Sound the alarm!

dd

Keep Sue in there,

and you stay with her.

All right. Come on.

Vicky, quick!

Inside!

- Here's some more ammunition, Mr. Pat.

- Thank you, darlin'.

Get down. Get down.

Get down.

Get behind me.

Get behind me. That's it.

I got it! I got it!

Here it is.

Thank you.

That's it.

Mr. Pat, I've looked everywhere, and nobody

seems to know what's become of Mr. Monty.

Never you mind now.

You've had no rest all night.

Sit down there, and as soon as I finish

this, I'll get ya a bit of breakfast.

I couldn't eat. I'd better

go back out and keep on looking.

Oh, well-

Sergeant MacGregor,

are you all right, sir?

Aye, lassie.

Just a wee nip in the hand.

- Have you seen Mr. Monty?

- Well, no. I can't say that I have.

He isn't in the hospital with the wounded

men, the guardroom or the stables.

- I've looked almost every place.

- D'n' worry your head, lassie.

Mr. Monty can take care of himself

under any circumstances.

Thank you, sir.

Take him to the stables.

Inspector Randall?

Inspector Randall!

- Yes, Inspector?

- I was taken prisoner while on patrol, sir...

and held

at Big Eagle's camp.

Just before dawn this morning,

Inspector Montague was brought in.

- I was released to bring you a message.

- Go on.

Big Eagle demands that the railroad

leave his territory within two days...

or Inspector Montague will not be returned

and hostilities will be reopened.

What will you do, Father?

You must send some word.

There's only one answer

refusal.

Thank you, Randall.

Mr. Standing, aren't you going

to try to save him?

- Of course, Sue.

- Well, there must be some way to rescue him.

There aren't many of us. If we tried and failed,

they'd put him to death immediately.

We'll need help. I'll get a message out

to the nearest post.

They may get here

in time.

Iron Horse still go on.

If don't go away, you die.

Iron Horse won't go away,

Little Chief, not for me or anyone else.

Chief redcoat big fool.

All white men be killed.

If they do,

many more will come...

and it'll be very bad medicine

for the Indians.

Big talk.

Indian kill them too.

- I get cold water for sick head.

- Thanks. That would be a help.

Do it for Golden Hawk.

She your friend.

Too bad you die.

Make her feel sorry.

You know I'm not a very good rider,

but you go as fast as you can.

I'll stick on some way.

Hold still.

You oughta know which way the Indian

camp is. You used to live there.

Maybe you're thirsty.

Have a drink.

Hurry up.

Oh. Oh, hello.

- Would you please tell me the way

to Mr. Big Eagle's camp?

I've gotta go there.

It's terribly, terribly important.

- It's all right for me to go there,

'cause he's a friend.

He gave me this pony.

We know each other very, very well.

Won't you take me to him, please?

Thank you very much.

May I see Mr. Big Eagle now?

- Not now. You stay here.

- But-

Why, Sue!

Oh, Mr. Monty,

have they hurt you?

I'm all right, dear.

How did you get here?

I came to see Mr. Big Eagle,

but they won't let me talk to him.

- You shouldn't have come.

- I had to.

Mr. Standing sent

to another post for help...

but they can't get here in time,

so after dark tonight...

he's coming with a few men

to try to rescue you.

But he's afraid that

if the Indians see him coming, they'll-

- I have to see Mr. Big Eagle somehow,

before it gets dark.

- It won't do any good, Sue.

It will.

I know it will.

- Please, Mr. Indian, won't you let me talk to-

- You go back.

Come over here, dear.

Stay near me.

Oh, Mr. Monty...

if they do anything to you,

they'll have to kill me too.

dd

Redcoats on way!

They are coming!

Signal say redcoat leave post.

On way here.

Make ready now.

dd

You come now.

- Please! What are you going to do?

- Stop it, Wolf Pelt.

- But they can't take you!

- Sue, remember? You promised.

- I'm not crying. Please. Let me go too.

- You'll stay.

Then bring Mr. Big Eagle

here so I can talk to him.

Sure. He come.

But not now.

Oh, Mr. Monty-

We're not giving up, you know.

I'll talk to Big Eagle. But now...

let's pretend this is

just like any other night.

Kiss me good night.

Now, what do you say?

See you first thing...

in the morning.

I can't! I can't!

No!

No! Wait! Please! No! No!

dd

Mr. Monty. Mr. Monty. I won't let them hurt you.

- Now, Sue.

- No! Don't! Don't! Please!

No! Let me go! Let me go!

Mr. Big Eagle, please.

Don't let them hurt Mr. Monty.

- No listen to white devil child.

- You have to listen to me. Please!

Don't touch Golden Hawk!

She my friend.

I'm your friend too, Mr. Big Eagle,

and so are the redcoats.

- That's what I came here to tell you.

- Redcoat no friend now.

Let Iron Horse chief bring

soldier to kill all Indians.

No, they won't.

Mr. Standing won't let them.

And you shouldn't hurt Mr. Monty

because of what Mr. Chambers said.

I won't let you.

White child lie to save redcoat.

All tribe know soldiers come.

The redcoats are the only ones who can

speak for the great queen mother.

- The soldiers will not come to your lands.

- Redcoat lie!

White men beat Indians!

Sun god say kill all white men!

No, you won't! It was all your fault anrway!

You deserve to be whipped! If you hadn't

tried to cheat Mr. Chambers when you-

Right time now.

You tell.

The only reason Mr. Chambers said

he'd bring out the soldiers...

was because Wolf Pelt tried to sell him back

the horses he had stolen from the railroad.

Not true. No listen.

Devil child have forked tongue.

Golden Hawk speaks straight.

You one who lead braves who steal horses

and let others take blame.

Little Chief lie too. Since live with

white man, he have forked tongue.

Stop!

Why you not tell redcoat

about Wolf Pelt?

Because Little Chief and I

made a treaty to keep it a secret...

so I couldn't

break my word, could I?

You make treaty

with Golden Hawk?

Yes.

Make her blood brother too.

No make treaty now.

Too much talk.

- All lies.!

- Wait!

I've told you the truth,

Mr. Big Eagle.

Honest, I have.

On my word of honor.

Little Chief give word too.

They try to fool you

till redcoats get here.

No wait.

Wolf Pelt tell truth!

Bring medicine.

dd

Who lying?

You one who lie.

Take him away!

No! No lie. No.

Devil child lie!

Set free!

Little Golden Hawk

show white man and Indian...

how to live

as brothers.

She smoke too.

Oh, here I go again.
