A panther! Like this, like this big! She holds the party! It was like an elephant!

Oh, that was no panther. Now that was just the biggest lie in all the alligator games.

Don't you call me an old lie, Mr.

Old man, you've been a gunsmith. You've been a shopkeeper back in Pennsylvania all your

born days. You never hunted nothing but customers.

Before that, I'm talking about before that, when I was young like you. I was a sure fire

hunter. And I tell you that I trail that panther right over the alligator games. I remember

that I started on a Tuesday and I trail them right through a Thursday.

You old men sure are some. But you'll make up anything to prove you still got vinegar

in your veins. I don't make nothing of them. I know the woods like the back of my hands.

I can trail, I can hunt, and I can fight as good as any of you dumb yearlings. I tell

you, I climbed the alligators, I crossed the Ohio, and I got that panther right by the

Susquehanny. The where? The Susquehanny. The Susquehanny!

What do you have? Def or something? And what's more, I put a rifle ball through that cat's

eyes and 100 yards. Oh, no. You crossed the Ohio, then the Susquehanny.

Did you hear that? Oh, you crazy loons. What are you laughing at?

You can't cross the Ohio, and then the Susquehanny. It's the other way around. You don't even

know the country you're making our tales about. Now listen, I want some respect, you

hear? I want some respect from you. Well, then don't tell lies, old man. I ain't

a liar, and I ain't an old man, and I'm going to prove both of them points at the... Come

on, P

I'm on you and sorry. Let me down, put me down, will you?

I'll pay me a pension to them. Them rivers, them rusted rivers. I got to

match stuff, that's all. Anybody can make a mistake, Alex.

Maybe, but you know when I make a mistake, it's a beaut. Go and West, and I set the Ohio

before the Susquehanny. It's mud. My brain is turned to mud, you know. Maybe they're

right. Maybe I ain't good for anything anymore. Alex, you're just speaking pure, de-old, unadulterated

hog wars. You know, I bet you can teach me things about the woods I never knew before.

You know, I never should have come here. For 30 years, I hunted in the Alleganies, and

that's the truth. I believe you are. Sure I did. And then I went to Lancaster, and I

set me up in the gunsmithy business. And for 25 years, I made me a good-living, me and

my family. And I taught my son, Jess, all about the gun-making business. And then when

I got close to 70, see, I think about retiring. So I give the business to Jess. But he, he

folds up everything and comes out here. And I come with him. You know what I've done?

You know what I've done, Danny. Well, Alex. I gave my life away. That's what I've done.

And I have become a burden to everybody. Well, now you listen to me. As far as I'm concerned,

you're still a ring-tailed he-man. Well, you're done, too, and I am. You're done, too, and

I am. And I am going to fight to make them people admit that. You know something? You

and me are going to have to go hunting, son. And I'll bet you can learn me things

that sure it is day and night. Well, I sure can. Yes, I can. It'd be a pleasure to teach

you a thing or two. Well, that makes me feel better, you're saying that. Yeah, that makes

me feel real prime.

Daniel's boom was a man. Yes, a big man. With a night like an eagle and a stall as a

mountain was he. Daniel's boom was a man. Yes, a big man. He was brave. He was fearless

and as the man's a mighty old three. From the coon skin cap on the top of old band to the

heel of his raw high chew. The ripenest roar and the spindest man the front he ever knew.

Daniel's boom was a man. Yes, a big man. And he fought for America to make all Americans

free. What a fool to do, what a dream come true to love. See you.

You get up there young man all day long. You're in a hurry when it comes time to go to bed.

Thanks, sure these slow down. We'll get those boxes.

Pa, Mr. Heming, old Alex. Why is he actually silly? Is there any way to talk about your

elders? I mean, why does he tell those stories? Well, you know, I figure when I get to be his age,

I'll have a few yarn to spend. And I don't reckon I'll exactly like it if every word I say gets

doubted. You're different, Pa. Well, wait, he tells it. He makes everything sound bigger

and better in the way he is now. Well, if that's how he remembers it, we were

we to say he was wrong. We weren't there. Still makes it hard to believe.

You know, Israel, something keeps running through my memory. I seem to remember my

Paul tell me about a hunter named Pater Heming. Old Alex? I recall it. He said that Pater,

Pater Heming was something to behold, that he knew more about guns and hunting than

anybody in the whole of the Alleganies. Is that the truth? Well, my Paul never lied.

Why should you hurt? See you in a more. Night, Pa. Night, Israel.

You know, Becky, it's a terrible thing. Sure is. You know, man,

needs a full life. He's a great hunter, runs a business, raises the family, supports his

kids, puts in a full working day every day of his life. And one day he wakes up and he

feels like he's just being tossed to life. Now if you're in the wilderness, it's even harder

at least when a man retires in the city, he can visit friends. It's the old places.

Out here, he's a stranger. Well, he's still a strong old man. He deserves a life of his own.

I think I'll visit the Hemings while you're out checking the beaver tracks.

You know something? I think that's a real good idea.

Ow! I'm sorry, Dan. I hope the Indians don't attack while I'm all wrapped up.

What are you trying to do, Pa? Hurt yourself? Get out of here. I got work to do.

Give me that axe. What do you want it to? Get a smoker like this, the hot sun.

Get to open this kind of thing so you let go. I can still do a day's work.

Can I want that?

I tried, Pa. Be sensible. Be sensible. Be sensible, she says.

Now do you want me here or do you want me in my grave? Because that's where I'll be.

Unless you let me live like a man. Of course we want you with us, Pa. That's just it.

We don't want you to get sick or hurt yourself. We want you with us.

So why don't you let us take care of you, Pa?

But then let me do the things that make me feel I'm alive.

And this is boom. And how is this?

And this is heavy. And this do you have me?

Daniel sent you to me. How about hunting?

How about hunting? About him and me going hunting together, right?

No, no, I just came visiting.

It's not about hunting?

Oh, he doesn't have time to go hunting now.

Fact is he and Kelly and Ben are going out to check the beaver traps.

They're over the tavern now getting ready to go.

What now?

Yes.

Well, they're not going to go without me, I tell you.

So, a cornmeal.

Oh, now about a spot of rum. Now you get mighty cold up there.

Since then, Ed, as you always think of the most important things.

Daniel?

Daniel.

I'm going with you. You promised. I'm going with you.

Be out of your mind. That's all we need.

None of your sass, Mr. All right. What do we start, Daniel?

What do I take with you?

Oh, well, it's listen.

Listen.

Yes.

This is different. You know that.

It's too hard, don't you? We may be out there as long as a week.

Is that all? I got plenty of ginger in me.

Ah, this is a man's work and I'm going to do it, huh?

Come on, Alex. You creek.

You couldn't even keep up with us.

I'll pass you, Mr. and make your run to keep up close.

70 years old and he wants to check the beaver traps.

That's right, in case you've forgotten it.

70 is a fine right age and I'm still growing.

Oh, Alex.

Yes, Mr..

Yes, I'm listening. Not this time.

It's too much for you.

You?

What are you breaking your promise?

Daniel, owner.

Alex, please.

No.

It's all right.

I'll just sit in the sun and I'll grow rusty like an old piece of iron.

And bitch by bitch, I'll die.

I'll give it up, you know.

I'm trying to live a life of my own.

Thank you, Madam.

Just start walking to my grave.

Alex, go get your rifle.

You're coming along with us.

You were slowly fooling me.

He was only fooling me.

I know why, Daniel.

I knew you were so important.

He was slowly kidding, you know.

Well, the time I'll be right with you now.

And also, right now.

My pa's a mighty good man, Mrs. Boone.

All his life is done for me.

Now, I want to take care of him.

You know, make his days sunny and easy.

Hey, I'm going here.

Hey, buddy, Jupiter.

I'm going.

Yes, sir.

He's going to take me with him.

You'll have fresh meat, you'll have beer.

You'll have buck in it.

As big as a horse.

You'll care to make a trip like that.

It's too much for you.

It's talking.

I've been making tips like this before you.

What's more, you'll just be a burden, pa?

You're just getting there away.

They don't need you.

And you don't need me for anything here.

You're not going to go, pa.

I'm not going to let you.

Pa!

Get away!

Get out of my way!

Alex!

Oh, son.

Let's look what you brought me to.

Oh, son.

Let's look what you brought me to.

Just look.

Oh.

Down in the will of garden.

Wherein' me and my love did meet.

There we sat, a cordon.

My love dropped off to sleep.

That's real sweet singin'.

I hope them beavers like it.

And the chinese.

You know, I keep thinkin' of old Alex.

That goin' on back at the wagon.

That sure was somethin'.

Threaten to shoot his own boy.

Well, tomorrow when we run those trap lines.

Cully, you can take the north in.

Then you take the south, I'll take the middle.

All right?

Yes, it's me.

Yeah, me too.

Ronda Vu back here about sundown.

Well, then, if we can stop thinkin' about an old man

and get some sleep and thinkin' beaver.

Heh, heh, heh.

Goodbye.

Come on, fellas.

Then I'll find ourselves a life we can live.

Alex.

What are you sending, what in the blaces are you doin' out here?

I ain't askin' you no questions, mister.

What are you lookin' for?

Hey, can't wait for that. Get away.

You've got your whole blastin' workshop in there.

Stocks, barrels, tools.

You're done right!

I got them.

There ain't nothing of your business,

but I'm finding me a new settlement.

Up this road?

Yes, you bet your life up this road.

Get outta here now.

Now, you're headin' straight into Shawnee Country.

You'll be hauling all that stuff right in her hands.

You ain't lettin' me do anything, are ya?

None of ya.

You ain't lettin' me have no place to go.

Now, then, get outta me fat.

You're goin' home, Alex. That's where you're goin'.

No! No!

Callie should've been back by now.

You know, maybe his traps are full.

Yeah.

Take more time.

Yeah, maybe.

Dannel.

Dannel.

Dannel.

Dannel.

Dannel.

He shot at me.

Oh, my boo, Alex.

He shot me out there.

He done it.

He just shot me.

I was...

You're mighty lucky.

He just creased her.

He's runnin' away.

Got that wagon load of rifle parts,

and he's headin' straight into Shawnee Country.

He's what?

He said he's lookin' for a new life,

and bang, he shot me.

I've been out to four hours, man.

You think you'll be up to travelin'?

Look, I'll...

I'll be alright.

Just give me a little bit.

I reckon this is the end of runnin' trap lines.

We're gonna go after Ole Alex and that wagon

before the Shawnee collect them both.

We'll have to split up.

What for?

Well, there's no tellin' where he's left the trail.

We'll scatter it to one of us, pick it up.

Well, one of us does.

I don't wanna try to convince him his best place is at home.

Listen, you ever try organ with a light in store?

Nope, but this time we're gonna try.

Ben, why don't you hide our gear in that old stump over there?

I'll take care of his wound.

Right.

Let's go and impress this young man's family.

What you doin'?

Let me alone, will ya?

You stop that, are ya?

You stop it, will ya?

Tell her is...

You heathen' you're gonna regret this the rest of your life.

I'm tellin' ya.

Get away from that wagon!

I'm tellin' ya!

Get away from that wagon!

These are yours, old man?

Sure, don't mind ya, Bear Grist fool!

They're my stock, they're my business.

You can put these together?

Of course I can.

I've been doin' it for more than 20 years.

Now, all of that is mine and nobody gets a scrap of it.

You'll have to fight me first.

What?

Are you the chief?

I'm the chief.

I'm the chief.

I'm the chief.

I'm the chief.

I'm the chief.

What?

Are you the chief?

I am great Bear.

How are you?

Almost eight times ten winters have passed for great Bear.

That's nearly 80.

You are much younger.

Well, I ain't as ancient as...

Well, neither truth is good for the soul.

I tell ya, there ain't that much distance between us, Chief.

So, because we are both ancient, we will sit and talk, eh?

All right.

All right.

Yes.

Thank you.

Well, you're young people show respect here, don't they?

It is not true.

Among us, the fathers are honored.

You ain't never been to Boonsboro, eh?

You have come from Fort Boonsboro.

Come.

I left.

And why?

An old man ain't honored there at all, at all.

He is like a dog left to go wandering on the edge of the camp, eh?

That's right.

Exactly.

A dog.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

He's like a bone thrown away, like a horse.

Nobody wants.

That's right.

You know, we think like two peas in a pod.

So you left?

Well, I ran away.

You know, I wanted to find a place that I could be useful in.

You have left children behind, eh?

A son, daughter in law.

They're the stumpheads.

You know, all they wanted me to do was sit around in the sun and warn me bones.

I know.

I know.

Among the pale faces, they do not understand.

There is much wisdom with the old, much to be learned from them.

You have fought in the wars?

Yes.

Yes, Quebec.

I was with Wolf in 58.

I was in King George's Wars in 40.

I too have fought in wars.

English, French, Spanish.

You and me, we have seen much and known much, eh?

Anyguitar too smart as fellas in a village, if you ask me.

Oh, thank you, Kylie.

Thank you.

Old man, among us, white hair is highly honored.

We are leaders and chiefs because we are old.

You may stay with us, old man.

Stay with you.

Live with us.

Here you will be honored.

Here you will get much attention.

You will have precision.

You will work among us and be highly prized.

Work?

You will put the guns together for us.

You will be sacred and valuable as a great chief.

And you will be much respected.

That is so.

Well, why not?

You know, I'd be listened to at least when I...

I mean, I'd be useful in the world again.

And I could say the things that I've learned and people could learn from me.

Then you will stay.

That's a course I'll stay.

A course I'll stay.

I mean, from now on, I will live and work among the showneys.

Brother!

I will put these guns together.

I will work for you and with you.

I will work for you.

I will work for you.

Thank you, son.

All right.

Now, whatever.

Now, first, I swam the such a heavy.

And then I swam the Ohio.

They ain't gonna catch me on that one again.

That one again. No.

And there on the Ohio shore, I run right smack into that huge panther.

The great cat of the forest.

Ah!

That's it.

That's exactly like he saw him.

All right.

He turned.

He saw me.

But in his eyes were like burning stars.

And he crouched.

And I lifted me right full.

It was a brown bastard.

They didn't have the long guns in them days.

And I ain't.

And then that panther charred.

Ah!

Ah!

He came like a bolt of lightning.

He was the biggest cat in the entire world.

And I waited.

And I waited until he was about six feet in front of me.

And then bang!

I told the trigger.

And then I left lightly aside.

And a cat fell like a stone.

That's me side.

I tell you, I had got me the greatest and the biggest cat

in the entire allerganese.

Yes, he went from there.

At least over to there.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

The Earth's spirit has sent us a great hunter.

The feather.

Now, to our brother, we give the hunters feather.

We honor the skill and courage of a great hunter.

Our new brother is now a warrior.

A warrior!

A warrior!

Well, thank you.

Thank you kindly.

You will teach us, huh?

Hmm?

How to hunt the panther your way.

Of course I will.

Yeah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

That's too slow.

Ah!

Ah!

Run!

Sing!

Bergh!

O Wind.

Ha ha!

What are you, Po?

Keep it quiet.

What is it?

What good place is here to in here?

Following you?

Following me?

Why, what for?

For one thing, you almost killed Colley.

That is nonsense.

If I wanted to kill him, I'd have killed him.

In the first place.

No bullet could hurt that stump head.

And in the second place, I aim very careful so as just to crease his head a little.

Yeah.

Here he is, set feasting and celebrating with the shawl me.

What's wrong with feasting and celebrating?

Nothing, except you keep promising to fix those guns.

What if you've been spying on me?

Isn't I don't take the people sticking their nose into my business?

Well, it's not entirely your own business.

I don't see why not.

I've got time to argue. I've got to get you out of here.

Get me out of here.

Get you home.

Oh, what are you talking about?

This is my home.

This is where I am living from now on.

Here they treat me as though I was still alive.

Here they know my worth.

Here they still respect old age.

So this is my home.

What do you mean what you're saying?

You're not just stallin' them or trickin' them.

I'm not trickin' them.

I never meant anything so hard in my life.

See, these are my people.

And like the Bible says, where they go, I will go also.

They honor me.

Is that why they've got a shawl and he's standing guard outside your tent?

What?

He ain't guarding me.

You know, he's more like my servant.

Now, that's right.

If I wanted anything, he's up and away like a jackrabbit to do my bidding.

Now, that is respect, my boy.

Do you really mean to go through with this record, Maron?

You're gonna make those cards.

Why do you think that I left to a Boonsborough?

I wanted to find a life that I could be useful in.

All right.

Now, if the Indians make my life useful, then I am livin' with the Indians and Ferris Fair.

If they give me life, I give them guns.

Do you know what they're gonna do with those guns?

Yes, they're goin' hunting for people.

They're gonna use them to attack Boonsborough.

That is a lie.

Oh, sure.

They honor you.

They'll make you some kind of wizard because you can give them power.

But those guns are a threat to Boonsborough.

They're a threat to your son, your daughter-in-law.

I'm a bad man.

Old man, you call?

What's that?

I hear voices.

Oh! No.

No, that must have been me.

I'm sorry, son.

I think I was just sleep talkin'.

It's a habit I got, you know.

Now, go away and leave me be.

I want to go back to me sleuthing.

What a finished little dream I was at.

Oh.

Listen.

Thanks.

I can prove it.

What those guns are for?

I can walk into this camp tomorrow.

Walk up to the old chief and ask him about a truce and you know what he's gonna say?

No.

No truce.

Do you want me to prove it to you?

No.

I'll make my own proof.

All right.

Tomorrow you ask the chief.

Don't tell me what to do.

I don't need any help from you.

I'll prove it in my own way.

All right.

Tomorrow night I'll come back here.

If you need me during the day, I'll be back the hill behind the camp.

I ain't climbing oiled to fetch you.

I'll tell you what.

There's a little creek just south of the camp.

You hide in the underbrush just next to that.

All right.

Down by the creek in the underbrush.

Alex, I'm sorry.

I know how you feel.

No, you don't.

You don't know nothing.

Here I finally found a proper place for myself.

And you'll come creeping in here, putting a worm in the apple.

Get out of here.

Get out!

Leave me alone.

All right. Tomorrow then.

I'll meet you down to creek in the underbrush.

Leave me, piggy.

Leave me, piggy.

Never.

Couldn't let weather the fallow.

I'll be back.

Good morning. Good morning, my brother.

You have slept well.

Like a rock.

Hey, come to talk to you, great bear.

Oh.

Yes, thank you.

You are troubled, my friend.

Well, maybe. I don't know.

I understand.

I understand.

I have been thinking much about my brother's happiness.

He is alone.

But he is still young and still a man.

What?

Loneliness is poor meat for a man.

So today, I think I will send him a score.

A fine girl to take care of him.

That is what troubled you, eh?

What are you doing?

Me a squaw?

That's just what I need.

So, you will start putting the guns together today.

You see, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Eh?

It's a question about them guns.

We're brothers, right?

And a man, I can talk honest with this brother, can you know?

A man should talk honest with everyone, my friend.

Well, that's my sentiments, too.

I am glad.

Now, what is it about the guns?

Well, now, are you going to, like, use those guns for a attack on Boon's burrow?

Eh, it's, it's the young warriors who want the guns put together.

And for Boon's burrow.

But it is not hard to understand.

Do they not take our food from us?

The deer, the bear?

Do they not take our land from us?

Oh, yes.

Do they not come as strangers and drive us out?

Yes.

Then they are the enemies of your Shawnee brothers, are they not?

Oh, yes.

And they are your enemies, too.

They life with you.

They make you feel as if you are nothing.

They have driven you toward your grave.

Is that not true?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

So, if we use the gun, we can't do it.

So, if we use the guns against them, what difference should that make to you?

None.

No, no, not at all.

Not at all.

Good.

Then we are still brothers.

And today, I shall send you a fine squaw.

Thank you kindly.

Great bear, thank you kindly.

You wish something?

What?

Does the honored one wish something?

I wish to be alone.

I am thinking.

Not a man thinking peace.

You have decided?

What?

You have been thinking.

You have decided.

Now, what can two feathers do?

Nothing, blessed. Nothing.

I've decided to take a bite.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Saudi.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Saudi.

Don´t, clone.

I´mcheck it.

I got the chief son within Spittendist.

A retailer.

Whoa!

Well, you were right about the guns.

They want me to start putting them together right now.

Gotta get you out of here.

Me and my wagon.

We don't need your wagon without you.

They can't do it.

They can't do anything with those guns.

You mean leave me wagon?

Listen, Alex, it'll take a miracle to get you out, let alone that wagon.

Well, then we'll have to make the miracle.

That wagon is my business, my stock and trade.

I can't say... I ain't gonna leave it.

All right.

It's not gonna be easy.

Meanwhile, you better start working on those guns so they won't get suspicious.

Well, maybe?

Sam, anything to the magnum, just so they won't fire.

What do you mean?

What do you mean wrong by merchandise, damages?

Alex, this is no time to consider profit and loss.

My family and yours are in danger.

You looked at it.

If ever I am going to start me a new like-some-my-stiles,

but I need my stock and trade, I am going to get my equipment and my wagon out of here in cash.

All right.

I'll come to your teepee tonight to see what we can work out.

Well, I wouldn't advise that.

You see, the chief is presenting me with a squatter night.

What?

Well, you just, uh, just to find here in the rocks.

And I'll, uh, I'll find you in the room.

You take my orders, and I'll get my wagon out of here all right.

And what are your orders?

Well, I ain't the father of them yet.

When I do, I'll let you know.

Well, it's all the washing I can do for them all.

But all that I've got hit in the mine.

Ernie.

Ernie.

Ernie.

Ernie.

Ernie.

Anil.

Where's Alex?

The man in chief, right up there in his teepee.

Commander in what?

I'm just down here waiting for his orders.

He got a prisoner, huh?

He got him up there.

Oh, we gotta go up there tonight now, that teepee and rescue the old bussard.

Oh, not tonight.

Why not?

Alex's orders.

He's entertaining.

Enter.

His squad.

Orders.

Can you beat that?

We have to wait for orders.

Oh, and I kind of had a wagon.

You had wagons in his life.

That's the one thing you make him feel independent.

Independence for him.

More scops out of boons.

Well, whatever it is, it's happening now.

I'm buying a wagon.

What's the matter?

I'm not gonna call you a black horse.

More scops out of boons.

What ever it is, it's happening now.

Greetings, greetings of this fine, grand morning.

The birds are singing and I'm singing too.

Right.

Now, great better me have spoken together today.

As things are going to begin today.

Good words, brothers.

Yes, now we're gonna put the guns together today.

Good!

Good to be put together.

There'll be a bone and a bone and joint, and a joint.

But first, you see, we have to pitch my wagon up.

Do I get it?

Yes, great, then we have to hold it down to the creek.

Because that's where it'll happen.

That's where the happening will be.

Now, you didn't ask why, but that would be a smart question.

Because we need a great target area.

You see, we need a great long distance to show the power of my rifles.

There, do it here.

What do you mean, maybe hit somebody or go through a teepee and hit a poor little pepus?

Not all. This is a living area. It's not a target area.

Am I not right?

He is right.

Harness up the wagon.

Whatever he's got in mind, he sure is something.

I wish I knew what he had in mind.

I've got an idea that soon we're going to get some orders.

All right.

Halfway. Come on, now.

We're all... I will show you how to put a rifle together.

See, watch carefully. Watch the hands of an old timer.

There's magic still in his old hands.

Now, first we have the rifle stock.

genuine walnut. Now, it ain't polished yet, but she will shine like the sunlight and water when she is polished.

Right? Now, I will show you the rifle barrel. Will you look at it? It's good steel.

That's right.

Now, I hammered and I tempered and I fashioned this myself in Lancaster.

This is a Pennsylvania rifle.

You'll notice the long barrel and the short stock.

Now, that is the finest weapon in the wilderness. All right?

Now, the flintlock.

Yes, sir. People used to call me an artist.

Would you hold that?

They used to call me a master craftsman. And indeed, you know, I do have a great love of mechanical things.

You're right, Dan. He sure is something.

You mean he's more than just an old man?

Yeah.

That it is. Finish. A real jeweler. Do you like it?

Now, give me the powder and the ball.

First, hold that.

Hold that now for one minute. All right?

Here.

Isn't there? Right. And a bit here.

Oh.

Here, hold that. And we'll tap it down. A little ball and patch.

We'll tap it down briefly.

Now, I'll show you.

I'm going to show you something.

I'm going to fire up for you to show how sweet and throughs is at 100 yards.

And indeed, you know, this rifle can hit the eye of a squirrel at 150 yards.

Mm.

But first, I've got to put up a target. Just hold that.

Give me this, please.

This, I am going to put at 100 yards away.

Yes, on a tree there across the river.

What you got in mind?

I don't know. We better be ready.

No.

No, no, no.

You're the...

Oh, you've got company.

Well, it might help.

Let's do as you're told.

Do you get caught?

iers, this is a horrible effort.

I've been up all night making guns.

What guns are I don't see any guns.

Listen, all we can do is what he says.

Follow orders.

Of which there hasn't been one.

Now brothers, watch.

Straighten through.

Yes, sir, an old man is going to show you

how he can still be steady and clear-eyed.

Even a three-score entend.

What?

Oh, he can shoot.

It seems like it's not the only thing he can do.

A rifle like this, my brothers.

It's easy.

It's quick to reload.

And she still fires as good, and she stays accurate.

Yes, sir.

There ain't nothing like the Pennsylvania longer.

It is a finest weapon in the world.

You know that?

And it's as slick as grease.

And it fires just as good.

And a hundred yards.

As easy as it can hit one at six inches.

All right.

Go ahead, fire your knuckleheads.

Over their heads.

Get it out of the way.

Get into the way to move.

Oh, gee.

Space your shots.

Get into the way to move.

Space your shots.

Get into the way to move.

Space your shots.

Crazy if you think we can pull them off here.

Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Get back, my brothers.

Get back, I warn you.

Look at that.

Look, did you ever see anything like that?

Oh!

Right!

It's a battery.

Battery arrives.

What are you doing?

How old is all this?

I didn't even saw this.

I caught him.

Great fare.

That's Chief of the Charnees.

Me, your pa, the old man.

Alex, Q. Hemming.

And I saved me goods.

What goods?

Where?

How?

With this?

And with these?

Ah, you're a great hero, hunters.

Did you ever bring back a catch like this, did you?

And you still think I'm a windbag, do you?

Well, answer me, will you?

Answer me a sword of stumps.

Answer me!

Who the devil cares about answering you?

I got a score in her saddle with that shawnee.

That's a fact, he murdered my cousin.

They burned my cabin.

And raided my house.

I saved my house.

Get back!

Get back!

The first man that puts a hand on him will get a lead more.

Yeah, ain't there anything, have you?

No respect for an old man.

Alex.

Good man.

You should have made orders.

Orders?

I'll give you some orders.

Alex, you sure miss things up.

We've got to get him back to his people and right away.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Why?

Because if we don't get him back, they're going to attack us and we're going to be at war with a shawnee.

War!

What war?

You kidnapped their chief.

You didn't know what you're talking about.

There ain't going to be a war.

There's going to be a truce.

A truce with a shawnee?

Anyway, what do you think I can't see further than the enemy knows?

What do you think we was doing all the time we was riding here?

We was talking.

Yes, it's it.

And me and Great Bear, we agreed.

Agreed to what?

A truce, man.

A truce.

We've both been living a long time and we learned a lot.

And we learned that there's no sense in a war.

So we made a pact.

And we're going to have peace.

What my brother says is true.

There will be no war.

And this one, he's a very brave and wise old man.

My god, I'll fix you.

So good.

All right.

Thank you.

Yes, I can use a little nip, you know.

My brother's thunder, huh?

Yeah!

Yeah!

He's in it!

Come.

Hey, there we are.

Mr. Emming, you're a spot of my best blue flag.

I'm in it.

Very much.

Now you might ask, if we attacked Boonsboro, what did Mr. D'Amour make to me?

Well, it made a lot of difference.

I had to save my town.

Did I not?

So, that night I got this plan working.

And I left my poor squaw snoring away in my wigwaw.

And then I crept out, you know.

And I climbed that wagon, and I started putting them guns together.

I was as silent as a mouse.

Then when I had finished, you see, when I covered the whole thing with a top horn, so that nobody'd be the wiser.

Now that was my master plan.

How about that now?

Of course, that's a delightful story.

But I'd like to now tell you another one.

I'd like to tell you a story about a panther.

You mean, uh, you mean, uh, the biggest panther in all the Alaganese?

And when you kill when you're a young man.

That's right.

You see, there he was.

I was a young man.

I was a young man.

I was a young man.

I was a young man.

I was a young man.

I was a young man.

Right.

You see, there he was.

And the banks of the Ohio.

He'd stop for a drink.

And I...I called to him.

And... he turned to me.

And bam!

I put a rifle ball through his eyes, at 100 yards.

100 yards.

Yes, sir.

That panther knew who'd done him in.

Alex Q. Heming, that is who.

Oh, uh, are we Bellini?

Mm-hmm. Don't wait there.

What we've seen today...

Right.

Who's wrong?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
