace.
16:26Ow! Get out! Ow!
16:29Will you tell me, Ibizine?
16:32Will you tell me you didn't pick Nadi?
16:35Hmm?
16:35I am king of Ur.
16:47I have that right.
16:48And I am queen.
16:52I also can have my own requests.
16:56Hmm.
17:02Leave.
17:05Tell them to summon the second wife.
17:08Ibizine, the tenth wife was scheduled for tonight.
17:10She must be bathing in...
17:11Along with those eyes.
17:13Do you have ears?
17:16The second wife.
17:20Call Kala.
17:22Change the schedule.
17:25Yes.
17:28Great king.
17:35Go to your quarters.
17:49Today it's Kala who will sleep with the king.
17:51I'm very sorry.
17:53I had to change the schedule.
17:55Where exactly is the second wife?
18:01Hmm?
18:01Kala.
18:10Ibizine will have you tonight.
18:12Great king.
18:39Kala.
18:42How many moons since I saw you, sir?
18:54Come.
18:57And Leela insisted I not choose you.
19:01I was really surprised when the first wife called out my name.
19:04This time she gave in to obey me.
19:06Only your beauty can distract me from my torments.
19:20Has the first wife been tormenting you?
19:32Of the battles, the worst are with her.
19:34The harems are the same.
19:39She gets...
19:40I don't deserve you, Amat.
19:44Why do you say that?
19:45You stayed all those nights there alone in that cell, and to think it was all of my fault.
19:55I wasn't alone.
19:58God was with me.
19:59I am remembering the promise I made your father when I asked for your hand.
20:08How much I had to insist on it.
20:13What future can my daughter have with a man whose name means aimless?
20:31None.
20:32If that man lowers his head and accepts that fate.
20:38But I'm not like that, Mr. Hagan.
20:40What guarantee will you give me?
20:42My obstinance.
20:45And the love I have for Amat.
20:47But I want to conquer the world, Mr. Hagan.
20:50And give her a queen's life.
20:54I won't let myself be deterred by the meaning of my name.
21:00This Tehra here will never be behind in life.
21:04Never.
21:12Here in the city of Ur, our son will have a very different life.
21:17He won't have to fight against any fate at all.
21:29By the way, have you thought of a name for him?
21:35No.
21:36But why?
21:38Well, I know it's the mother's privilege to choose the name.
21:42But I just...
21:43I thought...
21:45about Abraham.
21:47It means father.
21:52I like it a lot, but...
21:55If it's a girl?
21:56No, it won't be, I am certain.
22:00Notice how your father is a mountain of certainty.
22:03Of course I do.
22:04This is one of my...
22:05my firstborn.
22:06Just as I was sure that I would forge my destiny.
22:13Our sun will shine in this city.
22:16And where I can help, he will have a glorious future.
22:19You know, Amat...
22:26Ur is the land of opportunity.
22:30I just don't want him to become like the men here.
22:32But that won't happen.
22:33We'll teach him everything that we know, my dear.
22:38He'll be a bull.
22:39Yes, look.
22:40Hmm.
22:42A bull.
22:43And he'll be the smartest boy in school.
22:46In school?
22:47Of course.
22:48Amat, I insist on putting our son in a school for scribes.
22:51But that will cost...
22:54Many silver pieces, I know.
22:56But I don't want my son depending on any scribe.
22:58When he does business, he will know how to write and to read a contract.
23:03You expect a lot from this child.
23:05Yes, and why not?
23:06Our son must be better than his father in everything.
23:10He has to be my source of pride.
23:13No, no, no.
23:14I can't expect anything less.
23:17I just want him to be a good boy.
23:19To follow our God.
23:22And be a one-woman man.
23:25If he has your beauty and my charm, it'll be hard for Abraham to be tied to just one.
23:30Thera, you know I don't like those ideas.
23:33No, I was just joking with you.
23:35I was just joking.
23:37By the way, you could have asked the priest for a house further from the temple.
23:41Huh?
23:42Amat, that would be an enormous affront.
23:45Listen.
23:46We need to get accustomed to their world here.
23:50But what if we grow so accustomed we end up forgetting where we came from?
23:54That won't happen, my love.
23:56I told you not to worry about that.
24:01Listen.
24:03Soon our Abraham will arrive.
24:06And you will feel more comfortable here.
24:08The routes of Ur, sir, are not as safe as they used to be.
24:25I don't think you need to say that to him after what happened to the high priest's niece.
24:30Good thing the gods protected Nadi.
24:32It's those accursed Amorites.
24:36Bloodthirsty.
24:37And the Elamites.
24:38They've set fire to the villages.
24:40And to some vessels too, Sovereign.
24:42Now they attack my land and water.
24:44That's why we need to reinforce our defenses, sir.
24:47And I advise a troop of soldiers to accompany Sir Ra on that journey.
24:50It's a very valuable mission to all of us.
24:52But that's absurd.
24:53Why all this?
24:55Absolutely not.
24:56Why all the opposition?
24:57Huh?
24:58Imagine if every caravan leaving Ur is now escorted by soldiers.
25:02How much would we spend on that?
25:04And how many men would we still have to organize?
25:06We are not here to discuss the protection of all caravans, Abisali.
25:10But yes, Tera's mission.
25:13Eker, arrange for the soldiers.
25:15Majesty, if you will permit me.
25:17No. Subject is closed.
25:19Especially since the soldiers serve to keep an eye on Tera.
25:22Ah. Who's to say he can't run away with the flock that he buys?
25:29Or with our silver?
25:33And negotiate with the enemy's cities?
25:36I'll never do that, Sovereign.
25:38I have proven my loyalty.
25:41I prefer not to take risks.
25:44In that case, I suggest disguises to not call attention.
25:47No problem at all.
25:55The pieces of silver for your voyage.
26:02I will not disappoint you, sir.
26:04We'll see.
26:06Up to now, only the gods have been disappointed.
26:08I will not disappoint you, sir.
26:17But what luck Tera has, no?
26:25Oh, you're telling me, daughter.
26:26He's barely arrived and he lives inside the city.
26:28There's no comparison between having a house in the city of Ur and living here.
26:32We know how hard it is to break through those walls.
26:35Living within the city walls you've protected and have fresh water in abundance.
26:39I'm happy for Amat.
26:41She'll have the baby in more comfort.
26:42Just imagine, the products of the port at will, being able to do good business.
26:48Yes, you're right, Aya.
26:50Tera was very lucky, even though he was against the gods.
26:54He deserved it, father.
26:55He brought the goats.
26:56The cheese recipe got him recognized, and they made an offer that appeased Nana's ire.
27:02The gods won't take revenge on the city.
27:04How good for Amat.
27:06We could see she was not very happy living in that tent.
27:09Good for Amat?
27:12I find all of this very unfair.
27:16Amat rejected Ereshkigal, disrespected the gods, and is still rewarded?
27:21Oh, give me a break.
27:27This won't last.
27:29No, it won't.
27:30Amat will get what she deserves.
27:33Yes, she will.
27:35You should attend to your own life, Nadana.
27:37Was that a threat, my brother?
27:39Will you defend those foreigners who insult our gods and stand against your sister?
27:50Oh, look who's come.
27:53What a surprise, Teraf.
27:55I thought you would just forget about all of us once your little wife and you move to the city.
28:00I don't forget those who help me, nor who give me trouble.
28:06Lamasi, I came here to offer you a job.
28:09Here I am.
28:10Tomorrow I'll even a caravan in search of animals for the temple.
28:14I'd like you to come with me.
28:16Goodness.
28:16Thank you, Teraf.
28:30Teraf's caravan cannot do well.
28:34And I know already a way to end this story once and for all.
28:38The caravan will be escorted by the king's soldiers.
28:41This time it will be difficult to attack.
28:43And that is why I thought of a simpler solution.
28:47I just need one man to deal with Teraf.
28:52What are you planning?
28:56Hurry! Hurry!
28:58We can't waste time.
29:00Remember, this is a very important mission.
29:03If the caravan is successful, everyone will be well rewarded.
29:07It's ready, my love.
29:25Ah, my love, thank you. I want to leave quickly.
29:28It's so hard to see you leave.
29:30It's not easy for me either to be far from you.
29:32But it is my work, yes?
29:36We must take advantage of the good tide.
29:39Yes, I know. I understand.
29:44There's no woman in the world like you, Ahmad.
29:47I am a lucky man.
29:50Lucky?
29:53And since when do we believe in luck, Teraf?
29:56Of course.
29:57I've heard so many men in Ur talking like that that I've grown used to the word.
30:00Be careful and come back to me soon.
30:07Of course.
30:09You promise you'll take care now.
30:11And take care of our baby.
30:13Yes.
30:14I always miss you so much, but we'll be fine.
30:17Avoid going out that much.
30:19People still haven't forgotten what happened.
30:22Do you promise?
30:23How can I promise when I must do it?
30:27Then always go out with Yafa.
30:29And the least possible.
30:30All right?
30:32I love you.
30:41And I love you more.
30:46Darling.
30:48Take care of yourself.
30:53Let me leave. Let me leave.
30:54Take care now.
31:25Oh my God.
31:26I'll be right here.
31:26My God.
31:28I'll fly home.
31:29I'll fly home.
31:30I'll fly away.
31:31I'll fly home.

38:19Let's go, men.
38:47We have a long and beautiful journey ahead.
38:51Tarah, are you aware that this is the first of many caravans you'll be commanding in Ur?
38:56I hope so, Lamasi.
38:58I have no doubt, my friend. You'll make history in this city.
39:01Yes, but before history, I need to do business. And here in Ur, let's say that not everyone is willing to help me out.
39:08Things will work out.
39:10If it keeps that look towards Ereshkigal, we better not set one foot outside of Ur.
39:16And so, what do you think of the city?
39:31It's very different from where I was.
39:33Out of curiosity, Amat, why did you move over here? Why did you choose Ur?
39:43It was Tarah's long desire. He always wanted a better life.
39:49He always fought and fights for more comfort.
39:52Especially now when we'll have a child.
39:57And have you chosen the name that you'll give the baby?
40:01If it's a boy, it'll be Abraham.
40:03Abraham.
40:05Different. I've never heard it before.
40:09Tarah chose it, and I thought it perfect.
40:12I can only say that you've made the right choice. Ur is the ideal place when looking for prosperity.
40:17But I want to give you advice as a friend, may I?
40:22Of course.
40:25For you to be respected here, Amat, you also need to respect our gods and our customs.
40:31Oh.
40:34Oh, Jesus.
40:37Oh, Jesus.
40:38Oh, Jesus.
