Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega /Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega / Steady as the beating drum / Singing to the cedar flute / Seasons go and seasons come / Bring the corn and bear the fruit / By the waters sweet and clean / Where the mighty sturgeon lives / Plant the squash and reap the bean / All the earth our Mother gives / O Great Spirit, hear our song / Help us keep the ancient ways / Keep the sacred fire strong / Walk in balance all our days / Seasons go and seasons come / Steady as the beating drum / Plum to seed to bud to plum / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Steady as the beating drum / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega

...faced a determined enemy. The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell. Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Kocoum. He attacked with the fierce strength of the bear. He has proven himself to be the greatest...

[Pocahontas and Nakoma are looking at Kocoum]

Oh, he is so handsome.

[off-screen]

...and the finest...

[jokingly]

I especially love his smile.

[Cut to a stone-faced Kocoum]

...destroying every enemy in his path. Tonight we will feast in his honor.

[Cheer.]

My daughter.

Wingapo, father.

Seeing you gives me great joy.

I am so glad you’ve come home safely.

Come with me, we have much to talk about. I want to hear everything you’ve been doing.

Help! Somebody, help! Help! Help!

Lon

Easy, lad. What is it?

It's Smith! They got him!

Ben

Who got him?

The savages!

Settler

Savages?

They captured him, dragged him off!

Ben

Where'd they take him?

They headed North!

Lon

How many were there?

I don't know, at least a dozen.

Ben

Filthy beasts!

It's perfect, Wiggins! I couldn't have planned this better myself. The gold is as good as mine!

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.

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!

[singing]

What can you expect / From filthy little heathens / Here's what you get when races are diverse / Their skin's a hellish red / They’re only good when dead / They're vermin as they said and worse / They're

Drive them to our shore / They're not like you and me / Which means they must be evil / We must sound the drums of war

They're savages, savages / Dirty shrieking devils / Now we sound the drums of war

This is what we feared / The Paleface is a demon / The only thing they feel at all is greed

Kekata

Beneath that milky hide / There's emptiness inside

They're going to kill him at sunrise, Grandmother Willow.

You have to stop them.

I can't.

Child, remember your dream?

I was wrong, Grandmother Willow. I followed the wrong path. I feel so lost. [Meeko gives her John's compass.] The compass? Spinning arrow!

It's the arrow from your dream!

I was right! It was pointing to him. [Sunlight hits her face.] Sunrise!

It's not too late, child. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, child... Now follow it!

[singing]

This will be the day / [spoken] Let's go, men!

[Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, morning.] [singing]

This will be the morning / [spoken] Bring out the prisoner!

Eagle help my feet to fly

[singing]

Mountain, help my heart be great

Settlers and Native Americans

Now we leave them blood and bone and dust

[singing]

Spirits of the earth and sky

Settlers and Native Americans
[singing]

It's them or us

[singing]

Please don't let it be too late

Settlers and Native Americans
[singing]

They're just a bunch of filthy, stinking / Savages, savages / Demons, devils

[singing]

Kill them!

Settlers and Native Americans
[singing]

Savages, savages / What are we waiting for? / Destroy their evil race / Until there's not a trace left

[singing]

How loud are the drums of war

Settlers and Native Americans
[singing]

We will sound the drums of war / Savages, savages / Now we sound the drums of war / Now we see what comes / Of trying to be chums / (Now we sound the drums of)

War!

[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.

Daughter, stand back.

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 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.

[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!

No!

They let him go!

Ben

They don't want to fight!

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!

[He aims at Powhatan; John Smith notices.]

NO!

[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!

[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]

Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!

[grabs the gun from Governor Ratcliffe]

Put him in chains!

I'll see you all HANGED for this!

And gag him as well! [Thomas looks up at John as Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan tend him worried rushes to him]
