01x04 - House of the Sultanate's Secret

[bunniefuu]

The secret

with only one person

My son

Nizar.

Praise be to God.

The Caliph Al-Mustansir Billah died

Badr Al-Jamali wants to

takes full control of Cairo

through Al-Musta'li.

The powerful Armenian minister,

Badr Badr El-Deen Al-Jamali controlled

over every aspect of the Fatimid State

and so the treachery began,

and the sedition was ignited

then Badr El-Deen

disposed of the elder son

the death of Nizar

Al-Mustansir Billah's son

the death of Nizar

Al-Mustansir Billah's son

it was the gate opened

for Hassan Al-Sabbah

I offer you my soul, mind, and body

to start a new dawah

dawah for the m*rder*d Imam

from whom no connection

remains with the world

except for one person

Hassan Al-Sabbah

Al-Dawah al-Nizariyyah

Hassan was exiled to Morocco

but he exploited destiny and circumstances

but he exploited destiny and circumstances

and knowledge

and the boat went to Acre

and from Acre to Isfahan

Hassan begins the rest of his journey

and his dream and secret.

At the same time,

the minister Nizam Al-Mulk

was managing the affairs of the Sultanate

and consolidating the

rule of Sultan Malik-Shah

with cleverness and cunning

he quelled the familial sedition

-Long live Sultan Malik-Shah!

-Long live Sultan Malik-Shah!

-Long live Sultan Malik-Shah!

-Long live Sultan Malik-Shah!

and the friends will meet

again.

"Episode Four"

"House of the Sultanate's Secret"

If you had the choice

to k*ll Hassan to live

k*ll Hassan!

I arrived here with my faith.

There aren't two faiths

only one faith.

-One faith in what?

-In Hassan Al-Sabbah!

Another nightmare?

I feel for you, Hassan.

The danger really increases for us.

Danger is the sacred path

that leads me to my goal

my presence in danger is safety, Donia.

they said he gets out

expelled on a ship to Morocco

and I said the boat to dock in Acre.

and I said the boat to dock in Acre.

I want those.

Can you afford them?

Your sword.

If my sword comes out, I'd take

them without paying any silver.

I am tired.

You're not a girl, the road is still long.

Hassan is still a child.

I want him to become a man.

"Acre Port"

Long live Sultan Malik-Shah!

Yahya! Yahya!

Yahya! Yahya!

Have you gone mad? He's your

brother, not your enemy!

You avenge who k*lled

your father when you fight.

Pardon me, commander.

Ibrahim!

I have become jealous

I have become jealous

Of whom?

Of your love for your work

we don't see you anymore

Your loyalty to Sultan and state

has become bigger than your love

for me and our children.

The strength of the state

comes from my strength, lady Gulnar.

What about us?

You living in glory and safety

my success at work and my sincerity to it

is what ensures everything

for this house, Gulnar.

It's not guaranteed

none of this is guaranteed

governance and politics

never treated anyone fairly

they are dangerous.

Gulnar, danger exists even

when I'm asleep in bed

what makes men is betting on the

truth, no matter how dangerous it is

safety is in taking risks.

Every day you win

your enemies increase.

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid

Those enemies are the fuel for manhood.

How is the beloved of

the Sultanate's minister?

-Anxious.

-Anxious!

I wish I was the wife

of a simple carpet maker.

Meaning…

You're laughing!

I would have made you

the most beautiful carpet

I would knit it

for you with silk threads

and draw your beautiful face on it

I would hang it on the wall

so that no one steps on it with their feet

only look at it with their eyes

only look at it with their eyes

so that everyone knows

What it means for a man to love a woman.

You know how to deceive me!

Shall I order the food?

Do you know what our state lacks?

What?

We have a great sultan

and we have a strong army

we have great scholars

and established schools

we have great scholars

and established schools

we're just missing two geniuses

Omar Khayyam

and Hassan Al-Sabbah

Goodbye, goodbye

Oh mortal world, goodbye

The resurrection occurred

The resurrection occurred

and people are either in heaven

or in hell and they are unaware

-Who's in hell and who's in heaven?

-Everyone's in hell.

-Then who’s in heaven?

-Me.

In heaven alone

dancing and singing

In heaven alone

dancing and singing

How are you, Abu Suhon?

Our number increased

I have 200 preacher with me

for Imam Nizar.

I'm returning to Isfahan, there're a lot

going on between me and Nizam Al-Mulk

We are with you around Isfahan.

Stay with the poor and the needy

treat them with kindness and mercy

don't say anything

but one sentence to them

the scholars are liars and they

aren't the people with arguments

How do we meet?

On moonless nights

at the cave of ibn Attash.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye

Oh mortal world, goodbye.

Isfahan again, Hassan?

I must meet Nizam Al-Mulk.

What guarantees you that

Nizam Al-Mulk will receive you well?

The pledge between us

He might deny it.

He might forget it.

He might forget it.

It's not like him.

Other than that, he needs me.

An enemy state to us and

our school of thought, Hassan.

There's no school of thought.

-I'll deny it.

-You'll deny it!

Finally…

the friends meet.

Years have gone by

but it seems like our hearts didn't change

So, as long as the hearts remain the same

then surely the pledges are too.

then surely the pledges are too.

A man's nature is to keep pledges.

So it’s time.

Do you know what I have become now?

The minister of a state that

God wished to be the strongest.

The minister of the strongest state

won't allow anyone

coming from the Fatimid

to preach his school of thought here.

Who said I'm here to

preach any school of thought?

I just came to remind

you of our pledge.

I'm keeping the pledge

but within the secure boundaries

of Sultan Malik-Shah's state.

Does the state's power lies

only in the military, Tusi?

Or it also lies in knowledge

and people’s minds?

Do you want to manage a province

and be responsible for it?

and responsible for

the sciences and philosophy?

I can provide you

with all the capabilities.

No, no.

I be a ruler! I rule people!

I can't even rule myself.

-I don't want it.

-Fine.

Then stay by my side in the ministry diwan

You will be in charge

of scientific affairs

and astronomy, algebra, and mathematics.

No, nor this, Tusi.

-I am still learning.

-I knew it.

Omar Khayyam is a man

without responsibility except

-Dreams.

-Dreams.

Yes, dreams.

I'm not like you, I'm free

and I want to stay free.

Omar Khayyam's

freedom is our responsibility

Omar Khayyam's

freedom is our responsibility

and at the expense of our state.

And you, Hassan.

Do you know why I saved you for last?

Because of the danger of ambition.

There is no danger,

nor ambition nor anything

I just want to be in a place

where I can benefit you

and benefit the state that you love

A place where I can give

all my effort and intellect, Tusi.

By God's grace

By God's grace

I have established

the largest surveillance system

there is no human

who whispers from his lips

and I don't know what he said

and from me

to our lord, the Sultan

can you imagine the level

of trustworthiness and honesty!

Yeah, but

what would my role be exactly?

You will be responsible in front of me

for writing

all surveillance reports

in a simplified form

for our Sultan.

But this is indeed a

great responsibility.

You'll be responsible for

the writing of the surveillance reports

but at the same time

you will also be under surveillance

just like any human in Isfahan.

Agreed.

As long as your safety

ensures my safety, agreed.

Then tomorrow we will all pray behind

our lord, the Sultan in the grand mosque.

Then tomorrow we will all pray behind

our lord, the Sultan in the grand mosque.

All of us.

You want me to accept two

in this position in the Sultanate court

one of them is from

another school of thought

you want trust it with

the secrets of the state

and the other to spend its money on him

And he is known for

his doubt and lack of faith

that is if he even has faith!

Our state is great, my lord

Our state is great, my lord

it is unparalleled

and great states open

their doors for great minds

and Hassan Al-Sabbah is a great mind

he will do everything he

can to present amazing ideas

for our state and our Sultan

to prove his loyalty

and regains the trust he lost when

he was expelled from the Fatimid

as for Omar Khayyam

he'll present new ideas

especially in algebra

he'll present new ideas

especially in algebra

mathematics, astronomy and calendar

besides, he has a free heart

the free person do not betray, my lord.

Are you guaranteeing their loyalty?

I guarantee them with my life,

Your Excellency, the Sultan.

The pain doesn't go away, Ibrahim.

Take this

Press this under your tooth for relief.

Are you treating him with parsley?

Are you treating him with parsley?

Enough ignorance, Soliman.

That's enough, Soliman.

My bad, Tayfour.

I wish a w*r soon so you could unleash

this pent-up rage inside you on

someone other than me, Yahya

-It's just a minor scratch, Tayfour.

-But in his eye

and the best thing

about him is his eyes

-He has nothing else.

-Soliman!

Calm down!

What?

I apologize, it's my fault, Tayfour.

What's wrong, Ibrahim?

Just press it underneath your tooth.

What do I have to do with Abu Hanifa,

Al-Shafi'i, Malik, and ibn Hanbal?

I want to hear about someone alive

A reliable person whom

everyone agrees upon.

And who is this trustworthy

man that everyone agrees upon

so far, according to you?

The living Imam

our lord, the Awaited Mahdi.

Alright, fine.

Bring him to me for discussion

or instead

Tell me where he is and I'll go to

him and I'll be among his first followers

if his words are true.

He's in occultation.

How am I supposed to

solve my problems and issues?

Or am I supposed to wait

and not to address any issue

until he decides to show up?

There're preachers who speak

on his behalf and we listen to them.

How do they speak on his

behalf when he's absent?

How can I trust them? And

what is their evidence anyway?

If they know the method of

communication and his location

why don't they tell the rest

of the people so they can also follow him?

You will never follow him,

nor see him nor know him

because your heart doesn't have

the light guiding you to him.

Your heart is polluted with the

love of the world and bribes

and the false belief that knowledge

resides only in people like you

-People like you lack knowledge.

-Man, why the false accusations?

-We're discussing with reason.

-There is no reason with our lord's words.

-We're discussing with reason.

-There is no reason with our lord's words.

-Where is this lord?

-He is there!

And God has hidden him from your sight.

You won't k*ll him like

the Imams before, disbelievers.

-How rude! You need discipline!

-Leave him alone!

-Leave him.

-He needs to be disciplined!

I'm responsible for him.

So he can learn how to

be polite with scholars.

Who told you to argue with scholars?

My faith.

I think it's better

not to confront the scholars

It's enough that you distort

their image in front of the poor and needy

Let them teach people disbelief?

Scholars in mosques

talk to people like them

all of them are in the same ignorance

but the oppressed poor

sitting in his house

that's who you should go

to and knock on his door

and even serve him

he must see your mercy and righteousness

then you invite him

to your school of faith

with affection, not reason.

then he will hate the world

and hate his servitude to

the state and the Sultan.

until the known day comes.

What day?

Scholars in mosques who can't

find anyone to listen to them.

At first, I thought you would t*rture me.

I thought our lord Hassan

denied our school of thought

and became a subject to

the Sultan and Nizam Al-Mulk.

and became a subject to

the Sultan and Nizam Al-Mulk.

I love a person who chooses, Ardash

human is free

I can smuggle you and you can

spread dawah somewhere else

and I can t*rture you

and this will consolidate my

position and dawah better.

and your wounds and pains

are an evidence of sincerity

in the heart of every oppressed

who has seen or heard

of Ardash's suffering for dawah

Choose

do whatever your heart tells you.

By the way, Ardash

I love you unconditionally.

Scholars' obedience is mandatory!

At first, I didn't believe

your words about him

his loyalty led him to

flog a fellow believer

Hassan Al-Sabbah's

loyalty is to himself, my lord

now it's in his interest

to prove his loyalty to us

Omar Khayyam is awaiting

my lord, the Sultan.

An unprecedented accurate

calculation of the year.

We will have a great

calendar and yearly calculations.

Omar Khayyam, oh my lord

Who is like Omar Khayyam!

Omar, how can you combine poetry

Omar, how can you combine poetry

which is something romantic and spiritual

with Algebra which is

more of an intellectual matter?

Love

everything I do, I do it with love

algebra, the calculation

like music is free

and like the mind, it has calculations.

I also want to hear some poetry.

My lord, the Sultan

-It seems the poet Omar…

-Unrestrained

I want to hear Omar's poetry

unrestrained as you write it.

That departing blames the drunkards

If I wake, I would repent

and sins are redeemed

I took pride in

abstemiousness of luxury

Sinful she comes,

blaming the youngster

I heard a yelling voice at early dawn

calling from the unseen

the heedless humans

Rush to fill the cup of desires before

Life's cup would be filled with

The hand of fate

I can't believe it.

What can't you believe?

As if you are a man

without ambition.

Does ambition means to be in charge?

My ambition is to remain free

There is no greater ambition than this.

When I saw you

A bold lover in ibn Al-Taher's palace

I thought you were a man

with limitless ambition.

Your eyes are my ambition.

Sometimes I am sad when I feel

that I can't understand what you want.

I want my freedom

What contradicts your freedom

in being a man of power?

A great contradiction

every power is a chain I don't need.

Anyway, I love you and that's enough

I don’t have to love you

and understand you.

How about I teach you to read and write?

So your mind would understand mine.

Even if you flog a thousand

Esoterics every day or even k*ll them

that won't change

my opinion of you, Hassan

that won't change

my opinion of you, Hassan

The cord of affection and

friendship is extended, Hassan

But if I discover that you are

spreading your school of thought

in the great Seljuk state

I will not flog you or imprison you

I will place your head on a

spear for all of Isfahan to see

You know what would be the greatest

dawah to my school of thought right now?

That you actually roam with

my head on a spear in Isfahan.

That you actually roam with

my head on a spear in Isfahan.

It will be as if you tell people

to see for themselves

here it is a head of a new oppressed

and a head of a new oppressed

means new followers

-Is this a challenge, Hassan?

-On the contrary

It's obedience and loyalty

I'm telling you, if I want

me to become a hero

pushing you to cut off my head

is the easiest thing to do

and become a new martyr

in the chain of martyrs

but I don't want to

I want the state to be stable.

Come and learn about your new mission.

This section is dedicated

to the Byzantines.

As for this,

it's dedicated to

the Fatimid Caliphate

and this is for the Abbasid

as for the one behind you

it's for the Far East.

How can you get accurate

inventory of information?

that ultimately brings you to

a particular meaning or warning?

We can, Hassan.

Your job is to summaries

with utmost accuracy

you can start with the Fatimid

your friends

you know better about

them and their affairs

it would gives us a chance

to compare the results you get

with the information we have

so we could measure

your honesty and loyalty.

Great.

Here, you'll find information

about all the dissenters

like the Esoterics for example

Their meetings and their numbers

who among them is

active and who is passive

and others

and others

and of course, other dissenters

You'll find information about the Sufi,

the philosophers, and the Mutakallimun

people of other faiths. You'll find here

whatever comes to your mind, Hassan.

If you allow me, I'll have

to stay here for three nights.

So as to be able to get an

idea related to summarization.

Three nights?

In the house Sultanate's secret?

I wish you tell the people

responsible for my surveillance

I wish you tell the people

responsible for my surveillance

to take care of me, if

I need food or beverage.

Those who enter the house

Sultanate's secret, Hassan

leave without a secret.

It means you go in and out

without a secret.

Our Lord, the Proof Hassan Al-Sabbah

Our Lord, the Proof Hassan Al-Sabbah

sends his salutations to each

and every one of you

may the peace of our Imam be upon you

may God sanctify his secret

and perpetuate his shadow

He tells you that

Imam loves you very much

Continue praying for our Imam Nizar

who is always smiling at you

and pleased with you.

Tell the kind-hearted, that

the dream is about to come true

and that the days of justice are near.

Justice without oppression, and

the oppressive state is destined to fall

He wants to tell you

something critical

our lord the Proof Hassan Al-Sabbah

Do not be deceived by the oppressive

state's victory over the polytheists.

The Seljuks' victory over

the Crusaders does not mean anything.

They're all the same.

The Seljuk and Abbasid

are not so different from

the Crusaders, Buddhists, or Zoroastrians.

All of them are equally misguided.

You are the people of the truth.

Even if you're a small

white dot in a black world.

Rejoice!

The hour of relief is near.

From the Abbasid Caliph, the

Caliph of Muslims to Malik-Shah

I write to you to warn you

of the imminent danger

the observers have informed us

the observers have informed us

of something that our responsibility

compels us to share with you

Hussein.

For the third time, you

haven't done your duty.

You didn't memorize what's

required, nor helped your brother

and I've been told you fell

from the horse three times.

and I've been told you fell

from the horse three times.

-What did I teach you for?

-I can't remember.

I hate you.

I don't like reading nor horse riding.

You are Hassan Al-Sabbah's son

What you ask of me every day is too much

-It's beyond my ability.

-Nothing is beyond your ability.

You can even do the impossible!

No, I can't!

If you've forgotten what I

taught you, let me remind you.

You know your father appreciates

a man who chooses.

Do you choose to spend an entire night

alone in the darkness until morning?

or tomorrow at this time you would

have done all your duties and even more?

or tomorrow at this time you would

have done all your duties and even more?

Choose.

I'd spend the night alone in the dark.

-Hassan!

-It's his choice!

Hassan!

For my sake, Hassan!

For my sake!

Don't worry!
