1. Hello!Copy !req
2. John Cameron!Copy !req
3. Chingachgook! How are you?Copy !req
4. The Master of Life is good, John.
Another year passed.Copy !req
5. How is it with you?Copy !req
6. Getting along. Yes, I am.Copy !req
7. Nathaniel.Copy !req
8. Hello, John. Cleared another quarter, I see.Copy !req
9. Yes, I did.Copy !req
10. - Alexandra.
- Welcome.Copy !req
11. Jack. How are you?Copy !req
12. Hello, Nathaniel.Copy !req
13. - How've you been?
- Good, thank you.Copy !req
14. Where have you boys been trapping?Copy !req
15. West of the Continental.Copy !req
16. Why is Uncas with you?Copy !req
17. He should have settled with a woman,
started a family by now.Copy !req
18. Uncas, look.Copy !req
19. Mohawk field we saw
was five-mile long on the river.Copy !req
20. Chief Joseph Brandt's field.Copy !req
21. - You take much fur?
- That we did.Copy !req
22. - Lots.
- The Horican is near trapped out.Copy !req
23. Where're you trading? Castleton?Copy !req
24. - Schuylerville.
- Schuylerville, with the Dutch for silver.Copy !req
25. French and English want to pay
with wampum and brandy.Copy !req
26. What is it, Jack? What brings you here?Copy !req
27. A French and Indian army's heading south
out of Fort Carillon to war...Copy !req
28. against the British. I'm helping raise
New York's militia to fill the Crown's levy.Copy !req
29. And the people here
are going to join in that fight?Copy !req
30. We'll see in the morning.Copy !req
31. Where are you boys heading?Copy !req
32. We'll trap over the fall...Copy !req
33. and winter in Can-tuck-ee. Find
a Delaware-speaking woman for Uncas.Copy !req
34. She will say, "You are the one!"
Bear him many children!Copy !req
35. Then you can have a boy like me.Copy !req
36. Never. You're too strong.Copy !req
37. Turn me old too fast.Copy !req
38. That's what he's doing to his mama.Copy !req
39. John Cameron,
thank you for your hospitality.Copy !req
40. Mohawk got no quarrel with Les Français.Copy !req
41. Traded furs with Les Français.Copy !req
42. Now, Les Français bring Huron, Ottawa...Copy !req
43. Abenaki onto Mohawk land.
Now, Mohawk will fight...Copy !req
44. Les Français and Huron.Copy !req
45. I speak for the Twin River Mohawk
of the Six Nations.Copy !req
46. His Majesty King George II
is very grateful for your support.Copy !req
47. How far up the valley?Copy !req
48. - Up to Fort William Henry.
- That's two nights and a bit from here.Copy !req
49. Should be enough to remind you
France is our enemy.Copy !req
50. France is your enemy.Copy !req
51. What did you say?Copy !req
52. While we're at your fort,
what if the French attack our homes?Copy !req
53. What then, Lieutenant?Copy !req
54. For your homes, for King, for country!Copy !req
55. That's why you men
ought to join this fight!Copy !req
56. You do what you want
with your own scalp.Copy !req
57. Don't be telling us
what we ought to do with ours.Copy !req
58. You call yourself a patriot?
A loyal subject to the Crown?Copy !req
59. I do not call myself subject to much at all.Copy !req
60. I agree with some of what Nathaniel
and John say.Copy !req
61. But I believe England's still our sovereign.Copy !req
62. I'll fight with you, Jack.Copy !req
63. I'm staying on my farm.Copy !req
64. Any man who goes, his family's welcome...Copy !req
65. to fort up with us till he comes back.Copy !req
66. Boys, my sense of it is
we have enough here to fill...Copy !req
67. the county levy.
It's a fight we ought to make.Copy !req
68. But first, we've got to get terms
from General Webb.Copy !req
69. Where are you meeting him?Copy !req
70. We'll go to Albany.Copy !req
71. You, help my man outside
with the baggage.Copy !req
72. If they're not allowed leave
to defend their families and homes...Copy !req
73. if the French attack the settlements...Copy !req
74. no colonial militia will go
to Fort William Henry.Copy !req
75. They will report or be pressed into service.Copy !req
76. I cannot imagine His Majesty,
in all his benevolence...Copy !req
77. would ever object
to his loyal American subjects...Copy !req
78. defending their hearth and home,
their women and children.Copy !req
79. Does that mean they'll be granted leave...Copy !req
80. to defend their homes
if the settlements are attacked?Copy !req
81. Of course.Copy !req
82. You got yourself a colonial militia, General.Copy !req
83. Major Duncan Heyward reporting, sir.Copy !req
84. En route to Fort William Henry
and bearing dispatches.Copy !req
85. Safe journey, I trust?Copy !req
86. Yes, and I didn't experience anything
so surprising from Bristol to Albany...Copy !req
87. as that which I witnessed here today.Copy !req
88. What was that?Copy !req
89. The Crown "negotiating"
the terms of service.Copy !req
90. I know, one has to reason with these
colonials to get them to do anything.Copy !req
91. Tiring, isn't it?
But that's the lay of the land.Copy !req
92. I thought British policy is,
"Make the world England," sir.Copy !req
93. I see you're to serve
with the 35th Regiment of Foot...Copy !req
94. at Fort William Henry,
under Colonel Munro.Copy !req
95. I'll be marching the 60th to Fort Edward.Copy !req
96. Explain to the Major he has little to fear...Copy !req
97. from this General Marquis de Montcalm
in the first place...Copy !req
98. and therefore scant need
of a colonial militia in the second...Copy !req
99. because the French
haven't the nature for war.Copy !req
100. They'd rather eat and make love
with their faces than fight.Copy !req
101. Might I inquire if General Webb
has heard from Colonel Munro's daughters?Copy !req
102. I was to rendezvous with them in Albany,
and escort them to the fort, sir.Copy !req
103. You there. What does Munro call you?Copy !req
104. The Scotsman has sent you
one of his Mohawk allies to guide you.Copy !req
105. Magua.Copy !req
106. The Scotsman's daughters
are at the Poltroon's house.Copy !req
107. A company of the 60th
will accompany you...Copy !req
108. and Magua will show you the way.Copy !req
109. Dawn. At the encampment.
6:00 a.m. Sharp.Copy !req
110. See to it you're there.Copy !req
111. I'll take it for you, sir.Copy !req
112. Cora.Copy !req
113. Duncan.Copy !req
114. - How long have you been in Albany?
- For days and days. And yourself?Copy !req
115. Just arrived.Copy !req
116. By God, it's good to see you.Copy !req
117. I don't know what to say, Duncan.Copy !req
118. I truly wish they did, but my feelings...Copy !req
119. don't go beyond friendship.Copy !req
120. Don't you see?Copy !req
121. Respect and friendship.
Isn't that a reasonable basis...Copy !req
122. for a man and a woman to be married?
All else may grow in time.Copy !req
123. Some say that's the way of it.Copy !req
124. Some?Copy !req
125. Cousin Eugenie, my father...Copy !req
126. Well, then, Cora...Copy !req
127. in my heart, I know.Copy !req
128. Once we're joined we'll be
the most marvelous couple in London.Copy !req
129. I'm certain of that.Copy !req
130. So, why not let those whom you trust,
your father...Copy !req
131. help settle what's best for you?Copy !req
132. In view of your indecision,
you should rely on their judgment.Copy !req
133. And mine.Copy !req
134. Will you consider that?Copy !req
135. Please consider that.Copy !req
136. Yes.Copy !req
137. Yes, I will.Copy !req
138. Duncan!Copy !req
139. By God, you've grown up.Copy !req
140. We leave in the morning?Copy !req
141. - Yes, miss.
- I shan't sleep tonight.Copy !req
142. What an adventure.
Have you seen the red men?Copy !req
143. A few.Copy !req
144. I absolutely cannot wait to return
to Portman Square...Copy !req
145. having been to the wilderness.
It's so exciting.Copy !req
146. Alice?Copy !req
147. - Can we rest soon?
- Absolutely.Copy !req
148. You there.Copy !req
149. Scout. We must stop soon.
Women are tired.Copy !req
150. Not here.Copy !req
151. Two leagues. Better water.
We stop there.Copy !req
152. No, stop in the glade just ahead.Copy !req
153. When the ladies are rested
we will proceed. Do you understand?Copy !req
154. Excuse me, what did you say?Copy !req
155. Magua said,
"I understand English very well."Copy !req
156. Hold tight.Copy !req
157. Right! Step to the right!Copy !req
158. All fire right! Ranks!Copy !req
159. Make ready!Copy !req
160. Ready!Copy !req
161. Aim!Copy !req
162. Fire!Copy !req
163. No, Duncan.Copy !req
164. In case your aim's any better
than your judgment.Copy !req
165. Your wounded should try walking
on back to Albany.Copy !req
166. They'll never make a passage north.Copy !req
167. Stop it! Stop it!Copy !req
168. - We need them to get out!
- Why's he losing the horses?Copy !req
169. Why don't you ask him?Copy !req
170. Too easy to track.Copy !req
171. They'll be heard for miles.
Find yourself a musket.Copy !req
172. We were headed to Fort William Henry.Copy !req
173. We'll take you as far as the fort.Copy !req
174. We're walking out of here fast.Copy !req
175. Less all of you'd rather wait
for the next Huron war party to come by.Copy !req
176. Scout, I'd like to thank you for your help.Copy !req
177. How much further is it?Copy !req
178. A night and a bit.Copy !req
179. Appears we're well away from them.Copy !req
180. Maybe.Copy !req
181. Maybe they aren't alone.Copy !req
182. That Huron captain back there...Copy !req
183. The guide? He's a Mohawk.Copy !req
184. No Mohawk, he's Huron. What reason
did he have to murder the girl?Copy !req
185. What?Copy !req
186. The dark-haired one.Copy !req
187. Miss Cora Munro? Murder her?
He never set eyes on her before today.Copy !req
188. She's only been here a week.Copy !req
189. No blood vengeance?
No reproach or insult?Copy !req
190. Of course not!
How is it you were so nearby?Copy !req
191. Came across the war party.Copy !req
192. Tracked them.Copy !req
193. Then you're assigned
to Fort William Henry?Copy !req
194. No.Copy !req
195. Fort Edward, then?Copy !req
196. Heading west for Can-tuck-ee.Copy !req
197. There is a war on.
How is it you are heading west?Copy !req
198. We kind of face to the north
and real sudden like turn left.Copy !req
199. I thought all our colonial scouts
were in the militia.Copy !req
200. The militia is fighting the French
in the north.Copy !req
201. I'm not your scout.Copy !req
202. And I sure ain't in no damn militia.Copy !req
203. Clear it up any?Copy !req
204. Ottawa, two Français.Copy !req
205. What did you say?Copy !req
206. Mirrors, tools.Copy !req
207. Clothes.Copy !req
208. Everything was inside.
They didn't take anything.Copy !req
209. They were moving fast. A war party.Copy !req
210. Let us look after them.Copy !req
211. Leave them.Copy !req
212. Whoever they are,
though they're strangers...Copy !req
213. they're at least entitled
to a Christian burial.Copy !req
214. They can't be left behind.Copy !req
215. Let us go, miss.Copy !req
216. I will not!
I've seen the face of war before, sir...Copy !req
217. but I've not seen war
made upon women and children.Copy !req
218. And almost as cruel is your indifference.Copy !req
219. Miss Munro. They're not strangers.Copy !req
220. And they stay as they lay.Copy !req
221. Why didn't you bury those people?Copy !req
222. Anyone looking for our trail
would see it as a sign...Copy !req
223. we'd passed that way.Copy !req
224. You knew them well?Copy !req
225. You were acting for our benefit
and I apologize.Copy !req
226. I misunderstood you.Copy !req
227. Well, that's to be expected.Copy !req
228. - My father warned me about...
- Your father?Copy !req
229. Chingachgook.
He warned me about people like you.Copy !req
230. Oh, he did?Copy !req
231. - He said, "Do not try to understand them."
- What?Copy !req
232. Yes, and, "Do not try to make them
understand you.Copy !req
233. "That is because they are a breed apart
and make no sense."Copy !req
234. Why did they turn back?Copy !req
235. Burial ground.Copy !req
236. A breed apart, we make no sense?Copy !req
237. In your particular case, miss,
I'd make allowance.Copy !req
238. Thank you so much.Copy !req
239. Where's your real family?Copy !req
240. They buried my ma and pa and my sisters.Copy !req
241. Chingachgook found me with two French
trappers, raised me up as his own.Copy !req
242. I'm sorry.Copy !req
243. I do not remember them.
I wasn't but one or two.Copy !req
244. How did you learn English?Copy !req
245. My father sent Uncas and I to Reverend
Wheelock's school when I was 10.Copy !req
246. Why were those people living
in this defenseless place?Copy !req
247. After seven years indentured service
in Virginia, they headed here...Copy !req
248. because the frontier's the only land
available to poor people.Copy !req
249. Out here, they're beholden to none.
Not living by another's leave.Copy !req
250. Their name was Cameron.Copy !req
251. John and Alexandra Cameron.Copy !req
252. My father's people say
that at the birth of the sun...Copy !req
253. and of his brother, the moon,
their mother died.Copy !req
254. So the sun gave to the earth her body,
from which was to spring all life.Copy !req
255. And he drew forth
from her breast the stars.Copy !req
256. The stars he threw into the night sky
to remind him of her soul.Copy !req
257. So there's the Camerons' monument.Copy !req
258. My folks', too, I guess.Copy !req
259. You are right, Mr. Poe.Copy !req
260. We do not understand
what is happening here.Copy !req
261. And it's not as I imagined it to be,
thinking of it in Boston and London.Copy !req
262. Sorry to disappoint you.Copy !req
263. No, on the contrary.
It is more deeply stirring to my blood...Copy !req
264. than any imagining
could possibly have been.Copy !req
265. Top of the next ridge.
The fort's downhill of it.Copy !req
266. The men of the regiment will fetch water
from the lake, build fires...Copy !req
267. and provide every comfort you desire.Copy !req
268. I cannot wait to see Papa.Copy !req
269. Fire!Copy !req
270. And again!Copy !req
271. - I'm Major Duncan Heyward.
- Captain Jeffrey Beams.Copy !req
272. - We didn't expect you to make it through.
- Let's go to Munro.Copy !req
273. Go, boys!Copy !req
274. Nathaniel!Copy !req
275. It's torture, Jack!Copy !req
276. Uncas!Copy !req
277. Thought you and Nathaniel
weren't joining up.Copy !req
278. We didn't.Copy !req
279. We just dropped in
to see how you boys were doing.Copy !req
280. Papa!Copy !req
281. Alice! Cora!Copy !req
282. Why are you here?Copy !req
283. And where the hell are my reinforcements?Copy !req
284. Get Mr. Phelps!Copy !req
285. I told you to stay away.Copy !req
286. Why did you disobey me, girls?Copy !req
287. When? How, I...Copy !req
288. My letter.Copy !req
289. There was none.Copy !req
290. - What?
- There was no letter.Copy !req
291. I sent three couriers to Webb.Copy !req
292. - One called Magua arrived.
- He delivered no such message.Copy !req
293. - Does Webb not know we are besieged?
- Webb has no idea.Copy !req
294. He certainly does not know
to send reinforcements.Copy !req
295. - What happened to you?
- On the George Road. Attacked.Copy !req
296. We're fine.Copy !req
297. - Are you all right?
- Yes.Copy !req
298. What will happen here, Papa?Copy !req
299. - We'll be all right, girl.
- This Magua led us into it.Copy !req
300. Eighteen killed.Copy !req
301. These men came to our aid.
They guided us here.Copy !req
302. Thank you.Copy !req
303. Do you need anything?Copy !req
304. Can we help ourselves to a few horns
from your powder stores?Copy !req
305. And some food?Copy !req
306. I'm indebted to you.Copy !req
307. Miss Cora, how are you?Copy !req
308. Hello, Mr. Phelps.Copy !req
309. Mrs. McCann will get
some dry clothes for you.Copy !req
310. Thank you.Copy !req
311. Go with your sister, Alice.Copy !req
312. It'll be all right, girl.Copy !req
313. It'll be all right.Copy !req
314. Might I inquire after the situation, sir...Copy !req
315. given that I've seen the French
engineering from the ridge above?Copy !req
316. The situation is, his guns are bigger
than mine and he has more of them.Copy !req
317. They keep our heads down while his troops
dig 30 yards of trench a day.Copy !req
318. When those trenches are 200 yards
from the fort and in range...Copy !req
319. he'll bring in his 15-inch mortars,
lob explosive rounds over our walls...Copy !req
320. and pound us to dust.Copy !req
321. They look to be 300 yards out.Copy !req
322. If they're digging 30 yards a day,
you have three days.Copy !req
323. Damn.Copy !req
324. A man here can make a run
straight through to Webb.Copy !req
325. Three days isn't enough to get to Albany
and back with reinforcements.Copy !req
326. Webb's not in Albany.Copy !req
327. He marched the 60th
to Fort Edward two days ago.Copy !req
328. Webb is at Edward?Copy !req
329. Yes, sir.Copy !req
330. That's only 12 miles away.Copy !req
331. He could have reinforcements here
the day after tomorrow.Copy !req
332. You, sir. Pick your man.
Major Heyward will provide a diversion.Copy !req
333. I'll draft out a dispatch.Copy !req
334. Captain Beams will seek you out
and give it to you later.Copy !req
335. Something else.Copy !req
336. Cameron's cabin. Frontier cabin.
Came upon it yesterday.Copy !req
337. It was burnt, everyone murdered.
It was Ottawa, allied to the French.Copy !req
338. So?Copy !req
339. It was a war party.Copy !req
340. That means they're going to be attacking
up and down the frontier.Copy !req
341. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
342. People here, Mohawks, settlers,
have family out there!Copy !req
343. That'll be all, sir!Copy !req
344. Things were done. Nobody was spared.Copy !req
345. Those considerations are subordinate
to the interests of the Crown.Copy !req
346. A terrible feature of war
here in the Americas, Major Heyward.Copy !req
347. Best keep your eye fixed on our duty,
to defeat France.Copy !req
348. That hangs on a courier to Webb.Copy !req
349. I will give you three oxen for a feast.Copy !req
350. And tomorrow,
I will sing the war song with you...Copy !req
351. at the Great Council Fire.Copy !req
352. How are things with your English friends?Copy !req
353. The English war chief, Webb,
goes to Fort Edward with 60th Regiment.Copy !req
354. He does not know that my father's army
attacks Fort William Henry.Copy !req
355. Magua was successful?Copy !req
356. The other two couriers died in the forest.Copy !req
357. By now, Munro would know
his dispatch did not get through.Copy !req
358. He'll send another.Copy !req
359. The Grey Hair will try.Copy !req
360. Four or five, including two women,
entered the fort.Copy !req
361. The Grey Hair's children
were under Magua's knife. They escaped.Copy !req
362. They will be under it again.Copy !req
363. Why do you hate the Grey Hair, Magua?Copy !req
364. When the Grey Hair is dead,
Magua will eat his heart.Copy !req
365. Before he dies, Magua will put
his children under the knife...Copy !req
366. so the Grey Hair will know
his seed is wiped out forever.Copy !req
367. Miss Cora?Copy !req
368. - Gentleman looking for you.
- Miss Munro.Copy !req
369. May I?Copy !req
370. It will seep and then it's going to draw.Copy !req
371. Thank you, miss.Copy !req
372. About done holding hands
with Miss Munro?Copy !req
373. We got some work to do.Copy !req
374. What are you looking at, sir?Copy !req
375. I'm looking at you, miss.Copy !req
376. Munro refused to believe what happened.Copy !req
377. He does not even want to hear it.Copy !req
378. Well, he's going to have to.Copy !req
379. Get together by the west bastion.
Lan, Sharitarish, Ongewasgone and William.Copy !req
380. Tight weave.Copy !req
381. Silk. Another 40 yards.Copy !req
382. And how am I to know
it wasn't a raid by common thieves?Copy !req
383. The cabin was attacked by a war party
fighting with the French.Copy !req
384. They're sweeping south down the frontier,
attacking farms and Mohawk villages.Copy !req
385. All the men are stuck here.Copy !req
386. I need more proof
than this man's opinion...Copy !req
387. before I weaken the defenses
by releasing the militia.Copy !req
388. Chingachgook's of the same opinion
about the raid.Copy !req
389. Taken together, that's gospel.Copy !req
390. Your fort will stand or fall,
depending on Webb's reinforcements...Copy !req
391. not the presence of the colonials.Copy !req
392. I judge military matters here! Not you!Copy !req
393. Your judgment isn't more important
than their right under agreement...Copy !req
394. with Webb to defend their farms
and families.Copy !req
395. Major Heyward was there.Copy !req
396. He was at John Cameron's.
He saw what it was.Copy !req
397. What exactly did you see, Major?Copy !req
398. I saw nothing that would lead me
to the conclusion it was other than...Copy !req
399. a raid by savages bent on thievery.Copy !req
400. You're a liar!Copy !req
401. Major!Copy !req
402. Montcalm is a soldier and a gentleman,
not a butcher.Copy !req
403. It's easy for you to suppose. It's their
women and children alone, not yours!Copy !req
404. - You forget yourself!
- We're not forgetting Webb's promise.Copy !req
405. British promises are honored.Copy !req
406. The militia won't be released.
I need more proof than this man's word.Copy !req
407. Nathaniel's word has been good
a long time before you got here.Copy !req
408. This meeting is over! The militia stays!Copy !req
409. Does the rule of English law
no longer govern?Copy !req
410. Has it been replaced by absolutism?Copy !req
411. If English law can't be trusted, they better
making their own peace with the French.Copy !req
412. - That's sedition!
- That's the truth!Copy !req
413. I'll have you beaten from this fort!Copy !req
414. Someday we're going to have
a serious disagreement.Copy !req
415. Anyone fomenting or advocating
leaving Fort William Henry...Copy !req
416. will be hung for sedition.Copy !req
417. Anyone actually caught leaving
will be shot for desertion.Copy !req
418. And my decision is final. Get out!Copy !req
419. I wanted to talk to you.Copy !req
420. Talk to Duncan, Cora. I must manage.Copy !req
421. I cannot be an invalid schoolgirl.Copy !req
422. I'll see if Mr. Phelps needs anything.Copy !req
423. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...Copy !req
424. When we come together back in England...Copy !req
425. and are married
and away from this place...Copy !req
426. what had to be done and said here
will matter not at all.Copy !req
427. I'm certain of that.Copy !req
428. Duncan, I promised you an answer.Copy !req
429. You've complimented me
with your persistence and patience.Copy !req
430. But the decision I've come to is:Copy !req
431. I'd rather make the gravest of mistakes
than surrender my own judgment.Copy !req
432. Please take this as my final answer.Copy !req
433. It must be no.Copy !req
434. I see.Copy !req
435. Yeah, Nathaniel,
but you weren't ever for being here.Copy !req
436. That's right. I saw it that way then
and I see it that way now.Copy !req
437. Lan, if I had kin in the settlements,
hell, I'd be damn sure I'd be long gone.Copy !req
438. What do we do
about being under Crown law?Copy !req
439. I believe if they set aside their law,
as and when they wish...Copy !req
440. their law no longer has
rightful authority over us.Copy !req
441. All they have over us then, is tyranny.Copy !req
442. And I will not live under that yoke.
So I will stay here no longer.Copy !req
443. Anyone caught leaving the fort
could be shot...Copy !req
444. so each man make a decision.Copy !req
445. Those who are going, be back in an hour.Copy !req
446. Out the northern sally-port.Copy !req
447. Strike for the east side of the swamp
till you clear the French picket line.Copy !req
448. Head north over the ridge,
then come about southeast.Copy !req
449. Fork left in Little Meadow and you're free
of the outpost and skirmishers.Copy !req
450. Should've skinned out of this long ago.Copy !req
451. We got no families, Captain.
We figured we'd stay and give a hand.Copy !req
452. I'll cover you from the top of the bastion.Copy !req
453. You're not coming with us?Copy !req
454. I got a reason to stay.Copy !req
455. That reason wear a striped skirt
and work in the surgery?Copy !req
456. It does.Copy !req
457. No offense, but it's a better-looking reason
than you, Jack Winthrop.Copy !req
458. Push hard because you've got to clear
the French outpost by dawn.Copy !req
459. Good luck, Jack.Copy !req
460. - Ongewasgone, are you staying?
- Yes.Copy !req
461. There's too many French.Copy !req
462. And so few of us to fight.
Not too many to die.Copy !req
463. But we've given our word
to our English fathers.Copy !req
464. As you were!Copy !req
465. Stand off.Copy !req
466. Take him.Copy !req
467. As you were.Copy !req
468. He saved us.
We're alive only because of him.Copy !req
469. He encouraged the colonials to desert
in this room and in my presence!Copy !req
470. - Sir!
- He's guilty of sedition.Copy !req
471. He must be tried like any criminal
regardless of what he did for my children.Copy !req
472. But he knew the consequences,
and he stayed.Copy !req
473. Are those the actions of a criminal?Copy !req
474. Duncan, do something.Copy !req
475. He knew the penalty for his actions.
He should pay without sending you to beg.Copy !req
476. You know he wouldn't send me.
You falsely spoke of what you saw.Copy !req
477. What happened at the farm
was as Nathaniel said.Copy !req
478. But not with enough certainty
to outweigh British interests in this fort.Copy !req
479. Who empowered these colonials
to pass judgment on England's policies...Copy !req
480. in her own possessions,
and to come and go...Copy !req
481. without so much as a by-your-leave?Copy !req
482. They don't live their lives by your leave!Copy !req
483. They hack it out of the wilderness
with their hands...Copy !req
484. burying their children along the way.Copy !req
485. You're defending him because
you've become infatuated with him!Copy !req
486. You are a man
with a few admirable qualities.Copy !req
487. But taken as a whole, I was wrong
to have thought so highly of you.Copy !req
488. I would do anything I could
to keep you from being hurt.Copy !req
489. But he's guilty of sedition and subject
to military justice and beyond pardon.Copy !req
490. If that's justice, the sooner French guns
blow the English army out of America...Copy !req
491. the better it'll be for people here.Copy !req
492. - You don't know what you're saying!
- I know exactly what I'm saying!Copy !req
493. And if it's sedition,
then I am guilty of sedition, too.Copy !req
494. They're going to hang you.Copy !req
495. Why didn't you leave
when you had the chance?Copy !req
496. Because what I'm interested in
is right here.Copy !req
497. What can I do?Copy !req
498. Webb's reinforcements will arrive or not.Copy !req
499. If they do not arrive,
the fort will fall to the French.Copy !req
500. If that happens, stay close to your father.Copy !req
501. Stay close to him.Copy !req
502. The French officers will try to protect
the officers among the English.Copy !req
503. No. I will find you.Copy !req
504. Do not.Copy !req
505. Promise me.Copy !req
506. The whole world's on fire, isn't it?Copy !req
507. What is it?Copy !req
508. Remember what I told you.Copy !req
509. Stay close to your father and the officers.Copy !req
510. Company! Left face!Copy !req
511. Colonel Munro. I have known you
as a gallant antagonist.Copy !req
512. I am happy to make your acquaintance
as a friend.Copy !req
513. And I yours, Monsieur le Marquis.Copy !req
514. You've already done everything which is
necessary for the honor of your prince...Copy !req
515. but now I beg you to listen
to the admonishments of humanity.Copy !req
516. I beg you to consider my terms
for your surrender.Copy !req
517. Perhaps the General's glass
can reach as far as the Hudson...Copy !req
518. and seize the size and eminence
of the army of Webb.Copy !req
519. My scouts intercepted
this dispatch intended for you.Copy !req
520. Captain de Bougainville.Copy !req
521. "To Colonel Munro:Copy !req
522. "Sir, I regret to inform you
that I have no men available...Copy !req
523. "... to send to your rescue.Copy !req
524. "It is quite impossible.
I advise you to seek terms for surrender.Copy !req
525. "I remain, Jerome Webb, at Fort Edward."Copy !req
526. This is the signature of Webb.Copy !req
527. And I know the temper of our men.Copy !req
528. Rather than spend the war
in a French prison hulk in Hudson Bay...Copy !req
529. they'd fight to the end.Copy !req
530. You've heard your answer,
Monsieur le Marquis.Copy !req
531. I beg you not to sign
the death warrant of so many...Copy !req
532. to what I have to say.Copy !req
533. Go on.Copy !req
534. None of your men will see
the inside of a prison barge.Copy !req
535. They are free...Copy !req
536. so long as they return to England
and fight no more on this continent...Copy !req
537. and the civilian militia
return to their farms.Copy !req
538. Their arms?Copy !req
539. They may leave the fortress fully armed.Copy !req
540. My colors?Copy !req
541. Carry them to England with pride.Copy !req
542. Allow me to consult with my officers.Copy !req
543. I have lived to see something
which I never expected.Copy !req
544. - A British officer afraid to support another.
- Webb can burn in hell.Copy !req
545. And we'll go back and dig our graves
behind those ramparts.Copy !req
546. Death and honor
are thought to be the same...Copy !req
547. but today I have learned
that sometimes they are not.Copy !req
548. Sir?Copy !req
549. Is the hatchet buried
between the English and my French father?Copy !req
550. Yes.Copy !req
551. Not a warrior has a scalp,
and the white men become friends.Copy !req
552. My master owns these lands,
and I have been ordered to drive off...Copy !req
553. the English squatters.Copy !req
554. They have consented to go,
so now I call them enemies no longer.Copy !req
555. Magua took the hatchet
to color with blood. It's still bright.Copy !req
556. Only when it's red, then it will be buried.Copy !req
557. So many suns have set
since Magua struck the war post.Copy !req
558. And where is that sun?Copy !req
559. Magua is the son of his people
and he has come to lead many of them!Copy !req
560. But Magua has power with his Huron
people and others here, I know well.Copy !req
561. Magua's village and lodges were burnt.Copy !req
562. Magua's children
were killed by the English.Copy !req
563. I was taken as slave by the Mohawk,
who fought for the Grey Hair.Copy !req
564. Magua's wife believed he was dead...Copy !req
565. and became the wife of another.Copy !req
566. The Grey Hair was the father of all that.Copy !req
567. In time...Copy !req
568. Magua became blood brother
to the Mohawk, to become free.Copy !req
569. But always in his heart he is Huron!Copy !req
570. And his heart will be whole again
on the day...Copy !req
571. the Grey Hair and all his seed are dead.Copy !req
572. Does the chief of the Canadas believe
the English will keep the terms?Copy !req
573. Colonel Munro would...Copy !req
574. but General Webb
will not honor the agreement...Copy !req
575. and send their soldiers away.Copy !req
576. I fear having let them go, which I must...Copy !req
577. I will only fight the same men again
when I drive towards Albany.Copy !req
578. Monsieur, the fort is yours.Copy !req
579. Fire!Copy !req
580. Grey Hair.Copy !req
581. Before you die, know that I will put
under the knife your children...Copy !req
582. so I will wipe your seed
from the earth forever.Copy !req
583. Got nothing better to do
on the lake today, Major?Copy !req
584. When you fall into British hands again
I'll have you hanged!Copy !req
585. Faster!Copy !req
586. Take to the river!Copy !req
587. - Where are we going?
- Nowhere.Copy !req
588. I don't understand.Copy !req
589. This is as far as we go!
If we're lucky, they'll figure...Copy !req
590. we beached our canoes
and headed across land.Copy !req
591. If we're lucky,
they'll figure we went over the falls.Copy !req
592. Our only hope is they pass us by.Copy !req
593. - If they do?
- Take the south rim down the mountain.Copy !req
594. It's 12 miles cross-country to Fort Edward.Copy !req
595. And if they don't?Copy !req
596. You'll just have to forego
the pleasure of hanging me.Copy !req
597. Any powder?Copy !req
598. Done.Copy !req
599. Mine's soaking wet!Copy !req
600. Our father?Copy !req
601. Did you see my father?Copy !req
602. From a distance.Copy !req
603. Say nothing to Alice.Copy !req
604. Get back!Copy !req
605. Go ahead!Copy !req
606. What the bloody-hell plan is this?Copy !req
607. I want you to go!Copy !req
608. If we go there's a chance
there won't be a fight!Copy !req
609. There's no powder! If we don't go,
then there's no chance! None!Copy !req
610. You understand?Copy !req
611. Coward!Copy !req
612. You've done everything you can do.
Save yourself!Copy !req
613. If the worst happens...Copy !req
614. and only one of us survives,
something of the other does, too.Copy !req
615. No! You stay alive!Copy !req
616. If they don't kill you, they'll take you
north up to the Huron lands.Copy !req
617. Submit, do you hear? You're strong!Copy !req
618. You survive!Copy !req
619. Stay alive, no matter what occurs!
I will find you!Copy !req
620. No matter how long it takes.
No matter how far.Copy !req
621. I will find you!Copy !req
622. I don't speak Huron.Copy !req
623. - You speak French, Major?
- Yes.Copy !req
624. Translate for me into French
every word as I say it.Copy !req
625. I come to you unarmed and in peace
to unstop your ears, Sachem.Copy !req
626. Let the children of the dead Colonel Munro
go free.Copy !req
627. Take fire out of the English anger
over the murder of their helpless ones.Copy !req
628. Sachem, the French fathers made peace.
Magua broke it!Copy !req
629. It is false that the French
will be friends still to the Huron.Copy !req
630. Would Magua use the ways
of Les Français and the Yengeese?Copy !req
631. - Would you?
- Yes!Copy !req
632. Would the Huron
make his Algonquin brothers...Copy !req
633. foolish with brandy and steal his lands
to sell them for gold to the white man?Copy !req
634. Would Huron have greed for more land
than a man can use?Copy !req
635. Would Huron fool Seneca into taking...Copy !req
636. all the furs of all the animals of the forest
for beads and strong whiskey?Copy !req
637. Would the Huron kill every man,
woman and child of their enemy?Copy !req
638. Those are the ways of the Yengeese...Copy !req
639. and the Français traders
and their masters in Europe...Copy !req
640. infected with the sickness of greed!Copy !req
641. Magua's heart is twisted.Copy !req
642. He would make himself
into what twisted him.Copy !req
643. I am Nathaniel of the Yengeese.Copy !req
644. Hawkeye, adopted son
of Chingachgook of the Mohican people.Copy !req
645. Let the children of the dead Munro
and the Yengeese officer go free.Copy !req
646. This belt which is a record of the days
of my father's people speaks for my truth.Copy !req
647. Tell him I'll trade him. Me for her! Say it!Copy !req
648. I am La Longue Carabine!
My death is a great honor to the Huron!Copy !req
649. Take me!Copy !req
650. You tell him?Copy !req
651. Yes.Copy !req
652. Take me!Copy !req
653. Take me! My compliments, sir!
Take her and get out!Copy !req
654. Duncan! What are they doing to Duncan?
Where's Alice?Copy !req
655. Great Spirit and the Maker of all Life...Copy !req
656. a warrior goes to you swift
and straight as an arrow shot into the sun.Copy !req
657. Welcome him, and let him take his place
at the Council Fire of my people.Copy !req
658. He is Uncas, my son.Copy !req
659. Tell him to be patient
and ask death for speed...Copy !req
660. for they are all there but one,
I, Chingachgook...Copy !req
661. the last of the Mohicans.Copy !req
