—First call for merchant ship Vulcan, out of Lisbon and bound for Caracas.—
—Señors and Señoras, first call for Caracas.—
—Passengers will please proceed to Pier 3.—
— Isabella, out of Santa Cruz, now arriving in port.—
Look! What Islands are these?
The Azores - the first place we stopped after we left the mainland.
- Oh, when my hat fell in water? - Yes.
And all the seagulls went after it, remember?
Yes, I remember.
—Señors and Señoras, first call for Caracas.—
...where we are now. Now look carefully.
- Can you find Cartagena? - Here?
No… look carefully.
Wait... no, it's there!
Very good, Rafaelito.
In fact, the boat took us from here, Barcelona…
across the Atlantic Ocean into the Caribbean Sea,
and here to Cartagena.
And across these mountains here…
will be our new home… Nueva Aragón.
That was quite a voyage.
Oh… Diego!
Diego, what are you doing here?
I can't believe it. We’ve only just arrived.
Well, after ten years, we won’t have much of a visit -
I sail for Spain tomorrow.
But perhaps then I might convince you to stay.
- I can't.
- I'm sure you remember Maria? - Of course.
- Diego, what a wonderful surprise! - Thank you.
- And who's that? - Rafaelito. Rafaelito, come.
How do you do, Sir?
Shake hands with the best swordsman in the Old World.
And in the New World as well,
I presume, unless you've taken my advice
and put away your sword.
In this part of the world that would be very unwise, indeed.
Centuries of tradition has left us with
a mentality that resists any attempt at change.
Europe is old and set in its ways,
but the New World is the ideal place to create a model...
of humanity, and justice in government.
Ten years later, and you’re still having the same daydreams.
And perhaps, ten years from now they will have come true.
And even you will agree it was worth waiting for.
Miguel, you're about to become the governor of a colonial province…
… that has always been ruled by greed and hatred.
- In the past, yes, but -- - You can't change it.
Perhaps not. But I shall die trying.
You see Diego, it was God's will that
my uncle should die of malaria,
and I should take his place as the new governor.
And...
I shall govern according to God's will.
If your uncle died of malaria, it was Man's will, not God's.
What are you saying?
There is no malaria in the eastern provinces.
- Maria, pay no attention. He-- he's jok-- - I'm not joking, Miguel.
You are, if you think you can play the shining knight in armor without armor.
- Diego, my honor is my armor! - The armor of the fool!
Don't you call my father a fool!
He's the bravest man in the world!
You’re not as brave as he is!
- You're the fool, you’re the fool!
Come on, dear, time to go to bed.
- Don’t you talk that way to my father! - All right, dear, come along.
... he had no right to say it, I don’t care.
- I'm sorry, Miguel. - Oh, it doesn't matter.
A son is bound to think a lot of his father.
- Why don't you stay with me a little longer? - No, thank you…
I have to get an early start in the morning.
I understand.
I’m much too restless to sleep.
Perhaps Joaquín will take the evening air with me.
He's my friend and servant. He cannot speak, but he can hear…
perfectly.
So, it was good to see you again.
Good bye… Governor.
Come.
Thank you.
Miguel!
Kill him —
Miguel!
- Who sent you? - Huerta… Colonel Huerta.
I want to know why. Why… why?
No governor must reach Nueva Aragón.
Diego, no-- Deigo, no!
Oh, Diego…
everywhere I go I find man’s need for violence.
Very well…
No governor will arrive there.
Yes, he will. A governor will arrive there.
And he'll make them pay for this.
Believe me.
No, Diego. You can't go. You’d go there to kill.
Save your strength, Miguel, please.
Diego, you must promise…
Swear to me, if you go in my place, the new governor will never kill.
Remember, Diego, I am that governor.
My principles… my ideals…
You must keep them alive, Diego.
Take this seal, and swear on the life of my son…
I have but a moment.
Swear.
I swear.
¿Papá?
No, Rafaelito.
It's me.
Your father had to go away last night...
to take up his post as governor.
But why didn't he take me with him?
Because his job is a very dangerous one.
He had to go alone.
But you were right.
Your father is the best and bravest man in the world.
And for that reason,
he will succeed.
Whoa!
Gentlemen of the Aristocratic Council…
it is three months now since our governor died.
And his successor has not yet arrived from Spain.
The simple truth is...
that Spain is too distant from Nueva Aragón.
And our situation is far too serious to tolerate another moment’s delay.
Our enemies surround us on every side.
Up in the Cordillera, the English have hired bandits,
who systematically harass and rob our transports.
In the interior they build revolution.
What we need, Gentlemen, is drastic action, and we need it now.
I call upon you to place in my hands...
an army...
and...
the authority of our government.
I assume I have your consent, Gentlemen.
Consent by silence… eh, Colonel Huerta?
You are Colonel Huerta, are you not?
I am.
But of course, Gentlemen… I can understand,
and appreciate the heavy weight of such a responsibility.
What responsibility is it you're talking of?
Why, my own, naturally.
I am… Miguel Vega de la Serna.
By sovereign grace… your new governor.
My commission, Colonel.
Gentlemen, Gentlemen… a little decorum, please.
When did you arrive, Your Excellency?
But a moment ago.
I did not want to interrupt you…
as I thought the occasion offered me a splendid opportunity...
to assess the circumstances.
And were you able — Did you assess the circumstances?
Oh!
Oh, I'm afraid so.
And unless you exaggerate, things are very bad, indeed.
To think that I was already sufficiently shaken...
by the tragic death of my poor uncle, Don Fernando.
Well, there’s time to talk of all this…
But, for the moment, I must beg you to excuse me.
I’ve not yet had the chance to kiss my dear aunt.
But you’ve no idea how poor Uncle Fernando contracted the sickness?
Likely, he picked it up from some wicked woman.
Malaria?
You ask many questions, my dear nephew.
But the fact that until now I have never seen you…
…that means nothing to you?
I don't understand. What are you saying?
I mean simply that if I don't know what you look like,
it is because of my life long disinterest
in any and all matters concerning our family.
I tell you this, so you won't feel obliged to engage me in small talk.
But of course, excuse me, my dear aunt,
I'm sure Uncle Fernando's death upset you dreadfully.
Ha! Upset me? You're joking!
I was upset that his death didn't occur some 20 years earlier!
We lived as perfect strangers…
Ask your uncle's best friend, they shared the master bedroom.
- They were inseparable. - Really?
- Who was that? - He called him Assassin.
I see.
Oh-- Is that who you mean?
Assassin.
What an amusing name! Is it justified?
And now good night, my dear nephew.
I hope we see as little of each other as possible.
Come, Tiger Lily… you know you can’t read.
Allow me myself to introduce.
Extellence… Rittmeister Fritz von Merkel,
Personal Aide to His Extellence, your late uncle.
At your order, Sir.
At ease, Captain, at ease.
And all this bounty of the gods… you brought it?
I had unexpected good fortune, Herr, this thoughtful gift for you to receive.
They were the favorite sweets of His Extellence, Don Fernando.
Thank you. Bring me some.
Watch out! - (comic German outrage)
I'm Sorry, Sir. I am terribly sorry!
Oh, but--
Don’t worry, Captain, it won’t go to waste.
Have a look…
Now what's this, Captain?
Indigestion… or malaria?
Indigestion?
Oh! It-- It goes up there.
Oh, yes. It does. Thank you.
How could I have known?
They were by the same person for to always them deliver
to His Extellence, Don Fernando.
Perfect! The bodyguard administers the poison.
But, Señora, you can not believe that I --
All I know is that incompetence among men...
be they governors or bodyguards, is
all that’s left to amuse me in this world.
My dear Miguelito.
Do you know what this is?
Oh, dear. No… tell me.
It is the habit I shall wear when I enter the convent.
Oh, it's just the thing for such a place.
Something joyous, something gay.
Better the convent than another marriage any day.
And you men, you can’t even imagine a woman could exist without
your muscled, masculine protection!
Isn't that so, Miguelito?
Well, I --
I'm a man of peace, my dear aunt.
One is not even sport.
You four.
Enough!
If you want to stay alive, you’ve a lot to learn. Now go!
Splendid! Splendid!
But I always thought this sort of drill...
was conducted with blunted weapons.
Only real danger and actual bleeding can teach a man to fight.
Besides, their weapons are equally as sharp as mine.
Colonel Huerta,
It has taken me only 24 hours to realize the gravity
of the situation here in Nueva Aragon.
May I request you prepare plans for the protection and security of our people?
I am sure...
I will approve any measures you would think necessary.
I’m moved by your faith in me, Your Excellency.
Moreover…
I should be very much reassured...
if you would arrange personally...
for my own physical safety.
It would be an honor, your Excellency!
And I have the very man. Garcia!
At your service, Excellency!
Him?
Oh, yes, him.
Garcia.
Extraordinary!
Well, well.
I assume his appetite is as great as his strength?
- My appetite? - Yes.
Seeing as you'll be required to taste each and every course of my meals.
Colonel Huerta… please.
Now, we'll see how long Huerta will be happy…
with a weak governor, instead of a dead one.
Now we’ve got to find the way to get out of this museum.
You shut up, now.
What?
He wants to talk to me?
You want to say something?
Well… a secret passage.
How convenient.
Don Fernando’s road to adventure.
Oh, yes, a stairway.
We’ll use it to get some answers.
Thanks.
No, no, no. You want answers? Go somewhere else.
There're many things I don't like, including the work I do.
But what I like least of all…
is people asking questions.
Understand?
They are my goats! My goats are loose!
Who opened the gate?
¡Oh, caramba! Who opened the gate? ¡Manuel, Jose…!
Stop them, please. I am ruined… ruined!
Who opened the gate?
It was done on purpose to ruin me.
My goats, my pretty goats…
Hurry - get them back into the pen…
I want them counted.
One peso, good for me, good for people - one peso!
You want some corn, Señor?
Hey, there, brother…
In can't talk, I’m busy.
Listen, my friend, I've only been here a couple of days.
What can you tell me about life in Nueva Aragón ?
Oh, no.
Forgive me, Señor. But you can see what I sell.
It's not much, and it's not very pretty.
It’s worth only a few centavos,
But I produce it from the land.
And the land is hard. It ruins the hands.
But if I talk too strangers, I’ll risk even what little I have in life.
After all, I have my wife and children to think about.
Sorry, sir.
Don’t touch!
- They buy? - They buy.
They pay less each day.
I know, it’s unfair.
No, Señor. Thanks just the same.
I'm only a wandering minstrel and I want nothing…
just my song and… my freedom.
Not the chickens — My chickens, no!
Why do you stand there - Get the guard!
Call the guards, arrest those chickens --
They’re flying away.
Help, somebody.
Ramón, Jose. Ah, my chickens, my chickens...
Get them back before someone kills them! I want them counted! Every one counted -
Brothers! Hear me!
Hear me, everybody.
Brothers, my friends, you know I'm one of you.
We all wear the same rags.
And we all know the same hunger in our bellies.
We will one day share the justice of heaven’s kingdom.
But what about here and now?
We suffer all too patiently.
We are too full of fear.
Now a new governor has come.
Perhaps he is an honest man, a just man…
and if he is, why don't we go to him, all of us together…
and ask him to hear us out?
Clear the streets!
I say we should go to him, all of us together....
Clear the streets! Out of the way!
Brother Francisco, the soldiers. Come quickly - quickly!
I want that monk!
Find him.
Find the monk.
Where is he? Who saw him?
I saw him, General… he went that way.
¡Vamos, vamos, por acqui! etc.
Where did the monk go, huh?
That way.
Listen, I'm not a soldier. You can trust me.
Where did he go?
All right. You're coming with me.
We’ll have a little chat with the man of the goats and chickens.
Chickens!
Make up your mind.
Will you trust me?
All right, you win.
- What's your name? - Chico.
All right, Chico, let's find the monk.
And we'll bring his cart back to him at the same time, all right?
Tell me, Chico, what’s the Z for that you wrote on the fence?
- It is the sign of Zorro. - Zorro? Who's Zorro?
He's the spirit of the black fox.
He is a great fighter, and he always wins. He can never die.
But aren’t you the monk's friend? You’re Christian, aren't you?
Yes, I'm Christian, but I believe in Zorro, too.
What do you believe?
I believe he'll come back one day and free all the poor animals.
Only the animals? What about the people?
Oh! People are too wicked and too afraid.
They don't deserve to be free.
(Soldiers speaking Spanish)
Chico!
(more commands in Spanish)
You don't understand.
Brother Francisco is the only good man on Earth.
Yes, Chico… I do understand.
My father’s the bravest man in the world.
He's braver than anybody.
Diego, you must swear that the new governor will never kill.
I swear.
Brother Francisco de la Trinidad…
You are accused of fraud against the merchant Ramiro Valdez…
witness here present.
You sold him rotten, worthless hides.
The hides were perfectly good.
Why don't you have a look at them?
Full of worms. I had to burn them.
You are a liar.
You will also be punished for insulting an honest tradesman.
You insult the truth, Señor Magistrado.
Very well, you will also be held in contempt of court.
Enough of this farce.
You know perfectly well the sentence has already been written.
And you know the real reasons for condemning this holy man.
He's guilty only of protesting injustice.
He's guilty of denouncing cheats, exploiters, profiteers.
Shut her up!
Ten lashes for fraud…
Ten more for defamation and slander!
(praying in Latin)
Enough!
We don't whip innocent people here anymore, Sergeant.
Who are you?
What do you want?
I want to show you what justice is.
First of all, you release Brother Francisco - Now!
Now arrest the real criminals --
The corrupt judge… the lying witness…
and the murdering executioner!
Thank god for your life, Sergeant!
It's the sign of Zorro.
- Zorro. - Zorro?
¡Zorro!
Go home, Brother, but leave the children here.
They should see that the law is fair.
The sentence is...
three times the number of lashes they wanted to give the monk.
Now start!
This is just the beginning…
How will you manage to take them all when you leave?
What makes you imagine that I would want to drag
this gallery of nightmares back to Spain?
Oh.
- Oh! Who is this delightful creature? - Your cousin…
Hortensia Pulido d'Olvidadez.
- Oh, I must meet her as soon as possible. - You want to meet her? Poor dear.
Clearly misfortunes never arrive alone.
Misfortunes?
The Pulido d'Olvidadez are virtually penniless.
But how is that?
- It’s what they deserve... - Oh…!
...for conspiring against the people of Nueva Aragón.
Colonel Huerta, you startled me.
- You came in like-- like an Assassin. - What?
Assassin, my uncle's dog.
You were saying that the Pulidos were conspirators…
There's undeniable proof of the fact.
How could it be... conspiracy?
Oh… just look at that face.
It's all purity, innocence.
Why do you put up with this?
Don't you see that unless you throw them off your back,
these people will starve and enslave you?
You know full well the weights of your grain, your livestock.
You know those scales are rigged!
Señorita, stop that nonsense!
You are trying to cause trouble for us.
We have enough trouble with that bandit, Zorro.
I'm here for your protection…
and my presence will teach that clown to keep his distance.
What clown, Sergeant?
Tell your soldiers to drop their weapons.
Oh, Zorro!
I need you, Sergeant Garcia.
- And I need you alive. - Yes, sir.
You heard the gentleman -- Drop your guns by the well.
- Ah, you’re a born leader, Garcia. - Yes, Sir.
- Up on a scale. - Yes, sir.
All right…
let's see.
Only 50 lbs!
So you are full of hot air, Garcia.
Now, are you ready to order those thieves to pay a fair price
for a fair weight?
Or you have more tricks up your sleeve?
Just one!
Not bad, Sergeant.
Have you got another one?
If I catch you I'll kill you!
Is that a fact!
If at first, you don't....
succeed… try again!
Keep coming!
He's coming!
¡Ole!
Stand still! stand still! You move around too much.
Hold!
You would like that, wouldn't you?
All right, then. I'm standing still!
¡Ole!
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo!
You moved.
- Did I? - Yes.
I apologize.
Oh—your weapon!
I'm sorry.
¡Ole!
Ladies and gentlemen, listen everyone.
Sergeant Garcia wants to return what he stole from you.
Take it all back home with you.
Come on. Take him!
Let me give a hand!
One.
And two.
Oxen, goats… Go… Go!
Ah, you are the one.
Arrest him! Get the sergeant - Yes, he did it.
He tried to steal the goats.
He's getting away!
Wear it with pride, Garcia!
Señorita —
Good evening.
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
José.
I've been waiting for you, Señorita.
You're safe. Thank God.
I must say this is the first time
I've seen an aristocrat take sides with a bandit.
It is innocent people, not bandits
who are pursued by soldiers here.
Where does your family stand in all this?
It's a long sad story.
How could it interest you?
You seem to forget that I’m here to bring back justice into this province…
and maybe the joy into your eyes.
The soldiers! You’d better run. I'm afraid for you.
Don’t be.
Please go. I beg you.
Hasta la vista, Señorita.
What are you doing here?
Search the house, question everyone.
But first, bring me Pulido and his wife.
My parents are not at home.
Then I’ll have to wait for them.
The rest of you search the outlying areas.
The bandit is here somewhere.
Now, you and I must talk.
You won’t be needed.
Why not make the most of this opportunity?
- I'm offering to marry you. - You stay away from me.
I'm giving you a chance to redeem your entire family.
I know that at this moment...
it may seem like a sacrifice to you…
but ultimately…
ultimately… you may find it a pleasurable experience.
There's only one way you can pay for that.
That's enough, Colonel.
If you don't know how to respect a woman, I'll have to teach you.
You’re very brave. First you disarm me… then you challenge me.
I'm just a bandit, remember?
And a bandit will do anything to get what he wants.
I want you on your knees, begging forgiveness from this lady.
- You must be mad. - On your knees.
Now.
- I'm an officer. - You're an insect. Down!
Never.
Colonel, when I get bored with tearing your uniform…
I'll cut your heart out.
Swear you will never offend her again.
I swear.
Please forgive me.
Now, get out.
- You're leaving? - You'll be safe here.
Take care, please. I'm still afraid for you.
If only I could help....
You've given me another reason to live and fight.
That’s help enough.
Thank you.
We shall meet again, bandit!
Look at him celebrating my departure.
I didn’t expect him to go into mourning…
but this is ridiculous.
Traveling with so much wealth!
I’ll worry about you. What about the bandits in the hills?
The bandits of the ”korliera?”
Just let them to start something try.
Forward!
Adios —
(Spanglish) ¿What’s los?
Halt! Banditen!
Eh?
(German alarm)
(comic Germ-glish) Hey, back auf, kinders! Chaarrgge!
Take that, und that! Charge, men, charge!
Not that way, over here! Men, charge!
Halt! Kinder!.
The alt ist mine!
Bravo, Captain, bravo!
Charge men, charge!
Oh!
(incomprehensible comic German)
I'll show you!
You think I’m afraid of you? Come on!
Give me more bandits!
(continued comic German outrage)
Take that und that!
Wunderbar! Alles kaput!
Joaquín…
Stop! I order you to stop!
I’ll catch you if it’s the last thing I do!
No, Captain!
No.
My Lady, they are stealing your treasure.
You are my treasure!
Colonel Huerta will be pleased.
(Indistinct Spanish)
Zorro!
- Who's responsible for this? - Zorro.
Halt! Halt!—Whoa!
(Latin mass & organ music)
Take off your gold, ladies and gentlemen…
and hand it over to me.
Look. It's the angel Gabriel.
I'm taking up a collection for innocent victims of corruption and robbery.
What better way to celebrate this feast of humiliation?
I am sure you'll all be generous.
Get out!
- We take the prisoners to the mine, Sir. - Very well.
Colonel, I'm very worried.
Throughout the country the people despair of these mass arrests.
Is there no possibility this campaign will provoke a...
a major rebellion?
Your Excellency, I do know what I'm doing.
This bandit who calls himself Zorro must be caught and killed.
And the people who helped him must be made to pay for their treachery.
Here, take this.
Komm, Schätzchen
The bandits of the Cordillera! I knew it, I just knew it!
Oh, goodness gracious!
Oh, my poor dear!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Miguelito, you wouldn't believe it!
- Fritz here… he threw himself upon them! - Oh.
Single handily, he mowed them down.
We wandered lost for days, we battled the mountains,
crossed the jungles.
Fritz hunted, then was able to sustain us.
He located water, bound up my wounds.
He’s the man I shall marry, Miguelito.
If he will only have me.
But…
but this is fantastic —
a fairytale!
D’you know what I'll do in your honor, my dear aunt?
We'll throw a great party!
Count and Countess Pulido, and their daughter, Hortensia.
I’m delighted you received my—
I’m delighted you received my invitation.
I’ve looked so forward to meeting you.
All the injustice…
the countless outrages we have suffered these many years, Father.
Why, they pale before so Splendid a reception.
If to say nothing of the great pleasure
of being once again surrounded by people of our own class.
Noblemen and Ladies,
who never so much have lifted a finger to help us.
Oh, Cousin Hortensia, you speak with such confidence.
There may be gentleman present
who would take issue with your pronouncements.
Gentleman? I notice no gentleman.
- My my my… - Colonel Huerta.
Perhaps Señorita Hortensia means...
that the role of a gentleman can be fulfilled only by a bandit.
If you refer to Zorro, Colonel Huerta,
you already know that I’ve had ample opportunity...
to compare that so-called bandit with the likes of you.
Señorita!
Please forgive me.
Excuse me…
That silly dog…
Now what have you done?
Have you written me a poem?
Aah! Oh, my God!
Governor, the verdict is in:
you've been pronounced guilty, the sentence death.
Signed, Zorro.
Z--Z--Z-- Zorro!
Ohhh…
Oh, no! Oh, dear, dear.
- Oh, no! - Guards! Guards!
Oh, my Goodness!
From now on the doors of this apartment will be sealed.
I alone will have the keys.
We will install an alarm system.
A double rope connecting this room to the outer chambers.
Every quarter of an hour I will pull the first rope.
The bell will ring… here.
And you will reply by pulling the other rope here,
signaling… that everything is well.
- I have other ideas -- - Very well, Captain…
- Now, leave us. - Zufrieden
Your Excellency…
Your Excellency —
I devise a perfect plan to capture Zorro.
Hortensia Pulido will be taken prisoner…
Tied in chains… and dragged around publicly…
until Zorro comes out of hiding to rescue her.
But... but Colonel, she's an aristocrat, my own cousin.
Oh, no, no… no, I can't--
It's a matter of life and death, Your Excellency.
- Your life. - Ooh! My life!
- Your death. - Ooh… my death.
Hurry up! Get in!
Go!
- How did you get in here? - Through the front door.
- Who are you anyway? - No time to talk.
- Ready to leave? - Leave! How?
With the key.
I knew Huerta and the guards were waiting for me in the streets.
So I came here instead.
I had time to prepare your escape.
Brother Francisco will hide you.
And Huerta will look like a fool he is.
But the guards are all here now, how can we get by them?
I’ve arranged some surprises for them. You'll see.
Turn left and go into the second door.
What was that? Go and see.
Zorro!
Break it open.
(gulp!)
Ahh, caramba… Arm, people!
(general panicked alarm)
¡No escaparán! Por aquí-
C’mon.
- My horse is down there, go straight to the mission./ - And you?
Idiot! Idiot! If they escape you’ll all be shot!
Hurry up! Go!
Forget about the girl — Get Zorro!
(Indistinct panic and alarm)
This way - follow me, men.
(Theme Song) ***Zorro’s Back***
Quickly, after him!
(***Zorro theme continues***)
¡Vamos, amigos, vamos!
Of course!
There’s only one other person who knew of this plan.
Of course… what plan?
Come with me.
A horse! A horse! Get me a horse!
A horse. My kingdom for a horse.
Come with me.
The keys to the governor's room, give them to me.
Impossible. Without orders from his Excellence, nobody gets the keys.
If you don't give me the keys, I kill you.
I'll give you the keys.
All right, get down. Get down, Assassin.
Open the door.
Look, I'm on your side, but you’ll have to cooperate.
Slide under the bed.
My apologies, Your Excellency.
Colonel Huerta?
W-W-What is going on?
Zorro has rescued Hortensia Pulido…
from the fortress.
He was waiting there for her.
He seemed to be aware of each and every aspect of our plans.
Well, that's impossible.
Impossible, maybe, but it happened.
Only one person besides myself knew this plan - you.
But Excellency, I could say the same thing.
Colonel, have you gone mad?
If I were mad… would I be here?
W-W-What do you mean?
I'm here for one purpose and one purpose only - to capture Zorro…
… and to see him hanged.
Fair enough, Colonel.
- I think there's only one thing I can do. - Oh, yes…
I agree.
You recall the message? I'm the one Zorro wishes to destroy.
Therefore, I'm the one who must serve as bait.
- You? - How else can we tempt him?
It's his life... or my own.
It's not that I doubt your abilities, Sergeant Garcia…
but are you sure you've seen to everything?
The forest is alive with soldiers, Your Excellency.
Every shrub, every tree, every rock on each bank,
conceals men armed to the neck…
… and ready to defend you.
Very well, then…
we shall carry out the plan to the letter… furiously.
Now, real fishermen always separate.
You'll go downstream, and I’ll go further up. Good luck.
There he is -- out there!
Follow!
- Garcia. - Yes, Sir.
- Garcia, where’s the governor? - I don't know where he is.
He was over there behind that rock.
But now he's gone. It's not my fault.
There he is.
Is he alone?
Headed toward the plain.
Well, get after him!
Bu- But-- what about His Excellency?
Are we just going to abandon him?
Garcia, if you still think the governor’s around here
you’re a bigger fool than I think you are.
Oh, look! Look, I got one. I got one!
What is it you were saying, Colonel?
You see? Heh!
There's no time for explanations, Your Excellency.
Get after him.
¡A me, muchachos!
Oh, but you're not going to leave me all alone?
At least, allow Sergeant Garcia to stay with me.
With pleasure!
It's a trout! He took it hook, line and sinker.
No.
Now, now. Calm down.
Don’t swallow you words, come in.
- Dos más dos… - ¡Quatro!
Muy bien.
Now listen, everybody…
Let's put the arithmetic aside for a minute.
You have got to help Zorro!
Yes!
- Do you all remember what to do? - Yes!
Niños, come — come, come, come —
(warnings shouted in Spanish)
This way, over here, now, hurry!
I want to be Zorro.
Here you are. Here. Here’s yours…
Here’s your mask.
Here is your mask.
Come.
(commanding in Spanish)
There’s no one here.
Search everywhere!
There he is!
¡Vamos, vamos—rapido!
Sergeant…
Yes, Sir?
I'm exhausted.
I'm going into the carriage for a nap.
Don't wake me for any reason than to tell me Zorro’s been captured.
Yes, Sir, Your Excellency!
(Speaking Spanish)
Where is he?
This way!
- ¡Alto! - Whoa!
There! (commands in Spanish)
(Indistinct gambling chatter)
Zorro!
Don’t worry, men… my sword is coming.
On second thought, I’ll save it to protect the governor.
- Garcia. - Yes, Sir?
Your governor’s inside the carriage, trussed up like a chicken.
Now, either you do what I tell you,
or I'll wring his neck and have him stuffed and fed to the dog.
Come on!
Don't shoot.
Don't shoot! He's a child.
He's a child!
Follow me.
Take him to the mine. I’ll join you there later.
Garcia, stop.
Two birds with one stone, eh, Sergeant?
Drop your guns, men.
The governor's inside, with Zorro’s gun pointed at his head.
Thank you, Sergeant.
If I live through this, you can be sure of my eternal gratitude.
Have no fear, Your Excellency.
Everything is proceeding according to my strategy.
(command in Spanish)
Release the monk!
Exactly… release the monk.
Have faith, Brother. You're not alone.
Drop your rifles, all of you. That's an order.
Now release them, all of them, immediately.
Now, release them, all of them, immediately.
Brothers!
Freedom!
Hurray, hurray! Freedom.
Hurray! Freedom!
Freedom....!
Huerta… the soldiers… they’re coming this way.
Hurry up - release them!
They're almost here. You'd better go.
Into the woods, quickly! Run for it!
You too, Brother, they need you.
Hey, hey, hey. Go to the woods.
That’ll be all, Sergeant. The governor stays with me.
Dismissed!
I go.
Have a nice trip.
Good bye, Hortensia. And good luck.
- I'm coming with you. - No, you’re not!
- Halt! - ¡Alto!
- Where’s Zorro? - Zorro!
You go that way. The rest of you come with me.
¡Vamos- etc!-
- What do you think you are doing? - I'm coming with you.
- You’re mad. - Yes, about you.
What?
I love you.
It’s Huerta!
There he is!
Look!
Whoa…
You must go now, for you must live.
The people need you more than ever.
Go… go.
So it's over.
The bandit is dead.
And as for the governor…
well, at least he will have the hero's death.
Now Nueva Aragón have a new governor.
And you… if your father knows what's good for him,
you will have a husband.
So, so… Fire on Christ, if you dare.
With Christ we ask for justice.
With Jesus on our side, we demand our freedom.
You may thank your god…
that in honor of this occasion, I’ve decided to pardon you.
Only God can pardon.
In this very church...
you contrive to profane the Lord’s sacrament.
Down on you knees!
And pray for his mercy.
Guards - arrest this… priest.
Arrest him!
¡Detenerlo!
¡¡Detenerlo!!
I'm afraid this bell is ringing for you, Colonel Huerta.
- Zorro! - You have the rebellion on your hands.
The blood of your victims cries for justice.
And justice will be done.
Zorro! He's alive. Zorro can never die!
¡Detenerlo!
Guards! Fire, fire!
Don't shoot… don't shoot!
No!
Huert--
You fool!
This demonstration is illegal!
Ask for more soldiers and make—
Guards, retake order.
Come on!
Come with me.
You almost got away with it, Colonel -
But you pushed these good people a little too far.
And now they're going to push you back.
The murder of Brother Francisco...
releases me from the promise I made to another man of peace…
who you butchered! It's easy to kill saints, Colonel.
Let’s see how you do against a sinner.
Come on…
defend yourself.
I'll have that mask off you…
even if I have to chase you to hell for it.
You’ll kill no more, Colonel… no more.
He's dead.
He's dead!
The bandit is dead!
He's dead!
Dead… Who's dead?
Zorro is dead!
Not quite.
The game not over yet, Colonel.
Have no fear, Colonel Huerta, Garcia’s here…
Now bandit,
one of us must die.
Well, then,
let it be the moment of truth.
You.
Your Excellency.
Now!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurrah!
(song)***Here’s to being free, here’s to flying high… Zorro’s back!***
