00:00The immortal pen of James Fennimore Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement,
00:13blazing 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, Chingach Cook,
00:28the last of the Mohicans.
00:42Chief in canoe is Tuscarora. Well, looks like he's hurt.
00:47Look, brave is Tuscarora, too. Shoot her, Chief!
01:17Chingach Cook, Hawkeye, me, Tawanduma, Chief of Tuscarora.
01:39You have trouble with your braves. Tawanduma, make long journey. When I get back to my people, I find...
01:55We better get him out of here before that Tuscarora comes back with some of his friends.
02:09How is he? Chief, not that hurt. Good. You find Tuscarora fine? Yeah, some new and some old.
02:23But I found something else kind of interesting. Come on. Well, he'll be all right for a minute.
02:39It's pale-faced fire. Black smoke from greenwood. Indian not build fire like that.
02:53That's white men, all right. They're not very good woodsmen, giving away their position like that.
02:58Pale-faced, not wise. With Tuscarora warriors in forest, if they see smoke...
03:04That's what I was thinking. You think Tawanduma will sleep for a while? Chief sleep like papoose.
03:26New settlers, not half-scout, not wise. Rifles not ready. If Tuscarora strike like pigeon in claw of eagle, they've got to learn to take care of themselves.
03:45We teach? Yeah, we'd be doing them a favor.
04:00Hey, Marty. Throw a little more wood on the fire, will you? Aye, I can.
04:17See, that wet stuff will burn if the fire's hot enough. Not as snug as shipboard, but when a man gets to be a landlubber, he's got to give up a lot of things.
04:28Say, Captain, when are you going to let us pick out our homestead? Oh, there's plenty of time for that. Maybe tomorrow morning.
04:37It's nice to have a home at last.
04:43Halt! Indians! Halt!
04:48Burn the guns! Watch the bloody parties, Marty! Take the horses!
04:53Don't stand there, man! Get the rifle!
04:56Who are you? What do you want? What do you got?
05:00Nothing, man, nothing. The Indians have it all.
05:04Do not move!
05:07Just like I thought, you Indians can't even keep your bargain.
05:10Now, talk. Who's the leader of this group? Me, Captain Horatio Watkins, former master of the finest square rigger that ever sailed the Atlantic.
05:20Well, I want to talk to you.
05:24Go to camp.
05:34Now, Mr. Whatever-Your-Name-Is, perhaps you'll be good enough to tell me what all this is about.
05:39Glad to. You're sitting here in the wilderness, completely unprepared. We just proved to you that two men could take over your whole camp.
05:46What chance do you think you'd have with a Tuscarora war party?
05:49What business is that of yours, mister?
05:51We're not afraid of any Indians.
05:53Well, maybe you ought to be.
05:54What for?
05:55We're under the protection of Tarwin Duma himself, chief of the Tuscaroras.
05:59Now, who are you?
06:01I'm Hawkeye. This is Chingage Group.
06:04Tell me more about this deal you've got with Chief Tarwin Duma.
06:08Hi, Mr. Hawkeye. I'd be glad to tell you. And in a few words, too.
06:12We bought and paid for this whole valley.
06:15It cost us practically everything we had, but we figured it was worth it.
06:19All this without spilling a single drop of blood.
06:22A home and peace with the Indians.
06:25Peace with the Indians. We're friends with them.
06:36When did you last see Chief Tarwin Duma?
06:38Oh, it must have been five or six days ago now.
06:41We're expecting him and the Tuscaroras to come calling on us and smoke a peace pipe any day.
06:56Tuscarora. War feathers.
06:58War feathers?
07:02Other feather mean they want powwow.
07:05What does he mean, powwow?
07:07It means they want to talk to you.
07:09But they're our friends.
07:11Why an arrow with war feathers?
07:14I certainly don't understand this.
07:17Why an arrow with war feathers?
07:20I certainly don't understand this.
07:23Let's talk to him.
07:54Now what happens?
07:56The Tuscaroras will meet with us.
08:02Now remember, no matter what they say or do, stay peaceful.
08:06Aye.
08:24Welcome aboard.
08:26What news do you bring for my good friend Tarwin Duma?
08:32Tarwin Duma, false chief.
08:35Why? What's happened?
08:37Where is Tarwin Duma?
08:40What does long rifle do here?
08:43Inani. You were the feathers of a chief.
08:46Inani is chief of Tuscarora tribe.
08:49Inani is chief of Tuscarora tribe.
08:52You, on Tuscarora hunting grounds,
08:55when sun sleeps for night,
08:58you'll be gone.
09:05We bought this land fair and square from Tarwin Duma.
09:08I've got the papers, and we're going to stay.
09:11You face lie.
09:20We bought and paid for this land.
09:22What'll I do?
09:25You heard him, Inani.
09:26I always thought Tuscaroras were men of their word.
09:29Tuscarora make no treaty with feathers.
09:32Get nothing.
09:33How can that be?
09:35I paid Tarwin Duma myself.
09:37Tarwin Duma will have had.
09:39Tribe get nothing.
09:41When moon rises, you'll be gone.
09:44Don't look like things is working out, Captain.
09:46It certainly doesn't. Not by a long sight.
09:49That fellow says he's chief of the tribe,
09:51and our agreement with Tarwin Duma means nothing.
09:56What do you reckon's going on?
09:58Well, if Tarwin Duma was honest about the deal he made with you,
10:02he'd be happy.
10:04I don't think so, Captain.
10:06I don't think so, either.
10:08I don't think so, either.
10:10I don't think so, either.
10:12I don't think so, either.
10:14The only thing we can do is try to get him back in again
10:17as chief of the Tuscaroras.
10:20With Inani figuring on attacking before nightfall,
10:23that's kind of a big chore to swallow, isn't it, Mr. Hawkeye?
10:27Kind of.
10:43Well, what are you all staring at me that way for?
10:46You heard what the fellow said.
10:48Sure we did, Captain, and that's just it.
10:50What are we supposed to do now?
10:52I don't know what you're all getting the wind up about.
10:55You all heard the fellow say he was going to get Tarwin Duma back in as chief.
10:59We heard that engine's warning, too.
11:01I say, if we know what's good for us, we'll get out of here.
11:04Get out fast while we still got our scalps.
11:06Now, hold on a minute there.
11:08When you all sign the board with me,
11:10it was agreed that I was to be captain of this here settler ship,
11:13and you agreed that every man Jack of us had the right to talk up
11:16when they came to decide in what course we was going to sail.
11:19So I did.
11:20But we didn't come to this valley
11:22just to turn around and leave it the moment we dropped anchor.
11:25No, we didn't.
11:27We came here because we thought we'd bought peace with the engines,
11:30but we got no peace.
11:32The engines took our money, and now they want our scalps.
11:35There's other valleys.
11:37I say leave.
11:40Maybe what Marty is asking us to do is right.
11:43Maybe we should get out.
11:45But we came out here to find a home for ourselves and our children,
11:49a port where we could feel we were free men.
11:52This valley's the home we found,
11:55the home we bought and paid for.
11:58And I don't cotton to being scared out of it by any pack of Indians.
12:02Then you figure we should stay,
12:04take a chance on this Hawkeye fellow to get us out of this fix?
12:08Well, the way I see it,
12:11a home ain't worth much that ain't worth fighting for.
12:14I got an idea a Hawkeye's going to find Tallinn to me.
12:19I got an idea a Hawkeye's going to find Tallinn to me.
12:22♪
12:46Ching, it's good.
12:49It's Tuscarora arrow.
12:52Leathers mean war arrow.
13:02Look.
13:06Tracks of two different braves.
13:08Talwinduma stood there.
13:10Chief tracks stopped there.
13:12Brave tracks get deeper, mean they carry.
13:15But why are they taking him?
13:17It doesn't make any sense.
13:18If they wanted to kill him, they would have done it here.
13:23They're not headed for the Tuscarora camp.
13:39They try to go fast.
13:41There's three sets of moccasin prints now.
13:43Talwinduma's on his feet.
13:45Make harder to catch.
14:10You have Talwinduma, good.
14:13Look now, great Talwinduma.
14:15Mighty chief of Tuscarora.
14:19Inani speak truth.
14:21Talwinduma is chief.
14:23No true chief of Tuscarora sell valley to Paleface.
14:26Talwinduma not do so alone.
14:28Wise men of tribe agree.
14:30Ah, old fools.
14:32Inani no want Paleface here.
14:34Inani only want to be chief.
14:36That is why he lied to tribe about me.
14:38That is why he tried to kill me
14:40before I can tell council of treaty
14:42and make payment to tribe.
14:44Where Talwinduma hide money?
14:46Talwinduma tell only to council as chief.
14:50Tuscarora have no use for dead chief.
14:53You kill me, he will die.
14:56After you tell where you hide treasure Paleface gave you.
15:00Bring prisoner.
15:04It's only two or three hours till sunset.
15:06The settles will be wiped out by the Tuscarora.
15:08You follow Talwinduma.
15:10Leave a clear path that I can follow fast.
15:13I go back to the camp.
15:15I get the settles to move out of the valley.
15:17When they are safe, I come back
15:19and try to rescue Talwinduma.
15:38Welcome aboard, Mr. Hawkeye.
15:44We've got the situation well in hand.
15:46You've got nothing but trouble, captain.
15:48Oh, no, I wouldn't say that.
15:50By the way you've got this camp set up,
15:52it would take the Tuscaroras about ten minutes to wipe you out.
15:55You've got about an hour and a half
15:57to break camp and get started out of this valley.
15:59If you want to save your scalp,
16:01you've got to get out of this valley.
16:03I've got to get out of this valley.
16:05I've got to break camp and get started out of this valley.
16:07If you want to save your scalp, you'll do as I tell you.
16:09Start now.
16:11We've taken a vote on this, Mr. Hawkeye.
16:14We've bought this land.
16:16It belongs to us.
16:18And we're not going to give it up.
16:30Take Talwinduma into tipi.
16:32Kinani will get tried.
16:34Then we'll make Talwinduma talk.
17:04We'll make Talwinduma talk.
17:34You'd better go back away and keep an eye out for the Tuscaroras.
18:04You'd better go back away and keep an eye out for the Tuscaroras.
18:35So you've got him.
18:37Our troubles are over then.
18:39Nope, we've still got a long ways to go
18:41and the Tuscaroras are right behind us.
18:43But we've already plotted the course.
18:45All Talwinduma has to do is to tell them the truth when they get here.
18:48And then take over as chief again.
18:50It's not that simple.
18:52Why not?
18:54Kinani has convinced the Tuscaroras that Talwinduma is a chief.
18:56Not worthy to be chief.
18:58They won't take his word for anything.
19:00Hawkeye right.
19:02Listen.
19:04They take scalp of all pale face and of Talwinduma.
19:08Then we're just as badly off as we were before.
19:10Not if we can prove to the tribe what really happened.
19:20Kinani and war party come.
19:22No time to prove anything now.
19:24We'll all lose our scalps for certain.
19:26Don't take any bets on that captain.
19:28We've still got a fight chance.
19:32Settlers not move.
19:34Get warriors.
19:36Circle camp.
19:38Kinani give signal for attack.
19:40Settlers move.
19:42We take scalp.
19:44Drive from valley.
19:46Then Tuscarora be powerful tribe.
19:50I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you.
19:52Don't make any false moves, Kinani.
19:56Hawkeye fool too.
19:58Tuscarora is a powerful tribe.
20:00Hawkeye fool too.
20:02Tuscarora braves all round.
20:04Hawkeye scalps soon hang from Kinani belt.
20:06I was thinking we might make a kind of a trade.
20:10Kinani no trade.
20:12Well, I've got something I think you'd be interested in.
20:16What trade Hawkeye want make?
20:18Talwinduma will take you to the treasure.
20:20You can have it all for yourself.
20:24In return we want a chance for Talwinduma to tell Tuscarora his side of the story.
20:30We make trade.
20:32Good.
20:34But Kinani want trusted brave with him.
20:38All right. We'll do it your way, Kinani.
20:48Take away stone.
21:00Satisfied now?
21:02Kinani satisfied.
21:04Good.
21:06Then you can call off your warriors.
21:08Let Talwinduma tell about the deal he made with the settlers.
21:10Talwinduma no talk.
21:12But you gave us your word, Kinani.
21:14A true Tuscarora chief never breaks his word.
21:18Only rabbit like Talwinduma keep word.
21:20Chief must be strong.
21:22I'm not a rabbit.
21:24I'm not a rabbit.
21:26I'm not a rabbit.
21:28Chief must be strong.
21:30That why Talwinduma will die.
21:32Why Kinani will be chief.
21:34Sure.
21:36Because you lied to the tribe.
21:38You let Talwinduma tell his story.
21:40They know what a great honorable chief he is.
21:42And that Kinani speaks with the fourth tongue of a serpent.
21:44Tribe will never know.
21:48You're wrong about that, Kinani.
21:50Because you've just told them everything I want them to know.
21:52All right, Jinkich cook.
21:58Let's go.
22:06I think it's about time that Kinani found out
22:08just what he walked into.
22:18You see, Kinani,
22:20I had Jinkich cook bring the tribe here to learn for themselves.
22:22Seemed the only way to bring out the truth.
22:28The tribe know what to do with him without any help from us.
22:52Council of Tuscarora has met.
22:54We have come to tell you decision.
22:56Well, that's fine.
22:58I'm very glad to hear it.
23:00But would you mind telling us what it is?
23:02Tuscarora tribe will honor agreement with Paleface.
23:06We all live in valley in peace.
23:10Chief, I don't know what to say.
23:12Except maybe thanks.
23:16Wouldn't get a ship aboard with us, would you, mateys?
23:18We could certainly use a couple of good hands like you.
23:22No, I reckon not, captain.
23:24Cannot paddle canoe on dry land.
23:28Hawkeye and me want to find new rivers, new lakes.
23:32Only way to be happy.
23:34I reckon I understand what you mean, mateys.
23:38All I can say for everything you've done for us is
23:40may you have happy sailing
23:42wherever you go.
23:54Join us again at this same time next week
23:56for another of James Fenimore Cooper's
23:58gripping tales of the early American frontier.
24:02Another exciting adventure of Hawkeye
24:04and his blood brother, Chingachkook.
24:06Last of the Mohicans.
