NEW YORK

HURONS...

MINGOS...

IROKES...

DELAWARES...

MOICANS...

Thank you, Chingachgook.

Huron Indian.

He has war paintings.

He's a scout for a war group.

What is a Huron war party be doing this far west?

There are no barracks of white men around here.

You don't think they'll be at war with your people, do you?

The Hurons have never gone to war with the Mohicans before.

Why now?

The river!

Come on, you bastards!

Come and get me!

Why did you meddle in my fight?

If I hadn't interfered, I would have massacred this bunch of imbeciles!

We just wanted to take care of any incapacitated people you might leave lying around!

If that's the way it is, I've learned that I take no prisoners or wounded.

Who are you?

The Mohicans call me "Deerslayer".

Yes. I seem to have heard of a white man who lives with these pagans.

I wouldn't call the Mohicans pagans.

When my parents died and nobody wanted me...

it was the Mohicans who took me in and raised me.

Okay. No offense. No offense.

My name is Harry March, I'm a dealer from Albany.

This is Chingachgook, my blood brother.

Right.

Do you have any idea what made them go to war in such inhospitable territory?

I have no idea.

But if they head down the river to Lake Ochigo...

something that seems likely to me, I will need your help.

What's the point? What's in Lake Ochigo?

White women! That's what's there.

White women? You mean there's a barracks there?

It's not really a barracks. It's more like a fort.

Before those Hurons attack you, I have to get those women to Albany.

The Huron scouts will be watching the river.

I know. I intend to intercept them on the ground.

I'm not much of a woodsman. That's where you come in.

I'm going to tell my people that we're going.

Warn them about the Hurons.

We'll start as soon as he gets back.

Chingachgook!

I thought our brother "Deerslayer"...

let the Mohicans starve to death?

A deer won't satisfy our hunger.

There will be more.

Deerslayer is still hunting.

You must do a lot of business in the fort.

Yes, I'll manage.

You could have gotten rid of that bag of gunpowder back there.

It's too soggy to be any good.

It's perfect for negotiating.

How many soldiers are in the fort?

- None. - None?!

No. There's a "one-man army" there, you might say.

What do you mean?

You'll see.

Are you sure you can trust that boy over there?

That boy is a Mohican chief.

I'm not a bad guy, when people get to know me.

All it takes is a long time to get to know me!

Why are we stopping here?

I'm pretty tired after paddling this canoe all these kilometers.

Especially the way you carried your provisions.

You trade in practically in everything, don't you?

Whatever Old Tom Hutter wants, I'll get it for him.

Why would he want bear traps?

There are no bears in these parts.

A trader doesn't bore people as the "whys" of what they want.

Not if you intend to get rich.

What do you think?

It's those Huron scouts we've come across.

They are sending signals to the main to join them.

How far are we from the fort?

About 8 to 10 km.

Well, it's unlikely that any of them got ahead of themselves, but...

I'll do a reconnaissance further ahead to be sure.

Do you have to surprise me like that?

I thought you were an Indian.

I'm sorry, Judith, I just went to get some berries.

The water feels like velvet.

Take off your clothes and take a dip.

Back off! Who are you? What do you want?

They call me "Deerslayer".

I'm looking for the fort.

There's a group of Huron warriors heading this way.

I don't believe you.

The Hurons don't venture that far west of the barracks.

That's what I thought.

But they're here. And they have war paintings.

Put down your weapon.

Turn around.

Now go!

Or I'll kill him.

Don't be an idiot.

If you have any sense in your head, you will...

What's going on?

Harry!

What do you think of this girl, "Deerslayer"?

Isn't it beautiful?

Absolutely.

Remember this. You can look, but you can't touch.

I'll try to remember that.

I bet you never suspected that she and Hetty were sisters.

I've never seen two "pieces" from the same so different. Have you?

I'm surprised!

Obviously, Hetty doesn't have Judith's Judith's beauty and kind nature.

Harry March, how can you say that?!

But this Hetty is a real "machine" in the forests.

Very skilled with that rifle, too. Isn't that right, Hetty?

I assume so.

Hetty is a brave girl. She certainly stood up to me without fear.

Wait until you meet their father, Old Tom.

It is an even rarer bird.

I bet you do!

As I told you, it's best to keep this redskin away from him.

It's likely that Old Tom can kill him.

It's better if you two go ahead.

If Old Tom sees me coming first, with two strangers...

you never know what that crazy old man might do.

It's certainly a strange contraption.

It looks like it was made from a barge.

It was. Tom brought it from Albany...

anchored it and built the fort from it.

What gave you that idea?

I assume he thought that the Indians might pay him a visit one day.

Dad, open the door. Harry's here.

He's not going out. He's grumpy again.

Maybe he's gone somewhere.

No, he's really in there. He's been watching us all this time.

Tom! It's Harry March!

I brought two friends.

At least, one of them is.

This is no way to treat guests.

Get that worm out of here before I shave his skull!

Calm down, Tom! That's Mohican.

Mohicans or Hurons, they're all a bunch of bloodthirsty wolves!

Normally, I would agree with that, but...

this is a friend of "Deerslayer's" here and he's my friend.

"Deerslayer"? Haven't I heard your name before?

It's unlikely.

I've never been so far west before.

I wander around a bit.

He's responsible for a group of traps here on the lake that go up to...

It doesn't matter how far they go.

That's none of your business.

What do you want, anyway?

Well, Harry here thought that you might need some help.

There's a group of Hurons coming down the river.

Well, you know, we had to kill some of their scouts. They'll be out for blood.

- Harry! - Don't worry, darling.

I'm going to get you out of here!

Try to escape here with my Judith and I'll gut you in six different ways...

Old "vulture", if it wasn't for her...

All this noise won't stop those Hurons.

Let them come.

It will save me the trouble of looking for them.

If you see any sign of them, come back here quickly.

And let me know you're coming...

so that no one mistakes you with a Huron.

Look, Hetty, isn't it wonderful!

Harry March, I could hug you to death!

I certainly won't stop you.

That's the latest trend in Albany.

I haven't forgotten you either, Hetty.

Here we have...

A brand new set of pots and pans.

- What do you say? - Thanks, Harry.

Forget about those things. Where are the cannonballs?

They're right here, Tom.

I sent Chingachgook to earth to keep an eye on those Hurons.

Great! Can you download the rest of the material?

While old Tom is in there counting the cannonballs...

to make sure I haven't deceived you...

I want to spend some time with my girl!

Don't worry about about Chingachgook.

A Huron hasn't been born yet who can remove his scalp.

Would you mind showing me the fort?

What for?

I want to know the location in case of an attack.

Besides, I'd like to talk to you.

I'm not very talkative.

If there's anything you want to know, you'd better ask Judith.

Harry, stop or I'll slap you!

She seems to be busy.

If you really loved me, you would have taken me to Albany a long time ago, as you promised.

Now, with those horrible savages on their way, it's too late.

No, it's not.

Deerslayer is going to help me take you and Hetty back to the barracks.

You heard what my father said. He'll never let me go.

- He'll watch me like a hawk. - I wouldn't worry about him.

I have an idea that those Hurons will keep your mind occupied.

- What's down here? - My father's room.

There's another ladder under the trap door...

so that we can get up here from the inside.

That explains what Harry meant by a a "one-man army".

With a cannon like this, a single man can undoubtedly cause damage to his enemy.

No matter the direction they come from.

Maybe when the Hurons come, they'll get scared and leave.

I wouldn't count on it.

Harry thinks we should take you and Judith back to Albany.

I've tried, but I'll never be like Judith.

My father says I have to resign myself to being...

Being what?

Being what I am. Without much intelligence!

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

That's what the Bible says.

But I don't stop at "eyes" and "teeth".

I go much further.

Jeez, Tom, are you going to wait until their scalps are removed...

inside a Huron tent until you hear the voice of reason?

I can look after my Judith.

And Hetty knows how to look after her.

Why take risks?

Even with their cannon, the Hurons can still starve him to death.

Do you think so?

With a lake full of fish...

those Hurons will have beards before we run out of food.

It's okay for you to stay here, if you want to.

But it's not right to risk the girls' lives.

I've noticed your schemes and conspiracies.

You think this is your chance to take Judith to Albany and teach her sinful ways.

That's not true! Harry wants to marry me!

- Don't you want to, Harry? - Of course I do.

But you should know that this is not a good place for Judith!

She deserves a more dignified life, like I can give her in Albany!

I don't hear Hetty complaining!

And what is good enough for her, is good enough for Judith.

Well, you know Hetty. She's...

- Well, she's different. - Harry's right.

It is a sin and a shame to deny me the possibility of a better life.

No! I'll be damned!

The matter is closed.

I'd better go to my lookout post.

I'd better get back before he comes looking for me.

Leave him! I'll pick him up and throw him in the lake.

- This way... - Harry, stop! Put me down!

A girl can really trust in a man like you, there's no doubt about it.

I'm very proud of my strength.

That's what makes me better than other men.

I have to go back.

You're always meddling, aren't you?

There are some things here that I don't like at all.

Like what?

That old Tom, for example.

Don't you think he has a peculiar way of acting?

Yeah, him. He's always been something crazy.

Ever since I met him a few years ago and started doing business with him.

Negotiating with him?

What I mean is that I collect the skins he picks up...

I sell them in Albany and then I'll bring them back...

any provisions he wants in return.

He's a strange fur trapper.

I don't see any sign of fur or even dryers.

Maybe he keeps them in his room.

Maybe, I don't know anything about that.

What else is bothering you?

Those bear traps from Old Tom.

I've never seen bears in this part of the country.

Maybe he's seen it. He knows this region better than you do.

Maybe.

What has he hidden in that trunk of his?

If you want to know that, why don't you ask him?!

Stop bothering me or I'll break you in two!

No, you won't.

Not if you want me to help you to take your beloved...

and Hetty, in addition to the Hurons, to Albany.

Well, he... keeps a lot of gold hidden in that chest, that I know.

I've been trying to get my hands on my part for a long time.

And when I do, I'll let you know what else else he's been hiding in there.

One more thing.

What now?

What is the real reason he built this fort?

What is he so afraid of, anyway?

It's Chingachgook. He's back.

It must be a very large group.

How can you tell that from that?

Well, a warrior in a small group wouldn't be that careless...

to the point of getting rid of an old moccasin. I would have buried it.

So we'd better leave for Albany, before they cut us off.

- Harry, what about my father? - To hell with him! Let's go!

Don't be hasty.

We have to wait for night, so we can pass them.

Besides, we don't know where they are hiding.

You'd better go ashore and find them, while I help the girls get ready.

Okay. And try to make Old Tom realize how dangerous it is to stay here.

Father, unlock this door and let us out of here. Do you hear me?

Why are you leaving those girls locked up in there, you old vulture?

They're safer here than traveling to Albany with you.

Especially Judy.

What are you up to?

I'm going ashore to catch lots of Hurons.

- And you're going to help me. - No, I'm not.

I will not get involved in your bloody work!

You're already involved in it, you greedy conspirator!

And don't you ever forget it! Now, shut up and get in there!

I'll never make it live in this horrible place!

The savages will kill us all!

Don't cry, Judith, I'll take care of you.

You're very good to me, dear Hetty.

Dad always acting so strangely...

and wandering around for several weeks.

I'd die if I didn't have you with me.

Don't worry, Harry will take you away from all this.

I don't know, Hetty.

Sometimes I think he doesn't really care about me.

If he was serious, he'd stand up to his father...

and take me away.

Maybe he can't, Judith.

Maybe there's something between them...

to force him to be gentle with our father.

- What do you mean? - I can't describe it in words.

It's just a feeling I get when I watch them together.

That's a bit risky for Deerslayer and Moicano, isn't it?

They are likely to return this way.

If they don't have enough enough to avoid the traps...

that's their problem.

It looks like they're getting ready to attack the fort.

Strange... There are no sentries.

They must feel very confident.

Let's go. This is our chance. We'll destroy their canoes.

Lean on me!

Can you get to the lake?

Let's go!

You'd better get out of here.

I'll meet you by the lake.

Didn't you hear me? Get out. Get out of here!

They're wasting the bullets, the damn bush cats.

- They have to get closer. - And they will.

Leave them alone!

I'll blow them into the water!

You were very careless with those traps you set up.

He almost killed Chingachgook!

And I still might, if he doesn't stay away from Hetty.

She doesn't seem to mind.

Well, you'd better!

Otherwise, I'll tie her up, whether she realizes it or not!

There's no problem with her that some kindness wouldn't help.

And you would realize that if you were a real father to her.

Mind your manners. And tell that redskin to do the same.

Or I'll give him the same treatment I gave those Hurons.

I think I know why the Hurons came after you.

What do you mean?

I saw those two you left in the forest.

It was not a pleasant sight.

Neither did some of the white men I saw when the Indians caught them.

Or maybe it doesn't bother you.

I don't agree with removing scalps.

Regardless of the reason!

Come on, you're such a moralist.

Sit down, Judith.

I suppose you don't like the way he acts either.

What are you getting at?

Removal of scalps.

They say that some people make a business out of it.

You know, if you keep provoking me like this, I'm going to kick your ass.

"An eye for an eye" That's what the Bible says.

"Tooth for tooth".

- Who is it? - The Deerslayer.

Open up. I want to talk to you.

No! No! Go away! Get away from here!

Where are your sister and Harry?

Outside, carrying Judith's things into a canoe.

You'd better get your things then. We have to get out of here before dawn.

I'm not going.

I can't leave my father.

I'll make sure he goes too, even if I have to drag him!

Please, you mustn't!

- He would kill him. - No, he wouldn't.

Now get your things.

Where's Hetty? We have to go.

She'll be right back.

Can you help me with Old Tom?

Are you going somewhere?

Maybe... to Albany?

We definitely will!

No, you're not going with my daughters. They're staying right here with me!

Don't be an idiot. We won't be able to hold out here forever.

We have to get the girls out of here while we still have the chance.

Shut up.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Now that they've seen what the cannon can do, those savages will probably never come back.

They'll be back.

I assume you have something they desperately want.

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

I think you know.

Shall I tell him?

In front of the girls?

Get out of here!

Go or, I swear to God, I will shoot you without mercy!

Look!

Get the girls inside! Hurry up!

Let them come closer and I'll blow them up!

Help me with this!

It's Harry's wet gunpowder! I told you to get rid of it!

Harry, Old Tom's outside! Let him in!

Don't be silly! It's him or us!

Dad!

Dad! Father!

Harry, do something!

No, you can hit him!

The Hurons will torture the old white man.

They're not using that fire to dry his clothes.

You can be sure of that.

Where's Harry?

I wondered when you were going to do it.

Why not?

You don't need now.

Besides, you could say that I will inherit it when I marry Judith.

I doubt you're as anxious for the wedding as she is.

Are you saying that I don't want to make her well?

I'm saying that your only goal is to make Harry March well.

And no one else!

Don't touch that! What are you looking for?!

Go load that cannon.

What is it? What's in there?

Scalps.

Indian scalps.

You'd better not do that. Not everyone is a Huron.

He wasn't very specific, was he?

The only thing he caught in the were Indians and you know it!

I might have had a slight suspicion, but I never took part in anything!

No... you just took the scalps to Albany and got a reward!

What reward? What are you talking about?!

A cash reward for the scalps of the Hurons and the Iroquois.

Just like the French do for our Indian allies.

What's the problem? Isn't it legal?

Yes, it's cool!

This is the main reason for endless wars with the Indians.

It's one thing to kill an Indian in self-defense defense, when he attacks us furiously...

is another when we go looking for a scalp for dirty money!

So what? There are men on both sides doing it.

The demand for and trade in scalps became a regular business.

And at 100 dollars each, I'll get my share. Now, give it to me!

If you had nothing to do with this, as you say, you wouldn't be entitled to anything, would you?

I'm entitled to something for all the time I spent in these lost forests.

I could have been having fun with the girls in Albany instead of...

Look what you've done.

You've managed to upset Judith.

You're the most cynical man I've ever met, Harry March!

Now, if you want to do something good, go load that cannon...

and try to take care of those girls!

While I go and see what I can do for Old Tom.

You're not thinking of rescuing Old Tom from the Hurons, are you?

Where are you going with that?

To the Huron camp. Maybe you can negotiate with them.

Trading?! What kind of business?

These scalps by Old Tom.

Are you stupid?

You go to those savages and...

What's wrong, Hetty?

What's wrong?

The record of Old Tom of the Hutter family.

Births, deaths and everything else.

Haven't you ever read it?

Dad always kept his Bible in his trunk.

What's so important about it? What does it say?

Hetty isn't your sister, Judith. She's Indian.

Is Hetty Indian?

Your father brought her from an Indian village when she was just a baby.

She's very upset, Judith.

See what you can do for her.

Let's see.

You always knew about Hetty, didn't you?

Would an Indian recognize another Indian?

Have you finally decided to speak out?

Where are the scalps of our dead warriors?

Speak and you will die without suffering.

I know it's a shock, Hetty.

It was all very sudden.

But if you think about it...

you have more reasons to be happy than sad.

Happy?

Because I'm Indian?

Absolutely.

Don't you get it?

This proves that there is no problem with your mind, as you thought.

You feel and act the way you were born to do.

In the way that's right and natural for you.

It's not in your nature to be like Judith.

Just like most of us. Isn't that right, Chingachgook?

My white brother tells the truth. Believe me.

What are you up to now?

Nothing to worry about.

Come on, let's go. It's time to leave for Albany.

I won't go with you.

Not after what you said about your "Albany girls".

I didn't mean anything by it, Judith.

It's more than I can bear.

Father in the hands of savages and discover that Hetty is Indian.

And you make fun of me.

I wish I were dead!

So don't cry. Those eyes will turn red.

Don't Harry March!

You suck.

I assume you're right.

It's well done. After all my schemes and conspiracies...

I ended up losing what I loved the most.

What?

Stay here with the girls until nightfall, understand?

If we haven't returned then leave.

Okay.

You're not sure the Hurons will deliver him?

Well, it all depends on what they want more.

Old Tom or the scalps of his dead.

What makes you think that they even want those scalps?

Well, all Indians are superstitious.

And the Hurons more than most.

They believe that the spirit of the warrior who has lost his scalp will never be able to rest...

until his scalp has been claimed.

He won't be able to go "elsewhere" without his hair in place, right?

They will start torturing you slowly.

To try to get him to talk.

Well...

I assume this is the last time we'll see them.

Come on, let's go.

- Aren't you going to wait for them? - Do you think I'm crazy?

They have as many chances as Old Tom. Maybe even less.

What makes you so sure?

Forget it...

Let's go.

Let her stay if she wants to.

Because she's an Indian, the Hurons probably won't bother her, probably won't bother her.

But my father, Deerslayer and Chingachgook?!

Don't you worry about what will happen to them?

I'm worried about you and me and no one else.

Now, come on, let's go.

Harry...

Get off the boat!

And bring that bag with you.

What for?

What do you expect to find inside it?

The gold that was in the chest.

It wasn't there, when I went to look for gunpowder.

Did you get my father's gold?

Did you steal it?

I'm waiting, Harry.

Scalps...

- You stole them too! - Why not?

At 100 dollars each, they're worth a lot more to me...

than to a group of of superstitious pagans.

Harry, don't you realize what you've done!

Where the hell do you think you're going?!

Warn Deerslayer and Chingachgook!

You're not going in my canoe!

Let's use it to get me me and Judith out of here!

Hetty, come back!

- Let her go! - But she'll be killed! Everyone will be killed!

Shut up!

Are you coming with me or not?

Goodbye, Harry.

Judith!

Judith, come back! Did you hear me?!

He's still alive.

Wait!

Calm down...

I'm Deerslayer.

I come in peace to help the Hurons.

- Help us? - Yes.

Appeasing the spirits of your dead warriors.

Can you do that?

With you.

For the life of the old white man...

I'll give the Hurons the scalps he stole.

And what's to stop us with the scalps and your lives?

Only sly dogs bite the hand that helps them.

The scalps!

For the life of the old white man?

He doesn't have much life left.

It will be as you say.

We're too late!

We tried to warn him. Harry stole the scalps from your bag.

I should have realized that.

The scalps of our dead? Where are they?

The tall white man has them.

Is he still in the fort?

He went to Albany.

The tall white man... try to find him!

If I can catch him and get your scalps back...

will free the girls?

They will become slaves of the families of our dead.

I assume I know what you have in mind for Chingachgook and me.

It won't be the fire!

Hetty! Judy!

How...?!

Death Row!

You...?!

No, they're going to take us to their village.

- To make us slaves. - Slaves?

My daughters slaves to the Hurons?

Let me go, you bastard! I'll kill you!

I'm going to tear you apart!

You have a sharp tongue, old man.

I'll soon make it even sharper.

I'll get you first and I'll kill you!

I'll kill you with my own hands!

Run!

My father? Is he...?

Into the canyon!

We're trapped!

It's empty!

Mine too!

Don't let them catch you and Judith alive!

Got it?

Wait!

Here's what you want!

Keep them!

He's hurt!

Harry! Harry! Harry!

He has internal injuries.

No wonder, since he transported that cannon here from the fort.

It doesn't seem possible, even for him who is quite strong.

I think it was something more than force.

Are you sure you don't want to go with you. Albany is a long way away.

No, thank you.

It's my job to take care of Harry now.

She's going to take me to a doctor...

and a priest.

I'll miss you, Hetty.

I'd like you to come with us.

No, Judith. My place is with Chingachgook.

And his people.

My people will be pleased with you.

As soon as we get them here and take care of your wedding to Hetty...

you can start building a village.

Goodbye.

Goodbye and thank you.

Don't lose your scalp!
