Original subtitles

So I hear you've been, uh,

snooping around my construction site.

I'm a reporter.

That's what I get paid to do.

Well, I'm telling you to back off, Darby,

or you'll find yourself in more trouble than you can handle.

I think you got it backwards, Lester.

After we run this story,

you're the one who's gonna be

in a whole world of trouble.

You forget who you're talking to.

I'm the one who signs all the paychecks

on the reservation, remember? If it weren't for me,

half of those damn Indians out there would be unemployed.

Right.

The pillar of our community.

Well, I think once the public finds out

that you've been diverting government funds

into your own back account,

using substandard building materials,

cheating the Native Americans with your kickbacks

and your shoddy construction,

I don't think anyone's gonna wanna listen to you cry foul.

Heh, you're a real folk hero, aren't you?

Crusading reporter.

You're gonna ride this story all the way to the top, huh?

Well, there's only one problem.

Nobody's gonna read it.

Sorry, Lester.

There's no way in the world you're gonna stop me.

Is that a fact?

Yeah, John Wolf?

Steve Darby needs to see you down at the newspaper office

just as soon as possible.

Yeah, thank you.

A seven letter word for condiment.

Pickle. No, no.

That's only got six letters.

No. You got any pickles?

Huh?

Oh, no, look, stay away from those pickles

or I'll come upside your head with that jar.

All right. Mayonnaise.

No, no. It's got, uh, too many letters in it.

No. Where's your mayo?

Here it is.

Boy, I'll be glad when you get a woman to cook for you.

d I will always be true to you Big Dog d

d True to you d

Mustard.

What'd you say? Mustard.

Mustard. That's what it is.

Exactly what it is.

Okay, Jimmy.

My Lord, what is this, for a family of four?

Ha-ha! Isn't this great?

It's for me.

Just me.

This is a man's sandwich.

That's gonna catch up to you one of these days.

Hey, Steve.

He looks dead to me.

Lester.

What'd you do, kill him?

I didn't do this.

Hell, you didn't. You've got blood on you.

Somebody... Somebody called me. I didn't do this.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

We'll call the law and let them sort this out.

Okay, fine. Call the law.

On second thought, I don't think we need the law.

Hey.

C.D., you have any coffee?

Yeah, I just brewed up a fresh pot.

Wow, Lord, how do you do it?

Where in the world do you put all that food?

Cordell, he ate a sandwich here a while ago

a show dog couldn't jump over.

I'll bet that sandwich weighed 3 pounds

if it weighed an ounce.

I've seen him eat more.

That's gonna catch up with you, Jimmy.

Is that what happened to you, Big Dog?

Unsolicited smartness.

What if I cut off ice box privileges to you?

Then you'll go into cold-cut withdrawal and lose your mind.

May I have my pie now?

Pie?

Yes, yes, I'm gonna get you this pie.

I'm not so sure there's not a great big tapeworm inside you.

Is it just me, or is he a little cranky today?

Oh, you bring out the best in him, Trivette.

And you bring out the best in me.

Hi. Hi, guys. Hi.

Hey. Hi.

I told you I'd be here for lunch.

Finally. Excuse me?

Well, you cancelled on me three times last week.

Well, tell it to the bad guys.

Well, I just want the bad guys to take one hour off.

That's all I'm asking.

C.D.'s.

Speaking.

Okay. We'll be right there.

Trouble in Adobe Wells, Trivette. Gotta go.

There ought to be a law against bad timing.

I'm sorry. Next time.

Jimmy, what do you want me to do with this piece of pie?

Save it for me.

I'll eat it. C.D.: Good.

Would you like a glass of milk with that?

Yes, please.

I'll be back.

Ira. Glad to see you, Walker.

He's in the blacksmith's shop.

Who is?

Name's John Wolf.

Native American.

Lester said he killed a guy over at the newspaper office.

A reporter by the name of Darby.

Who's Lester?

Lester Stahl.

He's a local contractor.

Why'd you send for us?

Well, Walker, we were all set to go in and get him,

but he started hollering for you.

Said he needed to talk to you.

I decided to hold the boys back until you got here.

Is he armed?

We don't know.

I'll go talk to him.

Okay, men, Walker's going in.

Let's all just stay nice and cool and easy.

I don't know why you're doing it like this, Ira.

We'll handle it, Lester.

Well, you ought to shoot first and ask questions later.

Why do you say that?

Steve Darby was a fine man, and a fine reporter.

When he went to the reservation, he called it like it was.

He saw unemployment, he wrote about it.

He saw drunkenness, he wrote about it.

That little hotheaded Indian friend here

took exception to it and killed him.

You saw him do it?

Oh, yeah, I saw him do it.

Walked right in the middle of it.

He tried to attack me too.

I got a shot at him, but he got away.

John Wolf?

I'm in here.

I'm coming in.

You had the dream, same as me.

I can tell.

Did you kill the reporter?

No. It was Stahl.

He was hiding in the office when I got there.

He tried to kill me.

Why?

He's been lying

and stealing and cheating our people,

just like his great-grandfather tried to do,

and I can prove it.

How?

The Shaman told me.

He told me to give you this.

This bullet, it looks just like mine.

Extra, extra.

Read all about it.

Ulysses S. Grant elected president.

Extra, extra.

Read all about it.

Ulysses S. Grant elected president.

Hey, boy? Over here.

How much is it? Two cents, mister.

Keep the change.

What's this?

It's a quarter.

Hey, this is silver.

Thanks, mister.

Hey, Comanches!

There they are.

There's the redskins that killed that federal agent.

Damn it!

They got away.

Comanche did this.

What are we gonna do about it?

Kill them!

What happened here?

Who are you?

Texas Ranger.

Pretty fancy rig there.

Must be from West Texas.

I asked you a question. What happened here?

Lone Wolf killed this agent from Washington

and three other innocent men.

Yeah.

Comes riding into town here to sign a treaty

like nothing ever happened.

Driver, is that a fact?

Just like the sheriff said.

Yeah.

Why didn't they kill you?

You got business here, Ranger?

I do now.

We can't let the Comanche get away with this.

I'm calling for volunteers.

Yeah!

Hold on.

Just hold on.

Stay out of this, preacher.

Hear me out. Please.

You're turning these men into vigilantes.

You call them vigilantes. I call them a posse.

You men saddle up, meet me in my office.

We ride in half an hour.

Yeah.

Somebody get these bodies out of here.

Burke, you get over here.

No one's allowed in here.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

Uh, what... What can I do for you?

Which one's the federal agent?

How was he killed?

Comanche war lance.

Left a hole big enough to crawl through.

What are these powder burns?

What?

Uh... Well, I don't know.

There's a bullet in his chest.

Dig it out.

Why?

I said, dig it out.

Thank you, reverend.

Hey, preacher.

Do you know where Lone Wolf's camp is?

Yeah.

I need to get there before the posse does.

Come on. I'll take you.

We're here to see Lone Wolf.

I have been expecting you, Washoe.

Why am I here, Shaman?

I sent for you.

A Shaman's vision must be able to reach into the past,

or to the future, for an answer.

Answer to what?

Injustice, Washoe.

- Where's Lone Wolf? - At the river.

He knows the white men will come,

and when they do, he will lead them away.

We will go north.

Lone Wolf will join us there,

but he will head south to draw them away

before he joins us again.

I have to find Lone Wolf.

Grimes.

Fifty dollars to the man who kills him.

Come on, Frank. I know a better way.

Hey, over there!

Hyah.

Move it, Frank,

or they're gonna beat us to that Indian.

Hyah, hyah!

Hyah!

Hold it.

I come in peace, Lone Wolf.

Why should I trust you?

Because I could kill you.

Who are you?

The Shaman sent for me.

He brought me here to help you.

I have to speak to the Shaman.

Let's go.

You fight like no white man I've ever seen.

Well, Lone Wolf,

I'm not like any white man you've ever seen.

Watch it!

Hold your fire, men! Hold your fire!

I think we need to talk, Ranger.

Then talk.

I don't know where you think you're taking him,

but that redskin's wanted in Adobe Wells.

I'm taking him to the circuit judge in Abilene.

You're not taking him anywhere.

He's in my jurisdiction. We got our own judge.

Lone Wolf, when I start firing,

run for the horses.

I count ten bullets,

but I only see one gun.

Stay put, you cowards! Get back here.

God almighty, what kind of gun is that?

You know as well as I do

there's gold on that Indian land.

If you want a piece of it,

we'll have to kill those two.

Yep.

Get this posse moving.

Do it.

What are you standing there for?

Mount up. MAN: All right, mount up.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Let's go, boys.

It doesn't look like they're following us.

Why are you doing this?

To find the truth.

Hold on. Whoa, hold up here. Hold on now.

Throwing the blame on them Comanches was easy,

but that's all different now.

That damn Ranger's right scoring away.

Nothing's changed.

We take Lone Wolf dead or alive,

even if we have to kill the Ranger to do it.

Well, let's do it.

The woman is his wife, Sundance,

and the boy is his son, Running Wolf.

Comanche means people,

and they are good people.

Once we were many as the stars,

proud as the eagle,

but there were too many white people,

too many guns.

Now most of our tribe is dead

or on the reservation.

When the stagecoach was attacked, Lone Wolf,

where were you?

We were on our way

to meet an important man from Washington.

They say the stagecoach that was carrying him

was attacked by Comanches,

and that I was leading them.

Drop that gun you got.

It was not the Comanche who killed that day.

Halt.

Who was it?

Halt... The white man.

Halt. Get out of there.

Get out of there. Hurry up.

Don't count it.

The arrows were fired

by the enemy of the Comanche,

renegade Apache.

But the lance and arrows were Comanche?

Yes. Stolen, taken in battle.

Load 'em in the stage. Go to town.

What happened?

It was an ambush.

Lone Wolf and his boys,

they killed a federal agent.

Comanche. Hey, Comanche.

There they are.

There's the redskins that killed that federal agent.

Damn it! They got away!

You were there. You saw.

How far is it to Abilene?

Six hour ride, if we push hard.

Lone Wolf, I wanna take you to Abilene

to meet with the circuit judge.

No. I have to stay with my people.

I'll bring the circuit judge here.

I'll go with you.

There is much I do not understand.

Do not shoot. I'll go with you.

Get on the horse.

Pete, tie him up.

Let's go, Indian. Get on the horse.

Tie his hands.

Papa!

Kill that Indian.

Papa!

What happened?

The deputy, the one they call Grimes,

he shot Running Wolf,

and then they took Lone Wolf.

We have to get the bullet out.

Knife.

This is gonna hurt.

I'm a warrior.

I've got it.

You're a brave warrior.

There's a bullet in his chest.

Dig it out.

You said Grimes shot Running Wolf.

This bullet killed the federal agent.

It came from the same gun.

Here.

This is yours.

Are you gonna save my father?

Yeah, I'm gonna save him.

This will seal my promise.

You possess knowledge of the future, Washoe,

but it will prove useless in the past.

But now I know the truth.

All right, listen up.

I say we don't need any judge and we don't need any jury.

Yeah!

Now, every man here knows what that Comanche did.

And every man knows here what ought to be done.

A hanging's what ought to happen.

Come on! He's at the jail!

You two, get down from there.

Get down from there.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

We don't take to lynchings.

Especially innocent men.

Lone Wolf, get over here.

Get on the horse, get out of here.

Well, if it ain't a Comanche-loving Ranger.

Don't that beat all.

Sheriff Stahl,

you and your deputies are under arrest

for the murder of the federal agent.

Preacher Stanton is in Abilene now

bringing back the circuit judge.

Well, that's good because when he gets back

the preacher can say a few words at your funeral.

Take them to the jail.

Get a doctor for them.

Yes, sir.

When you see my great-grandson,

tell him we will meet someday in the land of the Great Spirit.

I'll tell him.

You have found the truth in the past, Washoe.

Now you must find the truth in the present.

You were there, weren't you?

Yeah.

I saw your great-grandfather.

He said he would meet you

in the land of the Great Spirit one day.

Come on.

Where?

To find the truth.

So you said you saw John Wolf attacking Steve Darby?

Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

He attacked Steve and then he threw the tomahawk at me,

I ducked, and it landed over there.

That's a lie.

That's exactly the way it happened?

Yeah, yeah, that's exactly how it happened.

Now are you gonna arrest him, or what?

So John Wolf's fingerprints

should be on the tomahawk, right?

Yeah.

Or are they your prints?

Well, uh... No, they're...

Get him out of here.

Well, John, I'm sorry about all this.

You're free to go.

Thank you, Washoe. You're welcome, John.

Well, Ira, it's good to see you.

Thanks, Cordell.

Gotta ask you something.

What?

How'd you get so dirty?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Try me.

Later.

d And give the rest to Uncle Sam d

And that's the whole story.

d So I keep working Night and day d

d I got more bills Than I got paid d

I told you you wouldn't believe it.

d I just keep working Night and day d

d I got more bills Than I got paid d

d Have mercy d

d 'Cause the eyes Of the Ranger d

d Are upon you d

d Any wrong you do He's gonna see d

d When you're in Texas Look behind you d

d 'Cause that's where The Ranger's gonna be d
