Not can be white man. Not can be alone. Red hawk be indian. Make strong fight. Tonto, look. [gunfire] whats going on here . You dont need that gun, sheriff. Im sure this will explain. Show him, tonto. So thats it. This isnt the first time that white men have disguised themselves as indians to stir up trouble or to start a war. Sure. Now i can see who they are. Curly, idaho, pasco, skinner. Whose idea was it . Yours, cassidy, kilgore . They wont talk, sheriff. Weve tried. But theyre kilgore men. I went to abilene and learned a few things. Ramirez didnt quit. He was killed. Pete ramirez . I think if it was an indian who started the stampede that killed your father, it was this kind of an indian. A kilgore man. What now, sheriff . Im going to see mr. Kilgore. Youll be gunned down. Ill take that chance. [badge clatters] this is no time to throw away your badge. Its the time to wear it. What goods a badge in this town . Can i make up a posse and go after him . He owns the town and everybody in it. Who would be the prosecutor against kilgore . Who would be the judge . Who would be the jury . And what do you aim to do with these buzzards . Theyll be out of here by morning. Im going to keep them out of town until we need them. You cant go after personal revenge now, sheriff. Theres an indian war due to break at any moment. Then you say what to do. Weve got to expose kilgore and cassidy as troublemakers and place them behind bars. Thatll give us enough time to get evidence to convict them. But well need a federal warrant and a federal marshal to serve it. Washingtons a long way off. The governor is much closer. Just show him the silver bullet. What if the fighting should cut loose while im gone . The way things are now, itll only take one shot to start them off. Ill see that that shot isnt fired. You just get to the governor. Somehow, ill keep the ranchers and indians apart. Good luck, sheriff. [piano music] its come at last. The indians are gathering for war. Pack some things for lila. Im sending her away until this is over. Reece, it isnt safe out there. Be a lot worse here. If shes to go at all, nows the time. Reece, anything can happen out on that road. Welcome, will you please pack her things . Pack only her things . Youre not going. A womans place is with her husband. Why am i not going . I think you wouldnt be on the outside for one minute before youd be blabbing to everybody in creation about certain things that have happened around here. Just now, i dont think that would be so good for me. And you also think that this house is the more dangerous place. Well, now i know exactly where i stand. Now, you boys remember the way i told you to go. Dont change anything. Lila. Lila, wait. I want you to wear this. Mommy, thats your very best. Oh, baby. Why do i have to go . Why cant i stay here if theres gonna be excitement . Because i know whats best for all of us. All right, boys. Go ahead. Thump thump thump [sobs and whispers] my baby. My baby. You you thats my baby my baby. [childrens voices taunting] [speaking native language] angry horse. Its spoken of everywhere. Red hawk is a sick man. And angry horse, who wishes to become chief, shows his strength by making war on children. The birds talk of it. The animals in the forest laugh at angry horse. Is red hawk so weak that angry horse can do as he wishes . Or is angry horse obeying red hawks commands . Red hawk not like bring white child here. Then why do you keep her here . Let me take her away. Red hawk no more tell what do. Red hawk old. No more fight. Angry horse not old. Better angry horse be chief. Always the young buffalo wishes to kill the old buffalo and take his place. And he does kill the old buffalo because he has youth and strength. But has he the wisdom to lead the herd . To keep it out of danger . I say angry horse has not the wisdom. He cannot be the chief of a tribe that wishes to live in peace. I will fight angry horse to prove he is not worthy. [all talking] this white child must belong to the winner. [all talking] a squaw can fight with weapons. [people clamoring] a chief must be strong in heart, in his hands. I do not need weapons to fight men who make war on children. [both grunting] [dramatic music] [horse neighing] [crying] help him. He must fight alone. [horse neighing] splash [horse whinnies] red hawk, will you once again call me friend . [people murmuring] shorty, shake your hoof up to the circle o. Oscar, joe branchs place. Dave, bob bensons. That takes care of the ranchers. Powder, take four or five of the boys into town. Knock on all the doors. Tell em whats busted loose. Right. No, not connor. I want him and goss to come with us. Us . But i thought we dont ask questions. Fresno, you take the town. Now, lets get it straight, boys. We all meet at pilgrims crossing. We ride from there to the reservation together. Nobody rides ahead. Now listen, we cant go in there shooting the way id like to. First, weve got to find out what theyve done with my little girl andif shes still alive how to get her away from them. And once thats settled, we do a job thats been put off too long. And that means wherever you see a redskin, pour it in. All right, boys. Ride. [triumphal music] were going by way of Spirit Mountain. Thats the long way around. Well make it worthwhile. Were gonna pick up some dynamite. [crying quietly] oh, my baby. Where is everybody . We rode right in. They took all the guns and rode away. Oh, darling. I thought you were. [footsteps approach] dont ever be afraid of him. Hes my friend. Lila, hes an outlaw. Not an outlaw, mrs. Kilgore. Please believe your daughter. I am a friend. Angry horse wanted to kill me, but he wouldnt let him. And then he made all the indians promise not to fight, no matter what. Theyll have to fight. Theyve no choice. My husbands men are gathering the ranchers right now to lead them to the reservation. Gathering where . At pilgrim crossing. Lila, i know how brave you are. Are you too tired to go on being brave . What do i have to do . Mrs. Kilgore, if your husband makes that attack, no ranch in this territory will be safe. Its best if the both of you go to the mission church. Its a long run and not easy. Certainly not easy for you, mrs. Kilgore. Ill survive. Oh, you just depend on me. If anything happens. If anything happens, ill protect you. And its about time. You hurry and pack your things. I cant ask a wife to inform on her husband. But if theres anything you can tell me, anything thatll help prevent this war, please let me know. He doesnt deserve any loyalty. Not from me or or lila. I can tell you this. He wont stop when he knows that shes safe. His intentions right along were to exterminate the indians, and he plans to do it now. But why . I dont know. Does he want their land . That was only at first. He would sit for hours, looking off at Spirit Mountain, thinking about the vast acres around it. And it made him angry that a thing within the reach of his eyes should belong to someone else, to indians. You say that was only at first. What is it now . The mountain. He wants to own Spirit Mountain. But why does he need the dynamite . Hes blasting up there. The indians hear it and think the mountain is talking. Perhaps hes closing up the passages that he and cassidy found. If he plans to put cattle on that land, they might wander into some of those old tunnels. The ancient tunnels of Spirit Mountain. I heard about them when i was a boy. The indians dont trespass on Spirit Mountain. But reece and cassidy do. And thats where they are right now. The ranchers are doing just as we feared. Theyre gathering now for a strike at the indian village. That plenty bad, kemo sabay. Kilgore has gone to Spirit Mountain for dynamite. Im going after him, tonto. You take mrs. Kilgore and her daughter to the mission church. Then follow me. Hurry it up. Everybodys at the crossing by now. They better be. Ill remember any man who stays away. We wont need em all anyway. We got enough stuff here to blow up the whole territory. Whos gonna lead this crazy mule . Thats what i want to know. Anything happens, whoevers close to him dont stand a chance. And it aint gonna be me. Get back to the ranch and pack your gear. Youre fired. You cant fire me, kilgore. Im working for whats in there. And you try and fire me from that. [gunshots] ill lead him. [gunshot] the next shots for that box of dynamite. Now throw down your guns. Who are you . I said drop em [cocks gun] powder, through the tunnel. Get up there behind him. Im reece kilgore. The indians have taken my daughter. Your daughter is safe, kilgore. Shes in red hawks village, and im using this dynamite to get her out of there. Red hawk let her go. Shes at the mission church. [heroic music] what are you, a renegade . A bandit . What kind of man are you, who sides with the indians against his own people . Whats your grudge against me . Im taking you in for murder, kilgore, for the murder of ramirez and sheriff kimberleys father. And now goss. [gunshot] [gunshot] lets get out of here. [horse neighs] [horse nickers] [horse nickers] water. Water. [horse whinnies] everybody here . Yep, the only way we can get at em right now is through that pass. All right. Lets go through it. Theyll know before we reach em. Now, look, if were gonna let blood, we got to be prepared to smell it. Now lets go. Hold it, kilgore. This wont get your girl out of there alive. Heres what we do. Me and my boys sneak in there at night and look around. Maybe we even get her free from them. And then we jump em in the dark. Youre not looking for a fight. I am. All right. Lets go. How many men at pilgrim crossing . Me not stop count but see many. Red hawk not have many gun. We dont want any gunplay. There mustnt be a fight. Tonto, pure silver. [mule braying] [horse neighing] look like mountain all silver. So thats why the mountains taboo. The legends were begun to keep people away. And thats what kilgore found out. Him be plenty rich man if he owned this. Hed be a king in this territory, tonto. Thats why he stands in the way of statehood. This whole territory would become his dooryard. He would found a dynasty, a dynasty of silver. But this belong to indian. And he has to get rid of them before he can seize it. And thats just what hes trying to do. [horse neighs] take him, tonto. Good boy, silver. This pack mule belongs to kilgore. What we do about kilgore . Him have many men and many gun. Heres something that could be worth more than 100 men. Well, looks like we havent got any choice. All right. Were gonna move in. Now, dont miss. [explosion] [horse neighing] [explosion] [horse neighing] tonto keep the indians back. [speaking native language] [explosion] [explosion] [horse neighing] there he is [gunshot] [gunfire] thats no good. Cassidy, go up there and get him. [gunshot] [explosion] [speaking native language] [explosion] [gunshot] [explosion] [triumphant music] im no sheriff now, paid by kilgore money. Im a United States marshal, appointed through the Governors Office and backed up by lieutenant craley here and his men. And im telling you, men, to get off this reservation. Youre violating a federal law. Youre trespassing. And if a single indian is killed, youll all stand trial for murder. Theyre holding my daughter in that village. Your daughters at the mission church, and ill bet you know it. We spoke to her, mr. Kilgore, to her and to your wife. And what about my three men they killed when they kidnapped lila . That can be handled without resorting to war. I think we know better out here how to handle the indians. Are we gonna stand for this outside interference . I say no you cant say anything, mr. Kilgore. Im carrying a federal warrant for the arrest of you and cassidy. Arrest, are you crazy . It says both your names here. The governor figured you wouldnt believe it. Thats why he sent along kimberley, youd better not be making a mistake. This is reece kilgore. Right. Thats his gun hand, cassidy. And among the things theyre charged with, theres the murder of pete ramirez. Why, you murdering, lying you told me ramirez quit. You can scratch my name off that warrant. Im not responsible for the private feuds of men who happen to work for me. [gunshot] hold your fire. I want that man alive. [gunfire] [gun clicks] [triumphant music] what about kilgore . Kilgore is dead. And thats it. First ramirez and now kilgore. Hell pay. Tonto, these weeks of rest have done her good. Hello. Youre looking very well. You were so right to insist we stay here until the trial. Its over, mrs. Kilgore. It wasnt much of a trial once cassidy decided to talk, although talking didnt save his neck. But you told me i might have to testify. Well, i figured this would be the best place for you. Yes. The padre has been so good to us. Such lazy people who come to visit me. They do nothing but sleep and eat. As for the little one, she forget her fear and hatred of the indian and plays games again. Ah, where little one now, padre . Come. I show you. As you predicted, there was a problem. She had been trained by her father to walk in his ways. She had his strength, but she was learning to imitate his weaknesses. And shes my little girl again. [laughter] were not going east. Were staying to manage the ranch. She loves it here. And im going to learn to love it too. And together, well make the kilgore name a good one. [rousing orchestral theme] [william tell overture plays] wait but i wanted him to stay. I wanted to thank him. When his work is finished, he rides away. But i wanted to see his face, to ask his name. You cannot see his face. He will wear the mask until there is no longer any need for it. And his name is the lone ranger. Heigho, silver away
