Original subtitles

Aravt literally means "Ten Families"

It was a unit of the decimal system that

was employed to control both civilians

and the military in ancient Mongolia

It was also the smallest unit of its army

During the 13th century, Genghis Khan

fought to unite the Mongolian tribes

Once, after a particularly fierce battle,

a terrible plague spread amongst his men

Khan ordered a single Aravt unit to find

the Master Physician in remote mountains

Greetings, my Lord

How is your Aravt?

The battle is over. We are returning home

The battle with Hulin tribe has proved

that your Aravt soldiers are true warriors

Commander Tsahir

But now is not the time to return home

There is still an important mission for you

His Majesty has ordered you to invite

the Master Physician from Hulin tribe

I will, my Lord

Please accept the Great Khan's command

This mission concerns thousands of lives

Be careful

In order to locate the Master Physician,

The Aravt heads to the Hulin tribe's settlement

that has just been recaptured by Genghis Khan

The rebel Hulin army is still active

In this dangerous mountain forest,

what is awaiting the Aravt?

Let's leave this place

Check the area

You, come with me

I shouldn't have let you return home

My son? My son?

Where is my son?

Find him!

Now!

Stay away from me!

Leave me alone

Get away. Away!

Here, use this to make a fire

Bukhtenger

I'm starving

Who isn't? Why can't you bear it?

I would rather die than always be hungry

Just let me have a bite, Bukhtenger

If I gave it to you, what would the rest eat?

Stay away from me

Maybe then you can have some tea

Here

Make a fire

A glutton is silenced with a scrap of food

I once asked him his favorite meal

He said whatever can fill his stomach

Am I right, Sulbekh?

Of course!

How wonderful to have a full stomach!

I heard a noise

When I went back, I found this child

I couldn't bear to leave it behind. So I took him with me

It seems this child is the lucky one

It's not easy raise a child

Someone must take care of him

Uujim likes children. Just give the child to him

I would rather just leave it here with

only a sheep's tail to suckle on

Give him to sleepy Uujim

Don't cry

Perhaps this child will grown up a hero

Heekher? Why didn't you consult with us

before bringing the child with you?

Lord, already Sulbekh is begging for food

And now we have another mouth to feed

It's the first time Bukhtenger makes sense

And I've known him for such a long time

Do we really need another mouth?

Sulbekh

One more person may increaes our luck

But who can care for this child?

Don't look at me. I don't know how

Why do I always have to do women's work?

Bukhtenger

You are the most cautious and gentle

Whoever brought him should take him

Don't expect me to care for him

Father, did I do wrong?

Saving a life is always right

Ready to go?

Bring the child

Bukhtenger, tighten your saddle

Hold this wolf food for a moment

What a poor little thing

Why must Bukhtenger curse him like that?

It's not a curse

Then what does he mean?

According to our custom,

only a true hero can be eaten by wolves

What? Why?

He expects this child to grow up a hero

Come on. Give him back to me

The ashes are still warm. They're near

Lord, let's camp here

I'm so hungry

You'd really die for a full stomach

Is this the Master Physician's homeland?

I heard he leaves the mountain in winter

From summer you can't find him anywhere

Nobody seems to know where he really lives

Grandpa, the herbs are growing fast

Yes, the wind and rain have been good

Let's collect some more

After his defeat, Hulin tribe's leader,

Hukhtumur, planned to travel west

But after years of battle, he fell ill

Only the Master Physician can save him

Offense is always the best defense

A good show

Nachin... Nachin...

You'll wear out that sheepskin

The more I rub it, the softer it gets

A well-rubbed sheepskin is like silk

The one who wears it will live long

Thanks for your kind wishes

In old age,

grandchildren are everything

Let's finish our mission quickly,

and return home earlier

Yes, my Lord

Did anyone find footprints?

Master, they've left the mountain

Look, there're footprints here

Perhaps it's only deer

No, it's something even bigger

Maybe we could have a real feast

I'll look around. You fetch some water

At war, you must be as fierce as a wolf,

and as agile as a leopard

Something is happening

Be quiet

We're being followed

Perhaps they've been following us

because of the child

Let's just hang the boy on that tree

and let them find him there

Whether we return the child or not,

they won't let us go that easily

They'll assume we slaughtered their people

We shouldn't have taken the child

We haven't completed our mission yet

We can't take care of so many things

There's no point in arguing

No one has the heart to abandon the boy

Be quiet and keep moving

The Holy Sky God Tenger will protect us

My humble greetings

Your father Hukhtumur is a wise man

Taking the Master Physician means

securing the Sky God's magical medicines

Was anything strange on your journey?

Nothing. Is something bothering you?

We can't be too careful.

My Lord, it's too dangerous to stay

Even after we broke up his army, our enemy Hukhtumur is still here,

searching for the Master Physician

What? Hukhtumur?

Yes

Just now, a group went to meet with him

and have the Physician with them

Where is Shijirsanaa?

I don't know. We split up at the river

He might be hiding from the enemy

It's truly a small world

We never expected Hukhtumur to be here

Hukhtumur must have killed the child's family

My Lord, let's just capture the Physician

No, we can't do that

What then?

Should we just stand by and do nothing?

Let's watch and see what happens first

Quiet

My Lord, the Physician's lives over there

Is it really the Physician's camp?

Yes, it is

Put on your armor

Hurry up. Lead the way

Okay

Your pulses indicates your poor health,

therefore you must rest and recuperate

I've already told you many times

Master Physician,

how can I remain calm?

After my tribe has been scattered

just like sand with nobody to lead them?

We all live upon the same grassland

We are all descended from the same ancestor

There is no need to fight one another

Why can't we all unite under the Sky God?

Wouldn't it be better to be one nation?

I wish for that too

I don't have a strong hand to guide me,

so I have to take reckless gambles

If you were to stand by me and assist me,

I would surely unify the whole nation

I understand that you and your ancestors

have always hated the Kyiyan Mongolians

The best way to conquer is to make peace

Your words go straight to my heart

Temujin and I have fought for decades

I cannot end up as his slave

Harkhor, the son of Hukhtumur,

is giving chase to the Aravt

to rescue his son and avenge his people

The Aravt seeks the Master Physician

and are about to face a great danger

Follow the river so as not to leave a trail

Have you found them?

Master

Where are they?

My Lord, I lost them

My Lord...

I met her yesterday

What's wrong, my child?

Grandpa, Harkhor and Bukha are approaching

Father, why are you still here?

An Aravt is closing in on us

What? Aravt?

They passed by my father-in-law's camp,

killing my wife

and stealing away my son

I chased them but lost them in the forest

Only ten people. They're not after us

They surely want the Master Physician?

Don't think too much, take him with you

I won't leave here without

cutting off their heads

Don't be so bull-headed

My life is in the Physician's hands

If I can stay alive until I reach Xisha,

I'll make an alliance with its king,

defeat Temujin and take the grasslands

These are the most important things

Only then can we take our lands back

Hurry and secure the camp

Mount the horses! Go!

We're posting guards to protect you

Miss, I'll gladly watch over you myself

I'm only here to invite the Physician

My name is Shijirsanaa

We've been waiting three days

Hukhtumur has strengthened his defense

You won't get near my grandfather

When do you plan to leave here?

Tomorrow morning

Then I must return now

Is there any chance to save the Physician?

Early tomorrow morning,

he will pray to the mountain spirits

I must leave now

What's your name?

Unumunkhlei

Ahai,

are we going go fight today?

Why do you say that?

Before every battle,

you talk to the Sky God, don't you?

Son, nobody wants to go into battle

Ahai?

Are you afraid of death?

If you can't conquer your fear of death,

you will die quickly and be forgotten

A hero's death will be remembered always

Our solders must fight without fear

I am not afraid of dying like that

What are you afraid of then?

Becoming ill or injured, being a burden

What a beautiful night

Do you remember shooting fire arrows?

Yes, I remember

We were really good at that

So were you

I have to go now

Unumunkhlei...

I have something I want to say to you

You lazy good-for-nothing!

How many would have time to draw their swords

before being butchered

You sleep as troops pursue us

Eter, I was only thinking of my mother,

I don't know how I fell asleep

Get up

Don't worry, I'm awake now

You were never meant to be a soldier

Your father thinks you're already a warrior

But just look at you...

When I was a child,

my father was killed in battle

My mother was so sad when I joined the army

She feared that she'd never see me again

Eter

I'm afraid I'll never feel her touch again

If you sleep on duty again,

you may never see you mother again

Ok, go get some real sleep

Uujim, a person with a mother won't die

Let's set off early

I must pray to the mountain spirits

May the mountain spirits bless our journey

Take some solders with you

I don't need solders to make a sacrifice

Let them stay here and prepare the horses

I had a terrible dream last night

The Almanac said that my life is in danger

so I must be unusually cautious

Little one, who are your parents?

Master Physician!

Who are you?

I'm sorry to startle you. I am a solder

with direct orders from Genghis Khan

Praise to Genghis Khan

My loyalty and devotion is steadfast

But I am a prisoner, what can I do?

The Aravt!

Nachin, give him water

It seems that...

I cannot serve Genghis Khan in this life

Commander,

bring out the imperial gold plate

Swear in front of the imperial plate

that you'll help me fulfill my final wish

Don't worry, I will help you

Please save my granddaughter's life...

My granddaughter...

Granddaughter...

Master Physician!

Master Physician!

There are troops in pursuit, we must go!

Master, the Physician is dead

This arrow killed him

Unumunkhlei,

I wasn't able to protect your grandfather

I should have been there to save him

Are you sure he's dead?

Who killed him? Where is Harkhor?

Go after her. Hurry!

Grandfather...

Grandfather, what happened to you?

Please wake up!

Nachin, how are you feeling?

Nachin, drink some water

My Lord Tsahir,

I can't serve you anymore

Leave me here

Eter,

your father and I have been good friends

You and my son have to become friends

According to custom, just help me die here

Don't hesitate

There's no time

You must go

Holy Sky God... dear ancestors...

please accept our hero into your arms

Poor Unumunkhlei

The Physician's murderers aren't far

I will take revenge for her

As will I

Poor Nachin,

you prayed to your ancestors everyday,

but couldn't have a decent burial,

just left alone in the wilderness

He was just followeding ancient tradition

We are not to weep

He must be watching us from above

Our mission is to protect the Physician,

now how can we face our great leader?

The granddaughter has been kidnapped

What do you want to do?

I promised the Physician

that I would protect her. I must save her

We still have troops chasing us

If we are to offend Hukhtumur again,

don't you think we are asking for trouble?

It was the Master Physician's final wish

So you are willing to die for a girl?

I don't want to die for such stupidity

I'd rather be punished by our great leader

I cannot go back on my word

I won't force you to join me

"The flowers are blooming in summer"

"Our yearning for home runs deep"

Father,

I made you angry once, do you remember?

Did you?

It was a foggy morning like today,

I broke the halter when saddling the horse

I don't remember that

Now you are a warrior

Give this sheepskin to Nachin's grandson

What a foggy morning

None of you should join me

According to tradition,

we must dress our horses in silver armour,

before going into the final battle

Although we don't have silver armour,

we are loyal to you.

Alive or dead, we are all brothers

We must take care of Nachin's descendents

We'll talk after completing our mission

Ten friends bound together in life and death

Let's move

On your knees!

There's no need. Please sit

Your grandfaher's death is unfortunate

He always said that you were special

Master, please take your medicine

This way!

They've escaped. Catch them!

My son!

It's time for the last battle,

I can see my horse in silver armour

I will be a hero

Bukha

Bukha

Where am I?

You are close to death, my master

What are you saying?

You rotten slave

I will not be your slave any longer

Serve my grandfather in hell

Why are you doing this?

Bukha

I burned your in-law's camp, killed your wife

I left your son alive for the enemy

I shot the doctor so that your father will die

I don't want to go with Hukhtumur

I never knew you were so dark and evil

I'll be the leader of Hulin tribe

You and your father are obstacles in my way

Once I have sent your father to Genghis Khan,

my dream will have come true

Honorable Harkhor from Hulin is dead!

A soldier who fails his mission must die

I give my life to fulfill my vow as a warrior

My master,

I have terrible news

What happened? Is everybody dead?

Master, I'm deeply sorry for your loss

Tell me

How did my son die?

Your son was a true hero. He died in battle

Arrogance does not befit a hero

But you are truly brave and invincible

The Aravt is here. We must get away

Keep running

Bukha

Great. With horses we'll be fine

The horses have saved us

I am the leader of Hulin now

How about becoming my wife?

How could you...

If I killed your grandfather, would I have saved you?

Uujim!

Heekher!

My child, my son

Heekher, my sworn friend

Completing a missions is a solder's duty

Just as blood and milk cannot mix

Sometimes duty conflicts with human nature

In such a situation,

Aravt soldiers are not only loyal warriors

but also merciful people

My Lord, please accept my repentance

I failed my mission

I only brought the Physician's granddaughter

What?!

I ordered you to bring the Physician

Yes, My Lord

The Master Physician's death is my fault

I'll take full responsibility

What's done is done. You must be punished

According to ancient law,

return your army's flag, and end your life

Send away your Aravt

My Lord,

I accept the punishment

Wait!

Please forgive him

Tsahir sacrificed his troops and his own son

to save my grandfather and I

If you punish this loyal warrior

without understanding the true situation,

you will surely regret it later

Unimolihe, please stop

I disobeyed the imperial edict

I deserve to die

You are wrong

You're not guilty. You are a great warrior

You saved my life

Please allow me to beg for mercy

Commander, please forgive him

My grandfather taught me all he knew

I can take the place of my grandfather

Please forgive Commander Tsahir

If that is true, please stand up

You came to me to ask for punishment

By this, you've shown your loyalty and bravery

I will beg for mercy from Khan

What else do you want to say?

Please allow me to adopt this child

You may

Since your Aravt saved his life,

name him Aravt

I hope he grows up to be a great warrior

This is a story about an Aravt

On the grasslands of Mongolia,

there were countless Aravt stories

They have contributed to our great history

Their descendants have kept this spirit

of honour and loyalty without end
