Very well, let love decide.

God wills what will happen,

or won't happen.

Neither of us has won.

They love each other equally.

One is the mirror of the other.

Two full moons in the same sky.

- How did you get in?

- What difference does it make?

Recognize me, Zumurrud?

You dared to say I couldn't get it up.

Now I'll punish you.

God will punish you!

Nuredin!

Blood of my blood, Zumurrud!

Where are you?

What's your name, handsome lad,

and why are you crying?

What's happening?

I've lost my slave.

I paid a thousand dinars for her.

? blue-eyed Christian

stole her from me.

I'll die without her!

Don't cry. I'll find your Zumurrud,

even if I have to disguise myself

and search every house.

Thank you.

I have good news for you, Nuredin!

So, Nuredin:
I've found your slave.

She was taken to Rashid's house.

I spoke to her there.

She'll be waiting for you tonight,

by the garden wall.

She'll whistle, you help her down,

and you'll escape.

I've helped you,

now you have to be nice to me.

Show me you're a man.

My love...

You'll make him rise!

You bet I will!

My love...

Nuredin, grab the rope!

Help me, my love!

My love!

Hold this bag, it's full of gold.

Who are you?

Where are you taking me?

I'm me,

and I'll take you where I like.

Who are you?

Nuredin's hair is silky...

you feel like a pig!

Let me go, you ugly beast.

Hold your tongue, or I'll murder you.

Walk!

We killed that soldier.

We'll do the same to you

if you don't shut up.

I am Giwan the Cruel.

We're forty thieves,

and tonight well all have you.

I've brought you something precious,

father, guard it well.

I'll be back with the others soon.

I bet your head is full of lice.

Shall I pick them out for you?

Sleep, baby, sleep.

Go to bye-byes...

Rider from the desert,

you will be crowned King of this city.

- What?

- What is your name?

Warden. I am a soldier.

When our King dies

leaving no heirs,

we wait for the first man

to arrive from the desert,

and make him King.

Blessed be the Lord for sending us

a slim and handsome man!

Drink, and let us enter the city.

Before being crowned

you must have a wife.

You will marry my daughter.

Who said I wanted to marry?

If you refuse,

you'll be thrown from a tower.

Then God's will be done.

Do you have nothing

to do tonight but pray?

Don't you like your bride?

You are beautiful,

Hayat, but I am unhappy.

Do you love another woman?

If you don't consummate our marriage,

you'll be thrown from a tower.

- Can I ask you something?

If I tell you a secret,

will you keep it?

I promise.

Then look.

Now you know my secret. If I'm betrayed,

I'll be thrown from a tower!

- I won't betray you, Warden!

Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini (Italian: [ˈpjɛr ˈpaːolo pazoˈliːni]; 5 March 1922 – 2 November 1975) was an Italian film director, poet, writer, and intellectual.
