"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.
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 behind me
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 this 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
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!
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!
