Mohawk

I can give you one hundred of these.

-Why do I need these? -To fight the Americans.

We have a treaty with the Americans.

Lots of our people say that.

Then the Americans make belts with their skin.

Is that what this man tells you?

This was is the Americans' excuse to seize Mohawk land.

I promise you,

my King extends a-a chain of friendship,

he doesn't want your lands.

No, he wants us to die for him.

You're already dying!

Wentahawi, the Americans have scalped 87 Mohawk this month.

And they leave their bodies to be eaten by the animals.

That was far from here.

They're at houses nearby with at least 20 armed men.

And more will come.

Trust me.

You have to stop them.

Our people will never agree.

We can ask Uncle, he'll listen.

He's living at the mission while he hunts.

He won't be back for weeks.

If he sides with King George, the Mohawk will follow.

More words from your white man.

I have hunted with Calvin for over three months, Wentahawi.

He knows I am a man of my word.

Boys like Calvin will listen to any man that promises him war!

We must act or the Americans will kill us!

This Britisher only wants to use your body

to protect him from American rifles.

And to keep you both warm at night.

I would never harm Calvin.

Or your daughter.

How far have we come?

Half our whiskey... give or take.

Sun is up.

No sign of Calvin.

He'll show up.

You know he doesn't like to sleep alone.

My mother doesn't understand.

-She's just cautious. -She's scared.

There's no room for that anymore.

I'm going to miss this.

Then why leave?

My father is a very important man.

He has plans for me there.

But I will miss these magical trees.

What about me and Calvin?

You must finish what we started.

I have faith in you.

And Calvin.

I can't drink like you.

No one can.

Hm?

-I have to tell you something. -Shh.

Someone's coming.

Calvin.

We need to move!

I killed them.

I killed them all.

Jesus, that was a last resort, Calvin.

Oak!

Where are you going?

This is bad, Calvin.

Someone has to stop the big knives!

You just showed you're full of fear then.

-You sound like your mother. -I am nothing like my mother.

I want the demons to leave and I will fight

but what you did, Calvin, it was stupid!

Now we have to get back and tell the people we're at war.

They'll have to support me.

And if they don't, we go upstream to find your uncle.

Don't you speak for my family.

Nothing will happen to them. I promise.

I had to do it, Oak.

They're going to kill us all if we don't fight.

My mother's gonna kill us first.

If your mother will not support us,

we need to get to your uncle as soon as possible.

How far is it to the mission?

Oak?

Calvin?

Oak?

Nice, ain't it?

Whoa there, friend?

My name's Myles.

Myles Quincy Holt.

Look, I didn't... I didn't mean to frighten you.

You uh...

You got a name?

-Joshua. -Joshua.

What the hell you doin' out here, Joshua?

This Indian land.

I live here.

Well, I'll be fucked.

A white man...

livin' out here.

Jesus, ain't you afraid of gettin' scalped?

In my experience...

it's the white man who does the scalping.

Ain't that the truth.

You by any chance know George McFeely?

He's up in uh, Fort Niagara?

Well, I heard he got himself 30 Indian scalps.

Can't say our paths have crossed.

Well, me and my men,

we've been trackin' an Indian.

You ain't seen one

runnin' this way, have you, Joshua?

I haven't.

How many men are you traveling with?

There's two of us.

Oh.

You just said men.

No.

I don't believe I did.

It's just the two of you?

Sure thing, friend.

I-I have to be on my way.

It's only my daddy, he sure don't count.

We're all Americans here.

You tell your father to stop moving.

Daddy.

You're making our new friend here a little nervous.

Colonel Charles Hawkes, if you please.

How many are you?

I'm surprised that a uh,

man of your perceived heritage

would bear arms against fellow patriots.

While I am well aware that uh,

far too many allegiances have been tested this past year,

I can find no viable circumstance

in which a man would raise his weapon

against fellow Americans.

I've been killin' British for years.

This boy's a redcoat.

He can't be, Colonel.

You know redcoats don't travel alone.

You're not alone,

are you, Joshua?

He's travelin' with Indians!

Don't!

Flank him!

They're over there!

They're over there!

We need to go!

I almost got him!

Get down.

Over here.

-D'you hear me? -Yeah, I can hear you.

Every timber nigger for a hundred miles can hear you.

You see anything?

Nothin'. They must've gone the other way.

They were scouts. The rest are coming.

How? I killed them.

Not all.

Why do you act and not use your mind?

How far to the long house?

Mission.

We must be fast.

Whoa!

Wentahawi.

Calvin has done a great thing.

He set--

This is your fault.

You put this in their heads.

You need to talk to the people.

They're gone.

-Gone? Gone where? -Into hiding.

Your father watched the smoke all morning.

Our people will not go to war!

Go to the mission, get Uncle and all the cousins, they'll help.

It's too late for that.

Wentahawi, the Mohawk can no longer stay neutral.

You must fight or you will die.

No one should die on such a lovely day.

Say go.

I come in peace.

See?

What are you doing so far away from home?

A great crime was committed today

against the big knives.

These children had nothing to do with it!

Then why is your butt covered in ash?

Stay where you are!

The great father in Washington

wants to know if the Mohawk are still his loyal children.

Howdy, Joshua.

Because of his actions last night,

we must take the boy to Fort George.

I assure you,

he will face a fair trial.

I ain't no man's prisoner.

This is not an invitation.

Get ready.

No...don't.

Yancy!

Tell these people they are obstructing

the United States government.
