1
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,040
What do you think of living in the palace?

2
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Is living here more pleasant
than living in the desert?

3
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,960
What have you done, you fool?

4
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,400
What kind of manners are these?
Why doesn't his mother teach him?

5
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Doesn't she have time for him?

6
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,640
Do you call my son, fool?

7
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,880
- Don't you see what he's done?
- He's playing just like other kids

8
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,840
Other kids don't act like that

9
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,280
He's but a fool and
intellectually challenged

10
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,240
"Episode 7"

11
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,080
I've had it with those people I
won't stay a minute in this palace

12
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080
My Lady, the Governor might
not like you leaving like this

13
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Shut up and do what's you're told

14
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Come on!

15
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,920
Maysun, Maysun, wait!

16
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,400
Is it conceivable for the lady to
leave before her husband's return?

17
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,360
I've been humiliated in this palace
and I won't stay one more day

18
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,280
This is the palace of the
Governor of Damascus

19
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,160
and the palace gates don't
open without his permission

20
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960
Return to your chamber and
wait the return of your husband

21
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,760
to tell him about it

22
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
The guards won't let you leave

23
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,000
Thank Allah for your safety

24
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,960
May Allah bless you

25
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,800
How was it during my absence?

26
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,640
We have a lot to discuss

27
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,920
Building the fleet is much
harder than I thought, Utba

28
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,760
It requires a long time
and lots of resources

29
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,000
You got it, Aba Abd al-Rahman

30
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Haven't you find Al-Adhami yet?

31
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Not yet

32
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760
As if he disappeared into thin air

33
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,680
You are a reliable person

34
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
May his absence be for a good reason

35
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,560
- Continue searching for him - Yes, sir

36
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,200
What about Fakhita and Maysun?

37
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Whom do you think is at fault?

38
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Both, you know how women fight

39
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,360
What are you going to do with them?

40
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Nothing

41
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000
I can't bear fighting in the palace

42
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,840
and I don't have any strength
to deal with this frivolity

43
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,640
I'll leave them to end their
fight without meddling in

44
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Well said

45
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,760
You're a great advisor, Utba

46
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,640
"Constantinople"

47
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,000
My wife is dying, sir

48
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,320
She's calling her son's
name on her death bed

49
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,280
I implore mercy

50
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Let him visit his mother quickly

51
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,800
So that she could see
him for the last time

52
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
and I'll stay in his place
to assure you of his return

53
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,080
and I'll stay in his place
to assure you of his return

54
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,600
Please, sir

55
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,200
{\an8}Do you think he's bluffing
to help his son escape?

56
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760
{\an8}Al-Adhami has been compromised

57
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,720
{\an8}and Mu'awiya will meet the bitter end soon

58
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520
{\an8}Thus, we no longer need a spy

59
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,000
{\an8}Go get his son

60
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,720
Alright, Adhami, you'll
get that I'll bring him over

61
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,320
You'll go to Damascus
your mother misses you

62
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
You'll stay by her side
for 2 days then you return

63
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,800
I'll wait for you here

64
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,840
I'll stay in your place until your return

65
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Come on, Son

66
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Don't you ever return here

67
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Go now

68
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,960
No, Father

69
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,880
I won't leave you here

70
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,720
- Do what's you're told - No, no...

71
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,040
Come on, Son your mother is alright

72
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,440
- She just misses you,
that's all - Father, please

73
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Wipe your tears and leave

74
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,880
Go, Son Your father is waiting for you

75
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,600
He's ready to leave Go with him

76
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,240
Go with him, Son Your mother is alright

77
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Leave, Son, go

78
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,640
- What did he tell you?
- Ridwan said that the Governor is asleep

79
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Haven't you told him that I've
something urgent to discuss?

80
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,520
I've told him so, my Lady
but he said that he's tired

81
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,200
- Leave, now - Yes, my Lady

82
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,600
My Lady, Maysun wants to meet you, my Lord

83
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Tell her that I'm busy

84
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,520
She is outside and insists
on seeing you, my Lord

85
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Let her in

86
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,920
Your wife has hurt me and
humiliated me before the servants

87
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
I've waited your return
so you could do me justice

88
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,960
But now, you refuse to see me?

89
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,160
I assure you that I won't be
humiliated again in this palace

90
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Were you intending to
leave while I'm gone?

91
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Is that what you care about?

92
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,800
I couldn't bring myself
to saying in this palace

93
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,160
but I preferred waiting for your
return to tell you what really happened

94
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,160
I'm well-aware of that but I
cannot bear such nonsense

95
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,280
You know that yet didn't
do anything about it?

96
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,600
- And you won't listen...
- Lower your voice

97
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560
The wife of Damascus's Governor
shall not raise her voice to him

98
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400
You're treading on thin ice, Maysun

99
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Beware of anger for it's unpredictable

100
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,520
and be certain that you're disobeying
your Governor not just your husband

101
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Leave for your family and don't
return before realizing your mistake

102
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,440
Leave us alone, please

103
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,440
I won't take long, Maysun...

104
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:33,880
don't go

105
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,800
For Mu'awiya's sake

106
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,000
and for my sake too

107
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,000
Stay with us

108
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920
When Allah grants you a son

109
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
your heart will be
overflowing with motherly love

110
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,520
you'll understand

111
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,680
You'll lose your mind if
someone called your son...

112
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,880
Especially, if it has a kernel of truth

113
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,960
a truth I refuse to see

114
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280
I know that I'm your sister wife

115
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120
but before that, I'm a mother

116
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760
A mother who suffers from
a broken heart day and night

117
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,120
A woman who lost a son and
unaware what the other son thinks

118
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,640
Pardon me if I lost it when
you've yelled at Abdullah

119
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,520
It's out of my hand

120
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:01,480
Mu'awiya loves you, Maysun

121
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,080
I see that every time I meet him

122
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,920
I prefer to share him with you on
having a husband with a broken heart

123
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Don't leave

124
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,760
I'll order the servants to
bring your things inside

125
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,200
Fakhita

126
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:57,280
What have you done?

127
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,320
I asked her not to go to preserve
Mu'awiya's alliance with Bani Kalb

128
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,480
He needs them

129
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,680
I won't be the one who foils him

130
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,400
If Mu'awiya wanted to divorce her

131
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,400
let him do it of his own
free will not because of me

132
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:16,320
What you've done will
make her stir the pot further

133
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,280
She'll think of herself our Lady

134
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,760
Mu'awiya won't accept that

135
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,480
You can live in humility in favor
of another woman if you want

136
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,360
unlike myself

137
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,560
Open the door

138
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,920
- It seems that you're
Master is here - Yes, my Lady

139
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,800
Ayham!

140
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,080
- Where's Mother?
- In her chamber

141
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Mother!

142
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,680
- Ayham - I'm here, Mother

143
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Ayham

144
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,960
Bring the light things only and
leave anything heavy behind

145
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Alas!

146
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,920
Does my son return only
so I lose my husband?

147
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Calm down Mother, please

148
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,600
We can't stay here

149
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,200
- We should leave by sunset
- I won't leave my home

150
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,640
My father didn't sacrifice
his life so we endanger ours

151
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,720
The safest place for us, right now is
the palace of Damascus's Governor

152
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Enter, please

153
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,720
"Peace upon you, O Governor"

154
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,920
"I've turned myself to save my son"

155
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,240
"I hope you take care of my son and wife"

156
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,760
"and bestow your protection on them"

157
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,560
"after the protection of Allah"

158
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,800
"for, they'll take vengeance on them"

159
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,440
"When they realize my son
isn't going to return like I said"

160
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
"I leave them under your protection"

161
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,200
"You are the most worthy for safekeeping"

162
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
We'll give you a dwelling away
from the reach of Byzantines, Ayham

163
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,640
Thanks, my Lord

164
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,080
- Peace be upon you - Peace
and Allah's mercy be upon you

165
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
My Lord, there's a message from Acre

166
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,480
- Who's the sender?
- Abi Suhayb

167
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,840
He's asking for more
lumber for building the fleet

168
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Tell him that we'll give
him everything he needs

169
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,040
Yes, my Lord

170
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,560
Peace be upon you

171
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,600
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

172
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,800
- How are you, Governor?
- I'm great

173
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040
- Thank Allah for your
safety - Thank Allah

174
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120
- Welcome - My daughter, Maysun

175
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,960
- Please enter, welcome - Please, come in

176
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,360
- Welcome, Malik, come
in - Thank you, Governor

177
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,240
- I've missed you,
Brother - Me too, Maysun

178
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,640
Malik will stay in Damascus

179
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,440
I would have let Bahdal
live here if he agreed

180
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,600
My children are enough, my
Lord leave their father in his desert

181
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Maysun, my precious

182
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,880
I've grown weary because of your
absence how are you, Maysun?

183
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,560
I'm exhilarated to see you

184
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,400
Please, come in

185
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,160
We'll have an organized naval army

186
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,880
We're in the process of building the fleet

187
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,400
It'll be done soon enough if Allah wills

188
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,720
I wanted to see you
today to ask for your help

189
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960
We need brave men on the ships

190
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,400
We'll fight in the midst of stormy seas

191
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,720
Everything seems hard at first

192
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,600
But with practice you will
become masters of the sea

193
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,080
We'll be your swords that
you draw as you wish, Governor

194
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,560
May Allah bless you

195
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,200
"Fustat, Egypt"

196
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,680
Father, I've ordered the
army commanders to leave

197
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,520
and told them that we'll meet
tomorrow after noon prayer

198
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,480
I wish you haven't
scheduled a meeting with them

199
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,880
But they want you to
approve their payments

200
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,360
I'm well-aware of that, Abdullah

201
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,920
They want their payments and they're right

202
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,640
but I don't know what to tell them

203
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,440
"In the name of Allah The All-Merciful..."

204
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,680
"From the Commander of the Faithful
Uthman Ibn Affan to Amr Ibn al-As..."

205
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,760
What do you find
upsetting about that, Father?

206
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,520
You no longer have to deal
with this arduous concern

207
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,320
Obedience comes with loyalty

208
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,200
and enforced with money

209
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,520
How would they obey me when
someone else is handling the money?

210
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,720
This country has been
eluding me since I came here

211
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,560
like a lion hunting a prey

212
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,880
but where it might flee?

213
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,000
Where it might flee?

214
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,400
Eventually...

215
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,840
the lion must take what it wants

216
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,040
Yes

217
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,720
It'll have what it wants

218
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,280
Go to Abdullah Ibn Abi Sarh
and tell him about the commanders

219
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Amazing!

220
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,840
- How are you tonight?
- I'm fine

221
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,960
I pray to Allah this child
may fill our lives with joy

222
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,480
Congrats on your son Aba Abd al-Rahman

223
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,840
May Allah bless you, Fakhita

224
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,360
Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar

225
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,240
I testify that there's no god but Allah

226
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,200
I testify that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah

227
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,520
I'm afraid the wedge might
widen between Amr Ibn al-As...

228
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,640
and Abdullah Ibn Abi
Sarh creating a turmoil

229
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Both of them are hardheaded and adamant

230
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,920
We must find an end to this so, council me

231
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,880
O Commander of the
Faithful I think that...

232
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,200
I lean strongly towards Abdullah over Amr

233
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,240
I think Amr is still the same

234
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,880
He's very deceitful

235
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,200
concealing what he does not reveal
and revealing what he does not conceal

236
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,560
But being cunning and deceitful

237
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,680
is an advantage for Amr
and not a disadvantage

238
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,680
Wasn't that what helped
him conquer Egypt and rule it?

239
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600
- Yes - So, Amr's cunning is beneficial

240
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,600
and that's what helps
him succeed in governance

241
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,000
Perhaps you remember
that I was in Egypt with him

242
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,920
when Umar sent him may
Allah be merciful to him

243
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,800
Although I don't condone
some aspects of his daily life

244
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,440
However, regarding
governance he was artful and wise

245
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,120
But things have settled
down in Egypt by virtue of Allah

246
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520
And that's one of Amr's achievements

247
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,160
Who knows if the Caliph
punished or dismissed him...

248
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,520
that the situation in
Egypt will not change?

249
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,080
Is Amr the only Governor
capable of ruling Egypt?

250
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,880
You didn't say a word, Aba al-Hassan

251
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600
Commander of the Faithful
I've studied this matter carefully

252
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,480
and realized we have three paths

253
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,160
Either one of them is a
liar while the other is honest

254
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,120
or both of them are honest

255
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,680
or both are liars

256
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,320
If it is the first...

257
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,440
dismiss the liar and keep the honest

258
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,920
and if it is the second...

259
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,760
if Amr is embezzling
spoils that he's not entitled to

260
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,240
while Abdullah doesn't
listen to others in war

261
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,520
and doesn't follow a well organized plan

262
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,000
then, both of them aren't
worthy of this position

263
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,760
but if it's the third...

264
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
it would be the hardest path

265
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320
If either one of them is trying
to plot a scheme to the other

266
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,200
to have control over Egypt

267
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,240
and govern it solely

268
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,280
that would mean that they don't
care about their people or Egypt

269
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,960
I think that we won't reach
an agreement this way

270
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,440
You've asked for our council
Commander of the Faithful

271
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,000
and do what you find best

272
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,000
"Al Ghouta, Damascus"

273
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,840
Why are you anxious, Mu'awiya?

274
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,080
It's Abdullah, Father

275
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,080
He seems different than other children

276
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,400
He is excessively active hurts others...

277
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,480
has little comprehension

278
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,640
Probably he'll change by staying with you

279
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Don't worry about him

280
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,000
He's just like all the other children

281
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,800
He's just like all the other children

282
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,720
Leave him under my care

283
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,800
Tell me...

284
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,040
how's the fleet building going?

285
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,440
I didn't know it would be
that hard until I've started

286
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,000
What worries you?

287
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,400
Don't you have everything you need?

288
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,920
I've brought skillful workers

289
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,480
and I'm on the verge
of completing the fleet

290
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,240
but our soldiers aren't ready yet

291
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,760
They are frightened from going out to sea

292
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Honestly speaking...

293
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,760
I'm afraid, Father

294
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,280
I don't dare to tell that to anyone else

295
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,800
I fear that my soldiers would
drown if we head out into the sea

296
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480
I'm worried they might not
be able to face the Byzantines

297
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,800
It seems to me that I don't
know the consequences of this

298
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,040
Be at ease

299
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,360
Be at ease, Son and remember...

300
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,520
that you've conquered Caesarea that
was impossible for the best commanders

301
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,280
Weren't you the son of a merchant
who uses camels for trade?

302
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,480
But now you're a Governor
who leads his people

303
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,440
and rules over Armenia and Tripoli?

304
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,960
Go ahead, Son

305
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,360
Do what you've determined to do

306
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,760
success is the reward for hard workers

307
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,960
I put my faith in Allah

308
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,920
Is there among your
soldiers a man called...

309
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:54,520
Abdullah Ibn Qays al-Jasi?

310
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,480
No, who is that?

311
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,520
That's strange

312
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,640
How did you miss him when he's known
for sailing the seas and commanding ships?

313
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,720
He was fighting with the Byzantines

314
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,160
but he left them

315
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Where do I find him?

316
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,080
I have no idea

317
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,840
Look for him in the
coastal cities of Syria

318
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,560
He might be in Acre or Tyre

319
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,440
You won't mess this up

320
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,720
You won't mess it up, Son

321
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:52,120
as long as you're patient
and depending on Allah

322
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,680
By Allah's will

323
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Thank Allah for your
safety Aba Abd al-Rahman

324
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,960
May Allah bless you

325
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Where's Abdullah?

326
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,840
He's with his grandfather in Ghouta

327
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,880
Why did you leave him there?

328
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,280
You've told me that he'd visit
his grandfather and return with you

329
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480
I left him there to toughen nothing more

330
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,080
Why didn't you tell me
that you'd leave him there?

331
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,800
Why did you do that?

332
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,400
- I want my son, Mu'awiya
- He's my son as well

333
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,440
- Aren't you worried about him?
- What should I be worried?

334
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,480
My father used to send
me to the desert for months

335
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Where I would wrestle
with the boys, run barefoot

336
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,840
- and I only ate dates and ...
- I want my son, Mu'awiya

337
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,280
I'm doing all this so that I
won't be spoiled by good fortune

338
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,760
That's exactly what your
father and brothers used to do

339
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,920
These are our traditions and
I don't want him to be spoiled

340
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,600
I want my son, Mu'awiya

341
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
- Bring him back - What's wrong with you?

342
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,680
He should get used to rough
living and he'll return safe and sound

343
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,520
If you miss him, you can
visit him whenever you want

344
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,560
Peace be upon you Aba Abd al-Rahman

345
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,600
Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you

346
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,120
We should have decorated
Damascus to receive you, Aba Abdullah

347
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,240
You didn't do that when
I was Governor of Egypt

348
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Now you'll do it after I've lost my
position and returned as a common man?

349
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,360
Utba

350
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,880
Aren't you weary of the governance
and its troubles, Aba Abdullah?

351
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Isn't time to play with your grandsons?

352
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,000
You still inexperienced, Utba

353
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
you don't know anything
about the harshness of life

354
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840
He's joking with you,
Amr but he's still young

355
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,320
I know that

356
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,240
I've come to the Umayyads
to complain about them

357
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,920
What a disaster

358
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
- Please, come in - Please, come in

359
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,680
Let them bring us some food

360
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,080
We want Ibn al-As to forget
what he used to eat in Egypt

361
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,320
and let him try the best of Damascus food

362
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Egypt?

363
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,520
I swear, Aba Abd al-Rahman I
wouldn't forget Egypt in a million years

364
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,520
Eat first and decide later

365
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,040
Let's stop talking about food,
Mu'awiya and discuss what's important

366
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,040
- Have a seat - May Allah bless you

367
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,960
I'm going out for a walk

368
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,720
- Take care of Yazid - Yes, my Lady

369
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,800
- Peace upon you, my Lady - Open the gate

370
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,160
I'm sorry, but I can't

371
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,200
I want to get out open the gate

372
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,560
I can't do that without
the Governor's permission

373
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,120
But he's entertaining guests from
Egypt go ask for his permission

374
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,080
I can't interrupt him

375
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,560
We aren't permitted to allow the women
to leave without the Governor's permission

376
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,040
I'm the only lady of this palace

377
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,640
Do what you're told

378
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,360
or else, I'll punish you for
your audacity and stubbornness

379
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,240
My Lady, I'm a guard following order

380
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,120
I've told you to open the gate

381
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,840
I can't

382
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,040
Don't you think you're being
harsh on yourself, Aba Abdullah?

383
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,360
Everyone knows what you've done to Egypt

384
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,040
but no one stays the Governor forever

385
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,600
Would you say that if the Commander
of the Faithful dismissed you?

386
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,960
or you'd lament about Syria
and the time you've spent there...

387
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,440
and mourn everything you've done for
it's development, safety and stability?

388
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,280
Would you accept that everything
you've done goes in vain?

389
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Tell me, Amr

390
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,200
To what measure has your wisdom attained?

391
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,560
I can solve any problem

392
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,840
I can get out of any bad situation

393
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:30,760
But I don't fall into any
situation that I must get out of

394
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,360
It's not easy to be in your
place and I feel sorry for you

395
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,440
But you're not supposed to
stay as a Governor forever

396
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,920
I'm not saying otherwise

397
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,680
But I want to know what made the
Commander of the Faithful dismiss me

398
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,240
although he knows
about my success in Egypt

399
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,600
He knows also very well...

400
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,160
what I've done for
its safety and stability

401
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,040
Marwan says that Abdullah Ibn
Abi Sarh has increased the tribute

402
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,760
What kind of nonsense is this?

403
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,200
Although I was in charge
he was getting all the benefit

404
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,680
He did nothing else

405
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520
He mismanages collecting the tribute

406
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,120
to make people defy the
Commander of the Faithful

407
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Even though, he's collecting
a larger sum of tribute today

408
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,920
he won't be able to do so later on

409
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,520
Take it easy, Amr, sit down

410
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,920
The Commander of the
Faithful wasn't harsh on anyone

411
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,520
So, if he dismissed you
from governing Egypt today

412
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,280
he probably thinks you fit
to govern another province

413
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,800
True, Al-Farouk used to do
that may Allah be merciful to him

414
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,960
Dismisses you today
and appoints you tomorrow

415
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,440
That was Al-Farouk

416
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,760
No, Al-Farouk and Uthman's
methods are different

417
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,200
I'm not the only one who thinks that

418
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,400
The companions in the Medina
and everywhere else think the same

419
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,440
No, don't let your anger
ruin your heart, Aba Abdullah

420
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,000
Uthman is reverenced and more
noble and we don't accept dispraising him

421
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,800
Uthman is reverenced and more
noble and we don't accept dispraising him

422
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,080
neither me nor you

423
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,120
He's the Commander of the Faithful

424
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,480
Obeying him is an obligation
and respecting him is our duty

425
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,240
Be patient

426
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,600
"You know not, perhaps Allah will
bring about after that a different matter"

427
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Pardon me

428
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,440
I'm among my next of
kin I swear, Mu'awiya...

429
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,840
I think of you as my son, Abdullah

430
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,800
I said that here...

431
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,680
because I know how much Uthman revers you

432
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,200
I promise you to do my best

433
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:38,880
We need wise men just like you
for our nation to become glorious

434
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,680
I'll bide my time to discuss it
with the Commander of the Faithful

435
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,880
Alright

436
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,040
I forgot to ask you about the
fleet because of my distress

437
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,920
- How is it going?
- I'll tell you everything over dinner

438
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,120
I'll stay here but keep
our conversation secret

439
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,920
Don't say anything to the Commander
of the Faithfull until we see him together

440
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Alright, Mu'awiya

441
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,000
I entrust you to Allah
Whose trusts are never lost

442
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
- Farewell - May Allah bless you

443
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,320
He wronged the Commander of the Faithful

444
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,280
Leave people express their feelings
so that they won't give in to anger

445
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560
He means no harm and trusts us

446
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,120
He only said that to tell the
Commander of the Faithful

447
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,120
to appoint him in a position worthy
of his efforts for Islam and Muslims

448
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,840
The Lady of the palace satirizes
you in her poem, Mu'awiya

449
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,200
- What did she say?
- I've written it down

450
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,880
"A small house filled with happy souls"

451
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:09,480
"is dearer to me than
a magnificent palace"

452
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,960
"Wearing a cloak and feeling pleased..."

453
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,160
"is dearer to me than wearing silk"

454
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,440
"Eating a crumb in my humble house..."

455
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,560
"is dearer to me than
eating a loaf of bread"

456
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,480
"A dog barking at my visitors"

457
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,440
"is dearer to me than a pet cat"

458
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,560
"A slender and simple cousin of mine..."

459
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,760
"is dearer to me than
a cold sturdy foreigner"

460
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,040
Maysun!

461
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,600
What kind of poem is that?

462
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:06,360
You know very well that I don't
like this place or its residents

463
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,240
I hope your dreary life within these walls

464
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,560
I hate when you turn away from
me even though you're my husband

465
00:39:14,240 --> 00:39:16,160
I can't stand this place

466
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:18,640
Pack your things

467
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,800
You're divorced this instant
