01x06 - Betrayal of the covenant

Post by bunniefuu »

You're about to make the most noble

act in Hassan Al-Sabbah's call.

You're going to

k*ll the biggest devil.

You're going to

k*ll the Abbasid caliph.

The Abbasid caliph was

not a strong man.

The Abbasid caliphate was

at its worst condition.

I'm Sultan Malik-Shah.

He Sends me his orders?!

Your legitimacy

and your father's legitimacy Alp Arslan

are derived from our loyalty to him.

At the same time, it was the legitimacy

of the Sultan and the whole Seljuk state.

His presence ensures the state's

legitimacy and survival among the public.

To marry the daughter

of my lord, Sultan Malik-Shah

To marry the daughter

of my lord, Sultan Malik-Shah

to the Abbassid Caliph.

So the next caliph or heir

would be of Turkish origin.

Nizam Al-Mulk knows the danger

of allowing the Caliph into Isfahan

because if anything unexpected happens

its consequences would be

catastrophic for the entire Sultanate.

Whether it passes safely or

not, that's your job, Tusi.

Nizam Al-Mulk began a massive

cleanup and reorganization campaign

to receive the Caliph.

And from the knights of the state

there was Yahya ibn Al Mu'adhdhin

there was Yahya ibn Al Mu'adhdhin

who left his house and his love

to fight the infidels

and revenge for his father.

Hassan, in the

Sultan's secret chamber

found it to be a great opportunity

to start his call.

The k*lling of one person

can bring down a state.

You're going to k*ll the Abbassid Caliph.

Episode Six

"Breaking The Pledge"

I've committed.

Blessed.

Blessed for becoming a

proclaimer of the truth.

Praise be to Allah.

Oral praises are not enough.

Oral praises are not enough.

You're a clever Turkish boy, Nour.

You're about to make

the most noble act

since my call began.

An act history won't forget.

I'm ready for any mission.

You're going to

k*ll the biggest devil

their Commander of the

believers and Muslims' Caliph.

You will k*ll the Abbasid caliph.

- Me!

- Do you see the great honor?

- Is this possible?

- Everything is possible with us.

- Is this possible?

- Everything is possible with us.

I've been looking for

you for 15 years.

The Caliph's procession

will enter Isfahan's gates.

To welcome him, there will be the Sultan,

his minister, and the state's nobles

including me.

In front of the gates,

there are six towers.

They have the best

archers of the Sultanate.

Nizam Al-Mulk has ensured unprecedented

security for the Abbasid procession.

Nizam Al-Mulk has ensured unprecedented

security for the Abbasid procession.

But

"They plan, and Allah plans.

And Allah is the best of planners."

In front of the gates

stand two towers.

Each tower has a horn blower

saluting the procession's entry.

We followed one of the two men.

I found out he's a drunkard

Lover of wine, God forbid.

The poor man is a watchman

The watchman will blow the

horn as the first horseman enters.

The watchman will blow the

horn as the first horseman enters.

Ten horsemen will pass

then a decorated horse appears.

with a black cover adorned

with gold on its face.

It's the Caliph's horse.

And how do I

Don't interrupt our lord.

From tonight

after midnight

you will begin to befriend the watchman

and get as close to him as you can

for ten consecutive nights.

for ten consecutive nights.

Each day, a bottle of wine

from the finest selections.

Then, you disappear for five nights

and come back on the 15th night.

Surely, he'll be missing this.

You beg him to let you watch

the procession from his tower above.

You'll give him money and wine

and he will agree.

He's no soldier or fighter.

Just a man blowing a horn.

The procession passes.

After the tenth horseman, you

would have k*lled the watchman.

You draw your bow

You draw your bow

and aim your poisoned arrow

at the Muslim Caliph.

You would have done the

most noble deed in history.

The infidels will definitely catch you

and they will k*ll you.

You'll soar to paradise on martyr's

wings to reunite with loved ones.

As for this world

You and your wife and children

will have what's enough.

Rest assured

My wife is with her now.

Your children are mine and Hassan's

and you are my sister.

I'll protect them for life

I'll protect them for life

Your well-being is protected by us

and our lord, the Imam, for eternity.

Your children are like mine

and your wife is my sister.

Your children are under my husband's care

until we all meet in paradise.

until we all meet in eternal paradise.

"Brothers, on thrones

facing each other", Nour.

"Brothers, on thrones

facing each other"

Your presence in the regular

schools saved our state, Maulana.

Your presence in the regular

schools saved our state, Maulana.

Our state will always be grateful to you

for the Jihad you waged

here with your knowledge.

My Lord.

It was very difficult.

Al-Ghazali feels that

he wants to learn

not to be a teacher.

Al-Ghazali humbles himself as he wishes

but we can never do without you.

Keep up your Jihad, Imam.

Keep up your Jihad.

I would sacrifice my life for

you with my mother and father

I would sacrifice my life for

you with my mother and father

If I acted badly

in your love, forgive me

Because only

prophets are invincible

The groom is waiting.

Why does the bride

seem sad and gloomy?

Is the marriage contract signed?

How could it be

signed with you like this?

What would the groom

and his family say?

Come on, my daughter.

I forced myself to get married

I can't force my face to smile.

You go see the groom and his family

and I will make

her laugh, not just smile.

I am satisfied

with just the smile

- but convince her.

- Okay.

It's a forced marriage, mom.

We've been patient for so long

and your lover never showed up.

I told you if Yahya came,

I would get your father to agree.

But he never came

and you're not young any more

and it's shameful to

reject suitors without reason.

He will come.

Indeed, he will come

Only after he finds the one

who k*lled his parents, if he does.

How old will you be then?

My daughter, go down

Go down and enjoy with the girls.

Let your mind control your heart.

If I acted badly

in your love, forgive me

Because only

prophets are invincible

Because only

prophets are invincible

About a witch who walks on strings

By God, I heard my soul

Congratulations, bride!

The procession arrives in a few hours.

Our lord, Nizam Al-Mulk!

- How long have you been serving here?

- For many years, my lord.

What is this!

- This is

- A drunkard!

Drunkard, and honking on

a day like this!

Drunkard, and honking on

a day like this!

Take him!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

Long live the Caliph!

I am the oppressed, Shamata.

I don't want

charity, money, or begging.

Injustice in our country is

ancient, living safely and soundly.

Like the market, the

soldiers, and the sultan.

At first, injustice was

a small cowardly rat.

At first, injustice was

a small cowardly rat.

Then it grew and became a beast, like

the market, the soldiers, and the sultan.

Noor Bareq is not home,

he has vanished.

Did he betray us?

No.

Aren't you worried?

I am accustomed, at a certain time

to resign myself to

fate and be prepared.

Don't defy your fate, Zaid.

Deliver the message to

the call supporters .

I am the oppressed, Shamata.

I don't want

charity, money, or begging.

A heart sickened by the beauty's love

And a chest tightened by what is unsaid

My Lord, are You

satisfied with this thirst?

And the water flows

Before me, like a stream!

Should this heart continue to beat?

And be burned in the fervor of love?

What a wasted day passing

without loving.

On the day when the

tree of my life is uprooted

The galaxies will scatter

If they made a cup from my clay

As soon as they fill it with

eagerness, my soul will dissolve in it.

This is public sinning

and love for wine.

Where is the sinning

and love for wine?

What a waste to live like this.

Rushed and ignorant!

His heart is sickened

by the beauty's love.

His chest has tightened.

By what is not said.

It's nice to feel like

a soldier in a strong army.

You feel you're

not just any soldier.

- He seems to like the new uniform, Yahya.

- What uniform, you coward!

I'm talking about the Sultan's

army; renowned far and wide.

A strong state, but full of sedition.

- Every good has its evil.

- We are soldiers of goodness.

Goodness lies in unity.

Being of a single

heart, one man, one creed.

Not greed and souls.

Every soul holds darkness

that can overthrow any state.

One man's heart, one creed!

A very distant dream, Yahya.

It was a reality when

at religion's inception.

The era of divine revelation is

different from our era.

See the nations, races,

and religions that disappeared

but their traces are still here.

Human souls, Yahya,

can hide many things

and disguise to

live on and continue.

But at the first real moment

the truth appears.

One goes around people as

if they don't know them.

You can only see their appearance,

but not what lies within.

He could be side by side, fighting

under your banner, but within, your enemy.

You mean

The one who used to

serve your father then betrayed him.

I know.

But are you sure it's him?

Nourhan saw him from her window.

And by the way,

you were unjust to Nourhan.

How can I love and

adore, while my parents' k*ller lives?

Where is my honor!

What love can conquer a scarred heart!

And what is her sin, Yahya?

That she loved you?

She loved you, and you

seem to be punishing her.

Should I leave my avenge

and propose to her?

- Is that being a man?

- A man is a man in everything, Yahya.

In his avenge and promise to his lover.

Fulfill your promise, Yahya

Then we'll continue

on your journey of avenge.

Where am I?

May God honor you,

father, can you help me?

Sorry.

My sight is weak.

I don't see well.

Are you a fairy

from the night fairies or..

Are you a fairy

from the night fairies or..

a girl on a horse?

I'm lost and I need your help.

Helping beautiful girls

is a duty.

Take me to King Shah's army camp.

Certainly.

I need you to go to

Nourhan's father confident.

Don't forget, you're a knight.

If he asks who you are, your father?

Tell him my father is

Isfahan's top sl*ve trader.

We have a palace near Isfahan

where your daughter will live like a queen.

- Respected

- Suleiman, Suleiman!

He is our neighbour and he

knew my father, may he rest in peace.

And you know.

Anyway, stand tall.

And consider that if you have

a son, you'll name him Tayfoor.

And if it's a girl?

Name her Tayfoor as well.

- Suleiman!

- Tayfour!

Peace be upon you, Haj Ardash.

Yahya!

You're late, my son.

- Is everything ok?

- How would it be ok?

I am filled with regret and shame.

God rest your parents.

Your family left you

because of k*lling and death,

but death in the end is a mercy.

But for a man whose daughter

leaves him while she is still alive

It's a shame, Yahya.

Nourhan!

Her cousins just arrived.

They searched for her everywhere.

She left no trace.

There is no might

nor power except in Allah.

There is no might

nor power except in Allah.

There is no might

nor power except in Allah.

Is Judgement day already here!

Girls want to

join men in the army.

Girls want to

join men in the army.

My husband has been there for so long.

I want to know

if he's alive or dead.

Your husband?!

Though your voice and appearance say

that you couldn't possibly be married.

He is my fiancé and lover.

Okay.

Do you have

a weapon to protect us?

No.

Just keep walking

beside me, let's go.

Where are we?

Good people will welcome

and shield us from road dangers.

They will shelter us and feed us

and in the morning, they

will guide us to the camp

where your husband,

lover, or fiancé

is located. Get down, get down.

It's unbelievable that a pretty

girl like you and an old man like me

would come to good people

like these and be scared.

They will protect us, let's go.

Who?

Zendar.

The poor man.

Are you alone?

Zendar brings news.

That's Zendar.

And he has a gazelle with him!

And he has a gazelle with him!

- Bring her!

- Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

Leave me alone!

- Hide now.

- Who are you?!

- Watch him.

- Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!

Get me out!

- Get me out of here!

- How bad love can be!

your voice fades.

Don't raise your voice.

I’m the only one here

who can raise his voice.

Do you understand or not?

- Now, put her with the others.

- No no no, please don't!

- Now, put her with the others.

- No no no, please don't!

- No please! get me out!

- Let's go.

Please, get me out!

Secure the door well!

Please open the door!

Open this door!

If you keep screaming,

they will k*ll you.

Open for me!

Please, open for me!

And I went to her house

and reassured her

told her your kids are like ours.

Aren't you listening?

No, I hear you very well.

The key is to reassure those in need.

At dawn, you'll take Al-Hadi and Al-Hussein

And you'll move according

to Zaid bin Suhoon's guidance.

Why?

Did something happen?

I heard you.

Now, you'll listen to me

and execute.

Yes.

Your eye is going blindly

and your soul is close to hell.

If you spoke up

I can order them

to stop the bleeding.

My soul is heading to paradise

and you all are headed to hell.

Who are you all?

Enemies of God

and the Imam.

The drunkard turned out

to be wiser than you.

The drunkard turned out

to be wiser than you.

Speak!

He said you were

with him for a while.

A well thought out and solid plan.

I liked it.

But since you're dying

I'd like to let you know

that your wife is on her way to us.

She'll be asked the same questions and

tortured after your death until she talks.

She'll be asked the same questions and

tortured after your death until she talks.

Say what's the story of

the drunkard horn blower

Is there any hope?

Do I know you?

I kept my pledge

but you betrayed me, Hassan.

There is no pledge for traitors.

You who first betrayed

- and for a long time.

- You?

- Who's "you"?!

- Those who side with oppressors.

who denies the truth.

You think you alone

can take down the

strongest country in the world?

Weaker than a spider's web.

We'll see

We'll see, Hasan.

If there were three

like Hassan Al-Sabbah

there would be

no country like yours.

You servant to the sultan,

the caliphate, and the devil.

You have three nights

You'll see colors of

torment you've never seen.

Then, I'll keep my pledge.

Your head will tour

the streets of Isfahan

on a spear!
