00:00The immortal pen of James F. Cooper brings you thrilling tales of excitement, blazing

00:15action on the early American frontier, stirring adventures filled with the daring and courage

00:22of Hawkeye, first of the Long Rifles, and his blood brother, Chinguchkuk, last of the

00:30Mohicans.

00:31♪♪♪

01:01Oh, Laura, what is it?

01:17Indians.

01:18Where?

01:19There.

01:20And the bush is creeping towards us.

01:27Oh, Laura, you're imagining things again.

01:33I didn't this time, Sandy.

01:34I saw their head feathers.

01:35I did.

01:36I did.

01:37I thought the Indians around here were friendly.

01:38Friends sometimes turn hostile.

01:39Here.

01:40You take this.

01:41Oh, I know I should have stayed at home.

01:59We'll all be killed and scalped, and me with scarce enough hair on my head as it is.

02:11You see them, George?

02:20Yes.

02:21Oh, my sainted aunt.

02:22Follow me.

02:23There you are.

02:24Wild cattails.

02:25That was what you mistook for feathers.

02:26Come on, let's get back to the horses.

02:27Oh, no, Laura, not Indians again.

02:57When will you stop imagining?

03:04Drop that gun.

03:12What's the meaning of this outrage?

03:14I take it your name is Sandy Lee, ma'am.

03:16It is, but how did you know?

03:18And you're figuring on splitting up your land for a parcel of colonists you're bringing here?

03:21What if I am?

03:23You ain't gonna do it, ma'am.

03:24Well, of all the brazen effrontery.

03:26And who are you to tell me what I can or can't do with my holdings?

03:29Tim Grogan's the name.

03:31And it's not only me that's telling you it.

03:33Every one of us trappers here.

03:34Well, even wilderness trappers should have better manners than to speak to a lady in that fashion.

03:37And keep your mouth shut, young'un.

03:39We're the ones that settled this country at the risk of our lives.

03:41Tamed the wild redskin.

03:43And we're not gonna be pushed out by anybody.

03:45Whether you trappers leave or not is entirely your own affair.

03:49But this is my land.

03:51Through Pat and Grant from the crown to my late father.

03:53And I'll do with it as I please.

03:56Grant or no Grant.

03:58You and the others are heading back where you come from.

04:00I won't have you speaking to Mistress Lee that way, Grogan.

04:07That won't be necessary, Grogan.

04:13It seems to me you're being uncommon high-handed.

04:15Ordering an owner off her land.

04:17It's just as much our land.

04:19You're mad.

04:20We trappers fought to make it safe.

04:22Our dead are buried here.

04:24And no scrap of paper's gonna take it away from us.

04:26As squatters, it was never yours to lose.

04:29I think you'd better get your men and clear out of here.

04:36Stop!

04:37Fair fight.

04:38Stop there.

04:47No!

05:18Don't touch!

05:43I don't think you'll be interested in hanging around here all day.

05:46Take him with you.

05:57We owe you our deepest thanks, sir.

05:59You owe us nothing, ma'am.

06:00Glad we could be of service to you.

06:04What on earth is the matter with you now?

06:07That Indian.

06:08He keeps looking at me.

06:09He wants the scalp.

06:11Oh, stop it, you silly goose.

06:12Stop it.

06:13My companion, she's very frightened of Indians.

06:16Why, she has nothing to fear from Chingachgook.

06:19Chingachgook?

06:20Isn't that the name of the last chief of the Mohicans?

06:23It's a privilege to know you.

06:27And you, sir.

06:29My name is George Washington.

06:31Folks around here call me Hawkeye.

06:33This is Mistress Sandra Lee and her companion,

06:35Mistress Laura Dodson.

06:37Howdy, ma'am.

06:38It's a pleasure, ma'am.

06:39If you don't mind my asking,

06:41what's a party like yours doing out here alone,

06:43even if you do own the land?

06:44Well, I'm surveying the property for Mistress Lee,

06:46getting ready to open up the homesteads

06:48for the colonists still coming in.

06:49In time's short, Mr. Hawkeye.

06:51The first group are arriving in a very few days.

06:53Time's stopped, if white trapper go on warpath.

06:56Are we really in any danger?

06:58You saw, ma'am, those trappers are in an ugly mood.

07:01Well, they shan't frighten me.

07:03I came here to partition my land, and I will.

07:06White squaw speak brave words.

07:09But wise fox seek shelter if storm break.

07:12He's right, Sandy.

07:14You and Laura can't stay out here in the wilderness unprotected.

07:16I take Mr. Washington's advice, Mistress Lee.

07:19There's a settlement not far from here, Carrytown.

07:21A good idea.

07:23I can complete the survey while you and Laura rest at Carrytown.

08:09Well?

08:11Grogan and his men are coming back into town.

08:13Be interesting to hear what they have to report.

08:16Slick as a whistle the way you got Grogan all steamed up

08:19against that Lee female,

08:21saying she'd force him and the other trappers to clear out.

08:24There's nothing like having a cat's paw

08:27to pull your chestnuts out of the fire, Chris.

09:02Something go wrong, Grogan?

09:04Hawkeye. Just popped right out of the woods.

09:06Him and that Indian partner of his.

09:08I'm a little surprised at you, Grogan.

09:10I thought you trappers had stronger metal than that.

09:13Of course, if you want the settlers moving in

09:15and taking over your trapping territory...

09:17No, you know we don't want that, Mr. Brent.

09:19And we'll go to shoot him if we have to.

09:21But you're afraid of Hawkeye, is that it?

09:23Not of him. Or of no man.

09:31Grogan, you know my loyalty is on the trapper's side.

09:34And I'm going to help you.

09:36Now, just don't look around and play up

09:38no matter what I say or do.

09:41Well, I ought to have you horsewhipped, Grogan.

09:43Now, clear out of my settlement

09:45before I have you and the other trappers thrown into the locker.

09:47Now, look, here, Mr. Brent, you can't talk to me like that.

09:49I can and I will. And another thing, make any more trouble

09:52and I'll see you trappers starve before I buy any furs.

10:01Mr. Brent?

10:02My deepest thanks, sir, for what you just said.

10:04I'm Sandy Lee.

10:06Your servant, ma'am.

10:08And my regrets that I was unable to help.

10:10I only learnt now what those stupid fools tried to do.

10:13Rest assured, however, it won't happen again.

10:16You're very kind, sir.

10:17Not at all. There's room for everybody in this new land.

10:20And I'd deem it an honour, ma'am,

10:22if you'd accept my help in settling your colonists.

10:24Well, thanks, Mr. Brent.

10:26Just looking ahead to the future.

10:28You'll headquarter here, of course, at the inn.

10:30Allow me to be your escort, ma'am.

10:32Oh, you'll be joining us here, won't you?

10:34Never could get used to resting my head on linen at night, ma'am.

10:37But Chingachgook and I'll be around if you need us.

10:40Well, thank you again for everything.

11:03Well, I'll tell you to Hawkeye and Chingachgook.

11:05I'll be here.

11:06Oh, Tarble, Toby, Tarble.

11:08I hope you don't mind us talking while I keep on working.

11:10I promised I'd have this rifle fixed tonight for...

11:13No, I don't mind at all.

11:16What can you tell me about Calhoun Brent?

11:19Brent?

11:21Well, now, he practically owns the settlement.

11:25Lays down the laws.

11:27Has his own lock-up.

11:29And gives orders to the trappers, too.

11:31Nice gun, this.

11:33Come on, Toby, loosen up.

11:36Well, look at that, Mistress Lee.

11:38Nice gal.

11:39You speak with slippery tongue.

11:41You afraid of Brent?

11:43Me?

11:44You bet.

11:46That's why I ain't saying a word about me hearing the...

11:50Got Grogan and the trappers all riled up over something last night.

11:54Not a word.

11:56Mm-mm.

11:58Also, I ain't saying nothing about him declaring that once colonists moved in here,

12:04the trappers would have to move out.

12:08Nope.

12:09I'm keeping my mouth shut.

12:11Well, sorry you couldn't give us any information, Toby.

12:15Me, too.

12:16See ya.

12:17Yep.

12:18See ya.

12:29Where have you been?

12:33I've been checking up on Hawkeye.

12:35I don't think you fooled him one bit by play-acting with Grogan.

12:38Oh, why's that?

12:39He's been strolling around the settlement asking questions.

12:42About what?

12:43You and the trappers.

12:44Uh-huh.

12:45Is that all you've got to say?

12:47A bullet will do all the talking, if need be.

12:50I didn't build up this fur-trading empire to have it ruined by settlers.

12:53You want me to make certain by taking care of that Lee?

12:56I don't think that'll be necessary.

12:58I might persuade her to join me here when the Crown revokes her land settlement grant.

13:03Huh?

13:04She tells me that the land has to be colonized before this winter.

13:07Failure to do so means loss of the land.

13:10Then all we gotta do is send them colonists back to where they came from before they reach here.

13:20A runner just brought in word, Mr. Brent.

13:22A runner just brought in word, Mr. Brent.

13:24The first two wagons of settlers are going to reach the territory before nightfall.

13:27Does the town know about this?

13:29No, he was one of our men.

13:30He came straight to me.

13:31Good.

13:32Tell him to keep his mouth shut.

13:34Where are you going?

13:36Why, I thought I'd escort Mistress Lee and her companions out for a ride.

13:39I think it's time they got to know some of the country around here.

13:42But what about those settlers?

13:44Oh, those?

13:45I thought I'd leave that up to your judgment, Grogan.

13:47Yours and Chris's.

13:48All I ask is that they don't stay in the territory alive.

13:53The End

14:02You think Brent's behind all this?

14:04Everything we've learned points that way.

14:06But why?

14:07Well, he's got all the business from all the trappers in this whole territory.

14:10He's getting rich on it.

14:12A new settlement would put a stop to that.

14:14Well, what we do about Brent?

14:16First thing we'd better do is tell Washington and the ladies what we've learned.

14:20As long as he doesn't pull the wool over their eyes, we've still got a chance.

14:25You amaze me, Miss Lee.

14:27I do? How so?

14:29That a girl of your breeding and quality should concern herself with colonization.

14:33Oh, it was my father's dream.

14:35A dream he willed to me along with his patent grant.

14:38Just think of it.

14:40All this beautiful, fertile land will soon provide farms for simple people

14:45who ask nothing more than soil to till and the right to worship as they please.

14:50And Providence willing, they'll find a haven here.

15:09Must have been attacked by some Indians somewhere.

15:11We'd better head back to the settlement.

15:16Come on.

15:22Well, them settlers won't be back in a hurry.

15:24Watch him.

15:43Watch him.

15:54Watch him.

16:24Watch him.

16:49Before we came, you said the engines here were peaceful, ma'am.

16:52They are. I...

16:54Them heirs say different.

16:56We want no part of them.

16:58We're heading back.

17:00But you can't. Think what it'll do to the other colonists.

17:03Well, they'll turn back, too. That's for certain.

17:06Oh, but please.

17:08We're beholden to you, ma'am, for trying to help us,

17:11but there ain't no amount of land worth getting scalped for.

17:14We'd better be heading back, Miss Lee.

17:22Come on.

17:43Hawkeye, I thought you were back at the settlement.

17:46When we learned that you'd come out here, we figured to join you.

17:49That's lucky we did.

17:51These are the Indians that scared off your colonists.

17:54So you're in this, too, eh, Chris?

17:56Who put you up to it? Those trappers?

17:59That wasn't necessary, Brent. Why does it have to be the trappers?

18:02Isn't it obvious they're to blame?

18:05Maybe Chris has something to say about that.

18:13Well, I'm going to jail anyway.

18:15All right.

18:17It was Tim Grogan and the trappers.

18:22The End

18:39What? Hawkeye.

18:41Glad you joined me. Care for some refreshment of some kind?

18:44Oh, no thanks, Brent. Just wondered how you made out with Grogan and the trappers.

18:47They're in the jailhouse, quiet and peaceful, waiting trial.

18:50Kind of like lockin' the barn door after the horse is stolen, though.

18:53Oh, why's that?

18:55Well, those colonists that Miss Lee needs to settle the territory,

18:58I don't imagine they'll be too eager to return now.

19:01She doesn't have to worry about that anymore.

19:04Oh, why's that?

19:06Why, haven't you heard the news? There's two more wagon loads of them on the way.

19:09Is that so?

19:11That's what I heard. With Grogan and the others in jail, they won't run into any trouble.

19:15Oh, that's wonderful. I'm delighted to hear it.

19:19I think I'll go right over now and congratulate Miss Lee.

19:22Yeah, I knew you'd be glad to hear about it, Brent.

19:35I ought to kill you for this. Dry up.

19:38It was either you or Brent. I had to get Hawkeye off his trail.

19:42I hadn't figured on nothing like this.

19:44Me and the other trappers figured Brent was our friend.

19:47Now he's turned in against us.

19:49You're a smart one, you are. He was never with you.

19:53Brent looks after himself. And real good, too.

19:59There's work to be done, lads.

20:04What now?

20:05More colonists coming. They didn't learn their lesson the first time.

20:08This time I want them wiped out, everyone.

20:10That ain't for me. I don't hold with murder.

20:12Not for all the furs in the country.

20:14You'll hold still for more than you know, Groban.

20:24Ammunition and horses are outside.

20:26Take him with you. I want him left at the wagons as proof who was behind the massacre.

20:44I'll be back.

21:07Did everything work out as we planned?

21:09Better. Brent's going to lead the party himself.

21:11Let's show pale face who tried to kill them.

21:13It'll be all the proof any court of law will need.

21:15What about that settler Turner and his wagons?

21:18Me take care.

21:19Good. Let's not keep him waiting.

21:41Let's go.

22:11That's far enough. Let's drop him here.

22:41It's a trap!

23:02All right, Brent.

23:12Well, almost finished here now.

23:14The rest of your colonials can start moving in any day now, Sandy.

23:17Good. And there's nothing I like more than for you and Chingach Coop to be the first to homestead.

23:22Well, thanks for asking us, ma'am.

23:24But we'll leave the settling down to others.

23:26We'd better be moving on.

23:27Oh, I'm sorry. I'll miss you.

23:29I will too. I hope our paths will cross again.

23:32We'll be hearing of each other again, George.

23:34It's been a pleasure, ma'am.

23:36I'll never forget you, Hawkeye.

23:38Goodbye.

23:42I just wanted to thank you.

23:55What's the matter?

24:00Hawkeye.

24:03Maybe someday I take Squaw.

24:07Come on.

24:41Last of the Mohicans.
