NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING FILMING OF THIS WORK

From here, we will rule the world.

Then begins the great promise

the promise of victory.

Hassan Al-Sabbah was sentenced to beheading to be made an example

but he escaped from jail after his jailer became a devoted follower.

At the same time, his followers and disciples continued to grow.

Hassan is a strong man.

Prepare yourselves to be rewarded with heaven

because I herald you...

His words are magical.

...I am the owner of the key to heaven!

Praise the Lord.

He always knew how to identify human deficiencies and to fulfill them.

You have a sick child.

That way he was able to gain more and more followers

on Hassan's way to his dawah

Zaid found a plant he knew from a long time.

It's magic plant.

It's the plant of the other world.

A plant that washes away any pain or sadness

because of Hassan Al-Sabbah's escape

the Grand Vizier, Nizam Al-Mulk, suffered many losses before Sultan Malik-Shah.

It's hard for me to accept three mistakes in a row.

And before himself as a minister of the greatest country on earth.

Nizam Al-Mulk was waiting for the first chance

to eradicate Hassan Al-Sabbah and his new dawah.

As if all obstacles turn into a paved path in Hassan's dawah.

What I understand from your words, lord,

is that you want money for charity?

I want you to spend from which you love.

The castle.

The path of dawah which its beginning was real,

was Hassan Al-Sabbah's entry and capture of the Alamut Castle.

And the beginning of formation of an army of followers, chosen, and fedayeen.

Here is the new Dominion.

Who were later named by the public.

The Assassins.

EPISODE NINE: ALAMUT CASTLE

I missed you.

Blessed, our beautiful child.

She was born in difficult circumstances

but she was good omen.

- Khadijah. - Khadijah.

Isn't it time for you to be a man and a fighter?

What am I supposed to do?

You're not the one to act.

- Zaid. - Yes, our Lord.

Hussein ibn Al-Sabbah

the eldest son, beloved one and the apple of his eye.

I want him to be a fierce knight.

A terrifying knight that all knights fear.

I'll be responsible for his training.

Not you.

Hussein is going to another castle of ours,

to someone who can unleash the beast within his headstrong mind.

Our master,

- Why keep him away? - He's no longer a child.

It's time he becomes self-dependent.

If it wasn't for hunting and your company, I would have killed Nizam Al-Mulk.

He's a great minister.

He's the wisdom of the state.

I am tired of his wisdom.

His favors upon me are plentiful.

There's a look in his eyes between gratitude and obedience

and something else.

As if he wants to say that I wouldn't have been Sultan without him.

My lord's concern lies in the state's interest.

As long as he serves the state, his presence is better than absence.

My lord.

A deer.

Close your eyes, hunt it down, and win a maid.

Barry.

Barry.

Was it your arrow or mine that hit it?

Definitely yours, my Lord. My arrow is far weaker.

Oh God.

How beautiful is hypocrisy of loved ones.

No, I swear, it's your arrow.

Maybe my prey hasn't come yet.

Barry is yours.

Long live, Long live my lord, the Sultan!

Long live my lord, the Sultan.

Long live!

My lord.

Slave dealer is here with his maids, he brought them for Prince Mahdy.

- Shall we dismiss him? - Maids?

We should consult our lord first. Let him wait.

Abolish the castle's main entrance

make it without an entrance.

Without an entrance?

Without a visible entrance.

A hidden entrance, known only to us.

Construct seven fake entrances

- behind it the castle's walls. - Alright.

About the strange forest in the back of the castle,

I want it to be pruned beautifully.

I want it to be breathtaking.

I want it to be unprecedented to the eyes.

A hidden entrance

and breathtaking pruned forest?

The beauty, Amide.

It's as if something is on our master's mind.

There is maids with a slave dealer for Prince Mahdy.

Zaid ibn Suhon wouldn't be this happy unless this is the reason.

- Would you like to see them? - No.

Take them from him and treat them well until their time comes.

I want a woman whose job is to create beauty.

Can beauty be created?

Anything can be created.

I want a private room to be a laboratory.

Where to put the magical, wondrous plant you brought.

Understood.

All of the plant or should I keep some for myself?

All of it.

You don't need it here.

No one has visited or spoken to us.

That's what scares me the most.

Are you always scared?

Food is coming in and out normally

all our requests are being answered,

we must be heading for trouble.

I imagine what the prince who bought us looks like.

A very handsome young man

or old man?

Also very kind.

What do you think?

Naz, do you find it easy to surrender to anyone you don't know as a maid?

I don't have a choice.

Of course, you have the right to choose

or are you created to be a maid?

What are you created for?

A wife? What's the difference?

On the contrary

being a rich prince's maid

is much better than being a poor man's wife.

No.

I'd rather be the wife of a poor man that I love than being the Sultan's maid.

Keep on dreaming then,

let me fantasize about the Prince we never saw.

It's a good news.

The first child in the castle.

What about Hussein away from me?

- Good news? - Of course.

Hussein will return to you a strong man.

A knight fiercer than his father.

Why are you like this, Hassan?

Why to separate us and keep him away from you?

Because he is stubborn.

He doesn't appreciate the blessing of being my son.

So you revenge on him?

On the contrary.

- I love him. - Is this love?

Love is making which of you, like you.

- By being distant? - By any mean.

In this world, we try all means to reach our goals

or else we end up living and dying without leaving a trace.

This is the first time I've been scared of you like this.

Good.

Fear is a sign of love.

- Love and fear can't coexist. - They can.

Do you believe everyone around me loves me?

I don't want them to love me

but they're afraid of me.

- Thus, their loyalty is guaranteed. - That's not with family.

With everyone.

Wives and children are source of sedition.

It's enough for you that you are the only one I love and am not afraid of.

If Nizam Al-Mulk is thirsty,

we send him water.

- Did you study your lessons? - Yes.

- How much time do you spend meditating? - From dawn till forenoon.

What is your purpose in life, Darbas?

To spread the word of truth by any mean,

even if it costs my life.

Darbas, our lord did not choose you to be the chosen

today or a few days ago.

Our lord chose you a long time ago

since you were in the world of Zar.

Me?

Yes.

Look at the preserved tablet in the hands of our lord, the Imam

he pointed to your name and said with his noble tongue, Darbas is the chosen

whenever I enter upon him.

I find his eyes drowned in tears and his hands raised to the sky.

He prays, "God, have mercy on your servant Darbas, accept him and elevate him"

He prays for you more than his own children.

That's something strange.

He is the secret of the universe and the owner of the key to heaven.

- I wish to see him. - It's hard, Darbas, very hard.

We ourselves see him with a permission.

But he informed us about message for you.

What?

Know that you are a person of stature and place.

The more you belittle your life

the higher and precious your status will be.

The dream of heaven!

An Esoteric has infiltrated here, my Lord

in the disguise of a water carrier

and killed your personal guard.

"From Hassan Al-Sabbah, the cutter of the path of falsehood

to Al-Tusi, Nizam Al-Mulk, the traitor of pacts

there's nothing between me and your soul

but the door of your diwan

beware of me."

Take the Esoteric's corpse and roam around all the streets of Isfahan

burn it in front of the public.

To make an example.

So everyone will know that this is the punishment of any Esoteric

who violates the prestige of the state.

As you wish, my lord.

Alinar, a beautiful name

means reasonableness of the mind, right?

It's my name and my characteristic, my Lord.

You must know, Alinar

that our lord's demands are not simple.

A man's demand is as great as they are.

Our lord wants to create mermaids

just ordinary beautiful girls

transform them into mermaids in appearance and speech

and in gentleness, imagination, and everything else.

Our lord's orders are carried out immediately.

My job and enjoyment in life

is to turn fantasy into reality.

whoever can't accomplish the impossible

must bear the consequences.

Here is the house of secrets

once a secret is revealed

beautiful Alinar

must be ready for the hereafter reckoning and the torments of hellfire.

Who creates heaven's mermaids

can't possibly be destined for hell.

Our lord awaits the impossible, Alinar.

My lord.

How does our lord know me?

There's no palace from Syria to Morocco

doesn't know Alinar.

More girls.

More sorrow.

Let's have some fun.

Who are you, sweethearts?

- I'm Jouriya. - I'm Taghreed.

- What about you? - I'm Maysoun.

I'm Alinar.

Here, my obedience is everything.

Are you the maids' leader here?

What's your name, tell me?

I'm Alinar.

As long as you are here, my obedience is everything.

Even with obedience and patience with Alinar, only death awaits you.

You will be thrown from atop of the castle.

Understood?

Understood.

Where is the sweet smile?

Your friend has captured Alamut Castle, Nizam Al-Mulk.

Allow me to command the fewest soldiers possible

I'll level him and his castle to the ground.

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?

If I fail,

you'll find my severed head delivered to you

as atonement for my sin.

I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place.

My lord…

Hassan Al-Sabbah is one of those men whose dangerousness is hard to ignore.

I'm waging wars and striving on several fronts.

I don't want him to be a dagger in the state's back.

Unfortunately, his castle is dangerously located between us and our enemies.

Do you see what you've caused!

I don't want to get myself involved in a war with him.

I want to give him time and a chance.

Either he will retreat, and I make him as a knight serving the state

or I gain time.

then I can devote myself to defeating him and his dawah forever.

My lord, but this is not…

Write what I say

from the Sultan of the Muslims, Malik-Shah

to the rouge

Hassan Al-Sabbah,

you, Hassan ibn Al-Sabbah

have introduced a new religion

in which you deceive people

and lure them into rebellion against the guardian of era

you have gathered a group of ignorant mountain folk

and speak to them according to their command

so they go and assassinate the innocents

wouldn't you abandon the way of misguidance?

and leave temptation, and rejoin the banner of Islam.

I swear

that my armies depend either on your arrival or your response

have mercy on yourself

and the souls of your followers

don't lead yourself and them to destruction.

don't be deceived by your castle

even if your castle was a tower among the towers of the sky

we would demolish its pillars by the help of God, glory be to him.

This is a clear threat.

Malik-Shah's armies are among the strongest on earth.

Nizam Al-Mulk's malice has no bounds.

Where is your faith?

Your faith is the strongest army on earth.

The response of our lord needs consideration.

The whole message is a trap.

Of course.

Write, ibn Suhon.

When I received the Sultan's letter, I read it fondly and with respect.

I raised my head proudly.

I hope the Sultan would listen to what I say

and don’t consult my enemies about it.

Especially Nizam Al-Mulk

who mixes truth with falsehood, and vice verse.

My lord, the Sultan.

I write to you my condition

regarding what you said about introducing a new religion,

I seek refuge in Gods from that.

So I bear witness that there is no God but Allah

and that Muhammad is his Messenger

as for insulting the descendants of Al-Abbas,

yes,

I insult them and express my contempt for them

because their inception and their end

were built on deception, trickery, immorality, and vice

starting with their man and leader

Abu Muslim al-Khurasani

whom they have betrayed and shed his blood

and regarding your saying that I deceive

the ignorant and drive them to kill people

stop your employees from oppression, corruption

killing women, and plundering men

and I'll stop my men from rescuing the distressed and repelling injustice

and you've got Nizam Al-Mulk

who plunders the treasuries of the Islamic nation

and grants it to his family and relatives.

At these times, the oppressed have nowhere to resort to except...

...Hassan Al-Sabbah.

So prevent the oppression

and Hassan Al-Sabbah will abstain.

As for your threat of mobilizing an army to destroy the castle.

God forbid.

I am not in a castle to protect myself from you

but it is a haven and solitude.

I use it to ward off the evil of enemies

if it wasn't for

your oppressive minister

who wants to oppress me and shed my blood.

I would have come to you...

obedient

and an adviser and consultant.

As for your saying about my residence being the tower of the sky

you would have demolished it.

I would say I live in this residence by a promise

from the guardian of time and its Imam.

The castle will remain firm in our hands until God's decree befalls it.

My lord,

get rid of the evil of the oppressors

and rescue God's servants from them.

A time will come when a just ruler will appear

who will liberate Muslims from injustice.

And peace be upon those who follow the guidance.

Hassan ibn Al-Sabbah.

Cunning devil!

He unveils something different from what he conceals.

So, they're Muslims and we're the disbelievers, my lord.

We are the oppressors

and they're the righteous.

But he still obeys us.

He won't deviate from obedience soon

that's what I need from him.

I didn't think that you took over the castle

so you could live like princes and have maids.

I believed that you were trying to achieve your great dreams

not your desires, Hassan.

I still need twenty like them.

Oh!

It's as if I'm talking to the Abbasid Caliph.

It's as if you don't know me.

Hassan Al-Sabah's love for his dream and goal

is greater than his love for women

greater than his love for anything

even my love for you, Donia

isn't like my love for it.

What are these maids for, then?

So that Al-Sabbah would be in a good mood?

They aren't for me, Donia Zad.

I have no purpose in them at all

these are for something you'll find out over time.

I've become a mother of three

and Hassan renounced Donia Zad.

Hassan renounces everything

except his lover.

Then tell me, what's your purpose?

When it's completed.

How's the lover doing?

I'm lazy, yawning and I want to sleep.

Oh, you silly, you indulged in love.

It was the love that indulged me.

- Imitate Nizam Al-Mulk. - As you command, my Lord.

Hurry up!

If my Lord is late, I won't be able to imitate Nizam Al-Mulk.

He takes his time, you know.

- Shall I continue? - Continue.

My lord, the matter...

requires thoughtful planning.

And planning,

requires thinking.

And thinking requires a minister.

which is me.

- Shall I continue, my lord? - No.

Go sleep.

God granted victory to my Lord, the Sultan in the war against Georgia.

Who is the Sultan, Zaid?

Many

nothing in the world is more abundant than the Sultans.

Like who?

Sleeping is a Sultan,

love is a Sultan,

power and money are a Sultan,

Malik-Shah is a Sultan.

Who has Sultan over everything?

Our Lord knows best.

Faith.

Faith which makes all things you mentioned Sultans

a deep faith

that allows you to move everything.

Many people used to have strong, deep faith

were defeated and died under the hooves of people with lesser faith.

That's true

but that's what oppressors write in their books

but the oppressed on his cross is stronger than the one who crucified him

lives in people's hearts as a hero

the defeated, if they are right, will win over time

even if it takes a thousand years

do you know why?

Because the believer in something has an idea

the idea can live longer than its owner.

As if the owner of the idea is immortal

immortal does not die, Zaid.

Immortality is something that preoccupies the minds of the insane

and the great and the heroes.

Well, the great and the heroes are also insane, Zaid.

A free madman is better than a sensible follower.

There are ordinary people

they are the majority

but there are people who are different

people whom God allowed to defy the impossible.

People who can manipulate others' spirits as they wish.

Like our lord.

The Sultan.

It is time to send the new message to the Sultan.

Praise be to God for the victory my Lord.

The war on Georgia was difficult and exhausting.

Victory is always the ally of my Lord.

It is by God's grace.

My Lord is concerned.

Victorious and concerned?

The Abbasid Caliph is treating my daughter in an unacceptable manner.

A treatment that involves hitting, insulting and bad manners.

These are household secrets between a husband and wife, my Lord.

The Sultan's daughter should never be insulted!

Allow me to meet the Caliph to understand and advise him.

The time for advice has passed.

My daughter will be here in the palace as soon as possible

then I will go to him in Baghdad.

Do not tear down the wall between us and the Caliphate, my Lord.

You seem to have forgotten, minister.

The preservation of the Caliphate depended on our blood and our arms

responding to it with insult can only be rectified with punishment.

- My Lord… - I am not consulting you.

I have made my decision!

My Lord's army is scattered between Aleppo and Georgia.

Hassan Al-Sabbah is lying in wait for you in his castle…

Hassan Al-Sabbah! Hassan Al-Sabbah!

Do you want me to postpone my personal revenge

because you're fixated on Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Hassan Al-Sabbah is not a threat.

Hassan Al-Sabbah isn't a threat to Nizam Al-Mulk alone, my Lord.

Hassan Al-Sabbah is a threat to the entire Sultanate.

In an instant, he could ally with the Byzantines against you.

I do not want to hear Hassan Al-Sabbah's name again!

The public found him thrown in the streets.

"From Hassan Al-Sabbah

to Sultan Malik-Shah.

We killed the King's jester and his companion,

to let him know

that the time for laughter has passed.

And the time for seriousness has arrived.

If you lift the oppression

and keep Nizam Al-Mulk's evil

away from people

our pledge shall continue".

The danger of Hassan Al-Sabbah is closer than my lord thinks.

Prepare a campaign to bring Hassan Al-Sabbah

and his followers to the Sultan's court!

As you command, my lord.

- God is Greatest! - God is Greatest!

- God is Greatest! - God is Greatest!

- God is Greatest! - God is Greatest!

I stand among you today

to remind you that you are the Sword of Islam

to remind you that you are the strongest armies on earth.

You are the army of our lord, the Sultan,

and his strong arm

you are going out to fight falsehood,

and heresies

you are the army of Islam

in the face of a false sect,

we called them the Esoteric

because they show the opposite of what they conceal

they show Islam.

And they conceal a corrupt faith

made up.

They are led by a devil,

who controls their minds with illusions

he deludes them,

that he's the owner of the key to heaven.

He deludes them that he is a prophet

or demigod,

maybe more.

Come on, Soldiers of God!

March!

March, upon the blessing of God!

Our master! Our master!

Our master!

Malik-Shah's army is one night away from the castle!

Be reassured!
