Thomas
What do you suppose the New World will look like?
John Smith
Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this one?

Settlers Chorus
[singing]
In sixteen hundred seven (1607) / We sail the open sea / For glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company / For the New World is like heaven / And we'll all be rich and free / Or so we have been told / By the Virginia Company / So we have been told / By the Virginia Company / For glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company
Settlers
Ready to hoist the cannon? Aye!
Lon
Hey look. Is that Smith?
Ben
That's him, all right. The old sea dog.
Thomas
Captain John Smith? I've heard amazing stories about him.
Lon
[to John]
Are you coming on this voyage, too?
Ben
Of course he is, you half-wit! You can't fight Indians without John Smith!
John Smith
That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.
Settlers Chorus
[singing]
On the beaches of Virginny / There's diamonds like debris / There's silver rivers flow / And gold you pick right off a tree / With a nugget for my Winnie / And another one for me / And all the rest'll go / To the Virginia Company / It's glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company
Settler
Full anchor release!
Settler
Come on, lads, come on!
Settler
Give me a hand, someone!
Settler
Watch out!
Settler
Faster! She's taking up more water!
Settler
Look out!
Thomas
John! Get down here! The cannons are breaking loose!
John Smith
Reef the topsails!
Settler
Aye, sir!
John Smith
Steady on the course. It’s all right, Thomas. We'll get her tied off.
Settler
Say your prayers, lad!
Settler
Look out!
Settler
Oh no!
John Smith
Thomas, watch out!
Thomas
Help!
Settler in Crow's Nest: Man overboard!
Thomas
Help!
Ben
Stay your course. He's lost.
Thomas
Help!
John Smith
Pull the pin!
Settler
Aye, sir!
Ben
[John Smith jumps into the sea.]
Smith! Smith! Are you crazy?
John Smith
Hang on, Thomas. I've got you.
Lon
Quick, the rope!
Ben
Heave! Come on, lads, pull! Pull! Pull! Put your back into it!
Settler
Pull! Pull!
Lon
Hang on!
Settler
Yeah!
Ben
There, me lucky lad.
John Smith
Well, that was refreshing.
Lon
Well done, Smith.
John Smith
Of course. You'd all do the same for me.
Ben
Oh, sure, sure, of course we would.
Lon
Yes yes, yes. We would.
Ben
Absolutely.
Governor Ratcliffe
Trouble on deck?
Thomas
Governor Ratcliffe!
John Smith
Thomas fell overboard, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe
Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved. Well done, Smith.
John Smith
Thank you, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe
Don't lose heart, men. It won't be long before we reach the New World, and remember what awaits us there: freedom—
Percy
[Bark.]
Governor Ratcliffe
Prosperity—
Percy
[Bark bark.]
Governor Ratcliffe
The adventure of our lives. You are the finest crew England has to offer and nothing, not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages shall stand in our way. Carry on, men!
Settlers
[Cheer.]
Wiggins
A stirring oration sir. I'm sure the men were most exhilarated.
Governor Ratcliffe
Let us hope so. I’ll need those witless peasants to dig up my gold, won’t I?
Thomas
[Cut to: Elsewhere on deck.]
This New World's going to be great, John. I'm going to get a pile of gold, build me a big house and if any Indian tries to stop me, I’ll blast him.
John Smith
You just worry about that fortune of yours, Thomas. Leave the savages to me.
Lon
You think they'll give us much trouble?
Ben
Not as much trouble as Smith'll give them!
Settlers
[singing]
We’ll kill ourselves an Injun
John Smith
[singing]
Or maybe two or three
Settlers and John Smith
[singing]
We're stalwart men and bold / Of the Virginia Company
Thomas
What do you suppose the New World will look like?
John Smith
Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this 1?
Settlers
[singing]
It's glory, God and gold / And the Virginia company
Governor Ratcliffe
Look at it, Wiggins. An entire New World chock full of gold, just waiting for me.
Wiggins
And scores of adventures waiting for us, right, Percy? Do you think we'll meet some savages?
Governor Ratcliffe
If we do, we shall be sure to give them a proper English greeting.
Wiggins
Oooh, gift baskets! [holds up a pair of gift baskets]
Governor Ratcliffe
[to himself]
And he came so highly recommended.
John Smith
[Ratcliffe opens the map, John enters.]
It's perfect, Governor. The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore. [to Percy; ruffles his fur] Hey there, Percy.
Governor Ratcliffe
[Percy growls softly]
Very well, then. Give the order.
John Smith
Already done, sir. I've got a crew assembled and they're ready to go.
Governor Ratcliffe
About the natives, I'm counting on you to make sure those filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission.
John Smith
Well, if they're anything like the savages I've fought before, it's nothing I can't handle.
Governor Ratcliffe
Right. That'll be all, Smith, there's a good man.
John Smith
[ruffles Percy's fur again]
See ya, Percy. [Percy growls; leaves]
Governor Ratcliffe
The men like Smith, don't they? [Percy growls again over Smith ruffling his fur] I've never been a popular man.
Wiggins
I like you.
Governor Ratcliffe
And don't think I don't know what those backstabbers at court say about me.
Wiggins
Oh yes, all that talk about you being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's--
Governor Ratcliffe
I'm very well aware that this is my last chance for glory. But mark my words, Wiggins, when King James see the gold these peasants unearth success will be mine, at last.
Ben
[Outside; The boat drops to the water]
Wake up! Shake a leg!
Lon
It's incredible.
Thomas
And it's all ours. I've never seen anything like it.
Ben
It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinking boat.
John Smith
Come on, men, we didn't come all this way just to look at it.
Ben
[They row ashore as Pocahontas watches.]
Keep it taut, lads, keep it taut! Steady, steady.
Lon
Ah, that's far enough! All right now, tie her off.
Thomas
Here, John, tie up this end. John? John? What are you doing up there?
John Smith
Getting a better look. [Meeko bumps into him.] Hey! Well, you're a strange-looking fellow. You hungry? Here you go, it's a biscuit. It's food... Well, sort of. You like it, eh? Well, try eating it for four months straight. You got a friend back there? [Flit attacks him.] Hey, what, what, watch out! No... Get that... Look out!
Thomas
John! You better get down here! The Governor's coming ashore!
John Smith
All right, all right, I'm leaving.
Governor Ratcliffe
[Fade to the digging site. Kocoum and his comrades are watching the settlers closely, their digging has yielded no results, but Governor Ratcliffe, urges them on, certain that the gold they are searching for is around somewhere]
That's it. Keep at it, men. Keep digging. It has to be here somewhere.
Native American Warrior #1
[One of Kocoum's friends whistles to him and holds up three fingers, meaning that he has counted 30 more settlers in his quadrant. The Native American warrior is beginning to doubt his earlier statement about being able to take them all on easily]
There's thirty more of them, down by the ridge.
Kocoum
That makes more than a hundred!
Governor Ratcliffe
[holding a plate and a chicken drumstick]
Anything yet?
Thomas
Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.
Lon
Um, how long are we going to keep digging like this, sir?
Ben
[climbing out of his hole]
Aye, we're slaving apart, busting our backs day and night--
Governor Ratcliffe
[interrupting]
For king and country. I know, I know, and I share your fatigue. [takes a bite of his drumstick, clearly not enjoying it] Wiggins? Wiggins!
Wiggins
[As Governor Ratcliffe calls Wiggins' name, we see him making a topiary sculpture of an elephant, bear, giraffe and unicorn walking in a line] [snips the last branch off the unicorn's nose]
Coming!
Governor Ratcliffe
[evilly gives Wiggins the drumstick]
Dispose of this.
Wiggins
[waves it in Percy's face]
Uh-huh. Who's a good doggie, huh? Who's a good doggie? [the pug just sighs annoyingly, and he throws the drumstick] Fetch, boy!
Governor Ratcliffe
[Meanwhile, the chicken drumstick misses one of the Native Americans hiding in the bushes. He pokes his head out to see who threw it and is spotted by Percy, who lets out a loud, anguished shriek and runs away] [panicked]
Savages! It's an ambush! Arm yourselves!
Wiggins
Run! [ducks behind the topiary sculpture he carved and falls to the ground, teeth chattering in fear]
Governor Ratcliffe
Arm yourselves!
Governor Ratcliffe
[Meanwhile, Governor Ratcliffe and the other settlers in all directions, grabbing some loaded guns to defend themselves]
Make sure every man has a musket! Shoot! [Thomas runs past him, but accidentally trips on a log and his gun goes off, narrowly missing Governor Ratcliffe and hitting a water barrel] Them, you idiot!
Governor Ratcliffe
[Thomas looks over his shoulder at a ticked off Governor Ratcliffe, afraid he has already messed up. The other settlers fire their weapons, barely missing Kocoum and his companions. Seeing this as a challenge, they pull their bows taut and fire their arrows in retaliation. As this goes on, Percy runs for shelter under a helmet as an arrow bounces away from it]
Where's that blasted Smith if I need him?
Kocoum
[1 of the Indian warriors, Namontack, takes refuge in a tree and gets ready to shoot at Governor Ratcliffe, but he evilly spots him there. He angrily fires a shot at Namontack. He groans as the bullet hits him in the leg and flops to the ground, yelling in pain] [drops his bow and runs to him]
Namontack!
Kocoum
[As Namontack looks up, he sees Ben about to angrily do him away. But just as he gets close, Kocoum intercepts him. The two strain for a bit before the former kicks the latter apart as Lon and Roy fire off their guns twice more. Luckily for Kocoum, the projectiles miss as he picks up his fallen friend]
Back to the village!
Governor Ratcliffe
[Kocoum carries Namontack away, hopefully to get complete medical treatment. The settlers all cheer at their supposed victory, but Governor Ratcliffe does not join in, certain he hasn't actually won]
Shut up. Shut up, you fools! They'll be back. [As the cheering continues, Wiggins pokes his head out of the topiary, which has several parts shot apart and arrows stuck in it as a result of the fight] Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore and finish building the fort!
Ben
Aye, Governor.
Governor Ratcliffe
[angrily turns to Thomas]
And you! Learn to use that thing properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot.
Ben
Alright! This one's ready to hoist!?
Lon
Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it! It's slipping!
Ben
[John, Thomas, Lon pushing the fence]
Come on, lads, it's only a little picket fence.
Lon
[Meeko climbs the fence]
Steady! Steady!
Ben
There you go.
Thomas
That'll keep everything out, eh, John? [John digs a shovel] Something wrong, John?
John Smith
What?!
Thomas
You've been quiet the last few days.
Lon
[to John]
Oh, he's just mad he missed all the action.
Thomas
Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with Indians.
Lon
Yeah. We'll take care of them, like we did last time, eh, mates? [singing] We shot ourselves an injun, or maybe two or three.
Ben
[angrily kicks him]
All right, you howling nutter! Get to work!
Lon
Come on, Ben, it's just just a little fun.
Ben
[sarcastically]
Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun. Right, look at us. No gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day happy as a clam.
Governor Ratcliffe
[in his tent]
I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now, and I haven't found as much as a speck! [Meeko sniffing to sees Percy] Think. Think! It's got to be around somewhere. Where could it be? [Percy is seen playing with a merry-go-round that has dog biscuits, Percy begin to eat the biscuits, but then he notices Meeko eating them.] I've mined the forests and the hills and the swamps... and NOTHING! [Percy begins to chase Meeko away without Governor Ratcliffe even noticing] Why can't I find it?! What am I overlooking?!
Wiggins
[He turns around and is shocked it to Wiggins apparently shot through the head with an arrow]
I... I... [he takes off his headband, made from an native's arrow] I made it myself!
Governor Ratcliffe
[snatches it off his head]
Take that silly...! [looking at the arrow] Of course. The Indians. Wiggins, why do you think those insolent heathens attacked us?
Wiggins
Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?
Governor Ratcliffe
It's the gold! They have it, and they don't want us to take it from them. Well, I'll just have to take it by force then, won't I?
Governor Ratcliffe
[Ben and Lon tired, When Governor Ratcliffe comes looking John Smith has disappeared.]
You there! Where's Captain Smith?
Lon
Well, he's... gone.
Ben
Ay, your singing must have scared him off.
Governor Ratcliffe
Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!
Lon
What if we run into the Indians?
Governor Ratcliffe
That's what guns are for! Now arm yourselves and get moving!
John Smith
Easy, Thomas. It's me.
Thomas
Oh, John! I could've killed you!
John Smith
Not aiming like that, you couldn't. Keep both eyes open when you shoot. You'll see twice as well.
Ben
Smith! There ya are!
Lon
We were looking all over for you.
Governor Ratcliffe
Smith! Where have you been?
John Smith
I was out scouting the terrain, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe
Excellent. Then you must know the Indians' whereabouts. We'll need that information for the battle.
John Smith
What battle?
Governor Ratcliffe
We will eliminate these savages once and for all.
John Smith
No! You can't do that!
Governor Ratcliffe
Oh? Can't I?
John Smith
Look, we don’t have to fight them.
Thomas
John, what's gotten into you?
John Smith
I met one of them.
Ben
You what?
Thomas
A savage?
John Smith
They're not savages, they can help us. They know the land, they know how to navigate the rivers. And, look! It’s food!
Lon
What is it?
John Smith
It's better than hardtack and gruel, that’s for sure.
Wiggins
I like gruel.
Governor Ratcliffe
They don't want to feed us, you ninnies! They want to kill us! All of us! They've got our gold, and they'll do anything to keep it!
John Smith
But there is no gold!
Ben
No... gold?
Governor Ratcliffe
And I suppose your little Indian friend told you this.
John Smith
Yes.
Governor Ratcliffe
Lies! Lies, all of it! Murderous thieves, there’s no room for their kind in civilized society.
John Smith
But this is their land!
Governor Ratcliffe
This is my land! I make the laws here. And I say anyone so much as looks at an Indian without killing him on sight, will be tried for treason and hanged.
Governor Ratcliffe
[Thomas sees John Smith sneaking off to meet Pocahontas at Grandmother Willow's Glade, Governor Ratcliffe appears behind him and pushes him out of the camp]
Follow him.
Thomas
Yes, Governor.
Governor Ratcliffe
I want to know where he's sneaking off to.
Thomas
Yes, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe
And if you see any Indians, [tosses a musker to Thomas] shoot them. Oh, and Thomas? You've been a slipshod sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again.
Pocahontas
[Pocahontas and John embrace, then kiss. Kocoum and Thomas are watching. Then Kocoum lets out a war cry and attacks John.]
Kocoum, no! [While Kocoum and John are fighting, Thomas runs to save John, while loading his musker.] Kocoum! Leave him alone! [Kocoum pushes her off to deal with Smith. They both struggle with a knife to his neck.] Kocoum, stop! [pushes Kocoum away from John]
Thomas
Both eyes open.
John Smith
[Thomas shoots at Kocoum's chest with his musker. He grabs hold of Pocahontas' necklace, but it shatters into tiny pieces, Pocahontas gasps. Kocoum's corpse body lands in the pond.] [gets up]
Thomas.
Thomas
Is he...?
Pocahontas
You killed him.
Thomas
I thought that--
Pocahontas
[enraged; John holds her back]
Get away from him!
John Smith
Pocahontas, it won’t help! He was only--
Pocahontas
HE KILLED HIM!
John Smith
[Thomas hears the Native American Warriors shouting from distance.]
Thomas, get out of here! GET OUTTA HERE!
[Thomas runs out of the scene, Percy whimpers. The angry Native American Warriors run into the scene, while yelling and captures John, pulling him away from her. Then the other Native American Warriors picks up Kocoum's corpse body and they all carry him out.]
Thomas
Help! Somebody, help! Help! Help!
Lon
Easy, lad. What is it?
Thomas
It's Smith! They got him!
Ben
Who got him?
Thomas
The savages!
Settler
Savages?
Thomas
They captured him, dragged him off!
Ben
Where'd they take him?
Thomas
They headed North!
Lon
How many were there?
Thomas
I don't know, at least a dozen.
Ben
Filthy beasts!
Governor Ratcliffe
It's perfect, Wiggins! I couldn't have planned this better myself. The gold is as good as mine!
Thomas
We've got to save him! He'd do the same for any of us.
Ben
Thomas is right! We've got to do something.
Governor Ratcliffe
And so we shall! I told you those savages couldn't be trusted. Smith tried to befriend them, and look what they've done to him. But now I say it's time to rescue our courageous comrade. At daybreak, we attack!
Settlers

They're going to kill him at sunrise, Grandmother Willow.
Grandmother Willow
You have to stop them.
Pocahontas
I can't.
Grandmother Willow
Child, remember your dream?
Pocahontas
I was wrong, Grandmother Willow. I followed the wrong path. I feel so lost. [Meeko gives her John's compass.] The compass? Spinning arrow!
Grandmother Willow
It's the arrow from your dream!
Pocahontas
I was right! It was pointing to him. [Sunlight hits her face.] Sunrise!
Grandmother Willow
It's not too late, child. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, child... Now follow it!

Pocahontas
[John Smith is about to be executed by Powhatan. Pocahontas bravely throws herself on top of John to protect him.]
No! If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too.
Powhatan
Daughter, stand back.
Pocahontas
I won't! I love him, Father. Look around you! This is where the path of hatred has brought us. This is the path I choose, Father. What will yours be?
Powhatan
[Powhatan looks at the two armies, both ready to fight. Suddenly, the wind blows across the battlefield, calming him and almost everybody else. He raises his staff and addresses the crowd.]
My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts. But she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killin', it will not start with me. Release him.
Governor Ratcliffe
[the settlers and the tribes lowered down their weapons, cut to Governor Ratcliffe who then rejects the offer]
Now's our chance! [draws sword] Fire!
Thomas
No!
Governor Ratcliffe
What!?
Thomas
They let him go!
Ben
They don't want to fight!
Governor Ratcliffe
It's a trick! Don't you see!? FIRE!!! [The Englishmen scowl at him. Governor Ratcliffe wavers for a moment, then throws his sword to the ground and grabs a musket] Fine! I'll settle this myself!
John Smith
[He aims at Powhatan; John Smith notices.]
NO!
Thomas
[John Smith jumps in front of Powhatan; Governor Ratcliffe fires; the bullet hits John Smith's side and he falls down, wounded]
John! [to Governor Ratcliffe as Pocahontas rushes to John Smith's side] You shot him!
Governor Ratcliffe
[dumbfounded]
He stepped right... right into it! It's his own fault!
Ben
[The Englishmen furiously surround Governor Ratcliffe]
Smith was right all along!
Lon
We never should have listened to you!
Ben
Get the gun! [The men swarm over Governor Ratcliffe and restrain him]
Governor Ratcliffe
Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!
Thomas
[grabs the gun from Governor Ratcliffe]
Put him in chains!
Governor Ratcliffe
I'll see you all HANGED for this!
Thomas
And gag him as well! [Thomas looks up at John as Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan tend him worried rushes to him]
Ben
Is he going to make it, Thomas?
Thomas
The sooner he gets back to England, the better.
Lon
Well, let's hope the wind is with him.
Thomas
Is the ship ready yet?
Ben
Any minute now. Just loading the last bit of cargo. [Governor Ratcliffe, tied up in chains and gagged, is tossed into a longboat]
Governor Ratcliffe
[muffled]
How dare you! Untie me at once! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!!!
Wiggins
[sadly sniffles]
And he came so highly recommended. [sighs]
Thomas
[to John on the longboat]
The ships almost ready. We'd better get you on board. We'll lose the tide.
John Smith
[hold Thomas to stop]
No, not yet. She said she'd be here.
Thomas
[as sees the Indians]
Look. [as Pocahontas comes over to white demons; the Indians are put the ear corn bag on the ground, she's walks to Englishmen approaches, and sees John to be okay]
Thomas
[to Pocahontas]
Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.
Pocahontas
[kneels beside John and offers him a bag]
Here. It's from Grandmother Willow's bark. It'll help with the pain.
John Smith
What pain? I've had worse pain than this. [winces] Agh! Can't think of any right now, but...
Powhatan
[walks over]
You are always welcome among our people. Thank you, my brother.
John Smith
[to Flit]
I thought you didn't like strangers.
Pocahontas
[Meeko, Percy and Flit to gives a fixing a Mother's necklace to Pocahontas by Kocoum]
My mother's necklace.
John Smith
See ya, Percy.
John Smith
Come with me?
Powhatan
[Pocahontas looks over at her father.]
You must choose your own path.
Pocahontas
[Pocahontas looks at her people and the settlers. She turns to John Smith.] [with tears in her eyes]
I'm needed here.
John Smith
Then, I'll stay with you.
Pocahontas
No. You have to go back.
John Smith
But I can't leave you.
Pocahontas
You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever.
Lon
[They kiss goodbye.]
Good luck, lad.
Thomas
Godspeed, John.
