Original subtitles

Hassan Al-Sabbah, who terrified everyone

and formed a state in his castle on the mountain...

started becoming lonely.

He lost everyone around him.

He killed his lifelong friend, Nizam Al-Mulk.

And his companion,

Zaid bin Sayhoon.

He killed his son,

and lost his wife and lover.

Hassan is on his way to becoming alone.

But the dream that makes you lose all your loved ones is not a dream

it's a nightmare.

Keep the secret and the trust.

The man who introduced himself to the world as a man who fights injustice.

Exceeded in injustice.

It's time for the lover to serve the Seljuq Sultan.

With all sincerity, love, and trust.

It's time for accountability.

EPISODE 27: THE SULTAN'S MINISTER

Master Al-Hadi.

I am just Al-Hadi, Barzak.

To you, complete obedience and love, my master.

You are our master's son.

Your virtue is upon us all.

You are his secret.

I'm not sure if this is something to rejoice or to worry about.

Rejoice, my master.

You are the master, son of the great master.

You are our master.

And I am the humble servant.

Our master.

I want you to understand and pay attention, you are different now.

I don't know why I did it.

I am confused

I feel like I am in a position I don't understand.

Confidence is the most important thing.

But I feel like I'm getting circled by people's eyes.

And I'm afraid I'm not suitable.

I want you to get it together.

And I want you to pay attention to everything happening around you.

Even the people who bring you food and drink, pay attention to them.

And of course, pay attention to Barzak Amide.

He's the closest person to you!

There is no one closer to me than you.

And I want you to remain connected with

me even when you're alone in your chamber.

What do you mean?

It means to see me and hear me, even when I'm far away.

Is that possible?

With training, silence, and hunger it's possible.

Just like I can see our master Nizar, may peace be upon him.

And others as well.

And your first task, Hadi,

is to write a very important book.

Write?

Which book?

The biography of our master.

Which master?

Our master, Hassan Al-Sabbah.

You!

I will reveal to you how the journey was.

When I say "our master", Hassan Al-Sabbah...

It's not about aggrandizement or vanity, Hadi.

It's a status that our God has given to me.

And the higher the status of Hassan Al-Sabbah is...

the status of our master, Al-Hadi bin Hassan Al-Sabbah

would greater and bigger.

What should I write?

Start the journey from the very beginning.

About an inspired young man...

who was able to change the whole world.

Of course, this book will remain a secret between us.

Because its appearance is very important for believers.

Are you going to keep worrying, Yahia?

There's nothing more you can do.

That's the problem...

I can't do anything.

Well, maybe what Yahia can't do...

His son can!

- My son? - Or your daughter.

Pregnant?

Are you pregnant?

Get up, my lady.

Why are you sitting on the ground! Get up.

You are carrying Sa'ed Bin Yahia Bin Sa'ed in your womb.

He will take his grandfather's name?

It's an honor for him.

No, I was just afraid you'd name him Tayfour.

May God have mercy on him.

May God have mercy on him.

I want him to be a noble knight.

That's enough, Yahia.

Please stop bringing death into this.

He becomes a muazzin.

And was the muazzin left to himself!

May God have mercy on him.

Death is inevitable.

But honour is a choice.

I want him to be a knight and a fighter.

Nothing is more honorable than that.

Are you afraid for him?

Very much.

Don't worry.

Fear doesn't add an hour to life.

Could it possibly be a girl?

Sa'ed Bin Yahia Bin Sa'ed.

I wish his grandfather could see him and know him.

We're blessed, Yahia.

You and I are together finally...

and our son is on the way.

God's mercy is vast.

Praise to God.

I will go and prepare the meal.

No no, what will you prepare?

I will prepare everything.

What is it, our master?

A call at this odd time made me worried.

Al-Hadi, Barzak.

Al-Hadi's safty and his life depends on you.

I'm his servant and his father's servant, Master.

I would give my life for him.

I dreamed of you killing him and throwing him from the castle.

God forbid!

I'd rather throw myself if he suffered the slightest harm.

If anything happens to Al-Hadi...

I won't spare you.

Heard anything?

I've heard something and I'm trying to deny it until now.

And you'll remain loyal to my son.

That's a great honor for me, my master.

Be at ease and reassure yourself.

My lord Al-Hadi sleeps, and I stay up serving him.

If you asked me to kill myself now

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Do it.

For our master...

That's enough.

Enough.

Stand by your master, Al-Hadi.

More beautiful girls.

Where are you two from?

I'm from Armenia...

and my father was

a shepherd.

And I'm from Samarkand.

My father was a rich merchant.

You two are new and very nice.

You're reminding me of my first days here.

You're going to taste both luxury and torment in one place here.

Keep going.

Fill their heads with evil.

I want to listen!

I'm sorry, my mistress.

That's goodwill.

Goodwill!

Here

everyone shuts up.

And follows orders only.

Understood?

Where's the sweet smile?

Don't be scared.

The face of our master says he can't sleep.

Sleep has long forsaken me, Barzak.

The rest of the body is important, my master.

There is no rest in this world.

Master Al-Hadi's been absent for a while.

Al-Hadi is in solitude.

A voluntary isolation and he will emerge filled with light.

God protect Master Al-Hadi.

Al-Hadi is our hope, Barzak.

We ruled the Castle of Alamut and terrified people of Falsehood.

But he will rule an empire stretching from China to the heart of Francia.

- That's a prophecy, my master! - It's a fact.

Hassan Al-Sabbah only speaks the truth.

Any news of the believers in Isfahan?

They all left their homes and went to the outskirts.

I want them to set Isfahan on fire, Barzak.

I want the Sultan to be sleepless and unable to resume day or night.

He can't tell our followers apart from his own.

I want them to dress like scholars and sheikhs.

I want them to enter mosques, markets, and spas.

I want everyone in Isfahan to doubt themselves.

And when the night falls...

...it means the angel of death has arrived.

I want a huge chaos.

And they shouldn't differentiate between age or gender

I want killings.

Please!

My husband went out in the morning and still hasn't returned.

As the sunset came and the night entered,

this means he was killed by the Esoterics.

- No! - Pray for his mercy.

No!

Hopefully not.

Hopefully, he will return.

Welcome.

To them, you are dead.

But I'm still alive!

Your bad luck made you fall into our hands after sunset.

So they think you were killed.

I just want you to see their grief for you before you die.

But I don't want to die!

You can stay alive

and come out of here alive.

But you go down and say you've died.

And your soul was revived when you abandoned your beliefs.

And knew that our belief is the right one.

You declare your allegiance to our master, the key holder to heaven.

And say I was the dead

who was revived by our master.

And I'll wait for you here.

An arrow aimed at your heart in case you disobey.

I won't do that!

You're refusing life!

I refuse to go against my beliefs.

What do you mean, you can't control it?

Are you insane?

I'm at war in Isfahan, and my minister stands like a stupid idiot, saying that!

There's no specific attire or form for them, my lord!

They are in the market and mosque

just like the people of Isfahan.

And in a moment

mass killings begin.

- And what are you doing? - We are doing all we can, my lord.

We know them as much as we can.

And we kill them as much as we can.

The death of a single person I am responsible for

means that I don't deserve to be a Sultan!

It means I'm a failure!

Stay in your home, don't move until this chaos is extinguished.

And then I'll deal with you.

As you order, my lord.

The people have become terrified

and too scared to live.

Cowardice is the biggest enemy.

What cowardice, Yahia?

They have suffered!

Death and killing are now everywhere.

The esoteric isn't any different from you.

Standing beside you buying vegetables.

Suddenly, he stabs you in your heart with a knife.

And the one standing praying beside you.

In the same row!

He just waits for you to kneel or postrate So he can stab you in your back.

And you say they can't afraid!

No, they can't be afraid.

And they confront.

People are poor, Yahia.

Not like you, soldiers and fighters.

During the time of turmoil, We all have to defend ourselves.

Don't burden people beyond their capacity.

The biggest disaster is for people to lose confidence.

If they feel they are weak.

And they have to lock their houses so they won't die.

And they leave their enemy to triumph over them, Then there is no hope.

Hope exists when your confidence in yourself endures.

And you remain alert and awake.

Where are you going, Yahia?

They shouldn't fear the esoteric or other.

They own the country and the right.

They have to come out, pray, buy, Sell, live, and stay aware.

Then, the enemy will be afraid.

No enemy fears a coward and a runner.

We have received your diligence and sincerity, Siraj.

It's an honour for me to be the servant...

in the court of my Sultan.

The previous minister allowed disorder and chaos during his time.

He was not firm.

I chose you in his place.

If it reaches my Sultan.

That there is an esoteric

who raised his voice in one of the streets of Isfahan.

I will send my head in The hand of the smallest soldier to your highness.

For you to throw it under your throne.

Everything one of you Should have a talent.

Dancing,

playing music,

Singing.

What's your talent?

Clearly, you defied Alinar's order.

I wasn't born to be a toy form the hands of a man to another.

I am free, not a slave!

You were free before you came here.

But the day you entered the Alamut castle, You became Alinar's slave.

So, your fate is punishment If you do not obey orders.

Your death and throwing your body will be the easiest thing.

As if you never came to this world.

Well, come with me Let's find a solution for all of us.

Alinar's body shall be thrown off the roof of the Alamut Castle.

And the three girls?

They get the same fate.

Those who kill their teacher must be punished.

But the difference is that she is dead and they will be thrown alive.

And I want them to be thrown in front of the castle's virgins.

Deterrence and wisdom are the most important things in Alamut Castle.

As our master orders.

Enough, Yahia.

This is the 20th time you've requested to meet the minister and he has refused.

Even if it's a thousand times!

I will keep requesting until my wish is fulfilled.

Yahia!

We need you.

I won't be able to look my son in the eye.

That's why I tell you to stop, we’ve seen enough.

I will not accept anything but killing Hassan Al-Sabbah...

or die a martyr.

- Yahia, please. - Don’t make me feel weak!

Help me achieve my wish.

Khadija!

Where are you going?

I am escaping.

I will return to my father.

And leave your mother?

Yes.

I love my father.

What if your father killed Al-Hadi.

Would you still love him?

He would never kill Al-Hadi because he loves him.

He killed Hussein for he's a just man.

Your father killed Hussein for his own sake.

And if Al-Hadi stood in his way, he would kill him.

And me and you...

and anyone on earth, if they stand in your father's way, he will kill them.

You are telling me this to make me hate him!

If you want to go back, then let's go back together.

But if I go back, your father will kill me.

And if you agree that your mother is thrown from the castle roof...

then I will go back with you.

I have never loved anyone as much as I love you all.

You, Hussein, and Al-Hadi.

And your father!

But he caused me to lose two.

Hussein and him.

And only God knows

what happened to Al-Hadi.

I have lost everything.

And I only have you left, Khadija.

For my sake.

I was informed that you requested to see me more than once.

What's wrong?

I had requested from His Majesty the Sultan.

During the tenure of the previous minister.

To grant me the honor of leading a squad to attack Alamut.

And His Majesty promised me.

Yes, but the state is now preoccupied with what is more important.

You return home and work your father's job.

Wasn't he a muazzin, I think?

It's a noble profession.

But I've spent my life in the service of the Seljuk army.

And your service is over.

Go back to your home.

Master Siraj, I wanted to ask a favor from you...

Go back to your home.

I can't understand this new minister.

Siraj?

Yes, Siraj.

A very strange man indeed.

Even though I received a promise from the Sultan to return to the army,

He refused.

Well, he is a minister, Yahia.

Be thankful that he agreed to meet with a lowly person like you.

When I met him, I saw treachery and hatred

for the whole Sultanate in his eyes.

God, Yahia!

You've become wise and can read people from their eyes.

I was raised for a while next to Hassan Al-Sabbah.

Tell me about Hassan.

A charming man.

Leading mind.

He has extraordinary abilities.

So strange.

What's strange?

Well...

Talking about the man who killed your parents this way.

I am speaking of a truth witnessed by my own eyes.

I wish the talent and knowledge he has was

used for good and the service of people.

But he used it to serve the devil.

Who can stop Hassan Al-Sabbah?

Himself.

The evil within him is what will kill him.

And for all the years you spent in the castle,

Why didn't you kill him?

Hassan is very cautious.

All my plans in the castle failed.

But I'm still waiting for my moment.

Not until you return to the army first.

I'm going to the camp.

How's the camp?

Sad.

After Ibrahim and Tayfour,

and Suleiman...

and Yahia.

Goodbye, Yahia.

"From the keeper of the heaven key

Hassan Al-Sabbah, the great proof and senior preacher to God."

"To our loyal follower, Sirajuddin.

Keep the promise

and make the sea calm."

"As for the son of the muazzin.

You should slaughter him.

And make it look like an ordinary crime.

And from us to you peace, prayer, and total protection."

Yahia,

Son of Sa'ed the muazzin.

Yahia!

He was my comrade in the army.

Are you okay?

Get inside.

I'm okay, get inside!
