00:00The immortal pen of James F. Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement, blazing
00:13action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring and courage
00:20of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, King Tutkuk, last of the
00:29Mohicans.
00:30Way out of their territory.
01:22Don't be frightened, they're gone.
01:26You're a white man.
01:29She's not an Indian, she's a white woman.
01:32Who are you, ma'am?
01:33I'm Martha.
01:35Martha Wales.
01:41Chad.
01:44My baby.
01:46My baby.
01:48Chad.
01:50You're a white man, you can help.
01:52Help me find my baby, please.
01:55White woman very sick.
01:57Take to trading post.
02:06It was 18 years ago.
02:09We had a little cabin.
02:11My husband and my three-year-old son, Chad.
02:15And then two white men came.
02:19They had an argument with my husband.
02:25They killed him.
02:27They gave me and my boy to some Indians.
02:32I don't know what tribe.
02:34How long were you with them, Mrs. Wales?
02:38Less than a week.
02:40A shaman.
02:43You know, the medicine man?
02:46He took Chad away from me.
02:49And he sold me to some Indians from another tribe.
02:55Over the years, I was sold again and again as a slave to other tribes.
03:04The only thing that kept me going was the hope that someday I'd escape and find my boy.
03:15Please.
03:17Please help me find my boy.
03:19That's a great order, Mrs. Wales.
03:21This is a big country, and 18 years is a long time.
03:24Even if Jed were alive, we don't even know what he looks like.
03:27Now you get some rest.
03:29And when you feel stronger, we'll talk about it some more.
03:45I wonder what the Assiniboine were doing so far east.
03:49They follow white women slave anyplace.
03:52We saw two of them.
03:53Mrs. Wales says the whole tribe's moving east.
03:56Well, maybe they follow deer and buffalo.
03:59Hunger greater than fear of a biwa.
04:02Maybe.
04:03I can't find out very much from her.
04:04Every time I ask her why the Assiniboine are on the move, all she talks about is finding her son.
04:08We look for him?
04:09I'd like to help her, but after 18 years, the chances are pretty slim.
04:13Mrs. Assiniboine bought it me.
04:23Mr. Cleet.
04:24How are you?
04:25I'm fine.
04:26How are you?
04:27I'm fine.
04:28How about you?
04:29I'm fine.
04:30How about you?
04:31I'm fine.
04:32How about you?
04:33I'm fine.
04:34How about you?
04:35I'm fine.
04:37Mr. Cleet.
04:40We've been attacked by Indians.
04:44Please be careful.
04:46The wound isn't too serious.
04:48Help me get him inside.
05:01Were you on your way here when the Indians attacked you?
05:03No.
05:04They surprised us out at our farm.
05:05First thing we knew, an arrow hit John, and I dragged him into the barn.
05:09Did you get a good look at them?
05:11I certainly did.
05:12There were a dozen of the savages.
05:13They set fire to our house, and then when they were just about to do the same thing to the barn, the white man stopped them.
05:19The white man?
05:20Yes, the one who was leading them.
05:22A young fellow he was.
05:23He was dressed like an Indian, and he was covered with war paint.
05:29Where did they live?
05:30Belize.
05:31The last farm past the hill.
05:33The Indians have a legend that one day their great god, the Manitou, will send them a white prophet
05:38to unite them and get the land back for the Red Men.
05:41Prophet is white eagle.
05:43Legends say sun, moon, and stars.
05:48I was wondering about the white Indian that Mrs. Lee told us about.
05:51Tie that in with all those tribes coming into this territory,
05:54and we'd better make it our business to look into this.
05:58Goodbye, Mr. Boncourt.
05:59Goodbye, Mrs. Lee.
06:01I think you'll be all right.
06:03Bye.
06:10It's a free village.
06:11I hope they're friendly.
06:12We go into the village?
06:14Yeah, we may have to fight our way out.
06:29It's kind of quiet.
06:31They don't like us here.
06:33Yeah, like the lull before the storm.
06:45Hawkeyes seek white eagle.
06:47Have message for a white prophet of Manitou.
06:53You mean the Cree nations have taken a vow of silence?
06:56Why?
06:58No good try and make Cree talk.
07:02They have great secrets.
07:04Tongue be silent.
07:06We leave in peace.
07:12The chief's message tells us something.
07:14If they won't tell us where white eagle is, we'll have to find someone who will.
07:28White Eagle
07:42We've seen many tribes not belong this land.
07:45No sign of white eagle.
07:47Another thing, all the tribes seem to be on the move, but where to?
07:51Well, my brother knows that once each year medicine men have secret power.
07:55Maybe that's where we find white eagle.
07:57Yeah, that's a thought.
07:58If we could trail one of those medicine men, maybe we can...
08:14We seek the prophet of Manitou, white eagle.
08:16Can you show us his path?
08:19That pan!
08:20I'm not going to hurt it.
08:21Did you get it from the copper man?
08:27Where did you see him?
08:49There he is.
08:52Ho! Copper man!
09:06Hawkeye!
09:07How far into the territory did you go this trip?
09:10As far as the foothills beyond the big Ojibwa village ten miles back.
09:13I was stopped there.
09:15Stopped by who?
09:16Sun Bear, the Ojibwa medicine man.
09:18He ordered me out of the country.
09:20First time it ever happened to.
09:22You hear of white eagle?
09:23Nothing definite, but I might have seen him.
09:26Where?
09:27That same Ojibwa village.
09:28Stayed overnight there.
09:29Saw a young man step out of the council teepee.
09:32When he saw me, he stepped right back in.
09:34I'd have sworn he was white.
09:36And you not see him again?
09:38The Ojibwa took care of that.
09:40You say he was a young man?
09:42I'd judge he was in his early twenties.
09:44That's about all I can tell you.
09:46Thanks, copper man.
09:48I guess Chingitsguk and I have got a couple of chores to do.
09:51Bye.
09:53Bye, copper man.
09:54Come on, boy, let's go.
10:04If all tribes go on war path,
10:06that word of Manitou's white prophet,
10:09much trouble two men to stop.
10:11Two men, maybe.
10:12But I'm not so sure about one woman.
10:15Woman?
10:16White eagle's mother.
10:17Legend says mother of white eagle is moon.
10:21Well, I think that white eagle's mother
10:23is the woman we found wandering around in the forest,
10:25Mrs. Wales.
10:27Well, there's one way to find out.
10:29We'll go into the Ojibwa village and see what happens.
10:39Let's go.
11:10We come in peace.
11:15I am Hawkeye, the long rifle.
11:18My blood brother Chingitsguk and I
11:20greet the chiefs of the Cree,
11:22Ojibwa, Seneboyne,
11:25Napersay, Groventer.
11:29I seek the white eagle.
11:31I have reason to believe he is here.
11:33I have reason to believe he is here.
11:36I seek the white eagle.
11:37I have reason to believe he is here.
11:43Hawkeye lie.
11:44He does not come in peace.
11:46He comes to destroy white eagle.
11:48I do speak the truth.
11:50Where is the white eagle?
11:51I want to talk to him about peace.
11:53I want to tell him about his mother.
11:55The white eagle's mother is the moon.
11:57You do not come from the skies.
12:00You bring a false message.
12:02If the white eagle is your great prophet,
12:04he will know the truth.
12:05Let me speak to him.
12:08Son bear right.
12:09Hawkeye come with false tongue.
12:14Many red men die by his long gun.
12:18My long rifle is only for peace.
12:20To hunt game for myself and my friends.
12:22We are at peace.
12:23You are a white man.
12:25Your people are our enemies.
12:27The white eagle's skin is white.
12:29Is he your enemy?
12:30He is prophet.
12:32Sent by many too.
12:34I fished by the river.
12:36Manitou sent me fish.
12:38I hunted in the forest.
12:39Manitou sent me game.
12:41I sat in council with many great chiefs.
12:44Manitou sent us wisdom.
12:47Look at the white eagle.
12:48Is not he a white man?
12:49His flesh was cut.
12:50Would not he bleed?
12:51His eyes were closed.
12:52Would not he be blind?
12:54His heart was still.
12:55Would not he die?
12:56White eagle can never die.
13:01Manitou has made my skin white.
13:03To remind me to hate white men.
13:07But my heart is red.
13:08With love I hold for my people.
13:12Those who follow me will live.
13:14Even on war path.
13:16A story told you by the medicine man.
13:18You are white.
13:19Your mother is white.
13:20She was held a slave by many tribes.
13:22Now she is free.
13:24You lie.
13:26I am Indian.
13:28I am white eagle.
13:29White eagle.
13:31Manitou sent me to Sun Bear to unite tribes.
13:36To drive you and your people into the sea.
13:39Let me bring the white woman here, my brothers.
13:41She will tell you the truth.
13:43We all can live in peace.
13:44White eagle has spoken.
13:47Go, false tongue.
13:49If you and renegade brother are in Ojibwa land,
13:51when sun go down, you die.
14:00Manitou whispers in my ear.
14:03Hawkeye and Chingachgook must be killed.
14:07Manitou's will is mine.
14:13Why we run like sheep?
14:14Well, if white eagle is Mrs. Whale's son,
14:16and we can get him face to face and prove it,
14:18we might put an end to this white prophet story.
14:30Do you hear anything?
14:37Too quiet.
15:00There are many enemies ahead.
15:04And behind us too.
15:07When I give the word, you turn and shoot in back of us.
15:09I'll shoot ahead and we'll break for the river.
15:29Ready?
15:30Now!
15:59Fire!
16:29Fire!
16:30Fire!
16:58We'll never make it. Head for shore.

19:23Fire!
19:24Fire!
19:25Is this man one who stole your slave?
19:33Sure, she was a slave, but I'm sure that she's White Eagle's mother.
19:38Again that lie!
19:40I kill!
19:41We bring him back for stealing woman's slave, not for being in Ojibwe land.
19:46What say Hawkeye now?
19:48I didn't steal her.
19:50Her husband was killed by a white renegade, and her son was sold to a medicine man 18
19:54years ago.
19:55When did White Eagle come to your tribe, and who brought him, if not Sun Bear, the medicine
20:00man?
20:02This evil tongue must be torn out.
20:04Jed?
20:05Jed, baby?
20:06Where...
20:07Where are you?
20:08Jed?
20:09Which of you took my son?
20:10Where is my son?
20:11Which of you took my baby?
20:12Hawkeye, have you found my son?
20:28Look there.
20:32Think hard, Mrs. Wales.
20:34That's White Eagle.
20:35Is he your boy?
20:36I...
20:37I can't remember.
20:38He was so small.
20:46I don't know.
20:48Take that woman away.
20:49Why did Sun Bear fear this woman's tongue?
20:52He brought you White Eagle 18 years ago.
20:55This woman lost her child in those days.
20:57Let her be heard.
20:58Speak.
20:59Jed?
21:00You are Jed.
21:01Don't you remember that little red wagon father made for you?
21:02Don't you remember?
21:03I'm not White Man.
21:04I remember only Sun Bear.
21:05But you are just Jed's age.
21:06You must be Jed.
21:07I only kept alive to find you.
21:08Jed.
21:09Jed.
21:10Jed.
21:11Jed.

21:27Jed.
21:28Jed.
21:29I can't find you.
21:30You are Jed.
21:31You have no chance.
21:32Don't strike.
21:33She has no mind.
21:34Manitou speaks to me.
21:35Kill that man.
21:36And this woman.
21:37Their evil turns White Eagle from us.
21:38Kill them.
21:39And tomorrow we drive out all White Men forever.
21:40Jed.
21:41Jed.
21:42Jed.

21:54Jed.
21:55Jed.
21:56Jed.
21:57Jed.
21:58With one stroke, I can kill Sun Bear. I call on the Ojibwa law. Sun Bear wants my life.
22:05I have his. I ask the right of battle. You know Ojibwa law well, Hawkeye. Release Sun
22:12Bear. Sun Bear, let woman go.
22:41She must die. You are breaking sacred law. You who taught me. My eyes are open.
22:54Hear me. Sun Bear named me White Eagle. But I know I am just a man. I am not a
23:07prophet. Sun Bear hears not words of Manitou, but evil of his heart. The
23:15punishment of Sun Bear I leave to the Ojibwa. It will be just.
23:38Jeff!
23:42Mother always remembers son. Son must sometimes be taught to remember mother.
24:08This is a great land we have here. Many people and many tribes. Manitou smiles
24:13upon this land where all men can live together. It is so. And may all tribes
24:18live in peace. We live in peace.
24:24Join us again at this same time next week for another of James Fenimore Cooper's
24:38gripping tales of the early American frontier. Another exciting adventure of
24:43Hawkeye and his blood brother Chingatku. Last of the Mohicans.
