01x08 - From Here We Will Rule the World

Post by bunniefuu »

Don't worry!

As if I know you

as if I know you

Hassan is good at physiognomy

he looks into the eyes of someone

in front of him and interprets him

-You are the baker's son.

-he feels his weakness

May life and destiny be

prolonged with my lady

she's afraid to become

a silent mother after all these years

and the minister manipulates the Caliphate

and his needs and deficiencies

Those who lack your competence,

sincerity, and knowledge

will always find them ranked above you

secrets of sciences like

alchemy, astronomy, and others

make Hassan do amazing things

he divides into two in front of your eyes

he whispers in your mind

-in your dream.

-Didn't you see me in your dream at all?

he appears in your nightmares

Hassan Al-Sabbah took advantage of the

miracles mentioned in the heavenly books

A pledge with darkness

Are you going to choose light or darkness?

-Darkness.

-Hassan agreed to it since he was a child

Great secret lies in the darkness

Hassan believes his goal is noble

anything justifies for its sake

k*ll him!

The day that Nizam Al-Mulk

imprisoned Hassan Al-Sabbah

he thought it was the day of his end

he doesn't know it's

the beginning of a legend

-the public and kings will talk about it.

-"Where has Hassan Al-Sabbah gone?"

"Episode Eight"

"From Here We'll rule the World"

Wait for me

as I expected, I found it here

as if my soul smelled it

What's this plant?

It's magic plant

It's the plant of the other world

A horse that eats will walk

for days without getting tired

but if you burn it and inhale its smoke

You'll fly with the smoke

wherever you want and dream

-Dream about what?

-Whatever you want

If you want gardens and rivers, you'll go

If you want palaces and maids

if you want to go to heaven, you'll go

-Like alcohol?

-No, no

alcohol makes your

blood boil in your veins

but its smoke makes you

feel lighter and more peaceful

I knew it in jail. I was pointed to it by

someone who was tortured with me

its smoke alleviated

all pain and suffering

What's its Islamic ruling?

Once its smoke enters my

chest, I am beyond any Islamic ruling.

You committed many mistakes, Nizam Al-Mulk

You've placed your friend

in a precarious state position

and then you discovered his betrayal

and then he escaped from your prison

three mistakes in a row,

it's hard for me to accept.

It is your right, my lord

I am at your disposal

and ready for any punishment.

No, the punishment isn't now

The punishment is if your

friend reappears one day

considers standing as

an enemy against the state

That won't happen as long as I'm alive

because I won't let him live to

achieve his malicious purpose.

I hope so

because then, I'll make you pay

for all your mistakes once and for all.

What's the price of

a shelter for three strangers?

Shelter without money!

A stranger's shelter is money.

You seem more generous than

the Seljuk Sultan and the Abbasid Caliph.

Sultan and Caliph?

We only hear about them

we're far away from Isfahan and Baghdad.

Excuse me, I need to check on my family

You have a sick child.

How did you know?

Do you mind if I see him?

Please, go ahead.

Ask for permission.

By the grace of our Imam

Bring milk.

Come here.

Are you okay?

You have a son who will be

a hero that people will be amazed by.

My lord, my lord you possess a secret.

The guardian of era is

responsible for all people

-I am just one of his servants.

-How can I repay your favor?

A good prayer from you is enough

remember us well

remember that three

of Imam's beloved and Ahl al-Bayt

have just passed by your place.

Who forgets the honorable!

We're close by

-we are Alamut Castle's guests.

-Alamut Castle?

If you need anything

we're there.

Hussein is stubborn and feisty

he needs to get in, enough playing.

I couldn't handle him, and

his brother also encouraging him.

As stubborn as his father

God help our lord Hassan and may

he return safely from his journey.

God willing!

I'm not afraid for him from danger

he and danger are friends

I'm just afraid for him from himself

This is hard for me to understand

Hassan will certainly reach his goal

to reach that goal,

he can sacrifice everything

even his comfort and health.

If Hussein is like his father

then he wouldn't quit

his stubbornness at all.

That's why I wish to have a daughter

to spare me from living

with these stubborn men.

Our lady

we received messages from our lord

he reassures you and says that he

finally got out of the oppressor's prison

we will see him very soon.

Yahya

Where are you going, Yahya?

Nourhan!

I apologize.

If you behave foolishly

and insult and hit everyone

who touches you in the market again

I won't spare you.

I will disfigure you

and make you crawl and beg

in the streets of the nearest city.

Listen well to my final

warning and understand it!

He will actually do that.

I'd prefer to be d*sfigured poor and free

than to be a maid and toy in men's hands.

You think the d*sfigured beggar is free?

You are naive, you barely

left your mother's lap once.

Use your head, Nourhan.

Maybe God will place us

in the hands of a compassionate man.

I'll be fasting from speaking

starting from tomorrow, Zaid.

So what should we say

when we speak, lord?

This castle is on a high mountain

it is a hard-to-reach fortress

Gather all the information about

the castle and the shepherds

share that our lord sends

greetings and herald you

Peace be upon you.

peace be upon you too.

-Give her money.

-Charity?

Thank him and tell

him I don't need charity.

We're all brothers in Islam and one

should help his brother, it's your right.

Who are you?

Men of God who rely on him

Coming to tell you that if the Sultan

and the unjust minister forgot about you

God never will

if you and your children need anything

Come to the Alamut Castle

and ask for our lord.

Nothing is faster than woman’s talk

The story of the three ascetics

will travel around the mountain.

Three ascetics distributing

money to people

They are guests at

the prince's Alamut Castle.

ask about their sons, the males

herald them and give them weapons

tell them our lord is waiting for you.

Our lord is waiting for you in the castle

he promises you paradise

and promises your children the Dominion

Will they come here? How do they appear?

Those are three men who give

children money and pray for them

they'll fulfill anyone's needs.

We'll wait for them here, even

if I have to stay till dawn.

Visit our lord in the

castle for three nights

the first two nights you

ask for his prayers and leave

the third night, you stay

when he looks and smiles at you

draw your weapons and take over his castle

Aren't you pleased that

he saved you by escaping?

Saved me?

I wasn't supposed to enter

your house again, Omar.

I swear that he saved you.

You fled the burden of

k*lling Hassan Al-Sabbah.

If I could k*ll him a thousand times

I will do it, Omar.

How did he escape

from the Sultan's prison?

He didn't just escape

he escaped and took his jailer with him.

Smart, deceptive.

You should have put a deaf

and mute guard on his prison.

His escape might be a good thing

because revenge on him would be bigger.

Also, k*lling a prisoner you hold

is different from k*lling him

while he is free and on the loose.

Revenge

I really want to understand

what that word means!

Revenge is a language only understood by

men who are born to face challenges.

What are you facing, Omar?

Your feelings?

Your fears? Your concerns?

What I face, neither you nor

Hassan Al-Sabbah can confront it, Tusi.

I am facing myself

that's something none of you can bear.

If you could bear it

You wouldn't have become Nizam Al-Mulk

nor him become Hassan Al-Sabbah.

The greater jihad

Jihad al-Nafs comes

after the lesser jihad.

Do you understand me,

poet of time and era?

after you struggle

and fight all your enemies

and triumph over them

what will you do?

You'll die.

You'll die and become dust, Tusi.

That's the fate of men

struggle and death

and reckoning

the balance is set up

and there will be a weight for

men in this world and the hereafter

Can you bear all of this?

Struggle, death, reckoning and balance?

To discover at the end that

you're nothing on the balance?

If in your perception life is nihilism

then what's the point of it?

If I were to ask that question freely

a thousand scholars

would rule my execution

you'd be the executioner.

If you are to incite the masses

So, why wouldn't I?

or do you want to ask

and live safely, Omar?

Safety?

There is no safety, Tusi

Safety is the first thing one loses

when they come into this world.

Anyway, I did not come to debate

your philosophy of existence.

I came to ask you one question only.

Ask.

Which one of us three is right?

Me or you?

or Hassan Al-Sabbah?

We three

are wrong.

Wrong?

I am the sl*ve of my fear

You are the sl*ve of power

and Hassan is a sl*ve to himself.

A lost battle for the three of us

There is no victor, Tusi.

I wonder, how is Nizam Al-Mulk snow?

He's definitely thinking

of a way to avenge.

I know.

Finally, you have broken your fast.

Not willingly

when the sky became

clear, I had to inform you

that those three

escapees will rule the world

from there we will rule the world.

I'll take you to a prince in Alamut Castle

I swear

If you make any of your moves

I will k*ll you and bury

you under his castle

do you understand or not?

She understands very well.

The journey will take some time

eat, and wash your bodies

wear the new clothes

think carefully about my last threat

either you obey me, or you will die

that's it

even disfigurement became a waste on you.

Eat!

Come on, get up.

Who owns Alamut Castle?

Alamut Castle is owned by a Dailami

Prince, who bought it many years ago

escaping the world in it

How is he?

When the guards get what

they asked for the castle

say that he is a strange man

living his life between

amusement and regret

one night he prays and do his dhikr

and one night he gets drunk

suddenly, he runs atop

the castle, screaming

he has maids from all over the world

sometimes

he cries out in remorse loudly

sometimes, he treats the

guards and servants like family

one time, he imprisons them

another time, he tortures them.

He must have many guards.

No, not many

their leader is a Nishan man

he is a sad, yellow man

who is always hungry

but there are three strong

knights inside the castle

Jowan, Barqash, and Homeel.

Poor man, prince Mahdy.

The supporters and preachers

have arrived, my lord.

Welcome, beloved ones.

You are the ones who

answered the call of truth

and believed our dawah

at time when truthful people are few.

You just need to obey

and it's upon us to fulfill the promise.

Your children are my children

they will be brought up in the castle

they will learn astronomy,

mathematics, and horsemanship

will be a guarantee to their families

for entry into paradise.

The money we have is not ours

It's for the dawah

we don't seek money

neither are weapons

we need nothing but a dagger or a sword

the rest is to be distributed

only to those in whom you trust.

From here, the whole world will know us.

Disappear into the mountains

wait for the promise and signal

a flame lighting the top of every castle

at the time, you surround it

The first one is Kardkouh Castle

then fire will appear

over the Alamut Castle

then begins the great promise

the promise of victory

and the resurrection of enemies.

Go forth with the blessing of God

and devote yourselves to obedience.

After the appearance, comes concealment

until the time of revelation.

Prepare yourselves to

be rewarded with heaven

because I herald you

I am the owner of the key to heaven!

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

-Praise the Lord.

Who are you?

We're guests who rely on God's will

you're the three ascetics,

the shepherds were talking about, right?

-If permitted we'll rest in castle's shade

-Not allowed!

Sleeping over here is prohibited!

Everyone return to his place!

Everyone return to his place!

A Nishan man

the kind with many kids

You transport food and drinks

daily to the castle on your shoulders

you sleep smelling the food you

carried, dreaming about eating it.

Who are you?

You stay up late nights

sleep during the day

your wage can't afford even

a delicious meal you wish for.

unfortunately, whenever

you return to your wife

You neither make her happy

with money nor with health

you return again standing

in front of the castle gate

sad and broken

hungry.

What do you want from me?

Go and talk about us to your lord

tell him that the three

ascetics know everything

Go on, man.

The three ascetics

Your reputation wraps

the castle's mountains

May God exalt you, prince

we're far from being ascetics

we are less than that.

Denial of asceticism

means that the asceticism is true.

May our God increase

your good expectations

But everyone is talking about you

Why is our lord silent?

Our lord is fasting from food and speaking

he only speaks by divine permission

As God wills!

As God wills!

Then where are you from?

where you are heading to?

We are on a journey with our lord

we search for our hearts in it

a journey from God to God

Oh God!

I'm very happy with you, from this moment

you will be my guests

until our lord speaks

maybe

I will find my happiness

in our lord’s words

right, lord?

My lord

there are some shepherds outside

wanting to greet the three

ascetics and get their blessings.

Let them in

the lord’s guests

are my guests

Listen

take them to the best rooms

and offer them the best food and drink.

Our lord does not want

to be in a confined place

he only wants to be close to the sky.

As God wills!

As God wills!

This is the true asceticism

the true asceticism.

God bless you, my lord.

What's the holdup?

At this rate, it will

take us months to arrive.

-The load is heavy.

-Wait, wait.

After all, the prince won't be

interested in the ones not so pretty.

You, get down!

You too.

Where are you taking us?

You and your fate, I don't want

to carry unnecessary weight.

-What about us?

-Stay were you are!

Shame on you!

It doesn't matter of you die

-or whatever happens

-Take us with you!

-Shame on you!

-I seek refuge with God!

Isn't it time for you to speak, lord?

It's time.

God is the greatest!

God is the greatest!

It's cold tonight, my lord, the prince

may we light a fire?

Of course.

Light the fire to keep our lord warm.

-My Lord.

-Yes?

The number tonight is greater

for three nights, each night a larger

group comes than the group before

-Not now

-Breaking the heart of a poor man

my lord, the prince, is greater

than breaking his neck.

Fine.

Let them enter quietly and leave quietly

because I have something for our lord.

Your command, my Lord.

For your exoteric to match

your esoteric, my lord, the prince

you must attain righteousness.

Guide me, our lord

how do I attain righteousness?

In the name of God, most

gracious, most merciful

"Never will you attain the righteousness

until you spend from that which you love"

"And whatever you spend"

"indeed, Allah is Knowing of it"

God Almighty is Truthful

What I understand from your words, lord

is that you want money for charity?

No.

I want you to spend from which you love.

You have to give away

your most precious possession.

What is my most precious possession?

The castle.

Your silence was prestigious, my lord.

Nice joke.

No jokes, my lord, the prince.

The castle is truly

your most precious possession

to attain your God's

satisfaction and purify your heart

you must relinquish it to the beloved ones

it's not right for Hassan Al-Sabbah

to take something

with the sword of modesty.

This is the castle's price.

Leave in peace.

Guards surrender arms and

continue to serve us in the castle

so they can reveal the secrets to us.

I think my lord, the prince

is in a better state.

You've experienced Mahdy's generosity

but not his wrath yet.

Guards!

You'll know everything in a moment.

Welcome, beloved ones.

Here is the new Dominion.

Here is the beloved one's

heaven and the enemies' hell.

Here is the new universal order.

There's no room for mistakes.

No one should love himself

more than the objective.

Here is the throne of the

new state that we all serve.

Whoever serves his purpose and desire

has nothing but death in this

world and hell in the hereafter.

Even if that person is me

or one of you, or one of our sons.
