01x25 - Shepherd's daughter

[bunniefuu]

Al Hady helped Donia Zad,

Khadijah and Nourhan escape.

Al Hady helped Donia Zad,

Khadijah and Nourhan escape.

Al Hady defied

his father, Hassan Al-Sabbah

he defied the strongest man on earth

it's not Al Hady's courage

that allowed him to do that

but his love for his mother and sister.

and their fear of his father.

Welcome to Omar Khayyam's house.

So that Al Hady admits

all this to his father

My mother, Khadijah and Nourhan

are not here.

Hassan Al-Sabbah's fire has ignited.

Hassan Al-Sabbah's fire has ignited.

Donia Zad and Khadijah

are not in Alamut Castle

and you're the one who

helped them escape from me?

Not only because of

his wife and daughter's escape

but because his son and heir

betrayed him.

This is your bedroom

and it might be your grave too.

either you reborn or death will purify you

There had to be an heir

There had to be an heir

stronger and braver than Al Hady.

"Episode 25"

"The Shepherd's Daughter"

It'll be better if you let me die.

I don't want you to die

I want you to wait until you see

the one who'll get your strength back

I don't want you

I don't want to be your heir.

But I want you to be my heir.

I thought I'd act

according to my standards

and come to check on you.

it seems that you have guests.

I thought you were in trouble.

No, I didn't get into trouble

the trouble came to me.

Your riddles are exhausting, Omar Khayyam.

Your riddles are exhausting, Omar Khayyam.

Can you keep a secret, spa attendant?

Although spa attendant is not well-versed

he can keep a secret, Khayyam.

Hassan Al-Sabbah

-He is the one who sent the message?

-His wife

she came here running away

from him, along with others

and I couldn't turn her down.

You are gentleman, and full of chivalry.

If the minister or the sultan knew?

I will disavow my acquaintance

with you and consider you a martyr

I wouldn't even visit your grave.

I wouldn't even visit your grave.

If Hassan Al-Sabbah, whom

they ran away from, knew first?

That's an even worse scenario

He'd send one of his followers to k*ll you

then the Sultan would know

and have you k*lled again

I'm leaving.

Where's your nobility that

made you care about your friend?

Listen you there are things

exceed nobility and chivalry.

What's your advice?

Run away alone.

Go home, Sahban.

Go home and keep the secret.

May God help you in your troubles.

Let me take this.

My Lord, the Sultan.

Are you Yahya?

Yes, my Lord, the Sultan.

Why didn't you execute Al-Sabbah's plan?

and k*lled my lord the Caliph?

I chose to live my life with honor.

What about your lover whom Al-Sabbah has?

I thought there's no love without honor

What's the honor of

Yahya, the muezzin's son?

To lead an army

to destroy Alamut Castle

and k*ll its demon.

Can you?

I'm the most knowledgeable

of its entrances and exits.

I'm the most knowledgeable

of its entrances and exits.

and I have the strongest weapon

revenge.

I know that Nourhan's destiny is death

but there's no nobler than seeking revenge

and just as God enabled me to k*ll

the one who k*lled my parents.

He will enable me to

k*ll Nourhan's m*rder*r

and the revenge for many

others who sent them to death

it doesn't matter to me

whether I win or lose

what matters is that I k*ll him

even if I die a thousand times afterwards

and who is unafraid of death,

triumphing over it many times

death fears him.

What assures us that

your whole story is true?

What assures us that

your whole story is true?

You might be a liar

Or a spy for Al-Sabbah?

Ask the streets of Isfahan

and its mosque about my father

Saeed ibn Oufy and who k*lled him.

Ask those who returned from your soldiers,

in the last battle at ibn Hafez's castle.

about the knight who entered the castle,

with Esoterics, who was he fighting for?

You seem honest, Yahya

your intentions are good

but great states are not run by intentions

We got a lot of those who

returned from Al-Sabbah

also, at first, they

claimed good intentions.

Take him to jail.

Take him to jail.

Years of life have passed

inside the castle, Barzak.

What our master has done inside the castle

neither a Sultan nor a Caliph could do.

In the end, here I am

the castle's prisoner.

Our master can be anywhere he wants

there's no place or time

can imprison Hassan Al-Sabbah.

The soul longs to get out, Barzak.

I want to breathe

I want to walk long distances until

I tire and rest on the desert sand.

I want to smell the scent

of the world outside Alamut Castle.

I hated solitude.

The freedom

The freedom, Barzak.

our master has always been free.

I don't think so

either in the Seljuk prison as you meet me

or in the prison of Badr El-Deen Al-Jamali

or in the prison of thought.

or in the prison of Badr El-Deen Al-Jamali

or in the prison of thought.

The prison of thought?

Every great mind is

a prisoner of its thought

until he can realize it

and every time he realize

an thought, he leaves its prison

and enters the prison of a new idea.

What our master commands.

So now let's get to the back

No no no no no!

There's severe pain here, master Sahban.

The pain is from your standing guard

and Sahban will relieve the back pain

Fine, master Sahban, just gently.

I know how to do my job! Also, if

you worked gently, you would sleep

No problem if I slept

-at least I'd rest for a while.

-Sleep as much as you want

-Where's your guard?

-At the entrance to the Sultan's palace

Then you have to have

special treatment. Sit properly.

All what you need is a story

from the stories of wondrous Sahban

and to enter the world of dreams.

-Tell me, master Sahban.

-Once upon a time

in the times of the past

There was a terrifying person

named Hassan Al-Sabbah

The Esoteric residing in the castle?

-I know it.

-Of course, I know you do

Hassan Al-Sabbah

k*lled the sultanate's dignitaries

Malik-Shah's minister,

Nizam Al-Mulk and others.

Nizam Al-Mulk and Omar Khayyam

were his closest friends

Nizam Al-Mulk and Omar Khayyam

were his closest friends

Omar Khayyam?

That's the poet and philosopher. I

saw him once in the Sultan's palace.

Hassan Al-Sabbah

He had a very beautiful wife.

-Of course.

-She ran away from Alamut and left him.

Really?

Who did she go to for refuge

and to have her as a guest?

Who?

Omar Khayyam, my friend

now here's some hot water

it'll make you feel better.

My lord, the Sultan

The case of the young man

Yahya ibn Saeed is easy, my lord

it turned out that he is indeed honest

and that he was indeed fighting with

our soldiers in the castle of ibn Hafez.

Great!

We have gained a new

enemy for ibn Al-Sabbah

he also knows the ins

and outs of his castle.

But I have a news and a

gain that is far more important.

But I have a news and a

gain that is far more important.

May Allah glorify our Sultan.

A greater and closer

enemy to ibn Al-Sabbah

and they are here in Isfahan.

-Who?

-Hassan Al-Sabbah's wife and daughter.

They are at Omar Khayyam's house.

Did anyone in the castle

know about my departure?

No, my lord, it's a secret

everything about you is unknown to them.

Excellent.

Excellent.

Leave me alone and return to the castle.

I don't want anyone to sense the change.

How can I leave you, my master?

It is risky for you.

This is my journey

alone, listen to me Barzak.

-Your duty is only to follow orders.

-I won't leave you, unless I die.

Obedience, Barzak.

When will you return?

In due time.

As my lord command.

-So, the information we received was true?

-Yes, my lord.

Hassan Al-Sabbah's wife

sought my refuge.

She is with her daughter

and another girl named Nourhan

They are all running from Hassan,

and I couldn't turn them away.

Why didn't you inform us?

Is chivalry and helping women

something reporting?

When the matter concerns

the Sultanate's biggest enemy

permission is needed.

permission is needed.

Our poet Omar

did what was appropriate as a gentleman

I commend your noble act, Omar.

But we need to interrogate

your guests, Omar.

Do you want me to hand

over my guests, you mean?

Is it right to interrogate women?

The situation has gone beyond hospitality

this is a matter of higher interest

as for interrogating women

if the matter is for the state's interest

if the matter is for the state's interest

we have the right to interrogate anyone.

I am surprised by your objection

and your refusal of the request

that can possibly be an order!

I thought the orders here

were for the grand Sultan alone.

You did what you had to, Omar.

You welcomed those who sought your refuge

but I am the ruler here.

I should have been the one to welcome them

Al-Sabbah's wife and daughter will come

here, under protection and guardianship.

Al-Sabbah's wife and daughter will come

here, under protection and guardianship.

I don't think this order can be objected.

Are you Hassan Al-Sabbah's wife?

Yes, my lady.

What would make a woman, married to

such a strong and dangerous man, run away?

The hatred.

What turns love into hatred?

-He k*lled my son.

-Your son?

His own son?

Yes.

What makes a father k*ll his son?

Insanity and self-love

Love for being the owner

of the key to heaven

who dares to k*ll his son if he errs

who dares to k*ll his son if he errs

in order for those around

him to believe in him.

You mean, trust him?

Believe in him

Hassan Sabbah is not

merely a leader or ruler

he is a god

he genuinely believes that about himself.

A strange story.

Is this your daughter?

Yes

and this is the oppressed Nourhan.

Your story is quite a tale, Donia Zad.

Your story is quite a tale, Donia Zad.

You are my guests, and the Sultan's too

you are safe here.

What's your story, Nourhan?

Anyone, whoever he is, claiming

to be our lord Hassan Al-Sabbah

and orders you to open the castle gate

shall be k*lled immediately

these are our lord's orders.

Stop right there!

Stay where you are, Esoteric.

Drop your weapon.

I don't have a weapon.

k*ll him.

Yahya didn't go to Baghdad.

He entered Isfahan and

surrendered to Sultan Berkyaruq.

Lady Donia Zad and her companions

are also in the Sultan's palace.

I don't want you to mingle

with the rest of the believers.

You now have a higher status

you are keepers of a secret.

So what's our destiny?

A big promotion

by the order of our lord,

the owner of the key to heaven

something bigger than martyrdom

as I promised you

you will experience heaven's dream again

now, you can leave.

Would you rather die and be cast

in the desert to feed the hungry birds

or would you guide me

to your master's place?

Who's my master? I don't have a master!

The disbeliever devil living in the castle

the one claiming to be

the owner of the key to heaven

Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Who knows his place?

You malicious! Your clothes

indicate you're one of his followers

Yes, but he has many followers.

-Are you confessing?

-Why would I lie when clothes expose me?

Do you know

the entrances to the castle?

Do you know

the entrances to the castle?

Each one of them.

Show me an entrance

that leads to your demon

and save yourself from being k*lled.

Liar.

Wait!

-Why did you call me a liar?

-Because after I guide you, you'll k*ll me

if I were in your place,

I would do the same.

You're malicious.

Why don't you say,

educated by a great scholar?

Who is this great scholar, Esoteric?

Hassan Al-Sabbah.

But I keep my word

and our words are as they appear

not like you, have double meaning.

Show me an entrance to the castle

where the guard is weak

and I'll let you live.

All of this just to get

to Hassan Al-Sabbah?

You say it as if it's nothing

k*lling him means the end of the bad dawah

the end of the devil himself.

What if someone led you to

Hassan Al-Sabbah himself and his location

without you having to go to the castle?

without you having to go to the castle?

Okay

-direct me to him.

-I am Hassan Al-Sabbah.

I am the Abbasid Caliph

this is the Seljuk Sultan

this is the Seljuk Sultan's wife

I respected you at first

and gave you my word

but unfortunately

none of you are truthful

All Esoterics are like this

All Esoterics are like this

I claimed to be him

and I even have the proof.

Hassan Al-Sabbah

would leave his castle

and surrender himself so easily?

Because I know what you don't know

because I can see what you can't see.

Great, Hassan Al-Sabbah

I will go along with you till the end.

What's your proof then

O, owner of the key to heaven?

Look at the ring

in my hands and its engraving.

If you are him, you'll be

the catch of a lifetime.

How would you know?

Could God have sent me to

you so that instead of k*lling me

I would guide you?

A demon guiding the believers?

Or an Imam guiding the sinners

Seize the opportunity, God

works in mysterious ways.

How will you guide us?

Let me hear you so I

can k*ll you with clear proof.

Let me hear you so I

can k*ll you with clear proof.

Your sheikh is sick

his illness has stopped him

from praying with you for a while.

If my words are true, take me

to him quickly so I can treat him

and if my words are false, then k*ll me.

Get well soon.

It's bitter.

Very bitter.

Bitterness is the secret.

The apparent is bitterness

and the inner is recovery.

Praise be to God.

How did you know about my illness?

That's a matter between me and God.

God's grace is abundant.

For three years now

I’ve been warning the youngsters

about your misguided teachings.

The world is a place for sedition.

You've heard about me

but never listened to me.

Yes.

All I want is for you to be cured

even if you ordered the youngsters

to k*ll me, I'd be content.

God forbid, I would never k*ll

a man who believes in God

But I have a question.

Why would Sheikh Hassan Al-Sabbah

the mountain sheikh

leaves his castle

Alamut Castle

and descend?

A divine voice called me

while I was praying in solitude.

The voice was calm and clear.

It told me, descend, O ibn

Al-Sabbah, and heal Al Sheikh Al-tayb.

In the name of Allah, the most

Gracious, the most Merciful.

As God wills, and there

is no power except in God.

Praise be to God.

That means I

would be able to stand up

perform ablution

and pray as well?

God wills, you'll be able to.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.

Accompany the Sheikh to the place he wants

and all of you

should be at his service.

should be at his service.

Thank you, I don't want

anyone to accompany me.

My purpose was to heal you

and I will continue my journey alone.

It was a pleasure.

May peace be upon you.

May peace be upon you.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.

Where are you heading?

Where are you heading?

You're lucky

the Sultan asked for you.

Looks like you have a long life ahead.

You were honest, Yahya.

Praise be to God.

How can I reward you for returning to us?

By letting me lead an

army to the Alamut Castle.

Planning that would take a long time.

What would make you happy right now?

To go and visit my lord,

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali.

Was he your scholar?

He was my scholar and my lord.

Fine.

But I have a fun reward for

you, I'm sure it will cheer you up.

My daughter!

Mom, I missed you!

I missed you!

My darling!

Forgive me!

Are you alright?

Are you okay?

My daughter!

I'm fine.

Thank God!

Praise and gratitude to you, God.

It's good that you got out of that trouble

so thank God.

Yeah, but how did the Sultan know?

The minister for sure.

That means I'm being monitored.

Indeed, there is no doubt about that.

If I was being monitored, they

would've known from day one

Omar

these are high ranks

I mean, a guard let's assume

the one who knew this was a guard

I mean, a guard let's assume

the one who knew this was a guard

he can't just go and

inform Sultan right away

he has to inform the guard leader

and the guard leader informs whoever.

It's a big deal until

the news reaches the minister.

Or someone ratted on me, spa attendant.

Someone ratted you out?

I'm the only one who

knows the secret, Omar.

You would never spill the secret.

You won't let me eat in peace!

Listen here, man.

I may be a spa attendant, but

I have principles and morals.

True.

You'll never tell, even

if they t*rture you.

Even if they gouge

my eyes out, I would never speak.

Listen, Omar

the secret is a man's honor.

You're right, Sahban.

Let me finish my meal.

Why is the fruit dish so far away?

Why don't you bring the stuff closer!

Take this, take it.

As God wills.

Shepherds' kids are strong.

They are born knights.

The wilderness here is

what makes them stronger.

The rough upbringing makes heroes.

The true essence is in the mothers.

The mother in this are strong and sturdy

from her comes the tough boy

and the stubborn girl.

-Can I help you?

-No, I am stronger and younger than you.

I don't like anyone

carrying my burden but me.

-Can you handle it?

-Yes, of course, I can.

You look foreigner, not from here.

You look foreigner, not from here.

I am really a foreigner.

The foreigner is a guest.

Come, rest at my place.

I fear I'll be a burden on you.

No.

A piece of bread is sufficient for many

and a sip of water can

quench a lot of thirst.

Come, rest.

Tie up the horse, Gaber.

Please, come in.

Listen

I want you to eat a lot

eat as much as you want

eat as much as you want

I don't like a shy guest.

-Alright. In the name of God.

-In the name of God, the merciful.

Bring the milk, Badr al-Budur.

You showing affection to her is nice.

No, I'm showing affection

to her, it's her real name.

Her mother died

and her brother got married

and went to pursue a livelihood.

Why aren't you eating?

She is the joy of my life

her name is Badr al-Budur.

Would you let me marry your daughter?

Let you marry her?

I haven't known you yet.

The name is Hassan

the homeland is far

the wife has passed away, and I'm

willing to pay whatever dowry you ask

I will marry her to you if she agrees.

Her consent is more important to

me than the dowry and everything else.

Your right and hers.

But she is all I have

will you take her far away?

We'll marry here, and

then we'll see how things go

I'll ask her.
