00:00The Immortal Pen of James Fenimore Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement,
00:12blazing action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring
00:19and courage of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, King of Cook,
00:28of the Mohicans.
00:37While we wait, if you want to catch a pigeon, Blackfoot, you make sure he's in the trap.
00:47My father, you cook too good.
00:49Daddy admits, son, I'm getting fat on my own middles.
00:53We got company.
00:58Great ghost of the devil.
01:07What's the matter?
01:08Trouble, son.
01:09Never thought I'd see that evil face again.
01:12Thought he was long dead.
01:13Get out the back way and keep the cover.
01:15But if you are in trouble, let me help.
01:17No trouble, son.
01:18Just do as I say.
01:19I can handle him better when you ain't here.
01:21My place is by my father's side.
01:23You're a fine boy, son.
01:26I brought you up like you was my own son.
01:28But I taught you to obey, too.
01:30Now get to the trading post and stay there till I come for you.
01:33But my father, I do not understand.
01:35You don't have to understand.
01:36Just get and get fast.
01:43Don't let him get away.
01:56Don't bother loading, Ned.
01:58Ain't going to get a chance to use it.
02:01You wouldn't kill your old partner in cold blood?
02:05You broke your promise to me, Ned.
02:07We were supposed to get rid of that Indian boy years ago when he was just a spout.
02:10That was an evil thing we'd done, Sarge.
02:13Stealing that boy.
02:14The Creole Indians were good.
02:16They were peaceful.
02:17You've gone soft, Ned.
02:19I come back here after all these years ready to cut you in on a new deal.
02:22And I find the boy's still alive.
02:25Now I got to do something about him.
02:27And about you.
02:32You're running feet.
02:55You're not Ned?
02:56No, I tripped.
02:58Who shot at you?
02:59I do not know.
03:00My father is in trouble.
03:02Please help.
03:04Old Chief Saginaw of the Crees is dying.
03:07And his son will be the one that inherits the silver mine.
03:10Then your old pal, Sarge Cronin, fills his pockets with silver.
03:13Nice plan, ain't it?
03:15Then that's what you're going to do.
03:17Take the boy back to his real pa, Chief Saginaw?
03:20Not him, Ned.
03:21I got me another boy.
03:23I got me another Indian, Blackfoot.
03:25I'm going to pass him off as the Chief's real son.
03:27Him?
03:28What about my boy?
03:29What about him?
03:30Like I told you, Ned.
03:31I'm going to take care of him.
03:32And of you.
03:33No, Sarge.
03:35No.
03:36Sorry, Ned.
03:37I can't take a chance on either one of you spoiling my game.
03:44White men come.
03:45What about the boy?
03:47They shoot him.
03:48Good.
03:53My father!
04:01My father!
04:02No.
04:05Oh, no, go on.
04:07Your father.
04:08He's Chief Saginaw of the Cree tribe.
04:12And I'm Cronin.
04:13I'm here to find my father.
04:14I'm here to find my father.
04:15I'm here to find my father.
04:16Chief Saginaw.
04:17Cronin.
04:18My father.
04:19No, no, no, no.
04:22Your grace is with him. Ned, this is Hawkeye. Who did this to you, an Indian? No. White
04:34man. Sarge. What is this? I do not know. I have always had it. Does this mean anything?
05:04Anything to you? Pure silver. We work with silver. Only Indian of noble birth have neckpiece
05:48man. One man white. He'll mark deep in mud. Travel light in hurry. I think we on trail
05:56of killers. Those marks and tracks show scenes on both sides. There's only one tribe that
06:00make them that way. Joran. They took the water. We have lost them. Cannot follow. Well, I'm
06:07not so sure. Lake is big. They could go anywhere. How we trail over water? The Cree nation lives
06:13that way across the blue waters. The white man, the Indian who killed Ned Weaver have
06:17been heading straight in that direction. We find there. I think there's a chance. And
06:22that's where we'll find Chief Saganar, Koala's real father. I don't see where we've got anything
06:26to lose by heading that way. I do not see men. It was like ghosts attacking us.
06:55Ghosts not shoot arrow like this. Joran do. That gives you the creeps all right. You can't
07:06shoot him if you can't see him. It's Joran arrow. Can tell by painted feathers. Joran
07:12far from own land. Being trouble. That white man we're tracking must be hooked in with a
07:17bunch of them somehow. Well, we can't cook a meal in this canoe. We've got to find a campsite.
07:23Let's try that far shore. Sun's fixing to set soon.
07:53Thanks, Koala. You're learning fast.
08:23You make good warriors. We better shot around. If there aren't any more of your
08:28guys, we'll make camp.
08:58This time Blackfoot not miss. No more, Koala. Now, me, Koala.
09:08It feels better already. You're a good doctor. Medicine man of Mohegan. Teach me roots and bark
09:29that cure you. Well, I've circled five miles and backtracked. Not as you're on in sight.
09:35This is arrow that comes from wound. Silver. Crees make silver arrows. Someone sure doesn't
09:45want you to get to that Cree village. Cree not shoot brave in back. More like Huron. Maybe
09:52steel make look like Cree. Maybe the Huron have made a treaty with the Cree. More likely the
09:57Hurons just moved in and took over. They could be after something the Crees set high stock in,
10:03silver. Huron not make things of silver like Cree. White man do. You can just bet there's a
10:10white man behind us. Village seems peaceful. Cree is peaceful tribe.
10:33But have evil guess. Huron not welcome in Cree village. They sure in charge now.
10:43Jimmich, Cook and I are going to scout around. Try to find out why you're not welcome in the
10:48village. You'd better hide here. But if there is a fight, I want to help. See? It is almost
10:53better. Now, almost isn't enough if things get rough. Let me take a look at that.
10:57Ah, it's healing up fine. What does that do me? I do not know. Like this, I have always had it.
11:07Snake. Just like neck piece. Better take it. Best way to prove to Chief Saginaw,
11:17Koala is son. You think we can get to the chief without the Huron seeing us? You follow.
11:24You don't need any more proof than that, Chief. What are you waiting for? This is Koala,
11:32the son that was stolen from you by Ned Weaver and raised by the Hurons. He's your son,
11:37all right. Saginaw accepts son, if Saginaw, sure. I do not feel anything here.
11:54Saginaw not lived many moons. Good for three people have son of Chief all time.
12:18Saginaw be happy. A pale face would have calmed the son. Did the chief die? Huron and Lightman,
12:35still silver. I'll be thirsty for the taking if he convinces the chief that Huron is his son.
12:41The secret of the mind passes you, Chief, the son. I'll see you back to Koala.
13:00You'd better hide out a while longer. We're going to try and parley with your father.
13:03Why I not go too? Well, it's just a little too dangerous yet. We'd better go alone. We'll be
13:08back for you. This time, we're going to try the front door.
13:38We got visitors. It is the white man, an Indian who friend of Koala. Used to be friend, you mean.
13:56Ain't no more. You're Koala now. Don't forget that. What you talk with Saginaw.
14:01Ain't going to get the chance. We come in peace. Welcome. I am called Beaver. I'm Hawkeye. This
14:08is Jinnitch Cook of the Mohicans. The Mohicans are brave men. It's very important that we talk
14:14to your chief. Saginaw, sir. When Chief Saginaw hear Hawkeye's words, we'll feel better. Can
14:23white man's words free our people from being slave of Huron? So Saginaw's newfound son hasn't
14:28been much help, huh? What Hawkeye know of Saginaw's new son? Maybe even more than the chief himself.
14:34Can we talk to him? Go.
14:45Hello, your friends, Beaver. We come in peace. That so? What's your business, mister? It's with
14:51the chief. The old man's sick. Practically retired, you might say. His son's the new chief.
14:57And Koala don't like white men. All except you, huh, Sarge? What's that you call me?
15:02That's your name, isn't it? Seems like I recollect Ned Weaver telling me about an
15:06old army friend of his that he used to scout with. The description fits you easy.
15:12The only army I remember mislead the rifle. Now get.
15:19He was just leaving, wasn't he? Looks like the Huron aren't as friendly as the Cree.
15:24Let's go, Jinnitch Cook.
15:32Find out where they camp.
15:52Go to Island of Pines on North Shore. We need you. Tell your chief his true son waits for him.
16:02Why have we come to this island? Why we not go in Cree camp, meet my father?
16:16Bad pale face have other Indian take your place. Act like chief.
16:21You can bet they won't let you near your father.
17:03Keep watch. See nobody follow.
17:09You spoke to Beaver's son, Koala. I believe this to be your true son.
17:17Suddenly I am a father with many sons.
17:23You wear same birth gift as other son. How is an old man to know the truth?
17:29I only know what my heart tells me. I feel that it is true.
17:44Royal snake have power to strike those that try step on him.
17:52The sign of my true son, Koala.
17:57Welcome, one white man bring evil and sorrow to Sagamore's heart.
18:05This one bring gladness. Cree forever grateful.
18:11I'm just glad you two found each other again. Do you mind if I ask you a question?
18:16What Hawkeye wish to know?
18:17You couldn't have been fooled by that other Indian saying that he was your son when you
18:21knew he didn't have this on his chest. Why did you accept him?
18:24With Crees, slaves of Hurons and white man, Sagamore need time to think, to plan.
18:30If you refuse other son, nothing is gained. This way, everything gained.
18:38Are they after the secret of the Cree silver mine?
18:40It is so. The secret that is passed only from chief to son.
18:45Now time has come. Follow me, my son.
18:55Now you know my son. And friends of my son too. I trust.
19:15Go on.
19:27Beaver, take chief Sagamore to the mine. You, hide in the mine with your father.
19:31Cree warrior do not hide.
19:32But you're the one they're looking for. You're the one they're after.
19:34I do not hide.
19:45We'll make it about 50 paces and then let them have it.
20:04Now.
20:15Oh, that's true, Wes. All have rifles, just badges.
20:23Let him laugh. We'll take care of him later.
20:31Right now, let's get rid of those other Hurons.
20:34It's a fine Huron.
21:04So here's someplace. We'll root him out if we have to comb the island inch by inch.
21:35OK.
21:43More Hurons on the other side of the island.
21:46Yeah, let's go.
22:04There they are.
22:35Chief Sagamore and Beaver, they found it. Come on.
22:55OK, get in our car.
23:09Hold it, guys. Drop those guns.
23:24Go on, get the canoes. All right, let's get moving.
23:43So that you will not forget my people.
23:54My people will not forget you. Thanks, Qualla.
24:03May the great spirits watch over your days until you return to your brothers.
24:29Join us again at this same time next week for another of James Fenimore Cooper's gripping tales of the early American frontier.
24:36Another exciting adventure of Hawkeye and his blood brother, Chingach Cook.
24:42Last of the Mohicans.
