The immortal pen of James Fenomore

Cooper

brings you thrilling tales of

excitement.

Blazing action on the early American

frontier.

Stirring adventures filled with the

daring and courage of Hawkeye.

First of the long rifles and his blood

brother Ching Nutachk. Last of the

Moheakans

[Music]

[Applause]

girl not scream

this you're on territory

me he let go you better listen to the

lady Chingagegook

and you do well to listen to him this

forest's not safe for a girl alone

We're headed for the settlement if you'd

like to. You'll never take me back.

Never.

Well, it sounds like you're running away

from the devil himself. You ought to

know. You're getting a bounty from

Stark. He sent you after me, didn't he?

We're not after any bounty. We don't

even know anyone named Stark. We're new

to this territory. Then I'll be thanking

you for your concern, gentlemen.

And I'll be on me way.

How far do you figure she'll get before

she runs into the Hirons? Oh, maybe to

next trail soon be slave in Huron Tepee.

I don't know though. They sure like

those long-haired scalps.

Well, we tried to warn her. Come on, we

got a lot of ground to cover.

Wait,

you can't leave me here alone. Well, I

thought that's what you wanted. No, I

only want to get away from Stark and

that terrible farm of his.

Look, beat me. He does. And all because

I was tricked into being a bond servant.

Came from Ireland. I did because I

thought this was a free country. Well,

it is. But if you're a bond servant to

this Stark, maybe you should go back to

him. I was tricked, I tell you. I signed

a paper for passage from the old

country, not knowing what it was. Run

away. Not good. Well, they'll just keep

after you till they catch you. There is

justice in this land. It may be a little

slow, but it usually wins out. If you're

speaking the truth, there are people

here who will help get you free. And if

they don't, I'll be a slave for 7 years.

If I lost it, you won't last more than

about 7 hours out here. If you go back,

I'll see that your story's heard by the

right people.

You seem a man of your word.

[Music]

And what was the fine me father dying

and seeing the fine ships sailing from

co for the new world?

I said to myself,

Bridget Melany,

you've got to you've got to find passage

and a new life

and maybe a fine husband.

Did you get enough to eat, Bridget?

Another mouthful and the robes of the

Lord Mayor of Dublin himself would fit

me.

White man, come

[Applause]

[Music]

don't move. Any of you.

[Music]

So you got help this time to steal away.

Come here. It's no use looking at him.

If he tries to help you again, I'll be

in my rights blowing his head off.

If you're Mr. Stark, we were just about

to head for your farm. Likely after

stealing my servant. You're a good

enough woodsman to find us here. You can

backtrack the trail and see where we

stopped her. So, you were off to the

bounty after all.

My apologies, but seeing you all so

friendly. That uh musket. A man could

get hurt looking into one of those.

You wild cat. Still not trained, are

you? You'll have to kill me first. And

you scaring me with tales of hurans. All

for 10 shillins of Judas coin. She says

she's a free woman who's tricked into

bondage. They all say that. Eager enough

to bondage themselves for a free trip

here, then kicked like a mule against

serving their time.

I wouldn't want to turn her over to the

wrong man. Do you mind if we go on to

the farm with you and take a look at the

contract? Don't have to.

Don't try running or I'll really make

you regret it. With runaway bond

servants, a man has to be ready to show

he's bought them. 100 pounds. That's

pretty steep. Help short. Bond servants

are in great demand.

Is that your mark, Bridget? Yes. But I

told you. He knows what you told him.

Satisfied.

The law says you're entitled to a bounty

for catching a runaway. I keep my cash

at the farm. The bounty you'll keep.

[Music]

When fawn trapped by wolf, eyes cry out

for help. Slavery in a land as wide and

free. The commissioner general will want

to hear about this.

[Music]

A request from the commissioner general

is just like a royal command. I'll do

anything I can for you, Hawkeye. Well,

to begin, Sheriff, can you give me the

names of anybody around here who has

bond servants? I'd be glad to if I

thought it would do you any good, but

they'll just wave their contracts under

your nose, and without proof, they're

not legal. It's their word against

ragtag penniles outlanders. Well, that's

why I'm here, Sheriff. Because I

believed one of those penniles

outlanders,

Mr. Travers. Oh, Sheriff, I didn't know

you were busy. I'll come back later.

Never too busy to see you, Jonathan.

Besides, I want you to meet someone from

the commissioner general. Hawkeye and

his blood brother, Chingichka. Well,

gentlemen, a pleasure. He feels the same

way we do about bonded servants,

Hawkeye. Oh, I'm opposed to slavery of

any kind. And I don't imagine it's any

of your ships they're coming over on.

The sheriff here can vouchure my policy

in that respect. He wouldn't tolerate

it. Do you have any idea of how they're

getting here? Well, I've made inquiries

from several ship's captains, but uh

unfortunately with the mere mention of

bonded servants, they become a pretty

close-m closer mouth than the settlers

who are buying them. I tell you,

Hawkeye, to try and find out who's

behind all this is like chasing a will

of the wisp. Well, it seems to me that

somebody around here could be persuaded

to talk. Somebody almost did. A settler

named Jenkins. Yeah, it's a tragic case

that several people are under the

impression he was murdered by the

Indians. We no different. Wasn't quite

dead when James and I found him. He said

just two words. Bondage man. Do either

of you gentlemen know a farmer around

here named Stark? Oh, yes. He lives

about 8 miles west of here. Well, I'm

much obliged to you for your help. Oh,

Hawkeye. If there's anything I can do or

ship record, you know, things like that,

well, I'm at your service. Thank you.

[Music]

[Applause]

Willow the wisp like feather in wind fly

many ways leave no trail

my brother know where to begin hunt

there's only one place that we can begin

that's by collecting the bounty we got

coming to

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Miss Brit,

[Music]

come for your 30 pieces of silver. I

suppose

[Applause]

I don't need help from the likes of you.

Leave me be.

I've got to play along with Stark so

he'll think I've just come for the

bounty.

Chop some more wood or something. I've

chopped enough. Well, just in case Stark

is watching so he'll think I'm just

passing the time of day with you. I want

you to think and think hard. Try to

remember something that will lead us to

the man who sold you to Stark. Get away.

You'd only get me another beaten. There

won't be any more of that if you'll just

believe I'm trying to help you. Okay.

Seems to me you're pretty uppidity just

for a servant girl.

I suppose you came for the bounty. Yeah,

that's right.

10 shillings.

Now, if you don't mind, there's work

needs doing and idlers will only be in

our way. 10 shillings isn't much for

helping you save a 100 pound investment.

That's not much bounty, Stark. Bounties

are set by law. Laws can be changed or

broken. Not by me. Good day, gentlemen.

[Applause]

Sinners, your day of judgment is coming.

Philistines, repent. Down on your knees,

and beg forgiveness he carouses in Sodom

and Gomorrah. Go and squander your evil

money in Satan's temple. Well, ma'am, we

don't rightly know just what you're

talking about. I saw you taking my

brother's money so you can swill like

swine in the trading post. Philistines,

repent.

Me moakin. The things they're saying

about Matt. They're not true. Nobody

knows better than I. I'm his sister. Not

even Naomi.

Naomi? Don't pretend. I saw you talking

to her. I saw you. You mean Bridget?

Their names are all in here. Ruth and

Sarah and Esther. They came to me by

sea.

But you'll never find them. Matt and I

will see to that you men of evil.

Matt's a good man, a god-fearing man.

You tell them that at Satan's temple.

Agatha, I must go now. Matt doesn't like

me talking to strangers.

[Music]

talk with tongue of spirit.

Well, I don't know what kind of tongue

she talks with, but now we know where we

can spend this money. Satan's temple.

[Applause]

To thine own self be true is the way my

dear mother used to put it. and I've

practiced her teachings religiously ever

since.

[Music]

The powder will be 15 shillings.

You favor anything else, gents? If your

appetites need sharpening, I'm featuring

a rare brand of sugar cured bacon. You

got any calico? Only the finest.

Now, what inarnation would a man of the

woods be wanting with a lady's fabric?

It's for my bond servant.

Well, I uh I suppose you thought you

knew everyone in these parts who owned

such a luxury. Of course not, sir. A

body can't know everyone.

How many yards? I thought I'd leave that

up to you. Well, I'd have to know her

girth and height. How' I know that? I

haven't bought her yet. What you mean is

you've got no immediate need for calico.

There's 30 immediate pounds in that

pouch for anyone who helps me buy a

bondervant for my farm.

I I might be able to arrange it.

When? If you can meet me here later

tonight, I'm sure I can fill your town

order.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in

the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth

in the way of sinners, nor siteth in the

seat of the scornful,

but his delight is in the law of the

Lord.

[Music]

out the window. Let me see in

[Music]

Paloo. What are you doing here? Girl

might have recognized you. We have

meeting. Come this time of night. I do

no such thing. You come. Why can't it

wait till morning? Po. No ask why. You

come.

Wait for me in the barn.

Fetch my hat, girl. That Indian. He's

He's what? I I thought I'd seen him

before,

but I guess I'm wrong.

Take your seat, brother. I haven't

finished reading from the book. Agatha,

I have to go out. You mustn't leave this

house. Satan's out there in the night. I

saw him. That was only an Indian friend

of mine. Now, don't you worry.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

And uh go on reading. It'll comfort you

while I'm gone. I know. You're going to

see that my girls are safe.

See that Agatha gets a cup of hot tea

before she goes to bed.

[Music]

Not like Simon

even wind whisper.

Try the door.

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

Good evening. We'd like to talk to Mr.

Stark. He's out. Well, then we'll speak

to his sister. Take a look around.

Search the barn. Visitors. How pleasant.

Get some more tea. Naomi, please. Well,

never mind that, ma'am. All we wants a

few words. I knew you were a god-fearing

man. Not like those people of Satan's

temple. Well, that's what I wanted to

speak to your brother about. A man was

murdered tonight at the trading post.

Matt never goes there. It's God's hand

that struck down the blasphemer.

Yes, ma'am. But we've got to protect the

innocent. You and your brother and Naomi

here and your girls. You want to make

sure that they're all safe, don't you,

Miss Agatha? Don't you call me Naomi. Me

given names Bridget and leave her be.

Don't you see how she is? Oh, young

lady. Hawkeyee is only doing his duty.

How long ago did your brother go out?

Matt's a good man. I told him my girls

would be in danger and he went to see

that they would be safe. He's been gone

all evening. You sure? That Indian that

took me off the boat come from. These

eyes are mine. I'll never forget him. A

terrible scar on his face.

The way he looked at me like death.

Indian

boat.

We're getting someplace, Hawkeye.

Miss Agatha,

your girls are in danger. Oh no.

Matt will protect them. Well, maybe you

and me better make sure. Where are they?

In the Lord's keeping. Yes, ma'am. I

know.

It's awful easy to feel forsaken. If you

could be there with them, you could read

to them out of the good book. That would

be wonderful.

Oh, but I can't. Matt wouldn't like it.

But when he comes home, we'll all go

together.

[Music]

Can't understand why Matt didn't come

home last night.

Well, he's probably guarding your girls,

ma'am. Oh, yes, he would. Remember, you

swore on the book to take my girls out

of Babylon and restore them to me. I'm

sure they'll come to no harm, ma'am. We

will take them out of the hands of the

wicked, and they'll be rejoicing.

[Music]

Keep marking the trail. Travers ought to

be along with the sheriff soon.

[Applause]

Done wrong things in my life, but never

bushwhacking. Hawkeye know too much.

Then why don't we face him like men? I

don't take to killing in cold blood. Too

late to start getting squeamish now,

isn't it, Stark?

My bargain with you didn't include

murder. You've taken your share of the

profit. Now you'll do as you're told.

Evil men, that's what we are. Just like

Agatha says. If it wasn't for that

dim-witted sister of yours, this

violence wouldn't be necessary. There's

no harm to come to her. I gave you my

word. Now, you better get into position.

They'll be coming soon.

[Applause]

His sister's guiding, Hawkeye. You might

get a chance to get in an extra shot.

Knife better.

[Applause]

[Music]

listen.

Hear nothing. That's what bothers me. No

birds, no animals, nothing. How much

farther is it? The cabin's just past the

next ravine. Come, we must hurry. Hurry

too fast. Put foot in quicksands of

death. We'll wait here. Travers and the

sheriff shouldn't be far behind.

Backtrack and tell them to hurry.

[Music]

We're wasting our time. They've probably

gone back to the settlement. They'll be

along. Why would Agatha want to lead

anybody here? From the day she saw me

take those bonded girls away from the

barn and followed me, she's kept it to

herself. Just like a child, she'll say

anything. Ah, stop worrying. After

today, our little enterprise will

continue to prosper.

Nobody on trail far back as far. Oh, we

can't wait any longer.

We're ready, ma'am.

We're ready to go.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I can't. I can't do it.

No.

Get back. Get back. Take cover. It's an

ambulance.

[Music]

Come back.

Name's a hike.

[Music]

It's night, man. We're hoping targets

here.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Where are they?

[Music]

Oh crap.

[Music]

There we go.

[Music]

End of the trail, Hawkeye. It's the end

for you, Travers, because I'm going to

take you in. Ah, never knew you had a

sense of humor. I underestimated you,

Hawkeye. You're overlooking my rit of

habius corpus. This one's powerful

enough to clear me even of murder. Are

you admitting you killed Simmons?

Never could stand greed and stupidity.

As for you, dead man can't testify

against me.

[Music]

You'll forgive me, Agatha.

As the Lord will. I did evil.

I didn't realize the misery. We must all

pay for our sins.

Agatha. Yes, ma'am. Bridget should be

free

like everyone else.

[Music]

Matt's in the judgment seat.

[Music]

The book will help him.

I'll take you to the girls now.

It's a pretty color, miss. Not as fair

as you. I come to buy Calico. Not

compliments.

Now, miss, the town's people gave me

money to buy you clothes, but they

didn't say I had to wear them. Sheriff,

you're elected.

Hawkeye,

forgive me for ever doubting you. Only

that when I met you, I never dreamed I.

Miss Bridget, in this land, never doubt

your dreams because they can come true.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Join us again at this same time next

week for another of James Fenomore

Cooper's gripping tales of the early

American frontier. Another exciting

adventure of Hawkeye and his blood

brother Chingnut Cookook, last of the

Moheakans.

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

The immortal pen of James Fenomore

Cooper

brings you thrilling ing tales of

excitement.

Blazing action on the early American

frontier,

stirring adventures filled with the

daring and courage of Hawkeye,

first of the long rifles and his blood

brother Ching Nutachk, last of the

Moheakans.

[Music]

The center points way out of their

territory.

[Music]

Since winter has cine brave spiders of

women

[Applause]

[Music]

here.

[Music]

Don't be frightened. They're gone.

You're a white man.

She's not an Indian. She's a white

woman. Who are you, man? I'm I'm Martha.

Martha Wales.

Chad.

My baby. My baby.

Chad, you're a white man. You can help.

Help me find my baby, please. White

woman, very sick. Take trading post.

It was 18 years ago. We had a little

cabin, my husband and my three-year-old

son, Jed. And then two white men came.

They had an argument with my husband.

They

killed him.

They gave me and my boy to some Indians.

I I don't know what tribe. How long were

you with them, Mrs. Wales?

[Music]

Less than a week.

The shaman,

you know, the medicine man.

He took Jed away from me and he he sold

me to some Indians from another tribe.

Over the years, I I was sold again and

again as a slave to other tribes.

The only thing that kept me going was

the hope someday

I'd escape and find my boy.

I beg you. Please,

please help me find my boy. That's a

tall order, Mrs. Wales. This is a big

country and 18 years is a long time.

Even if Jed were alive, we don't even

know what he looks like. Now you get

some rest. And when you feel stronger,

we'll talk about it some more.

[Music]

I wonder what the Isino were doing so

far east. They follow white woman slave

any place. We saw two of them, but Mrs.

Whales says the whole tribe's moving

east. Well, maybe they follow deer in

Buffalo.

Hunger greater than fear of a biwa.

Maybe. I can't find out very much from

her. Every time I ask her why the Asin

are on the move, all she talks about is

finding her son. We look for him. I'd

like to help her, but after 18 years,

the chances are pretty slim.

Does a Cinnabo bother me,

[Music]

please?

We've been attacked by aliens.

Please be careful. The wound isn't too

serious. Help me get him inside.

Were you on your way here when the

Indians attacked you? No. They surprised

us out at our farm. First thing we knew,

an arrow hit John and I dragged him into

the barn. Did you get a good look at

them? I certainly did. There were a

dozen of the savages. They set fire to

our house. And then when they were just

about to do the same thing to the barn,

the white man stopped them. The white

man? Yes. The one who was leading them.

A young fellow he was. He was dressed

like an Indian. He was covered with war

paint.

Where did they live? The last farm past

the hill. The Indians have a legend that

one day their great god, the Manitou,

will send them a white prophet to unite

them and get the land back for the red

men. Prophet is white eagle. Legends say

sun of moon and stars.

Well, I was wondering about the white

Indian that Mrs. Lee told us about. Tie

that in with all those tribes coming

into this territory and we'd better make

it our business to look into this.

Goodbye, Mr. Bonour. Goodbye, Mrs. Lee.

I think you'll be all right. Thank you.

Bye.

It's Cree Village. I hope they're

friendly. We go into village. Yeah, we

may have to fight our way out.

[Music]

It's kind of quiet. They don't like us

here. Yeah, like the lull before the

storm.

Hawkeye seek white eagle have message

for a white prophet of Manitou.

You mean the creations have taken a vow

of silence? Why?

No good trying to make cre talk chalk.

They have great secret. Tongue be

silent.

We leave in peace.

And the chief's message tells us

something. If they won't tell us where

White Eagle is, we'll have to find

someone who will.

[Music]

You've seen many tribes not belong this

land. No sign of white eagle. Another

thing, all the tribes seem to be on the

move. But where too? Well, my brother

knows that once each year medicine men

have secret powerup. Maybe that's where

we find white eagle. Hey, that's a

thought. If we could trail one of those

medicine men, maybe we can.

[Music]

We seek the prophet of the manu, white

eagle. Can you show us his path?

[Music]

That pan. I'm not going to hurt it. Did

you get it from the copper man?

Where did you see him?

Thank you.

[Music]

There he is.

Hold copper man.

Hawkeye and Cook. How far into the

territory did you go this trip? As far

as the foothills beyond the big Ajiua

village 10 miles back, I was stopped

there. Stopped by who? Sunbear, the

Ajiua medicine man. He ordered me out of

the country. First time it ever

happened, too. You hear of White Eagle?

Nothing definite, but I might have seen

him where that same Ajibo village.

Stayed overnight there. Saw a young man

step out of the council tepee. When he

saw me, he stepped right back in. I'd

have sworn he was white. And you not see

him again? What took care of that? You

say he was a young man? I judge he was

in his early 20s.

That's about all I can tell you. Well,

thanks, Copper Man. I guess Chingkook

and I have got a couple of chores to do.

Bye. Bye, Copperman.

Come on, boy. Let's go.

[Applause]

If all tribes go on war path, at word of

Manatu's white prophet, much trouble two

men to stop. Two men maybe, but I'm not

so sure about one woman. Woman? White

Eagle's mother? Oh, legend says mother

of white eagle is moon. Well, I think

that white eagle's mother is the woman

we found wandering around in the forest,

Mrs. Wales.

Well, there's one way to find out. We'll

go into the Ajiua village and see what

happens.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

We come in peace.

I am Hawkeye the long rifle. My blood

brother Chingkook and I greet the chiefs

of the crea

cineibone

napay roventor.

I seek the white eagle. I have reason to

believe he is here.

I lie. He does not come in peace. He

comes to destroy White Eagle. I too

speak the truth. Where is the White

Eagle? I want to talk to him about

peace. I want to tell him about his

mother. The White Eagle's mother is the

moon. You do not come from the skies.

You bring a false message. If the White

Eagle is your great prophet, he will

know the truth. Let me speak to him.

Sunbear, right? Hawkeye come with false

tongue.

Many red men die by his long gun.

My long rifle is only for peace. To hunt

game for myself and my friends. We are

at peace. You're our white man. Your

people are our enemies. The white

eagle's skin is white. Is he your enemy?

He is prophet sent by Manitou. I have

fished by the stream. Manitou sent me

fish. I have hunted in the forest.

Manitu sent me game. I've sat in counsel

with many great chiefs. Manitu sent us

wisdom.

Look at White Eagle. Isn't he a white

man? His flesh were cut, wouldn't he

bleed? His eyes were closed, wouldn't he

be blind? His heart were stilled,

wouldn't he die? White Eagle can never

die.

Manitu has made my skin white to remind

me to hate white men.

But my heart is red with love I hold for

my people.

Those who follow me will live even on

war path. A story told you by the

medicine man. You're white. Your mother

is white. She was held a slave by many

tribes. Now she's free. You lie.

I am Indian.

I am white eagle.

Manitou sent me to Sunbear to unite

tribes to drive you and your people into

the sea. Let me bring the white woman

here, my brothers. She will tell you the

truth and we all can live in peace.

White eagle has spoken.

Go False Tongue. If you and Renegade

Brother are in Ojiu land when sun go

down, you die.

Many too whispers in my ear. Hawkeye and

Chingach must be killed.

Manitou's will is mine.

Why we run like sheep? Well, if White

Eagle is Mrs. Whales, son, and we can

get him face to face and prove it, we

might put an end to this White Prophet

story.

Do you hear anything?

[Music]

Too quiet.

[Music]

[Applause]

There are many enemies ahead

and behind us, too.

When I give the word, you turn and shoot

in back of us. I'll shoot ahead and

we'll break for the river.

[Music]

Get ready now.

[Music]

Woohoo!

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat!

[Applause]

[Music]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

We'll never make it. Head for sure.

[Music]

Wait.

This is no good. They'll just follow us

to the trading post. We might never get

a chance to prove who White Eagle really

is. I'll try to hold them off. You go

get Mrs. Wales. You no go. Me no go. No.

You go get her and take her to the Ojiua

village. I'll meet you there somehow.

Now go.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

You stay in Ojiua land after sun go

found. You've got a false story, Red

Stick. I wasn't captured on Ojiua land.

Is this man one who stole your slave?

Sure, she was a slave, but I'm sure that

she's White Eagle's mother. Again, that

lie. I kill. We bring him back for

stealing woman's slave, not for being in

Ojiua land. What say Hawkeye now? I

didn't steal her. Her husband was killed

by a white renegade and her son was sold

to a medicine man 18 years ago. When did

White Eagle come to your tribe? And who

brought him if not Sunbear the medicine

man?

This evil tongue must be torn out. Jed.

Jed baby. Where? Where are you? Jed,

which of you took my son? Where is my

son?

Which of you took my baby?

Oh, God. Have you found my son? Look

there.

Think hard, Mrs. Wales. That's White

Eagle. Is he your boy?

I

can't remember him.

He was so small.

I don't know. Take that woman away. Why

does Sunbear fear this woman's tongue?

He brought you White Eagle 18 years ago.

This woman lost her child in those days.

Better be heard.

Speak.

J.

[Music]

You are Jared.

Don't you remember that little red wagon

father made for you? Don't you remember?

I'm not white man. I remember only son

bear. But you are just Jed's age. You

must be Jed. I only kept alive to find

you.

You are Jed. You have no son. Don't

strike. She has no mind.

Man too speaks to me. Kill that man

and this woman. Their evil turns white

eagle from us.

Kill them and tomorrow we drive out all

white men forever.

[Music]

With one stroke I can kill Sunbear. I

call on the Ajiua law. Sunbear wants my

life. I have his. I ask the right of

battle. You know Ojiua law well Hawkeye.

Release Sunbear

[Music]

or she dies. It is the will of many too.

Sunbear,

let woman go. She must die. You are

breaking sacred law.

You who taught me.

My eyes are open.

Hear me.

Sunbear named me white eagle.

But I know I am just a man.

I am not a prophet.

Sunbear hears not words of manitu

but evil of his heart. The punishment of

Sunbear I leave to the Ojiua.

It will be just.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Jeff,

mother always remembers son.

[Music]

Son must sometimes be taught to remember

mother.

This is a great land we have here. Many

people and many tribes. The Manitou

smiles upon this land where all men can

live together. It is so. And may all

tribes live in peace. We live in peace.

Join us again at this same time next

week for another of James Fenomore

Cooper's gripping tales of the early

American frontier. Another exciting

adventure of Hawkeye and his blood

brother Chinguchk,

last of the Moheakans.

[Music]

The immortal pen of James Fenomore

Cooper

brings you thrilling tales of

excitement,

blazing action on the early American

frontier,

stirring adventures. ers filled with the

daring and courage of Hawkeye,

first of the long rifles and his blood

brother Ching Nutk, last of the

Moheakans.

[Music]

Why we wait? You want to catch a pigeon

Blackfoot? You make sure he's in the

trap.

[Music]

My father, you cook too good. Got to

admit, son, I'm getting fat on my own

riddles. We got company.

Great ghost of the devil.

What's the matter? Trouble, son. Never

thought I'd see that evil face again. I

thought he was long dead. Get out the

back way and keep the cover. But if you

are in trouble, let me help. No trouble,

son. Just do as I say. I can handle him

better when you ain't here. My place is

by my father's side.

You're a fine boy, son. I brought you up

like he was my own son. But I taught you

to obey, too. Now get to the trading

post and stay there till I come for you.

But my father, I do not understand. You

don't have to understand. Just get and

get fast.

Don't let him get away.

Don't bother loading, Ned. Ain't going

to get a chance to use it.

You wouldn't kill your old partner in

cold blood. You broke your promise to

me, Ned. You were supposed to get rid of

that engine boy years ago when he was

just a sprout. That was an evil thing

we' done, Sarge. Still in that boy. Them

creansians was good. They was peaceful.

You gone soft, Ned. I come back here

after all these years ready to cut you

in on a new deal. And I find the boy

still alive. Now I got to do something

about him. And about you

hear running feet.

[Music]

You're not wounded. No, I I trip. Who

shot at you? I do not know. My father in

trouble. Please help.

Old Chief Sagenova of the Crees is dying

and his son will be the one that

inherits the silver mine. Then your old

pal Serge Cronin fills his pockets with

silver. Nice plan, ain't Ned. Then

that's what you're going to do. Take the

boy back to his real paw, Chief Sageno.

Not him, Ned. I got me another engine,

Blackfoot. Going to pass him off as the

chief's real son. Then what about my

boy? What about him? Like I told you,

Ned, I'm going to take care of him and

of you. No, SGE.

No. Sorry, Ned. I can't take a chance on

either one of you spoiling my game.

White man, come. What about the boy? Me.

Shoot him. Good.

[Applause]

[Music]

My father.

[Music]

[Applause]

My father.

No.

No. No. Go. Your father

is Chief Sagenov of the Cree tribe.

Your place is with him. Ned. This is

Hawkeye. Who did this to you? An Indian?

No.

Wait, man. SGE.

What is this? I do not know. I I have

always had it.

Does this mean anything to you?

Pure silver

tree work with silver.

Only Indian of noble birth

have neck piece like this.

[Music]

[Music]

Ching it. Look here.

Two men. One man white. Heelm mark deep

in mud. Travel light in hurry. I think

we on trail of killers. Those mocks and

tracks show seams on both sides. There's

only one tribe that make them that way.

You're on. They took to water. We have

lost them. Cannot follow. Well, I'm not

so sure.

Lake is big. They could go anywhere. How

we trail over water? The creation lives

that way across the blue waters. The

white man and the Indian who killed Ned

Weaver have been heading straight in

that direction. We find there. I think

there's a chance. And that's where we'll

find Chief Sagenar, Koala's real father.

I don't see where we've got anything to

lose by heading that way.

[Music]

Jump in, Koala. Shove off quick. Head

for the center of the lake.

[Music]

I do not see men. It was like ghosts

attacking us. Ghosts not shoot arrow

like this. Huron do.

That gives you the creeps. All right.

You can't shoot him if you can't see

them. Is your arrow can tell by painted

feather. Huron far from own land. Mean

trouble. That white man we're tracking

must be hooked in with a bunch of them

somehow.

Well, we can't cook a meal in this

canoe. We've got to find a campsite.

Let's try that far shore. Sun's fixing

to set soon.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Thanks, Koala. You're learning fast.

You make good warriors.

We'd better scout around. If there

aren't any more Hurons, we'll make camp.

[Music]

This time, Blackfoot. could not miss. No

more koala. Now me koala

chinguk. It feels better already. You're

a good doctor. Medicine man of Moakin.

Teach me roots and bark that cure you.

Well, I've circled 5 miles and

backtrack. Not aon sight.

This is arrow that come from wound.

Silver

cre make silver arrows. Someone sure

doesn't want you to get to that cre

village.

Cre brave in back. More like huron.

Maybe steel make look like cre. Maybe

the huron have made a treaty with the

cre. More likely the hurons just moved

in and took over. They could be after

something that cre set high stock in

silver. Huron not make things of silver

like creed.

White men do. You can just bet there's a

white man behind this.

[Music]

Village seems peaceful.

Cre is peaceful tribe.

[Applause]

But have evil guests,

you're on not welcome in Cre Village

village.

They're sure in charge now.

Chingkook and I are going to scout

around. Try to find out why you're not

welcome in the village. You'd better

hide here. But if there is a fight, I

want to help. See, it is almost better.

Well, almost isn't enough if things get

rough. Let me take a look at that.

Oh, it's healing up fine. What's the

tattoo mean? I do not know. Like this, I

have always had it.

Snake just like neck piece. Better take.

Best way to prove to Chief Sagenoff

Kowal's son.

You think we can get to the chief

without the Huron seeing us?

You follow.

You don't need any more proof than that,

chief. What are you waiting for? This is

Koala, the son that was stolen from you

by Ned Weaver and raised by the Herans.

He's your son. All right. Senor except

son. If Sagenor sure.

I do not feel anything here.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Second not live many moons.

Good for cre people have son of chief

rule tribe.

[Music]

Sagenar be happy for Paleface will

return. Son, if Chief die, Euron and

White Man steal silver. It'll be theirs

for the taking if he convinces the chief

that that Neuron's his son. The secret

of the mind passes from chief to son.

Let's get back to Koala.

[Music]

You'd better hide out a while longer.

We're going to try and parlay with your

father. Why I not go too? Well, it's

just a little too dangerous yet. We'd

better go alone. We'll be back for you.

This time we're going to try the front

door.

Heat. Hey. Hey. Hey.

We got visitors.

It is the white man, an Indian who

friend of koala. Used to be friends, you

mean? They ain't no more. You're kohala

now. Don't forget that. What if talk was

sagena? They ain't going to get the

chance. We come in peace. Welcome. I am

called Beaver. I'm Hawkeye. This is

Ching Cookook of the Moheakans.

The Moheakin's brave men. It's very

important that we talk to your chief.

Sagen's sick. When Chief Sagen hears

words, we'll feel better. Can White

Man's words free our people from being

slave of Hurons. So Sagenar's newfound

son hasn't been much help, huh? What

Hawkeye know of Sagenar's new son. Maybe

even more than the chief himself. Can we

talk to him?

Come.

Who are your friends, Beaver? They come

in peace. That's so what's your

business, mister? It's with a chief. The

old man's sick. Practically retired, you

might say. His son's the new chief. And

koala don't like white men. All except

you, huh, Sarge? What's that you called

me? That's your name, isn't it? Seems

like I recollect Ned Weaver telling me

about an old army friend of his that he

used to scout with. The description fits

you easy. The only army I remember, Mrs.

the rifle.

Now get

you was just leaving, wasn't you? Looks

like the Huron aren't as friendly as the

cre. Let's go, Ching.

[Music]

Crack them. Find out where they camp.

[Music]

Go to Island of Pines on Northshore. We

meet you.

Tell your chief his true son waits for

him.

[Applause]

[Music]

Why have we come to this island? Why we

not go in creek camp? Meet my father.

Bad paleface. Have other Indian take

your place. Act like cheap.

And you can bet they won't let you near

your father.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

me keep watch. See nobody follow.

You spoke to Bieber, my son, Koala. I

believe this to be your true son.

Suddenly, I am a father with many sons.

You wear same birth gift as other son.

How is an old man to know the truth? I

only know what my heart tells me. I feel

that it is true.

[Music]

Coiled snake power to strike those that

try. Step on him.

The sign of my true son, Kohala.

Welcome. One white man bring evil and

sorrow to Sagenor's heart.

This one bring gladness.

Cre forever grateful. I'm just glad you

two found each other again. Do you mind

if I ask you a question? What Hawkeye

wish to know? You couldn't have been

fooled by that other Indian saying that

he was your son when you knew he didn't

have this on his chest. Why did you

accept him? With cre slaves of shurons

and white man Sagenar need time to think

to plan. If he refuse other son nothing

is gained. This way everything gained.

Are they after the secret of the cre

silver mine? It is so. The secret that

is passed only from chief to son. Now

time is come. Follow me, my son.

[Music]

[Music]

Now you know my son

and friends of my son, too.

I trust

You're on.

[Applause]

Beaver, take Chief Sageno into the mine.

You hide in the mine with your father.

Cre Warrior, do not hide. But you're the

one they're looking for. You're the one

they're after. I do not hide.

[Music]

[Applause]

We get about 50 paces and then let them

have it.

Now

use your guns.

[Music]

Hell, that's too less.

All have rifles. It's bad. Surround the

island. Then move in. They can't get

off. No, wait. Let him land. We'll take

care of him later. Right now, let's get

rid of those other Hurons.

Surprise Euron.

Thank you.

[Music]

They're here someplace. We'll route them

out if we have to comb the island inch

by inch.

[Music]

Morgan's on other side of island. Yeah,

let's go.

[Music]

There they are.

[Applause]

Look,

Chief Sagenhol and Beaver, they found

him. Come on.

Okay, get in that canal.

[Music]

Hold it, Sarge. Drop those guns.

Come on. Get the canoes. All right,

let's get moving. You go.

So that you will not forget my people.

[Music]

My people will not forget you. Thanks,

Koala.

[Music]

May the great spirit watch over your

days until you return to your brothers.
