00:00:38THE END
00:01:11THE END
00:01:30A small guarded fort protecting a handful of white settlers.
00:01:34THE END
00:01:53Fort Detroit was surrounded by many Indian tribes.
00:01:56The most prominent of these was the Ottawa's, a proud people who in the period from 1753
00:02:03to 1769 was ruled over by Chief Pontiac.
00:02:09Pontiac was a great warrior, a man of faith, who believed the Indian and white man could
00:02:15live together.
00:02:16The English who controlled this territory hired professional German soldiers known as Hessians
00:02:22to help patrol the area.
00:02:25One of the Hessian officers, a Colonel von Weber, did not share Pontiac's point of view.
00:02:30He was ambitious, ruthless, and greedy for power.
00:02:54As you predicted, sir, the attack did come as a complete surprise.
00:02:58These Indians are fools and stupid.
00:03:01What about the prisoners, sir?
00:03:04There ought to be no prisoners.
00:03:05These are dangerous animals.
00:03:07But what about the women and children, sir?
00:03:09I said no prisoners.
00:03:11I meant no prisoners.
00:03:12Relay that as an order.
00:03:13Yes, sir.
00:03:15And set the village on fire!
00:03:17I'm not lying to you now.
00:03:43I said no prisoners.
00:03:45Kind of 쉬es, iron fell over with an overturned boy.
00:03:45Yes, sir.
00:03:46What about the man escape.
00:03:47Do you believe in the earthquake?
00:03:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:17My brothers, these are dangerous times.
00:04:22There is blood upon our land.
00:04:25I have hoped for peace.
00:04:27I have prayed for peace.
00:04:30I have even signed treaties that say we can live in peace.
00:04:35Their treaties are words that lie.
00:04:37When a white man wants more land, they break their treaties.
00:04:41We want war.
00:04:44Yes, but some of the white people are our friends.
00:04:48The French are our friends.
00:04:50The Redcoats our enemies.
00:04:52They have killed our women and children, and we want war.
00:04:59The Great Spirit has shown me what is to come.
00:05:04Now that the moon is thin and new, return to your villages.
00:05:10Prepare well.
00:05:13For when the moon is full, rise and strife.
00:05:38Ah, Colonel von Faber, your tactics are proving most successful.
00:05:41After replenishing supplies, you will advance by Lake and River to Fort Detroit.
00:05:46Very good, sir.
00:05:47Once we have eliminated all the natives in that territory, you will have control over the entire Great Lakes region.
00:05:53A most difficult mission, von Faber, but we have the utmost confidence in you.
00:05:58Thank you, sir.
00:05:59Hey, Lieutenant Kent McIntyre to see you, sir.
00:06:02The Ranger?
00:06:02Yes, sir.
00:06:03Says it's a matter of greatest importance.
00:06:05Send him in for excuses.
00:06:07Mr. Schoenberg.
00:06:09Weren't you ordered a buffalo?
00:06:11Yes, sir, but I encountered a most serious situation.
00:06:14Yes, sir.
00:06:15May I speak frankly, sir?
00:06:16By all means, come to the point.
00:06:18Well, sir, the point is, someone must order this Colonel von Weber to stop his butchering.
00:06:24Colonel has had your report at first hand.
00:06:27Colonel von Weber, Lieutenant Kent McIntyre.
00:06:31You are satisfied with my results, sir?
00:06:33Most satisfied.
00:06:34However, these Rangers have lived among the Indians for years, and we regard them highly.
00:06:39I, too, understand the value of these Rangers.
00:06:43But, with your permission, sir, I shall continue to use my abominable tactics at my own discretion.
00:06:49By all means, pray be seated.
00:06:51Thank you, sir.
00:06:53Now, uh, at Fort Detroit.
00:06:57Am I to place my troops under Major Gladwin's command?
00:07:00Well, that's customary of the garrisons established or the reinforcements.
00:07:03Yes, sir, but there's a question of rank.
00:07:05Uh, Gladwin's in mind.
00:07:07Oh, sure, you and Gladwin will hate it all.
00:07:09Naturally, in a crisis, you as a superior would assume command.
00:07:13Thank you, sir.
00:07:14Sir, Major Gladwin is respected by the Indians.
00:07:18You shall see, McIntyre.
00:07:20After another skirmish or two, there will be plenty of respect for von Weber.
00:07:24Respect, Colonel?
00:07:26Never.
00:07:27You're already hated.
00:07:29The methods are regarded with contempt.
00:07:32Do you presume to criticize my methods?
00:07:35Yes, sir.
00:07:36War is war.
00:07:37But there have always been some rules that have been respected by both sides.
00:07:40Enough, gentlemen.
00:07:41Our goal is clearly defined.
00:07:43How we attain it is unimportant.
00:07:46I came back here to warn you, sir, that thanks to this Colonel von Weber, the woods are full of
00:07:52angry whispers.
00:07:54Chief Pontiac believes in an eye for an eye.
00:07:57This means our women and children will not be spared.
00:08:02Pontiac is the devil in war paint, sir.
00:08:04A treacherous beast with the brains of a fox and the fangs of a wolf.
00:08:07Chief Pontiac is honest and generous with those he trusts.
00:08:12He believes this country is big enough for Indians and whites to live side by side in peace.
00:08:18So do I.
00:08:20Sentiment such as yours is naive, Mr. Mankin.
00:08:24However, as you have an excellent reputation, I have an assignment worthy of you.
00:08:28You're aware I have previous orders, sir?
00:08:29They are countermanded.
00:08:30Now, you will proceed as soon as possible to Fort Detroit.
00:08:33You will deliver certain dispatches to Major Gladwin and inform him that reinforcements are on the way.
00:08:38If attacked, he is to hold the fort at all costs.
00:08:44Very good, sir.
00:09:09Good, sir.
00:09:11All kinds ofScotters.
00:09:37Mia!
00:09:38What the niya chun kakka niya what the niya chun kakka

00:11:18THE END
00:11:48THE END
00:11:48Can't you understand? We must have water.
00:11:51Monique, who, Paul?
00:12:06Do you want to starve us? We must have food.
00:12:10Can't you leave us alone for a while?
00:12:12Well, there's no place where we can run.
00:12:17Shechupo, auntie.
00:12:18Shechupo, auntie.
00:12:25Shechupo, auntie.

00:13:18¶¶
00:13:22¶¶
00:13:27Don't look around.
00:13:30How long have you been a captain?
00:13:32Three days.
00:13:34Where are they taking you?
00:13:35I don't know.
00:13:38Where were you captured?
00:13:39Fort Sandusky.
00:13:42Many prisoners?
00:13:44Us.
00:13:45Any men?
00:13:46Not that I know of.
00:13:48I saw them kill my father.
00:13:51Can you rescue us?
00:13:53I'm alone.
00:13:55Do you have a gun?
00:13:57They have many guns.
00:13:59Coward.
00:14:01Are you married?
00:14:02Do you think I'm in the mood for a proposal?
00:14:05I'm not proposing.
00:14:07I'm only trying to help.
00:14:09Here, take this.
00:14:11Why?
00:14:12Indians respect marriage.
00:14:14What's your name?
00:14:16Winifred Lancaster.
00:14:18Related to Sir John?
00:14:19My father.
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:28Stay away.
00:14:29Stay away.
00:14:31Come.
00:14:32Eat now.
00:14:32Come on.
00:15:06White dog, drop gun.
00:15:11I am a friend of Ottawa people.
00:15:15Pontiac, white dog lies.
00:15:22Here is proof.
00:15:24Take me to Pontiac.
00:15:26You my prisoner.
00:15:28Go!
00:15:32You my prisoner.
00:15:35You my prisoner.
00:15:36You my prisoner.
00:15:37You my prisoner.
00:15:38Let's go.
00:15:39Let's go.
00:15:40Let's go.
00:15:40Let's go.
00:16:07Let's go.
00:16:08Let's go.
00:16:38Welcome, my white brother.
00:16:40Do you come to speak or to listen?
00:16:43I have words for Chief Pontiac.
00:16:45Alone.
00:16:47This, my brother, is as my son.
00:16:50I have not heard his voice and counsel for many moons.
00:16:54We will speak along.
00:16:55Great chief, I do not trust this white man.
00:17:08Do you come from the fort?
00:17:10I have come on a long journey from the east.
00:17:13Do you bring word of war or peace?
00:17:15I have come to counsel peace.
00:17:17My white brother has never spoken with a double tongue.
00:17:21I will listen.
00:17:23The war hatchet is buried between us.
00:17:31Will my brother answer a question with the truth?
00:17:34Chief Pontiac lies only to his enemies, not to his friends.
00:17:38Do you expect help from the French in this war?
00:17:41They have promised help, but it has not come.
00:17:44It will never come, my brother.
00:17:47The French and the English are at peace.
00:17:49At peace?
00:17:50They have signed treaties and sworn brotherhood.
00:17:53I have seen these treaties.
00:17:54This is grave news, my brother.
00:17:57I have still graver news.
00:17:59Many soldiers are coming by ship to reinforce the garrison at Fort Detroit.
00:18:04This ship is strong.
00:18:06The war canoes could do nothing against it.
00:18:08We do not fear the redcoats.
00:18:11My braves have held Fort Detroit under siege for one full moon past.
00:18:16Nevertheless, my brother, it would be wise to consider
00:18:20their numbers are endless as the sands of the great water.
00:18:24If these armies fail, others and still greater ones will follow.
00:18:29Yes, they will come.
00:18:31My brother once said that the Indian and the white man can live side by side.
00:18:36That is my hope.
00:18:39But the white man must show that he has peace in his heart.
00:18:43He must prove this to us.
00:18:45Until then, there will be war.
00:18:47Now, friend Pontiac, may I tell Major Gladwin that you will talk terms with him?
00:18:53He is a man with peace in his heart.
00:18:58My brother, go to the fort.
00:19:00Speak with your great white chief, Major Gladwin.
00:19:03If it is right, I will come there with my war chiefs to make a treaty.
00:19:10And the evil birds will fly no more.
00:19:14And peace will come to this land.
00:19:17Until then, my braves will hold siege on the fort, but will not attack again unless this peace talk fails.
00:19:27That is the agreement that I will make.
00:19:35A white captive held as hostage.
00:19:37Sounds like she's being mistreated.
00:19:39She is being courted by one of the braves.
00:19:43And she is in trouble.
00:19:45The braves obey my laws when they're in my village.
00:19:47She will become his squaw only if she agrees.
00:19:53May I see this woman?
00:19:56Cheer.
00:20:00Bring white woman.
00:20:06Woman be here soon.
00:20:09Pull!
00:20:10Hot bell, big Indian chief.
00:20:18Huckbill killed many white men.
00:20:25Pull!
00:20:29Huckbill, many skilled.
00:20:37Huckbill killed many, many white men.
00:20:46Huckbill, a good husband for a white squaw.
00:21:05You come with me now.
00:21:10I'll see you all hang for this.
00:21:12My woman.
00:21:15White man lies.
00:21:16Me want woman.
00:21:17Take.
00:21:19My white brother does not speak with a double tongue.
00:21:23Here's proof.
00:21:24She wears the matching circle to my ring.
00:21:30My white brother does not lie.
00:21:38By the word of Pontiac,
00:21:40this is your woman.
00:21:42This is your woman.
00:21:43So long as she remains with the Indian people,
00:21:46your footsteps will follow in his trail.
00:21:50And may the fires of devotion burn bright in your heart
00:21:54for this,
00:21:56my white brother.
00:22:01May evil follow you.
00:22:03Huckbill,
00:22:05go in peace.
00:22:06This woman has been returned to her own man.
00:22:10She will live with us
00:22:11as one of my family.
00:22:19Squaw,
00:22:20follow me.
00:22:21Head down.
00:22:22What?
00:22:23As you're told,
00:22:25two paces behind.
00:22:26Quickly.
00:22:32Squaw make fire.
00:22:34Cook food.
00:22:35I will not.
00:22:36As you're told,
00:22:37quickly.
00:22:38Be awake.
00:22:43Use Chia's teepee for bride's tent.
00:22:47Bride?
00:22:49Would you rather have Hawkebill?
00:22:55Shh.
00:23:06When we get back to civilization,
00:23:08I'll repay you for this.
00:23:10You ought to stay mad all the time.
00:23:13It's very becoming.
00:23:14I ought to throw this in your face.
00:23:16Go ahead.
00:23:17Only if the squaw happens to see you,
00:23:19I have to beat you.
00:23:22It's an old Indian custom.
00:23:23You wouldn't dare.
00:23:25I'd have to.
00:23:26Otherwise,
00:23:27they'd call me Squaw Man.
00:23:29I'm no Squaw Man.
00:23:30Sooner or later,
00:23:31I'll have you court-martialed and shot.
00:23:36Not eat yet?
00:23:38Squaw can cook,
00:23:39but slow.
00:23:40Need more fears for marriage, Bed?
00:23:42No, thanks, Chia.
00:23:44Nice, soft bed.
00:23:45Nice, soft squaw.
00:23:47See, you ain't it.
00:23:51Well, little bride,
00:23:56I'm sleeping.
00:23:58I'm glad.
00:23:59I'll feel better in the morning.
00:24:01You're not sleeping in here.
00:24:04We'll talk about it at breakfast, huh?
00:24:08You're not sleeping in here.
00:24:25Now,
00:24:26will you be a good little bride
00:24:27and do as you're told?
00:24:28I am not your bride,
00:24:29and I don't take orders.
00:24:31You're my bride
00:24:32as long as you're in Indian territory,
00:24:34and you learn to take orders.
00:24:35Well, not from you.
00:24:36Well, from somebody else, then.
00:24:38I'm leaving.
00:24:41I'm going to Fort Detroit.
00:24:45Please take me with you.
00:24:47I can't.
00:24:48You're still Pontiac's hostage.
00:24:50He can exchange you for some Indian braves.
00:24:52Mean I have to stay here alone?
00:24:55You won't be alone,
00:24:56and you'll be safe.
00:24:57But I want to go,
00:24:58even if it is with you.
00:25:00Well, thanks,
00:25:01but you're staying.
00:25:02Oh, you're horrible.
00:25:03You're right.
00:25:11Chia?
00:25:15Take care of her while I'm gone.
00:25:17Chia, take care.
00:25:19She like you better when you come back.
00:25:37Hey, see him.
00:25:40If it's a Rodan Indian,
00:25:42it's my shot.
00:25:43That's a white man.
00:25:45A scout.
00:25:47Open the gate.
00:25:55Where's the Regulars?
00:25:57Where's the Regulars?
00:25:58Where are you from?
00:25:58Any word at the Rangers?
00:26:00Where's the Regulars?
00:26:01Where's the release coming?
00:26:05Ranger McIntyre reporting to Major Gladwell.
00:26:07Glad you got through.
00:26:08However did you do it?
00:26:09We're under siege here.
00:26:11All quiet for the moment, isn't it?
00:26:13Thanks to me and my brother Pontiac.
00:26:15Brother?
00:26:16This way, sir.
00:26:19Major, how are you?
00:26:20Well, McIntyre, how nice to see you.
00:26:23General Amherst asked me to tell you
00:26:24that reinforcements are on the way.
00:26:26Oh, at last.
00:26:27On the command of Colonel Von Weber.
00:26:29Von Weber?
00:26:30Oh, no.
00:26:32May you know him, sir?
00:26:33Unfortunately, yes.
00:26:34I understand.
00:26:36Mercenaries who fight for money
00:26:37instead of principal.
00:26:38That's more than that.
00:26:39Von Weber,
00:26:40ever since he was captured
00:26:41and tortured by the Arapahos,
00:26:43has been like a madman.
00:26:45His personal vengeance
00:26:46has shamed the army.
00:26:48However,
00:26:49did you have much trouble getting here?
00:26:51No, sir,
00:26:52thanks to my friend Pontiac.
00:26:54You're a friend of Pontiac's?
00:26:56Practically a member of his family, sir.
00:26:58He calls me his little white brother.
00:27:00Now he's willing to come to the fort
00:27:02to discuss terms for peace.
00:27:04Do you mean to say that Pontiac...
00:27:06It's all very unofficial, sir.
00:27:08I hadn't the authority.
00:27:10I hope he won't give me away.
00:27:11Give you away, my dear McIntyre?
00:27:14Well, if there's any question,
00:27:15I'll say that I authorized you.
00:27:16Then you'll talk with him.
00:27:17Talk with him?
00:27:18I'll roll out the red carpet.
00:27:20But are you sure that this isn't a trick?
00:27:23Remember, he's a wily old fox.
00:27:24Sure he is.
00:27:26He'll lie and cheat
00:27:27and fox an enemy.
00:27:29But he'll be honest with me, sir.
00:27:30Because I'm his friend.
00:27:32You can count on that.
00:27:34Oh, what a stroke of providence.
00:27:36My garrison besieged.
00:27:37Almost out of rations.
00:27:39Ten men down with smallpox.
00:27:40Smallpox?
00:27:41Yes, we had a minor plague.
00:27:42Sixteen dead.
00:27:43But the doctor feels
00:27:44that he has it under control now.
00:27:46The news you bring
00:27:47more than all sets
00:27:48what we've been through.
00:27:49Do you know, McIntyre,
00:27:50how we can make history
00:27:51here in the next few days
00:27:52if we can just find
00:27:53the right formula for peace?
00:27:55Do you know what it is?
00:27:58No, sir.
00:27:58I wish I did.
00:28:00So do I.
00:28:02No, this is the time
00:28:03for men to get down
00:28:04upon their knees
00:28:05and pray for guidance.
00:28:07Harniak is praying
00:28:08for guidance too, sir.
00:28:12I guess it's all up
00:28:13to the great spirit now.
00:28:34Are you trying to cook me?
00:28:36Sweathouse good.
00:28:37I had a bath.
00:28:39Bath.
00:28:41Lake.
00:28:41Water.
00:28:42Me clean.
00:28:43Sweathouse good for new squaw.
00:28:45Make ready for marriage night.
00:28:47White chief say,
00:28:49take care, little white squaw.
00:28:50I take.
00:28:51Oh, Mr. McIntyre
00:28:52ordered this, did he?
00:28:54In England,
00:28:55they treat lobsters like this.
00:28:56Lobsters?
00:28:58Oh, of course,
00:28:59you wouldn't know
00:28:59what a lobster is.
00:29:01Lobster is a...
00:29:02a fish you eat.
00:29:04Fish.
00:29:05I eat.
00:29:07Oh!
00:29:13Here are you.
00:29:16White skin.
00:29:18Don't think big magic.
00:29:20That's it.
00:29:22Mr. McIntyre must think
00:29:23red skin is big magic too.
00:29:26Over.
00:29:35White chief,
00:29:37see new squaw.
00:29:38Fix.
00:29:39Happy.
00:29:40Do you have a mirror?
00:29:41Mirror?
00:29:42A mirror.
00:29:43Look.
00:29:44See self and water.
00:29:47White chief not come back.
00:29:48Why?
00:29:50Old squaw him maybe forget.
00:29:53New squaw him never forget.
00:29:55You pretty.
00:29:56Thank you, Lightfoot.
00:29:57You pretty, pretty, pretty.
00:30:00Oh, I like you too.
00:30:02Go, squaw me.
00:30:03Go.
00:30:03Yeah, yeah.
00:30:07Wear every day.
00:30:12Wear marriage night.
00:30:14Heap magic.
00:30:15I like your magic.
00:30:18Big magic.
00:30:20Many pappos.
00:30:21Six, nine, ten.
00:30:22Is this your idea or Mr. McIntyre's?
00:30:29There are only few men in fort.
00:30:32We kill some.
00:30:34Soon, others starve.
00:30:36We want war.
00:30:42A great ship is coming with food and many soldiers.
00:30:47The French leaders say the great white father will send army to help Indian tribe.
00:30:52This is a lie.
00:30:55The French canoes are gone from the lakes.
00:30:58Their army has sailed across the great waters.
00:31:00My white brother has read their treaties.
00:31:05Maybe white brother lie.
00:31:08My white brother does not lie.
00:31:11White chief of the fort.
00:31:13Peace.
00:31:30Then, Major Gladwin will talk with me.
00:31:33He will talk.
00:31:36This is good.
00:31:37Maybe this is trick.
00:31:40Maybe white man is spy.
00:31:42Don't try so hard, Hawk Doe.
00:31:44If we go to fort, they take us prisoners and put us in jail.
00:31:49White chief at the fort is a fine man.
00:31:51He does not want war.
00:31:53He wants to live in peace.
00:31:55As brothers.
00:31:57That is the way men should do.
00:32:00We will go to the fort.
00:32:02If your white chief has peace in his heart, I will know.
00:32:06And then, we will end war.
00:32:20Maybe peace with big white chief, but no peace with you and me.
00:32:26You can have many squaws, Hawk Doe.
00:32:28So a white squaw first.
00:32:30With you and me, always war.
00:32:34All right, then.
00:32:35If you want it that way.
00:32:42May the bridegroom come in?
00:32:43You come.
00:32:48You're lovely.
00:32:49She little white swan.
00:32:51All ready for marriage night.
00:32:53Thanks, Gia.
00:32:54For your information and pleasure, I have been steamed.
00:32:58Well, I wish I'd been around to watch.
00:33:00The day I find you in an English fort, I'll see to it the steaming's returned.
00:33:04To lobster color.
00:33:05Believe me, I will watch.
00:33:07Out, Gia.
00:33:08The bride and groom are about to quarrel.
00:33:09Gia, please stay.
00:33:10Out.
00:33:11I go.
00:33:13I stay.
00:33:14You squaw men for sure.
00:33:16Eey.
00:33:16Eey.
00:33:21Eey.
00:33:21Isn't the little white swan glad to see me back?
00:33:23The other prisoners have been exchanged.
00:33:26I know.
00:33:26I helped derange for that.
00:33:28Why wasn't I?
00:33:29Before our honeymoon?
00:33:30Mm-hmm.
00:33:39She says a messenger has just arrived from the Braves around the fort.
00:33:42Let's see what he has to say.
00:33:44Squash stayed behind.
00:34:02The schooner has arrived from the fort, the reinforcements.
00:34:05Oh, the army, that's wonderful.
00:34:07I'm not so sure.
00:34:08Good old English regulars, bless them.
00:34:10They're not English regulars.
00:34:11They're Hessians.
00:34:12They couldn't have come at a worse time.
00:34:14You must get right to the fort and tell them how many Indians are here and whether we're...
00:34:17You ruin everything we've tried to do?
00:34:19What side are you on, anyway?
00:34:21I'm for peace.
00:34:22Peace?
00:34:23You turncoat renegade.
00:34:25Can't you get this through your head?
00:34:27If the peace plans work, we can walk out of here.
00:34:30And I don't care where you go.
00:34:32And if they don't, and this village is attacked, all white prisoners will be killed.
00:34:38This includes you.
00:34:44It's reinforcements!
00:34:47I'm for peace.
00:34:47I'm for peace.
00:35:11THE END
00:35:31THE END
00:36:08THE END
00:36:08CONGRATULATIONS FOR HOLDING ON, MAJOR
00:36:10WELL, WE WERE SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL FOR SUPPLIES, SIR
00:36:13THE SCHOOL IS LOADED ABOVE THE BLIMSEL
00:36:14DRY RATIONS AND, OF COURSE, BARRELED MEAT AND PLENTY OF AMMUNITION
00:36:18WELL, THERE MAY NOT BE ANY MORE FIGHTING. I'VE ARRANGED TO DISCUSS A PEACE TREATY WITH PONTIAC
00:36:22TREATY, SIR?
00:36:23YES, THEY HAVEN'T FIRED A SHOT AT US IN DAYS. THE INDIANS HAVE HELD US TO A SIEGE.
00:36:28YOU WILL PLEASE TO READ THE ORDERS, MAJOR
00:36:33ONE DOES NOT TREAT WITH WILD BEASTS. ONE DESTROYS THEM.
00:36:44GENERAL LAMMURST INSTRUCTS ME TO TURN OVER MY COMMAND TO YOU, SIR.
00:36:49THIS IS MOST UNUSUAL.
00:36:51I'VE GOT A TROOP OF MEN A FOOT, AN ARMED CREW ABOARD THE SCHOONER, AND I INTEND TO USE
00:36:57THEM.
00:36:58WELL, RESPECTING YOUR RANK, SIR, THE LEADER OF THE INDIANS, CHIEF PONTIAC, HAS BEEN LED TO EXPECT A PEACE CONFERENCE
00:37:04HERE.
00:37:05OH? AND HOW DOES ONE CONFER WITH A SAVAGE?
00:37:11TO HIS PEOPLE, PONTIAC IS A GREAT GENERAL, SIR.
00:37:15HE IS, IN FACT, A BRILLIANT STRATEGIST, A MAN OF STATURE AND GREAT DIGNITY.
00:37:19BUT MORE IMPORTANT, HE IS THE SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS LEADER OF MANY TRIBES, SIR.
00:37:25OH, A RED-SKINNED MESSIAH.
00:37:27OH, GLAD WITH MY MAN. THIS SEAT HAS SOFTENED YOU.
00:37:34I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO DEAL WITH WILD PIGS.
00:37:37I'M SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT IT, SIR.
00:37:39FOR YOUR INFORMATION, MAJOR, AS SOON AS MY MEN ARRESTED, WHETHER YOUR PEACE CONFERENCE HAS MATURED OR NOT, I AM
00:37:45MOVING AGAINST THE ENEMY.
00:37:46WELL, I'D SUGGEST WE CONSOLIDATE AND HOLD THE FORT.
00:37:49WE ARE SURROUNDED BY 2,000 PIG BRAVES, SIR.
00:37:52YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM ATTACK MY SCHOONER AND CANNON WHEN I CAME IN, DID YOU?
00:37:56I EXPLAINED THERE WAS A TRUCE.
00:38:00IN OPEN COMBAT, 100 OF MY SOLDIERS ARE THE EQUAL OF 1,000 SNEAKING INDIAN SWINE WHO CAN'T STAND UP
00:38:09AGAINST A BAYONET.
00:38:10THIS IS NOT OPEN COUNTRY, SIR. THIS IS A FOREST.
00:38:12YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM, BUT THEY WILL BE ALL AROUND YOU.
00:38:14YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO USE A BAYONET.
00:38:16ARE YOU DISPUTING MY AUTHORITY, MAJOR?
00:38:20NO, SIR. BUT I SHOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE ALL YOURS.
00:38:26QUITE.
00:38:27IF YOU OBSTRUCT ME IN ANY WAY, I SHALL BE FORCED TO PLACE YOU UNDER ARREST.
00:38:33NOW, I SHOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THE REST OF THE FOUR.
00:38:52DOCTOR.
00:38:56DOCTOR, WHAT IS THE SITUATION?
00:38:58WELL, SIR, WE'RE IN LUCK.
00:38:59NO NEW CASES IN THE PAST FOUR DAYS.
00:39:02THAT'S GOOD.
00:39:03HOW ARE THE SICK ONES GETTING ALONG?
00:39:06GETTING BETTER.
00:39:07SLOWLY, OF COURSE, SLOWLY.
00:39:09I'M A GREAT BELIEVER IN HEAT TO DESTROY THE SMALLPOX PEST.
00:39:14OF COURSE.
00:39:16OF COURSE.
00:39:17NATURALLY, WE BOIL EVERYTHING.
00:39:20CLOTHING, BLANKETS, EVERYTHING.
00:39:23YES, SIR.
00:39:24YES, DOCTOR.
00:39:25BE SO KIND.
00:39:26FOLLOW ME TO MAJOR GRADWIN'S OFFICE.
00:39:29DOCTOR, ABOUT THESE CONTAMINATED BLANKETS AND CLOTHING.
00:39:37THESE ARTICLES WOULD SPREAD THE DISEASE, NO?
00:39:41CERTAINLY, SIR.
00:39:42THE POX IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS.
00:39:44THAT'S WHY WE BOIL EVERYTHING.
00:39:45MAJOR GRADWIN.
00:39:48HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND SOME GIFTS TO THE INDIANS?
00:39:51GIFTS, SIR?
00:39:52YES, AS A TOKEN OF MY, UH, FRIENDSHIP.
00:39:56THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
00:39:58NO BETTER WAY TO OBTAIN AN INDIANS FRIENDSHIP THAN WITH GIFTS, SIR.
00:40:02I WISH TO SEND THE BLANKETS AND CLOTHING TO CHIEF PONTIAC'S VILLAGE.
00:40:08WHY, IT'LL POISON THEM LIKE FLIES, SIR.
00:40:12MORE POTENT THAN GUNPOWDER, DON'T YOU THINK?
00:40:14AND ALL HUMANITY, SIR.
00:40:17BY HUMANITY YOU REFER, OF COURSE, TO MY SOLDIERS.
00:40:20IT IS MY DUTY TO PROTECT THEIR LIVES.
00:40:24I REFUSE TO BE A PARTY TO IT, SIR.
00:40:28YOU WILL DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.
00:40:31INSUBORDINATION IN THE FACE OF THE ENEMY IS A CAPITAL OFFENSE.
00:40:35DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
00:40:38YOU HAVE YOUR ORDERS.
00:40:40YOU RESPECT MY RANK.
00:40:43THE OFFENSE IS RANK.
00:40:45IT OFFENDS MY SOUL.
00:41:09COMPLEMENTS OF COLONEL VAN WEBER, SIR.
00:41:34A TOKEN FOR THE WHITE MAN'S HOPE FOR PEACE.
00:41:39SON WEBER, HOW MANY SONS DO YOUR CHIEFS ASSEMBLE AT THE FORT?
00:41:46SIX.
00:42:21GENTLEMEN, COLONEL VAN WEBER, MAJOR GLADWIN, CHIEF PONTIAC.
00:42:27IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU HERE, SIR.
00:42:30I CAME HERE TO SPEAK FOR MY PEOPLE AND GIVE THEIR THANKS FOR YOUR GENEROUS GIFTS.
00:42:37BUT GREATER ARE THEIR THANKS FOR THE HIGH PURPOSE OF THIS PEACE MEETING.
00:42:44SO THE SAVAGE HAS COME TO BEG FOR PEACE.
00:42:50CHIEF PONTIAC DID NOT COME TO BEG FOR PEACE, SIR.
00:42:54HE EXPECTED TO BE RECEIVED AS THE HEAD OF AN ARMY.
00:42:57TO STATE HIS TERMS AND ASK FOR OURS.
00:43:00IS THAT NOT RIDICULOUS?
00:43:10YOU'RE INSULTING HIM, SIR.
00:43:12I'M MAKING A VERY GRAVE MISTAKE.
00:43:15MAJOR, IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT AN INDIAN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF A TREATY.
00:43:24I ALLOWED YOU TO COME HERE OUT OF COURTESY TO MY JUNIOR OFFICER.
00:43:28MAJOR GLANDWYN.
00:43:31AND OUT OF CURIOSITY.
00:43:37NOW MY CURIOSITY IS SATISFIED.
00:43:40I SEE NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS INTERVIEW ANY FURTHER.
00:43:44COME BACK HERE!
00:43:47ARRESTOS INDIANS!
00:43:48I CAME UNDER A FLAG OF TRUTH.
00:43:50Colonel Von Webber, THIS IS A MATTER OF HONOR.
00:43:51CHIEF POTIAC CAME HERE AS AN AMBASSADOR OF HIS PEOPLE.
00:43:55ARE YOU INSTRUCTING ME ON THE POINT OF HONOR, MAJOR?
00:43:59YES.
00:44:00AND ON THE MATTER OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
00:44:03I WARN YOU, SIR, GENERAL AMHURST WILL HAVE A COMPLETE REPORT.
00:44:06AND HE WILL NOT APPROVE OF YOUR ACTIONS.
00:44:14VERY WELL.
00:44:15LET THEM GO.
00:44:17MY ACTION WAS INTENDED OR LESS.
00:44:20A WARNING.
00:44:21YOU, YOU'VE DESTROYED EVERYTHING WE TRIED TO DO.
00:44:24AND STARTED A WAR WHICH I DOUBT ANY OF US WILL SURVIVE.
00:44:28WE HAVE ALREADY DOOMED PONTIAC TO DEFEAT
00:44:31WITHOUT PLACING ONE WHITE LIFE IN GEOPARDY.
00:44:33WHAT IS THE INCUBATION PERIOD OF THE SMALLPACKS?
00:44:36NINE OR TEN DAYS?
00:44:38HE HAS HAD THOSE BLANKETS NOW, SEVEN DAYS.
00:44:41WE SHALL ATTACK PONTIAC'S VILLAGE IN FULL FORCE, FOUR DAYS FROM NOW.
00:44:52THE COMPLEMENTS OF COLONEL VON WEBER.
00:44:56YOU MONSTER.
00:45:02I FIND YOU INTOLERABLY INSULTING.
00:45:07ARREST THIS MAN.
00:45:09YOU ARE EXCEEDING YOUR AUTHORITY, SIR.
00:45:11LIEUTENANT MCINTYRE IS A FREE RANGER
00:45:13AND IS NOT TECHNICALLY UNDER YOUR COMMAND.
00:45:16EVERY MAN IN THIS FORT IS UNDER MY COMMAND, MAJOR GLADWIN.
00:45:20INCLUDING YOU.
00:45:23TAKE THIS MAN TO THE GUARD HOUSE!
00:45:25ALL RIGHT, MCINTYRE.
00:45:41COUNT YOUR MERCYS, ME OLD MOTHER USED TO SAY.
00:45:44WHEN YOU'RE IN TROUBLE, COUNT YOUR MERCYS.
00:45:48I'LL COUNT THEM IF YOU TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE.
00:45:50WELL, NOW, IT'S A MERCYFUL DEATH IS WHAT A PARENT QUAD OFFER YOU.
00:45:54A NICE, CLEAN DEATH, NOT MERCY-LIKE.
00:45:58SO IT IS.
00:45:59WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE AN INDIAN'S TOMMYORK SPLASHING YOUR BRAINS ABOUT?
00:46:03WHY NOT?
00:46:04WELL, NOW, THAT'S IMPORTANT, THAT IS.
00:46:06A MAN SHOULD BE ALL PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR, TO MAKE A PROPER FUNERAL.
00:46:10WHEN I'M BURIED, I INTENSE TO HAVE MY SCALP ON ME HEAD.
00:46:15IF AN INDIAN EVER DRAWS HIS SCALP IN KNIFE ON ME,
00:46:18I JUST SAYS TO HIM,
00:46:20OH, BROTHER, LOOK, SOLDIER.
00:46:22THEN I HANDS HIM MY SCALP, LIKE THIS.
00:46:25HE THINKS IT'S MAGIC, SEE?
00:46:27AND IT'S PAINTED RED INSIDE TO LOOK LIKE BLOOD.
00:46:30I'LL BET YOU A MONTH'S PAY LETS ME OFF.
00:46:34YOU'RE A SMART FELLOW, ALL RIGHT, LAMMY.

01:05:55Be close, sir.
01:05:57Let them enter cover.
01:05:58Cover?
01:05:59The enemy has fled.
01:06:00Cover.
01:06:00Be close.
01:06:00You're going to have to be close.
01:06:01That's the way they fight, sir.
01:06:02They'll be back at us in a minute.
01:06:04That's right, sir.
01:06:06Fight! There's no fight or action. It's a madness.
01:06:08The Indians are 20 to your one.
01:06:10Disperse the men and retreat now.
01:06:11We will not retreat!
01:06:14Disperse men and look out for yourselves.
01:06:23Come back here!
01:06:25Come back!
01:06:27That man has spun weather.
01:06:31I want him alive.
01:06:34On your feet, man! You're alive, fight!
01:06:37Come on! Get down! Get down!
01:06:52There you are, your boy.
01:07:07Come on!
01:07:08There you are, your boy.
01:07:34I'm sorry, my dear.
01:07:39We walked into a trap, sir.
01:07:42Colonel Von Weber?
01:07:43Taken alive by the Indians, sir.
01:07:45What about Lieutenant McIntyre?
01:07:47He tried to save us, ma'am.
01:07:49Warned Von Weber.
01:07:51Von Weber shot him.
01:07:53The Indians took him with them, too.
01:07:56Alive?
01:07:57I don't know.
01:08:17I don't know.
01:08:18I don't know.
01:08:20I don't know.
01:08:39I don't know.
01:08:42I don't know.
01:08:47I have experienced Indian torture.
01:08:50Torture before white man's torture.
01:09:20Oh, my God!
01:09:23Oh, my God!
01:09:27No!
01:09:29No!
01:09:35He lost it.
01:09:43Help me.
01:09:51Boss, get lost.
01:10:00Lieutenant, have four horses saddled immediately.
01:10:05Also, arrange a color guard and a white flag.
01:10:08Yes, sir.
01:10:09Come on, my dear. We're going for a ride.
01:10:20Let's go.
01:10:23Let's go.
01:10:25Let's go.
01:10:39Let's go.
01:10:58I want to thank you, sir, for honoring our flag of truth.
01:11:01There is no longer any reason why we can't make peace.
01:11:04So I've come to discuss a treaty, sir, on your own terms.
01:11:08No.
01:11:10Treaties are made with the lips and the sign.
01:11:15But peace comes only through our hearts.
01:11:18I agree with you, sir.
01:11:20The Great Spirit has spoken to my heart.
01:11:23Yes, the Red Coats will remain here for a time.
01:11:28But men like you will pour across the sea.
01:11:33The Great Spirit has shown me that these people will come in peace.
01:11:38The forest will be their home.
01:11:42And my people will no longer be.
01:11:49The Indian will disappear from this.
01:11:55His beloved land.
01:11:57I don't know.
01:12:01No cares.
01:12:03No cares.
01:12:10No cares.
01:12:13No cares.
