00:00The immortal pen of James F. Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement, blazing
00:16action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring and courage
00:23of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, Chinguchkuk, last of the
00:32Mohicans.
00:33A little sneak at Oneida's.
00:50Well, I'm through being a walking target.
00:54Come on, men, we're going to fight back for a change.
00:57Lieutenant Briggs, we can't go past this boundary.
01:01We're treaty bound not to chase into Oneida territory.
01:04There's nothing in the treaty saying we have to say thank you for being sniped at.
01:07Lieutenant, that's militia, man.
01:09We got enough worries without disobeying a red coat colonel's orders.
01:13Just to remind you, Fiber, out here I'm in command, not Colonel Dillon.
01:17Now fan out and shoot on sight.
01:19Meaning no disrespect, Lieutenant, but that's an order you've got no right to give.
01:22All right, Fiber, since you seem to be thinking like a book soldier, stay here.
01:29Now, what about the rest of you?
01:50An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
01:55No mark in the tree's going to stop me.
01:57Even if I have to do it by myself.
02:02Well, what are we all standing here for?
02:04We can't let the lieutenant do all the work for us.
02:27There he is!
02:37There he is!
02:39Hey, devil!
02:47There.
02:49There.
03:19There.
03:25There.
03:34There.
03:39There.
03:41There.
03:48What have I done?
03:51What have I done?
04:11There.
04:24Regulations.
04:27That's all that's keeping me from hanging you.
04:29And it would be a fair example to all militia men.
04:32But hang you will when the commissioner general gets this report.
04:36Hawkeye.
04:38Colonel.
04:40Greetings, Chingaskook.
04:42What's this all about?
04:44The orderly said something about transporting a prisoner.
04:47I want you to take this man to the territorial capital.
04:50Well, since when have you stopped using your own guardhouse?
04:53Seems to me you could cool off a prisoner just as well right here.
04:56This young hothead will cool off with a rope around his neck.
04:59I trust the court-martial will concur with my report.
05:02What you been up to, son?
05:04Dereliction of duty is no matter to be taken lightly, Hawkeye.
05:07This man, a lieutenant in command of a patrol of the King's militia,
05:10by his own admission,
05:12violated our peace treaty with the Onedas.
05:14What I know of the Onedas,
05:16they're not very good at keeping treaties themselves.
05:19Oneda, smile in face, stab in back.
05:22The fact remains that we are not at war with them.
05:24Maybe you don't think so, Colonel.
05:26But as long as Kootenai's chief of the tribe,
05:28the Onedas will always be in the war path.
05:30Your opinion is of no consequence, Mr. Briggs.
05:33You will conduct the prisoner to the capital
05:35and deliver him to Colonel Quentin for trial.
05:37Colonel, it's not the kind of a job that I hanker for,
05:40delivering a man to the gallows.
05:42Couldn't you send some of your own troops?
05:44I can't spare any. We're on demand as it is.
05:47It's the same excuse you gave when you refused to march in and rescue my men.
05:50If I'd had regular soldiers in my patrol instead of militia,
05:53you'd have had a whole garrison after Kootenai.
05:55Your rashness cost us your patrol.
05:57I do not propose to lose this fort by acting in the same manner.
06:00Come on, Lieutenant. We'd better get started.
06:03Goodbye, Colonel.
06:05Goodbye, Hawkeye.
06:14You know, threatening yourself sick about those charges
06:16won't make them any less serious, Lieutenant.
06:18I'm not thinking to myself.
06:20It's my men.
06:22Just over that border, they're prisoners of the Onedas.
06:24Nothing being done to help them.
06:26Well, what makes you so certain they're still alive?
06:29A band of them that attacked us
06:31used their guns as clubs instead of shooting them.
06:33They sure wouldn't do that
06:35if they just wanted to lift a few scalps.
06:39Chingichgook,
06:41do you mind guarding the prisoner by yourself for a while?
06:44Where are you going, my brother?
06:46I'm going to do a little treaty violating myself.
06:59Come on!
07:01Come on!
07:03Come on!
07:05Come on!
07:07Come on!
07:09Come on!
07:11Come on!
07:13Come on!
07:15Come on!
07:17Whoo!
07:19Come on!
07:21Come on!
07:23Come on!
07:25Come on!
07:27Come on!
07:29Come on!
07:31Come on!
07:33Come on!
07:35I'm back.
07:37No torture prisoner now.
07:39Couldn't they ask
07:41for last time
07:43how many soldier in fort?
07:47Pale-faced not afraid die?
07:49Couldn't they know
07:51how make them want die?
07:53You say nothing.
07:55Maybe not need tongue.
07:59Couldn't they cut out?
08:01Wait till the word gets around
08:03to the other Indian nations
08:05what Kootenay's idea
08:07of a peace treaty means.
08:09You'll have a new name.
08:11Faceless one.
08:23Right.
08:25Not a trifle.
08:49You and Edith
08:51travel pretty far south
08:53on your raids once a year.
08:55Heard you went as far
08:57as the Father of Waters once.
08:59Me live for many years
09:01with Natchez tribe on shore,
09:03the Father of Great Waters.
09:05This is same wood
09:07they use for make prisoner,
09:09make talk.
09:13Natchez
09:15teach me how
09:17make brave
09:19Natchez
09:21teach good.
09:23No make Natchez torture.
09:25Get that tongue a wagon.
09:27Kootenay
09:29sell soldiers.
09:31They didn't look sold to me.
09:33What are they doing still in your village?
09:35White man come soon.
09:37Bring much wampum.
09:39You're lying.
09:41No white man's fool enough
09:43to buy soldiers.
09:45No lie.
09:47Kootenay
09:49with Ottawa.
09:51Ottawa buy many slave.
09:53Not care where come from.
09:55So Kootenay's messing around
09:57with white renegades in Ottawa.
09:59It's about time someone showed him
10:01he's getting a might too big
10:03for his britches.
10:05No talk more.
10:07You've talked enough.
10:09You want to prove to the colonel
10:11that he's wrong about you?
10:13Hawkeye hanging is unimportant to me
10:15He wants to save the men of your patrol
10:17and to stop Kootenay
10:19from getting the Onidas on the war path.
10:21Don't even stop to breathe.
10:23What about him?
10:25Him tied good.
10:27And you too?
10:29Kootenay is going to get paid a visit
10:31from a white renegade in Ottawa
10:33a little sooner than he expects.
10:45Look at the savage.
11:05Don't give him the satisfaction
11:07of seeing you break.
11:09Well, let's go.
11:11I hope the chief never met
11:13poor Ottawa brave named Attaka.
11:27Greetings Kootenay,
11:29great chief of the Onidas.
11:31I'm Joe Acker.
11:33This is Attaka of the Ottawas.
11:35Ottawa tribe
11:37send greetings.
11:39First time white man see Kootenay.
11:41How no name.
11:43All men of woods know name of Kootenay.
11:45Name of Kootenay on many tongues.
11:47Manner to smile.
11:49You give wampum,
11:51me give slave.
11:53That's what Attaka and I came here for.
11:55What is this,
11:57the famed Onida hospitality?
11:59To talk of bartering
12:01before the care and comfort of friends
12:03who have just made a long journey?
12:05White brother wish
12:07Kootenay over.
12:09You go in tipi,
12:11eat, rest.
12:13When sun hide face,
12:15then we barter.
12:21Dirty renegade.
12:39Well,
12:41we've got him fooled so far.
12:43When sun hide face,
12:45what we use for wampum?
12:47Potter and ball if we're long-winded enough
12:49with our bartering.
12:51We better start doing some praying
12:53as the lieutenant gets here with the colonel
12:55and the military before we run out of words.
13:09Appears like there's no time to say our prayers,
13:11let alone have them answered.
13:15Him Hawkeye,
13:17Chingagook,
13:19Mohican, not Ottawa.
13:21Got to hand it to you, Kurok.
13:23Never expected to see you here.
13:25Mohican, Thai good,
13:27like squaw.
13:31Kurok say,
13:33fort week,
13:35Mohican,
13:37fort week,
13:39not many soldier.
13:41While Hawkeye die,
13:43Oneida attack.
13:45You've got a treaty with the fort, Kootenay.
13:47You're supposed to be a man of your word.
13:49Kootenay man of word,
13:51prisoner break treaty.
13:53Come Oneida country,
13:55make war.
13:57That's not the way I heard it.
13:59They were out on a patrol.
14:01Your brave shot at them, tricked them into a trap.
14:03You don't keep your word, Kootenay.
14:05You speak with the tongue of a lion snake.
14:17But you've got to listen to me.
14:19My men, they're going to be sold
14:21as slaves.
14:23Hawkeye and Chingagook, they've gone.
14:25To their deaths, no doubt.
14:27Arrest him.
14:29Colonel, I didn't think this up.
14:31Hawkeye sent me to get you in the garrison.
14:33Kootenay's stirring up the Oneidas,
14:35and there's no telling when they'll hit the warpath.
14:37Briggs, I don't know how you escaped
14:39from Hawkeye and Chingagook,
14:41or what you expected to gain by coming back here.
14:43But let me tell you one thing.
14:45You're going to the gallows if I have to take you there myself.
14:47My neck's unimportant right now.
14:49It's my men,
14:51prisoners of the Oneidas,
14:53and the safety of this whole territory I'm worried about.
14:55The safety of this territory is my concern.
14:57And I need no advice from the likes of you.
14:59Take him to the guardhouse, Sergeant.
15:01Lock me in the guardhouse, even hang me if you want to.
15:03But hit the Oneidas first
15:05before they massacre the whole garrison.
15:19Guards! Guards! You got it!
15:21Ain't no use you asking me again, Lieutenant.
15:23You know the colonel won't see you.
15:25He gives me specific orders.
15:27He's got to. Them savages will be attacking any time now.
15:29I hope so. And in my book, a colonel's always right.
15:59Sound General Quartus!
16:03Let me out of here!
16:17Youngie's getting ready to leave fort.
16:21Couldn't he set trap
16:23like catch patrol before?
16:25We've got to try and warn the colonel.
16:27One sound, you die.
16:29Make Youngie's chief think
16:31only few warrior.
16:33Him come out,
16:35not go back.
16:39We will stay in tight formation
16:41until we make the woods.
16:43Then deploy and fire at will.
16:45They must be a small party or they would have attacked in force.
16:47Open the gates!
16:49Colonel, wait!
16:51You're just exposing yourself to a trap.
16:53The same kind of trap I rushed into.
16:55Quick, march!
16:59Colonel!
17:03Oh, I pray to heaven I'm wrong.
17:13Hold fire.
17:15We take more slaves for other ones.
17:17Fall back!
17:19Not fair!
17:21Kill all Youngies!
17:33Hold fire!
17:41Release Lieutenant Briggs
17:43and bring him to my quarters.
17:46If you're not valuable to Goodney,
17:48you'll be dead.
17:50Bring all white men.
17:52They make good shields.
18:04Shoot!
18:06Shoot!
18:08Shoot!
18:10Shoot!
18:12Shoot!
18:14Shoot!
18:16Shoot!
18:19Hold it!
18:21It's Hawkeye and Jingetsko.
18:23Open the gates!
18:30Untie us.
18:34Where's the colonel?
18:36He's wounded. He's placed me in command.
18:38There's just one chance in a million
18:40of not being overrun by those Anita's out there.
18:42Maybe saving the lives of those men.
18:44Anything you want in the fort is yours, Hawkeye.
18:46Maybe all I'll need is my bare hands.
18:55We stand in back.
18:57Soldiers in fort not shoot,
18:59kill own men.
19:02Goodney!
19:04What are you, a squad chief
19:06hiding behind real men?
19:12Goodney show Hawkeye
19:14who's squad chief
19:16when take Hawkeye's scalp.
19:18The other tribes will all laugh
19:20when they hear how two men with their hands tied
19:22got away from the Anita's.
19:24The Ottawa's will spit
19:26when they hear the name of
19:28Goodney, the rabbit-hearted chief
19:30who hides behind white men.
19:32Hawkeye brave
19:34hide in fort.
19:36Make fight with tongue.
19:38You come out.
19:40Goodney show how fight.
19:42I'll make a deal with you, Goodney.
19:44I'll meet you
19:46man to man, barehanded
19:48for the lives of those prisoners.
19:50So be it.
19:52Goodney lose fight
19:54three prisoners.
20:10This time, Hawkeye,
20:12I kill.

22:13Live in peace.
22:15Now,
22:17me become Mohican again?
22:21Yeah.
22:29Anything more we can do for you before you leave, Hawkeye?
22:31Well, that's just what I was gonna ask you, Colonel.
22:33Well, now you mention it, there is one thing.
22:35You can tell the Commissioner General that I'm taking an extended leave.
22:38During my absence, I'm recommending one of his militiamen
22:40to take command of the garrison.
22:42I didn't know you were planning on a leave, Colonel.
22:44There are compensations for
22:46being nicked in battle.
22:48Methink me no name of militiaman.
22:50It's Lieutenant.
22:52No, Chinkage Cook.
22:54You're wrong.
22:56He's Captain Briggs now.
23:01Well, that's one decision you didn't make rashly, Colonel.
23:04Congratulations.
23:05Thanks, Hawkeye.
23:06We'll deliver your message.
23:07Thank you, Hawkeye.
23:08Goodbye, Colonel.
23:09Goodbye.
23:16Join us again at this same time next week
