[The Lone Ranger]

Hi O Silver, Hawaii. A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hi O Silver. The Lone Ranger. In the early days of the western United States, bands of outlaws roamed the plains. The isolated ranchers were at the mercy of their sudden raids. And it was not until the masked rider of the plains started his great fight for justice that the new country became safe for honest men and women. It was a lone range of strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness that brought law and order to the lawless frontier and finally made possible the winning of the West. Return with us now. Those thrilling days of yesteryear come out of the past. Come the thundering hoof beats, the great horse Silver, the Lone Ranger rides again. The sun was dropping behind the western Sawtooth Mountain. The Lone Ranger headed Silver along the trail that led to Doane River Arrows Ranch and a lonely section of the Panhandle. Tonto, his faithful Indian companion, rode beside him. And Doane Rivera should have been seen in town long before this Tuttle more' n two moon gone by. Two old months. Kimasabe. Don Rivera's a strange man. Perhaps a little peculiar, but he never fails to get to Prairie Bend even though it's more than 50 miles. Oh, plenty long distance way. He lives alone with his daughter. Perhaps he's sick. He got Indian medic takes him. Good. I hope that's all it is. I have a feeling, Santo. A feeling that trouble lies ahead in this strange country.

[Murdoch]

Very bad.

[The Lone Ranger]

Sometime we'll soon see. There's Don Rivera's hacienda up ahead at saddle. That's strange. A fence. That fence wasn't here before. That's right. Just open country now. A fence around the rancho. Well, no matter. Come on, Silver, what you do? No need to let a fence stop us. We'll jump it. Come get plenty high. Silver can make. I get soaking. Scout a rifle shot. A man behind pants. Sit still, Kiwisabe. What's the idea of the warning stranger? That's it. Keep your hands idle and your fingers off the trigger. Far off. Who are you? Never mind me. I see your mask. Well, nothing don't matter a maverick side to me if your mask are wearing cactus needles or whiskers Just you and the engine make tracks. Hello. And I are friends of Don Rivera. Never heard of him. This is his rancho.

[Andrew Rines]

Yeah.

[The Lone Ranger]

Mister, I'm telling you plain. Vamoose. We came to see the Don and we're going to. You got the wrong ranch, mister. You say so? Yeah, I say so. Me and this here rifle both say so. You savvy what I mean? And suppose we choose to ignore you on the rifle? Suppose Toddo and I jump that fence and ride right on. Mister, first off, you wouldn't jump no fence because you'll be drilled with bullets. Second place, even if you did get by me, which you might on account of you look like an armory who's lightning fast on a draw. Well, even if you did get by me, you'd wish you hadn't. Trouble, huh? A heap of trouble, even for a masked man. I'm telling you straight, mister. You and the engine both. There's some head Gumpson enough to go into that ranch house, but there ain't none that ever come out. Oh, what? That the signal? Tanter. Adios, mister. I got no time for powwow. That calls for you. I said adios. Don't go prying into what ain't your business. And if it's Don Rivera's business, mister, I said there ain't no Don Rivera here. Now, don't ask too many questions. Sadly, I gotta get moving. And adios. Don't try to get past this fence. You'll bite up more trouble than you can charge. Well, Tada. Sun drop behind mountain now. Rancho looks strange. Maybe better we go out. Yes, Tada. It's getting dark. Soon it'll be black as pitch. Then we. That sound like spirit, Mick. Shivers long Tanta's back. That's no spirit, Kimasabe. That's a man calling. Maybe so. Come on, Silver, get him up. Scout. Me? Go ahead, huh? Yes, but we're not going far. Late at night, we're going over that fence. That is Don Rivera's rancho. No matter what that man with the rifle said, we'll be back later when it's dark. It was the dark of the moon. The faint glow of starlight could not penetrate the blackness of the night. Like a gray ghost in his shadow, the great horse. Silver and Scout moved toward the fence. Then came a low command. Jump Silver over the fence. Get him up. Scout. Silver, we inside now ahead, Kimasabe to the rancho. Keep your hand on your guns. No light from the house now. It's all dark, every window. We're going inside the Rancho Tado. Follow me. Quietly. The two horses and their riders slipped across the open stretch between the fence and the dark house. Their only protection, the darkness of the night. Until finally. Smile, Tyler. Follow me. We go in house, huh? Stay there.

[Murdoch]

Sir.

[The Lone Ranger]

Roll boy. We'll be back. You have gun ready? Not a sign of anything stirring. Tyler. Where? Door. It's dark, but we'll do without a light. Here we are. It's dark inside, too. This must be the hall of the rancher. Tada. Plenty big. Follow me. Footsteps echo. But never mind that. Hear that? Yes. Quiet. There it is again. Over this way.

[Murdoch]

It's war.

[The Lone Ranger]

That noise is coming from behind this wall. Kimasabi. There's no door here. Sound like spirit rattle and chains. No, Tanto. It's not a ghost. It's gone. Dom Rivera, you shout. No sense in keeping silent any longer. Tanner. If anyone is here, they already know we're inside. Or they'd learn it anyway. He'll not have. Sir, we'll need a light. We can't go on. What's happened? Here it is. There's a table in this hole. Here. Here's a candle. Strike a light. That's just a candle. Lighted? No. We can see. There are the stairs. There's 10 up above on the second floor. First Don Rivera. Maybe him gone. He can't be. We'll tell the stuff. Hear that? Ah, a girl crying. Put out that candle. She's coming this way.

[Leosa]

Marcus Martin, is that you? Where are you?

[The Lone Ranger]

She's coming down the stairs.

[Leosa]

Oh, please. Where are you?

[The Lone Ranger]

Now, don't be frightened.

[Leosa]

Murdoch. You are Murdoch.

[The Lone Ranger]

No, I'm not Murdoch. I'm your father's friend. Are you? Sir?

[Leosa]

My father's her voice. It sounds familiar.

[The Lone Ranger]

It's hard to light that candle again.

[Leosa]

You can't handle. Then. Then you must be here.

[The Lone Ranger]

[The Lone Ranger]

[The Lone Ranger]

Take it easy. Deoza. Where's your father?

[Leosa]

I cannot say.

[The Lone Ranger]

What's wrong? Who's the man who stopped us at the fence? You mentioned the name Murdoch. Who is Murdoch?

[Leosa]

Senor, you have helped us so many times in the past. But this time I do not know if you can.

[The Lone Ranger]

[Leosa]

[The Lone Ranger]

That noise. Where's it coming from? Who's doing it?

[Leosa]

There are many rooms hidden away, Ms. Rancho, senor. Many hidden rooms. You can search all night and not find out what many hidden rooms? There are eyes watching all the time, Murdoch, huh? Please, please go.

[The Lone Ranger]

I'm sorry, Leosa, but we're going to find your father. We're going to locate that noise if it takes us all night. Come on. Tell her we're going to help whether she wants us to or not. Once again, senor, I will show you how the old Spanish of me culture with very well with the Raphael Murak. You are not good.

[Murdoch]

Maybe so, Don. When I was in the arm, I was pretty handy with a savory.

[The Lone Ranger]

Ah, a savory weapon for pigs. It is not light and delicate like the rapier.

[Murdoch]

One slide from a saber and that needle of yours will be cut right into half. Me, I use these anyway.

[The Lone Ranger]

Guns. Pure.

[Murdoch]

What's wrong with guns? Are you in the army?

[The Lone Ranger]

Guns are also no weapon for a gentleman. But tell me, you. You said nothing before about being in the army.

[Murdoch]

I was in the cavalry until I got cashiered out in it. I mean, I cashier.

[The Lone Ranger]

Does that not mean discharged? Dishonorably discharged.

[Murdoch]

But I would like I said, skibid Sally.

[The Lone Ranger]

[Murdoch]

Supposedly?

[The Lone Ranger]

I don't believe you, Senor Mordo Cayenne Dolliver. My word is always believed.

[Murdoch]

If you take your hand off that.

[The Lone Ranger]

Rapier river, you apologize. But now we have been down here in the hidden dungeons of Marancho for very long. Tell me when you. Wait a minute.

[Murdoch]

[The Lone Ranger]

The oath of my daughter. She was right. Yeah.

[Murdoch]

[The Lone Ranger]

[Murdoch]

Yes, it so crooked. All right. Now the cards are on the table.

[The Lone Ranger]

You will never get my gold. That is for the Os.

[Murdoch]

You're getting it if we have to Take it.

[The Lone Ranger]

[Murdoch]

To go and step in this trigger pull.

[The Lone Ranger]

[Murdoch]

Pretty smart, eh, sir?

[The Lone Ranger]

[The Lone Ranger]

[The Lone Ranger]

Then they come back. They're inside. I seen him, Murdoch. They're looking for the way to get into these underground dungeons. Mask them on. Risky. Go load of repairs.

[Murdoch]

They might take care of them.

[The Lone Ranger]

Ah, don't be local, Murdoch. Look at Don Rivera grinning. These are two armies that can't shoot down. They get you first. You mean the Rivera knows who they are. And so do I. I heard the masked gent trying to get the girl to tell him how to get down here. The only reason she didn't is on account of she's scared what'll happen to her old man.

[The Lone Ranger]

Diosa. We need your help.

[Leosa]

My father. You're loving him. With you. He. Senor, he's not dead.

[The Lone Ranger]

Your father's all right. Diosa. We came back because Murdoch swore he'd shoot your father if we followed him. Him? That hombre.

[Leosa]

There is no help for it. My father must do as Murak say.

[The Lone Ranger]

Is this your horse?

[Leosa]

Yes.

[The Lone Ranger]

Time to go inside and get some water and provisions. Me? Do it. Leo. Sir, we're going back into the Sawtooth Mountains. You've got to come with us. You know where Murdoch is taking your father, don't you?

[Leosa]

Senor, I.

[The Lone Ranger]

You're still protecting your father, aren't you?

[Leosa]

But of course.

[The Lone Ranger]

Don't you realize Murdoch's word is no good? He'll promise your father anything to get what he wants. But he won't keep that promise.

[Leosa]

My father will be alive only if.

[The Lone Ranger]

It suits Murdoch's purpose to keep him alive. Dios. I'm your friend. Tado's your friend.

[Leosa]

Say that I am sure of you are the most wonderful.

[The Lone Ranger]

Then you must trust me. You must do as we ask.

[Leosa]

Oh, Senor Masculine. I do not know what to do. All I can think about is my father.

[The Lone Ranger]

He's got water. Food. Here, scout. Good. Give me that saddlebag. Kimasabi. It's got food in it. I'll carry that now. To yourself.

[Leosa]

I only want to save my father.

[The Lone Ranger]

Here's your horse. You must come.

[Leosa]

Very well. Very well. Senor. I will go with you to the Sawtooth Mountain. As you say. I. I do know where Murdoch have taken my father, but.

[The Lone Ranger]

But you're still not certain it will help him to lead us there, is that it?

[Leosa]

That is right, senor. Take a long way to the mountain. Perhaps after I've had time to think about it, I shall tell you. And perhaps not.

[The Lone Ranger]

It get dark, Hemisabi. We'll keep going. Tada. Can you still see the trail? No. No trail. We'll keep going. Later on, we'll make a night camp if we have to.

[Leosa]

We're coming to the trees now, senor.

[The Lone Ranger]

We'll ride single file. De Osa. You go ahead. Lead the way. Huh? Panto doors. Get him up. Scout. Dio. Sir. Me all the way up here, you've spoken hardly a word.

[Leosa]

I have been thinking about your father, senor. Next to my father, you are the one I would trust most.

[The Lone Ranger]

Where have they taken him?

[Leosa]

There is a cabin up here in the mountains. My father Used it years ago for hunting.

[The Lone Ranger]

Don Rivera has a cabin, see?

[Leosa]

But yes, I could go there myself.

[The Lone Ranger]

What could a girl do alone against those two?

[Leosa]

Would be safer for my father. Senor, please. I know you are a fine man, but if they shoot you, my father.

[The Lone Ranger]

This is something you must decide for yourself. Dio. I can't convince you, so I have decided. You'll tell us.

[Leosa]

You will learn. Senor, please. Now go ahead. In single file. Let me come in back. I must make very sure of what I do.

[The Lone Ranger]

Very well. We'll have to make camp soon anyway. Silver.

[Leosa]

You will run soon, senor. Very soon.

[The Lone Ranger]

King Matt? Not yet, Santa. She prayed for her father. You heard Murdoch this morning. He wouldn't hesitate to shoot Don Rivera. But if we knew what his cabin is, we could make certain no shots were fired. Maybe ambush in the darkness. We can't be seen, Santa. We've surprised better planesmen than Murdoch before. Where? Girl. She's riding in back of us. Maybe she get way. You think I should have had a ride between Silver and Scout, huh? Isn't that right? No, Kimasabi. That wasn't necessary. Is that a Silver? Silver himself. Stubborn in dark. Maybe it's how we make camp now, huh? Very well. It is dark right up. Oh. What's the matter? T you say? Girl riding back, but no girl here. She can't.

[Leosa]

This is my father's cabin. They must be within this.

[The Lone Ranger]

Howdy, Dioza. Come to see your pa? All right. Get inside. Was her all right, Murdoch?

[Leosa]

Father. Oh, Father. You all right?

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah. All by your lonesome? Nobody trailing her, you know.

[Murdoch]

Reckon she figured the master jet and the engine would do her old man more harm than good.

[The Lone Ranger]

Yeah.

[Murdoch]

Murdoch, Keep watching just in case. I'll settle this once and for all. All right, you two. You can stop all that stuff. And you diocese. Where's the masked man?

[Leosa]

I come alone.

[Murdoch]

Yes. Anybody persuade your old man to sign the paper on that table?

[The Lone Ranger]

No. No, I will not. The old settlers. Give them the Rivera gold, you sand, or you'll die.

[Leosa]

No.

[The Lone Ranger]

It is yours. The Os.

[Leosa]

Father. Please, Father, do what he says. All I care about is you not to go. I am your daughter. I love you. They will set you free of you son. That is all I wish for.

[The Lone Ranger]

Not his paper. Say that when I die, the money goes to them. Tomorrow thou can slay me. We are not yours. So long as you do not wish the money.

[Leosa]

No, no, no, no. I do.

[The Lone Ranger]

Oh, very well, Mordochai.

[Murdoch]

We say it's pretty neat right beside you, Rev. Yeah, that does it. We Got it, Slim.

[The Lone Ranger]

Money. Yeah.

[Murdoch]

And now Rivera again.

[Leosa]

What you do?

[Murdoch]

This paper says we get the money after Rivera dies. Heavy. So I'm going to make sure he dies right now.

[The Lone Ranger]

But you can't, you know, say also I have been a fool. Stand aside.

[Murdoch]

Get out of the way so I can do a better Beatle.

[The Lone Ranger]

Stand aside, Murdoch. He's got a sword.

[Leosa]

Yes. Can I salute.

[Murdoch]

You almost coming with that rapier, didn't you?

[The Lone Ranger]

I fight as my ancestors dead. Even such a snake as you, Murdoch.

[Murdoch]

I could put a bullet through you so fast.

[The Lone Ranger]

Hey, a coward like this cloaking coyote on the desert.

[Murdoch]

You want to get it your way, huh? All right. I reckon I'll host to my guns and use that saber on the wall.

[Leosa]

A saber against the rapier? No.

[Murdoch]

Give me that saber, Slim.

[The Lone Ranger]

[The Lone Ranger]

[Murdoch]

Don river, take your little daughter to step back. What are you. So it's huh? I cut you to ribbons.

[The Lone Ranger]

If I'm to die, it is better this way. Get back now, Senor.

[Murdoch]

Keep watching, Slim. This has got to be good.

[The Lone Ranger]

See that broken twig? This right, Pat. I will not lose it until. Oh. Stop the horses. Listen, chemo sabi. That's fist with chains. No, Tyler, not chains. Those are swords. Don Rivera has a rapier sword. Yes, that's a cabin. Head for it. Come on, Silver. We've got to get every time. Head em up.

[Murdoch]

[The Lone Ranger]

[Leosa]

[Murdoch]

I won't shoot it. Out now.

[The Lone Ranger]

But you were willing to use a saber against this rapier.

[Leosa]

Yes. That he was ready to do. He knew a saber could break the rapier in half.

[The Lone Ranger]

A coward and a bully, Murdoch. And I'm going to prove it. Pick up that saber. Pick it up. You wanted swords instead of guns. I'm giving you that chance. Pick it up.

[Murdoch]

You mean you'll fight a duel with a rapier agin my cb? Sure. I'll Pick it up.

[The Lone Ranger]

Senor, no. Do not jewel with him. He's an expert. Don't worry. Hunter, make sure Slim doesn't interfere. You get back. Stay back. Show a sure engine. Just like you say now, Murdoch. Come ahead then.
