01x09 - Alamut Castle

[bunniefuu]

"No animals were harmed

during filming of this work."

From here, we will rule the world

Then begins the great promise

the promise of victory.

Hassan Al-Sabbah was sentenced to

beheading to be made an example

but he escaped from jail after

his jailer became a devoted follower

at the same time, his followers

and disciples continued to grow

Hassan is a strong man

Prepare yourselves to

be rewarded with heaven

because I herald you.

his words are magical

I am the owner of the key to heaven!

Praise the Lord.

he always knew how to identify

human deficiencies and to fulfill them

You have a sick child.

that way he was able

to gain more and more followers

on Hassan's way to his dawah

Zaid found a plant

he knew from a long time

It's magic plant

It's the plant of the other world

A plant that washes away

any pain or sadness

because of Hassan Al-Sabbah's escape

the Grand Vizier, Nizam Al-Mulk, suffered

many losses before Sultan Malik-Shah

It's hard for me to accept

three mistakes in a row.

and before himself as a minister

of the greatest country on earth

Nizam Al-Mulk was waiting

for the first chance

to eradicate Hassan Al-Sabbah

and his new dawah

as if all obstacles turn into

a paved path in Hassan's dawah

What I understand from your words, lord

is that you want money for charity?

I want you to spend from which you love.

The castle.

The path of dawah which

its beginning was real

was Hassan Al-Sabbah's entry and

capture of the Alamut Castle

and the beginning of formation of an army

of followers, chosen, and fedayeen

Here is the new Dominion.

Who were later named by the public

The Assassins.

"Episode Nine"

"Alamut Castle"

I missed you.

Blessed, our beautiful child.

She was born in difficult circumstances

but she was good omen.

-Khadijah.

-Khadijah.

Isn't it time for you to

be a man and a fighter?

What am I supposed to do?

You're not the one to act.

-Zaid.

-Yes, our Lord.

Hussein ibn Al-Sabbah

the eldest son, beloved one

and the apple of his eye

I want him to be a fierce knight

A terrifying knight that all knights fear.

I'll be responsible for his training.

Not you.

Hussein is going to another castle of ours

to someone who can unleash the

beast within his headstrong mind

Our master

-Why keep him away?

-He's no longer a child.

It's time he becomes self-dependent.

If it wasn't for hunting and your

company, I would have k*lled Nizam Al-Mulk

He's a great minister.

He's the wisdom of the state.

I am tired of his wisdom.

His favors upon me are plentiful.

there's a look in his eyes

between gratitude and obedience

and something else.

As if he wants to say that I wouldn't

have been Sultan without him.

My lord's concern lies

in the state's interest.

as long as he serves the state,

his presence is better than absence.

My lord.

A deer.

Close your eyes,

hunt it down, and win a maid.

Barry.

Barry.

Was it your arrow or mine that hit it?

Definitely yours, my Lord.

My arrow is far weaker.

Oh God.

-How beautiful is hypocrisy of loved ones.

-No, I swear, it's your arrow.

Maybe my prey hasn't come yet.

Barry is yours.

Long live, Long live my lord, the Sultan!

Long live my lord, the Sultan.

Long live!

My lord.

sl*ve dealer is here with his

maids, he brought them for Prince Mahdy.

-Shall we dismiss him?

-Maids?

We should consult

our lord first. Let him wait.

Abolish the castle's main entrance

make it without an entrance.

Without an entrance?

Without a visible entrance.

A hidden entrance, known only to us.

Construct seven fake entrances

-behind it the castle's walls.

-Alright.

About the strange forest

in the back of the castle

I want it to be pruned beautifully.

I want it to be breathtaking.

I want it to be unprecedented to the eyes

A hidden entrance

and breathtaking pruned forest?

The beauty, Amide.

It's as if something

is on our master's mind.

There is maids with

a sl*ve dealer for Prince Mahdy.

Zaid ibn Suhon wouldn't be this

happy unless this is the reason.

-Would you like to see them?

-No.

Take them from him and treat

them well until their time comes.

I want a woman whose

job is to create beauty.

Can beauty be created?

Anything can be created.

I want a private room to be a laboratory.

Where to put the magical,

wondrous plant you brought

Understood.

All of the plant or should

I keep some for myself?

All of it.

You don't need it here.

No one has visited or spoken to us.

That's what scares me the most.

Are you always scared?

Food is coming in and out normally

all our requests are being answered

we must be heading for trouble.

I imagine what the prince

who bought us looks like.

A very handsome young man

or old man?

also very kind.

What do you think?

Naz, do you find it easy to surrender

to anyone you don't know as a maid?

I don't have a choice.

Of course, you have the right to choose

or are you created to be a maid?

What are you created for?

A wife? What's the difference?

On the contrary

being a rich prince's maid

is much better than

being a poor man's wife.

No.

I'd rather be the wife of a poor man

that I love than being the Sultan's maid.

Keep on dreaming then

let me fantasize about

the Prince we never saw.

It's a good news

The first child in the castle.

What about Hussein away from me?

-Good news?

-Of course.

Hussein will return to you a strong man.

A knight fiercer than his father.

Why are you like this, Hassan?

Why to separate us and

keep him away from you?

Because he is stubborn.

He doesn't appreciate the

blessing of being my son.

So you revenge on him?

On the contrary

-I love him.

-Is this love?

Love is making which of you, like you.

-By being distant?

-By any mean.

In this world, we try

all means to reach our goals

or else we end up living

and dying without leaving a trace.

This is the first time I've

been scared of you like this.

Good.

Fear is a sign of love.

-Love and fear can't coexist.

-They can.

Do you believe everyone

around me loves me?

I don't want them to love me

but they're afraid of me.

-Thus, their loyalty is guaranteed

-That's not with family

With everyone.

Wives and children are source of sedition.

It's enough for you that you are

the only one I love and am not afraid of.

If Nizam Al-Mulk is thirsty

we send him water.

-Did you study your lessons?

-Yes.

-How much time do you spend meditating?

-From dawn till forenoon.

What is your purpose in life, Darbas?

To spread the word of truth by any mean

even if it costs my life.

Darbas, our lord did not

choose you to be the chosen

today or a few days ago.

Our lord chose you a long time ago

since you were in the world of Zar

Me?

Yes.

Look at the preserved tablet

in the hands of our lord, the Imam

he pointed to your name and said with

his noble tongue, Darbas is the chosen

whenever I enter upon him

I find his eyes drowned in tears

and his hands raised to the sky

he prays, God, have mercy on your

servant Darbas, accept him and elevate him

He prays for you more

than his own children

That's something strange.

He is the secret of the universe

and the owner of the key to heaven

-I wish to see him.

-It's hard, Darbas, very hard.

We ourselves see him with a permission

-but he informed us about message for you.

-What?

Know that you are

a person of stature and place.

the more you belittle your life

the higher and precious

your status will be.

The dream of heaven!

An Esoteric has infiltrated here, my Lord

in the disguise of a water carrier

and k*lled your personal guard.

From Hassan Al-Sabbah, the

cutter of the path of falsehood

to Al-Tusi, Nizam

Al-Mulk, the traitor of pacts

there's nothing between me and your soul

but the door of your diwan

beware of me!

Take the Esoteric's corpse and

roam around all the streets of Isfahan

burn it in front of the public

to make an example

so everyone will know that this

is the punishment of any Esoteric

who violates the prestige of the state.

As you wish, my lord.

Alinar, a beautiful name

means reasonableness of the mind, right?

It's my name

and my characteristic, my Lord.

You must know, Alinar

that our lord's demands are not simple.

A man's demand is as great as they are.

Our lord wants to create mermaids

just ordinary beautiful girls

transform them into mermaids

in appearance and speech

and in gentleness,

imagination, and everything else.

Our lord's orders are

carried out immediately.

My job and enjoyment in life

is to turn fantasy into reality.

whoever can't accomplish the impossible

must bear the consequences.

Here is the house of secrets

once a secret is revealed

beautiful Alinar

must be ready for the hereafter

reckoning and the torments of hellfire.

Who creates heaven's mermaids

can't possibly be destined for hell.

Our lord awaits the impossible, Alinar.

My lord.

How does our lord know me?

There's no palace from Syria to Morocco

doesn't know Alinar.

More girls.

More sorrow.

Let's have some fun.

Who are you, sweethearts?

-I'm Jouriya.

-I'm Taghreed.

-What about you?

-I'm Maysoun.

I'm Alinar.

Here, my obedience is everything

Are you the maids' leader here?

What's your name, tell me?

I'm Alinar.

As long as you are here,

my obedience is everything

even with obedience and patience

with Alinar, only death awaits you.

You will be thrown from atop of the castle

Understood?

Understood.

Where is the sweet smile?

Your friend has captured

Alamut Castle, Nizam Al-Mulk.

Allow me to command

the fewest soldiers possible

I'll level him

and his castle to the ground.

You couldn't handle him when he

was a prisoner in your jail

can you handle him now when he owns a

castle thousands of miles away from you?

If I fail

you'll find my severed

head delivered to you

as atonement for my sin.

I shouldn't have trusted

you in the first place.

My lord…

Hassan Al-Sabbah is one of those men

whose dangerousness is hard to ignore

I'm waging wars and

striving on several fronts.

I don't want him to be

a dagger in the state's back

Unfortunately, his castle is dangerously

located between us and our enemies

Do you see what you've caused!

I don't want to get myself

involved in a w*r with him.

I want to give him time and a chance.

Either he will retreat, and I make

him as a knight serving the state

or I gain time.

then I can devote myself to

defeating him and his dawah forever.

My lord, but this is not…

Write behind me

from the Sultan of the Muslims, Malik-Shah

to the rouge

Hassan Al-Sabbah

you, Hassan ibn Al-Sabbah

have introduced a new religion

in which you deceive people

and lure them into rebellion

against the guardian of era

you have gathered a group

of ignorant mountain folk

and speak to them

according to their command

so they go and assassinate the innocents

wouldn't you abandon

the way of misguidance?

and leave temptation,

and rejoin the banner of Islam.

I swear

that my armies depend either

on your arrival or your response

have mercy on yourself

and the souls of your followers

don't lead yourself

and them to destruction.

don't be deceived by your castle

even if your castle was a tower

among the towers of the sky

we would demolish its pillars

by the help of God, glory be to him.

This is a clear threat.

Malik-Shah's armies are

among the strongest on earth.

Nizam Al-Mulk's malice has no bounds.

Where is your faith?

Your faith is the strongest army on earth.

The response of

our lord needs consideration.

The whole message is a trap.

Of course.

Write, ibn Suhon.

When I received the Sultan's letter,

I read it fondly and with respect

I raised my head proudly

I hope the Sultan

would listen to what I say

and don’t consult my enemies about it.

especially Nizam Al-Mulk

who mixes truth with

falsehood, and vice verse

My lord, the Sultan

I write to you my condition

regarding what you said

about introducing a new religion

I seek refuge in Gods from that

so I bear witness that

there is no God but Allah

and that Muhammad is his Messenger

as for insulting the

descendants of Al-Abbas

yes

I insult them and express

my contempt for them

because their inception and their end

were built on deception,

trickery, immorality, and vice

starting with their man and leader

Abu Muslim al-Khurasani

whom they have betrayed and shed his blood

and regarding your saying that I deceive

the ignorant and drive them to k*ll people

stop your employees

from oppression, corruption

k*lling women, and plundering men

and I'll stop my men from rescuing

the distressed and repelling injustice

and you've got Nizam Al-Mulk

who plunders the treasuries

of the Islamic nation

and grants it to his family and relatives.

at this times, the oppressed

have nowhere to resort to except

Hassan Al-Sabbah

so prevent the oppression

and Hassan Al-Sabbah will abstain

as for your threat of mobilizing

an army to destroy the castle

God forbid

I am not in a castle to

protect myself from you

but it is a haven and solitude

I use it to ward off the evil of enemies

if it wasn't for

your oppressive minister

who wants to oppress me and shed my blood

I would have come to you

obedient

and an adviser and consultant

as for your saying about my

residence being the tower of the sky

you would have demolished it

I would say I live

in this residence by a promise

from the guardian of time and its Imam

the castle will remain firm in

our hands until God's decree befalls it

My lord

get rid of the evil of the oppressors

and rescue God's servants from them

a time will come when

a just ruler will appear

who will liberate Muslims from injustice

and peace be upon those

who follow the guidance.

Hassan ibn Al-Sabbah

Cunning devil!

He unveils something

different from what he conceals

So, they're Muslims and

we're the disbelievers, my lord

we are the oppressors

and they're the righteous.

But he still obeys us.

He won't deviate from obedience soon

that's what I need from him.

I didn't think that you

took over the castle

so you could live like

princes and have maids

I believed that you were trying

to achieve your great dreams

not your desires, Hassan.

I still need twenty like them.

Oh!

It's as if I'm talking

to the Abbasid Caliph

It's as if you don't know me.

Hassan Al-Sabah's love

for his dream and goal

is greater than his love for women

greater than his love for anything

even my love for you, Donia

isn't like my love for it.

What are these maids for, then?

So that Al-Sabbah would be in a good mood?

They aren't for me, Donia Zad.

I have no purpose in them at all

these are for something

you'll find out over time.

I've become a mother of three

and Hassan renounced Donia Zad

Hassan renounces everything

except his lover.

Then tell me, what's your purpose?

When it's completed.

How's the lover doing?

I'm lazy, yawning and I want to sleep.

Oh, you silly, you indulged in love.

It was the love that indulged me.

-Imitate Nizam Al-Mulk.

-As you command, my Lord.

Hurry up!

If my Lord is late, I won't

be able to imitate Nizam Al-Mulk

He takes his time, you know.

-Shall I continue?

-Continue.

My lord, the matter

requires thoughtful planning

planning

requires thinking

and thinking requires a minister

which is me.

-Shall I continue, my lord?

-No.

Go sleep.

God granted victory to my Lord,

the Sultan in the w*r against Georgia.

Who is the Sultan, Zaid?

Many

nothing in the world is more

abundant than the Sultans.

Like who?

sleeping is a Sultan

love is a Sultan

power and money are a Sultan

Malik-Shah is a Sultan.

Who has Sultan over everything?

Our Lord knows best.

Faith.

Faith which makes all

things you mentioned Sultans

a deep faith

that allows you to move everything.

Many people used to

have strong, deep faith

were defeated and died under the

hooves of people with lesser faith.

That's true

but that's what oppressors

write in their books

but the oppressed on his cross is

stronger than the one who crucified him

lives in people's hearts as a hero

the defeated, if they are

right, will win over time

even if it takes a thousand years

do you know why?

because the believer

in something has an idea

the idea can live longer than its owner

As if the owner of the idea is immortal

immortal does not die, Zaid.

Immortality is something that

preoccupies the minds of the insane

and the great and the heroes.

Well, the great and the

heroes are also insane, Zaid.

A free madman is

better than a sensible follower.

There are ordinary people

they are the majority

but there are people who are different

people whom God allowed

to defy the impossible

people who can manipulate

others' spirits as they wish.

Like our lord.

The Sultan.

It is time to send

the new message to the Sultan.

Praise be to God for the victory my Lord.

The w*r on Georgia was

difficult and exhausting.

Victory is always the ally of my Lord.

It is by God's grace.

My Lord is concerned

victorious and concerned?

The Abbasid Caliph is treating

my daughter in an unacceptable manner

A treatment that involves

hitting, insulting and bad manners

These are household secrets

between a husband and wife, my Lord.

The Sultan's daughter

should never be insulted!

Allow me to meet the Caliph

to understand and advise him.

The time for advice has passed

My daughter will be here

in the palace as soon as possible

then I will go to him in Baghdad.

Do not tear down the wall

between us and the Caliphate, my Lord.

You seem to have forgotten, minister

The preservation of the Caliphate

depended on our blood and our arms

responding to it with insult can

only be rectified with punishment

-My Lord…

-I am not consulting you

I have made my decision!

My Lord's army is scattered

between Aleppo and Georgia

Hassan Al-Sabbah is lying

in wait for you in his castle…

Hassan Al-Sabbah! Hassan Al-Sabbah!

Do you want me to

postpone my personal revenge

because you're fixated on Hassan Al-Sabbah

Hassan Al-Sabbah is not a threat

Hassan Al-Sabbah isn't a threat to

Nizam Al-Mulk alone, my Lord

Hassan Al-Sabbah is a threat

to the entire Sultanate

In an instant, he could ally

with the Byzantines against you.

I do not want to hear Hassan

Al-Sabbah's name again!

The public found him

thrown in the streets.

From Hassan Al-Sabbah

to Sultan Malik-Shah

we k*lled the King's

jester and his companion

to let him know

that the time for laughter has passed

and the time for seriousness has arrived.

If you lift the oppression

and keep Nizam Al-Mulk's evil

away from people

our pledge shall continue

The danger of Hassan Al-Sabbah

is closer than my lord thinks.

Prepare a campaign to

bring Hassan Al-Sabbah

and his followers to the Sultan's court!

As you command, my lord.

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

-God is Greatest!

I stand among you today

to remind you that you

are the Sword of Islam

to remind you that you are

the strongest armies on earth

You are the army of our lord, the Sultan

and his strong arm

you are going out to fight falsehood

and heresies

you are the army of Islam

in the face of a false sect

we called them the Esoteric

because they show

the opposite of what they conceal

they show Islam

and they conceal a corrupt faith

made up

they are led by a devil

who controls their minds with illusions

he deludes them

that he's the owner of the key to heaven

he deludes them that he is a prophet

or demigod

maybe more

Come on, Soldiers of God!

March!

March, upon the blessing of God!

Our master! Our master!

Our master!

Malik-Shah's army is one

night away from the castle!

Be reassured!
