The Assassins (الحشاشين)

The brothers' thirst for power

made Al-Sabbah becomes more brutal

It's no longer time for hiding and calling for dawah in secret.

and dives into the streets of Isfahan

It's a golden opportunity, when Malik-Shah's sons are at odds

an opportunity that would allow people to serve the powerful giant

that has emerged in Isfahan.

They even began to openly roam the streets

fear filled the hearts from Al-Sabbah

Everyone who opposes our dawah must be killed in the most horrific ways.

For the sake of the soul and greatness of Malik-Shah

I extend my hand in peace.

However, the reconciliation occurs among the sons of Malik-Shah

However, the reconciliation occurs among the sons of Malik-Shah

Long live Sultan Berkyaruq.

Long live Sultan Berkyaruq.

So that Berkyaruq can be the Sultan the Seljuk state

Berkyaruq is strong

-Fierce. -800 individuals did this in Isfahan!

Oh, my lord, people are afraid.

He lacked the wisdom of Malik-Shah

and didn't have a minister as cunning as Nizam Al-Mulk

Gather the elders of Isfahan to me.

-As you command, my lord. -He chose to assert control over sultanate

and so he did

Berkyaruq

performed the grandest massacre on Hassan Al-Sabbah's followers

a massacre that will cause chaos in Alamut

Berkyaruq

killed 800 from the Esoterics

in one night.

"Episode 14" "Ascetic in Jerusalem"

It's a sad day in the history of our dawah

mourning at the castle for three days

I want the children of the 800 who were killed

I want the children of the 800 who were killed

to be here in the castle by any means

and to give them food, beverage, clothing and weapon

a mourning ceremony should be conducted immediately upon their arrival

a mourning ceremony they will never forget

and every week after they finish their training

they should sit and the story should be retold in front of them again

that the disbelievers and wicked people of Isfahan

killed 800 of the noblest people on earth

I want the spirit of vengeance to forever haunt the memories of every child

of the martyrs' offspring.

Long live

the Sultan

the Sultan

-Berkyaruq! -The best news.

We are one army again

I've had lost hope.

But I never lost hope

every passing minute, I feel like everything will return

every person I lost, I will see again one day

my father and my mother.

Nourhan.

Your father and mother are in heaven, Yahya.

only the lord knows Nourhan's fate

I see her face every night

it's as if my dreams are mortgaged just to meet her

to the point where I rush my sleep just to see her in my dream

as if there is an appointment between us in my dreams.

This is torture, Yahya.

It’s better if you forget her.

Who can forget his own soul, Suleiman?

Eat up, everyone. Eat.

Eat up, everyone. Eat.

Omar Khayyam

Aren't you going to tell me anything new today?

Actually, I was planning on excusing myself from the court

so, I could finish constructing the observatory you requested

Later, later.

Later, later.

The observatory can wait.

Tell me something amusing.

-A poem? -No.

I don't want poetry.

Poetry requires relaxation

and focus on visual imagery and verbal suggestions.

I want a story

a joke

a pun.

A pun.

Or an extraordinary tale.

I will tell you a funny tale.

-There were three friends. -Yeah.

-There were three friends. -Yeah.

They pledged that whoever reaches a position or influence

will help the other two

one of them attained power

he gathered the other two and gave each of them a position

all three of them reached a good position.

one of them betrayed his benefactor and fled

and the other kept trying to get even with him but couldn’t.

Why?

Because the one who fled was crazier

Because the one who fled was crazier

he managed to kill his friend before his friend could kill him

because life always favors the mad.

What about the third one?

The third one

The third one couldn’t bear being the friend of both the killer and the victim

so he fled

to a foreign country to work as a clown and jester.

A clown, a clown.

A clown and a jester.

A clown and a jester.

My Lord.

Have you chosen someone suitable?

-Mansour. -Excellent.

The target this time is dangerous and different.

Who do you think is currently our biggest threat, Zaid?

A lot

the Sultan and his brothers

the Abbasids and the Crusaders

even the Fatimid, followers of Al-Musta'li

our enemies are plenty, praise be to God.

These are all traditional enemies

The most dangerous enemy is the enemy of your thought

The most dangerous enemy is the enemy of your thought

the enemy of your approach

the enemy of the true meaning of your existence

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali.

But he has left Isfahan

-and quit teaching in Nezamiyeh schools. -I know

he is now in Jerusalem seeking the truth

-I know -Okay

-so his influence is less. -On the contrary

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali is my most dangerous enemy on earth right now

because he has both knowledge and proof

because he has both knowledge and proof

and he's not too old

his escape from Isfahan and his asceticism of everything

means he will become the big idea

that could threaten the existence and dawah of Hassan Al-Sabbah

the chosen one shall enjoy and bestow my vision

to kill Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

before he completes his thought.

I love you! I love you!

I love you!

There's still the best to come

Our master.

The dream of Heaven is much less than Heaven itself

Al-Aqsa Mosque

You'll go there and find a man dressed in simple clothes, hiding

his name is Abu Hamid al-Ghazali

go there pretending to be a Sufi worshiper

go there pretending to be a Sufi worshiper

the moment he turns to you and pays attention

your dagger should be in his chest.

You will be killed

as your soul leaves your body

You will find me waiting for you at the gates of Heaven.

What's the price of a piece of bread and water for a passerby?

The price is what you can afford.

Where are you heading?

To Jerusalem.

Oh, you have a long journey ahead

you seem to have come from the path of the mountain sheikh

Who's this mountain sheikh?

Does anyone not know the mountain sheikh, Hassan Al-Sabbah?

Yeah, I've heard about him.

I too have heard, but never seen him

I deal with lady Alinar.

Is Alinar his wife?

Alinar was a slave-girl of the greatest rulers of the Levant

he bought and liberated her

she's now in charge of his palace's slave-girls

every now and then, slave-traders come and sell them slave-girls

and I am the mediator.

and I am the mediator.

I make some money out of it, he's a generous man, Hassan Al-Sabbah.

I heard he's an ascetic.

There is no man who doesn't love women

But certainly, Hassan has a secret and I'll find out.

I found this pigeon

on our rooftop.

and this message was on its leg.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

from the palace and prison of Al-Sabbah

to my friend and lifelong companion.

Omar Khayyam

We learned of your departure from Isfahan to Merv

We learned of your departure from Isfahan to Merv

this is a different time, Omar

there is no suitable place for you except Alamut Castle

come to us, you will find safety and comfort

here no one can threaten you

I know you love freedom like birds

but the friend misses his friend

I am here a king in my prison

nothing would amuse me but having a conversation with the free, mad poet

Think about it, it displeases me that my crazy friend

to be a prisoner in a Sultan's court just to make him laugh.

to be a prisoner in a Sultan's court just to make him laugh.

Come to us.

I possess the world of our dreams

I only lack your company and your opinion.

What's the end of your journey, Omar?
