I'm very worried, Colonel.
There have been rumours about deportation, labour camps.
Aren't you afraid of a rebellion?
I'm terrified, I'll tell you that.
Your Excellency, I know what I'm doing.
That bandit, Zorro, must be eliminated.
Whoever helps him, must be punished.
My God, Cordillera's bandits.
I told you.
Good heavens. - My dear.
My dear.
We've had the most amazing adventure. - What?
Fritz is a hero. He defeated all the bandits.
He went at them with his sword.
For days we marched through the jungle.
Fritz went hunting to feed me,
and found water to quench my thirst.
He took care of my wounds, and watched over me.
He saved my life.
That's enough, Carmencita. Please.
He's the man I want to marry, Miguel. At least, if he'll have me.
That's amazing, aunt Carmen. Just like a fairy tale.
You know what I'll do? Just for you,
I'll throw a fabulous party.
Can you hear her?
I can hear her. - Me too.
Mam, I'm tired. - Quiet.
That was great. - Very good, yes.
Count and countess Pulido d'Oldavidez.
Please, come. I'm delighted to...
I tripped.
Glad you accepted the invitation.
I was dying to meet you.
My pleasure.
Father, aren't you going to tell him how delighted we are about the invitation.
The abuse of power pales in comparison.
What joy to finally see some people of our own standing again.
Ladies and gentlemen who didn't lift a finger to help us.
Hortensia, you speak passionately.
But I'm sure a lot of gentlemen will deny this.
Gentlemen? I don't see any. - But how... ?
Miss Hortensia thinks only a bandit
may call himself a gentleman, or even a real man.
In case you are referring to Zorro, Colonel Huerta,
don't forget I've already seen you with Zorro and I could...
Miss... - Look at that.
Excuse me.
May I? That ridiculous dog.
What have you got there, Assassin?
A love letter, I suppose.
My God... God...
'Governor, you're guilty and you'll pay with your life.'
Signed, Zorro.
Guards. Alarm. Block all exits.
My God...
All your quarters will be sealed shut.
I'll be the only one with a key.
We'll also install an alarm.
And a double rope.
I'll pull the first rope every 15 minutes.
The bell will ring.
You have to pull the second rope,
to let me know everything is fine.
For more safety... - That's enough. You can go now.
Your Excellency... Excellency?
I believe I know a way to catch Zorro.
We'll take Hortensia Pulido as prisoner.
We'll chain her and drive her through the streets.
Zorro will come to rescue her.
But she's an aristocrat, and my niece.
I can't allow that. - It's a matter of life and death.
Your life.
Or your death.
Hurry up. Get in.
Column, go.
How did you get in? - Through the main gate.
Who are you? - No time to explain.
Relieve the guard every 3 hours.
We're leaving. - How?
With this.
When Huerta brought you here to lure me,
I came to prepare your escape.
It won't be easy, but I know you can do it.
Once you're free,
immediately go to brother Francisco. Huerta will look like a fool.
The place is infested with soldiers. How can we escape?
I managed to get some things ready. You'll see.
Some nice surprises.
Go left and hide in the cell at the end of the hallway.
What was that? Take the key.
Zorro. Seize them.
Break down the door.
Angry roosters can be dangerous.
Of course, when we see any, we'll grill them.
I wouldn't mind some chicken.
Today's meat was probably from an old donkey.
It sure isn't chicken.
Who's that?
It's Zorro. Alarm.
Who locked up these rifles?
Imagine him coming here.
He can't be that stupid.
Look over there. Everyone get up.
Alarm.
There.
Wait here.
Go on, follow them. Second team, take the gallery.
First team, search the squares.
Hurry. Hurry.
We have to split up now. - What about you?
Find them, or we'll be in a lot of trouble.
We can't waste any time.
Go now.
Seal off everything, quickly.
The courtyard.
Let's go men.
This time we can't let him get away.
They're out of barrels. Let's go.
Double the guards.
Now it's all becoming clear. Only one person knew about the plan.
It's all clear. What plan?
Come along.
Me too?
A horse, quickly. Get me a horse.
A horse. My kingdom for a horse.
Come with me.
Give me the key.
No. I can't give you the key without proper authorization.
The key! Unless you want to die.
I'll give you the key.
Come, get up. Get up. Get up, Assassin.
Open it.
I don't want to replace your master, I want to avenge him.
Get out of here.
No, under the bed.
Excuse me, Your Excellency.
Colonel Huerta.
What's going on here? - Zorro freed Hortensia.
What? - He was inside the fort.
He was waiting for her, as if he knew our plans.
That's impossible. - It happened anyway.
Besides me only one person knew about it. Yourself.
Don't forget I could say the same thing about you, Your Excellency.
Colonel, are you out of your mind?
If I had become crazy, I wouldn't be here.
But... But... What do you mean?
The only thing I want, is to catch Zorro.
And... hang him.
Fine, Colonel.
There's only one thing left to do. - Indeed.
I believe so too.
Do you remember that message? Zorro wants to kill me.
That's why I am the perfect bait.
You? - That's how we'll lure him.
It'll be his life... or mine.
Look, Your Excellency, the ideal place to fish.
Not that I doubt your cunning,
but is everything organised? - Over there is a living forest.
Behind every tree, every bush and every rock, there are soldiers hiding
and willing to die for your.
Good, let's take this seriously then.
Let's split up like real fishermen.
You go upstream, I'll go downstream. Good luck.
Zorro. Alarm.
Garcia. - Here I am.
Where's the governor? - No idea.
A moment ago he was behind that rock.
Now he's disappeared. But it's not my fault.
There he is.
Look, Colonel.
Is he far away? - No, near the river.
Go after him. - Follow me.
Don't let him get away.
But what if the governor returns?
Are you going to leave him here alone?
Idiot. Do you really think the governor is still fishing?
Sergeant, look. A trout. A nice big one.
Excuse me, what did you say, Colonel? I didn't understand.
There's no time to explain.
What are you waiting for? - For you, Colonel.
Colonel, I don't want to be left alone. Let Sergeant Garcia stay.
My pleasure. - Thank you. He took the bait.
Did you see how he took the bait?
I'm getting wet.
Forward, on the double.
Calm down. I don't understand this way.
Two plus two is...
Four. - Very good.
Silence. Listen carefully, children.
Now it's time for something more difficult.
What?
We have to give Zorro a hand.
Do you remember him? And if it works...
Go on then. Follow me. Quickly. Quickly.
Search everything. He can't get away.
Come here. Quickly.
Take this one.
Think of the mask.
Come on.
Search everything.
There.
Look. There he is.
The horses. Go after him. - Follow me. Quickly.
Mount your horses.
Sergeant.
I'm very tired.
I'll take a nap in the carriage.
Don't wake me unless Zorro has been arrested.
Understood, Your Excellency.
There he is.
There.
Colonel, over there.
Halt.
First squadron goes around the hill. - Second one follows me.
Twelve. - You're in luck.
Everything works out for you today. - For me today, for you tomorrow.
My sword is ready to deliver you the final blow.
I can't swim.
Sergeant Garcia,
your governor is lying bound and gagged in that carriage.
Now you're going to do as I say,
or I'll cut his head off and feed him to the dog.
Come on.
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot that child.
Seize him.
To the horses.
Take him to the mine. I'll come there later.
Run. Run.
Corporal, take the friar to the Devil's Mine.
Understood. - Come, we're going to investigate.
Stop, Garcia.
What an opportunity. Killing two birds with one stone.
Soldiers, drop your arms.
The governor is in here, and Zorro has him at gunpoint.
Thank you. If I survive this, I'll be eternally grateful.
Have no fear, Your Excellency,
everything is going perfectly according to my strategic plans.
Throw down your weapons. You too. Down.
Release the friar. Better do as he says.
Please. - Release the friar.
Have faith. You're not alone.
Guards. Throw down your weapons. Throw them down.
Throw down your weapons, governor's orders.
And release everyone, immediately.
Release everyone. Everyone. At once.
Freedom.
Off with these chains.
Freedom, brothers. - We're free.
Brother Francisco, we're free. - Freedom.
Zorro, Colonel Huerta and his soldiers are headed for the mine.
Hurry up. You have to get out of here. - Go now.
The soldiers are coming. Head for the forest.
You too, brother Francisco.
Let's go, men.
Go, hurry.
I don't need you any longer. The governor is enough. You can go.
At ease. Make sure you don't trip.
Go on with it.
Good luck, Hortensia. Farewell.
I'm coming with you. - Farewell.
Stop.
Where is Zorro?
Surround that hill. Stand guard on those rocks.
Second squadron, in gallop.
Hortensia, what are you doing here? - I want to go with you.
You're crazy. - I love you.
What?
I love you.
There they are.
Charge.
Go on.
Look. They're trying to cut us off.
Halt.
Get off, Hortensia. Save yourself. The people need you.
Go on. Please.
It's over now.
The bandit is dead.
And that poor governor... He died as a hero.
Finally Nuova Aragona will have a true leader.
And if you value your father's life,
you'll have a husband.
Brother Francisco. - He's coming from the Devil's Mine.
Stand back, I tell you. Stand back.
Go on, shoot at Christ. Shoot.
We've come to demand freedom.
In His name we demand justice.
It's your lucky day, friar.
In order not to ruin this day, I'll forgive you your behaviour.
Only God forgives.
When you enter the church,
you violate his sacrament. Kneel
and ask for forgiveness. - Guards.
Take this friar away.
Arrest him.
That bell rings for you, Colonel Huerta.
It rings because of the innocent blood on your hands.
It rings to beg for forgiveness and justice.
Zorro is alive. Zorro is immortal.
Fusiliers, get ready.
Aim.
Shoot. Fire.
Don't shoot.
Asshole.
Have mercy on us.
That's enough.
Stay calm, people. Respect the law.
Stand back.
Respect the law, respect order, respect...
Captain, do something. - My pleasure. Long live Zorro.
Dirty pig.
One, two, three...
Carmencita.
You've bribed the rich to keep their eyes closed.
The suffering of the poor however, knows no price.
It's time to settle the bill.
Hopefully you're willing to pay.
The murder on Brother Francisco
undoes my oath to a man who wanted peace.
You've killed him. It's easy to kill a saint.
Try someone who knows how to hate.
Would you be able to do that too?
Come on.
I'm waiting for you.
I'll take your mask off.
Otherwise it will follow you into hell.
Get ready...
bandit.
You will never kill anyone again.
Dead. He's dead.
The bandit is dead.
He's dead. - Who's dead?
Zorro is dead. It's over.
Zorro is dead. - Not quite, Colonel.
Look, here I am.
It's not over yet.
Colonel.
One of us has to die now.
This is the moment of truth, Huerta.
Your Excellency...
Long live freedom.
Long live Zorro.
Friends, listen to me.
Zorro is leaving now.
He has given us our freedom back.
Now it's our turn.
We'll complete his work. No more vengeance,
but the will to built a city based on love.
When injustice returns, Zorro returns.
