Winnetou: The Red Gentleman (Winnetou II)

Winnetou, the noble Apache Chief, rides relentlessly on his sworn mission...

to keep peace between his people and the white settlers.

The advance of the white man into the Indian hunting grounds created tension

on both sides. Winnetou rides to persuade the chiefs of the North-Western tribes,

to prevent occasional uprisings against the white man from developing into a war.

A war that could mean the destruction of all the Indian nation.

Mini ta schiha nintropan.

Ana hokesche muni.

Neha teka nintropan.

Kekaha tschekak ometan. Unami sche loka.

Sehina mota.

Teleschoma tahini?

The Apache makes poor speech with the Assiniboins.

Have you ever learned how to speak the English language, heard in these parts?

We are fighting with the pale settlers. Some of us know their language, though.

Tell me what you're called. - Ribanna.

I am Winnetou. - Winnetou?

Ribanna is hurt. She will ride my horse. - Ribanna does not feel pain.

The Assiniboins are clearly courageous if their warriors are like their women.

Ribanna can walk! Put me down! - No.

Heta kahii!

These are my tribe's men. Ascha kahe!

Hetet scha akulenkha Ribanna. - Winnetou schoma mota.

Kale mina thin Ribanna. - Ahe!

Ahi akita Apacheschana Assiniboins?

The Apache cannot speak our tongue. But we share the speech of the white man.

Then I command him to say why an Apache is in the hunting grounds of the Assiniboins.

To speak peace with your Chief, Tah-Sha-Tunga.

Kitepa. Kitepa!

Enk aton!

Enem scha petra. - Kih lo ka tahe, Ribanna?

The noble Apache Chief saved my life today.

I was attacked by a bear who wounded me.

Tah-Sha-Tunga's thanks. You look to my daughter's safety.

If Winnetou should ever ask me for anything, it is his.

Don't let them burn at the stake. Let those men go. -1 kamo nek sin!

Why should these men be your friends? - They are not.

I beg this only to aid the cause of peace. - Winnetou, will you follow?

Did you hear that? Winnetou might help us. There may be a chance.

White settlers invade my hunting grounds. I can't tolerate their ruthless invasions.

I and my tribe have sworn to burn at the stake every white man...

who falls into our hands. Winnetou talks of peace.

In the name of our people I ask: Is it we who have broken it?

I can consider only one thing: all those who will die.

Our death is far less shaming than to allow this to happen.

We can fight. But who looks after your families if your warriors die?

What happens if we don't win?

No. To be alive, not merely to die,

and to stay at peace, that is what Manitou decrees.

Winnetou's words scorch me as fire does. Give us your idea.

I come to see you up here because I feel the tribes here

in the Northern area should work together with us in the South.

Winnetou will meet with Old Shatterhand, a white man. Pay him respect.

He and Winnetou and Tah-Sha-Tunga will ride to Fort Niobara.

The head of each tribe will join us there in talks with the white man,

and see what can be done about ending our hostilities.

Winnetou has not satisfied all the doubts that lie in Tah-Sha-Tunga's breast.

Ribanna owes her life to your courage. - When peace is in question,

one woman's life must not matter. My father will freely decide:

war or peace.

It takes them so long. What's going on? - Nothing for us to do. They're coming!

Do you realise just what awaits you? -Yes.

Who are you? - Lieutenant Merril, from Fort Niobara.

Isn't that the name of the man who represents your government here?

That is a fact. Colonel Frederik Merril, my father.

You are free! Please deliver a message to your father: At the next full moon,

all our chiefs will meet at Fort Niobara to plan how we may preserve our peace.

Thanks.

Now, Winnetou must grant a request Tah-Sha-Tunga makes him.

That he stay here as our guest. And when that day arrives,

we shall ride to Fort Niobara together.

Bob! Ronny! -Yes?

What's that up there? -1 don't know.

It's unusual, because I know we're in the vicinity of a tribe named the Poncas.

Shimu nahii?

We come in peace! We're friends! - Tell us what you want with the Poncas!

Where's Blue Water Lake? We lost our way.

Do not come any closer! - You could put us on the right trail.

Don't come any closer! - But if you put us on the right trail,

you'll be a barrel full of whisky richer.

You mad men! You'll pay for this! Take my word!

Are you crazy? Slaughtering Indians for no reason at all!

The only good ones are dead ones. - I've dealt with cut-throats before,

who go around murdering people. - Get moving. Get going!

We'll see you on the gallows. - You give my regards to the Colonel.

If you get there. - Okay.

Bill! Joe! Matt! Avery!

If grass don't grow and the goose don't cry, why it ain't July!

If I blast a rat and he don't die, it's a filthy lie!

I'll be alright. - The cavalry unarmed in this region?

Since we were captured by Indians. - Poncas?

No, Assiniboins. The Chief of the Apaches... - Winnetou?

You'll be alright. Go and bandage it. Yes. If it hadn't been for Winnetou,

we would have lost a lot more than just our guns. - You're right.

Do you know who attacked you? - I've no idea. They were part of

a gang of men that destroyed a Ponca settlement. - Why?

I don't know. I shall deliver a message with a peace proposal to Colonel Merril.

With those criminals, we might as well forget about peace.

There wasn't much the3 of us could do against that gang. - Leave it to me.

You're unarmed. My friend's a good shot. He'll get you to the Fort.

We're off to the Fort. I'm ready to go it. Fastest gun here

and raring to show it! Right here's the best and the only prairie poet.

I'm very glad to meet you. Would you mind, Sir, telling me your name?

They call me Old Shatterhand.

There! Ribanna is on the target! Why isn't Winnetou pleased?

Winnetou prefers that Ribanna not play with dangerous weapons.

Ribanna has shot arrows since she was a child.

She tries to take the place of the son, her father never had.

Ribanna!

Winnetou asks for pardon. - Ribanna must see her father now.

Won't she stay?

Why didn't Ribanna mention to me she was the only child of the Chief?

Assiniboins say, if a girl talks too much, she will always live alone.

No man shall want her.

You shall not live alone, I know.

Ischoma. - Schoma anahii.

When we are threatened with danger, this cave is our refuge.

It is known only by Assiniboins. Winnetou is the only stranger

who knows it. - Is Winnetou a stranger?

Ribanna will answer Winnetou's question, if he waits right here.

Ribanna was speaking with her mouth, but not with her heart!

Winnetou is not a stranger.

And what would Ribanna say if she did speak with her heart?

What does Winnetou's heart say? - Ribanna.

Winnetou.

Hands up!

Fine thing. Look at that hat, now.

Castlepool! - Old Shatterhand!

Well, what are you doing out here? - School's out, so here I am.

Collecting butterflies again this summer? - Oh, last year's hobby!

With the Papilio Polymnestor Parinda I completed my collection.

Something new has captured my interest. - What are you collecting this time?

Adventure, Sir. To a professor, adventure is glamour.

You sure did pick something different. I wish you lots of luck.

I am prepared to join forces with you. Adventure follows you. May I come?

It's ok. I'm after 2 dangerous criminals. They went off in that direction.

No, that's not where they rode off. They obliterated their tracks

to throw you off the trail. I myself watched them.

Come, Beauty! Come, come!

We'll seek that pair of criminals. - Alright. I'll take you with me.

But I warn you. The 2 men I'm looking for belong to a dangerous gang of criminals.

That's sensational! Let's hop to and begin!

Boss! Boss, listen. We... -1 know. Lucas told me about it.

Did you get those soldiers? - No. We was ambushed.

What? You let them get away free? Do you realise the implications?

Must have been 20 or 30 gunmen. We're lucky to be here.

Take 10 men to Decama. There are soldiers around there.

Find out what's happening at Fort Niobara. I want every information you can get.

I want you to find out about everything! Anyone follow you? - No.

No one at all. We laid a false trail. - We'll see.

I wonder what's up.

Well? What are you standing around for? Go on! Get to work!

Do you want us to all go up in flames? How many times have I told you: no smoking?

Hey! What do you two want here, huh? Where are you from?

From the East. - Heading West, huh?

Obviously. - Don't use them words to me!

Take it easy, Carter.

Seems we've got ourselves a couple of visitors.

Are you the boss around here? - Yes, I am. And I don't like

strangers on my oil fields. What do you want? - Oil, please.

You want oil! Perhaps you're not aware of the fact that all the oil here

belongs to me. - Congratulations, Sir. It's for my lamp.

It makes reading a pleasure. - Is he trying to be funny?

No. We've come a long way. We'd like to buy supplies from your store.

Well, you can't buy anything. I'll make you a trade, though.

I like that horse. - So do I.

Here's my offer: You give me your horse,

and in exchange you'll get merchandise from my store worth 100 dollars.

No, thank you, Mr Forrester, because... - Ok, 200 dollars. But that includes

the saddle and the 2 rifles. -1 won't part with my horse.

300 dollars for your two horses. Saddle, harness and weapons.

Now, look, Mister. You go too far. - Take it, or leave it.

You'd better take it. Bud Forrester always gets what he wants.

That's unfair! 100 of you against 2 of us. - Be quiet, Castlepool.

Go ahead.

Take him.

Stand back! And don't shoot!

I suni, Hatatitla. I suni.

Did you hear that? Hatatitla! That's Old Shatterhand's horse.

So sorry. My horse doesn't like you.

Take the weapons to the barracks. See that the horses are locked up.

Then give me the key.

Come on! - Something smells around here.

I don't notice it. -1 didn't notice it before you came.

Get that smile off your face!

Stop that!

Stop it, you hear? - We'd better get rid of them.

No. We have to find a reason first. After all, they're white men, not Indians.

But that's easy. They won't get out of here. We'll put them to work tomorrow.

Old Shatterhand.

Go in to the store. I must talk to you right away.

We were hired in Decama. Forrester supplies the oil there.

He promises commission and good lodgings, and broke his word. - He is a cad.

Folk say he has the oil concession for the whole valley.

Forrester has a claim on Indian territory? - Yeah.

The Poncas were supposed to go to Dakota. But not one of them has moved out of here.

And Forrester and his gang raise the Ponca village to the ground.

Now I understand everything. - Forrester's a murderer.

How many are you? - Over 60. And we're anxious to fight.

Forrester took our guns. They're locked out there with 2 day and 2 night guards.
