The 11th century and the emergence of the leader of the El Hashaashun group, Hassan Al Sabah

01x26 - The Castle's Heir

Post by bunniefuu »

A long journey from

youth to manhood.

A long journey from

youth to manhood.

Passed by Hassan, heralding

his call and message.

His message, which he

sent to the world,

As a message

against injustice and corruption.

And since the course of life eventually

requires that every living being dies,

Who leads the

believers after me?

But after the death

of Hassan Al-Sabbah,

Who will be his successor?

Hussein was k*lled,

And Al-Hadi

Betrayed him.

And now I am preparing you to

be Hassan Al-Sabbah's successor.

And now I am preparing you to

be Hassan Al-Sabbah's successor.

Then you helped your mother to run away!

I don't want you.

I don't want to be

your successor!

Who will rule Alamut Castle

after Hassan Al-Sabbah?

Years of life have passed

inside the castle, Barzak.

Our master's achievements

inside the castle

Could not be accomplished

by a Sultan or Khalifa.

Hassan became alone in the

castle as if he was imprisoned.

I want to breathe.

I want to smell

the world outside Alamut Castle.

The time has come,

The time has come,

For the terrifying, fearful

inhabitant of the castle to leave

Without his chosen people,

Or his men.

Will you give me your

daughter in marriage?

Why did you choose a

shepherd's daughter?

I heard that the daughters of the

desert and shepherds are strong.

I heard that the daughters of the

desert and shepherds are strong.

And you want a son from me?

I want a strong son from you.

Didn't you have sons before?

I had two.

One died, and the other is alive.

And where is their mother?

Far away.

From your heart or your place?

From my place.

And your heart.

Nobody lives in it but her.

Then why did you marry me?

I imprisoned myself for years,

Decided to get out, see the

world outside, and marry again.

Imprisoned yourself?

What is your occupation?

I'm a guardian at

the door of heaven,

And sometimes a

guardian at the door of hell.

You are underestimating

a shepherd's mind.

But that is actually my job.

But that is actually my job.

Some people call me a devil.

And others call me an

Imam, calling for justice.

Which one are you?

Imam or devil?

I am Hassan,

Who walked a long path and is still able

to walk as much if it achieves his dream.

A dream for which he lost

his most precious people,

His son,

His wife and his friends,

And he is still pursuing it.

But a dream that causes you to

lose all your loved ones isn't a dream.

But a dream that causes you to

lose all your loved ones isn't a dream.

That's a nightmare.

Big dreams, Badr

Can only be achieved

if you're alone.

And what is the dream?

What is a man's dream other

than to have children, good living

And a peaceful day?

That is not a man's dream.

That's a dream of any

sheep you shepherd.

The sheep's dream is simple.

That's why it has to stay

among the herd to survive.

That's why it has to stay

among the herd to survive.

And every man fits his dream.

And what's your dream?

To be one of the Sultan's soldiers?

Or a servant

in the Caliph's palace?

Or a follower of the crazy

man living in the castle?

Greater than all of that.

You're really beautiful, Badr!

But your heart will never love

me like the mother of your children.

Doniazad has no equal.

And me?

You are Badr.

The beautiful girl who could

potentially be the mother to a strong son.

Just that?

Just that.

I request permission from my lady

To return to my old

home in Isfahan with my daughter.

It's a huge risk for you.

Have you forgotten

whose wife you are?

I have not.

But I want to feel more free.

But I want to feel more free.

No, Donia

You have another purpose.

Because here I can

provide more security for you.

There I can expose him more.

I'll be able to talk to the women

about the truth of Hassan Al-Sabbah.

And save many souls from his evil.

This is not just an escape

It's revenge.

My son's blood is on his hands.

Okay.

I will ask for permission

from our master.

And there will be

guards at your house.

It's a time of turmoil.

This is my time.

Time to reveal myself to

people and speak to them.

And to save their souls

from misguidedness.

Are you following

their school of thought?

Evil is not in the schools of thought.

Evil lies in how we explain

the school of thought, my lady.

I believed Hassan Al-Sabbah

more than I believed myself.

I believed Hassan Al-Sabbah

more than I believed myself.

He became my school

of thought and religion.

When I saw the truth, I

realized that he worships himself.

And that his school of

thought is that of Al-Sabbah.

It's as if you're a scholar

in your school of thought.

All thanks to Al-Sabbah.

It was the devil who

taught me faith, my lady.

There's not a book Hassan

read that I have not read.

There's not a book Hassan

read that I have not read.

There's not an idea.

That crossed his mind that

has not crossed mine, too.

I was his lover and his wife.

And his follower.

Congratulations, Yahya.

Thank you, thank you.

I know you wanted me to

be the first man you touch.

And I know it was

against your will.

You were forced to be a

virgin in the dream of heaven.

Against your will.

You are my honor, Nourhan.

The pure white dress

that nothing can stain.

You are my father and my mother.

Their souls returned in your

eyes to complete my joy.

All this went through your heart,

Yahya. Yet you still see me as I am?

No one touched me, Yahya.

I suffered for many years.

I faced death more

than once to remain free.

I faced death more

than once to remain free.

But I was sure you would return.

And what's the point

crying and suffering?

I just can't believe we're

finally in the same house.

We are finally in the

same house, Nourhan.

But do you know what's

really bothering me?

What?

That your mother sent

us only one chicken.

Here's a summary of the messages

from the King of the Franks.

You know those who

don't pay the tribute,

Their commanders or perhaps two

of their army officers are k*lled.

And those who pay more,

We may even help them.

Help them!

Help them!

How, our master?

We may even k*ll their

enemies' commanders.

We may intercept

their trade routes.

No matter where they are.

No matter which country

they pass through.

This way we'll be in conflicts

with more than one party.

We're not prepared for that.

We have a way

of dealing with such situations.

If our master was here,

He might have a different opinion.

The old ways must change.

I'm pregnant.

A strong boy.

God knows.

I'm certain it's a strong boy.

Are you happy?

Beyond what you can imagine.

The time has come.

Time for what?

Now you understand the purpose

of the meeting and the journey.

What is it?

The boy!

What are you doing?

Returning to the castle.

And you'll wait here.

Wait for what? And which castle?

Are you a follower

of the castle's ruler?

I am him.

I am Hassan Al-Sabbah.

And the mission is accomplished,

the strong boy remains in your womb.

And he will be an

Imam for the entire world.

I don't understand.

Give him birth and raise him in the

desert, he'll be a strong and fierce boy.

And as soon as he becomes a

man, send him to Alamut Castle.

With this ring.

With this ring.

Whether I'm alive or a martyr.

And he will take

my place and position.

And don't worry,

I won't abandon you.

I will send you enough money.

This is madness!

It's not madness.

It's a future I foresee.

Then take me with you.

Take me to the castle with you.

I am your wife.

My wife is Doniazad.

My wife is Doniazad.

I am just like her!

I am your wife too.

You are only the mother of the boy.

Keep the secret and the trust.

The sheikh's wife is

back again, just like that!

There must be a secret!

Yes.

Or she came back to hide here.

To create a big trouble

for Hassan Al-Sabbah.

What mission did he give you?

To burn Isfahan?

Same as Al-Sabbah’s deeds.

The same Misguidance.

The same Misguidance.

I believed in Hassan

Al-Sabbah and loved him.

But he doesn't love

anyone but himself.

And to be the owner

of the key to Heaven.

Hassan k*lled his son to make

people around him believe in him.

He worships himself.

His school of thought

is the that of Al-Sabbah.

So don't believe his

words or his miracles.

Because he sends your sons to Hell.

And I'm not like Hassan Al-Sabbah.

God has removed the

blindness from my sight.

God has removed the

blindness from my sight.

And he fell into his own trap.

And I declare it in front of you.

I am Doniazad, a

believer in our Imam.

And a disbeliever

in Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Khadijah!

What's wrong?

I hate you. Stay

away from me, stay away!

Why all of this?

What have I done to upset you?

You’re disrespecting my father and

telling people horrible things about him!

I hate you and I love him.

I'm sorry.

And I love you.

And I said I hate you.

Your father is a tyrant.

My father is great.

My father is great.

Khadijah!

Your father k*lled your brother.

This is my father and I

love him no matter what he does.

- Please, calm down, darling.

- I said stay away!

May God protect our master, Hassan

Al-Sabbah, holder of the keys to heaven.

What the lady did,

was far more important

than what the minister did.

Murders and chaos have lessened.

Her words had a great impact.

God save you from a woman's

wrath when she's scorned.

A woman is a beautiful

and gentle creature,

until she is betrayed or insulted.

Then she can shake

the sultan's throne.

Your plot is indeed great.

And our kindness is greater!

And what guarantees the

continuity of this kindness, my lady?

Security.

A woman's ultimate

goal is security.

And her man is her safety.

If she doesn't find security

with him, then where will she go?

A wound has no remedy except a one greater

than that which robbed her of her security.

May God save us from

the harm of a wounded woman.

And the harm of a treacherous man.

our master.

I wanted to check on Al-Hadi.

We haven't heard

about him for days.

And he's been getting food

and drink every two day.

And he's been getting food

and drink every two day.

I am worried about him.

Are you more worried

about him than me?

I beg your pardon, master.

But Al-Hadi is a young man.

I am afraid his

imprisonment might last long.

Al-Hadi stays there until our

master commands otherwise.

Our leader has

been secluded for days.

And the talks about his absolute

absence starts to increase.

I am not talking about

the young followers.

I'm talking about

the senior preachers.

Tell them that our master is here,

That this is a test about his

obedience in his absence.

That this is a test about his

obedience in his absence.

Tell them he's giving me the

orders I am relaying to you.

As you wish, my master.

And regarding Al-Hadi?

Tell his guard to double his food.

What did he say?

Something not understandable.

I fear

that he may have done

something unforgivable.

Time will tell.

Bring Al-Hadi's guard to me.

So, you're not sitting with me,

nor looking at me,

nor talking to me.

I was thinking of my grave, Sahban.

Your grave!

Its place, its shape,

and what's planted beside it.

And why this topic?

You should think about the home

where you will continue the rest in.

You should think about the home

where you will continue the rest in.

We spend years in

the homes of this world,

And we'll be forever in the grave.

What conclusion have you

reached about your grave?

First, it should be

in a beautiful place.

Peaceful.

Not in Isfahan,

nor Tous, nor Samarkand.

I personally want to

be buried in the spa.

My grave will be in Neyshabur.

Next to a garden

with roses and trees.

And wonderful fragrances

Carried by the breeze of the north.

Every spring,

Omar Khayyam's grave

becomes a paradise,

Filled with all kinds of roses

and beautiful fragrances.

Then, you will be

dust and won't feel anything!

You are talking

about the body, masseur,

Not the soul.

Do you know what we are?

I am masseur and I know.

The truth.

What is our truth?

What?

A pure soul

A pure soul

With an immense light.

Capable of the impossible.

But all this beautiful energy

Is trapped inside a block of dust.

A tiny, narrow maze.

With lusts, instincts,

and degenerate desires.

If this block of dust,

With its instincts and lusts,

Can darken the soul, and

the light that's within,

Then the human

Is but a dead animal.

Even if they appear alive.

Even if they appear alive.

Do you understand?

No!

And I can't understand.

Sometimes, I think

you're a heretic!

Sometimes, I think you're

worshipping the moment you're living.

And sometimes, I feel

you're a wise scholar.

What are you?

What am I?

I am Omar Khayyam,

Lost between clear fantasy

And confused illusion.

I composed the

traits of conscience.

Then how to punish a

conscience you formed!

And how to destroy it a complete!

Or to see a lack

In a conscience you portrayed.

Oh God.

What is all of this!

And you will still see the glory and

fortune like you've never seen before.

How?

You will go to the

gate of Almut castle.

And scream at the top of your

lungs, order the guards to open the gate.

And tell them with full confidence,

I am your master, Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Hassan Al-Sabbah!

And how will they

believe me in this form,

while I am a drunken lowlife?

I will give you my clothes,

and take your ragged ones.

The essence of justice.

And after I scream

And tell them that I am your

master, Hasan Al-Sabbah?

The gates of bliss

will open for you.

But

But

If they discover my

truth inside the castel.

They'll k*ll me.

No, No

No, No I don't want to die.

You won't have time to be k*lled.

Because you'll meet

the real Hassan Al-Sabbah,

Who very much enjoys those

who pretend to be him.

He will honor you

with amazing gifts,

And laugh at your

sight and set you free.

And he'll change clothes?

Immediately!

So, change out of

these shameful clothes,

So, change out of

these shameful clothes,

And prepare yourself, Hamdan,

for the clothes of the greats.

Guards!

Open the gates!

I am your master, Hassan Al-Sabbah!

The holder of the key to heaven.

As for the characteristics

of the struggle,

They are for the learned

not to swear by Allah Almighty,

Whether honestly or dishonestly.

And to keep his promise.

And to refrain from

cursing anything.

And to hold his hand

from God's creatures.

And to avoid invoking

God's wrath on anyone.

And not to bear witness against

any of the people of Qibla.

And not to bear witness against

any of the people of Qibla.

Take your place, Yahya.

And to refrain from

Bearing witness against any

of the Qibla people

Of disbelief.

Or hypocrisy.

This is nearer to mercy.

And Morality.

And avoiding looking at sins.

And not to rely on the created.

And not to rely on the created.

But

To rely on the Creator.

In the name of Allah

the Merciful and there is

no power except with the

Exalted and Great Allah.

In the name of Allah.

Where is the talks about fighting

against the corrupt ideas, our master

And cursing the oppressor

and condemning the oppressors?

lestin,

If you fix yourself

God will fix through

you everyone around you.

But we are in a time of turmoil

and the enemies are everywhere.

But we are in a time of turmoil

and the enemies are everywhere.

Then it must be the

time of self-struggling.

And struggling with self

Is the greatest form of Jihad.

And the fight against the

disbelievers and the wrongdoers?

And, verily, God will

help those who help Him.

I believe,

If you help God against yourself, God

will help you against whoever opposes you.

Even if they were

all the people on Earth.

Come on, Come on.

Thank God for the

safe arrival of our master.

Stand up because there is an important

spiritual journey that believers must know.

Stand up because there is an important

spiritual journey that believers must know.

And there are great

messages from heaven.

Foretelling the birth of a new

era for Alamut's castle and its master.

I've done this because I love you.

So you can bear and

withstand what's coming.

My dominance is

the sign of affection.

And my harshness is mercy.

I don’t need your mercy!

Prepare and bathe yourself.

Eat and drink.

Tomorrow is the

most significant day.

Tomorrow is the

most significant day.

In the life of our master,

Al-Hadi son of Hassan Al-Sabbah.

In the name of God and blessings and peace

upon his Messenger, and upon his family.

And peace upon our master, the

hidden Imam Nizar, peace be upon him.

As for what follows.

Our Lord Joseph was the

bearer of Lord Jacob's secret.

And our household.

They are the heirs

to the great secret.

The secret of Hassan Al-Sabbah, the

holder of the key to heaven.

Is in the soul, heart, and chest.

Of Al-Hadi son of Hassan Al-Sabbah.

I stand before you, to

declare him my successor.

The holder of my place and status, and

the holder of the key of heaven after me.

He possesses absolute

authority and superior light.

And I have seen wonders from him.

And I have seen the angels

greet him and teach him knowledge.

And I was informed by our

master, the Imam, peace be upon him.

That he is the Imam after me.

You owe him complete obedience.

In all aspects of your

worldly and religious affairs.

From now on and for

as long as Allah wills.

From now on and for

as long as Allah wills.

Stand up and pledge

your allegiance to your leader.

All obedience to you

until the Day of Judgement.

My master and son of my master.

Master Al-Hadi.

I am just Al-Hadi, Barzak.

To you, complete obedience

and love, my master.

You are our master's son.

Your virtue is upon us all.

You are his secret.

I'm not sure if this is something

to rejoice or to worry about.

Rejoice, my master.

Rejoice, my master.

You are the master,

son of the great master.

You are our master.

And I am the humble servant.
