Devil in the castle.

Yahia was a devil in Sabbah’s paradise.

Yahia.

Find a new friend to share the horror you just experienced with.

From the first day, Hassan knew he was a rebel, entering the castle for revenge.

Waiting for our master.

But boredom within the castle of Alamut.

Has allowed Hassan to use Yahia as a toy.

A toy for the master of the castle.

You've managed to do what the greatest enemies couldn't, Yahia.

Testing his skills of persuasion and suggestion.

Beautiful name!

Suitable for you as a martyr.

So they become among the believing youth?

Under our watch.

And thus, the castle has a strong fighter.

Especially Yahia.

- What are you saying, master? - Hold it!

Hassan wants to personally enter a strange test.

And a new challenge.

What's its purpose?

Knowing that he's my enemy.

Is he testing him or testing me?

He transforms a person.

Who he killed his father and mother.

Into a loyal follower of his.

EPISODE 19: DREAM OF HELL

As you command, master.

Yahia.

Do you know our beloved Zaid Ibn Sihon?

It's my first time seeing him.

You will like him.

Because I love him.

And you Zaid...

do you know Yahia?

It's my first time seeing him, master.

You will also like him.

Come on, Yahia!

Tell me about your two friends.

Are they believers like you

or did they enter the castle out love for their friend?

Believers like me and more.

And their dream was to enter the castle.

Beautiful.

Here dreams come true.

You can leave and rest.

And prepare for the mission I will assign you.

Yes, master.

He said he doesn't know you.

Be assured.

Coward, Yahia.

The killer of your father and mother was

in front of your eyes and you did nothing.

What are you waiting for?

Hassan Al-Sabbah knows you and is playing with you.

Waiting for him to assign you a mission?

Or has he already assigned it to you?

What's his purpose?

Playing with the two dolls in his hands, Zaid and Yahia, entertaining himself.

Is that his purpose, Barzak?

Seeing if he recognizes you or not.

And the young man said he doesn't know you.

Years passed, and you’ve changed.

Why are you worried?

Indeed, why am I worried?

A man, whom I killed his family, lives with me in the same castle.

What exactly is worrying me?

We are in our castle.

In our den.

And he is prey within this den.

So, who should be worried?

You or him?

I fear madness, Barzak Amide.

The madness of Hassan Al-Sabbah that makes him play with me as if it's normal!

Watch your tongue, Zaid!

Our master Al-Sabbah is not mad.

When he brings me close to the this man and observes us while smiling, he is mad.

Your words are a sign of madness and cowardice, Zaid.

When you doubt our master or insult him with your words, you are mad.

And when you fear a young prisoner in your castle.

You are a coward.

Neither cowardice nor madness...

befit one of the three most important in the Castle of Alamut!

Enough crying.

You’ll kill yourself!

And what is the value of life?

Death is more merciful and easier.

People die in a blink of an eye!

It's their fate.

There is no unjust fate.

It is the injustice of humans.

We are here as paradise virgins.

And if the signs of tears remain in your eyes,

Alinar won't leave you alone.

She'll kill you like Naz.

I don't care.

Your youth and life are not yours.

Death is easier than slavery.

Death is easier than waiting for it.

Naz has died, Jouria!

We laughed, were entertained, and heard poetry.

Have you drawn the map, Omar?

I was once accused of disbelief.

I stood against scholars steadfast and unfazed.

I left my home and wealth not caring for poverty or solitude, chife of spies.

I've lost many loved ones.

My heart no longer fears loss.

And I can tell you with an open heart.

There is no map.

Do you support the rebellious Al-Sabbah against the country and the Sultan!

No, I support Omar Khayyam against his fears, sir.

First, I don't remember anything.

Second,

I cannot be despicable.

Like how Hassan Al-Sabbah was with Nizam Al-Mulk,

or Nizam Al-Mulk was with Hassan Al-Sabbah.

I am one of three friends.

I have decided not to be with them.

But I won't be against them.

You are antagonizing the state, Omar!

The state that shelters and respects you.

And gives you status and a place.

My home is my body.

And destroying a home which is killing the body, only God can do that.

And I do not want a house.

Nor do I want status or a place.

I want nothing but Omar Khayyam.

And Omar Khayyam is here before you.

And the decision is yours and the greatness of the sultan's.

Kill him.

Imprison him, forgive him.

Whatever the decision, I am satisfied.

Satisfied with Omar Khayyam.

And that's important.

Is that your final word?

As you see fit, Omar!

You have sentenced your soul to death.

You killed yourself, Khayyam!

I saved myself, Sahban.

Finally, we met, and you reached our castle safely.

Something that was impossible before.

That someone whose father is a great Seljuk prince...

and stands before you, our master.

Our lord guides his servants.

Your books reached me

I've been reading about you for months.

Following you and hearing your news.

The path of guidance is strange.

I said let's stop hearing about you.

It's better I come myself,

and hear from you.

You know, Sirajuddin.

Falsehood may be loud.

It may sit on the throne of the sultan.

And maybe its name is the caliph of Muslims in Baghdad.

But truth is rare.

Its people might be a minority.

But they are always the strongest, smartest, and most dangerous.

The truth is...

I realized that, our master, after I read the book.

And followed your followers.

And I knew that...

after my eyes saw you.

You are one of us.

And repentance erases all.

Even if we were enemies yesterday,

today you are in the position of a brother and a friend, Sirajuddin.

And as heaven is ours in the afterlife.

We also have promises in this world.

I don't need promises, our master.

As long as my heart feels peace.

Feel more peace.

I want you to be a discreet soldier.

By the side of the sultan, forever loyal.

Like a shadow accompanying its owner.

You are always praising him.

Praise is the secret of trust.

Praise your Sultan and earn him.

I want you to be the wall that surrounds him.

And the wall he leans on.

So, the moment I issue my orders to you,

he finds himself alone, defenseless, and bare.

It will happen.

It will happen by God's will, master.

I will be close to him.

Closer than his own self.

And you shall receive more than you can imagine.

Master, I...

You are a great lover.

And I love to see a lover in bliss and happiness.

It's time for the lover to serve the Seljuk Sultan

with all sincerity, love, and trust.

Khadija.

Come here.

You will leave through this door.

And request to see your father in the hall.

The guards will take you there.

You will throw yourself in his arms

and whisper in his ear.

Tell him that your mother wants to see you.

She missed you and forgave you.

She wants to have dinner with you...

and sleep next to him.

Again.

You will leave through this door.

And request to see your father in the hall.

The guards will take you there.

You will throw yourself in his arms

and whisper in his ear.

Tell him.

My mother wants to see you.

She forgave you and wants to have dinner with you...

and sleep next to him.

Again.

You will leave through this door.

I didn't want... our great poet to be here

but you forced me to do so.

Life is full of experiences, minister.

I have experienced wealth and travel.

And poverty and riches, and this time, I'm experiencing prison.

Every experience adds meaning to life.

Why expose yourself to prison,

when you don't need any of this?

Minister, this has nothing to do with Alamut's map or Hassan Al-Sabbah.

The fact is, you don't like Omar Khayam.

And because you don't like me...

you didn't like that the Sultan treats me with this honor and respect.

And the map was just an excuse to put me here.

And the truth is, you're pleased.

You're pleased that the knowledgeable poet,

who is useless from your point of view,

is sitting broken in Isfahan's prison.

That's beautiful.

I'm pleased to be the reason behind the happiness of the state minister.

Why do I hate you?

Your spirit is not in harmony with mine.

That’s the truth.

As for the reason...

I can tell you if you'd like.

Go ahead.

The minister does not appreciate music, poetry, or science.

He sees these as trivial crafts.

And that beneficial crafts for the state

are agriculture and industry, for example.

So you despise my talents.

You disrespect them.

You see me as a trivial, lazy person.

That should be punished.

That's simply the case, minister.

How can Isfahan grant you all the appreciation and honor

and you still owe allegiance to the vile Hassan Al-Sabbah?

I have never pledged allegiance to Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Or else I would've stayed in the castle of Alamut.

But I have remnants of chivalry.

I don't want to resemble someone I've refused.

My intellect is limited.

It's not like yours.

Explain to me.

Hassan Al-Sabbah killed Nizam Al-Mulk.

Which was wiser and more open-minded than you, my lord minister.

And Hassan's act was all disgrace and contempt.

Nizam Al-Mulk gave Hassan security.

And when it discovered that he was plotting for himself, he imprisoned him.

And wanted to cut his head and parade it around the streets of Isfahan.

Both of them...

did not respect the rights of their friendship.

Both wanted to kill each other.

One was able to, and the other wasn't.

And Omar Khayyam.

Their third friend.

Is insistent on not being like them

I don't mean that they are demons and I’m an angel, no

I mean that I am a human who makes mistakes.

But does not want to add to his mistakes,

the mistake of betrayal.

You refuse to betray your friend

and you are willing to betray the entire sultanate?

I know myself well.

And I know that if I did that, I’d be betraying him.

But the sultanate is a greater entity.

It has a mighty army.

That can easily confront Sabbah and his fortress, and even destroy it.

That's a big difference

Omar.

Will you give up the illusions in your mind

and draw the map with respect and obedience.

Or will you face a death sentence for your heresy and disbelief.

What's all this pleasure?

When Khadija came to me, my heart danced.

I've missed you.

I've always bet on the heart that I live in.

I've prepared food for you with my own hands.

No matter what I eat,

If it's not yours, it's like I'm fasting.

I hope you like it.

I got used to having very little in the castle.

What is all this?

Today is a day of reconciliation.

I want you to eat to your heart's content.

Then let's eat together.

I can't possibly eat alone.

I will eat,

but after you, as usual.

I want to see you eat my food like the old times and be happy.

Khadija.

Khadija has eaten.

Come my love,

taste the food your mother prepared.

I told you, she has eaten!

You think it's easy for me to kill my daughter!

Your mother, Khadija, out of her kindness, decided to poison your father's food.

Not out of hatred for your father, no,

but love.

Excessive love.

Her love for your brother Hussein made her take her revenge on me this way.

That's why I'm forgiving you.

And I am happy that you sent Khadija to call me.

Because I missed you.

No matter what you do,

and no matter how much you try to save your soul,

you will remain my enemy, Hassan, forever.

And I will kill you!

One day, I will kill you.

Consider that I've eaten and died.

And forgive me.

I won't forgive you!

Well, I forgive you.

And I'm looking forward to your next invitation soon.

Lady Alinar wants to see you.

Is something the matter?

An odd visit.

For a strange reason, indeed.

I'm listening.

The last dream of paradise.

The chosen boy entered it, influenced by the plant of paradise as usual.

Up until here, everything was normal.

Until the boy,

saw his virgin.

He was very perplexed.

And she also got confused when she saw him.

It’s like they...

It’s like what?

It's like they know each other.

This made him woke up from the dream of paradise confused.

And astonished!

Smiling strangely unlike all those before him.

And how did you deal with the girl?

I killed her, of course.

What is the secret of your concern?

How so?

If the chosen boy really knew her,

then the dream of paradise itself is threatened.

Because he will ask himself,

"How did she enter the dream of paradise?"

And he will doubt obviously.

Is this the dream of paradise

or not.

Because he knows her well.

And knows that she's an ordinary girl, not a virgin.

The matter is extremely critical.

Duty and honesty...

requires me to share all my fears with you.

Certainly.

And that would be very appreciated

I will inform our master.

Thank you, excuse me.

Please, continue.

A big surprise.

Strong, tough Alinar comes out of the Barzak Amide hall.

When Zaid Ibn Sihon talks to you, respond, oh slave!

I am not a slave.

I am free.

But I have a clear, responsible, and specific mission here.

I have transferred extremely important information to Barzak Amide.

For his position and status in the castle.

And I need to continue on my path

as my presence here is not allowed.

And there's no talk between you and me.

Neither you nor anyone else...

will make me break the orders and instructions of my work.

Excuse me.

Information to Barzak Amide, for his position!

Meaning Yahia Bin Said Al muazzin knows a virgin from the dream of paradise!

What an amazing irony!

Or a dangerous plot.

We have someone in the castle threatening the basic idea of the castle, Barzak.

Strange talk.

And very dangerous, master.

Was the girl killed?

Yes.

Alinar is also too harsh.

So, this young man must be killed quickly.

Why?

He's not a simple guy.

At first we thought he knew just Zaid Ibn Sihon.

But now he knows Zaid

and a girl the virgins.

That's too risky.

And it means he knows that the dream of paradise is not real.

So, he is not a believer in the dream of paradise

nor...

In the paradise's key holder.

Exactly.

Great.

This a very beautiful game.

A devil in paradise.

A rebel in the paradise of the master Hassan Al-Sabbah and you want to kill him.

Why do you want to deprive me of this pleasure, Barzak?

Be assured.

I must be closer to you than yourself.

I am the one who loves you.

I am lost.

The important thing is you save yourself.

Faith is above feelings.

Faith is above affection.

Faith makes you see the truth, Yahia.

Rest assured.

Insomnia and hunger are the biggest weapon for the believing youth, Yahia.

And I obey the orders, our master.

Orders of love.

I ordered to deprive yourself of food and sleep

in order for your soul to be purified.

I am grateful and appreciative, master.

You have a spirit in you that I love, Yahia.

How many nights have you been awake?

Three nights.

And the hunger?

Fourth day.

Next week will be stronger and better.

But be cautious.

The devil will continue to fight within you.

And I will be able to defeat him, God willing.

And I am confident of that.

Hold steady, resist, and persevere.

Because a time of hardship and fasting is a time of learning.

My constant goal will always be to lead you to paradise.

And I will exert all my energy to get you there, Yahia.

Devil's constant goal is to lead you to hell.

Stick with the one who wants to lead you to paradise.

Jouriya.

Tomorrow, in time for walking

I need you to cover for me until I reach the place

where the believing young men are.

That's impossible of course.

Alinar will be present and the lackeys' eyes are on us all the time.

Do they bring lunch from the same place where food is distributed to everyone?

- Yes. - Alright

I need to reach the corridor they walk through

I want to see where they get the food from.

And suppose you knew.

I'll walk through that corridor until I get to the place where the believers are.

And be sure of one thing, if it turns out to be true

it won't matter, whether I live or die.

Your old love you were talking about with Naz?

He is here in the castle, I am sure.

I saw him in the last dream of paradise.

And because we saw each other, Naz died.

And because of him, you and I are going to die.

Forget it, Nourhan.

Jouriya.

I think you know that I am the connection between you and Alinar.

And I might tell her things about you, that

you will be very upset if she finds out.

So...

What can I do?

The lackeys, they have no benefit or power.

But you know, they love to entertain themselves by watching us.

There's still a part of them that loves and hates.

And there is always someone that distracts you and keeps looking at you.

Mehyyar, yeah, I know.

He's always looking at me, laughing, and flirting.

Great.

Keep him busy, Jouriya.

Gholamshah is always with him.

He's rude and keeps trying to touch me.

Keep both of them busy.

- Is it tough for you? - No!

I promise you,

I'll make this quick and return as soon as possible.

I'm scared.

Aren't you going to tell Alinar anything?

Never.

- Never! - Promise.

Okay.

Yahia.

I like your performance.

So enthusiastic.

Waiting for the mission our master will assign to me.

There's a mission that our imam has assigned for you.

Preachers are not feeling secure about the two who came with you.

Tayfour and Suleiman.

What's up with them?

There's a huge doubt about their faith.

Your task is to follow them

and write a detailed report for me.

And I'll pass it to our master.

Their level of sincerity.

Their level of faith.

And based on this report

we'll decide what their mission will be.

There shouldn't be anyone who harbors a shred of doubt among believers.

Our master's order.

Observe them, and your report should be ready by tomorrow evening.

Continue with your training.

Beautiful Jouriya.

Why are you focused on me?

What do you want from me?

To enjoy the beauty of sight.

Is that too much to ask?

And after enjoying the sight?

What do you gain, you poor thing?

Happiness.

You're really kind, Mehyyar, and your smile is beautiful.

Really!

Thank you.

Thank you.

His smile is beautiful,

What about me?

You're boring.

And lame.

By the way, I can pick you up and break your ribs.

You can't.

Tell me, what did you do?

The best moment of my life.

I've never been this happy since I left my parents' house.

The moment I saw Yahia,

I forgot everything.

I forgot sorrow.

I even forgot my desire to die.

I wanted to...

to...

- to... - What?

I wanted to run to him, hug him and scream with all my strength

and tell him I am here, Yahia, I am by your side.

You are proof that our Lord is real and merciful.

I wanted to...

to spend what's left of my entire life just watching him.

Even if Alinar sees me...

or all the guards see me...

It doesn't matter...

What matters is that I saw Yahia.
