THE LONE RANGER 2013
San Francisco, 1933
Step right up!
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen,
And come with us to yester-year!
Witness the wild west as it really was
The greatest show on Earth!
Fun and educational for you, young sir!
Step Right up to another time!
THE NOBLE SAVAGE IN HIS NATURAL HABITAT
Keemosabee?
Who? Me?
You bring horses?
I think you made a mistake mister...
Mistake?
Make trade!
Trade.
Who did you think I was anyway?
Never take off mask.
Why not?
Are you sure about this?
Red man strike fear into the heart of the enemy.
Alright.
Let's do this.
Ladies and gentlemen, my colleague and I will be making a withdrawl.
I understand that this bank is insured, so...
Nobody move.
What's with the mask?
See? I told you. I feel ridiculous.
I guess that I didn't make myself clear!
This is a damn bank robbery! Ahhh!!!
Wait a minute.
You're saying you're Tonto?
The 'Tonto'?
There is another?
But, the Lone Ranger and Tonto were good guys.
I mean, they didn't rob banks.
Did they?
There come a time keemosabee,
when good man must wear mask.
Rails on.
My friends and citizens of Colby,
I've asked you here today so you can see it first hand.
What I believe to be the single-most important enterprise under god:
the unification of this great country of ours, by iron rail.
To the Commanche: I say you have nothing to fear.
Long as there is peace between us, all land treaties shall be honored.
But to the outlaws,
Those who prey upon the weak,
Make no mistake,
Law and order has come to the Wild West.
Which is why I am bringing
Notorious outlaw and Indian killer
Butch Cavendish, here to Colby to hang for his crimes.
The future
is bright, ladies and gentlemen.
And it's just around the bend.
Brought him all the way to state line, put it him on a train and ship him right back.
Don't make no sense.
Guess they run out of hanging rope in Oklahoma.
Mr. Cole wants to make an example.
Word is Cavendish is looking for payback with you Dan.
Reckon' so.
They say Butch Cavendish, ate a red legger's heart in the Missouri wars,
swallowed it whole.
I heard it was the eyes.
Man told me he ate part of his own foot just to win a bet.
The hell he did...
-Which is it Dan? -Don't see how it makes a difference.
What's the matter with him?
It's not Cavendish he's worried about...
Preacher babbling religious drivel...
Catch!
Care to pray with us?
We're Presbyterian.
Much oblidged ma'am, but this here's my bible.
Almost hanging time, Butch!
You hear what I said, boy?
I'm going to enjoy watching them wipe that look off your face.
It's broke Injun, can't you see that?
Very pretty!
For you.
No, I couldn't...
For you!
She's right,
it matches your eyes.
I didn't think you'd make it out, Mrs. Reed.
Well, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
And what do you think of our endeavor?
Looks to me like just a lot of men digging in the desert.
Danny.
One day soon, you'll be able to get on a train right here in Colby
travel all the way to San Francisco, eating New York oysters packed in ice!
Then you can sail to China, come back around the other way if you want.
That true, Momma?
Well, I'll believe when I see it!
Here. Let me show you.
See that?
Now you try.
Well, I...
I expect on a lawman's salary quite a lot falls on you?
We do just fine.
Thank you.
Oh, I mean no disrespect.
They don't make men like your husband anymore.
In fact, I envy him.
Fine family, Son to carry on his name.
Just hate to see a bird in a cage.
Well, that is right about on time.
Tonto chanting...
Shh!
Piss break, boss?
Religious people singing...
Afternoon, ladies!
There's no need for violence my son.
Gangsters laugh...
15 hours, I watched you feed that bird,
gets on a man's nerves.
I do not fear what comes next.
Nothing comes next.
Nice suit!
Time has finally come, Wendigo.
I know you Injun?
You know me.
You know me by the screams of my ancestors on the desert wind.
As you will know their cries of joy when I remove your evil seed from the face of Earth.
That won't be necessary.
As district attorney, I'll see to it that this man is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
What kinda lawman don't carry his own gun?
Believe me where this train's headed, there's no place for men who do.
Yeah? Where's that?
The future.
You know something counselor?
Maybe you're right.
Lawyer and crazy Injun. Bet you two got a lot to talk about.
Best make it quick!
-Shall we gather round the river? -I, I can't get it off!
Play on boys!
Sing it to me!
Should be slowin' down by now.
Anyway.
I'm sure we'll be at the station any minute.
Get the horses, come on!
Jesus we gotta go!
That's reinforced Bethlehem Steel.
Any attempt at escape is futile.
That's great! Good job!
And for coming to the aid of a federal prosecutor, I can be sure to put a good word in with the judge.
Come on boys put your backs into it, Railroad waits for no man!
That's the end of the line!
We jump.
What about the passengers?
They jump.
There are children on board!
All jump!
HAVE YOU NO DECENCY?
WENDIGO GETTING AWAY!
No. You're not going anywhere.
Going somewhere?
Yes!
No.
- Yes. - No
- Yes.
Shut up!
Yes!
Thank you.
Do-see-Do!
Why don't you put that thing down, and we'll settle this like men?
Although I'll warn you, I boxed in law school!
Great warrior!
Yeah, it's my brother.
It's a nice suit.
We have to stop the train!
No Time! Must Jump!
John: I'm not leavin' these passengers! Dan: Help me unhook the cars!
Come on!
It's jammed! Give me a hand.
You hold.
John?
Hey, hold it right there!
I'm afraid I have to take you in.
You hear-You hear me?
Speak English don't you?
By the authority granted in me by the State of Texas,
I'm hereby arrestin' you!
You alright there, little brother?
Fine.
Just takin' this man into custody.
Uh-huh...
He was on that train for a reason, Dan!
Probably....
What's your crime, boy?
Indian.
And a man in the eyes of the law,
Throw me your cuffs.
Whatever you say, little brother.
It's nothing personal.
Dan!
John?
But, they said there was an accident and someone fell off the train ...
Actually, it was me.
Dan's fine.
Saved the day, same as usual.
Oh my God, your face...
Come here.
It's good to see you.
What's it been, 9 years?
8 since you stopped writing.
We were just kids back then.
Well, he takes good care of you, I see.
Yeah, in his way.
Well, spends most his time in Indian territory these days.
Indian territory?
Doesn't sound like Dan, doing what?
Well, whatever it is, he doesn't talk to me about it.
So, you got a place to stay?
I, no, not yet.
Well, you should stay with us, at Willow Creek.
I don't know.
Oh, god, look at you, city boy.
Why would you ever want to come back here?
It's my home.
Who are you?
Danny, this is your Uncle John.
You look just like your dad did, when he was your age.
They're going out again.
Tonto chanting...
He deserves a trial, Dan.
Two Rangers are dead, ain't gettin' no trial.
Then I'm coming with you.
The law looks a lot different on the ground, little brother.
Law doesn't include vengeance, no matter where you're standing.
"Wherever men unite in society, they must quit the laws of nature, and ass..."
"...and assume the laws of men, so that society, as a whole, may prosper."
That's John Locke's "Treatises of Government."
Never thought to hear the likes of it in Colby!
Mr. Cole, my brother John. New County prosecutor.
Latham Cole?
It's an honor, sir, I read about you during the war.
John is educated Man, like yourself.
Well, let's try not to hold that against him.
You going after Cavendish?
Collins here picked up a trail, used to track for our father.
Can he ride?
Well enough.
Well, you see to it.
Railroad promised these people a hanging.
I didn't know the railroad was in the business of keeping promises.
Simple task.
Collect the prisoner, deliver him to his execution.
If you are not up to that, Mr. Reed,
I'll find someone who is.
You should think about stayin' in town, for a few days,
The Comanche are restless.
They're always ruthless,
But they keep to their side of the river, and I keep to mine.
Besides, fences won't put themselves up.
That's my job.
I'm not asking you to be happy about it.
I am happy.
I'm happy with the life you provide, I just...
That new?
Matches your eyes.
Alright.
I expect you to be baggin' squirrels by the time I get back.
Like old times, huh?
Thank you.
Alright, Mr. Prosecutor
Let's see how your "Due Process" fairs on the trail.
This's dad's.
I hereby Deputize you a Texas Ranger.
I can't help you with them clothes.
Indians call that the "Spirit Horse."
Comes to take you to the other side.
You can't scare me with your ghost stories anymore, Dan.
Since when did you start wearing Indian jewelry, anyway?
Since my kid brother became a lawyer.
Yeah, the world needs lawyers, same as it does Rangers.
I reckon so.
That's a nice hat, by the way. They didn't have a bigger one?
He missed you.
Could've fooled me.
You smell like a distillery already.
Steadies the hand.
Did you even sleep last night?
You know me, Johnny!
Never been one to resist a little western hospitality.
"Reds." What's this, like, dancing?
Yeah, Dancing! - chortles...
Could go by the flats...
Lose a day, maybe day and a half.
What is it?
No cover.
What're you thinkin' Dan?
Figure Collins should go take a look.
If he can stay in the saddle.
John, come here!
No. I don't believe in them, You know that.
Butch Cavendish don't care one way or the other,
I'll take my chances.
Stay close. Come on.
Where the hell's Collins?
Ambush!
Can't see 'em!
AIN'T GOT NO COVER!
RIDE, RIDE!
Damn!
RIDE, HARDER!
GIVE ME YOUR HAND, JOHNNY, GIVE ME YOUR HAND!
NO!
No, Dan! Dan! no, no, no!
You shouldn't have come back, John.
-No, it's ok, it's ok! -I messed up...
No, no you're ok! You're ok, you're going to be fine!
She always loved you.
Take care of her for me.
You're coming with me, come on, come on!
It's been a long time, Ranger.
You've looked better.
Heard them boys in Tulsa took a real shine to you!
How hard, ain't you?
A year you took from me, in that sweatbox.
You take something from me,
be damned sure
I'm going take something from you!
Deal nice with the old friend.
That's not right.
It can't be right!
They're dead?
All dead?
Even Dan?
Dan very dead.
But he's the lone ranger!
Would've been much easier, I agree.
How'd you get out of jail, anyway?
Would you stop feeding that bird!
It's not alive, you know.
Awaiting spirit to return.
Not same thing.
Greetings, noble spirit Horse!
No, no!
No no, please, you make mistake.
Half-wit, wet-brain...
You come.
Him, Great warrior.
Spirit Horse,
you have travelled far.
Obviously very fatigued.
I understand.
You come, come come.
Him strong brother!
Want him, Bring him back!
Tonto speaking Comanche to spirit horse...
If you are going to sneak up on an Indian, best to do it downwind!
Why're you talkin' to that horse?
My grandfather spoke of a time when animals could speak.
When you get them alone,
some still do.
But I can not decide whether This horse is stupid
or pretending to be stupid.
Tricky.
Why am I covered in dirt?
Because I buried you.
Why am I alive?
Horse says you are spirit walker,
A man who has been to the other side and returned.
A man who can not be killed in battle.
Horse definitely stupid.
Those my boots?
He cut out his heart?
What kind of a man does something like that?
Not a man. An evil spirit.
Born in the empty spaces of the desert.
with a hunger,
that cannot be satisfied,
and the power to throw nature out of balance.
My people call this spirit "Wendigo"
I am Tonto, of the Comanche,
last of the Wendigo hunters.
What do you want with me?
A vision told me that a great warrior, and spirit walker,
will help me on my quest.
I would have preferred someone else.
Your brother, perhaps.
He would've been good.
But who am I to question the great Father
All I know is that a man killed my brother
and I'll see him hang for it!
Then you will need this.
A bullet?
Silver bullet.
Silver made him what he is.
and so it will return him to the Earth.
Right...
You know what?
I would like to thank you,
for everything that you've done for me,
but I should get back.
I too
seek the Wendigo Butch Cavendish. - Good.
I was a prisoner on the train,
the way a coyote stalks buffalo!
After hunting 26 years, I had my prey
until you interfered!
Actually, I think I saved your life.
So we're even.
What the hell was that for?
Bird angry.
Yeah. You know what? I can't help you.
or your bird.
Where you go?
Into town to form a posse.
I would not do that, Keemosabee. - Yeah?
There was a gun waiting for Cavendish on the train.
8 men rode into canyon,
I dig 7 graves...
Collins!
He's known us since we were kids!
You find traitor,
You find the man who killed your brother!
It's my brother's vest...
Eyes cut where the bullets that killed him.
From the great beyond, he will protect you.
and the ones you love.
You want me to wear a mask!
Men you seek think you are dead, keemosabee.
Better to stay that way.
Alright.
But if we ride together, it's to bring these ment to justice,
in a court of law. Is that understood?
Justice is what I seek, keemosabee.
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen. Behold the human deformities!
I'm looking for a man.
I bet.
-Got money? - Of course!
Where did you get it?
Made a trade.
With a dead man?
Hard bargain.
So, are all these women, professionals?
Sickness of greed is strong...
What about her?
Oh, yes, her too!
So, how do you know all this?
Vision said it would be so.
Hi Tonto!
Couple of freaks here to see you.
Just let me do the talking.
Ma'am.
What's with the mask?
Second thought, don't answer that.
One thing you learn in my business
killers, butchers, warheroes, railroaders...
Every man has his thing.
Railroaders?
You a friend of Mr. Cole?
Oh no, not Mr. Cole.
No, by all reports, Mr. Cole is, ah,
Well, he is no longer guided by the same pleasures as other men.
Mr. Cole gelding!
Come to think of it, there was talk of an incident during the war.
No free rides, gentlemen!
Scrimshaw!
- Ivory. - I want to touch!
Not if you favor your hand!
We're looking for a man named Collins. He's a tracker, speaks Indian.
Never heard of him.
See, well...
Coming in here we did happen to notice a number of fairly serious health code violations.
It is a house of sin...
Yes, well, one with evidence of livestock on the premises
no clearly marked fire escapes,
And a fairly sinister jar of pickles on the bar.
Pickles?
Unrefrigerated!
- I would hate to have to shut ya down. - You want to shut down the railroad?
- Yes. - No!
Well, then you have a problem, because there ain't no railroad
without girls like mine doing the "Heavy Lifting"
Homer help these morons find the door.
Wendigo getting away!
What the hell's he talkin' about?
Nothing, it's an Indian thing...
Man who has taste for human flesh.
Butch Cavendish
that's right.
Why didn't you just say so?
Collins was here about a week ago with a lawman.
Ranger like you, matter of fact.
Said his name was Reed.
Dan Reed?
-Had themselves a hell of an argument. -What about?
Something they found in the desert
Fightin' over this.
Do not touch rock!
Rock cursed.
Injun's right. Worthless 'round here.
But, get it to San Francisco, they pay a thousand dollars, cash!
I'll be on the first train west, to retire.
Do you have cat?
I did.
I thought he'd be an improvement on the last man in my life, but maybe it's me.
Red, we got trouble!
What are you doing?
Comanche gesture respect, taste 'nother man's drink.
Oh, right. Thank you.
I'm afraid I will have to bring our little visit to a close.
Some of my clientele don't take kindly to an Injun on the premises.
He has as much right to be here as anyone else.
No, not since the Comanche violated the treaty.
- Treaty? - You didn't hear?
They've been raidin' settlements up and down the river.
My God. Rebecca!
Fear of cat.
Better go out the back...
How do I thank you?
Make that animal pay for what he took from me.
Nature is indeed out of balance...
Come, must go!
Must go, drunken beast!
Just startin' my day Harlot!
May I help you?
Where are they?
I don't know who you mean.
Ma'am, I believe I've located your...
cat.
Ma'am ...
Get him!
There's the redskin!
What the hell is wrong with these people?
Blood has been spilled Keemosabee. Soon, rivers run red.
Let's call it a night, Joe.
Yes, ma'am.
Come on Danny.
Get yourselves inside!
Dan, come on.
- Elore, get the shutters. - Yes, madam.
Get water on the fire.
Indian savages...
Was not Indian.
The hell it wasn't!
Indians make trade.
Leave him alone.
I said leave him alone!
Indians, like coyote. Kill and leave nothing to waste.
Tell me Keemosabee,
What does the white man kill for?
This one's nice, ain't it?
I love me some aqua-marine.
Not an Indian.
This ain't what it looks like, mister.
I just like them pretty things.
Rebecca and Danny, where are they?
Tell me where they are or I'll let the Indian do what he wants to you.
What does he want to do?
What the hell's going on?
- There's a Ranger! - What are you talking about?
He got some lunatic Indian with him,
He was going to violate me with a duck foot!
Shoot anything that comes out.
Go for horse keemosabee.
I cover you.
Why don't I cover you?
You have been to the other side, spirit walker.
Cannot be killed.
Alright.
But we take them alive.
Texas Ranger, put down your weapons
and step out with your hands up!
It's dark!
Spirit Walker.
See what'd I tell ya?
Go around back.
What's with the mask?
What is it?
This horse, It can fly?
Don't be stupid.
Hold it right there!
Rebecca and Danny.
Where are they?
Comanche don't take no prisoners.
Just scalps.
Isn't that right, boy?
I will take the Spaniard.
I haven't fired a gun in 9 years!
Might want to keep that to yourself, keemosabee.
Great shot!
It was supposed to be a warning shot.
In that case, not so good...
What?
Nothing.
That was my brother's.
Comanche... Very sacred.
How am I supposed to find Rebecca and Danny now?
Tracks lead North.
Old American Indian country.
That's 400 square miles of rock and desert!
Even an Indian can't track through that.
We follow horse, keemosabee.
Keemosabee... Why do you keep calling me that, what's that mean?
"Wrong brother."
Right.
My husband will kill you for this.
That'd be a trick.
Last time I saw your husband he was drowning in his own blood.
We got compny.
Where's Barrett and Jesus?
They killed 'em.
Street brawl.
Fired one bullet, and they... they didn't stand a chance...
Better start talking straight, Frank.
Now, who killed 'em?
It was a Ranger, Butch.
A Lone Ranger.
The Rangers are dead.
The Ghost of Dan Reed! He's coming fer you.
You shouldn't have done what you did...
Shut up!
Let him come.
I killed him once... Won't have to answer for it when I kill him again.
Scared, aren't ya?
You should be.
Hey, Collins
You know what the Injuns call this place?
Valley of Tears.
Please don't do this, please don't do it!
That's far enough...
Don't look at me.
He loved you.
Said don't look at me!
Run.
Please, run!
Danny, come on!
Mom!
Why would Cavendish make it look like the Comanche violated the treaty?
It has to do with something with what my brother found in the desert.
Perhaps they want to make it look like Comanche violate treaty...
That's very helpful, thank you.
What is it?
Horse dead.
I can see that.
Now what?
We're lost aren't we?
I knew it, "Just follow the horse," That was your idea?
but you can't talk to a dead horse, now can ya?
Know what? Let me try.
Hello.
If you could just point us in the right direction, we'll take it from here.
What's that?
NOTHING!
Well, that's just fantastic, isn't it? Now, Cavendish is out there somewhere,
doing god knows what to Rebecca and Danny
and I'm going to die here in the desert with you and that ridiculous BIRD!
The woman, Rebecca
You will fill her with child, no?
What?
No!
That's my brother's wife!
When you were on the ''other side,''
You spoke of her in your vision.
Lack of oxygen can cause a brain to hallucinate,
everyone knows that.
Yes, but you did not speak of her as the wife of your brother...
Well, she's his widow, now.
So it is better she live The rest of his life alone
Yes, no...
Look, that just isn't done.
You wouldn't understand...
Because I am a savage!
Would you stop?
You can't track, if you could we wouldn't be out here in the first place!
What is that?
Track!
That's impossible.
Train track!
You're lost, aren't you?
Train tracks?
I thought you were in Indian territory...
Yes...
Comanche Border
Let the Comanche make no mistake,
We will not be dissuaded from our task.
From here on, all treaties with the Indian nation are null and void.
We will be at Promontory Summit ahead of schedule,
3 days from today.
Now go ahead and put that in your paper.
Sir,
arrived last night.
I had to dip in the petty cash...
Put it somewhere safe.
Where would that be?
Use your imagination!
I understand you have an Indian problem.
Right on time.
I thought you said I couldn't get shot!
No,
said you could not be killed. -Oh...
- Apache? - Comanche.
Well that's good, right?
Not so much.
What are they doing?
Death dance.
They are preparing for war with the white man.
War?
Wait...
- Is that thing sterile? - Yes, I make urine on it.
What?
War? But the Comanche didn't attack the settlements!
White man does not know this...
But, you're going to tell them... I mean, you did tell them, right?
My name's John Reed.
and I know that you didn't raid those settlements.
If you let me go, I can prove it.
There doesn't have to be a war, understand?
No, no, of course you don't...
Mmmm, good, good!
Me, Spirit Walker, from "Great Beyond"
Hunter of Wendingo, and...
other things...
Comanche gesture of respect?...
What's with the mask?
What?
Tonto told you these things?
That's right.
And he told you to wear the mask?
That's funny?
Very funny!
Tonto's a Comanche.
He's one of you.
No more.
What do you mean?
His mind is broken.
He is a man apart...
Many moons ago,
The boy found 2 white men in the desert.
He brought them to his village to be healed.
When they found silver in the river,
they asked the boy where it came from...
In exchange for a cheap pocketwatch from Sears Roebuck,
The boy showed them where the river begins,
where they found more silver
than any white man had ever seen.
They took what they could carry.
But they wanted to keep the place a secret,
so they could, one day, return.
The boy could not live with what he'd done,
So he decided the men were possessed,
by evil spirits in the silver,
He called it "Wendigo."
Like the ghost stories we tell our children.
And he made a vow:
When he found these 2 men,
He would drain their blood into the soil of his ancestors,
so he could return to the tribe.
But he is too late. There is no more tribe to return to.
Our time is passed.
They call it ''progress''.
You are John Reed.
Brother of Dan.
Yes.
By this totem, your brother swore,
if we kept the peace, he would protect our land.
Now the cavalry cut down our children.
Like all white men, your brother lied.
No!
No, Dan was murdered.
And if you let me go, I'll keep his promise.
We have a deal?
Not so much...
My name come up?
Please! This is mistake! There doesn't need to be a war.
It makes no difference.
We are already ghosts.
Cavalry.
Let us bring the pure death from almighty god to the heathens!
Oh, thank god!
Civilization.
We'll just explain the entire situation and...
we'll get this whole misunderstanding cleared up.
The United States Army!
Finally, someone who will listen to reason...
Over Here!
Wait!
Perhaps they didn't see us.
Oh no,
They will be back any minute now...
It could be worse.
Worse?
How could this be worse?
Could develop an itch,
on your nose.
I'm not talking to you anymore.
What is that?
You hear it too?
I was hoping it was in my head.
This is worse!
Nature is most definitely,
out of balance...
Hello again.
Any chance you could...
Attaboy! Yes! Thank you.
Ok, go!
Thank you.
Going, keemosabee?
Uh-huh.
- To find Rebecca and Danny? - Yep.
- To capture Cavendish, - That's right.
- Where the river begins. - Exactly!
It is a good day to die.
Yeah, well, same to you.
Hyah, come on.
Where the river begins?
You know where that is, don't you?
Where the river begins...
Sorry Butch!
It was an accident ...
Um, I didn't mean it.
What the hell is that damned noise?
Sorry Butch, they say they won't go inside no more.
The ancient spirits or some damn thing they say they causin' the cave-ins.
He the one doin' the talkin'?
That's right.
Anybody else want to negotiate?
No?
They don't even speak English, Butch.
I think they understood.
Now go show 'em there's nothin' to be afraid of.
I HAVE TO ASK TWICE?
I, I been thinkin',
Why don't we just take what we can carry,
and get out of here?
I mean, hell, we're already rich!
Right?
Scraps?
Yeah...
You think I waited 20 years for SCRAPS?
-I'll take all of it, every damn piece! -I'm sorry!
Now get in there, 'fore I put a hole in you!
Sorry.
Get in there.
FRANK!
Ray, Skinny,
Go get him.
FRANK!
It can't be!
The Rangers is dead.
Where are they?
You're dead!
Rebecca and Danny.
If you hurt them, I swear to god, I'll make you pay!
To the full extent of the law...
I'll be damned!
Lawyer and a crazy Injun.
Tell me.
Had a nice smell on her.
Didn't she?
See, you don't spirit...
You're just a man in a mask.
No different than me.
Finish him.
No.
This isn't justice.
Justice...
is what a man must take for himself.
I can't believe that.
I won't.
Wendigo cut out brother's heart,
Where is brother's justice?
I'm not a savage.
You are not a man.
I will do it.
Wait.
You keep me from my destiny once,
it will not happen again.
Now Wendigo must die.
There's no such thing as a Wendigo!
You made it up.
Like you make up everything.
You sold out your whole village for a watch.
And now you're an outcast.
You're banned apart, you're a messed up little kid who couldn't live with what you did.
There is no such thing as cursed silver,
or spirit walker, for that matter.
I'm not like you.
I have a tribe.
You have nothing. Like me.
You're wrong.
Go back to your tribe, white coward.
I do not need you.
Look at me.
See the face of my people, as you die.
I knew I could count on you, councellor.
Shut up.
Where am I?
Drink.
Feel better.
Your tactics have been most effective, Captain.
With the natives in retreat, we'll be in Promontory Summit ahead of schedule.
Believe me, what they have done to the settlements, we have given back tenfold!
Tenfold.
Danny, I told you, take it easy on the corners and press down on the straightaway.
It's just a toy.
Come here, Danny.
I want to show you something.
Since the time of Alexander the Great,
No man has travelled faster than the horse that carried him...
Not anymore.
Imagine,
entire continent, connected by iron rail.
That's fuel for our cities, metals for our factories,
food for the masses.
Whoever controls this,
controls the future.
Power that makes Emperors and Kings
look like fools.
You mean it's mine?
It could be, son.
Could be all yours.
Rebecca, feeling better?
Look what Mr. Cole got me, Momma!
Danny.
Well, it was the least I could do, after what you've been through.
You, ah, should consider yourself a lucky woman, Mrs. Reed.
Had Mr. Cole not come along when he did,
who knows
- what manner of violations might have transpired- - Captain, Captain!
Now, Please, the Boy!
We are indebted to you.
Oh, no, it is I who is indebted,
Ever since the war, I prayed that god might send me
a family that I could care for.
Now he has.
Wait.
There's one left.
I'm sorry?
a Ranger!
The Ranger's still alive.
No, ma'am. My troop has found 7 graves.
So, perhaps, when you fell and hit your head,
If it there is a Ranger still alive,
we'll scour the countryside until we find him.
I promise you that.
- Daddy! - Dan!
- We don't know who's out there. - Well, I intend to find out.
Wendell, take Mrs. Reed and her son to the supply car,
for their own safety.
What is it friend?
This is the man you've been looking for.
Butch Cavendish.
Just like one of those great lizards, buried in the desert.
Last of a dying breed.
That's enough.
I brought this man for justice.
Of course.
Soldier?
Just doing my job, Mrs. Reed.
You want to keep me in this room, you're going to have to shoot me.
Is that part of your job?
Danny.
Now don't let him leave.
But he's just a boy!
That's right!
Oh, he's got a twitchy finger, too.
Stupid white man.
There were rumors, that sustained us, a lone Ranger, a masked man...
A ghost, some people said.
And now, here you are,
flesh and blood.
No civilized society has a place for a masked man.
Of course, not.
How can I thank you for what you've done?
You can stop this war, before it's too late.
The Comanche didn't attack those settlements. It was Butch Cavendish and his gang.
All for this.
Butch Cavendish,
one man,
everything I hate about this country.
No sense of the common good,
no vision.
Come to think of it, not unlike your brother Dan.
Men like that can't accept what we know to be true.
Man can't stay the same, with the world evolving around him.
Remember me?
A man can't choose his brother, can he?
It's almost as if his brother chooses him.
You see, that's what we are.
Me and Butch: Brothers.
Born in the desert,
all those years ago.
And now you've come back.
Train tracks.
That's what Dan found in Indian territory, isn't it?
He knew there was going to be a war, and he wouldn't go along with it, so you had him killed.
Like I said,
"no vision."
Stop this train.
Oh, there's no stopping this train, John.
I think you know that.
Danny!
You're not my daddy.
Put the gun down, son.
Where's my daddy?
He's dead, Danny.
- He killed him. - Shut up.
Listen to me, Danny, remember me. It's your Uncle John.
You trust me, don't you Danny?
OK, look Danny, I'm going to put my gun away, okay?
Nice and slow.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Shoot him, son.
Danny!
Is my daddy dead?
Is he?
Just put the gun down.
Please.
Now, just put the gun down.
Captain,
arrest these men!
This man is a common criminal, trespassing on railway property.
The Comanche never raided any settlements.
They staged the attacks so they could violate the treaty!
We've heard enough.
Captain, you represent the United States Government, you do not work for this man!
Captain,
They started this war!
Well, if what you say is true, that would mean that I attacked the Comanche for no reason!
That's right, Captain.
Slaughter of the innocents.
Their blood on your hands.
Tenfold.
Are you capable of that?
Well, the way I see it,
these men are with the railroad,
So the question is,
Who the hell are you?
My god!
Out here, it's just rock.
But, put it on a train, it's priceless.
What could you buy with all of that?
A country, Captain.
A great country, for which our children will thank us.
Get these Chinamen out of here!
Detail, Halt!
Order, Arms!
Didn't you hear me, Chinaman?
I said get out.
Port, Arms!
Please don't do this.
You'll take care of us, like you said.
You don't have to do this.
Load!
I ain't going to tell you again!
The hell is that?
Gas!
That's gas!
- What does it mean? - Get out of here.
It's going to blow!
Present.
I was in Ghettysburg.
12,000 casualties before lunch.
You know what I learned in all that carnage?
Nothing is accomplished,
without sacrifice.
Leave her alone.
Nice and easy.
Gas!
What the hell?
Gas, Gas!
Ready.
I'll going to have to teach you about respect, aren't I, son? -No!
Aim.
Fire!
What the hell just happened?
Get the train moving.
Attack!
Hold on, keemosabee.
Tonto?
- What was that? - No reason for concern...
John!
- Rebecca, I'm coming for you! - John!
Lord, save us!
Faster, now.
Form a firing line!
Hold your positions, damn it!
Hold.
Steady.
For god
and for country,
Fire at will!
Tonto, what is that?
Now, must you jump!
Left or right?
Left.
Kerosene?
What are you trying to do, Blow up the whole mountain?
Trust me, these two have a hard time stayin' dead.
Hold the line!
Mr. Tonto?
You mean they killed all of them?
The Indians, the settlers, Dan, for silver?
You were right.
There is no justice.
Cole controls everything.
The Railroad, the cavalry,
everything.
If men like him represent the law, I'd rather be an outlaw...
That is why
you wear the mask.
Something very wrong with that horse.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We are here today, to celebrate a dream.
Now, I'd like to introduce the man who made that dream a reality.
Chairman of the TransContinental Railroad Corporation -
- Mr. Louis Haverman the third. - Thank you.
But, I can not take credit alone. No Sir.
The working men before you, deserve your applause.
As does one man in particular,
and a more dedicated, loyal employee, the railroad could not ask for!
Mr. Latham Cole.
Come.
Mr. Cole,
An testament of our thanks.
You missed something.
Where'd you get the explosives?
I told you.
No you didn't!
But, you had a plan, I mean, he didn't get away with it.
We had plan.
It was good plan.
This is a damn bank robbery!
Oh, Mr. Haverman, if you and the other shareholders would like to follow me, I have a little surprise for you.
Oh, my.
What was that?
Tunnelling for supply routes, nothing to be concerned about.
This way, gentlemen.
Bring the girl.
He's coming for you.
Just like Frank said.
What you got makes them Reed boys so hot under the collar anyway?
Maybe I'll have a taste and find out...
The men around this table,
represent the finest families in our country,
as well as controlling interest in the Transcontinental Railway Corporation.
Hear!
What you can not know,
is that over the past 6 months I have leveraged a postion
which will make me the majority shareholder,
when the company is listed Monday morning, on the New York City Stock Exchange.
In essence, gentlemen, you work for me.
- Have you lost your mind? - Do you have any idea of the cost?
Each of one of those freight cars contains 4 and 1/2 tons of the purest, raw silver.
When it reaches the bank in San Francisco, that's 65 million dollars.
It's what you might call a hostile takeover.
You can keep the watch.
Have you checked the undercarriage?
- Check it again. - Yes, sir.
See you Red!
Can I be of some assisstance to you, madam?
Seems I have a run in my stocking.
Ivory!
Hurry up with them grapes!
Shhh...
Make trade?
Hey boy.
Boy, I'm talkin' to you!
Hey, you can't leave that here.
Mr. Cole's pickles.
Take it up wit him.
This is an outrage!
I, for one, am not going to sit here, and negotiate with one of my employees.
Then let's get down to it, shall we?
AH! My ass!
Gentlemen,
the Chairman has had to take a sudden leave of absence.
Any nominations?
I nominate Mr. Latham Cole.
I accept.
It's magnificent.
So clean.
You want to touch it?
Oh, yes.
Attention!
About face!
Everyone wants to touch it.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Robbery.
We don't have no money here, boy!
Train robbery.
A little higher...
How high does it go?
Almost there...
Uh, Mr. Cole...
They're stealing my train.
Get the horses.
A little higher!
Fall out, what're you waiting for?
To the engine!
Stop that train.
Shoot him, you idiot.
- No, no, Danny's in there. - That's an order!
Hyah!
John!
Get me close!
Hey, in there, he's on the roof!
How many times do I have to tell you, to kill that Ranger?
I told you he'd come.
Adios, Councillor!
Dance, monkey, dance!
Danny.
Butch Cavendish!
Let her go.
If you insist!
Go ahead.
John?
She tends to land on her feet!
John!
What you going to do, Councillor?
Shoot me?
That's right.
Guess I cut out the wrong brother's heart...
Don't tell me, you boxed in law school!
What the hell?
Matter of fact, I did!
Where is girl?
What? Where's the silver?
End of the line.
We've been here before, haven't we?
Easy.
Where'd you say that train was headed?
The future?
Well, this here train, she goin' straight to hell!
You know somethin' Butch? I believe you're right.
Enjoy the ride!
Hey!
- Wrong brother? - Not today.
Time's up, Indian.
Uncle John.
Pretty soon, no one will even know you people were here.
I'm a spirit walker!
I can't miss.
All these years, I think you are Wendigo.
But, no.
You are just another white man.
Who are you?
Bad trade!
You let him get away?
No.
The bridge...
What bridge?
Oh, my!
Bad trade...
Ladies and gentlemen,
as chairman of the Transcontinental Railroad,
I'd like to express gratitude to this masked man,
this, Lone Ranger.
A small token of our thanks...
There'll be plenty more where that came from...
It's always nice to have a lawman on the side of progress.
It's time to take off the mask, son.
Not yet.
I can't stay.
I know.
If that badge ever starts to weigh on you,
You know where to find us.
The train is headed west. There's nothing holding me here anymore.
It's my home.
You're not a boy anymore, Danny.
Your daddy'd be proud.
Take care of your momma.
I thought I'd call him Silver.
Silver.
It is a good name.
You know it isn't a trade unless both parties agree?
And who'd really trade a watch for some birdseed?
Bird can not tell time, keemosabee.
Keemosabee, yeah, about that...
Look I was thinkin', if we're going to be outlaws, I going to need a better name.
I was thinking "Mask of Justice''?
No!
Or what about "The Lone Rider of-"
No!
You know what Tonto means, in Spanish?
I guess I should be heading home.
Home?
It was nice to meet you, Mr. Tonto.
So,
the Wendigo,
nature out of balance,
the masked man,
It's just a story, right?
I mean, I know he's not real,
Is he?
Up to you, keemosabee.
Never take off the mask!
Hi-ho, Silver, away!
Don't ever do that again!
Sorry. Ha!
