Did you send men to the hills? Double the guard at the wall?
Yes, yes, of course.
- After all, if it's only one man... - It isn't just one man.
It's Zorro.
And he knows about the mine.
Otherwise he wouldn't be here tonight.
- How could he possibly... - It doesn't matter how.
You don't seem to grasp the situation.
If Santa Anna finds out we've paid him in gold stolen from his own land...
he will have us butchered like cattle.
Do you understand?
Then we should destroy the evidence.
Set explosives, bury the mine.
And the workers?
We destroy all the evidence, Don Rafael.
No witnesses.
Make sure those papers are locked up.
Guards!
The much-debated Zorro.
No.
The legendary Zorro.
Put down your weapons!
Tell them.
Do as he says.
Allow me.
Come.
Stop.
Face the window.
Now bend down and touch your toes.
Bend over.
Would you excuse me, Capítan Love?
Thank you.
Kill him.
Good morning, señor.
Good morning, señorita.
- Give it back. - What?
Whatever you have stolen from my father, I want it back. Give it to me!
Come on now.
I don't have the time to give you the proper instruction.
I have had the proper instruction since I was four.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
This will make it more difficult.
Señorita...
Don't move.
Do you surrender?
Never.
But I may scream.
I understand.
Sometimes I have that effect.
Excuse me.
Good-bye, señorita.
What are you doing here? What happened?
Zorro. Zorro was here.
I fought him, and he left. He left!
Do you recognize him?
But he was young and vigorous.
He was very vigorous, Father.
- Vigorous. - Yes.
Let's go.
Go!
Here. This is the canyon.
That is where the mine is.
They have...
25, 30 guards at most.
- Nothing that Zorro can't overcome. - I'm not going with you.
What?
I'm not going with you.
There's something I must do. It's a personal matter.
What about the prisoners?
There's nothing more I can do for them.
Nothing you will do.
I gave my life to them.
In return, I lost everything.
My wife was murdered before my eyes and my child was stolen...
to be raised by my mortal enemy.
Montero?
Elena.
She's your daughter.
Yes. She was.
So...
you will simply take your revenge.
No, I will take my daughter.
And don't pretend she means nothing to you.
Well, she does.
But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings. Remember?
Was that all a lie?
- You're too young to understand. - To understand what?
Betrayal?
All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what?
To smile in the face of my brother's killer while you make your own plans?
Alejandro, I taught you everything you need to survive.
Now I must look to my own heart.
Elena is all I have left. I'm not going to lose her again.
What about California?
What about the people?
They still have Zorro.
I have every inch of the countryside covered.
If he shows himself...
Are you all right?
- Do you have the map? - We'll find it.
Is your army ready to fight Santa Anna's?
- No, sir. - Then of course, I'm not all right.
I'm really beginning to wonder if you want this operation to succeed at all.
- Just what are you saying, Don Rafael? - What I'm saying, Captain...
is that I think my horse could run this army better than you.
I said I'll find him.
That means I will.
Perhaps I can save you the trouble.
Go on. Reach for it, Captain.
Who are you?
I warned you long ago, Rafael...
that you would never be rid of me.
De la Vega.
Rafael.
You were not the Zorro I saw last night.
That was your master, Don Alejandro.
Yes.
But there are many who would proudly wear the mask of Zorro.
Either way, it's of little consequence.
Events have been set in motion that you cannot stop.
I'm not here to stop you.
Call for Elena.
Call her.
Captain...
bring my daughter.
Bring her to me!
You cannot imagine, Rafael...
how I have dreamed of this moment.
Night and day, 20 long years.
Really?
I haven't given you a second thought.
If I die, De la Vega, the truth dies with me.
We shall see.
Father!
Bernardo, what are you doing?
Tell her, Rafael.
Tell me what? What is going on?
Tell her who her real father is.
What is he saying?
This...
unfortunate man lost a daughter once.
It has driven him mad, and now he seeks to claim you for his own.
Tell her...
how her mother died.
Your daughter is lost, de la Vega.
You cannot have mine.
De la Vega?
A woman in town, she told me.
Diego de la Vega?
Father?
His name is of no consequence...
I was told my niñera used to hang something on my crib.
Yes.
She had her hang fresh flowers...
No!
Let us finish it, Rafael.
Let us finish what we started the night Esperanza died.
Drop your sword...
or I will have you shot...
even in the presence of my daughter.
Please.
They were flowers.
Romneya.
She knows.
Water!
Lock 'em up!
The fuses are burning. Hurry it up.
Let's go!
Wait here!
Secure the wagon. Stay alert.
Only one question.
Really? What is that?
How would you like your remains displayed?
Now I am free...
to kill you.
Drop the sword.
Drop it.
You really think I would have killed my own child?
Did you miss me?
Elena! Get them out!
"M"...
for Murrieta.
Two men.
One dead!
You're doing well.
Your brother would have shot himself by now.
Is it finished?
Yes, Don Diego.
It's finished.
Not for Zorro.
There will be other days, other battles to fight.
It is your curse and destiny.
My beautiful Elena.
The world is a strange place.
To have found you at last, only to lose you again.
You will never lose me...
Father.
You are like your mother.
Same eyes.
Same mouth.
Same spirit.
My child.
And so it was.
Lightning split the sky.
Thunder shook the earth.
Then all was quiet.
The great warrior known as Zorro...
was gone.
The people of the land gave him a hero's funeral.
The largest anyone had ever seen.
They came from far and wide...
to say farewell to the brave and noble champion.
But don't worry, little Joaquin.
Whenever great deeds are remembered...
your grandfather will live on.
For there must always, always be a Zorro.
And someday, when he's needed...
we will see him again...
on his fearsome steed Tornado...
riding like the wind...
his sword blazing in the sun.
Leaping, jumping, swinging through the air.
Fighting like a lion. Fighting like a tiger.
Fighting...
As safely as possible.
Is this your idea of putting the baby to sleep?
Sleep tight, my son.
When I sleep I will dream of this dashing rogue Zorro.
But what face shall I give him?
He has been many different men...
but he has loved you as all of them.
How can I refuse such a man?
Do you know where I might find him?
You know Zorro.
He could be anywhere.
There, there, my darling.
