00:03In 1757, England and France had been at war for three years over the control of the American colonies.
00:09The last three members of the Mohican tribe, Chingach Guk, his son Uncas, and his adopted son Hawkeye,
00:15who are on the border west of the Hudson River, are hunting for food, which he will later share with the Cameron family on his farm.
00:22That night, Jack visits them in search of people who will go with him to New York and join the local army,
00:27despite Hawkeye's suspicions that one of the locals would join him in battle.
00:31The next morning, a group of British soldiers also tries to recruit any volunteer who would join them.
00:38Most agree with Hawkeye and decide not to join, but Jack manages to persuade a number of men to go with him and hear General Webb's offer.
00:46In the meantime, Senior Officer Duncan returns to the city to also visit General Webb, who, in the midst of his negotiations with Jack,
00:54They manage to simply agree on the following way.
00:56Jack and his team will join the army at the local fortress,
01:00as long as they are allowed to leave it to go defend their home, if ever attacked.
01:04After Jack's departure, Duncan summons Webb due to the entrance of the crown in negotiations with the locals,
01:09although Webb's opinion is that everything should be done to win the war.
01:13After that, he discusses Duncan's next mission, which should be an escort of Colonel Monroe's daughter to the fortress to see him again.
01:21To make sure that this would be done, Monroe will send one of his Mohican allies, Magu, as their guide.
01:28Later, Duncan visits Monroe's daughters, Cora and Ellis, to inform them that he is preparing for the journey.
01:33Duncan is in love with Cora and asked her to tell him to look at him only as a friend.
01:38Not accepting the offer so easily, Duncan asks to think about it for a while.
01:43Later, Magu, Duncan, two girls and a group of soldiers set off for the fortress,
01:47but even after a long journey, Magu does not allow them to rest, claiming that it will be better to do so when they reach the Pit of Water.
01:54Chingach Guk and his sons are in the same area and follow a set of suspicious footsteps.
01:59After reaching the river, Magu reveals his true face.
02:03He belongs to the Mohawk tribe, which has united with the British.
02:06He is a Hurunac, a tribe that has joined the French forces.
02:10A group of Hurunac has taken possession of this group and, as Magu's first murder, is waiting for a sign to attack.
02:16Duncan guards his sister while the rest of the Mohawks meet in a fierce battle with the Hurunac,
02:20which, as a result, leaves Duncan as the last Englishman.
02:24Fortunately, Chingach Guk and his sons, who frighten Magu and the rest of the Hurunac with their weapons, are saved.
02:31They accept Duncan's escort and make their way to the fortress, but do not take the horses with them,
02:35because they leave too simple traces.
02:38On their way out, Cora steals a gun and hides it under a tree.
02:41During the journey, Uncas can't help but stare at Alice, and fall in love with her.
02:46Duncan can't understand how Hawkeye and his family are here, and should be going to fight,
02:51so Hawkeye reminds him that he is neither a scout nor a soldier, he is just a man looking for a new place to live.
02:56When they arrive at the farm, they are shocked to see everything set on fire and the whole family of Cameroon killed.
03:02However, nothing was stolen, which means that this was done by the French army, not ordinary robbers.
03:07However, Chingach Guk and his sons refuse to stay, and have to pass by and prepare a meal,
03:12which Cora considers cold and unimportant.
03:15The team continues to move, and rests only when night falls.
03:18Cora asks for an explanation again, and Hawkeye finally explains how the body digging
03:22would only leave the French army with a trace of their location.
03:25Now that Cora realizes that they only protected her, he takes his free time to connect with Hawkeye,
03:30and listens to his story about how Chingach Guk adopted him after he saved him from the French
03:35who killed his parents and sister.
03:37A group of Hurunians is nearby, but they do not dare to come closer,
03:40because they deliberately made a camp on the graves.
03:42When they finally reach their destination, they find the fortress under attack,
03:46and notice the Hurunians who have been following them all the time,
03:49and therefore decide to cross the river and approach the fortress from behind.
03:53High Officer Munro is only half happy, because he sees his daughter,
03:56because he sent a message that they are not coming, but to send reinforcements,
04:00but Magua never sent it because of his original plan.
04:04Moretz will send a new message and hope that this will arrive on time,
04:07because they only have 3 days left before the arrival of the French.
04:10Hawkeye thanks them for their services in his message,
04:12and they are allowed to cross the river with the permission of Rani and Barut.
04:16Munro talks about what they saw on the farm,
04:18and how the French army is moving and attacking the innocent,
04:21but Munro refuses to respect the agreement they had with Webb.
04:24In the meantime, Magua reports to the French general Louis the escape of Duncan and his sister,
04:29so they have to prepare for another voice.
04:31Later, Cora helps Uncas with the wounds,
04:33and when Hawkeye came for his brother, they used the opportunity to flirt with him.
04:37Then, Hawkeye and his family provide protection to the new voice,
04:41killing perfectly every crook who dares to attack them.
04:45After they solved it, Hawkeye joins Jack,
04:48trying to persuade Munro to let them go to defend their land as Webb promised them,
04:52but Munro refuses to weaken his army based only on speculations.
04:56He asks Duncan if they can be sure that it was the French soldiers
05:00who attacked the farm, and not just the savages.
05:02But Duncan lies and denies that he saw anything that could lead to doubt,
05:06because love has to be at the root of intimacy with Hawkeye.
05:09Little by little he decides not to let anyone go,
05:11and if someone tried to escape, he would be lost.
05:14Cora heard the whole conversation,
05:15and when Duncan came again asking her if she had thought about his request,
05:19she rejected him again.
05:21In the meantime, Hawkeye helps Jack and some fighters to escape from the fortress,
05:24giving them advice on which roads to take to be safe.
05:28But he and his family stay because the brothers are worried about their sister.
05:31Later, Hawkeye is with Cora, and the two of them spend the night together.
05:35In the morning, Hawkeye is arrested for rebellion.
05:37Cora tries to get some sense out of his father,
05:40calls Duncan for his lies,
05:42pointing out that this doesn't look like the truth,
05:44and that maybe it would be better for the French to win.
05:46If Munro thinks Hawkeye is guilty of rebellion,
05:48then Cora also thinks for himself.
05:50Later, Cora visits Hawkeye in his cell,
05:52and stays with him until the French arrive.
05:54Louie and Munro meet for negotiations.
05:57It turns out that the French have captured the loudspeaker on their way back,
06:00and have a message from Webba,
06:02who says that they don't have reinforcements they can send,
06:04and recommends that Munro surrender.
06:06Then Louie suggests the following.
06:08If they surrender immediately and no longer fight in the colonies,
06:10they will be allowed to return to England instead of captivity.
06:13Munro asks if they can keep their weapons and their colors,
06:15and after Louie says they can, Munro accepts the offer.
06:18He has seen death and fighting often before,
06:20but now that he sees that the Highlanders do not care about their lives,
06:23he would rather stay alive than fight for them.
06:25While the British are preparing to leave,
06:27Louie secretly meets with Magu.
06:29Magu is not happy about this turn of events,
06:31because he still wanted to consecrate Manu
06:33for what he and his army did to the Magu people,
06:35that is, they burned villages, killed children,
06:37and even gave Magu to the Mohawks as slaves.
06:40Louie points out that he must respect the political agreement
06:43for the well-being of his country,
06:45but nothing prevents Magu from doing what he wants in his free time.
06:48In the morning, the British army leaves,
06:50and when they are far enough from the fortress,
06:52Magu and the Hurons attack.
06:54An absolute massacre ensues,
06:56so Korah grabs Alice and takes her with him to hide
06:58while everyone else is fighting,
07:00shooting at every Huron who tries to get close to them.
07:02Magu manages to capture Manu alive,
07:04only to pull his heart out of the Colonel's chest with his knife.
07:08Hawke and his family kill enough Hurons
07:10to escape the battle and join the sisters,
07:12then they bring them to the river
07:14to escape together with Duncan and two other soldiers
07:16who stole the Hurons' boats.
07:18Unfortunately, they are still being followed,
07:20so Hawke forces them to leave the boats
07:22and throws them out of the water as a distraction.
07:24Then the team goes a secret path behind the waterfall
07:26and stays in the cave to hide
07:28until the Hurons disperse.
07:30Hawke makes it hard for Korah,
07:32telling her what happened to Manu,
07:34while Duncan grabs Alice after he saved her
07:36from the near attack from the waterfall.
07:38A few moments later, the team hears sounds.
07:40The Hurons have found them.
07:42Barutim is wet and useless,
07:44so Hawke and his family will jump over the waterfall
07:46to avoid the conflict,
07:48knowing that they will only bring the British,
07:50which would mean that they could save them later.
07:52Duncan calls them cocks,
07:54but Korah agrees with their decision,
07:56and Hawke reminds her that he will let her survive,
07:58promising that he will find her sooner or later,
08:00regardless of their distance.
08:02Chinga Ch'gook and his sons leave
08:04while Duncan's soldiers are killed,
08:06trying to fight.
08:08As Hawke predicted, Duncan and his sister
08:10are captured and given to the Hurons,
08:12not knowing that Hawke and his family are following them.
08:14Arriving in the village, Magwa presents the captives
08:16on their heads, explaining how they can sell
08:18Duncan to the French for a certain reward,
08:20and burn Duncan's sister in honor of the Hurons
08:22who were killed by the British.
08:24Then Hawke enters the village,
08:26and after being shot a few times
08:28because he is a white,
08:30he comes to the head, asking for revenge
08:32with Duncan as his translator.
08:34Explaining how killing an old man
08:36will not achieve anything but the death of innocent people,
08:38he points out how the French and the British
08:40had a peace that Magwa destroyed,
08:42so it is very difficult to believe
08:44that the French would be friends with the Hurons.
08:46Magwa thinks that this would be a good idea
08:48and will show the strength of the Hurons to the French,
08:50so he will be able to look for new conditions
08:52to trade with them.
08:54They can become true followers
08:56and join the rest of the tribes,
08:58that is, they would be as powerful as the Whites,
09:00and not weaker than them.
09:02Hawke thinks that following the path of the Whites
09:04is a betrayal of the tribe,
09:06and that Magwa's heart has been poisoned.
09:08Before the discussion could continue,
09:10the head made a decision.
09:12Magwa fought bravely,
09:14but he could not defeat Alice.
09:16Hawke can take Duncan,
09:18and Cora will be burned in the name of the evil eyes.
09:20Desperate to save his love,
09:22Hawke offers his life for Cora,
09:24but Duncan translates differently
09:26and offers himself in fact.
09:28While Magwa and his people lead Alice,
09:30Hawke leads Cora with him to the mountain.
09:32After meeting with Chingach Gook and Uncas,
09:34he decides to make a last act of mercy
09:36and shoots Duncan from afar
09:38to reduce the pain of burning.
09:40Hawke and his family and Cora follow Magwa
09:42However, Uncas falls ill without any idea,
09:44and Magwa kills him and throws his body from the cliff.
09:46Inspired by his sacrifice,
09:48Alice considers it a better future
09:50than life as Magwa's slave,
09:52and goes to the cliff and jumps too.
09:54Hawke comes next, and while he draws
09:56the attention of the Whites with his weapon,
09:58Chingach Gook leads the battle with Magwa,
10:00manages to kill him, and in that way
10:02sanctifies his son.
10:04After the battle is over, Chingach Gook and Hawke
10:06say a prayer for Uncas's soul,
10:08while Cora listens.
10:10After this prayer, Chingach Gook calls himself
10:12the Last Mohican.
