[ DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING ]

YOUR MAJESTY, NORTH AMERICA ISN'T WORTH THE TROUBLE.

LET MONTCALM INVADE IT.

WITHDRAW OUR FORCES AND CONCENTRATE OUR ARMIES

HERE IN EUROPE, THE MAIN THEATER OF WAR.

NEWCASTLE WANTS TO GIVE THE COUNTRY BACK TO THE INDIAN. HUH!

WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE, MR. PITT?

TO REINFORCE COLONEL MUNRO AT ALBANY, SIRE.

MOVE GENERAL WEBB UP IN SUPPORT

AND DRIVE THE FRENCH OUT OF NORTH AMERICA

AS WE ARE DOING IN INDIA. FOR A WILDERNESS.

FOR THE RAW MATERIAL OF AN EMPIRE, SIRE.

George II: AND WHAT DOES THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH SAY?

I AGREE WITH MR. PITT ENTIRELY, SIRE.

AH, IS THE WAR OFFICE PREPARED?

MAJOR HAYWARD IS READY TO TAKE THE NEXT PACKET

TO THE AMERICAS.

HE WILL CARRY OUR DISPATCHES

AND REMAIN THERE AS SECOND IN COMMAND TO COLONEL MUNRO.

AH. DO YOU THINK YOU'LL FIND ANY DIFFICULTY

IN ADAPTING YOURSELF TO A NEW COUNTRY, MAJOR?

THE BRITISH ARMY HAS ALWAYS ADAPTED A NEW COUNTRY

TO ENGLAND, SIRE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU MAY PROCEED, MR. PITT.

YOU'LL HAVE CARTE BLANCHE.

THANKS, YOUR MAJESTY.

YOUR MAJESTY, PITT'S AS MAD AS A HATTER.

OH, MAD, IS HE? HM.

I WISH HE'D BITE SOME OF MY OTHER MINISTERS.

UH, YOU, DIRECT ME TO COLONEL MUNRO.

WELL, YOU'LL LIKELY FIND HIM

AT THE PATROON'S HOUSE, SIR DANSON.

OH. THANK YOU.

ARE YOU IN THE HABIT OF ADDRESSING OFFICERS

WITH A PIPE IN YOUR MOUTH?

NO. SOMETIMES I CHEW SNUFF.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

WE'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT, SOLDIER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS ]

YOUR PRESENCE, MISS CORA,

CHANGES THIS DUTCH VILLAGE INTO PARADISE.

NO, SIR. YOU'RE SO IMPETUOUS,

YOU FRIGHTEN THE WITS OUT OF ME.

[ LAUGHS ]

[ German accent ] THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

I HAVE SEEN YOUR DAUGHTER CORA

SO GAY, SO CAREFREE, COLONEL.

YES, MEIN HERR.

THE GIRL HAD A SAD EXPERIENCE.

THE YOUNG LAD SHE WAS TO MARRY

LOST AT SEA IN A NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

I THOUGHT THIS TRIP MIGHT HELP HER TO FORGET.

PARDON, MEIN HERR.

THERE'S AN OFFICER TO SEE THE COLONEL.

DUNCAN HAYWARD!

[ Chuckling ] WHY...

WHAT WIND BLOWS YOU TO AMERICA?

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, SIR.

SO, YOU'VE BEDEVILED MARLBOROUGH

INTO GRANTING YOU FURLOUGH, AFTER ALL.

NO, SIR. IMPORTANT DISPATCHES.

OH, ACTION AT LAST.

WELL, I'M IN NEED OF A BRUSH WITH THE FRENCH.

THEY'RE AS STALE AS DITCHWATER HERE.

I SUPPOSE YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SAYS.

YES. YOU'RE LOOKING VERY WELL YOURSELF, SIR.

IS...

[ Chuckling ] OH. OH, I SEE.

ALL RIGHT. GO AND FIND ALICE.

BUT REPORT BACK TO ME IN HALF AN HOUR. THANK YOU, SIR.

LAST TIME I SAW HER, SHE WAS IN THE GARDEN

WITH A VERY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG CAPTAIN.

I ARRIVED IN THE NICK OF TIME, DIDN'T I?

[ LAUGHS ]

LOOKING FOR SOMEONE, MAJOR HAYWARD?

ALICE!

JOVE, I'VE LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS.

YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT, DUNCAN.

CAN YOU BLAME ME?

YOU'VE NO RIGHT TO LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.

AS GALLANT AS EVER.

AND YOU'RE JUST AS CRUEL.

AFTER I'VE BRAVED THE WIDE ATLANTIC

TO BE BY YOUR SIDE...

YES. I SUPPOSE YOU DO DESERVE A REWARD, DON'T YOU?

OH, THAT'S A VERY SMALL KISS

AFTER SUCH A LONG JOURNEY.

YOU KNOW...I HAD HOPED

YOU MIGHT HAVE CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT ME.

I HAVEN'T, DUNCAN. I'M SORRY.

IS THERE NO CHANCE

THAT SOMEDAY IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT?

IT ISN'T FAIR TO ASK YOU TO WAIT.

SEE, A BRITISH OFFICER

NEVER GIVES IN WITHOUT A STRUGGLE.

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE BRITAIN, SIR.

AND, MISS MUNRO, YOU MAY CONSIDER YOURSELF

IN A PERMANENT STATE OF SIEGE.

I SHALL WELCOME IT. [ CHUCKLES ]

COME ON. LET'S FIND CORA.

SHE'LL BE DELIGHTED TO SEE YOU.

OH, YES. HOW IS YOUR SISTER?

OH, EVER SO MUCH HAPPIER HERE.

GENTLEMEN OF THE REGIMENT, ATTENTION.

YOUR COLONEL HAS ORDERS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM SORRY.

ALL OFFICERS MUST REPORT TO THEIR QUARTERS AT ONCE.

WE MARCH TOMORROW. MARCH?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

HOW ARE YOU, COLONEL?

HOW ARE YOU, WINTHROP?

THIS IS MAJOR HAYWARD.

MR. WINTHROP, SIR.

HOW DO YOU DO, MAJOR?

COLONEL, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE A LITTLE SHORTHANDED.

MY MEN SEEM TO THINK THIS IS ALL YOUR FIGHT

AND NONE OF THEIRS.

WINTHROP, MY ORDERS ARE TO ADVANCE MY ENTIRE COMMAND

TO FORT WILLIAM HENRY...

ENGAGE MONTCALM UNTIL REINFORCED BY GENERAL WEBB.

THE WAR OFFICE DIDN'T REALIZE

THAT HALF MY COMMAND WERE COLONIALS.

HOWEVER, WE MARCH TODAY WITH OR WITHOUT YOU.

WHETHER WE GO OR NOT

IS FOR MY MEN TO DECIDE.

HUNTER, SOUND THE ASSEMBLY.

WE'LL TALK TO THEM. YES, SIR.

[ BUGLE PLAYING ] HOWDY, HAWKEYE.

AIN'T SEEN YOU IN A COON'S AGE.

HIYA, HANK. HELLO, ZEKE.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO TOWN?

I'VE BEEN TRAPPING UP ON THE BORDER.

WHAT ARE YOU BOYS TURNED OUT FOR?

THE BRITISH WANT US TO MARCH UP

TO FORT WILLIAM HENRY WITH THEM.

YEAH? WHAT'S THE MATTER?

HAVEN'T YOU ENOUGH TROUBLE HERE AT HOME?

[ DRUMROLL ]

MEN...

COLONEL MUNRO HAS ASKED ME TO SAY A FEW WORDS.

HAVING JUST ARRIVED FROM ENGLAND,

I CAN ASSURE THAT HIS MAJESTY, KING GEORGE,

IS EAGER FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

I FEEL SURE THAT AS LOYAL SUBJECTS OF THE CROWN,

YOU'LL BE GLAD TO RENDER THIS VALUABLE SERVICE TO YOUR KING.

JUST HOW FAR FROM THE SETTLEMENT

WILL THIS CAMPAIGN TAKE US, MAJOR?

TO THE MAIN OUTPOST, FORT WILLIAM HENRY.

WHY, THAT'S A GOOD TWO DAYS' MARCH -- MAYBE MORE!

IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO REMIND YOU

THAT FRANCE IS OUR ENEMY.

YOUR ENEMY, NOT OURS.

SURE, WE AIN'T A-FIGHTING FRANCE.

YOU ARE.

WE AIN'T A-FIGHTING NO ONE...

'CEPT INJUNS.

I AIN'T FIGHTING THEM IF I CAN HELP IT.

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

Duncan: WAIT A MINUTE. THIS ISN'T WAR.

THIS IS MERELY A SKIRMISH.

THEN YOU'D BETTER GET READY TO SKIRMISH

BECAUSE I'VE JUST COME FROM TRAPPING ON LAKE GEORGE,

AND THE HURON WAR PARTIES

ARE CANOEING DOWN FROM THE BORDER.

THAT'S ALL THE MORE REASON, THEN,

FOR YOU COLONIALS TO JOIN US.

YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH YOUR OWN SCALPS, MAJOR,

BUT DON'T START TELLING US WHAT TO DO WITH OURS.

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

HERE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING, INDIAN?

ME MAGUA. SCOUT.

COME SEE BIG WHITE CHIEF MUNRO.

YOU COLONIALS, BY HELPING US TO DEFEAT MONTCALM,

ARE HELPING YOURSELVES TO DEFEAT THE HURONS,

WHO ARE THE ALLIES OF THE FRENCH.

YEAH, AND WHILE THESE MEN

ARE COOPED UP IN FORT WILLIAM HENRY,

LET THE INDIANS BURN THEIR HOMES,

BUTCHER THEIR FAMILIES.

RIGHT DOWN THE RIVER -- SEE MONTCALM.

MONTCALM?

WHY, THAT MEANS THE FRENCH ARE...

MEN, I'VE JUST LEARNED THE FRENCH

ARE ADVANCING ON FORT WILLIAM HENRY.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

IF THEY BREAK THROUGH, THEY AND THE INDIANS

WILL LOOT AND PILLAGE

EVERY SETTLEMENT THIS SIDE OF LAKE GEORGE.

ARE YOU GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN,

OR ARE YOU GONNA HELP US

TO STOP THEM AT FORT WILLIAM HENRY?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

WAIT A MINUTE, BOYS.

I BELIEVE THE MEN WILL ENLIST, SIR --

ON ONE CONDITION.

IF THE HURONS BREAK THROUGH,

LET THEM COME BACK AND PROTECT THEIR HOMES.

HOW 'BOUT IT, BOYS?

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

ALL RIGHT. AGREED.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, MEN?

[ DRUMROLL, MEN CHEERING ]

WHAT DO YOU SAY, HAWKEYE?

I HAD MY SAY.

WELL, YOU'VE LEARNED YOUR FIRST LESSON

ABOUT THE COLONIAL.

HE'LL PLAY THE GAME,

SO LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY TO MAKE RULES FOR HIM.

WE WERE LUCKY TO GET OUT OF THAT, SIR. YES.

YOU NEED A BIT OF LUCK IN THIS COUNTRY, MY BOY.

WHO WAS THAT MAN TALKING BACK TO DUNCAN?

OH, A FELLOW THE INDIANS CALL HAWKEYE.

HE'S A SCOUT.

A VERY GOOD ONE, I UNDERSTAND. WHY?

I THOUGHT WE HANGED TRAITORS.

YEAH. SO DID I.

WELL, THIS IS COUNTRY OF FORESTS,

BUT I DOUBT IF THERE'D BE ENOUGH TREES TO GO AROUND

IF WE STARTED HANGING PEOPLE FOR SPEAKING THEIR MINDS.

RUN ALONG AND PLAY.

WHEN YOU KEEP ONE MAN WAITING, IT'S COQUETRY.

BUT 1,000?

HA. TREASON.

OH, UH, MAGUA.

TAKE THIS TO THE QUARTERMASTER.

HE'LL GIVE YOU SOME TOBACCO.

SULLEN BEGGAR, THAT.

HE'S THE BEST SCOUT I HAVE.

HE'S A MOHAWK.

I HAD TO GIVE HIM A TASTE OF THE CAP ONCE,

BUT IT MADE A MAN OF HIM.

YES. HE PROBABLY DESERVED IT.

MAGUA.

I WONDER WHAT THAT WEASEL'S DOING HERE.

HIM SCOUT FOR YENGEESE.

THE MOHAWKS TAKE HIM IN TRIBE, MAKE HIM BLOOD BROTHER.

MOHAWK? HE WAS BORN A HURON.

I'D BETTER A RIFLE AGAINST A POWDER HORN

HE'S STILL A HURON.

COME ON. WE'D BETTER WARN MUNRO.

[ PANTS ]

IT'S THE PETTICOATS THAT MAKE IT SO FULL.

NOTHING LIKE A WOMAN'S MODESTY TO TAKE UP SPACE.

WELL?

I WANT TO TALK TO THE COLONEL.

THEY TOLD ME HE WAS HERE.

COLONEL MUNRO IS NOT HERE.

IT'S SORT OF IMPORTANT, MA'AM.

YOU DOUBT MY WORD?

NO. OF COURSE NOT. ONLY, I WANTED TO TALK --

I'M SURE THE COLONEL WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED

IN ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SAY.

HE'D BE AN AWFUL FOOL THEN, MA'AM.

I CAME HERE TO BE OF SERVICE TO HIM.

YOU, OF SERVICE?

YOU WANT TO BE OF SERVICE, WHY AREN'T YOU IN UNIFORM?

MAYBE I'VE GOT TOO MUCH SENSE TO WEAR A RED COAT IN THE WOODS.

PERHAPS YOU'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW

THAT THE COLONEL IS MY FATHER.

I'M NOT, MA'AM. NOT A BIT.

YOU SEE, I WANTED TO --

I SAID THE COLONEL IS NOT HERE.

YOU'RE SURE OF THAT?

I'M POSITIVE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THEY COME, TOO?

YES.

YOU THINK IT'S SAFE, SIR?

OH, THEY'RE SEASONED CAMPAIGNERS, MY BOY.

MAGUA KNOW SHORT TRAIL.

NO GOOD FOR ARMY. GOOD FOR SMALL PARTY.

SPLENDID. YOU HEAR THAT, HAYWARD?

IF YOU DON'T MIND, SIR, I'D LIKE TO ACCOMPANY THE YOUNG LADIES.

WELL, THAT'S ONE WAY TO ENJOY A WAR. COME ON.

SHORT TRAIL HERE.

OOP. GOODBYE, DEARS.

GOODBYE.

GOODBYE. GOODBYE.

GIVE MY REGARDS TO THE COMMODORE.

YOU'LL BE THERE HOURS BEFORE WE ARE.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM, MAJOR.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

WE'RE THE VETERANS HERE. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ DRUM CADENCE PLAYS ]

THIS FELLOW MAY BE A VERY EXCELLENT GUIDE,

BUT AS A COOK...NO.

CAREFUL, DUNCAN. YOU MIGHT HURT HIS FEELINGS.

[ CHUCKLES ] I THINK HE'S GOT NO FEELINGS.

NEVER MIND, DUNCAN.

WE'LL BE AT THE FORT TOMORROW.

YES. WE'RE WASTING TIME.

HERE. YOU. GET THESE THINGS PACKED UP.

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

YOU TAKE THEM TRAIL. ME FOLLOW.

WHY?

MAGUA FORGET PUT OUT FIRE.

ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.

THESE INDIANS ARE TERRIFIED OF FOREST FIRES.

THEY CAN BURN UP THE WHOLE COUNTRY

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ SHRIEKS ]

GET DOWN. WATER HORSES.

DON'T BE A FOOL, MAN.

NEVER WATER A MOUNT WHEN HE'S SWEATING.

WHITE CHIEF RIGHT.

WE WAIT.

THAT FELLOW'S TAKING LONG ENOUGH

WATERING THOSE HORSES.

DUNCAN, DO STOP GROUSING.

OH, IT'S ALL NONSENSE.

HEY, YOU! HURRY UP!

DUNCAN!

MY PEOPLE.

OH.

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

WANT PALEFACE SQUAWS.

WHAT?!

GO! LEAVE HIM ALONE!

MAGUA GREAT WARRIOR.

BIG WHITE CHIEF MUNRO WHIP MAGUA LIKE DOG.

AND YOU DESERVED IT.

NOW MAGUA WIPE OUT SCARS.

PALEFACE SQUAWS LIVE. YOU DIE.

[ GRUNTS ]

STOP IT! STOP!

DON'T! DON'T!

LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

AAH!

ALICE! ALICE!

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ WAR CRY ]

MOHICANS!

CORA, GET ME A MUSKET -- QUICK!

[ WAR CRIES ]

DON'T SHOOT. CAN'T YOU SEE THEY'RE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS?

I DON'T TRUST ANY OF THEM.

IF YOUR AIM'S AS BAD AS YOUR JUDGMENT, MAJOR,

I DON'T IMAGINE THERE'S MUCH DANGER OF YOU HITTING THEM.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?

AMONG OTHER THINGS,

TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING BURNED AT THE STAKE,

IF YOU AREN'T TOO GREENED ABOUT IT.

YOU -- TELL THEM TO STOP THAT.

IT'S TOO LATE TO PUT THEM BACK.

THE SCALPS TO THE INDIANS, MAJOR, ARE LIKE YOUR MEDALS

AND GOTTEN BY THE SAME MEANS -- KILLING.

WELL, WE'D BETTER GET BACK TO THE MAIN TRACK

AND JOIN THE COLONY. YOU'LL NEVER GET THROUGH.

YOU'D BETTER COME WITH ME.

I AM QUITE CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THESE LADIES.

SO I NOTICED.

[ SHRIEKING IN DISTANCE ]

WHAT'S THAT? WOLVES?

ON TWO LEGS AND HEADED THIS WAY.

FOLLOW ME.

OUR HORSES -- WHERE ARE THEY?

I HAD THEM KILLED.

KILLED, YOU FOOL? WHAT FOR?

INDIANS CAN HEAR A HORSE FOR MILES IN THE WOODS.

[ SHRIEKING CONTINUES ]

COME ON. GRAB A MUSKET.

GO ON. FOLLOW THE MOHICANS.

[ WAR CRIES ]

WAIT A MINUTE. GIVE ME THAT LACE PIECE.

WHAT? THIS THING.

COME ON.

[ GRUNTS ]

HORSE TRAIL THIS WAY.

[ SIGHS ]

CORA. COME ON. I...

CORA, WHAT'S THE MATTER? I CAN'T.

COME ON. COME ON. ON YOUR FEET.

KEEP MOVING.

REST NOW.

[ PANTING ]

I HATE RUNNING AWAY LIKE THIS.

I'LL WAGER THAT FELLOW'S EXAGGERATED THE DANGER.

WHY SHOULD HE?

HE DOESN'T IMPRESS ME AS A MAN GIVEN TO EXAGGERATION.

MAYBE HURON CANOES IN COVE.

YEAH. MAYBE.

CHIEF'S DAUGHTER REST.

UNCAS WATCH.

I THINK I SHALL.

MAGUA! MAGUA!

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

NO.

HAWKEYE MAKE FALSE TRAIL.

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ TOMAHAWK THUDS ]

I WONDER IF HE CAN BE TRUSTED.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE CAN'T?

AFTER ALL, HE'S LITTLE MORE THAN A WHITE SAVAGE HIMSELF.

OH, DUNCAN.

DON'T BE SUCH A BEAR.

HAWKEYE, CHINGACHGOOK.

COME ON. INTO THE CANOES.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TAKING US?

MAJOR, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO TRUST ME.

I'M TAKING THE LADIES.

BUT IF YOU'D RATHER WAIT FOR THE HURONS,

THAT'S YOUR AFFAIR.

HEAR THAT? COME ON.

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

MOHICANS. HAWKEYE.

[ WAR CRIES ]

TAKE THE LEFT FORK. MEET YOU AT BEAR CAVE.

I'LL LEAD THEM OFF.

[ WAR CRIES ]

[ GUNSHOT ]

HAWKEYE, LOOK!

KEEP ON PADDLING!

WE'LL TURN TO SHORE AROUND THE NEXT BEND!

[ WAR CRIES ]

[ Sighing ] OOH.

THAT WAS A BIT CLOSE.

WE'RE NOT OUT OF IT YET.

THERE'S A CABIN AHEAD WHERE WE CAN GET SHELTER UNTIL SUNDOWN.

[ GASPS ]

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEY'VE HAD THEIR HAIR CUT BY HURON BARBERS.

HOW CAN YOU SPEAK SO UNFEELINGLY?

UNFEELING, MISS MUNRO?

I KNEW THESE FOLKS

AND BLAZED THE TRAIL THAT BROUGHT THEM HERE.

THIS IS HOW MY PARENTS DIED -- VIOLENT SCALPING KNIFE.

OH, IT'S TERRIBLE.

THIS WON'T BE ALL.

WITH THE MEN AT FORT WILLIAM HENRY, NO SETTLER WILL BE SAFE.

WILL YOU ACCEPT MY APOLOGY

FOR WHAT I SAID WHEN I FIRST MET YOU?

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

I DO NOW.

WE'D BETTER GET BACK TO THE CANOE.

IT'S DARK NOW. WHEN ARE WE GOING ON?

JUST AS SOON AS I FINISH PATCHING THE CANOE.

I KEEP THINKING THERE'S AN INDIAN BEHIND EVERY TREE.

MY SCALP FEELS VERY UNCERTAIN.

YOU DON'T SCARE EASY, DO YOU?

I'M WITH YOU,

AND YOU SEEM TO KNOW YOUR WAY ABOUT THE WOODS.

I OUGHT TO.

THE MOHICANS RAISED ME AFTER THE MASSACRE.

NEVER SAW ANOTHER SETTLEMENT TILL I WAS 10.

AND THIS HAS BEEN YOUR LIFE? THIS FOREST?

YES.

AREN'T YOU EVER LONELY?

LONELY? YES.

I MEAN, CURIOUS ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD --

LONDON, FOR INSTANCE.

A MAN COULD SPEND A LIFETIME EXPLORING THIS COUNTRY

AND NEVER WALK THE SAME TRAIL TWICE.

MEN HAVE ONLY TOUCHED IT.

WHY, OUT BEYOND THE OHIO

IS A LAND WHERE NO WHITE MAN'S EVER BEEN.

EVERY TIME I OPEN UP A NEW TRAIL, I...

I LIKE TO THINK THAT OTHERS WILL FOLLOW,

MAYBE SOMEDAY BUILD A BIG CITY AT ITS END.

I WONDER IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE FIRST.

I THINK I CAN.

SOMETHING FRIGHTENED THAT DEER.

MAYBE WE DID.

NO. WE'RE DOWNWIND.

WE'D BETTER GET OUT OF HERE.

FOOL, SEPARATING OUR PARTIES LIKE THIS.

TWO PARTY ALIVE -- GOOD.

ONE PARTY DEAD -- NO GOOD.

WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?

LISTEN TO BEAVER.

DOWNSTREAM. INDIAN SENTRY.

WHEN CANOE COME, BEAVER FLAP TAIL.

HAWKEYE BRING SISTER SOON.

OH, I DO HOPE SO.

HAWKEYE FIND WAY.

LIKE INDIAN.

HAWKEYE SAME AS UNCAS' BROTHER.

AND THE OTHER ONE?

IS HE YOUR FATHER?

CHINGACHGOOK. SAGAMORE.

GREAT CHIEF OF MOHICANS.

AND YOU?

UNCAS. LITTLE CHIEF.

THIS MEAN MOHICAN CHIEF.

MOHICAN.

ARE YOU TAKING US TO YOUR PEOPLE?

ALL MY PEOPLE GONE.

KILLED IN HURON WAR.

ONCE, MANY WARRIOR IN TRIBE.

FOR MANY SUMMER, THIS OUR HUNTING GROUND.

NOW ONLY CHINGACHGOOK AND UNCAS LEFT.

YOU'RE ALL ALONE.

SO AM I.

HMM?

MY WARRIOR DIED AT SEA.

A CHIEF?

IN YOUR WAY OF SPEAKING, YES.

THEN YOUR SON WOULD BE HERE...

A CHIEF.

MAKES A NICE DREAM SOMETIMES.

HERE. YOU EAT.

MOHICAN CHIEF NO WAIT ON SQUAW.

[ TAIL SLAPPING ]

SOMEONE COME.

THANK HEAVEN YOU'RE SAFE.

ALICE, WE WERE SO WORRIED.

CORA, YOU WEREN'T AFRAID?

NO, NOT AT ALL. WE WERE PERFECTLY SAFE.

DUNCAN, I THINK YOU OWE THIS SCOUT AN APOLOGY.

WELL, I APOLOGIZE FOR MISTRUSTING HIM,

BUT I SHAN'T FORGET HIS INSOLENCE.

THERE'S LOTS OF TIME TO SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES, MAJOR.

IN THE MEANTIME, WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF THE LADIES.

AGREED.

I SUGGEST WE GET SOME SLEEP NOW

AND LEAVE AT SUNRISE.

WE LEAVE NOW, OR WE'LL NEVER SEE THE SUNRISE.

COME ON.

[ ROOSTER CROWS ]

ANY SIGN OF MAJOR HAYWARD'S PARTY YET? NOT YET, SIR.

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT, SIR.

ONE OF THE HORSES MAY HAVE GONE LAME.

LOOK.

THERE'S A FLICKER IN THE WOODS.

THOSE ARE THICKET FIRES.

THE FRENCH! SOUND THE ALARM! YES, SIR.

MONTCALM'S GOT US SURROUNDED.

[ GUNSHOT ] CORA AND ALICE -- THEY'LL NEVER GET THROUGH.

[ BUGLE PLAYING ]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

I HOPE YOUR EARTHWORKS ARE BUILT TO LAST, CAPTAIN.

OUR BRITISH FRIENDS ARE NOT TOO HOSPITABLE.

WE MAY BE KNOCKING AT THEIR DOOR FOR MONTHS.

[ GUNSHOT ]

[ GUNSHOTS ]

WAIT!

WE BROUGHT YOU HERE TO SHOOT REDCOATS...

NOT FLOATING LOGS.

LOG FLOAT AGAINST WIND.

[ GUNSHOTS ]

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING, GUNSHOTS ]

[ MEN CHEERING ]

[ SOBBING ]

MY DARLINGS, YOU'RE SAFE AT LAST.

YOU'RE SAFE. COME. ARE YOU HURT, MY DEARS?

OH, MY POOR DEARS! JUST LOOK AT YOU!

TAKE THEM TO THEIR QUARTERS. GET THEM DRY CLOTHES. I'M ALL RIGHT, FATHER.

Munro: I'M VERY GRATEFUL. I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS.

OH, DON'T THANK ME, SIR.

THE CREDIT BELONGS TO THIS SCOUT.

I HADN'T SUSPECTED YOU AS AN ALLY.

I'M NOT.

MY ONLY REASON FOR HELPING THE MAJOR

WAS BECAUSE OF THE LADIES.

AT ANY RATE, ACCEPT MY THANKS.

WILL YOU...

COME TO THE COLONEL'S QUARTERS LATER?

I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU, ALSO.

I'LL TEND TO THAT, MY DEAR.

I'LL REWARD HIM PERSONALLY.

MAJOR, ANY REWARD I GOT COMING FROM YOU

I CAN DO WITHOUT.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

ALICE, NEED YOU BE SO FAMILIAR WITH THAT FELLOW?

DUNCAN.

YOU'RE TALKING LIKE A FOOL.

ON ACTIVE SERVICE,

DISCIPLINE'S AN IMPORTANT THING.

I WAS ONLY THANKING HIM FOR SAVING OUR LIVES.

WELL, NEED YOU BE SO EFFUSIVE ABOUT IT?

AFTER ALL, YOU'RE THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER, YOU KNOW.

WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT, DUNCAN,

I LIKE TO THINK THAT IT'S THE ARMY TALKING...

NOT THE MAN.

HOW MANY YENGEESE IN THE FORT, MAGUA?

2,000.

AND THEIR WAGONS?

15 WAGONS.

THEY'LL BE SHORT OF PROVISIONS SOON.

WE START POUNDING TONIGHT, MONSIEURS.

TONIGHT, SIR.

WE LEAVE AS SOON AS THE MOON SETS.

I WONDER IF WE'LL EVER MEET AGAIN.

SOME TRAILS CROSS MANY TIMES.

SOME TRAILS CROSS ONLY ONCE.

I SHAN'T FORGET YOU, UNCAS.

AS MANY DAWN AS ARE MINE,

SO MANY SHALL MY PRAYER TO THE GREAT SPIRIT

BE FOR THE ONE WITH THE MOON IN HER HAIR.

PALEFACE SQUAW NO GOOD MOHICAN.

FAIR HAIR MAKE HEART OF UNCAS WEAK LIKE WATER.

CAN'T BLAME HIM, SAGAMORE.

HAWKEYE'S HEART WEAK LIKE WATER.

YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT COMING TO SEE ME.

I'M NOT MUCH OF A HAND AT SAYING GOODBYE.

BUT YOU'LL NEVER GET THROUGH.

SAGAMORE AND I WILL HAVE TO TAKE OUR CHANCES.

TELL ME, WHY ARE YOU GOING?

WELL, I...

I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY MIND.

THE COLONIALS MADE A MISTAKE WHEN THEY CAME HERE,

AND THERE'S NOT MUCH REASON FOR ME TO STAY.

SEEMS YOU HAVE A HEALTHY CONTEMPT

FOR EVERYTHING BRITISH.

HAVEN'T YOU?

I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE BRITISH BUSTING INTO CHEERS

WHENEVER THEY SEE ME.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW YOU AS I DO.

CHANCES ARE YOU'LL BE COURT-MARTIALED

IF THEY CATCH YOU TALKING TO ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I CAME TO ASK YOU TO STAY.

YOU KNOW I DON'T BELONG HERE.

THERE'S A FENCE BETWEEN YOUR WORLD AND MINE.

AND YOU HAVE A TRAIL TO FOLLOW.

MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY SAD TRAIL

THAT LEADS BACK TO NO ONE.

THERE'S AN OLD INDIAN SAYING --

"A TRAP AWAITS THE OTTER

WHO FOLLOWS THE SAME TRAIL TWICE."

NO, IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE,

YOU AND ME BEING FRIENDS.

I DON'T CARE WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE OR NOT.

I'M ASKING YOU TO FORGET LOGIC AND REASON.

WON'T YOU PLEASE STAY?

[ CANNON FIRE IN DISTANCE ]

LOOKS LIKE MONTCALM MEANS BUSINESS.

YES.

WE'RE SURROUNDED AND BADLY OUTNUMBERED.

WE NEED EVERY RIFLE.

[ CANNON FIRE IN DISTANCE ]

SOUNDS LIKE THE FRENCH HAVE CHANGED MY MIND.

[ CANNON FIRE INTENSIFIES ]

[ BUGLE PLAYING ]

[ CANNON FIRE CONTINUES ]

FOR THE COLONIES, SHOOT STRAIGHT AND TRUE!

PUT YOUR FAITH IN HEAVEN, AND KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

IT'S A WAR, YOU MEN! DON'T FALL BACK!

[ GUNFIRE ]

[ MAN SCREAMS ]

[ GUNSHOTS ]

[ CANNON FIRE ]

[ GUNSHOTS ]

DOUBLE DUTY LIKE THIS CALLS FOR FULL RATIOS,

NOT HARDTACK AND WATER.

COURAGE, MY BOY.

LET US PRAISE THE LORD THAT HE MAY VOUCHSAFE TO US,

AS TO THE ISRAELITES,

HIS MANNA IN THIS WILDERNESS...

EVEN IF IT IS MADE OF PLASTER.

Man: ATTENTION!

AT EASE.

NO SIGN OF REINFORCEMENTS YET?

NONE, SIR. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

WE'RE ONLY 15 MILES FROM FORT EDWARD.

WEBB'S HAD OVER 10 DAYS TO GET HERE.

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT HIS REINFORCEMENTS FROM ENGLAND

HAVEN'T ARRIVED, SIR.

BUT THE WAR OFFICE ASSURED ME THEY'D BE SENT AT ONCE.

WAR OFFICE.

THEY DON'T KNOW THIS CONFOUNDED WILDERNESS.

WE COULD LOSE AN ARMY BETWEEN HERE AND NEW YORK.

POOR DEVILS.

HUH. A SOLDIER'S CURSE -- TO SUFFER IN SILENCE.

A SOLDIER'S PRIVILEGE, SIR.

PITY WE HAVEN'T MORE MEN TO FIGHT.

OR LESS TO DIE.

BUT, SURELY, SIR, THE FRENCH

COULDN'T HAVE INTERCEPTED ALL OUR RUNNERS.

WELL, WHAT ELSE?

WE'VE HAD NO REPLY FROM GENERAL WEBB.

WELL, AT LEAST I'M GLAD THEY CARRIED VERBAL MESSAGES

AND NOT WRITTEN ONES. PERHAPS ONE DID GET THROUGH, SIR,

BUT THE MESSAGE MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEMED AS URGENT TO GENERAL WEBB

AS A WRITTEN DISPATCH.

YES. HE'S RIGHT THERE, SIR.

HE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T IGNORE A MESSAGE IN YOUR OWN HAND.

IF HE GOT IT.

WELL, AN INDIAN MIGHT GET THROUGH, SIR.

YES. WE CAN TRY AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. LET ONE START AT DARK.

YES, SIR. [ CLICKS HEELS ]

ALL CLEAR, HAYWARD?

ALL CLEAR TO THE OUTER DEFENSES, SIR.

PITY WE COULDN'T HOLD THEM.

WE COULD HAVE COVERED THE LAD BETTER.

GUARD THESE DISPATCHES WITH YOUR LIFE.

WE'RE DEPENDING ON YOU.

GOOD LUCK, LAD.

MM. GET UP ON THE PARAPET.

COVER HIM.

UNCAS, WATCH SHORE OF LAKE.

MANY HURON CANOES IN REEDS.

ALL RIGHT, HAYWARD.

[ TOMAHAWK THUDS ]

GIVE HIM UP!

HAWKEYE! KEEP US COVERED!

ALL RIGHT! GO AHEAD!

GIVE ME YOUR RIFLE. LOAD THIS.

[ WAR CRIES ]

IS HE BADLY HURT?

NO, NO.

GOOD LAD.

TAKE HIM TO THE DRESSING STATION.

EASY, LADS.

CAREFUL NOW.

HE'S MY FRIEND. I...

I'M GRATEFUL.

YOU CAN SAVE YOUR THANKS.

I COULDN'T LET THIS DISPATCH FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

RIGHT AS RAIN. TOMMYHAWK WOUND.

KNOCKED HIM UNCONSCIOUS, BUT DID NO PERMANENT DAMAGE.

WE'LL HAVE HIM AROUND IN NO TIME.

YOU DID YOUR BEST, UNCAS.

CHIEF'S MARK. MY PEOPLE.

YOUR MARK SPEAK?

IT SAYS, "SEMPER VALOR."

THAT MEANS "ALWAYS BRAVE," LIKE YOU.

YOUR WARRIOR.

MY WARRIOR WHO DIED IN THE SEA...

FAR AWAY.

HOW IS HE?

BAD.

GOT SQUAW FEVER.

OTTAWA ARROW.

GO THROUGH UNCAS' BULLET POUCH.

OTTAWA LIKE HURON -- NO GOOD.

HURON KILL PALEFACE.

SLOW DEATH.

HOW MANY IN THEIR TRIBE?

MANY, LIKE LEAVES IN FOREST.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR CAMP.

HMM?

WE CAN GET TO THEM...

THROUGH THE SWAMP.

Magua: OUR BROTHERS, THE OTTAWA,

GO TO ENGLISH VILLAGE, TAKE SCALP.

[ MEN CHEERING ]

[ WAR CRIES ]

HOLD UP!

[ WAR CRIES STOP ]

NOT ALL HURONS GO TO VILLAGE.

SOME STAY HERE.

IF FRENCH TAKE MUNRO'S FORT, WE TAKE PLENTY ENGLISH SCALP.

[ MEN CHEERING ]

[ WAR CRIES, RHYTHMIC POUNDING ON DRUMS ]

[ MEN CHANTING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ GRUNTING ]

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]

WE SAW THEM, HEARD THEM.

MAGUA'S WORKED THEM INTO A FRENZY.

IF THEY AND THE OTTAWAS RAID THE SETTLEMENTS,

IT'LL BE THE BLOODIEST MASSACRE

THE FRONTIER'S EVER KNOWN.

AND THE BLOOD, COLONEL,

WILL NOT BE ENTIRELY ON THEIR HANDS.

BUT, MY GOOD MAN,

I TELL YOU, MONTCALM'S IN COMMAND.

AND I ASSURE YOU HE'S A SOLDIER AND A GENTLEMAN,

NOT A BUTCHER.

AND I ASSURE YOU THAT HE CAN'T STOP THEM.

WE CAN HANDLE THE SITUATION WHEN GENERAL WEBB ARRIVES.

HE NEVER WILL ARRIVE.

AND ANYWAY, MONTCALM

OUTNUMBERS YOU AND WEBB COMBINED.

YOU'RE SHORT OF FOOD, SUPPLIES, MUNITIONS.

WE'LL DEFEND OUR COLORS TO THE END, SIR.

AND THE END WILL BE THE MASSACRE OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN

LEFT UNPROTECTED BECAUSE OF YOUR STUBBORN PRIDE.

YOU FORGET YOURSELF, SIR!

PERHAPS I DO.

BUT I DIDN'T FORGET YOUR PROMISE --

THAT THE COLONIALS WOULD BE RELEASED

IF THE SETTLEMENTS WERE MENACED.

MY PROMISE STILL HOLDS GOOD.

BUT I MUST HAVE MORE DEFINITE PROOF...

THAN YOUR WORD.

HIS WORD WAS GOOD ON THIS FRONTIER

LONG BEFORE YOU CAME HERE, COLONEL.

THERE'S NO USE CONTINUING THE ARGUMENT.

THE SITUATION DEMANDS THE COLONIALS STAY.

IF THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF BRITISH COLONIAL POLICY,

WE'D DO BETTER TO MAKE OUR OWN PEACE WITH THE FRENCH.

THAT'S SEDITION, SIR.

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S THE TRUTH.

I'M UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO YOU,

SO I WON'T HAVE YOU WHIPPED FROM THE FORT AS YOU DESERVE,

BUT GET OUT OF HERE.

MAJOR, I THINK SOMEDAY YOU AND I

ARE GOING HAVE A SERIOUS DISAGREEMENT.

QUITE PROBABLY.

[ CRICKETS CHIRPING ]

ALL RIGHT, BOYS? ALL RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

ALL RIGHT, HAWKEYE.

THE MEN ARE READY TO GO. GOOD.

STRIKE FOR THE EAST SIDE OF THE SWAMP

TILL YOU'VE CLEARED THE FRENCH PICKET LINES.

THE HURONS ARE HOLDING A POWWOW,

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS. NO NOISE.

KEEP CLOSE TO THE MAN AHEAD OF YOU.

YEAH, WE SHOULD HAVE SKINNED OUT OF HERE LONG AGO.

AREN'T YOU FELLAS GOING?

WE AIN'T GOT NO FAMILIES, CAPTAIN.

FIGURED WE'D STAY HERE AND GIVE THE REDCOATS A HAND.

I TOO.

WHEN YOU HAVE NO AMMUNITION, YOU NEED PRAYER. MM.

Hawkeye: WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THE REDCOATS' SENTRIES.

YOU MEAN TO SAY YOU AREN'T COMING? NO.

WELL, HEY, BUT -- DON'T TALK.

HURRY. YOU'VE GOT TO CLEAR THE FRENCH OUTPOST BY DAWN.

GOOD LUCK, CAPTAIN.

WELL, WHAT IS IT?

THERE! STOP THEM!

TURN OUT THE BELL!

[ GUNSHOT, BUGLE PLAYS ]

YOU MEN, GET DOWN TO THE COLONIAL CAMP,

SEE WHAT'S THE MATTER.

PUT THESE MEN IN ARMS.

SENTRIES, GET BACK TO YOUR POSTS.

I WANT TO SEE THE PRISONERS.

I'LL ONLY BE A MOMENT.

CERTAINLY, MISS MUNRO.

HAWKEYE?

SORRY I CAN'T ASK YOU IN.

HAWKEYE...

WHY DID YOU DO IT?

YOU SAW A SETTLER'S CABIN AFTER AN INDIAN RAID.

OH, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.

WHY, IT'S MUTINY. IT'S DESERTION.

MAYBE IT IS, BUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS MURDER.

I DON'T KNOW THE WRONG OR THE RIGHT OF IT.

ALL I KNOW IS, IS THAT THEY HANG TRAITORS,

AND THEY'LL HANG YOU.

KNOWING REDCOATS, I BET THEY DON'T TIE THE KNOT RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE.

WHY DID YOU STAY?

IF THE FORT FALLS, WE MAY HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE INDIANS.

I THOUGHT YOUR FUTURE WAS WITH THE SETTLEMENTS.

I GUESS NOW MY...

MY ONLY DUTY IS HERE.

SO IT WAS ON MY ACCOUNT THAT YOU STAYED.

IT CAN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF YOU KNOW IT NOW.

PERHAPS THERE IS A CHANCE I CAN MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND.

CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT HE DID WAS HEROIC?

HE KNEW THE CONSEQUENCES AND STAYED TO FACE THEM.

OH, YOU'RE NOT HANGING A MAN FOR MUTINY.

YOU'RE HANGING A MAN

FOR DOING WHAT HE FELT WAS HIS DUTY.

OH, FATHER, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW UNJUST IT IS?

I'M SORRY, ALICE.

DUNCAN, CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE?

NO. HE KNEW THE REGULATIONS.

AND HE KNEW THE PENALTY FOR BREAKING THEM.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A MAN

SENDING A WOMAN TO PLEAD FOR HIM.

HE DIDN'T SEND ME.

YOU KNOW HE WOULDN'T ASK YOU FOR ANYTHING.

HE -- HE HATES YOU.

AND SO DO I FOR SAYING SUCH A THING.

I APOLOGIZE.

BUT WHY ARE YOU HERE?

YOU KNOW THE ARMY, ITS REGULATIONS.

I'M HERE BECAUSE I LOVE HIM.

YES.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT.

ALICE, YOU KNOW I'D DO ANYTHING I COULD

TO KEEP YOU FROM BEING HURT...

EVEN TO SAVING THIS TRAITOR.

BUT THE MAN'S BEYOND PARDON.

IT'S THE ARMY. IT'S JUSTICE.

JUSTICE.

JUSTICE.

IF THAT'S YOUR IDEA OF JUSTICE,

THEN THE SOONER THE FRENCH GUNS

BLOW THE ENGLISH ARMY OUT OF AMERICA,

THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR THE COLONIES.

ALICE! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

OH, YES, I DO.

FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, I'M SPEAKING FROM MY HEART,

NOT OUT OF AN ARMY BOOK OF REGULATIONS.

AND IF IT'S SEDITION, WELL, I'M PROUD OF IT.

HAVE YOU ANY IDEA WHERE WE ARE?

ABOUT 5 MILES FROM THE FORT, SIR.

WE'D BETTER HURRY,

OR WE WON'T REACH THE FRENCH OUTPOST BEFORE DAYLIGHT.

[ WAR CRIES ]

YOU'VE DONE WELL, MAGUA.

ORDER A PARLEY, CHEVALIER.

I'M SORRY, FATHER, BUT ALICE WANTS TO BE ALONE.

IT'S INCREDIBLE, LOSING HER HEAD OVER THIS MAN.

I'M RECOMMENDING CLEMENCY FOR THE INDIANS.

BUT THE SCOUT KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.

[ CLICKS HEELS ]

MONTCALM IS ASKING FOR A PARLEY, SIR.

A PARLEY?

BUT WE NEEDN'T GRANT IT, SIR.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT WILL GIVE THE MEN A REST.

AND TILL WEBB ARRIVES, EVERY HOUR COUNTS.

ALL RIGHT.

IF THE FRENCHMAN WANTS TO TALK, WE'LL OBLIGE HIM.

SEND OUT A GUARD OF HONOR.

YES, SIR. [ CLICKS HEELS ]

[ DRUM CADENCE PLAYS ]

COMPANY, HALT!

RIGHT FACE!

LEFT TURN!

PRESENT ARMS!

COLONEL MUNRO,

I HAVE KNOWN YOU AS A GALLANT ANTAGONIST.

I AM HAPPY TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE AS A FRIEND.

AND I TO MAKE YOURS, MONSIEUR LE MARQUIS.

I HAVE LONG REALIZED THAT EVEN OUTNUMBERED AS YOU ARE,

IT WOULD BE MERELY A WASTE OF BREATH

TO INVITE YOUR SURRENDER.

YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT ASSUMPTION, MONSIEUR.

AS A SOLDIER, I KNOW THAT ONE OF YOUR COURAGE

DOES NOT SURRENDER UNTIL HIS CAUSE IS PROVEN HOPELESS.

MONSIEUR LE MARQUIS, I AM A SOLDIER, NOT A DIPLOMAT.

YOU HAVE CALLED THIS PARLEY FOR A BETTER REASON

THAN AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS.

WHAT IS IT?

MY SCOUTS INTERCEPTED A DISPATCH INTENDED FOR YOU.

A DISPATCH, MONSIEUR?

READ IT.

"COLONEL MUNRO, FORT WILLIAM HENRY.

"NO REINFORCEMENTS AVAILABLE.

"TRANSPORTS DELAYED BY STORMS AT SEA.

"IF YOU CANNOT RETREAT,

ADVISE IMMEDIATE SURRENDER OF FORT WILLIAM HENRY."

SIGNED "WEBB."

THIS MAY BE A TRICK, SIR.

NO.

WEBB'S SIGNATURE.

YOU HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE, COLONEL.

YOUR OWN GENERAL ADVISES SURRENDER.

I KNOW THE TEMPER OF OUR MEN, SIR.

I'M SURE THAT RATHER THAN SPEND THE REST OF THE WAR

IN A FRENCH PRISON HULK, THEY'LL FIGHT TO THE END.

YOU'VE HEARD YOUR ANSWER, MONSIEUR LE MARQUIS.

GOOD DAY, SIR. NO, COLONEL.

I BEG YOU NOT TO SIGN THE DEATH WARRANT

OF SO MANY BRAVE MEN.

LISTEN TO MY TERMS.

WHICH ARE?

THE FORT MUST BE DESTROYED.

YOUR MEN MUST LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS

AND RETURN TO ENGLAND.

FURTHER THAN THAT, ASK WHAT YOU WILL.

THE HONORS OF WAR?

THEY ARE GRANTED.

MY COLORS?

TAKE THEM TO ENGLAND.

CARRY THEM TO YOUR KING.

I ACCEPT YOUR TERMS, SIR.

THE FORT IS YOURS.

[ DRUMROLL, BUGLE PLAYING ]

[ DRUMROLL, BUGLE PLAYING ]

YOU SAW THE END TO A CAREER, BOY.

[ CLOCK CHIMING ] NO, SIR.

YOU DID ALL YOU COULD, SIR.

[ CHIMING CONTINUES ]

4:00.

IT WILL BE DAYLIGHT SOON.

TRANSPORTS READY? YES, SIR.

THE MEN WILL BE READY TO MARCH IN A HALF AN HOUR.

THE GIRLS BEEN CALLED YET?

THEY'RE DRESSING NOW, SIR.

SHALL I HAVE ASSEMBLY STARTED?

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ SPEAKING NATIVE LANGUAGE ] [ CONVERSATIONS STOP ]

FRENCH SAY PEACE.

THEY SAY BURY OUR HATCHETS.

PLENTY HURON WARRIOR DEAD.

OUR HATCHETS SHOULD BE RED WITH THE BLOOD OF OUR ENEMY,

BUT THEY ARE BRIGHT.

WE HAVE NO SCALP. WE ARE WITHOUT HONOR.

THERE ARE PLENTY ENGLISH SCALPS.

WE GET THEM.

[ MEN CHEERING ]

[ WAR CRIES ]

[ WAR CRY ]

[ WOMEN SCREAMING ]

GENERAL, THE INDIANS HAVE BROKEN INTO THE FORT.

THEY'RE MASSACRING THE GARRISON.

NO!

HEY, YOU!

Alice: OH, NO! NO, NO, NO!

LET ME GO! CORA!

AAH!

[ BUGLE PLAYING ]

THE YOUNG LADIES...

MAGUA TOOK THEM. MAGUA.

THEY WILL HEAD NORTH TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

YES, YES. GO. SAVE THEM!

COLONEL MUNRO...

I'VE COME TO BEG YOUR FORGIVENESS.

FORGIVENESS?

FOR A VICTORY, GENERAL?

I'D RATHER HAVE DEFEAT THAN A VICTORY SUCH AS THIS.

AS A SOLDIER, I'VE KNOWN BOTH,

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER KNOWN DISGRACE.

THE DISGRACE WAS NOT YOURS, GENERAL.

NO ONE COULD STAY THE SAVAGERY OF THE HURON.

I'M PROUD.

MY LAST BATTLE WAS LOST TO YOU, GENERAL.

THERE IS NO STIGMA IN BEING VANQUISHED BY SUCH AN ADVERSARY.

I'M MORE GRATEFUL FOR THOSE WORDS

THAN I SHALL BE FOR HIS MAJESTY'S DECORATIONS.

WE'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS, SIR,

BUT CAN FIND NO TRACE OF THEM.

BUT WE SHALL CONTINUE THE SEARCH, COLONEL.

EVERY BRITISH OFFICER

SHALL BE GIVEN HIS PAROLE TO LOOK FOR THEM.

IT'S MY TURN TO BE GRATEFUL, GENERAL.

MY MEN RECOVERED YOUR SWORD FROM THE HURONS.

I BEG TO RETURN IT TO YOU.

THANK YOU, GENERAL.

I SHAN'T NEED IT...

AGAIN.

WHAT YOU STALKING, ROBIN REDBREAST?

WORMS?

WELL, NOW THAT YOU'VE TRACKED ME DOWN,

I WISH YOU'D GET ON WITH THE SHOOTING

AND SPARE ME YOUR WIT, SUCH AS IT IS.

TRACKED YOU DOWN? SHOOT YOU?

[ CHUCKLES ] NO, MAJOR.

WHEN I GO HUNTING, IT'S AFTER MOUNTAIN GOATS, NOT SHEEP.

I GUESS WE'RE ON THE SAME MISSION.

I'M LOOKING FOR THE YOUNG LADIES.

WELL, YOU WERE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

BETTER COME ALONG WITH US.

YENGEESE WARRIOR LIKE WHITE SQUAW IN FOREST --

NO GOOD.

IT'S HIS RIGHT TO COME.

I'LL JOIN YOU, BUT I WANT YOU

TO UNDERSTAND THAT I STILL CONSIDER YOU A MUTINEER.

AND IF EVER WE'RE UNDER BRITISH JURISDICTION AGAIN,

I SHALL ENJOY PRESSING CHARGES AGAINST YOU.

WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, MAJOR.

THEY TOOK TO THE STREAM TO KEEP US

FROM KNOWING WHETHER THEY WENT UP OR DOWN.

UNCAS, TRY UPSTREAM WITH THE MAJOR.

WE'LL GO DOWN. [ GRUNTS ]

WE'VE COME OVER A MILE.

THEY MUST HAVE GONE THE OTHER WAY.

LOOK.

STONE TURNED.

Duncan: CORA'S RING. GOOD GIRL.

LET'S GO AND GET THE OTHERS. NO. WAIT.

NO TIME.

LEAVE MARK FOR THEM.

LET MAGUA TELL COUNCIL WHAT HE WISHES.

THIS ONE MAGUA TAKE FOR SQUAW.

WHAT OF THIS ONE?

THIS ONE LIKE WARRIOR.

SHE DIE IN FIRE.

WE'LL DIE TOGETHER.

THIS MY SQUAW.

MY SON, SHE IS UNWILLING.

I TOOK THESE WOMEN. IT IS FOR ME TO SAY.

MANITOU HAS GIVEN US A LAW.

IT IS FOR LAW TO SAY.

WHAT KIND OF A LAW COULD YOU HAVE?

WHITE SQUAW, LISTEN.

HUNTED DEER IN THESE FORESTS

IT IS SQUAW'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MAGUA AND FIRE.

NOW YOU MAGUA'S SQUAW.

NO, HAWKEYE.

WE ASK YOU TO RECEIVE THEM IN YOUR MERCY AND WISDOM --

THIS GIRL WHO'S DIED ON AN ALIEN SHORE

AND THIS BOY WHO'S PERISHED TO SAVE HER.

AMEN.

STRAIGHT...

AND UNSEEING,

LIKE ARROW SHOT INTO SUN.

LET HIM SIT AT COUNCIL FIRE OF MY TRIBE,

FOR HE IS UNCAS...

I, CHINGACHGOOK...

[ CROWD CHANTING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ WOMAN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY ]

GO TO THE TRAIL, SAGAMORE, AND KEEP WATCH.

UNCAS SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR US.

I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF

FOR LETTING HIM GO AFTER CORA ALONE.

WE'VE STILL GOT ALICE TO THINK ABOUT.

OH, I'M AFRAID IT'S HOPELESS.

THEY'VE GOT HER UNDER HEAVY GUARD.

WE STILL HAVE ONE CHANCE.

WHAT'S THAT?

IF THE HURONS HAD A PRISONER

THEY PRIZED MORE HIGHLY THAN ALICE.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO.

THEY WOULDN'T TAKE YOU.

WHY NOT? I'M A BRITISH OFFICER.

THEY'VE HAD THEM BY THE BUSHEL.

THERE'S ONLY ONE HAWKEYE, I SUPPOSE?

WELL, THEY'VE WAITED A LONG TIME

FOR A CHANCE TO BURN ME.

SUPPOSING THEY TOOK YOU AND WOULDN'T RELEASE HER?

THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT. EVEN THEY HAVE A CODE OF HONOR.

THEY'D SHOOT YOU ON SIGHT.

YOU WOULDN'T GET A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.

THE WAMPUM IS THE RED MAN'S FLAG OF TRUCE.

THEY'LL RESPECT IT.

DO YOU KNOW THESE HURONS WELL?

NEVER SPOKEN TO ANY, EXCEPT MAGUA.

WE WEREN'T EXACTLY ON SPEAKING TERMS.

DO ANY OF THEM KNOW YOU?

ONLY AT SHOOTING RANGE.

SO, THE BRITISH ARMY'S GOING TO BE CHEATED

OF THE PLEASURE OF HANGING YOU, EH?

I'M AFRAID THEY WILL. [ GUN THUDS ]

SORRY, YANKEE. HAD TO BE DONE.

THE LONG GUN BRINGS DEATH.

I COME TO ASK FOR A LIFE.

YOU SPEAK WITH TWISTED TONGUE.

YOU HAVE A PALEFACE WOMAN PRISONER HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH HER?

SHE DIE IN FIRE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

HURON CHIEF...

THERE IS NO HONOR IF A WOMAN DIES IN YOUR FIRE.

[ CROWD MURMURS ]

BUT THERE IS HONOR IF A WARRIOR DIES SO...

A WARRIOR AS GREAT AS HAWKEYE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ] HAWKEYE.

WILL HAWKEYE GO TO STAKE IF HURON SET SQUAW FREE?

I WILL.

BUT YOU MUST PROMISE THAT WHEN I'M DEAD,

YOU'LL GUIDE HER TO A PLACE OF SAFETY.

HAWKEYE GREAT WARRIOR.

HIS WORDS ARE GOOD.

HURON PROMISE.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ DOGS BARKING ]

I'M THE PRISONER. SEND THEM BOTH AWAY.

YOU PUT FORWARD THE CHARGES.

GIVE ME THE DETAILS.

THE CHARGES, SIR...

ARE CORRECT.

EACH OF THEM IS A CAPITAL OFFENSE.

EXPLAIN THE CHARGE OF DESERTION, MAJOR HAYWARD.

HE DID INCITE THE MEN TO LEAVE THE FORT.

HOWEVER, I MIGHT POINT OUT THAT IF HE HADN'T DONE SO,

THOSE COLONIALS WOULD NEVER HAVE MET YOUR COMMAND

TO SAVE THEM FROM AN OTTAWA AMBUSH.

YOU YOURSELF MIGHTN'T BE HERE AT ALBANY

TO PASS JUDGMENT ON HIM.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

MAY I ASK, SIR, DO YOU STAND BEFORE THIS COURT

AS HIS ACCUSER OR IN HIS DEFENSE?

NEITHER, SIR.

I'M MERELY TELLING YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH.

THANK YOU.

NOW, REGARDING HIS SEDITIOUS UTTERANCES...

WELL, SIR...

I DON'T REMEMBER THE ACTUAL WORDS.

BUT IT WAS THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT THAT MADE THEM SEDITIOUS,

NOT THE THOUGHT BEHIND THEM.

HE WAS CONCERNED WITH THE LIVES

OF THE UNPROTECTED WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF THE SETTLEMENTS.

I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE THAT THESE ARE SENTIMENTS

IN ACCORD WITH OUR BRITISH IDEALS.

AND BRITISH ACTION.

SINCE YOU'RE SO FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE, MAJOR,

I WELCOME A RECOMMENDATION.

WELL, SIR...

PERSONALLY KNOWING THE VALUE OF THIS MAN AS A SCOUT

AND REALIZING OUR LACK OF THEM,

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT HE BE ENLISTED IN THE BRITISH ARMY

IN THAT CAPACITY.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT, SIR?

WELL, I -- I GUESS, AFTER ALL,

WE'RE FIGHTING FOR THE SAME THING.

I'LL JOIN YOU, GENERAL.
