arms at their posts of alarm.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hutchins.

Yes, sir.

Run up the signal torch

on the gate staff.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Baillie.

Yes, sir.

One squad to stand

by the drawbridge.

It remains down

till all the settlers are in.

Yes, sir.

Sir, order to load

the powder magazine.

Captain Holden.

Yes, sir.

Since you are anxious

to leave, take 20 men

and level the town.

Dismantle what you can

and burn the rest.

Yes, sir.

And leave nothing standing

to give cover to the savages.

Take Fraser.

Yes, sir.

Captain Holden.

Be sure you come back.

Yes, sir.

You can't burn my place,

Holden. It took me two years

to build that store.

It'll take you all eternity

to grow a new scalp.

Where to first, Chris?

Bone's tavern.

Watch your torches.

Move that log out of the way!

Search this place, men.

Stroud,

stand watch by the door.

Go to Black Watch's

until ordered.

Abby. Abby.

Search back there.

Keep you eyes peeled, now.

Abby.

Everywhere.

Sergeant, pile up

everything in this room

that will burn.

Yes, sir.

Not in the middle,

against the counter...

Captain Holden.

Captain Holden.

Captain Holden.

Hey, Chris, come here.

Yes, sir.

Bring those chairs over here

and throw them on.

Yes, sir.

Throw those bundles over.

Where's Abby?

They've taken her,

Hannah and the Indians,

to Guyasuta's camp.

Hurry up, before

those redsticks get here.

Guyasuta?

Yes.

Get me some dried meat

and a powder horn.

Lend me your rifle

and powder horn, John.

Chris, you can't go after her.

You wouldn't stand a chance.

You've seen what they do

to white women.

Where are your bullets?

Ecuyer ordered you

to burn this town.

They'll burn her.

And you spitted

right alongside her.

Chris, you're the goldarndest,

contrariest fool I ever

did see. I'm going with you.

You're staying here

and carrying out

Ecuyer's orders.

Here you are, Captain.

The dried meat

and powder horn.

What am I going to tell

Ecuyer about you?

You tell him I'll report

to him in heaven,

if we both get there.

Good luck, sir.

All clear upstairs.

All right,

put the torch to it.

Let her go.

Let it all come down.

Fire in the stable.

Yes, sir.

Throw a torch

under the stairwell.

Here, strike the Ottawas

under Pontiac.

Fort Detroit.

Here, the Mingos

of Chief Skarat.

Fort Niagara.

Here, the Wyandots

of Chief Takee.

Fort Sandusky.

Here, the Senecas

under you, Genowah.

Fort Venango.

And here you, Guyasuta,

with Delawares, Shawnees

and Senecas.

Fort Pitt.

Ecuyer is a shrewd,

strong warrior.

Sioto has made medicine.

Fort Pitt will die.

All these forts must die.

By white flag

that is red.

We know, all chief know.

Is the white girl safe?

Hannah, you will

stay here with her.

I go to Fort Pitt.

My daughter your woman.

She go with you.

As my brother wishes.

But the white girl stays here.

Protect her.

What are they going to do?

Before white one come,

Garth see only this one.

I've tried to tell you

that he...

This one love Garth,

very big love.

He doesn't mean

anything to me.

He mean much to me.

Soon white one, no more.

This one go with husband.

Hannah.

I've heard what they do

to white women.

I'm not very brave.

Will you ask them please

to let it be quick?

Never quick.

Chris.

Chris, go back! Go back!

Maybe I've come to

the wrong village.

I was looking

for great warriors,

the Seneca.

Chris, you can't save me.

We are Seneca.

These?

These are not the Senecas

I know. I was there

when they stopped Braddock.

These...

These are just squaws

painted like men,

only fit to torture women.

Chris, they'll kill you.

Keep your tongue

between your teeth.

Who calls himself Chief

among these woman fighters?

I am Guyasuta.

You think we are women?

I am unarmed.

You forget your own laws.

Tell these squaws

I come in peace.

You come in peace,

go in peace.

That's better.

Untie her.

Why you come?

I bring belts of peace

from Sir William.

Red belt of war has passed.

White man's forts

will burn. All die.

White woman burn.

Some may die,

but more will come,

always more.

White man's medicine

is strong, nothing can

stop them.

Sioto medicine stop them.

Can Sioto match

his medicine against mine?

Sioto can make

rains come, winds blow.

Sioto can speak to the dead.

With my medicine

I can take this woman,

even this worthless squaw

and vanish as I came,

and Sioto and all your

braves can never find us.

You speak big words.

Stand back.

This magic is strong.

It obeys only me.

Watch this little arrow.

It is magic.

Little arrow point to

that tree and nowhere else.

Now, you feathered vulture,

you make it point

somewhere else.

Here, take it.

If it obeys you,

the girl dies

and I die with her.

But if it does not obey Sioto,

I will take the girl

and you cannot follow

until the arrow turns.

Is it a bargain?

It is bargain.

Make arrow point.

Looks like the little

arrow only hears

the white man's tongue.

Point at fire.

Little arrow, do not listen

to Sioto's medicine.

Point at fire.

Looks like you're

not doing so well.

Oh, Chris.

Sioto say not magic.

Arrow point all time at tree.

It points where I tell it to.

It will point at you.

Chris, you can't.

You know it won't.

Squaw talk.

Arm yourself, Guyasuta.

This is the medicine of death.

Give him a knife,

the tomahawk.

Not this one,

one of the new steel ones

of Garth's, a gun.

Now,

little arrow,

point to the chief

of the Seneca.

Take it.

Tell Sioto to make it

turn from you if he can.

Turn, arrow.

Point at white man.

The little arrow points

only at you, Guyasuta.

Release the squaw.

Take her. Take her.

Guyasuta is once again

a great chief.

No. No. Help.

Let her go. Let go.

Get out of here. Go on, go on.

Get away. Get away.

Get away. Go on. Get away.

Get out of here.

Don't fall. Keep your nerve.

I haven't much left.

Don't let them know it,

we're not out of here yet.

Guyasuta, if your men follow

before that arrow moves

it will go right

through your heart.

Keep going. Keep going.

Now get.

It's dawn. They'll be

hunting us by daylight.

What can we do?

Die more comfortably.

Follow me.

Push those two adrift

and get in the other one.

Where to?

Kingdom come.

Look, Chris, they're coming.

Save your breath

for paddling.

We're gaining.

Current's faster.

There are rapids ahead.

There's worse behind.

Hand me your paddle

and move back here.

Chris, the waterfall.

Untie my sash.

Put the sash around my neck

and tie it under your arms.

We're going over.

Hang onto me and pray.

Hold tight. Here we go.

Oh, Chris.

Wolves.

There, my little nimrod,

is your wolf.

Well, he had wolves

for ancestors.

Hello, boy.

Hello, boy, hello, boy.

You all alone?

Where's your family?

They had to get out

in a hurry. Look here.

"Injuns Riz.

Me and missus gone

to Venango.

"You better get there too

if you can read this.

Ben Salter."

We'd better get inside

for the night.

What is it?

Clothes.
