1:02Now, let's get into this episode. I don't see all my homeworks. A fiery horse with a speed of light. A cloud of dust and a hearty, high or silver, the lone ring. The coming of the railroad and the discovery of gold in the whole country started a new wave of immigration to the western United States. But with the miners and prospectors came criminals and gunmen.

2:06The mining towns ran wide open and a man's life depended on the quickness of his draw. He was a master rather the plane to put an end to violence in the gold country. It was his strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness that blaze a tale for progress and made possible the winning of the west. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us not of those thrilling days of yesteryear. Come out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats to the great horse silver. The lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver Bay. We're on the cleanest car in this game. I'm just waiting in Rainbow Creek. Come on, Silver Bay. Looking for excitement? Jamba Casino is here. Play any time, play anywhere.

The Friday night freight was due to leave. A masked man stood beside a great white horse in the shadows of the side of the station. It was the agent and the conductor lift a heavy buck to the platform of the caboose. Then carried inside. The masked man turned his head. A moment later, an Indian rained up beside him and dismounted. The goal's on board, tell it. How did you go? A big shipment that was ever sent from Rainbow Creek. We right now. And that's it. I want to see the train will carry any passengers, then we'll ride on the head.

4:06Fine, Scott. It was here two days ago. Let's know about the gold. I believe he'll try to get it. Him hold up train. Yes, Tyler. All the curves and the hills on the run, he'll have any number of chances. But not before Springville. We right past. Get to Springville for train. There's no hurry. You see those empty cattle cars? They're taking on a shipment of Springville. Unless they break a record, they won't get there before tomorrow morning. We get there for the end, of course. Sover and Scout are more than a match for that engine through the hills. Huh. There's someone coming towards us. I don't know if you hear him any time in Rainbow. It's a well-built garrison, the gambler. Hello there, stranger. It's a nice horse you've got. Study, boy. I'm asked. I'm not enough. Hurry, I'm not going to ask any questions. Would you mind answering a few? That's the plan. I don't mind listening to them. Are you leaving the camp? Yes. Why? I like to play cards, and the boys won't play with me anymore. But don't misunderstand.

5:07They had to run a lot, that's all. I'll give you a thousand dollars for that horse. He isn't for sale. Does it make any difference if I boosted the Annie? No, no. That's what I thought you'd say. How about you, engine? No. You're not smell of Scout, are you? All right, all right. You don't have to get sore about it. You can't blame me for not wanting to ride that chute, you. That's all we need to hear, tell us. Yep. Come on. What do you mean? Come on, sir. Come up, sir. You call this horse, sir? Hey, Bill. Coming at you. You ready to start? Well, we'll be in a lot over in the engine here to have some trouble. What do you want to ride that caboose for? I don't. Don't take us about 28 hours to make the run. It's cattle to load at Springville. I don't want to ride with you, but I can't buy a horse. Oh. Well, look, there's the Mason ranch between here in Springville. We could drop you off there. Do you Mason could take you out for the horse? Hey, you sure don't care much for my company, dude. Dude, is that Bill? You'd be more comfortable. You're right. Drop me off. Now you're talking.

6:07I wouldn't have my worst enemy ride that caboose. How much one way to the junction, Ed? $2. Here you are. Well, is vendor your worst enemy, Anson? I don't have to tell her what this trip will be like. Besides, you can't buy a horse. Or perhaps you'd like me to staker. I'd like you to mind your own business. Are you taking this train? Only as far as Mason's ranch. Good. Let's conversation we have. The better, please, I'll be. That's what comes to try and give a lady good advice, Anson. I don't need your advice. With my mistake, I presumed on a friendship which, ever, that plea didn't exist. I'm getting on board. How long will we start? All set. There's Anson right now. Just about one time. Hand me the land of Bill. Sure. Boy? That train behind us, we go faster.

7:22No, Tudor. We'll hold this place. Nothing's going to happen between here and Springville. The train to that and the passes on this level switched. We'll pass it again as soon as the engine hits the grade. Huh. That looks like a campfire up ahead. That is so. It's in the middle of the tracks. That's right. This is Jim Mason's ranch over this rice at the north. Huh. Perhaps it's a signal fire, Tudor. Well, they want the train to stop. There's somebody next to fire. Yes. It isn't Jim. Looks like a woman. She's here silver and scout. Woman run away. There's nothing strange about that. She must think we're outlaws. We go out, Tudor. We're friends, ma'am. Yes, we're alone. But it's just that we're gone. We are going to hurt you. I'm trapped in a barbell. She's fallen. My favorite fire. Don't try any longer. Don't get what they're touching. Ma'am. Can't you see them, baby? We only want to help you. You're a masker, but I'm disguising. That isn't true. You and Mrs. Mason, aren't you? You want to know. You want the train to stop? Don't make fun of me. Tudor, get back to the tracks.

8:23Stop the train. Huh. I'm going to do it. Now, let me help you up. You love her virtually. Haven't you done enough? You've killed my husband. You've burned our range. If it weren't for the baby, you could kill me Tudor, but you need someone to take care of her. If I get to the junction, I'm going to take a train back. He said, I won't make any trouble. I promise. We'll see that you get to the junction. You will. There's no time to explain my mask, but I'm not an outlaw. You really need it? I'm doing my best to bring Scar and his gang to justice. Now, let me help you up. You're just hot with the baby. Of course. I'm all right. You're the train stuffing. But before we put you on us, I wish you'd tell me just what happened tonight. I'll take it now. Scar and his gang, ready to rent? We just had to dark when they came. They wanted horses. And when Jim tried to stop them, Scar. When Scar did it? I saw him from where I was hiding in the Carson Woods. One of the men was carrying a torch and it lit up his face. And they said, fire to the house. Do you have any money?

9:24That's what we have, but I ran out of the house with the baby. There, too, Ms. Macy. Yes, Anton. I want to go to the junction. I've got a passenger here that wants to buy a horse from Jim. Oh. What's his matter? There are no horses at the Mason Ranch. They've all been driven off. Jim has been killed. Scar's work? Yes. Let's take care of Mrs. Mason's conductor. Sure, but sure. We're in a mask, maybe. I've got a hunch we don't have to worry about that. Step right up, ma'am. No, I'm not tired. And I hope the baby is. You? Now, in here, ma'am. We'll make you comfortable. Springfield's closer than the junction. We'll drop Ms. Mason there. You'll take it to the junction. She wants to train for the east. Oh. Well, maybe she'll change her mind. What? Here, over. We have our work cut out for us, Heather. What we do, we'll cross the rise and head to the Mason Ranch, and then we'll pick up Scar's trail.

10:24Follow it wherever it leads. Come on. We're in a much scar. I won't sail, but I won't. The freight reached Springfield of Halloween morning, the loading of the cattle began. At that time, the lone ranger in Tonto had ridden far beyond the town. The art-lawed trail led them away from the railroad and deep into the hills. At noon, they raised up. They can't hear, Heather. Ah, how old is the campfire? Maybe four, five hour, which waited a ride after they left here. Signed over there. Come on, Sophie. I see it now. It must have been nearly 20 of them. That's right. Then go south back to the railroad. It means they're out of the gold, Heather. Ah, we still have time. It's only 12 o'clock, so the train isn't at Springfield yet. They're just about finished loading the cattle. I don't sail to the highway.

11:37Mason, what is it? Don't blame me for not having much use on it. I know, Lady, like you are, but there's something I'd like to tell you for your own good. Really? You ought to get off the train before we leave Springfield. Why? Well, you're tired. You've got to rest up a while before you go on your father. I have no place to go here. There's plenty of folks to take you in. They're all. You'd find something forward, isn't it? You'd stay behind if you'd- I'm about to serve, Mrs. Mason. Is anything I can do while- I didn't. That man coming across the platform is the only friend I have around here. It's a rancher, isn't it? Yes, it's his cattle they've been loading. He'll be traveling with us. Another one, huh? What was that? I- I'm fed. You'll have a friend along. Thank you. Hello, checkers. Hello, Sally. I looked in here once before and he was sleeping. I'm sorry about last night. I know. You don't have to tell me. Just sit down here beside me. Yeah. How's the baby? She's fine.

12:37Well, there's an announcement coming out of the station. I'll be starting in a minute. Why don't you all get out of here? Huh? What do I have to do to make you understand? Understand what? I can't say anything more. I can't. I think you'd better lend it. No. You've had your warning. What's the matter with her? Search me. I've given up trying to understand women a long time ago. Bill, you never tried to do that. Everybody in here is. Sure you don't want to get off, Miss Mason. I'm going to the junction. Suit yourself. All aboard. That's a move. Hey, conductor. There's a man breaking from the sagebrush on the other side of the tracks. Hey, see? He's heading this way. What's the lady wants to get aboard? I am. Jacket. Yeah? That you're gunned, ready? The last time I saw that man, Spaces was by the light of a torch. He's one of the outlaws. One of the men's scorned cells. All right, I got your hand. Jump. Nice, conductor. Take him up, mister. You're covered. You're way manned out at me, cowboy. I assure him. Don't make a move. God, I'm sure of it.

13:38Tie him up, Hanson. Don't make me. You needn't be afraid. He won't try anything. Who said anything about being afraid? Is this man a friend of yours? Well, we work together now and then. He's a cook, too. Mr. Garrison, you'll help, won't you? There's a call abroad, across the aisle. I'll be happy to online. Don't reach for it, Bill. I got it done in your back and the same goes for you, checkers. Let's take him up. You. Go to work, Linda. They couldn't have done better myself. Better guns, sir. Have I got him? Time of Hanson here. They're both tough arm-brains. We can't take any hands. The curtain falls in the first act of our lone ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please familiar to pause for just a few moments. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing.

All afternoon the slow freight jolted through the hills.

15:43The shadows began to lengthen. Miles away the lone ranger in Tonto road, but a heavily wooded section not far from the railroad. We're only a few miles from the junction, Tyler. Ah, the railroad must be just beyond these woods. It get dark pretty soon. Wait, Tyler, what you'll see through the trees. Oh, empire. We found the gang, all right? You'll ride to town and get your head off party. We'll have to make sure that scars with them first. It's plenty dangerous. Go close to camp. I know that, Tyler. There may be another way. What do you mean? They're waiting for the train. They'll have a guard posted near the railroad. Oh, capture guard. There's worth trying. We should be able to make him talk. Come on. Pull the circle to the south. The lone ranger led the way around the woods to the railroad. The tracks were climbing here. And at the top of the rise, the figure of a man could be seen leaning against a great pine and a rifle glean in the last rays of the setting sun. The masked man raised his arm, the signal just stopped.

16:44There he is, Tyler. We'll leave the horses here. It's going to burst out, not making any noise. We'll keep to the cover of the trees and not see us. It's almost dark, but be careful. We can't less than a hundred yards away. Under watch out. I need a guard, this dog is going to step. Go on, go on, go on, go on. We have to gag him until we get him away. I'll have to do it. Up, where do you want to go? You ready, Tyler? I'm here. Come on, Sylvie. The outlaws are prisoner. The lone ranger and Todd will race to the bottom of the long hill. There they found cover in a grove of trees. The gag was taken from the guard's mouth. And the lone ranger accused him of taking part in the raid on Jim Mason's ranch. We're giving you a choice. He'll either be taken to the junction and turned over to the sheriff as a man who killed Jim Mason. No, it wasn't me. I didn't do it. Oh, you'll tell us everything, you know.

17:45Scar killed him. Is Scar on the camp? No. Where is he then? I don't know. He's supposed to be on the train. Oh, that bad. Well, that's the gang of springbows, Heather. Well, that's where he must have boarded it. Maybe him still go and tell. Not wait, per man. He couldn't. He might have been able to hold up the train and throw the box off, but he couldn't make it get away. Box is too heavy. He'll use his men. So, can I go now? Go. I told you everything I know. You'll have to tell us more if you want to save yourself. You'll turn me over to the sheriff anyway. You're only chance is to help us cast the rest of the gang. Hurry up. I can't waste any more time. Where's the hold up going to take place? You promise? I promise that you'll hang with the rest of them if you don't talk. And where's it going to be? You can see from here. The top of the hill? Yeah. That's the end of a long grade. At the time, the engine reaches the top, it'll slow down to a walk. They won't have the trouble climbing the board. The sheriff will have something to say about that. You go to Junction right away, not bring the sheriff in a posse back. They'll surround the gang and cast them in the act. What about me? You're coming with me. But you'll stay here, Heather. Find some cover about halfway up the grade. In the chance that I won't be able to make it before the train reaches here. You'll make it all right.

18:45It's getting late. A watch for the train. And we haven't returned. And won the engineer before he gets to the top. Hunter, wait. Into the saddle. Listen, I didn't have anything to do with Jim's money. Move. All right. Halfway up the grade, Heather. I don't know. I don't see all my heart. The lone ranger urged the great horse through the night. When the junction was reached, he turned his prisoner over to the sheriff. The lawman rounded up a posse. Freightrain neared the hill where the outlaws were camped. One end of the caboose, Garrison and checkers lay on the floor, roped hand in foot. Mrs. Mason sat near them, her little daughter cradled in her arms. At the other end of the car, Anson's scar and Linda completed their plans. How much longer before we get to the big grade, Anson? 15 minutes. I've been wondering about those two men and the woman. They can stop right now. I've got it all worked out. They can't hurt us when I just let them go. Not in your life. You're going to take them with us? I'll have to take the engineer and fireman, Linda. Now, if you use a gun on them, I'd like to do this without any gun fire.

19:48The top of the hill's pretty close to the junction. They might hear the shots. All right. Take the engineer and the fireman with us. There's the baby. What about her? I told you I had it figured out. You're not going to hurt it. Look, right now we get the gold out of this car and onto the roof of the next one. What's all? Because halfway up the grade, the coupling on this caboose is going to break. They'll roll down the hill and smash up. We'll get rid of the woman or the two men without firing a shot. Shut up. There's no need for them to know what's going to happen till it does. Sounds good to me. We'd better start with that box right now. There's more than a tree of them. There's the baby. Linda, you've been a lot of help on this job. No spoiler. It's murder. You said there wouldn't be any killing. There wasn't supposed to be anybody writing the train. No, it won't let you. Look out, Hanson. What are you doing? Well, we've gone on. What's the idea? But I'd wait until a whole gang will be caught. But I'm not going to be a party to murder. You gone, local. It's all the one who's local. You were local to trust me. Do you know who I am, Scar? Look at me. Don't I remind you of somebody? Scar, why? Harvey Ashland, Scar. I'm Harvey Ashland's sister.

20:49I was in the East when you killed him. You never saw me. But when I got back here, I swore that your paper is dead. It was over a year ago. They're looking for you ever since. But it wasn't until I hit the rainbow that I got my chance. You like to talk, don't you? I want you to know why I'm shooting you. You'd try, Ghost. Harvey shot him in the back. But this is going to be face-to-face. You didn't look up for this. My best, no, that's all. Are you OK, Ms. Mason? Yeah. I guess we'll have to tie them both up, Hanson. Yeah, there are a couple of wild cats, I've got it. Don't, don't, don't, don't think so. Yeah, she's faded. I can have my hands free now. And that's it. Put her on the floor. You be. Don't worry, Ms. Mason. You need a few ropes to make you behave. But we won't bother the baby. The put her on the seat beside you. Let's get it over with. How long before the great, Hanson? We'll be making the curve in five minutes. We'll be starting the climb after that. You old have wrong to wait, Ms. Mason.

21:53Circle to the left, Sheriff. Sky's men hitting in those pines. We'll wait for the train to get to the top before you strike. Why are you going, last man? I'm heading down the hill. Follow me, boys. As the posse closed in on the gang, and the lone ranger headed down the grade, Scar and Hanson carried the gold out of the caboose, and with the help of a rope, raised it to the roof of the car ahead. The last curl on the run was inside before the job was finished, and at that moment, Linda recovered consciousness. Bill, you're all right now, Linda. All right. Is it gone? Or do you know what's going to happen? Yes. They told us before they left. Where's Mrs. Mason and the baby? At the back. No, it's too bad for them. The checker's had a persuaded not to go east. He was going to see that her home was rebuilt. Too bad for us. You understand me?

22:54No, don't you? I treated you the way I did in Rainbow. Of course. And you forgive me? You don't have to ask that. We could only get loose. Don't try, Linda. We've got to lose the wire as well as rope. But then returning, we're surrounding the curve. After the curvy, we stopped the climb. Yeah. We are, Bill. We're starting to climb now. Steady, Linda. Steady. Steady. Steady. Steady. Steady. Steady. Steady. Steady. You come back. He must not be here. Yes, Tudor. Sheriff, come with you. Yes, he's waiting with his men. We might as well get to the top, so... What matter? There's two men up on top of that kettle car. That's right. What are they doing? Maybe they'll walk up front to engine.

23:55But they aren't. Look. All of them disappeared. Huh? Him dropped down between cars. What for? This is a Mason or a baby here in that caboose. We can't let anything happen to them, Tudor. Drangle, plenty of flow now. Maybe we get on board. Come on. Get him off the couch. What we do is uncomfortable the last car. He's rolling down the hill. Huh? We've got to get on board and set the brakes. It's going fast. It's over. You jump. I'll have to. Close visit Mason. Get on board. Just a little more and I can make it. Get it off the couch. Get in there. Oh, just slide. And come to swing over. And that's it, boy. Now... It's slowing up slowly. And it may be too late. And now it's ticking home. It's ticking home. One more turn.

24:55That's it. He's all right in here. It's a mess, man. Oh, let's go. Get away. They're waiting for him. I'll catch a rope's belt. And you can take care of the rest of them. Here's the knife. Here, Sylvie. If you worry, keep us up here. What's up? The puffy gets the guy on his man. Yes. The guy on another fellow. See Puffy, jump off train. Claim bank. There. The ravine. After them, Sylvie. That's the last of the climbing, Sylvie. Get him off the couch. There we are. Heading for the watch. Stop for our suits. Oh, I haven't got a car. I can't be scarred. Take care of him. I don't know what you're doing. And we, Sylvie. Side to side. And that's it. He's not swimming in a minute. Come on, Sylvie. There's the boy. Now we're closer down. Oh, my hand. No, no, no, no, my hand. Just... Oh, my hand. No, no, my hand. Just...

25:56You're off the edge. You belong with your men and your men belong in jail. Get up here. Hey! I'm Sylvie. I'm the junk. Just a mile or two more. Oh, my shame, myself. Oh, don't be Linda. Shouldn't have thought I was equal to those men. I'll never try anything like that again. You won't have to. You'll have a man to do your fighting for now on. Mr. Garrison. Yeah? If I'm going to change my name. You're going to change yours. He isn't going to be wild deal anymore. You know, you just didn't do any better job against Scarlet and I did. He hadn't been for the mass man. Well, I don't have to tell you. I've never seen anyone like him in my life. I wonder who he is. You honestly don't know?

26:57Yeah, I don't. And you can't guess. No. Well, Mrs. Mason, when that little girl yours blows up, you'll be able to tell her that... Yes. At once upon a time, you met the lone ranger. I don't see over how I... ... Tell her I'd take care of her from 2311 Racing. Game night's fun until someone spends five minutes lining up one shot. Shock, breathe, reach shock, still aiming.
