This story has happen

on the territory of Indiana around 1805.

Judge Clift sends them.
Do you want to check what is going on?

Let's go.

They were Indians.
It was all over when we arrived.

This strange letter was nailed
to the table with an arrow.

Judge Clift,

you killed my brother
Walkone-Toga and I forgot and forgave.

Now you killed my men
and it's my turn. Taka-Utah.

Taka-Utah...
- Judge Clift sent commander Barry

to lead the attack against the Indians.

Barry have drunk the hole village,

put the redskins in canoes
and release the canoes in the river.

Then he organized a shooting
competition against the helpless.

When Taka-Utah came from hunting
there was no one left alive.

His wife, his children and
grandchildren - all were dead.

When they choose me for a judge
they knew that I don't approve this kind of crimes.

Father, he only wants to say...
- I am not Clift I am McKew.

We always keep our word.

You can't stop the killing and
the violence against us, the Indians.

The Redman must do it.
He has to do it by himself.

Very strange man is our Tecumseh.

How is that he speaks English freely?
- Eileen has told him.

I want to be an Indian for a while
so to understand how they think.

Do you really can thrust him?
- Definitely.

We have fought for a constitution in which
the color of the skin doesn't matter,

if you mean this.
- In other words,

do you really want to give him Eileen for a wife?

If he stays with us, why not?
- You have to think about it.

Now you are a judge
and you can't afford this.

Don't get me wrong...
- This doesn't matter.

Eileen loves him and he loves her.
This is the only important thing.

Simon is right. This decision
is theirs to make.

It's cute!

Thank you.

Mac! Are you awake?

Certainly. What is it?

Look.
- A raccoon.

I build it a home...

I will give it back to you.
- Really?

Really.

I look forward for the time then
you will stay with us for good.

Then you will be here when I awake
and when I go to bed.

I am amused by couple of things every time

I see your villages, towns and forts -

how many you are and that the
face of each person is deferent.

The whiteskins came here
only two generations ago,

and now they are everywhere.

This is our new belonging - Berzeli's rifle.

We also have guns Berzeli's.
They are much better than Caltof's.

Mainly they are more precise.

Bravo! Wonderful!

I am glad that you arrive
chief Scarlet Falcon.

I came and brought with me Taka-Utah
who will be judged.

Taka-Utah is ready for anything
to get away from here, don't you think?

Can you go next to the gate?
- I am already there.

Hey, Mac, put out the horses!
We go to the commander.

If you deliver Taka-Utah,
the whiteskins will hang him.

You know very well why he
killed judge Clift.

Chief you are wrong, and you
are wrong not for the first time.

We won't hang him of course.

It's good that Scarlet falcon
came to deliver us Taka-Utah.

This will help us to clear things and
restore the peaceful and quite life.

Peace! Quite life! Deliver!

Have you ever thought that
the delivering is only from us to them?

Always to the white never to us!

I always thought that the
white are your friends.

This was not good.

I don't approve what Taka-Utah did

but we must remember that
Clift broke the contract

and order the slaughter of innocent people.
- Sir, people are gathering outside.

They want to hang the Indians
from the trees. What to do, sir?

You will take care that
they don't disturb us. Understand?

Yes, sir!
- Take my batmen with you.

I envy you for your self-control.

No.
- I don't think this will suit you.

It's more suitable for brunette lady.
- This... isn't this good?

Yes, but this won't be enough.
A have more backwards. Come with me.

Did you speak with Eileen?

She rely on that you will stay with us,

that you will no longer leave us.

Take your rifles and come with me.

Eileen!

The Indian delegates are under arrest!

Sir, if you oppose the people's decision...

I summon in front of the court every
white who has been in Scarlet falcon's home

and has not been feed.

Where was Scarlet Falcon when you were killing?

He was in his camp and save the peace.

My brother's was pointing at me and saying
this is Scarlet Falcon, friend of the white,

the traitor.
- A traitor! You admitted it!

Freeze! Nobody moves!

Draw down your weapons!

I was a river stone thorn from a rock.
Water left me at your front door.

I was always happy when we saw each other

and my heart was strong as thousands
of hearts because you show me your love.

You taught me to write in English
and now I know everything for Alexander the Great

and for Prince Hamlet.

I will never forget your kind words.

Tecumseh I will come with you wherever you go.

I have heard stories of a small bird...
- A small bird, which sing,

when people separate each other.

It was born without legs and spends
it entire life in the air.

It is light blue and it wings
are as translucent silk,

but it always yearn for the
ground which don't know,

because if it touches the ground it will die.

So it's yearning becomes true
at the moment of its death.

Where will you go?
- In Wapakoneta, the village of the Shawnees.

Will you stay there forever?

I don't know.

Farewell.

I suppose that you think out everything.

We... that is, I think

that... You can do much
about your people here staying with us.

Sorry, my boy. I'm really sorry.

To stay with you and do something
here is one thing

but to leave and do something
for my people is another thing.

It is more appropriate.

Never forget that I am your friend.

Where and when you need help
I will do my best to help you.

Here, a Berzeli's. My Berzeli's.

So we never meet as enemies.

You wrote to President Madison,
that over two years now

attacks, murders, arsons and
other such things against

our Indian neighbors have
decreased significantly.

You wrote to him that
despite higher rate of interest

they almost paid their
debts to the traders

and that they almost without
exception reject any alcohol.

You are worried about this.

The president read it
with joy and satisfaction.

I also wrote him that there interest in
weapons has increased alarmingly

and that they become more confident
and impudent when they trade with us.

They want cash

increasingly higher prices for their fur.

You make incorrect conclusions,
Governor. You have to trust them.

So you should observe,
how here before our eyes,

a union between Indian tribes
is developing?

There has never been a lasting
union among the Indians.

Why not now? May be there have been also
involved English spies.

In recent months, I was in the
northern territories more than once.

Believe me, they all rebel
against the contracts

against the purchase of land
and against the alcohol...

Shortly against
any friendship with us.

Trade has become impossible
except about arms.

Did you see any English spies?

No, but...
- This was only a presumption.

Sir, maybe you should see the
trade in arms with your own eyes.

This is not a bad idea.

Let's have a drink
before the official part, okay?

You ignore my hospitality,

but if you don't want...

All right.

What will your wives say,
when you return without gifts?

Here, these magnificent pearls

and these magnificent mirrors.

May be woolen blankets.
Don't you want anything?

Let's your white women
decorate with these things.

So the alcohol means death
for the red man?

My lovely necklaces and pearls
should decorate our women?

And of course you do not want anything
else than weapons and ammunitions?

Yes.

Nothing else?
- Nothing else.

Why do you need so many weapons?

I don't know a single white man
who haven't got a rifle.

But how many red men still do not have?

Why we hesitate? We have to fight.

And when we drive out white men from Indiana
all our red brothers will follow us.

Since white men came to our lands
we fight against them

and always win at first,

but then they return and crushes us.

We will chase them till the Big Water.

They do not expect our attack.
- There are too many of them.

We can't beat them.
Great Spirit is with them.

We will watch how whitefaces
occupy our, land make settlements,

take our air and do nothing?

Black Eagle is right.

We have to fight, because the
white men does not leave us any choice.

But the Black Eagle is also wrong.

We mustn't fight now
and above all not alone.

These are the Shawnees.

These are the Miamis.

The Iroquoises.

The Dakotas.

Only ash and smoke will remain from them.

But these are all red tribes
united in a firm and strong union.

Tecumseh, you are right, but many will be
against you and few will follow you,

and even fewer will understand you.

They will understand me. Till then,
I will not rest for a second.

The chiefs have arrived in the town, but they
refuse to surrender their weapons.

Okay, they may enter.
Send reinforcements to the posts.

Go and meet your
friend from the childhood.

Offer him a place at the table next to me.

Your father allows you to sit down.

Till when the governor allows me something...
- Let my red brother

forget those words. They were wrong.

He speaks English!
- And French. Can read and write.

Come.
- I'll stay with my warriors.

Are you ready to hear the words of
my red brothers from me?

I am ready.

You call yourself our fathers,
this is nothing new.

When the French came to our land,
they embraced us and kissed us.

We called us their children, gave us money
and wanted a small piece of land.

Then came the British
and defeated the French.

They wanted more land
and they also called themselves our fathers.

Then the Long Knives fought with you
and lost this war.

Now you say that you are our fathers.
But what fathers are you?

You do not respect borders
and violate the contracts.

This is the reason why you insult me
when you speak about American fathers.

Undoubtedly much of this,
you say is true.

However, there are lesser attacks
from both sides.

We live in peace and quiet with each
others and this fills me with joy.

My red brothers also rejoice
but you do not say how this came to be.

It's simple.
You no longer dare to attack our villages.

I came to tell you the decisions
of the council of the elders.

The rest of the Indian land is
a property of all red men.

You do not try to bargain for land

and you don't try to buy land
from one or another.

The chief who will sell
it to you will die.

I heard your words and...

I accept your requirements.

Because I, General William Harrison,
have not forgotten

that we won the war for independence
against England

with the blood of the red men.

However, allow me a question.

You arm your people like never before.

Who will guarantee that one day
your union will not turn against us,

against the United States?

There is no future without past,
Governor.

The past teaches us that the white man
understands only one language -

the language of violence.

Therefore, we make Union
of all the red men

and thus follow the example
of the United States.

Do you think this is bad, Governor?

Welcome.

We no longer used to,
drink firewater.

It's good that you are not forgotten
where your friends live.

Do you want something to eat?

I feel like yesterday I was here.

But it was years ago.
- It's true.

Meanwhile you become famous.
- And you? He was sitting next to the governor.

Don't worry,
I don't want to become governor.

Do you remember the night when you left?
- Yeah, I remember it very well.

You promised me help,
when and where I want it.

I also remember that.

We need weapons -
rifles, gunpowder and lead.

These are almost 9000 dollars.

With them you could equip an entire army.
- This is our aim.

Exactly.

I could not give you that many right now.
We do not have such quantity.

Maybe later something will be arranged.
A small shipment is possible.

Okay, thank you.

Come for dinner.
- It smells delicious.

I hope you like it.

Begin.
Come, I want to show you something.

You know him?

You look very tired.
- I can't hide anything from you.

You know, I have big worries. We can't
buy weapons at normal prices.

Is that why you came here?
- This was not the only reason.

There are legends about you.
They even say that you founded a capital.

Are the white talking about this?
- Yes. All trappers and traders speak about this.

And that they had never seen,
so many Indians in one place.

Yes, every tribe,
which joined to the union

have sent a delegation of chiefs and warriors
to be trained in the Holy city.

They talk about this and about your union too.

And that you are
united as never before.

Unity...
- Isn't this true?

You know, it seems that we are
hopelessly divided -

the young warriors support the union

but the old shamans and
peacetime chiefs do not.

They fear about their authority.

Simon said to me that they
have tried to kill you twice.

But I have many friends
and probably I am lucky.

If Tecumseh buys so many weapons,
the warehouses will be empty at last.

First I have to speak with Dad.
- But why?

We speak here about almost 9000 dollars.
- But this is wonderful!

Dad still makes the decisions about the trade.

I can't ignore him.
- Oh, do not say that...

It's getting late. We have to go.

The years have changed us much.

More than I thought.

Goodbye.

How could you do this, Simon?

Harrison prohibited the sell
of any weapon to them.

I swore in the constitution.

My Berzeli's.

May I?

They closed the circle around us.
- You are saying that we are surrounded?

Yes, I do. The Indians
are united as never before,

but I have something in mind.

Chief Leather Lip is in
open conflict with Tecumseh.

He is our man.

Tecumseh is Shawnee and down here
is the land of his tribe.

He built up his capital up here,

in the lands of Miamis and Miandotes.

And this is our chance.
- I do not understand you, Governor?

Chief Leather Lip will come here
tomorrow to sell me these lands.

But this is a half state!
- Exactly.

And so we destroy the
whole red movement.

Governor, you have agreed
with the requirements of Tecumseh.

You have given your word.
- I said I would report to the President,

nothing more nothing less.

Tecumseh threatens with death those who
violate the prohibition on the sale of land.

I will offer the chief such a price,
that he will quickly forget about the prohibition.

Excuse me, sir,
but I find your plan not worthy.

Enough, young man!

We could not guarantee the Indians
today's boundaries of their land!

There are new settlers from Europe arriving
every day, who want land.

Land, which today still
belongs to the Indians.

Have you thought that
everyone of these settlers

uses in the worst case
one-tenth of the land

that belongs to an Indian?

Do you say that we have to
tolerate this forever?

We mustn't lie Tecumseh.

Where is your smile?

Do you understand?
- No,

but I know that sometimes money
are found on the street.

Hey, Mac.

Where is Tecumseh?
- He went to hunt with his warriors.

He will be missing at least 3 days.

I can't wait that longer.
You need weapons.

I bring what I could load.

My white sister is very brave.
- Me too.

Let she follows me.

Please.

All this is just laying here!

It seems that your brother
has changed his mind?

No, he is not.

It is difficult to make
so mush money at once!

Are you Eileen?
- Yes. Do you know me?

Tecumseh often talks about you.
- Tecumseh?

Valagua is Tecumseh's wife.

There is no place for a woman next to him.

I am not his wife.
I am the mother of his son.

Life is so wonderful...

Hey, Sam, I like the rifle.
- Leave it. It's too dangerous.

Come on!

Hey, Mac!

Thanks, Sam.
- Come.

Who did this?
- The Indians.

People say that they were Indians.

And they found from Eileen only...

She has disappeared.

Doc.

Hi, Dad.
- He is not hearing you, Simon.

Otherwise... I mean...

So...
He will probably here again one day.

Sam has found a bow and arrows. He says
that they belong to Tecumseh's men.

You want a high price, chief.
- You want too much land, Governor.

Nevertheless the price is high.
According to the contract by Greenville

the land worth 20000 dollars.

Yes. That was 2 dollars for each
red man. This is too little, Governor.

The examples are not always good,
but chief we always agree each other.

I will return when you've got the money.
- Okay! I will pay you the price

but in one condition ...

The payment will be
two-thirds in products.

Well. I agree.

Are you afraid of Tecumseh?
- No, I am not afraid.

He will accuse you and then kill you.
- Tecumseh is a warrior.

Nobody elected him for a chief.
- Many of your men are with him.

They will come back to me,
when I tell them I have gold.

I warn you for the last time Governor.

Do not make contracts with the red
men! You will not see them alive.

I should arrest you.

I know that you want to turn us against
each other, but you achieved the opposite.

The Council condemned Leather Lip,

but many of his sons came to
us to correct their father's wrong.

Governor, do I call the posts
and order to close the gates?

Let me take this decision
for you, Governor.

Nobody will leave this room until
I say what I have to say.

We have not forgotten what happened to
Scarlet Falcon few summers ago.

Therefore 2000 warriors are waiting
our return in front of the city gates.

Go to your President and tell him

that the 13 counsillors must officially

resign all purchases of land.

In return we will bring
all red men the holy oath

never to attack you.

Well. I want to swear too.

Let's be a peace between us.

For the rest, we will wait the result
from my visit with the president.

Let's be. Notify me when you have a reply.

McKew send our guest.

Simon, you know better than anyone
what was between Eileen and me.

But bringing us guns was
her own choice.

Then why you killed her?
- Ask her murderers.

They were Shawnee.
- Simon, they brought you a bow and arrows,

but what does this mean?
- Is it not enough?

Too much, it's too much.
It is convincing.

We were brothers for so long.

We are friends till I
cross the gates of your city.

After that we are enemies
and we can kill each other.

I have a suggestion, sir.
- What suggestion?

You know that Tecumseh will travel
south in the coming weeks

to win the Seminoles for the Union.
- So what?

He have to travel 30 days to Alabama.

In his absence we may get
with the Holy city.

The Holy city! But of course!
Excellent, McKew.

Colonel McKew.
- Thank you, sir.

What is a snake without a head?

Governor, did Newman
say you about his suggestion?

No, why? Does he also want a uniform?
- Hardly, sir.

I prefer my leather clothes.
- So, what is it?

A have a few fireworks in the saddlebags.
I could use them in the Holy city

to do some magic tricks.
Probably they will attack us.

Fireworks? All right.

There are many signs
of upcoming war,

war between England and the Americans.

So what we do?

Better ask what we always did.

Whenever palefaces
were fighting each other,

we have been allies
with some against the others.

And in any war of white men
Indians fought against Indians.

And they died for white men.
- So we should unite

otherwise soon there will be no red men.

Since you arrived, my warriors
are completely uncontrollable,

but will all others follow you?

At the beginning I have three men from my tribe
with me. Now I have hundreds of men.

And thousands others remained in their villages
and are only waiting for my word.

Tomorrow you will meet with the warriors,
who will accompany you to the north.

Give me some good messengers,

who I will send you
only when it is necessary.

I congratulate you chiefs.

Unfortunately, I carry news,
which will not make you happy.

General Harrison is going
to the Holy city.

He wants to attack at dawn.
- Why do you bring us this news?

Why? I am your friend.

And as a trader I am peaceful man.

The Big Water brought us the palefaces
and will never take them away.

No.

Until there is a single paleface
living on our island

there will be no peace.
- Do you want to kill them all?

We must learn to live with them.

The day of vengeance has come, my brethren.
Do not hesitate.

We will win before the dawn.
- Tecumseh ordered us to wait.

Tecumseh told us to withdraw, if we
face big danger and not to fight.

Let us withdraw tonight
and thwart the plans of Harrison.

You do not talk like a warrior.
To surrender the Holy city?

Yeah, you are right. It's better to fight.
- You should not attack!

It's stupid to leave the town and to
attack Harrison somewhere around.

Black Eagle speaks wisely.
Let's wait here.

Harrison wants to fight
and the battle is important for us

but more important is the
union of all the red men.

So not to act? No, brothers,
the Great Spirit will never forgive us.

I hear his voice and he tells us:
"Fight against the Long Knives!

Our warriors will be invincible and
the victories will follow one after another!

Brothers! Our brother did not speak wisely.
Do not listen to his words!

Wake your wise thoughts!

We mustn't fight, brothers.
Do you hear me? We mustn't fight!

Alarm!

To the cannons!

Where are the cannons?

Cannoneers with me!

Fire!

Ready! Fire!

Our warriors fall! What we do?

Does the Great Spirit left us?
The Long Knives are killing our warriors!

What the Great Spirit speaks to you?

Fight, brothers!
The victory is near!

Don't you have anything else to say?
Our ranks thin down! We will lose!

Fight, brothers, fight on!
- Fight, brothers, fight on!

The Great Spirit is with us!

Come.

Ready to attack!

Forward!

Tell Tecumseh not to surrender.

Tecumseh must not surrender.

I congratulate you, General,
for our first victory.

Thank you, McKew.

Take a few people

and burn down this fiendish nest.

Colonel, we are ready.
Can we begin?

You could begin.
- Yes, Colonel!

Sam!
- Colonel.

Did you find anything from Eileen?
- No, Colonel.

Did you...
- We searched everything. Come on! Ignite!

You cut the ropes without asking us
why we want to judge him.

Didn't you know that he is fraud?
- We had to be "invincible."

But what happened?
All my warriors has fallen,

and their graves are in the clouds.
- Tenskwatawa is not a prophet,

he is apathetic fraud!

If you have stood
just a hour more, we would...

Shut up!

Brothers, the Holy city was a fraud.

It had to mislead the red
men that they are stronger than The Long Knives.

They beat us,

because only children could believe
that the white can be beaten!

But Tecumseh knows their cities,
their ships, their armies.

His is also fraud,
no better than the prophet!

So you blame me and convict me!

By tradition you search a victim
to wash away your shame and dishonor!

I ask you. Where did you receive your wounds?
Which of you is innocent?

I left an order -

to avoid any fighting,
before the formation of the Grand Union.

Brethren, why you destroy our Union?

It is true.

Brothers, we were blinded,
we started a battle

and the words of the Black Eagle
were in vain.

I support you, Tecumseh,
with all my men.

I was wrong, brothers,
because my mind was asleep.

If you accept me, chief...
- The Long Knives want a war.

They will receive it. The blood of our brethren
will pour over them like a flood.

Brothers, let think straight-
there is no room for quarrel and betrayal!

Our Union is alive, if we want it!

Logan could not follow you. Logan
does not believe in affairs of the red men.

The Great Spirit is dead.
Now Jesus Christ is my God.

So my place is
with the Long Knives.

Put out all the fires.

We return home. We go to
region of the Great Lakes.

There we will find a new strength
for a new beginning.

Line up! All soldiers follow my commands!
- If I haven't got this bloody gout.

Sir, your baggage is loaded.

Seven, eight ... right!

Speak, General.

Do not take so tragically,

the official announcement of war
from the Americans.

There is no open front here.

Prepare yourself for severe,
very severe guerilla war.

This is not Europe
nor the lovely, warm Egypt.

The Redskins will take care of this.

I want to give you an advice...

We have little food few settlers
and few scouts.

Try to avoid the battles in open field.

As to the Indians, we should...
- I will do everything possible

to win them as allies.

Allies! What a strange idea!

You will not have a great success.

We have to give them clothes and blankets,
infected with plague and they will die.

We could use the Spanish way -

riders and bloodthirsty dogs!
This would be appropriate for them!

Please allow me to oppose you, sir.
- General, do not innovate new methods.

We have proved methods.

Colonel Procter could tell you
much about the redskins.

I am sure about this, sir.

General, you have many successes
in the recent years.

You even beat Napoleon in Egypt

and I think that admiralty sent you here,

just because you were
too successful.

I am deeply impressed,

but there are rumors that you adopted
bad republican habits from the French.

General, do not make innovations here.

It may cost you your life.
- Yes, sir.

Off!

Hello, General!

You are returning in good health.

Did you succeed?
- Tecumseh is waiting for you.

What is your impression?

The Indians are almost overcome
the shock of Tippecanoe.

Again Tecumseh has a strong army.

Here he have written their conditions.

Furthermore, he wants to meet you
privately at the set location.

I agree.

But I am not sure that he will come.

Tecumseh will come, be sure.

You called me, General.
I am ready to hear your words.

Allow my first question.
On behalf of whom you speak, Tecumseh?

On behalf of those born in this land,
on behalf of all red people.

These are big words, my friend.
So big that it is hard for me to believe.

The choice is yours, General.

I think you are not friend of the white men?

How could I? How could
we be friends with the white?

But you came. Listen my words.

I need your help.
America declared us a war on the 19th of June.

I have very few troops and the number of
the volunteers is very limited.

The Americans are 3 times as many.
- And more.

Yes, even more.

So I suggest a Union with
all the Indians,

living in our colony.

You know my answer.
- Yes. You inform me about your terms.

First: A guarantee of equal conditions in battle.

Second: The integrity
of the remaining Indian lands.

And third: A guarantee for
independent Indian state at northwest.

With so betrayals we need guarantees.

We no longer could trust blindly.

What could I answer?
Only this:

While the commander here
is me, General Governor Isaac Brook,

there will be no betrayal.
I promise.

And no Englishman will break
our contract, if you sign it.

For this I pledge your life.

So I have only your word?
- Only my word.

Okay. Once again I will trust
a white man, general.

The Long Knives are coming.

This is the ford. The ford is narrow. Few can
cross the river at one and the same time.

Therefore they will gather on the lawn.

We will hide in the woods and in the swamp.
Our horsemen will stand on the other coast.

Once the Long Knives enter the river
we will attack.

The plan is wonderful,

but what we will do if the Americans
do not provide us with this pleasure?

Black Eagle has take care of this.

None of their scouts
will be able to warn them.

Here these are our Canadian friends.

Hi, Charles.

It's time to present you my wife.
She insisted to come.

But you probably already know her.

You are alive and with my friends.
- Jean found me and took me with him.

My heart has been full with sadness.
Now it is full with joy.

You may think this is not
the appropriate time,

but I am very attached to my scalp.

They are coming!

I am going to the ford!
- We will wait for your signal!

This is our first battle.
Much depends on it.

And the first impression
is always the best.

You are very smart.

Do not think I am a coward,
but I don't like this place.

Bullshit, Barry. You are nervous,
because the scouts did not return yet.

However I'll feel much better
once we cross the river.

I will order to install the cannons.
This will protect us from attacks from behind.

If this calms you down.

Officers give up!
Resistance is meaningless.

You have no chance. Throw your weapons.

The white flag does not apply to me Tecumseh!

Go!

Your Excellency, I hope you are
able to observe the military law.

The winner in this battle
Brigadier General Tecumseh.

You are his prisoner.

This was too mush for you.

What we'll do with the prisoners?
- Later we will change them at the swap.

I want to talk with him.

Talk with whom?
- With Simon.

Why not? But he will not be
in a good mood.

I had to bind him,
because he threatened to escape.

I am sorry.

I thought that the Indians have killed you.

Dad never believed that you are death.

Why you do not return home?

I have a husband, Simon.
- Husband?

Yes, Jean. He found me
and took me in Canada.

I owe him my live.

He is a hunter.
We live about 1300 kilometers from here.

Some of our friends are Indians...
- Indians.

Back to the nature, a?
Rousseau would be delighted from you.

You have changed much, Simon.

You have never been cynical.
- Then please, explain to me

what are you doing with the British troops?
You're an American and we're at war!

Tecumseh has allied with them against us.
This could be important for you...

It is important for me!
Even very important!

Have you forgotten that there
were Indians among your friends?

Your admired them for their
ideals of freedom and democracy!

Or this would harm the career
of Colonel McKew,

the remembrance of his former ideals?

Can I?

They say that you have
great merit in Tippecanoe.

I am ashamed of you.

Why are you here? A war is going on here.

If something happens to you...

Sister...

Why we have become like this?

I shouldn't see him.
- Why not? He is my brother.

Jean, you are a Frenchman, aren't you?
- I am Canadian.

It is a pure coincidence that
my grandfather is a Frenchman.

My grandfather and my father separated
from England and founded the Union.

They have always fought with England.

Now my country fight again with
England, and I support the British.

Jean, is there a "right side" in this war?

He was carrying documents. Give them to Brook.
- Documents?

What strategists are you!

It seems to me that the
colonel has escaped.

Alarm! To horses! Mount!

Hurry! Quickly!

2 months already the Englishmen are
victorious in an area of 1500 km.

Fort Mackintosh fell,
fort Darlbarn too.

The British and Brigadier General
Tecumseh was in your hands!

You deserve to disrank you!
How could you fell into his trap?

You will not get away so easy.

Do whatever you think is right.
- Yes, I will do the right thing.

General, as a prisoner of the British,
I met my sister.

So the Indians of Tecumseh
have not killed her.

I understand that this has been something of a private
war. Revenge for the slain sister.

You will not get away so easily boy.

This is war about vital
space and you will not get away!

War... What war we fight?

General, we kill. We kill
everyone who looks like an Indian.

We need their land, well
but they have to go somewhere!

They have to live somewhere!
- The good Indian is a dead Indian.

It's very simple, my boy.
- General!

The Englishmen have captured Detroit.

Who?
- General Brook

and Brigadier General Tecumseh.

Brook will consider the possibility
to march directly to our town.

From the fort we can easily
cut his way back.

Leave at once!

Prepare the defense of the fort!
I will send you 400 Kentucky riders.

McKew, gather yourself!
Think about the Holy City!

This was a victory for our nation,
you can not just forget it!

You come. Finally you are here!

Dad, please...
- Say nothing. Eat.

You must be hungry.

Eileen has returned. I have always known this.

Eileen! My sister.

It's not good for the man to rest
too long on old triumphs.

Right, but until the provisions
from Fort Malton arrive,

it would not be reasonable
to make the final blow.

Our prey in Detroit was big,
but we need much more.

What are the white, without gunpowder and lead?

You're right, but the red men
quickly learned how to use them.

Because we have to.

It is much more important for us
to learn something else from you.

You cultivate little land but
20 people make a living from it.

The Deer, which will feed once
the family of the red man

needs twenty times more land.

If we not learn that from you,
the red man is lost.

Colonel McKew has arrived in the fort.
He is preparing himself for a battle.

He has very few men right now
but he will receive reinforcements,

of 400 Kentucky riders.

Harrison responded faster
than I expected.

Eileen is in the Fort
and will supply us with information.

Eileen as a scout?
Is this not too dangerous for her?

She does not think so. She has grown up there.

If the Americans strengthen the fort,
it will not be easy to take it.

We are leaving at once.

Well, General, do you inform Tecumseh
about the order from London?

General, you must tell him that London

will never agree
about an Indian state at northwest.

The Admiralty was clear enough.

The equal rights in the battles...
- I forbid you to interfere, Procter!

Tomorrow morning you will follow me.
I will ride in the front lines.

With a forced march, that's all!

They still advise in the headquarters.
O'Brian went to sleep.

Do they have many posts?
- Yes, I made a map.

In addition there are 2 or 3 patrols.
Men will sit up in their houses.

How is the situation with you?
- I set a post at the horses too.

Okay.

Englishmen!

I prefer to forego
of strategic advantage

rather than of the reputation
of the British knighthood, ma'am.

Captain, you are my prisoner!

We have to make him tell us
where you can go out on the roof.

Your Honor, sit on the saw

and tell us which toot cut you.

Advise yourself

but know that you do not do it
under American authority,

but under the scepter of the King of England.

And because it is so nice...
- Watch out!

Go.

Come on! On the roof!

This way!

We act carelessly, General.

Who will pay attention to us up here?

Come on! Let us put down this thing!

Where are my men?
- They hide under their beds!

I will deal with them. Believe me!

You smell something?

This is fire.

Brook!

Brook!

Brook! Brook! Brook!

What happened to our country?

Everything I've ever fought,

the thing for which many men
crossed the ocean is destroyed.

I am too old and sick. My son is
Colonel from the Republicans.

My daughter is with the enemy.
- The enemy! Tecumseh is also with them.

Do you still love him?

You are not obliged to answer me,
but I'm still your father.

No, Dad, my love
belongs to Jean-Raphael.

Tecumseh...

My place is with my husband,

and with Tecumseh and his friends.

Jesus, Simon!

Daddy, hold on for a minute.

Betty says that almost all
houses in the Fort are burning.

My boy! Simon, do you want
to sacrifice all your men?

I will not give them our weapons.

No!
- Stay in the house.

Here nothing will happen to you.

Simon!

Simon!

I told you not to leave the house!

Simon, I forbid you!

Sister...

why we were wrong?

Our victory is worse than 10 losses.
- I know what your words mean.

My brother Gen. Brook is dead.

For our cause this is worse
than 10 lost battles.

The general said:
"Come to fight."

Procter will say:
"Go to fight."

Yes, I know.

Here we have a custom...

Somebody have brought it from Europe...

The last cup is about Simon.
Cheers to him once again.

Is this the place that you talking about?
- Yes.

It's good.

We will make Procter to
wait here with us Gen. Harrison.

You mean this, right?

Something else bothers me, my brothers.
Procter is not our brother Gen. Brook.

Weeks have past before he said us

about the lost battle of the British fleet
near Lake Erie.

So I sent our scouts
to bring news.

The Englishmen are losing on all fronts.

I do not speak as a coward

but our brothers mustn't die
for the red liveries.

I think we should leave them.

Tecumseh is right.
Let's leave the Englishmen.

We have a contract with them.
- We have a union.

Council of the Elders approves it.
- The Treaties are sacred.

We have union with Weatherford.

He is waiting us for too long.
It's a long way before us.

This is true and Weatherford
is our brother.

See the scars Tecumseh. They're tell
about the battles a fought with you.

We came to you to fight
with the Long Knives.

We are warriors! We cannot leave!

That's why you have to stay.

Let's be your decision brothers.

They inform me that
you want to fight here.

Maybe Harrison
does not want to come here.

He wants.

Well, okay, I think about it.
- I want your answer here and now.

Yes, I admit that the terrain
is indeed appropriate.

Yes or no?

You do not order here, General.

You have to get use with this.

Moreover, the contract with you
should be revised.

The Admiralty also thinks that way.

General Brook, who frequently
exceeded his authority...

You will answer for this, General.

Procter, the Iroquoises have scalped
prisoners in your presence,

after you gave them alcohol.
Why you allow this?

I asked why you allow this?
- Why to interfere?

Your Indians do not obey orders.

They are uncontrollable.
- Uncontrollable?

You're simply unable to command.

Go home and dress in female clothes!

Fire! Fire!

Fire! Fire!

Back! Stand back!

I suppose it begins.

Fire! Fire!

We have significant losses, General.
- I'm not blind, Barry.

The reserves in the center, the others come with me.
- Yes, sir.

All reserve and officers to me!

Sounded retreat!
- Do we withdraw? But why?

This means death for the Indians.

We retreat to Fort Malton.
Batman!

Prepare the cannons for retreat!

Procter is retreating!
The cowardly dog is running!

Procter is betraying us.

He abandons us.

Jean.
- Yes.

As a general I'm your superior, aren't I?
- Yes, general!

I have not given you a single order till now.

Yes it's true.
- Now listen to me carefully.

Take Eileen and you two get out of here.

Kish-Kalva will come with you.

Tecumseh you can't do this to us.

I can't do this. We have sworn...

Give this to Valagua. It's for my son.

Tecumseh falls on the 5th of October 1813.

William Henri Harrison became
president of USA

in 1840.
