00:00The immortal pen of James F. Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement, blazing
00:14action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring and courage
00:21of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, Chinguchkuk, last of the
00:29Mohicans.
00:30Girl, not scream.
00:44This you're on territory.
00:45Let go of me.
00:46You hear that?
00:47Let go.
00:48You better listen to the lady, Chinguchkuk.
00:50And you'd do well to listen to him.
00:55This forest's not safe for a girl alone.
00:58We're headed for the settlement if you'd like to...
01:00You'll never take me back.
01:01Never.
01:02Well, it sounds like you're running away from the devil himself.
01:06You ought to know.
01:07You're getting a bounty from Stark.
01:09He sent you after me, didn't he?
01:11We're not after any bounty.
01:12We don't even know anyone named Stark.
01:15We're new to this territory.
01:16Then I'll be thanking you for your concern, gentlemen.
01:20And I'll be on me way.
01:23How far do you figure she'll get before she runs into the Hurons?
01:27Oh, maybe to Next Trail, Soon-Be-Slave in Huron-Teepee.
01:32I don't know, though.
01:33They sure like those long-haired scalps.
01:36Well, we tried to warn her.
01:38Come on.
01:39We got a lot of ground to cover.
01:40Wait.
01:41You can't leave me here alone.
01:46Well, I thought that's what you wanted.
01:48No.
01:50I only want to get away from Stark and that terrible farmer of his.
01:54Look, beat me he does.
01:57And all because I was tricked into being a bond servant.
02:00Came from Ireland, I did, because I thought this was a free country.
02:03Well, it is.
02:04But if you're a bond servant to this Stark, maybe you should go back to him.
02:09I was tricked, I tell you.
02:11I signed a paper for passage from the old country, not knowing what it was.
02:15Run away, not good.
02:16Well, they'll just keep after you till they catch you.
02:20There is justice in this land.
02:21It may be a little slow, but it usually wins out.
02:24If you're speaking the truth, there are people here who will help get you free.
02:27And if they don't, I'll be a slave for seven years.
02:32If I lost it.
02:35You won't last more than about seven hours out here.
02:37If you go back, I'll see that your story is heard by the right people.
02:42You seem a man of your word.
02:50And what with the farm and me father dying.
02:54And seeing the fine ships sailing from Cobh for the New World.
03:00I said to meself,
03:03Bridget Mullaney, you've got to find passage.
03:07And a new life.
03:08And maybe a fine husband.
03:12Did you get enough to eat, Bridget?
03:15Another mouthful.
03:16And the robes of the Lord Mayor of Dublin himself would fit me.
03:23White man, come.
03:31Don't move, any of you.
03:39So, you got help this time to steal away.
03:42Come here.
03:43It's no use looking at him.
03:45If he tries to help you again, I'll be in my rights blowing his head off.
03:51If you're Mr. Stark, we were just about to head for your farm.
03:54Likely.
03:55After stealing my servant.
03:57You're a good enough woodsman to find us here.
03:59You can backtrack the trail and see where we stopped her.
04:01So you're after the bounty after all.
04:03My apologies.
04:05But seeing you all so friendly.
04:07That musket, a man could get hurt looking into one of those.
04:13You wild cat.
04:15Still not trained, are you?
04:16You'll have to kill me first.
04:18And you.
04:19Scaring me with tales of heurons.
04:21All for ten shillings a Judas coin.
04:24She says she's a free woman.
04:26Was tricked into bondage.
04:27They ought to be.
04:29She says she's a free woman.
04:31Was tricked into bondage.
04:32They all say that.
04:34Eager enough to bondage themselves for a free trip here.
04:37Then kick like a mule against serving their time.
04:40I wouldn't want to turn her over to the wrong man.
04:42Do you mind if we go on to the farm with you and take a look at the contract?
04:45Don't have to.
04:48Don't try running or I'll really make you regret it.
04:52With runaway bond servants, a man has to be ready to show he's bought them.
04:56A hundred pounds, that's pretty steep.
04:58Help short.
04:59Bond servants are in great demand.
05:03Is that your mark, Bridget?
05:05Yes.
05:06But I told you.
05:07He knows what you told him.
05:10Satisfied?
05:13The law says you're entitled to a bounty for catching a runaway.
05:17I keep my cash at the farm.
05:19The bounty you'll keep.
05:28When fawn trapped by wolf, eyes cry out for help.
05:33Slavery in a land is wide and free.
05:36The Commissioner General will want to hear about this.
05:43A request from the Commissioner General is just like a royal command.
05:46I'll do anything I can for you, Hawkeye.
05:48Well, to begin, Sheriff.
05:50Can you give me the names of anybody around here who has bond servants?
05:53I'd be glad to if I thought it would do you any good.
05:55But they'll just wave their contracts under your nose and without proof they're not legal.
05:59It's their word against ragtag penniless outlanders.
06:02Well, that's why I'm here, Sheriff.
06:04Because I believed one of those penniless outlanders.
06:09Mr. Travers.
06:10Oh, Sheriff, I didn't know you were busy. I'll come back later.
06:12Never too busy to see you, Jonathan.
06:15Besides, I want you to meet someone from the Commissioner General.
06:18Hawkeye and his blood brother Chingichka.
06:20Well, gentlemen, a pleasure.
06:22He feels the same way we do about bonded servants, Hawkeye.
06:25Oh, I'm opposed to slavery of any kind.
06:27Then I don't imagine it's any of your ships they're coming over on.
06:30The Sheriff here can vouch for my policy in that respect.
06:32He wouldn't tolerate it.
06:34Do you have any idea of how they're getting here?
06:36Well, I've made inquiries from several ships' captains.
06:38But, unfortunately, the mere mention of bonded servants, they become a pretty close-mouthed lot.
06:43No closer mouth than the settlers who are buying them.
06:46I tell you, Hawkeye, to try and find out who's behind all this is like chasing a will-o'-the-wisp.
06:51Well, it seems to me that somebody around here could be persuaded to talk.
06:55Somebody almost did. A settler named Jenkins.
06:58Yeah, it's a tragic case, that.
07:00Several people are under the impression he was murdered by the Indians.
07:03We know different.
07:05Wasn't quite dead when James and I found him.
07:07He said just two words, bondage man.
07:10Do either of you gentlemen know a farmer around here named Stark?
07:14Oh, yes. He lives about eight miles west of here.
07:17Well, I'm much obliged to you for your help.
07:19Hawkeye, if there's anything I can do, or ship's records, you know, things like that, well, I'm at your service.
07:35Will-o'-the-wisp, like feather in wind, fly many ways, leave no trail.
07:41My brother know where to begin, Hunt.
07:44Well, there's only one place that we can begin.
07:46That's by collecting the bounty we got coming to us.
08:00Miss Pritchett.
08:06Come for your thirty pieces of silver, I suppose.
08:10I don't need help from the likes of you. Leave me be.
08:14I've got to play along with Stark, so he'll think I've just come for the bounty.
08:19Chop some more wood or something.
08:21I've chopped enough.
08:22Well, just in case Stark is watching, so he'll think I'm just passing the time of day with you.
08:26I want you to think and think hard.
08:28Try to remember something that will lead us to the man who sold you to Stark.
08:32Get away. You'll only get me another beating.
08:34There won't be any more of that if you'll just believe I'm trying to help you.
08:37Okay.
08:42Seems to me you're pretty uppity just for a servant girl.
08:56I suppose you came for the bounty.
08:58Yeah, that's right.
09:00Ten shillings.
09:03Now, if you don't mind, there's work needs doing.
09:06And idlers will only be in our way.
09:08Ten shillings isn't much for helping you save a hundred pound investment.
09:11That's not much bounty, Stark.
09:13Bounties are set by law.
09:15Laws can be changed or broken.
09:17Not by me. Good day, gentlemen.
09:26Sinners, your day of judgment is coming.
09:31Philistines, repent.
09:33Down on your knees and beg forgiveness, you carouses in Sodom and Gomorrah.
09:37Go and squander your evil money in Satan's temple.
09:41Oh, ma'am, we don't rightly know just what you're talking about.
09:44I saw you taking my brother's money.
09:47So you can swill like swine in the trading post.
09:50Philistines, repent.
09:53Me, Mohican?
09:55The things they're saying about Matt, they're not true.
09:59Nobody knows better than I. I'm his sister.
10:02Not even Naomi.
10:04Naomi?
10:05Don't pretend.
10:07I saw you talking to her. I saw you.
10:10You mean Bridget?
10:12Their names are all in here.
10:14Ruth and Sarah and Esther.
10:17They came to me by sea.
10:20But you'll never find them.
10:22Matt and I will see to that, you men of evil.
10:26Matt's a good man, a God-fearing man.
10:29You tell them that at Satan's temple.
10:31Agatha!
10:33I must go now. Matt doesn't like me talking to strangers.
10:46Squaw talk with tongue of spirit.
10:49I don't know what kind of tongue she talks with, but now we know where we can spend this money.
10:54Satan's temple.
11:00To thine own self be true.
11:03Is the way my dear mother used to put it.
11:06And I've practiced her teachings religiously ever since.
11:16The powder will be 15 shillings.
11:19You favor anything else, gents?
11:21If your appetites need sharpening, I'm featuring a rare brand of sugar-cured bacon.
11:26You got any calico?
11:28Only the finest.
11:30Now what in tarnation would a man of the woods be wanting with a lady's fabric?
11:34It's for my bond-servant.
11:36Well, I...
11:38I suppose you thought you knew everyone in these parts who owned such a luxury.
11:42Of course not, sir. A body can't know everyone.
11:46How many yards?
11:47I thought I'd leave that up to you.
11:50Well, I'd have to know her girth and height.
11:52How'd I know that? I haven't bought her yet.
11:55What you mean is, you've got no immediate need for calico.
11:59There's 30 immediate pounds in that pouch.
12:02For anyone who helps me buy a bond-servant for my farm.
12:06I... I might be able to arrange it.
12:10When?
12:11If you can meet me here later, tonight.
12:14I'm sure I can fill your calico order.
12:25Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
12:29nor standeth in the way of sinners,
12:32nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
12:36But his delight is in the law of the Lord.
12:41Ah!
12:42It's a window! That's hideous!
12:45Hey, Lou, what are you doing here? The girl might have recognized you.
12:48We have meeting. Come.
12:49This time of night? I do no such thing.
12:51You come.
12:52Why can't it wait till morning?
12:53Hey, Lou, no ask why. You come!
12:56Wait for me in the barn.
13:15Fetch my hat, girl.
13:16That Indian, he's...
13:18He's what?
13:19I... I thought I'd seen him before.
13:22But... I guess I'm wrong.
13:25Take your seat, brother.
13:27I haven't finished reading from the book.
13:29Agatha, I have to go out.
13:31You mustn't leave this house.
13:32Satan's out there, and the night I saw him...
13:34That was only an Indian friend of mine.
13:36Now, don't you worry.
13:39Nothing's going to happen to me.
13:42And, uh, go on reading.
13:44It'll comfort you while I'm gone.
13:46I know.
13:47You're going to see that my girls are safe.
13:54See that Agatha gets a cup of hot tea before she goes to bed.
14:11Not like Simon.
14:13Even wind whisper.
14:16Try the door.
14:41Come in.
15:00Good evening.
15:01We'd like to talk to Mr. Stark.
15:03He's out.
15:04Well, then we'll speak to his sister.
15:06Take a look around. Search the barn.
15:08Visitors, how pleasant.
15:10Get some more tea, Naomi, please.
15:12Well, never mind that, ma'am.
15:14All we want's a few words.
15:16I knew you were a God-fearing man.
15:18Not like those people of Satan's temple.
15:20Well, that's what I wanted to speak to your brother about.
15:23A man was murdered tonight at the trading post.
15:25Matt never goes there.
15:27It's God's hand that struck down the blasphemer.
15:30Yes, ma'am.
15:32But we've got to protect the innocent.
15:34You and your brother, and Naomi here, and your girls.
15:38You want to make sure that they're all safe, don't you, Miss Agatha?
15:41Don't you call me Naomi.
15:43Me given name's Bridget.
15:45And leave her be.
15:46Don't you see how she is?
15:48Oh, young lady, Hawkeye's only doing his duty.
15:51How long ago did your brother go out?
15:53Matt's a good man.
15:55I told him my girls would be in danger,
15:57and he went to see that they would be safe.
15:59He's been gone all evening.
16:01You sure?
16:02That Indian that took me off the boat come for him.
16:05These eyes of mine will never forget him.
16:08Terrible scar on his face.
16:11The way he looked at me.
16:13Like death.
16:15Indian?
16:16Boat?
16:19We're getting someplace, Hawkeye.
16:22Miss Agatha.
16:25Your girls are in danger.
16:27Oh, no.
16:29Matt will protect them.
16:31Maybe you and me better make sure.
16:34Where are they?
16:36In the Lord's keeping.
16:38Yes, ma'am, I know.
16:42It's awful easy to feel forsaken.
16:45If you could be there with them,
16:47you could read to them out of the good book.
16:49That would be wonderful.
16:53Oh, but I can't.
16:55Matt wouldn't like it.
16:57But when he comes home, we'll all go together.
17:05I can't understand why Matt didn't come home last night.
17:09Well, he's probably guarding your girls, ma'am.
17:12Oh, yes, he was.
17:15Remember, you swore on the book to take my girls out of Babylon
17:18and restore them to me.
17:20I'm sure they'll come to no harm, ma'am.
17:22We will take them out of the hands of the wicked,
17:24and they'll be rejoicing.
17:30Keep marking the trail.
17:32Travers ought to be along with the sheriff soon.
17:42I've done wrong things in my life,
17:44but never bushwhacking.
17:46Hawkeye, no too much.
17:48Then why don't we face them like men?
17:50I don't take to killing in cold blood.
17:53Too late to start getting squeamish now, isn't it, Stark?
17:57My bargain with you didn't include murder.
17:59You've taken your share of the profit.
18:00Now you'll do as you're told.
18:01Evil men, that's what we are.
18:03Just like Agatha says.
18:04If it wasn't for that dim-witted sister of yours,
18:06this violence wouldn't be necessary.
18:07There's no harm to come to her.
18:09I gave you my word.
18:11Now, you'd better get into position.
18:12They'll be coming soon.
18:18His sister's guiding Hawkeye.
18:20I'll take care of him.
18:23His sister's guiding Hawkeye.
18:25He might get a chance to get in an extra shot.
18:29Knife better.
18:46Listen.
18:52Hear nothing.
18:53That's what bothers me.
18:54No birds, no animals, nothing.
18:56How much farther is it?
18:57The cabin's just past the next ravine.
19:00Come, we must hurry.
19:01Hurry too fast.
19:03Foot foot in quicksands of death.
19:05We'll wait here.
19:06Travers and the sheriff shouldn't be far behind.
19:08Backtrack and tell them to hurry.
19:18We're wasting our time.
19:20They've probably gone back to the settlement.
19:21They'll be along.
19:23Why would Agatha want to lead anybody here?
19:26From the day she saw me take those bonded girls away from the barn
19:29and followed me, she's kept it to herself.
19:31Just like a child, she'll say anything.
19:34Stop worrying.
19:35After today, our little enterprise will continue to prosper.
19:42Nobody on trail.
19:43Far back is farm.
19:45Oh, we can't wait any longer.
19:48We're ready, ma'am.
19:50We're ready to go.
20:10I can't.
20:11I can't do it.
20:14Go.
20:16Get back.
20:17Get back.
20:18Take cover.
20:19Ambush.
20:28Come back.
20:31Leave the hawk eyes.
20:37Get back, ma'am.
20:38We're open targets here.
20:49Let me go.
20:50I want to share.
20:51I can't.
20:52Let me go.
21:13Jobs.

24:00Sheriff, you're elected.
24:03Hawkeye, forgive me for ever doubting you.
