01x10 - Castle siege

[bunniefuu]

The Sultan, Malik-Shah's army

is one night away from the castle

The Sultan, Malik-Shah's army

is one night away from the castle

Hassan has taken over the Alamut Castle

turned it into a fortified fortress

no one can access it

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?

Castle atop a high mountain, too difficult

to as*ault or target with a catapult

or by elite squad of soldiers

an invincible castle

within it chosen ones and warriors

who don't fear death or pain

and are prepared to die for their master

and are prepared to die for their master

Hassan Al-Sabbah

Hassan began to become

brutal within the Seljuk State

and began to send the chosen ones and

fedayeen to k*ll Sultan Malik-Shah's men

and the state's

Grand Vizier, Nizam Al-Mulk

Hassan Al-Sabbah isn't a threat

to Nizam Al-Mulk alone, my Lord

Hassan Al-Sabbah is

a threat to the entire Sultanate.

A form of intimidation

and self-affirmation

asserting that atop mountain Alamut

resides a strong man

capable of changing the entire world

capable of changing the entire world

while he's in his place

letters and correspondences between

Hassan Al-Sabbah and the Sultan

could not extinguish

the flames of w*r between them

Prepare a campaign to

bring Hassan Al-Sabbah

and his followers to the Sultan's court!

and indeed

The Sultan launched a massive campaign

to besiege Alamut Castle

and to surround Hassan Al-Sabbah

The Sultan Malik-Shah's armies

are among the strongest on earth.

Where is your faith?

Your faith is the strongest army on earth.

A significant test

You are going out to fight falsehood

and heresies

you are the army of Islam

in the face of a false sect.

A true test of Hassan Al-Sabbah’s power

An existential test of

his existence and his dawah

Be reassured!

"Episode Ten"

"Siege of the Castle"

The siege doesn't alter

anything within the castle

the believers continue their

lessons, prayers, and fasting

nothing will halt or be delayed.

From where does our

master derive this confidence?

I closed my eyes and saw

he opened the door, and with my own feet,

I stepped into the house of the future

I am over there now, and you are here

from over there, I see myself

standing among you two atop the castle

there is no army besieging Alamut.

Of course, you don't know who I am

I am Arslan Tash

leader of our lord,

the Sultan Malik-Shah's campaign.

against the rouge in Alamut Castle

and you are the leaders of

shepherds and tribes here

I always prefer to begin my speech

with politeness and good manners

I always prefer to begin my speech

with politeness and good manners

this means if you provide

the castle's entrances and exits

and number of its inhabitants

and who the key men are

this is the only solution

that will keep you safe

but if you oppose me

I will treat you as a traitor enemy

this implies that I'll behead you all

this is your final warning.

Are the Seljuk surrounding us alone?

We, and another castle.

My son, Hussein!

No, another castle.

Anyway, you shouldn't be this frightened

you know we will win.

How would I know?

How would I know?

From faith and certainty, Donia

besides, do you think anyone

can beat Hassan Al-Sabbah!

You didn't ask about Al-Hady

nor your heart yearned for Hussein!

Al-Hady grew up and has

his own bedchamber next to you

he doesn't need to sleep in your arms

And Hussein will grow into a

man and a knight and return to you

It's like he's your enemy or rival

It's like he's your enemy or rival

how could you banish him?

Every boy needs a journey and a migration.

to learn to be a fighter.

You know that your son is observed

-and You've a thousand enemies who might…

-I told you not to be scared!

I miss him!

I want to see him.

We'll see him after victory.

Hussein!

Hussein!

I'm talking to you.

Well…

being the son of the Great Preacher

or being sent here to learn

roughness and horsemanship

doesn't justify defiance.

No one gives me orders.

Then you should know that I

have full authority to discipline you

to the point of prison punishment

and t*rture if you like.

You also should know that

your lord, Hassan Al-Sabbah

tried to punish me many times,

but it didn't matter to me.

-Why?

-Because I'm stubborn

-and because I'm not under anyone's rule

-Wait.

Do you know your father and everyone

with him is under siege at Alamut Castle?

Do you know your father and everyone

with him is under siege at Alamut Castle?

If you are a wise man, you would

let me return to the castle there

I'll stay with them and

fight alongside my father

I wish I could do that.

I wish you had learned something

I could send you back with.

horsemanship and manhood

don't need to be taught

I can teach myself.

Save yourself trouble and send me back.

There are no such orders.

The orders are to follow

instructions and say yes.

-I won't do so!

-Is that so?

Then there will be no food

and no movement from

your place for three nights

I will leave, the food doesn't matter

others might miss the food

others might miss the food

but I won’t allow you to imprison me.

Fine, we'll see.

Enough, enough, please, for God's sake!

Enough! Enough!

There is no power and no strength

except with God! Please stop!

There is no power and no strength

except with God! Stop, my son!

Stop, stop! There is no god but Allah!

What's going on, guys?

Why this severe beating?

Damned Esoteric!

we didn't even start! We

won't leave until he's dead!

This's Imam Al-Ghazali, have some respect.

This's Imam Al-Ghazali, have some respect.

When one of us deviates

we teach and guide him

or we should beat and insult

him, leaving him scarred

and seeking revenge?

Does that mean we should let him be, lord?

How could you say that, lord?

You railed against the Esoterics

and their false beliefs the most

Yes, I railed against

the Esoterics and I'm still doing so

but I rail against their ideas

with knowledge.

and with evidence

and with argument.

I seek the forgiveness of God.

I seek the forgiveness of God.

Hold this, son.

Get up son, get up. Come on.

Easy.

What's your name?

My name is…

Bejan.

See, Bejan here, for instance

heard something and believed it

You should have presented

more reasonable arguments to him

to believe it

instead of beating him

and insulting him

and torturing him

until all this internal pain

becomes not just personal vendetta

until all this internal pain

becomes not just personal vendetta

but a vendetta stemming from faith

he believes he is right, while

asserting that you are in the wrong

My fear of falling into your hands

is greater than my fear of their torment.

Why, my son?

Because you are our greatest enemy.

I am an enemy to the false idea

and a hater of the act

generated by the false idea.

Young men

you must know

you must know

that one false idea

is a thousand times more

dangerous than a plague

and that the youth who were fooled

and adopted these ideas

shouldn't be tortured

or beaten up

you must enlighten them

you must convince them

with irrefutable evidence

with real knowledge

so they can come back

and whoever can make a self come back

and whoever can make a self come back

to the path of truth

it's as if he revived him.

There is no power and no

strength except with God!

Don't leave me, they

will beat me up if you left.

Please!

Don't be afraid

Bejan

is under my protection

is under my protection

I am the servant who is in need of God

Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali.

There is no god but Allah.

This is the devil's castle

this is our camp.

It's a long way, we can

start moving tomorrow.

It's a long way, we can

start moving tomorrow.

It's dangerous

because they know the

castle's entrances better

this could lead our vanguard into a trap

You'll be a reconnaissance unit

near the castle

yes, your number isn't large

and you may face the Esoterics

but you must know that

you are my best soldiers

and I appreciate the gravity of this well.

Tomorrow, their doom will be on our hands!

If we make it through until tomorrow

They will likely set up camp here

and refrain from advancing closer to us.

The numbers are indeed vast,

as the shepherds have mentioned

"How many a small company

has overcome a large company"

"How many a small company

has overcome a large company"

There must be a plan for escape

to secure our escape and our lord's

home in case of defeat, God forbid.

Run away from my house!

There is no escaping nor defeat!

Bring me three girls

from the shepherds' daughters.

Be tough, you weak!

If your sword drops before

The assassins, you'll look bad

They will assume we are all of your ilk

What's in your hand is poisonous.

He saved you.

Do you now see that

I embody half the army?

Who makes the fire structure

that you're happily using?

Tayfour?

Who rescues you when you get wounded?

Tayfour?

Why are you so upset with Tayfour?

Just because he is standing afar, if

he were here, I wouldn't say this.

Why

are you standing there, Tayfour?

The girls here are way prettier than ours.

What girls? Go back,

return to your duty, Tayfour!

What girls? Go back,

return to your duty, Tayfour!

Would I go back alone?

Return to your duty, Tayfour!

Hurry up!

Femininity

is a gift every girl is born with

but not every girl

knows how to be feminine.

How come?

When Alinar speaks,

everyone else falls silent!

The mountain shepherd has a daughter

the prince has a maid

The Sultan has maids, and the Caliph

has what's most important and valuable

they're all girls

but there must be a difference.

Femininity goes beyond

appearance and allure.

No, femininity

is whispering

a movement

music

rhythm

who knows how to play the Oud?

and you consider yourselves girls?

who knows how to do anything?

who knows how to do anything?

I can sing and recite poetry.

Learning here is not a choice

there are two things that

will bring death upon you

that one of you doesn't learn

or that she reveals the secret I

tell you under any circumstances

if someone else knows

about it other than Alinar

will be doomed to die.

Playing music, reciting

poetry, singing, and dancing

you will learn and master

them at the earliest

you will learn and master

them at the earliest

now

we will go to the bathtub

to start with a lesson on smoothness.

Come here

I can't go to that smoothness lesson.

You must, otherwise

she'll k*ll you! Come on.

The river is poisoned.

Those girls from yesterday.

Nobody drinks from the river

the river is poisoned

we'll rely on the reserve.

Inform the leader

about what happened.

In the name of God, the Most

Gracious, the Most Merciful

It's clear, there are new faces,

honoring us for the first time.

It's evident from their appearances

they are among the leading scholars

and it's their first time visiting us.

Would our lord be pleased

to have an disbeliever

in the Sultan's court?

to have an disbeliever

in the Sultan's court?

God forbid, to have

a disbeliever in the Sultan's court.

-Omar Khayyam, our lord.

-What about him?

His poetry is full of disbelieve

and denial of God's existence

and denial of heaven,

hell and resurrection.

Oh God

I haven't read his poetry

in order to pass judgment on it.

Besides, to my knowledge, poetry

is an art subject to wide interpretation

due to its various meanings

so, I can't

accuse a poet

of heresy just because he wrote poetry.

of heresy just because he wrote poetry.

His poetry is available

and judgment is based

on its surface meanings.

Declaring a Muslim as an disbeliever

is a big deal.

It's easier for me to say,

that I didn't understand his poetry

than to accuse him of disbelief.

We thought we'd tell you first

so that your students would witness that

but, we will take action.

Peace be upon you.

Peace, mercy, and blessings

of God be upon you

There is no god but Allah.

Prince Mahmoud managed to cover a

great distance with his horse today.

Nice.

He kept practicing how to hold a sword

with his private tutor for hours

to the extent that he forgot his lunchtime

May Allah protect him, and I hope

to see him become a great leader.

He's a piece of you

When he is looking far

away and lost in thought

as if he himself is Malik-Shah.

May Allah bless my lord

what does this smile mean?

It means that Mahmoud is still a child

and that I have other children besides him

and it's too early for me to die

Don't try to convince me

Mahmoud is most deserving

to become the Sultan after me, from now on

May Allah prolong the life of my lord

and remains a strong Sultan

until he is a hundred years old.

A hundred years? I would be an old Sultan.

My lord will always be young

My lord, the Sultan is forever

the strongest man in my eyes

There you are, the Terken Khatun I love

There you are, the Terken Khatun I love

and love her eyes

that are free from any purposes

be the enamored Sultana, cherishing her

lord's love, which is a far better thing

than the mother who is plotting

for her son's future from now.

Enamored, infatuated, and in love

with my lord, the Sultan

my only purpose is your happiness.

isn't Terken Khatun your wife!

Our son Mahmoud is a part of you

which means that both of us

Light from the radiance

of your light, my lord.

The cares of the day, my enemies

the wars of the Sultanate are

enough for me outside the bedroom

inside the bedroom, here I don't

want to hear anything but sweet talking

or silence.

Your satisfaction is my life

your look at me with satisfaction

means that I'm in heaven.

I want supply exercise of all

types of food in the entire castle

the amount of bread

the amount of water

poultry, meats

everything

give each believer a loaf

for the first two weeks

and half a loaf for another two weeks.

You and stranded preachers will fast daily

excluding Fridays

and inferior to them, every other day

I fast every day.

How long will the siege last?

Even if it lasts a thousand years

I don't want any word

of fear or submissiveness

I want only those who

believe that we will win

Did you send messages

requesting help to the distant castles?

Did you send messages

requesting help to the distant castles?

Amide is on the move.

Just fifty believers

would be enough.

Importantly, before dawn,

at an appropriate time

when the entire universe is quiet

-we will be behind the Seljuk.

-Understood.

My Lord, you must eat

and regain your strength

fasting has worn you out

we have a supply that can save you.

How can I eat and believers are starving!

These are your shares

that you have not touch

These are your shares

that you have not touch

It's rightfully yours, my lord

My right is to be the most patient, Zaid.

Okay, you have to sleep and rest

you hardly sleep.

Especially tonight,

there'll be no sleeping

This is the decisive night.

I am at my full strength

gather all the fedayeen believers

tell them my lord wants

to give an important speech.

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

In the name of God, the Most

Gracious, the Most Merciful

The joy of seeing the faces

of the believers is the greatest joy

know that

just as we see each other now

we will see each other in heaven indeed

but with faces free of the fatigue

of late nights and the hunger of fasting

know, youth of heaven

that God did not grant me the

appearance or the ability to speak to you

that God did not grant me the

appearance or the ability to speak to you

except for great news

and an even greater herald

our lord, the Imam informed

me about our lord, the martyr

about God

that we will triumph

and they will retreat from around

the castle, defeated and humiliated

and know

the key to heaven was

our Imam's gift to me

I can allow anyone I choose to enter

I've asked him to allow

each of you to enter

I've asked him to allow

each of you to enter

victory comes with signs

and steps

and a plan

the first sign of victory

is your sighting of me

The second sign is your hearing of me

third sign is your adherence to my orders,

which are those of our lord, the Imam

from the skies of the castle, hellish

arrows will rain down upon oppressive army

from the hidden gate of the castle

The head of the army of believers

will move in an unguarded moment

The head of the army of believers

will move in an unguarded moment

from the distant outskirts

reinforcements arrive

with the rest of the believers.

Gather all the chosen

ones from the castle.

Tomorrow morning

the stones and trees will speak

about the miracle of our lord, the Imam

about the miracle of our lord, the Imam

and about Hassan Al-Sabbah's

few fasting followers

who defeated the largest

oppressive army on earth

delight your eyes with the stars

because in their light,

my words with the Imam remain

wash your faces with the dew of victory

and grip your swords with God's power

with God's blessing, march

triumphantly and well-guarded

with the blessing of your lord,

the Imam, Hassan Al-Sabbah.

-For our master!

-Praise the lord!

-For our master!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

-Praise the lord!

Yahya.

Yahya.

Suleiman.

The observation point.

The cold is harsh today.

-Stay alert, Murad.

-Suleiman!

Look up!

Look up!

Beware!
