The Legend of the Lone Ranger

You got him! You got him!

Sit down. Get down.

We ain't never going to find

that damn little redskin.

When I do, I'm going to scalp him.

Go.

The little Injun's somewhere.

Get down.

There's the Reid place.

Come on, we're missing it.

The ranch.

The ranch!

Dad!

Ma! Dad!

Dad!

Ma!

No!

Ma! Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

Ma! Ma!

Ma!

Ma! Ma!

Ma.

Ma.

Ma.

Oh, Ma. Why did you...

Why did you have to die?

Though we cannot see

those that are dear to us

does not mean that they

are no longer with us.

Keep your parents alive within you,

and their spirits will never die.

While you are here,

do not stand apart.

Follow the Indian way.

Be one of us.

Tonto will teach you.

The legend started simply,

just a boy without a home.

Taken in by Indians,

but still pretty much alone.

He had to struggle with strange customs

and his own fears from within.

He learned the wisdom of the forest.

He learned the ways of the wind.

I recognize my familiar voice

as a truth bearer that tells me what to do

and what is just

and which trail to follow...

the trail of justice.

Dan? Dan!

Hey, John. Johnny.

Oh, I knew you'd come.

Anyway, Johnny, it's all arranged.

You're gonna go stay

with Aunt Martha in Detroit.

Please, Dan, let me

stay with you, please.

I belong here.

From this moment,

wherever you go,

whatever you do,

you will always be kemo sabe.

Trusted friend.

Whoa!

Damn dust.

Where you want these at?

Wait for what?

That's worth waiting for, all right.

Are you going to Del Rio?

Sure going to try, ma'am.

Need help?

Thank you. I'll manage.

Get on up the road! Come on, boys!

You manage very well.

Would one of you gentlemen

please change places with me?

I can't read riding backwards.

I've been in this seat

for three days now, lady.

It's warm and lucky.

I beg your pardon.

Here.

Thank you.

John. John Reid.

Thank you, Mr. Reid.

She's a wonderful writer, isn't she?

Are you familiar with her?

Well, actually,

I prefer Century of Dishonor.

I haven't read it.

Well, you should.

You don't ever go blind. Never.

Dark eyeglasses.

Solar spectacles!

This is why I came out west.

To manufacture, you know?

You're a man of vision, sir.

Vision?

Very good.

So how about you, young man?

I'm an attorney. I'm starting my practice.

A lawyer.

If we didn't have lawyers,

we wouldn't have crooks.

You know, I think you're

gonna sell a pair of these

to everybody in Texas.

Jal I will. I will.

American opportunity, Mr. Reid.

Take advantage.

What the hell was that?

Indians?

Road agents!

Here's what we're getting paid for, kid!

Get the horse!

Get up in there!

- I can't!

- Get their goddamn horse!

Indians! Indiana!

Get on up the road!

What the hell is he doing?

- He can't outrun them.

- But he's gonna try.

He could get us killed.

Get up!

Up!

Giddyup!

Get on, boy!

Do any of you gentlemen have a gun?

Yes, ma'am. I do.

Well, use it, then!

It's not my fight, lady.

But it's mine. Give it to me!

I'm not a coward.

So much for American opportunity.

Jump on it and stop it!

Get up in there!

Whoa!

Whoa.

Whoa! Whoa.

Let's have the pouch.

We ain't got no gold.

We ain't got no cash box.

The pouch!

Hell, all I got is letters and packages.

They ain't worth it.

Them's government papers.

- Let's go.

- What? Just leave them here?

- Them's our orders.

- Who's going to tell?

- Well, make it fast.

- All right.

- Come on!

- I'm hurrying.

What the hell are you doing in there?

Nothing, nothing! Nothing.

Nothing don't take that long.

But she might.

Kill him! Kill the bandit!

- No!

- Do it!

No!

I would like to thank you.

Well, you can thank me

by telling me your name.

Amy. Amy Striker.

They held up the Overland!

They held up the Overland!

They held up the Overland!

Everybody's been killed! They're all dead!

Del Rio was a town in trouble,

a town with a gun in its back,

plagued by crimes

that just wouldn't stop

and cursed with a sheriff

who wore black.

So you'd think they'd be suspicious,

but simple folks rarely are.

They're willing to trust their law

to just about any man who wears a star.

Whoa.

Here's the sheriff.

They killed Shotgun

and one of the passengers.

Amy! Amy!

There was five of 'em.

This is what's left.

Oh, Amy. Thank God.

Two of them, huh?

Well, they'll each hang twice.

They wore the gray hoods, Sheriff.

Cavendish gang.

They's after these land grants.

Come on.

What's going to happen

to those two outlaws?

They're gonna take them

to San Anton'

Do you need a deposition?

I don't know.

You got one you want to get rid of?

Oh, Mr. Reid. I'm Lucas Striker.

My uncle.

Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

Amy told me what you did.

I just can't thank you enough.

Why, if anything happened to her...

Well, uh, you know,

your niece was very

courageous, sir.

She never compromised an inch.

Perhaps you might join us

for supper tonight?

Thank you. I'd like to, but I can't.

I have to be at the ranger

post before dark.

Oh, are you joining the rangers?

No, sir. My brother.

I see.

You shouldn't have come.

You've got an education.

You're a lawyer, for Christ's sakes!

You got a chance

to make something out of your life,

but this is not the place.

Dan, what's happened?

I mean, what's wrong?

You just don't understand.

These are tough times.

John, I got enough hurt in my life

without having to worry about you, too.

When I was 10 years old,

you sent me away to learn,

and I learned.

But the most important thing I learned

was that I belong here.

You don't understand.

It's still a frontier.

It forces you to make sacrifices,

to make choices.

Your heart can't tell you what to do.

Your gut tells you.

Dan...

we're the last of the Reids.

You're my brother.

Can't you understand

that you don't belong here?

Dan, I've come home,

and my gut tells me that I'm going to stay.

John.

One day she just packed up,

took Danny back to Richmond.

Well, maybe she'll change her mind.

No.

Not till we make it safe out here.

Safe so a man can raise a family

and provide for them.

But I don't know.

This territory is endless.

That just may be impossible.

Bastards come out of nowhere, strike...

and just disappear.

I don't even know where they hole up.

Who's that?

The Cavendish gang.

Cavendish?

They're the ones who robbed the stage.

Cavendish don't rob stages.

Cavendish robs ranches.

They've been grabbing land,

driving the owners off,

robbing, killing, burning.

Who is this Cavendish?

Butch Cavendish.

Butch for butcher.

Major in the Union Army,

dishonorably discharged.

Grant court-martialed him

right after the Battle of Chattanooga.

Now he's heading

an outlaw army in Texas.

Well...

you know you'll get him.

You going to see him

when he comes out here?

Cavendish?

Grant.

Grant's coming out here.

He's going to hunt buffalo,

make speeches.

Everybody in the whole town's

going to turn out there

and wave little flags at him.

Me?

I'd like to piss on him.

He's the President of the United States.
