Whoever of us reaches a position of power or influence
will help the other two
A pact that transcends any disagreement or school of thought
This was the pact of Hassan Al-Sabbah and Omar Khayyam
and Abu Ali Al-Tusi, Nizam Al-Mulk
Nizam Al-Mulk became the state minister
My lord, the Sultan
and helped Omar Khayyam to lead a comfortable life
through which he provided the country with his ideas, knowledge and philosophy
and gave Hassan Al-Sabbah even more than that
making him an employee
in the world Sultan's and house of the Sultanate's secret
but Hassan breached the pact
and decided to kill the Abbasid Caliph
and the act that you're about to carry out is the most noble ever
since my dawah commenced.
He enlisted a young man who believes in his dawah
You will kill the Abbasid Caliph
-Nour Barek. -Me?
You'll be the performer of the most noble act in history
Imagine the great honor!
Luck is not always on Hassan's side
Nizam Al-Mulk discovered the whole plan
and captured Nour Barek
and after torture and threats
Nour Barek confessed Hassan's scheme
so that friends could meet again
but in a poor cell in the Sultan's prison
You think you can destroy the most powerful state on your own
If there were three like Hassan Al-Sabbah
there would not be a state like yours
Your head will roam in the streets of Isfahan.
and the traitor
must die
on a spear
even if he was a lifelong friend.
"Episode Seven" "Prison Guard"
Come on, hurry up.
Let's wait for my father.
Your father is the one who told me
If he's late tonight, we'll leave as quickly as possible
To where?
-You'll know. -What about our things?
We matter most, so we'll move lightly.
Come on, hurry up!
Hurry up!
Come on. Let's go.
-What's this vault? -Come on, dears.
Almost there, without haste.
Step up your efforts, let's go.
We're almost there.
Let's go.
Come on, Hussein.
Let's go, Mansour.
Where is Hassan?
In the oppressor's prison
but may God protect our lord.
Mansour, be careful while you walk along the path
Our lord said that our lady is pregnant.
Got it.
As if I've known you for years.
What are you?
How are you still calm and smiling with all this torture?
You are charged with all this torture
Your hand strikes
yet your heart is full of compassion.
What compassion?
I strike you with all my strength.
But You're oppressed like me
an oppressed can never hurt another oppressed, no matter what they do.
Who's the oppressed?
You are.
Those who lack your competence, sincerity, and knowledge
will always find them ranked above you
-This is the way of the oppressors. -Enough!
The one giving you orders is ignorant
your life will be wasted at the hands of the oppressors
living as an executioner of the oppressed
dies as if you had never lived
without even making a mark in life.
Don't worry!
Don't worry, there's no pain.
Barzak!
How did you know my name?
When the truth passes through the hearts of the oppressors
they fear
but when it passes through the hearts of the oppressed
-they become stronger. -Aren't you afraid of pain, and torment?
The physical pain is the mildest type of pain
but the soul's pain is tough.
Pray for me.
You cried until your tears dried up
eat, drink and be patient with God's will.
I'm scared and terrified
what will they do to us?
Open up!
Listen to me, girls
beauty
is expensive
if I were you
I would eat and drink
and smile
so the beauty would appear
and the rest depends on your luck
you'll either be a maid for a prince
-or you'll be a maid for a shoemaker. -What maid!
-I am free, and daughter of free parents. -What!
Free!
yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh Shar, from whom did you hear the word "free" before? yes, remembered
she was exquisite
but I made a big mistake
I gouged out her eyes
do you know why?
because she said to me, I'm free
do you hear me?
O you with the beautiful eyes
what a shame on blindness.
Do you hear me?
Yes, I do.
Make her take a shower
dress her up
the merchant is coming tomorrow
if you didn’t get me the highest price
I don't know what to do with you!
In the name of God.
There is no power and no strength except with God, the Most High, the Most Great
I seek forgiveness from God, and I repent to Him. Indeed, I was among the wrongdoers
Give it to me my Lord.
No one lifts my burden but me.
I deserve it the most.
As you wish.
What’s the matter, Yahya?
I feel like you're carrying a lot inside
and you can't express it.
How can a person, after you house him and let him into your home
stab you in the back and betray you?
You mean the one who killed your father.
-May Allah have mercy on him. -May Allah have mercy on him
He was a Esoteric, wasn't he?
Even if he was Esoteric
No school of thought justifies betrayal and treachery.
You are right.
but you don't know how the binding in Esoteric works
compliance and obedience is an absolute must
and whoever deviates from this Esoteric binding
becomes a disbeliever
and they deem shedding his blood and taking his money permissible
for this reason, he did the deed he did
while he thinks he's right.
Be strong.
Come on.
Go bring the rest of the carpets.
Your brothers are due for the lesson.
I seek forgiveness from Almighty God.
The Minister informs you to increase the guard at the prison gate.
I don't want any slackening, Barzak.
You more worthy of this position.
Stop, stop.
Wait! Where are you going?
I'll kill you, if you do this again.
Throw her in the car!
We'll take a different route before the sun sets.
Move!
A girl who has lived all her life in her parent's house.
Where could she have gone, if she ran away on a horse?
It's not about distances or the route
It's about what she'll encounter on her journey.
What will she encounter other than everything evil!
-She would've returned, if it was good. -Yahya.
We must return.
We're soldiers, we can't be late any longer.
I will drink wine at night and enrich myself with my cup
And I will rid myself of disbelief and religion
I asked time's bride, what is your dowry?
-She said, my dowry is… -Doesn't intend for the meaning, my lord.
Do not intend for the meaning
Your matter is confusing, Khayyam
Everyone's matter is puzzling, my lord.
A distinguished scholar
your knowledge has aided the state in astronomy and algebra
but I have been told that you are not a believer.
Not believing in what?
That is the question
Omar, personally
Omar, the poet is enough for me
the scholar
but
I received some words from some scholars
this is what made me ask, and it is not a trial
but an attempt to understand
because I love you.
The whole life is not enough for mankind's attempt to understand.
Long-lasting friendship between me and Omar, my lord
and I still do not understand him.
Is Omar Khayyam
a believer in life after death?
in the resurrection and the reckoning?
Omar Khayyam
every moment is in heaven and hell
It's very easy to say that I'm believer
and exonerate myself from the accusation
it's also easy to say that I'm not a believer
and take advantage of your kindness and protection
but is Omar Khayyam really
A believer in the resurrection, heaven and hell?
I don't know.
You don't know!
Faith requires certainty
and disbelief requires certainty
and Omar, my lord
Omar is too weak
to have any certainty.
Let me say it more clearly
-Do you believe in the existence of God? -Of course.
I certainly believe in God
but will he judge me by my faith
or my actions, my thoughts and apprehensions
and my suspicions?
I am not one person, I am a group of people
among them is Omar the believer with strong faith
and Omar filled with doubt
and Omar the denier
the ascetic and the hedonist
their existence sometimes at the same time is
-killing for Omar. -In my opinion, my lord, Omar
he's with strong faith
but he's also
‫He is keen on investigating about the truth.
Perhaps he is caught in the snare of doubt
and the certainty of faith.
It's nice
and I appreciate the discussion about it
but beware of the common people
also beware of scholars who do not have a open mindedness like me
personally, I love you, Omar
but the matter has spread
everyone is talking about it
I will remain neutral
I will leave you to them to hold you accountable
either convince them
or they will establish the argument against you
or you can escape.
Why you in a hurry for death?
Eat.
In two days, your head will wander Isfahan alone.
I'm fasting.
Fasting every day?
You'll die like this.
You'll ruin the joy of Nizam Al-Mulk by cutting your head off.
I won't die
and my head will not be cut off.
How come you will not die and your head will not be cut off?
Because I know when and where I will die.
So, you know who will kill you?
I have orders to be the one to separate your head from your body.
Barzak Amide will not cut off Hassan Al-Sabbah's head.
Why not?
Couldn't you believe me and sacrifice yourself for me?
You're either crazy
or you're not human.
You know I pray for you
I pray for you with every whip strike on my body.
What do you pray for?
For livelihood
and livelihood has different kinds
The highest is soul's livelihood
bestow your soul the happiness.
and the least is simple material livelihood
for example, a golden dinar under your foot
for my love for you.
As I said from the beginning
no pacts are maintained.
Who breached the pact?
Me or him?
It doesn't matter
what matters is that the pact was breached
A malicious Esoteric
He’s plotting to kill the Caliph.
He has no right.
Death rules over all
on the Caliph, the Sultan
on friendship and everything.
I who brought him closer to the Sultan, Omar
I gave him authority no one had before him.
Being closer to the Sultan is nothing but a step closer to the slaughter.
Your responses are strange.
What did you want me to do?
Reward him for his betrayal?
Al-Tusi, friend of youth and adolescence
does what makes him feel at ease.
Of course, at ease
and will even be more comfortable
with his head cut off and hung on a spear
being roamed around all the streets of Isfahan.
What's the use of beheading if the body is dead?
-The lesson. -What lesson?
Three swore on brotherhood and loyalty
one of them beheaded the other and hung his head on a spear
and invited the third to witness joy and happiness.
No pact is above the state prestige
There's no pact at all, Tusi.
Get going, Tusi.
I won't be able to see my friend's moment of joy
by beheading his treacherous friend.
I never knew your position towards me?
or towards life?
or towards the world?
or towards religion?
Don't you see what I gained from this world?
Nothing.
What was my harvest for all these years?
Nothing.
I am the candle of joy but when I dimmed, I became nothing.
I am
A shining cup
when I shattered, I became nothing.
You are a thief.
-My leader… -Don't approach.
Don't overstep your rank or your position.
Don't worry!
I freed you from your prison, so you found me.
Don't worry!
Naz
do me a favor.
What favor?
-Kill me. -What?
Are you insane!
I must die before we reach the market.
I can't be passed from a man to man.
Do whatever you want, far from me.
Nourhan!
What you're doing will also lead to my death.
Give me that.
Yesterday's friend is today's enemy
that's the wisdom
from the story of Nizam Al-Mulk and Hassan Al-Sabbah.
My lord
I apologize
I ask for your forgiveness and tolerance?
You have many situations that let me to forgive and forget.
All gratitude and recognition, my lord.
But it's true, Nizam Al-Mulk
that you are the one who handles country's affairs during the time of Jihad
without referring to your lord, the Sultan?
My lord knows
that these are word of mouth and biased
and indeed, you are the Sultan of all Sultans
and capable of governing the Sultan himself
because thanks to you he claimed the throne?
If my loyalty was to myself
my path would’ve proved that
My allegiance is to the Seljuk state, my lord
I am a loyal servant to the state
I am a servant to it
more than my service to my children and my family
out of conviction and certainty
and not out of weakness
or flattery
Not out of weakness
so, are you stronger than the state and the sultanate, Nizam Al-Mulk?
If it's in the state's interest in shedding the blood of Nizam Al-Mulk
I would not hesitate for a moment
I’m not really weak
I am strong
because I serve the strongest state on earth
my power comes from its power.
Alright.
Alright, Nizam Al-Mulk.
When's the spectacle of beheading your friend?
I mean, your enemy.
God willing, tomorrow at noon
in the large square.
I wish he had killed the Abbasid Caliph
He would have done something to make me happy
and not brought blame upon me.
You get out to the large square in Isfahan tomorrow at noon
And your head, beheading it and hanging it on a spear
Maybe.
These are the orders of the Grand Vizier.
Didn't you see me in your dream at all?
Today is the last night before my beheading
I want to stay up late and tell you stories
Beheading tomorrow, and you want stories?
The time of dawn is a time for pledges
when we emerge from darkness into light
the time has come for you to choose, Amide.
Choose what?
They are two paths with no third
the path of heaven with Hassan Al-Sabbah and his loved ones
or the path of hell with Nizam Al-Mulk and the Sultan
in both cases, I would respect your choice
and pray for you.
Don't worry!
What are you doing! Traitor!
Rebellion in the prison!
Barzak Amide
the sincere honest one
one of the three who will be the reason justice prevails
and we three drive away the oppression from the whole world.
But there's only two of us.
More!
May God exalt our lord.
Association of dawah.
Thus the eagle has two wings
The nest is all that's left.
The eagle's nest.
"Where has Hassan Al-Sabbah gone?"
