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 assault 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.

Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Hassan began to become brutal within the Seljuk State,

and began to send the chosen ones and fedayeen to kill 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

while he's in his place

letters and correspondences between Hassan Al-Sabbah and the Sultan

could not extinguish the flames of war 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,

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?

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

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 torture 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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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"

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!

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?

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

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 kill 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?

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

- Praise the lord! - Praise the lord!

Yahya.

Yahya.

Suleiman.

The observation point.

The cold is harsh today.

- Stay alert, Murad. - Suleiman!

Look up!

Beware!
