Genghis: The Legend of the Ten (2012) - full transcript
A little known fact is that Chinggis Khaan, better known as Genghis Khan, would collect orphans from his bloody battlefields and have his own mother raise them. These adopted brothers grew up to become his most loyal officials and advisers. Khaan organised his Mongol soldiers into groups according to the decimal system. Soldiers were arranged in units of 10 ("aravt"), 100 ("zuut"), 1,000 ("minghan") and 10,000 ("tumen"). Each unit had an appointed leader reporting to a larger unit. A 10-person "aravt" unit is ordered by Khaan to locate a skilled doctor who lives in a forest. En route, they discover an abandoned baby. He is in fact the child of an enemy warrior who gives pursuit, even though they have saved the child's life. Whilst protecting the child from attacks from enemy soldiers, the members of the "aravt" must also complete their mission. Through their actions, they demonstrate the benevolence and bravery of Mongol warriors as the final battle closes in.

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
