Original subtitles

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 kill 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 kill 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 torture 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.

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!

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 torture?

You are charged with all this torture.

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.

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

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

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

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"

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

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 killed 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

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 kill 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

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

- killing 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

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 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.

So, you know who will kill 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

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 kill 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.

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?

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?

- Kill 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.

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.

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

in the large square.

I wish he had killed 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

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.

The nest is all that's left.

The eagle's nest.

"hassan al-sabbah was here"
