>> Hi-ho, Silver! >> A fiery horse with the speed of
light, a cloud of dust, and the hearty hi-ho, Silver. The Lone Ranger.
>> This nice country. Plenty peaceful.
>> There will be no peace here if McCarty comes back.
>> This place where him used to be bandit?
>> Tonto, about a mile down that way is an abandoned
mine. Used to be McCarty's headquarters before he was sent to prison.
>> That place called Black Rock Mine.
>> Why, yes! Now that the crook has escaped, he might head there again.
>> Me see man there this morning.
>> What did he look like?
>> Is not bandit. Is old prospector named Fred Neely.
>> Did he pack a gun? >> No, him peaceable feller.
>> That's no place for a peaceable man, if McCarty does
come back to this territory. It's my hunch, he's headed this way.
>> That not good for Fred Neely.
>> Nor for anyone else. Tonto, we'll have to catch
McCarty before he builds a new gang and causes more bloodshed.
>> And kill plenty men.
>> Papers are right, what they say about McCarty.
>> Them say he hold back in development of this entire region.
>> Yes and it's men like McCarty,
that frightened off Eastern capital. Ranchers and farmers, the plain people
who wanna build the West. We can't let him do that again.
>> We catch him, Kemosabe. I'm going down to the pass to watch for him. You
ride back to the mine. Tell that new
friend of yours, he'd better get out of there.
>> Me go tell him.
>> Three, four.
Get down. Get down off of that horse. I got a charge in there.
What do you wanna do, get killed? Get down off of that horse.
Come on, get back in this rock over here. Come on, hurry up in
there. It's a good thing you're a spry. Look out, here she comes. Eight, nine.
>> That why you lose head. >> Oh, must be that darned fuse. Homemade fuses, musta went out.
>> You wait, not safe to know.
>> Now, look Indian, I've been making fuses for years, and any time
that they don't go off by now, they ain't going off at all.
>> Stay down. Why you make blast in that place? Long time no gold there.
>> Listen, if I had saved every nugget that I took out of places
they said were played out, me and my granddaughter
would be fair rich. Okay. Well, I waited long enough.
>> No, better you stay away from there. That place once belong to bandit.
>> Well, it belongs to me now, cuz I filed a claim on it. Legal and proper.
>> Maybe him come back What you do then?
>> I'll sling them off my place, that's
what I'll do. Or I'll stick my granddaughter
on them. Boy, she could shoot the ears off
a caterpillar. Now leave it alone, I'm gonna walk.
No, look at you.
>> Where I? Hi, I feel all busted up. >> You'll be all right, only not move.
>> Pain. >> You find gold! >> I did?
>> Uh-uh, but look what kind.
>> Oh, that's crazy. Gold don't come already minted.
>> More, more, you look more. >> Jee-hosaphat! Nature's
gettin' more wonderful every day! >> No, bandit who stay here, him hide
this gold maybe. Now him come back this way. I don't know,
better me take you to doctor, than talk about gold
>> Just my luck to get a sheepherders clothes. I never
could stand sheep and now I smell like one of them.
>> You got rid of your prison outfit,
that's better than us. How do you know that Gold
is still where you left it? You've been away five years.
>> It's there.
>> Yeah, how do you know?
>> It's right there, buried in the rock. It'll still be
there when we get clothes and guns to take care it and
dig it out. I'm gonna take my share and go to
South America. >> Me, I always did wanna be a muy big ranchero.
>> I thought you were aching to join my gang?
>> Oh, I mean later. South America comes later after we pull a real
big job. That's a smart idea, Slim. You do that. Somebody's
coming. >> About time.
>> I can't see much of him.
>> What's to see? It's a man and that means clothes for whoever they fit.
>> It's a horse and wagon. That means the end of walking, and I wasn't built to
walk. Slim, you go down there and hide by side of the road, and grab that horse,
as soon as I shoot.
>> Bullseye.
>> It's too bad he didn't have more cash on him.
I reckon doctors never get rich. Nobody's gonna believe I'm a
doctor rich or poor, with all this grime on my face.
Gotta be some soap around here, I'll take that along too.
>> You can get one in town when you're buying us horses and clothes for me.
>> You think I'm
going into town without a six shooter, give it
here. You go in just as you are and
get us what we need. We'll keep the Colt
and rifle, sort of protection in case you get lost.
>> Maybe the doc is known in the town. Somebody might
recognize the clothes, the horse, the rig, somebody might recognize me.
>> It was five years since you was here, and
most of the time before that, you wore a mask.
>> Lots of things can happen
to me boys. The way you're doing this. What do you do if I don't come back?
>> Yeah, he can go straight to his hide out and grab all that gold for himself.
>> He won't. >> Why not?
>> Not as long as you know I'm alive. >> That's the way I like
it boys. Everybody knows how everybody feels, so everybody sticks together.
>> Yeah.
>> Howdy, miss. Mind taking a message to the Sheriff? I haven't time to stop.
>> Sheriff's out with the posse.
>> That's too bad. I wanted to let him know, just saw a
man down the road a ways. Looked like a convict, prison garb and all.
>> Well, that must be one of the men the
Sheriff's been looking for. There's been a big prison break.
>> Better tell somebody about it.
>> Sure will. It'll just about clean out the
town to make up another posse. Sheriff deputized a lot.
>> That's too bad. Maybe I should
buy myself a 6-shooter.
>> Maybe you'd better. You just passing through? >> You might call it that.
>> Drummer?
>> Doctor. Doctor Jones. >> Oh, well thank heavens.
>> Why?
>> Well, you're just as welcome as a gentle
rain. Granddad's mine caved in on him, and broke
pretty near, every bone in his body. We've just
been going plum loco trying to find a doctor.
>> No doctor in a town of this size?
>> Oh, Doc Finely passed away about a week ago.
>> Oh. Well, I just tapping along and kind of in a hurry!
>> You come and have a look at my
gramps. There's a doctor on his way in from
Three Pines, but gramps needs attention right away. Say,
that doctor might run around with that convict you saw!
>> I said I was in a hurry, business that can't wait.
>> Well, Gramps can't wait.
>> Sure he can! >> That cave in broke every rib.
>> Not half as bad as a bullet. You make
'em rest easy until that feller from Three Pines comes along.
>> We're not waiting,
we have you.
>> Say miss, you better put that thing down. You wear it
for shooting snakes and things, not to draw down on a man.
>> I'm gonna put a hole in your leg, if you don't see it my way, so just pick up
those lines there and move over. Gramps set off the
charge in the old McCarty hideout, and that's what did it!
>> Where? >> It's an old abandoned mine.
>> You can put that gun away, miss. You won't
need it.
>> Devil ego. Devil ego, them's the rock!
>> Better you not talk.
>> Now don't you worry. Don't you worry about a single solitary
thing. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. And so far
as anybody can see, he's got no mind to take Fred Neely.
So you're the doctor? Took you a long time. Where you from?
>> How's Gramps?
>> In pain, in terrible pain. Ella, you tell that Indian to
high tail out of that house, I don't like his looks. I
don't like the looks of any Indian. Don't you some times get
a feeling as though they're all down right foreigners. They look foreign.
>> Well, I'm very grateful to this one.
>> Doctor, he's the saddest mess as of 40
days of night and rain. Plum shattered inside and out.
>> Please excuse me Mrs. ***.
>> Just let me finish dear and I'll be on my way.
And don't you tell him it was his
own fault. Maybe it was, everybody warned him to
keep away from that outlaw place but he
wouldn't. Still and all, if the walls hadn't come
down who knows if the gold would have
still revealed just like a fiery sword as the
good book might say. Mrs. ***, will you
please let the doctor pass? Please come along, doctor.
>> Excuse me. What's all that gab about gold?
>> Gramps uncovered a cache, thousands of dollars. They say it must've belonged
to the old McCarty Gang.
>> Thank God it's off. Gotta tell Anna, how to take are of all the double eagles.
>> Gramps, you're more important than the gold. Lie still.
>> Where is it? >> What? >> The gold.
>> The gold here now. Me go back with sacks
and get it, bring it here. Gold belong to him.
>> Where is it?
>> Doc, never mind the gold. You have a patient here.
>> Yes. Yes, I guess
that's right.
>> Him doctor, but him not like doctor. Me see many doctors but him not like others.
>> In what way?
>> Not know, I only feel. >> You waited there until he left?
>> Him not want to go, he want to stay, maybe look for gold.
>> Tonto, you must be wrong.
>> Tonto not like him eyes. Him have eyes not like doctor, like wolf.
>> What about the doctor from
Three Pines, the one they were waiting for?
>> Him not come. Him too busy maybe.
>> Only a foolish man would argue against your
intuition, Tonto. We'll ride over to Neely's and investigate.
>> Kemosabe? >> Yes, Tonto?
>> This doctor, him tell girl he see convict.
>> But where?
>> On road, when him come near town. Him say tell Sheriff, but Sheriff not there.
>> Convict. And he didn't do anything about it, he just drove on?
>> Him not have gun. You think him see McCarty?
>> McCarty and his pals took the guard's
rifle when they escaped. If the doctor saw them
from the road, they certainly saw him, in which
case he wouldn't be alive to tell the story.
>> Then you think him see somebody else? >> Maybe.
>> This is what I did. I roped and hog tied him with six miles of bandages.
And boys, if that old jasper lives after my
doctoring, it'll be because he's just plain poison meat.
>> What's the girl like?
>> A girl. Carries a six gun and tries to
act like she's handy with it. You mad at her?
>> Next time I see her, I'm gonna take that gun
away from her, and shove it through her pretty white teeth.
>> You'd beat up a woman? >> Yeah.
>> A girl? >> Oh,
shut up, will ya.
>> No, I don't sit in no game like
this. Where I was raised, we don't beat up women.
>> They just raised you, to be a bandit and convict, huh?
>> When you jaspers quit flapping your jaws, I'd like to get after that gold.
>> That was a crazy thing to happen. We'd a got here one day sooner,
We would have that gold in our saddlebags. Got no right to it, it belongs to me.
>> To us. Where they keeping it, you find out?
>> Find out. They had me between
that gun-slinging female and the Indian. Both watching me, like I had my prison
uniform on. We're gonna find out right now, come on.
>> $23,000. Gramps, Gramps, can you hear me?
Please come in Indian. Well, you're
prowling around pretty late aren't you Indian?
>> Not late when people in trouble.
>> Oh Gramps? Gramps is getting along just fine.
>> Me bring friend who maybe fix him up good.
>> Oh, we already have a doctor. I don't think a medicine man would help any.
>> I'm no medicine man Miss Neely. >> No, it's clear who you are, you no
count crook. And I'm afraid Mrs. *** might have been right about you too.
>> Him not crook, him fight crook.
>> From behind a mask like a road agent?
>> Miss Neely, it isn't right that law and order
should have to fight from behind cover. But neither is
it right that there's anything but law and order in
the West. May I have a better look at him?
>> No.
>> I'm going to anyway Miss Neely, but I'd like your permission.
>> Him bad medicine for outlaw, but plenty good medicine for a sick man.
>> Tonto tells me you had
a doctor who is a little unusual. I'm only curious to see what he's done.
>> Well, I, I can't see any harm in looking.
>> Thank you, there's probably nothing wrong but I'd like..
>> What is it?
>> No doctor ever wound bandages like that.
>> Well, he said he was a doctor. He carried a doctors bag.
>> He must have stolen it, he couldn't bind a thumb. Lets
take the bandages off this man and doctor him. He been
cheated out of his last chance. Make another wet pack, a big one for his chest.
>> If I ever get my sights trained
on that ornery polecat who calls himself a doctor.
>> Tonto, the doctor is a fake. There's a good
chance he may be McCarty or one of his men.
>> Then why him say he see convict?
>> He may have said that to double cross his pals or to draw more men out
of town. One thing is certain, he'll come back here, and he'll come back here armed.
>> We wait for him?
>> No, Tonto, McCarty may have Evans and Walker with him. I don't
want any shooting in this house, or anywhere in town, for that matter.
>> Then what we do?
>> If he is McCarty, he'll come back
here for that gold. Wherever it goes, he'll follow.
>> Kemosabe.
>> We can't tell the girl about it, she's too sudden and has a temper.
>> You take gold away? >> Yes Tonto,
back to the mine. If this is McCarty we're dealing
with, he'll come after it. But if we're mistaken, the
real McCarty will show up very soon anyway, and dig
out his cash. I want to be there to meet him.
>> Tonto be there too?
>> No, there may be trouble here. >> I've been trying to think of a pretty speech to
tell you how beholding I am, but all I can say is thank you and much obliged.
>> Don't worry Miss Neely, we'll get our payment. You must remember,
that old wounds don't heal very quickly. He's lost more blood than he can afford.
>> But he has a chance?
>> Yes, I'd say a mighty good one. Now, with
that out of the way, I'll just help myself to these.
>> What's the matter Miss Neely?
>> Well, I should have known. You're just another varmint,
both of you. I should have known no honest man has
to stop behind a mask. Alright, take it, it's your
pay for whatever good you did with my granddad. I don't
owe you anything now, take it and get. Both of you
go. Go on, get, I can't stand you under my eyes.
>> You do as I told you and meet me at Black Rock Mine.
>> Yes, I'm here.
>> Ella, they took the gold. They took it, Ella.
>> I know Gramps, I know. Now you just be still.
>> I know, but they took it.
>> So what if they did? We're still better
off than they are. Anything's better than being a thief.
>> Uh-huh.
>> Now you just go to sleep, that's right. Go to sleep.
>> Whoa. Here it is.
>> Coming up like this in broad days, spend half a
night fixing a wagon wheel. Why couldn't you get us all horses?
>> You've been talking about that a hundred times. What's the difference? We're here.
>> You reckon that gold is still in there?
>> If it isn't, it'll be back there, by the time we get through with that girl.
>> You know how I feel about that.
>> I know how you feel about a lot of things. We don't
have to touch the girl. She'll jump fast enough, if we touch her grandfather.
>> You. You Indian, what are you doing up there? You
sneaking redskin, hiding up there like that! Come out of that hayloft!
>> That's the Indian.
>> You hear me, you painted savage? You hear me talking to you! You come down!
Crawling around like a snake in the dark, looking for people to scalp and
houses to burn, hey? Huh! Well! You'll have precious little of that from now on.
Let's see you take my scalp, you savage! You sneaking redskin.
>> That was lucky shooting ma'am. >> My gun jammed. Let me have that
you [indistinct] varmint.
>> This little lady has got quite a temper. But I know how to keep you quiet.
>> I said no. >> Let go.
>> You both let go. You took $27,000 in gold
coin out of that mine. It belongs to us. Where is it?
>> Oh, so that's what you're after, the gold. Well, that's
the sweetest news I've heard in a long stretch of time.
>> Don't talk so much, just get it.
>> It isn't here.
>> Where did you put it? >> I didn't
put it anywhere. Somebody took it away. But gents,
I'll be mighty glad to tell you where he is.
>> Ella. Ella, no!
>> Gramps! >> No, no, no.
>> Oh! You keep your dirty paws off.
You've done enough harm. The Indian and a masked
man stole that money last night. The masked
man took it up to the Black Rock Mine.
>> Well, somebody's working your territory.
>> We'll get another horse and some saddles and get over there, come on.
>> Help me here.
>> Surround him on three sides and rush him.
>> Why take a chance?
>> Hey, not through the head. I want it.
>> There's just some [indistinct] >> Yeah.
>> You double-crosser. You yellow double-crosser, McCarty.
>> He was asking for it. What are you so sorry about? It's a two-way split now.
>> Maybe one way, if I turn my back on you, you yellow double-crosser!
>> Reach high!
That's a dummy. You don't think I'd
go to sleep with you murderers prowling around, do you?
Alright, get goin'.
Hurry it up. Turn around. I'm going to rope you
neck to neck, the next rope you feel will be that of a hang..
>> Shoot him will ya?
>> Oh, heh, heh! You can't kill an old vinegaroon
like me, you can't even knock me off. I, I
heard you when you was telling Tonto your scheme. I
heard you just as clear, but you see I couldn't talk.
>> It's enough that you talked to Ella
right after she sent those convicts to the mine.
>> Yeah, I reckon you're at, hey, are you sure they're safe in jail?
>> The Sheriff's returned, I've left all the crooks in his custody.
>> Is your arm feeling better? >> Ah, it hold gun again when I need it.
>> Oh, I have the money evenly divided. Half of it belongs to you.
>> I'm afraid we don't know who owns it. You'll have to turn
it over to the courts and let them decide your share, if any.
>> Heh, Ella, you know you're a plump fool?
Yeah. You can't pay them fellers for what they do.
>> Well, I can give them what's rightfully theirs.
>> Yeah, but they don't want it. >> Well, how do
you know?
>> Well, because they just left
without it. >> You know, I sure never did throw so much black powder and
lead at anybody, I like half as well. Especially the one in the mask. Gramps?
>> Eh?
>> Who is he?
>> My granddaughter is just plump ignorant. Why, he's the Lone Ranger!
>> Hi-ho Silver, away!
