captain sergeant major reuters said we

were to put this dispatch in your hands

before the appropriation for the armies

that's what's in that dispatch general

save your read the major scribbling

very well i see you shall have your men

outfits

maybe we don't look as pretty as your

regulars governor maybe we don't get to

take baths as often

a dress like this in the forest the

indians can't see us even if they can

smell us

a word of course in captain while you're

in albany

be careful of where you're talking to

whom you talk we've received information

that a man named

raul de morrow is working for the french

in this territory we try to find him but

since we don't know what he looks like

it seems to be an almost hopeless task

and remember this our entire campaign

can collapse if the rangers are stopped

in the north before the army can march

we understand sir be watching for this

rod immoral

very well you have quarters gentlemen

yes sir

we're stopping at the end we're going to

look in on my sister first

find him you can start looking at the

taverns of albany life is not

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

yeah [ __ ]

i'm coming

patience neighbor

it's patience friend that dance

[Music]

where hell my dear oh

where are they they oh

my leeches you

are in need of them my friend my wife

and children where are they

please mr chesney we must act this

civilized human being

if you kill me then you shall never have

an answer

what have you done with him your concern

for your family is most touching my dear

friend

may i have the pistol

please

there now we can talk as we must

come sit down and let all right

you are taller than i mr chesney but not

this way

this way i am taller stronger

bigger do we understand each other

why that indian rape

to steal your little family indians make

an excellent political foil mr chesney

no one ever suspects them as instruments

of espionage

yeah doesn't that feel better

i gave you a fair warning did i not

your wife and boys are my prisoners and

so you will change your mind about

deserting me

and will do exactly as i say

your face should be bled

my little pets will do a most exquisite

job

no no no

um just as you please

you can't force me into this position

i'll

i'll go to amherst i'll tell him you're

raul de moreau

my dear dear friend have you so little

heart for your wife and wonderful boys

surely you want to see them again

alive

you gotta march them green recruits for

more than a hundred miles to a country

filled with redskins and frenchmen

are you gonna have time to look for best

in the boys

i don't know i just can't let things

rest

come in well

no jet you've got to listen to me

i've been walking the streets for hours

i didn't run out on best

there was something on my mind and i i

couldn't share it with her i had to

think it out

it was more important than leaving her

alone

i'm going to tell you the truth jen

four months ago i had to make a decision

whether to believe a threat that best

boys might be murdered or

or whether to become a spy for the

french they were all right until this

afternoon

then you know what i decided who made

this threat

a man named raul di maro he arrived in

albany four months ago and selected me

for his work

because i was on various committees i

could get information

could have told amherst would you have

if you knew it might mean bess's life

this morning i'd had enough i i went to

tomorrow i told him i was through

you saw what happened this afternoon

where is the anthem i don't know you'll

probably move them out of the territory

you place me in the most difficult

position captain horn

your brother-in-law should be shot as a

spy yet a man's regard for his wife and

children is not something that can be

measured by set standards i didn't come

here to ask favors for him general

if shooting him is right go ahead we're

fighting for the free air we breathe

here maybe he doesn't have the right to

share it

captain's a little upset today i said

what i had to

and what do you think we should do to

you mr chesney

if i had the kind of judgment you're

asking me to have i wouldn't be in this

mess

a fair enough answer captain horn

perhaps it would serve england best

if we shared a little more of our free

air with mr chesney

may i ask how sir you say tomorrow

expect you to bring him information

concerning the number of men i will use

in my campaign against ticonderoga in

quebec

and what route you will use on the march

north and how did he expect you to do

this

by joining one of your regiments sir

which well he accepted my suggestion

i thought i could cut on help from jed i

told tomorrow that

the rangers are always in the forefront

of any moves your armies will make

with them i'd be in the best position to

give him information in advance

well captain uh perhaps we can turn this

to our own writing

if mr chesney should give his

information to the french

you're thinking of information that

wouldn't do them any good maybe even a

little harm

what about this demerol so long as we

know who to watch he can't hurt us

meanwhile leave my sister and the boys

in french hands uh the proper time

captain

anything you can do to affect their

rescue will have my cooperation

thank you sir i'm afraid captain that

your volunteers are going to be

untrained men clogs watchmakers

carpenters

farmers you'll have to make something of

them before you march

with very little time sir but i'll do

the best i can

i put mr chesney in your hands watch him

we can afford no mistakes

we're only lending you our heir of

freedom as captain horn would put it mr

chesney

if you want your share permanently

you'll have to earn it

good night gentlemen good night sir

this one shot may mean your life when

you aim don't bend over

stand up straight and when your sight is

on the target

[Music]

all right get moved

[Music]

one thing you have to know is how to

judge your distance

like that tree there

[Music]

you gotta work fast because the indians

are fast

so you grab your knife like that

see you take a hold of your head

and you cut across

[Music]

i thought you meant everything i could

in the time i had

we're gonna run into some redskins

before we get to major rogers out there

some of you men will get wounded some of

you are gonna die

but it's my job to try to keep you alive

and i'll do my best

you do yours

all right get ready to move right

face what

oh

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

wow

so

[Music]

get that wound cleaned out i've got to

rest first

i said clean it out once you clear your

name for best in the boys you can die if

you want to

not before

everybody stay where you are come on

[Applause]

[Music]

wash

thank you gentlemen whoever you are are

you all right man

just fine what are you doing out here

starving mostly haven't eaten for three

days

here take a swig of this help me forget

your appetite to get back to camp

that didn't make me forget even my name

thanks

always the solid food and what is your

name

fortune mallory you talk pretty good

english

shouldn't i i am english there's nothing

but french and indian women in this

territory

i've told you i'm english doesn't that

suffice no

is your friend always so polite to

strange women we don't usually find

women wandering around these woods

sorry to upset you by not being a moose

but this is the way i was born

rogers maybe it's a good idea and maybe

it isn't

the lord amherst wants to play it his

way in other words chesney still could

be working for the french and reveal our

movements

there could be and the girl

said she escaped from ticonderoga three

days ago

three days without food and 20 other

words who know every inch of the country

looking for

nobody least twice a woman could live

three days like that

you're thinking the french might have

tricked her escape so she could contact

chesney

somebody'd have as much trouble breaking

out of ticonderoga as we've had trying

to get in

we don't ask for this trouble jed how do

we get it

people know what he said follows us

learn anything else well she was a

prisoner there for two years

and from what she said i think my sister

and the boys might be in there

major i was thinking all right i guess

maybe i owe it to you

when amherst and the army reach this

territory you can try to get best out of

the fort but you'll be on your own

i couldn't risk a lot of men for the job

thanks

how about this fortune mallory put her

to work i reckon

get her over to the leroy farm when you

go in the morning wouldn't that be

taking a chance

we can't tote her around with this we

can't shoot her

issue instructions to the roy to keep

her on the guard and

keep her isolated tonight in case she

tries to talk to chesney

right

[Music]

uh

please please i've got to talk to you

haven't you heard i have the plague or

at least your infuriating captain horn

seems to think so

no one's to talk to me captain horn said

that you would escape before ticonderoga

my wife and children may be in there

i've got to know

their name is chesney did you see them

best disney

it's been one buzz about eight others a

little young yes

were they all right when you last saw

them yes they were just fine

you knew my orders he's also entitled to

know about his family

yet it's the truth she's been in the

fort she would know you're the last man

that should be seen talking to her

[Music]

how did you ever get to be a captain by

beating up every man in the regiment

with your fists

by teaching men how to stay alive mostly

maybe you could ask the franchise goes

to the rangers friends

you don't believe i escaped from

ticonderoga

what are you doing when you have any

more talking to dude do it to me

if you were the last man in this camp i

wouldn't say another word

[Music]

so

[Music]

i can't afford to have whoever fired

that shot follow us

what if there are more than one worried

about me or that i won't be able to get

you out of this

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

see you how could you english win a war

without me yeah we couldn't

my fat canadian friend when i hear shots

i become most curious

why are you here uniforms 90 of them for

soccer

i brought you a new worker she's back

there waiting for me to be killed hello

running honor never forgive me if i

didn't bring your gift sometime i think

my wife only lives until you can be with

us again

now tell me more about this female who's

waiting for you to be killed well the

major wants her to work for you so you

can

keep an eye on her

francoise this is fortune maori

mom your friend

he just talks that way he's as good a

provincial as i am

probably just a stiff neck too oh since

you have to be my guest magmoiselle we

will not begin by traveling

you're kissed i don't see soon enough

[Music]

that dark such a welcome his name is

general it used to be major but he's

such a good watchdog got promoted

oh they're magnificent sometimes i

believe she's really what they call a

running cutter

she should not be here with people at

all but playing witchy bunks

she caught him captain jet 15 years ago

when he was nothing but a trap

i had to become a captain to live up to

what she was thinking

[Music]

my wife you wouldn't think he was like

her father

you're quite right i wouldn't whoa i

haven't been away 10 years you know

four months is a long time we live in a

crazy whale mode mosel

i am old enough to be her father but i

am alden

he is young enough to be a husband but

she thinks of him as a father

but it is fine this way between the

three of us we are pretty good family

[Music]

hey mrs francois we have a guest

she is yours nice

[Music]

what's gotten into her five years we are

married but still i do not understand

there sometimes

wait let's go to the house

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

one

[Music]

once you have seen what i'm about to

show you you'll be watched constantly

[Music]

even when we feel that we can trust you

you will not be watching but why i don't

know

the lives of friends swan his friends

depend on it that's why

[Music]

very good

rangers can't ship supplies into the

territory they have to be made here

the friends knew about this place they

could put us out of business fast

i didn't ask to be brought here maybe

that's the point in our favor today

okay open marissa

[Music]

belong to francoise first wife marie

french indians got her

[Music]

[Applause]

he hasn't used the room since getting

married in india

running on her she was north in ottawa

that's why i found her starving in the

woods

took her in brought her up like a white

girl she was old enough they got married

there's enemies you kill each other but

you'll take an enemy into your house if

he's hungry

are all the humans in this wilderness so

strange everything in the forest kills

something else to stay alive itself

animals kill other animals for food

large tree will kill a smaller tree to

have more room for its roots

[Music]

there's death all over the forest men

get used to living with it

women don't such as your sister bess

isn't the only one

something happens to all of them i think

a woman couldn't learn to live

by these deadly ethics of yours the

woman is soft

[Music]

and there's no room for softness

[Music]

you can hate what your life does to a

woman but you need them

when this war is over i'll think about

what i need

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

why he's heading for four times

let him go could be he's making his

first contact with the french

[Music]

we'll just wait and see

[Music]

yes i'm coming i'm coming

patience friends it's patience neighbor

that come

well mark glad to see you looking so

well

general won't come is most desirous of

hearing what you've left

you take it for granted that i have

learned something it's been

six weeks mark what assurance do i have

that my wife and children are safe

we expect your information to crush

amherst to ticonderoga

if your information is as it should be

you will join your lovely wife before

the summer

is over well general montgomery this is

mark chesney

mr chesney the line of march of armhurst

and his armies

what did you find out do you have a map

[Applause]

amherst realizes that the most logical

trail from albany to ticonderoga would

be a long lake george

using boats for transportation he also

realizes that you could defend this area

with comparative ease

exactly if he is to invade canada

mr di moreau knows that amherst has

brought in hundreds of engineers

they're going to build a road 20 miles

east of lake george

a small force will use the lake route

but only to deceive you

the main armies will go over the new

road how big is the force that will use

the lake route

a few hundred men he can't spare more

his entire army post but seven thousand

since we know this we will concentrate

all our defenses

20 miles eastward with perhaps 7 000 we

could stop

amherst's entire advance he could never

get near takandero

mr chesney i'll leave you

may i suggest a bit of rum to celebrate

the occasion none for me

no no

what else have you learned mark nothing

i told you what you wanted to know

the moment we begin building our

defenses along amherst line of advance

the rangers will begin their rage to

throw us off balance

i would presume so this major rogers is

the most disturbing element

the french feel his head would be worth

five thousand english pounds

a handsome windfall for your beloved

family

you expect me to kill rogers it would be

most

convenient take it over mark

to prosperity yours

[Music]

foreign

i've been waiting for you what about

bess and the boys

they're in the fort they're all right

you're on your feet

why don't you go to the major let go me

gender so how did you tell the french

i'll take it ted all right

so i've been in for thai we know

i told moncom exactly what lord amherst

asked me to tell him well now that's

good news we'll know soon enough if it's

the truth

it'll depend on where montcalm starts to

build the defenses

didn't it seem important enough for you

to report to me right away

i wanted to think first i had

i'm a farmer i didn't ask for this war

i didn't ask for anything but to be left

alone fighting and killing is important

to you

you and jet you want to kill you know

how to kill

nothing is important to me but my family

not you not your war and nothing you

think about me

you've been doing your share of the

soldier only because i wanted to prove

to him that it's not difficult or

courageous to be a killer

you think that's all i am don't you

try to understand him a little better

jen watch him

but understand him

never been hated like that before major

i reckon he's right about me

yes he's right but when we're back home

you'll change you're one that will some

won't

you will

mr roger

rogers

[Applause]

it's happened major the frenchies they

built their defenses to the east

false line of march

ambrose is on his way

the army is marching why don't you tell

me before

you might have wanted to go after your

sister in ticonderog

well the french would be mad but they

wouldn't fire on french farmers just

because they were a little drunk

watch might have a bottle on him

better get these people back to camp

did you tell fortune that you love

running utter

what no chad

maybe fortune didn't go to the french

but i don't believe she cares what

anyone thinks about her but you

she cares what you think

i would like to believe she's not guilty

so would you

the scout just came in he says the

french are laying a cable across the

river near ticonderoga keep our gun

boats from coming up to shell the fort

that cable could cause amherst a lot of

trouble when he gets up here

when do i try to get best in the boys

out that french civilian gang laying the

cable might be your answer

here across the river from the fort we

could attack them there

and fortune mallory could help you

fortune maori

how do we know that you're gonna take

that chance no one but here knows that

dungeons and four tie

if she is a french spy jed you won't

have a chance once you get in the fort

they'll shoot you fast it's up to you

whether you want to trust or not it's

your skin

guess i'll have to take that chance when

do you start the attacks

just before the construction crew get

ready to quit for the day

if you succeed in getting into the fort

at least you'll be able to work on the

cover of darkness

want another man with you yeah sergeant

wash
