Whoever of us reaches

a position of power or influence

Whoever of us reaches

a position of power or influence

will help the other two

A pact that transcends any

disagreement or school of thought

A pact that transcends any

disagreement or school of thought

This was the pact of

Hassan Al-Sabbah and Omar Khayyam

and Abu Ali Al-Tusi, Nizam Al-Mulk

Nizam Al-Mulk became the state minister

My lord, the Sultan

and helped Omar Khayyam

to lead a comfortable life

through which he provided the country

with his ideas, knowledge and philosophy

and gave Hassan Al-Sabbah

even more than that

making him an employee

in the world Sultan's and

house of the Sultanate's secret

but Hassan breached the pact

and decided to k*ll the Abbasid Caliph

and the act that you're about to

carry out is the most noble ever

since my dawah commenced.

He enlisted a young man

who believes in his dawah

You will k*ll the Abbasid Caliph

-Nour Barek.

-Me?

You'll be the performer of

the most noble act in history

Imagine the great honor!

Luck is not always on Hassan's side

Nizam Al-Mulk discovered the whole plan

and captured Nour Barek

and after t*rture and threats

Nour Barek confessed Hassan's scheme

so that friends could meet again

but in a poor cell in the Sultan's prison

You think you can destroy the

most powerful state on your own

If there were three like Hassan Al-Sabbah

there would not be a state like yours

there would not be a state like yours

Your head will roam

in the streets of Isfahan.

and the traitor

must die

on a spear

even if he was a lifelong friend.

"Episode Seven"

"Prison Guard"

Come on, hurry up.

Let's wait for my father.

Your father is the one who told me

If he's late tonight, we'll

leave as quickly as possible

To where?

-You'll know.

-What about our things?

We matter most, so we'll move lightly.

Come on, hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Come on. Let's go.

-What's this vault?

-Come on, dears.

Almost there, without haste.

Step up your efforts, let's go.

We're almost there.

Let's go.

Come on, Hussein.

Let's go, Mansour.

Where is Hassan?

In the oppressor's prison

but may God protect our lord.

Mansour, be careful while

you walk along the path

Our lord said that our lady is pregnant.

Got it.

As if I've known you for years.

What are you?

How are you still calm and

smiling with all this t*rture?

You are charged with all this t*rture

Your hand strikes

yet your heart is full of compassion.

What compassion?

I strike you with all my strength.

But You're oppressed like me

an oppressed can never hurt another

oppressed, no matter what they do.

an oppressed can never hurt another

oppressed, no matter what they do.

Who's the oppressed?

You are.

Those who lack your competence,

sincerity, and knowledge

will always find them ranked above you

-This is the way of the oppressors.

-Enough!

The one giving you orders is ignorant

your life will be wasted

at the hands of the oppressors

your life will be wasted

at the hands of the oppressors

living as an executioner of the oppressed

dies as if you had never lived

without even making a mark in life.

Don't worry!

Don't worry!

Don't worry, there's no pain.

Barzak!

How did you know my name?

When the truth passes through

the hearts of the oppressors

When the truth passes through

the hearts of the oppressors

they fear

but when it passes through

the hearts of the oppressed

-they become stronger.

-Aren't you afraid of pain, and torment?

The physical pain

is the mildest type of pain

but the soul's pain is tough.

Pray for me.

You cried until your tears dried up

eat, drink and be patient with God's will.

I'm scared and terrified

what will they do to us?

Open up!

Listen to me, girls

beauty

is expensive

if I were you

I would eat and drink

and smile

so the beauty would appear

so the beauty would appear

and the rest depends on your luck

you'll either be a maid for a prince

-or you'll be a maid for a shoemaker.

-What maid!

-I am free, and daughter of free parents.

-What!

Free!

yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh Shar, from whom did you hear

the word "free" before? yes, remembered

she was exquisite

but I made a big mistake

I gouged out her eyes

do you know why?

because she said to me, I'm free

because she said to me, I'm free

do you hear me?

O you with the beautiful eyes

what a shame on blindness.

Do you hear me?

Yes, I do.

Make her take a shower

dress her up

the merchant is coming tomorrow

if you didn’t get me the highest price

I don't know what to do with you!

In the name of God.

There is no power and no strength except

with God, the Most High, the Most Great

I seek forgiveness from God, and I repent

to Him. Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers

Give it to me my Lord.

No one lifts my burden but me.

I deserve it the most.

As you wish.

What’s the matter, Yahya?

I feel like you're carrying a lot inside

I feel like you're carrying a lot inside

and you can't express it.

How can a person, after you

house him and let him into your home

stab you in the back and betray you?

You mean the one who k*lled your father.

-May Allah have mercy on him.

-May Allah have mercy on him

He was a Esoteric, wasn't he?

Even if he was Esoteric

No school of thought

justifies betrayal and treachery.

You are right.

but you don't know how

the binding in Esoteric works

compliance and obedience

is an absolute must

compliance and obedience

is an absolute must

and whoever deviates

from this Esoteric binding

becomes a disbeliever

and they deem shedding his blood

and taking his money permissible

for this reason, he did the deed he did

while he thinks he's right.

Be strong.

Come on.

Go bring the rest of the carpets.

Your brothers are due for the lesson.

I seek forgiveness from Almighty God.

The Minister informs you to

increase the guard at the prison gate.

I don't want any slackening, Barzak.

You more worthy of this position.

Stop, stop.

Wait! Where are you going?

I'll k*ll you, if you do this again.

Throw her in the car!

We'll take a different

route before the sun sets.

Move!

A girl who has lived all

her life in her parent's house.

Where could she have gone,

if she ran away on a horse?

It's not about distances or the route

It's about what she'll

encounter on her journey.

What will she encounter

other than everything evil!

-She would've returned, if it was good.

-Yahya.

We must return.

We're soldiers, we can't

be late any longer.

I will drink wine at night

and enrich myself with my cup

And I will rid myself

of disbelief and religion

I asked time's bride, what is your dowry?

-She said, my dowry is…

-Doesn't intend for the meaning, my lord.

Do not intend for the meaning

Your matter is confusing, Khayyam

Everyone's matter is puzzling, my lord.

A distinguished scholar

your knowledge has aided the

state in astronomy and algebra

but I have been told

that you are not a believer.

Not believing in what?

That is the question

Omar, personally

Omar, the poet is enough for me

the scholar

but

I received some words from some scholars

this is what made me

ask, and it is not a trial

but an attempt to understand

because I love you.

The whole life is not enough for

mankind's attempt to understand.

Long-lasting friendship

between me and Omar, my lord

and I still do not understand him.

Is Omar Khayyam

a believer in life after death?

in the resurrection and the reckoning?

Omar Khayyam

every moment is in heaven and hell

It's very easy to say that I'm believer

and exonerate myself from the accusation

it's also easy to say

that I'm not a believer

and take advantage of

your kindness and protection

but is Omar Khayyam really

A believer in the resurrection,

heaven and hell?

I don't know.

You don't know!

Faith requires certainty

and disbelief requires certainty

and Omar, my lord

and Omar, my lord

Omar is too weak

to have any certainty.

Let me say it more clearly

-Do you believe in the existence of God?

-Of course.

I certainly believe in God

but will he judge me by my faith

or my actions,

my thoughts and apprehensions

and my suspicions?

I am not one person,

I am a group of people

among them is Omar

the believer with strong faith

and Omar filled with doubt

and Omar the denier

the ascetic and the hedonist

their existence sometimes

at the same time is

-k*lling for Omar.

-In my opinion, my lord, Omar

he's with strong faith

but he's also

‫He is keen on investigating

about the truth.

Perhaps he is caught in the snare of doubt

Perhaps he is caught in the snare of doubt

and the certainty of faith.

It's nice

and I appreciate the discussion about it

but beware of the common people

also beware of scholars who do not

have a open mindedness like me

personally, I love you, Omar

but the matter has spread

everyone is talking about it

I will remain neutral

I will leave you to them

to hold you accountable

either convince them

or they will establish

the argument against you

or they will establish

the argument against you

or you can escape.

Why you in a hurry for death?

Eat.

In two days, your head

will wander Isfahan alone.

I'm fasting.

Fasting every day?

You'll die like this.

You'll ruin the joy of Nizam Al-Mulk

by cutting your head off.

I won't die

and my head will not be cut off.

How come you will not die and

your head will not be cut off?

Because I know when

and where I will die.

Because I know when

and where I will die.

So, you know who will k*ll you?

I have orders to be the one

to separate your head from your body.

Barzak Amide will not cut

off Hassan Al-Sabbah's head.

Why not?

Couldn't you believe me

and sacrifice yourself for me?

You're either crazy

or you're not human.

You know I pray for you

I pray for you with every

whip strike on my body.

What do you pray for?

For livelihood

For livelihood

and livelihood has different kinds

The highest is soul's livelihood

bestow your soul the happiness.

and the least is

simple material livelihood

for example, a golden dinar

under your foot

for my love for you.

As I said from the beginning

no pacts are maintained.

Who breached the pact?

Me or him?

It doesn't matter

what matters is that the pact was breached

A malicious Esoteric

He’s plotting to k*ll the Caliph.

He has no right.

Death rules over all

on the Caliph, the Sultan

on friendship and everything.

I who brought him

closer to the Sultan, Omar

I gave him authority

no one had before him.

Being closer to the Sultan is nothing

but a step closer to the slaughter.

Your responses are strange.

What did you want me to do?

Reward him for his betrayal?

Al-Tusi, friend of youth and adolescence

does what makes him feel at ease.

Of course, at ease

and will even be more comfortable

with his head cut off and hung on a spear

being roamed around all

the streets of Isfahan.

What's the use of beheading

if the body is dead?

-The lesson.

-What lesson?

Three swore on brotherhood and loyalty

one of them beheaded the other

and hung his head on a spear

and invited the third to

witness joy and happiness.

and invited the third to

witness joy and happiness.

No pact is above the state prestige

There's no pact at all, Tusi.

Get going, Tusi.

I won't be able to see

my friend's moment of joy

by beheading his treacherous friend.

I never knew your position towards me?

or towards life?

or towards the world?

or towards religion?

Don't you see what

I gained from this world?

Don't you see what

I gained from this world?

Nothing.

What was my harvest

for all these years?

Nothing.

I am the candle of joy but

when I dimmed, I became nothing.

I am

A shining cup

when I shattered, I became nothing.

You are a thief.

-My leader…

-Don't approach.

Don't overstep your rank or your position.

Don't worry!

Don't worry!

I freed you from your

prison, so you found me.

Don't worry!

Naz

do me a favor.

What favor?

-k*ll me.

-What?

-k*ll me.

-What?

Are you insane!

I must die before we reach the market.

I can't be passed from a man to man.

Do whatever you want, far from me.

Nourhan!

What you're doing will

also lead to my death.

Give me that.

Yesterday's friend is today's enemy

that's the wisdom

from the story of

Nizam Al-Mulk and Hassan Al-Sabbah.

My lord

I apologize

I ask for your forgiveness and tolerance?

You have many situations that

let me to forgive and forget.

All gratitude and recognition, my lord.

All gratitude and recognition, my lord.

But it's true, Nizam Al-Mulk

that you are the one who handles

country's affairs during the time of Jihad

without referring to

your lord, the Sultan?

My lord knows

that these are word of mouth and biased

and indeed, you are

the Sultan of all Sultans

and capable of governing

the Sultan himself

because thanks to you

he claimed the throne?

If my loyalty was to myself

my path would’ve proved that

My allegiance is

to the Seljuk state, my lord

I am a loyal servant to the state

I am a servant to it

more than my service to

my children and my family

out of conviction and certainty

and not out of weakness

or flattery

Not out of weakness

so, are you stronger than the state

and the sultanate, Nizam Al-Mulk?

If it's in the state's interest in

shedding the blood of Nizam Al-Mulk

If it's in the state's interest in

shedding the blood of Nizam Al-Mulk

I would not hesitate for a moment

I’m not really weak

I am strong

because I serve

the strongest state on earth

my power comes from its power.

Alright.

Alright, Nizam Al-Mulk.

When's the spectacle

of beheading your friend?

I mean, your enemy.

God willing, tomorrow at noon

God willing, tomorrow at noon

in the large square.

I wish he had k*lled the Abbasid Caliph

He would have done

something to make me happy

and not brought blame upon me.

You get out to the large square

in Isfahan tomorrow at noon

And your head, beheading

it and hanging it on a spear

Maybe.

These are the orders of the Grand Vizier.

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

Today is the last night

before my beheading

I want to stay up late

and tell you stories

Beheading tomorrow, and you want stories?

The time of dawn is a time for pledges

when we emerge from darkness into light

the time has come for

you to choose, Amide.

Choose what?

They are two paths with no third

the path of heaven with

Hassan Al-Sabbah and his loved ones

or the path of hell with

Nizam Al-Mulk and the Sultan

or the path of hell with

Nizam Al-Mulk and the Sultan

in both cases, I would respect your choice

and pray for you.

Don't worry!

What are you doing! Traitor!

Rebellion in the prison!

Barzak Amide

the sincere honest one

one of the three who

will be the reason justice prevails

and we three drive away

the oppression from the whole world.

But there's only two of us.

More!

May God exalt our lord.

Association of dawah.

Thus the eagle has two wings

Thus the eagle has two wings

The nest is all that's left.

The eagle's nest.

"Where has Hassan Al-Sabbah gone?"
