Religion is a pure spring

its light carried by messengers
from heaven to earth

to mend the people's souls and conditions.

After the passing of our Master, Prophet
of Allah, peace be upon him and his family

and his four Rightly Guided Caliphs

People were divided into Sunni,
Shia, and schools of thought

factions and warring states

from a Rightly Guided
Caliphate to an Umayyad Caliphate

and from there to an Abbasid Caliphate

and every caliphate after
the Rightly Guided Caliphate

Sought vengeance against the preceding one

sects emerged

Khawarij, Mu'tazila, and
Murji'ah, among others

the Abbasid Caliphate ruled half the globe

but in the 11th century

the Abbasid Caliphate
in Baghdad deteriorated

and became in its worst state

a group of Turkish shepherds
from the Seljuks appeared

and formed the largest army on earth

they got their legitimacy by claiming
to protect the Sunni Abbasid Caliph

but in reality, they had
authority over the Caliph

and at the same time

the Shiite Fatimid Caliphate
in Egypt and Morocco

was in its weakest state.

sects, ideas,
and schools of though were increased

among them

as the Esoteric Sect

from which a man emerged

who was the most dangerous and strange

Hassan ibn Al-Sabbah.

"Alamut Castle"
"11th Century"

Which of you is the Castle's Sheikh?

He's messenger of king of France,
coming with a request from the king

the conditions are simple

to pledge the castle's
loyalty to the king of France

and form an alliance
with the French kingdom

Alamut Castle's only
loyalty is to its master.

The Frankish king underestimated
Alamut Castle's strength

and its sheikh and the loyalty
of all its soldiers to their master.

What strength?

How strong can a castle on a mountain
be against the king of France?

What would you sacrifice for the Dawah?

My life.

My life is a sacrifice to
the holder of the key of heaven.

Why don't you play with us?

Are you scared to play with us?

Then tell us the game you like,
and we will play it with you.

The game of reading faces.

You mean physiognomy?

Can you tell who I am from my face?

You are the baker's son

coward, you always steal a pie from
oven and run away, your mother caught you

and burnt your arm by the fire.

And you, the son of the sabil keeper

you carry your father's
water jug and mimic him

and you spilt it over yourself

the jug was drained of every drop of water

and he was going to dunk you in the well

you kept screaming

he pulled you up at the last gasp.

And you, the son of gravedigger

You accompany your father to the homes
of the deceased at night, lying to them

and tell them that you saw light coming
out of his grave, so they'd give you money

and if you knew that he's stingy

you'd tell him that you saw
a snake going inside his grave

to scare them so they'd give you
money to keep quiet about the secret.

-I can break your face without reading it.
-What do you have to do with him?

He looks at our faces and knows our
secrets and we have to hit him, Omar.

Nobody will get near him.

Why are you sitting alone, Hassan?

Are you still upset about
what happened with your friends?

No, they are helpless.

He's still young.

He's young in age

but his spirit is noble and can endure.

I saw him flying with wings in a dream.

I fear for him.

There's no fear.

The letter is dangerous

and its power is big.

The letter is a secret

and he can keep it.

Which list should I start with?

The illuminating letters

and the spiritual numbers

for each letter

a secret and a conjugation

the letter is a secret

and a drawn sword.

The secret of Haa

A wall

with an enchanted door

and with the trace of Seen

A protective fence

or with the effervescence of Noon

and the secret of be and it is.

Hassan

Go outside, Hassan

take a walk

look at the sky

you will find the moon in its fifth house

walk with it

and remember the three
letters of your name

It might be one of
the lucky and fortunate nights.

Hassan

Omar and Abu Ali
aren't here to protect you.

Father!

Help me!

Father!

Help me!

I will die!

Don't worry.

Shall I get you out?

Yes, get me out.

Would you be obedient?

I will be obedient.

Get me out!

Will you choose light or darkness?

Choose darkness.

The darkness.

Come on.

Don't fear anyone anymore.

No one could kill you again.

No one could overpower you again.

Hassan!

Hassan.

Are you okay?

"Ten years later"

Darkness is a great secret.

Light is the real battle.

I feel gratitude towards
the precise order of the universe

day and night, whatever
happens in them from events and tales

night and day remain as they are

no event changes their timing

and no one can delay them.

Exactly like us.

Despite our diverse ideas and
schools of thought, we'll remain friends

Yes, Hassan.

Although, we don’t separate,
we see each other every day

we studied in the same schools

but friendship is a big dream, with
its own set of conditions for fulfillment

What dream, Hassan?

That we reach our goal together

and change the unjust world.

No one can change the world.

I can.

We all can.

If we’re friends, let's
make a pact from now.

Make a pact on what?

Since injustice dominates the world

I know it’s impossible for the three
of us to reach our goals together

but maybe one of us will

That's why we would make a pact

the one of us who reaches his goal

will help the other two.

But suppose I reach a high position

wouldn't then you'll call
me oppressor or disbeliever?

-According to…
-To my school of thought

And what comes first,
the promise and the friendship.

And here is the book of God.

And I don't think any of you
can disagree on book of God

Right?

We make a pact.

Put your hand, Omar.

The Pact of Hassan Al-Sabbah,
Omar Khayyam and Abu Ali Al-Tusi

whoever of us obtains power or authority

he 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

A pact that transcends any
disagreement or school of thought

"Hassan Al-Sabbah"
"11th Century AD"

"Isfahan"
"Capital of Seljuk State"

Peace be upon you, Abu Musa.

Peace be upon you, and may the
mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

I came to you yesterday and we talked.

We talked?

-Talked about what?
-How God must put an end to oppression.

It's you!

That's the young esoteric who argues
with his son in solitude, catch him!

You fool!

Be careful!

Idiot!

You stupid hunchback!

Oh God conceal us!

Criminal!

A young man fled from here.

He ran towards the mosque.

Who are you?

Hungry?

That's the last of the food
in the house, Hassan.

Why were they after you?

Every justice seeker is either
hunted, killed, crucified or imprisoned.

I still don't know who you are?

The description of the oppressed

my name is Zaid ibn Suhon

and as you can see, this is my state.

Who?

Many.

Seljuks, Abbasids, Fatimids.

There's no one who
hasn't left a mark on me.

Why?

Because of time

time of injustice,
corruption, and disbelief

and the devil's ascending
on the throne of power.

Your words are cryptic.

Seems like the words of
truth are no longer understood.

Rest.

Relax and leave safely tomorrow.

Who are you?

A soul that heard your calling.

You didn't just save me

It felt like you heard my heart's voice.

Every matter has an exoteric and esoteric.

Are you esoteric?

I'm still searching, and seeking.

- You mean you're…
- It's difficult

it's different to know my truth.

As you, for example, are not hunchbacked.

Stand up straight.

Can you get me to ibn Attash?

Why did you save him?

Saving the oppressed is
also a saving for my soul.

We're all oppressed,
seeking justice and its leaders.

Are you ready?

I'm eager.

There must be a link between us.

So listen with your heart

and comply

I bind myself to God's covenant

and his pact

and by the covenant of all the prophets

to bestow upon us your soul

and your mind and body

with desire and consciousness

Your secret, your exoteric and esoteric

your opinion, efforts and determination

to our master, the timekeeper

Say after me

I bind myself

I bind myself

so if you broke my covenant

or contradict my opinion

then you betrayed
Allah and all the prophets

and and fell for the temptation of Satan
and you own neither blood nor wealth

instead, a disbeliever whose
blood and wealth are permissible

and there is no repentance
for you except by being murdered

and this bond

is binding to me in my life and my death

with my opinion and my intention

and my conscience.

Say after me

I bind myself.

I bind myself.

Blessings to ibn Al-Sabbah

the preacher to our master,
the Keeper of the Secret.

And how can I finish my journey?

By pledging allegiance to
our master Al-Mustansir in Egypt

and this is a difficult matter.

It's not difficult for
the sincere preacher, master.

Come on, what's wrong?

Let's go!

What's wrong with you.

What is this?

-Enough!
-What's your business!

We speak the same language
and know how to communicate

you have nothing to do with it, let go.

-Sell it to me.
-No.

How much do you want?

100 dinars.

Unleash the horse, son.

Do you know who this is?

That's Omar Khayyam

a young poet and philosopher

interested in algebra and astronomy.

Algebra and astronomy?

This is fool paid 100 dinars.

"Omar Khayyam"
"Poet, Scientist and Philosopher"

Find someone who understands your language

Apparently, you are indeed different
and you possess something sacred

It's ibn Attash's first time
speaking like this to someone

binding him from the first meeting.

I saw you in the vision
yesterday calling for my help

and when I met you in the market
afterwards, I saved you at noon

From the first moment, when you
signalled me from atop your horse

You said you didn't save me out
of pity for a poor chased hunchback.

I read your secret and heard your call

and saved you.

I will follow you to death.

I will go on resume my mission.

God is the Greatest

I bear witness that there is no deity

but God

Praise be to Allah and thanks be to Allah

I was praying to God
that I'd see you today.

Thank God.

Does owning a beautiful
and melodious voice when calling to prayer

means that your prayer is the one
answered and not the mother's prayer?

There isn't a voice more
beautiful than yours, Julmar?

You haven't heard your mother while she's
singing softly, like honey to the ears.

Wow, sing us something, dear mother

-Stop it, boy.
-Am I the one that should stop!

he's flirting with you in front of me.

I flirt with her as if
I'm flirting with myself

May God bless you, Abu Yahya.

Oh, I wish to find a
woman who loves me that much.

My son, my darling, there no one like me.

-Yes, there are.
-Where, sweetheart?

-They definitely exist, right, father…
-The point is

Tell me, how are you doing, soldier?

Thank God, I am doing well.

the leader told me he might let me
participate in the upcoming battles.

Right on time.

Yes Yahya, open the door for Omar.

-Who's Omar?
-He's a poor young man

who helps us while you're gone.

-and I show him kindness, let's go.
-Yes.

My sheikh and darling.

How are you, Omar?

Come on, come eat with us, come on.

I need to go back to training.

Thank you for serving my father, Omar.

May God protect you,
my son, go ahead.

-Goodbye my darling.
-Goodbye my son. Take care.

She's mad at you.

-Not that much, Yahya.
-I'll right up.

I've missed you, Nourhan.

Really?

All I dream about is
the day you become my wife

We'd share our life together
behind the same closed door.

Shouldn't you tell my father
that in order to this to come true?

I can't tell your father
all that, right Nourhan?

No, Yahya. Tell him that you
love me and want to marry me.

I've turned down
twenty potential suitors.

Twenty suitors!

Those twenty suitors would die.

Once I establish myself in the army,
I'll bring my father and propose for you.

When will you establish
yourself in the army?

As soon as the
leader trusts my capabilities.

When will the leader
trust your capabilities?

As soon as I pass his tests.

-Are these exams difficult or easy?
-Very difficult, Nourhan.

Why are you talking to me like this?!

Because I love you.

Excuse me, love birds

but we need to return to the camp.

We wasted all our leisure time,
half for training and half for questions.

When will you establish yourself and
when he will trust your capabilities.

I love you too.

Couldn't you say it earlier.

Yahya!

"Abu Ali Al-Tusi (Monarchy)"
"Minister of the Seljuk state"

My lord, the Sultan.

This is a summary of the people's
state in the markets, my lord.

said by our soldiers in our lord's army

and the Abbasid Caliph's court

and the Byzantine Empire

the Fatimid Caliph's court

And every word of hatred and betrayal
uttered in our world from China

-to the Morocco.
-Such a great effort.

Your service to me in the past.

until the establishment of my sovereignty.

I value this greatly.

My reward is that
the state remains strong, my lord

and it will remain strong thanks to you.

What is the new's summary?

Regardless how the Abbasid
Caliph is weak and useless

our loyalty to him is necessary.

We are the sword of the Caliphate.

He is our legitimacy.

What are our spies in Byzantium saying?

The Byzantines are getting ready, my lord.

Especially since they have not forgotten
your defeat of them and their humiliation.

I believe a truce is more appropriate

until we are ready.

As for the Fatimids

Famine has consumed
and paralyzed them completely.

How are the people of Isfahan?

The people range from
Sufis, Dervishes and lunatics

and they're completely
immersed in their matters.

Public opinion about them ranges between
belief, doubt, and excommunication.

Take care!

Should I call the doctor?

No.

What about the scholars and philosophers?

The scholars are our hope, my lord.

As long as their speech
has reasoning and simplicity.

But as for the theologians and
philosophers, there's no hope in them.

Their debate among
themselves has exhausted them

and the public sees them as
disbelievers no matter what.

But the real danger

comes from the Esotericists.

They've spread everywhere.

They are under observation for us

but their danger

is that they bear more than
one name and more than one form.

-Oh God!
-The public's minds are weak

nationalism is their approach

any vague rhetoric, any talk of oppression

a love for home nights

the public would believe

I cleaned your shoes, sir, and
hung the cloak behind the door.

Thank you, Omar.

You've been serving me for a year;
the service of a son to his father.

May God grant me the ability to repay you.

You're capable.

If you listen to me.

A year

A year, every night I go
to serve him and his wife.

You have a kind heart.

A year waiting for the chance to tell
him the truth and he'd be one of us.

-This muezzin, does he have a nice voice?
-His voice is exquisite.

A nightingale.

It means that if he called for dawn prayer
and ended by duaa to our Imam

The whole city will be
on our side in the morning.

Unfortunately, I asked him to join us.

I kissed his hands and
head and cried for him.

But he insists on living
his life as an disbeliever.

Did you reveal yourself to him?

Unfortunately.

But what will he do?

He will do a lot.

So, what should I do?

Kill him.

Can you imagine that the young
man who served us for a year

and pretended to be limping and poor

turned out that he doesn't
have a limp nor poor.

What do you mean neither limping nor poor?

Go inside.

-Is there something wrong?
-No all is fine, go inside.

Come on.

What brought you back here?

You won't call for prayer anymore.

Saeed!
