As his daughter, if you were to sign
a paper stating he is incompetent

and unable to serve,

then we can say no to him even though
he insisted on active service again.

Otherwise, his is the final authority.

Are you interested in my father's health
or in your own political ambitions?

Merely trying to
straighten it out in my own mind.

What's most important to you?
To have a father who is governor?

Or a father who is alive?

For your information, Felipe,
my father will continue to be both.

Make sure he doesn't do anything foolish.

And I must make sure that
I don't do anything foolish.

Like signing a paper
declaring him incompetent to serve

The Walt Disney Studio
presents Zorro, starring Guy Williams.

Well, see how many I got in this time.

Not so many, Your Excellency.

Only seven.

- Are you sure?
-Sí.

Maybe you are tired,
we should quit for the day?

Oh, nonsense.

I have to get some exercise.

- Don Alejandro!
-Buenos días, Excellency.

- Alejandro.
- Sergeant.

Don Alejandro, His Excellency,

he has been wanting to play
another game of chess with you.

Won't you sit down, please?

- You, uh, sure you want to?
- I am flattered.

I thought I'd give you a chance
to get even.

I feel guilty making you play chess.

Are you sure you should not be resting?
The sergeant and I could help you to bed.

Oh, nonsense.

Although I have no doubt
that I could play chess in my sleep

well enough to defeat you.

Apparently, someone to see you.

Oh. Sergeant, see who it is.
Find out what he wants.

Sí, Your Excellency.

- Do you wish to see His Excellency?
-Sí. I heard he was here.

His Excellency has been injured.

The doctor has ordered him
to attend to no official business.

What about his aide, Capitán Arrellano?
I would like to see him.

Sí. He is the acting governor
until His Excellency gets well.

This way, señor.

Are you in there, capitán?
Your Excellency, please?

Uno momento.

You may enter.

It is a man to see His Excellency.

I mean, his other Excellency,
Your Excellency.

Get to the point, sergeant.

Capitán Arrellano, may I present Señor...

- What is your name again, please?
- Gabriel Luna, La Cañada.

It is His Excellency's cape.

How did it get in here?

I will see that it is returned
to His Excellency's closet.

Well, now, what is the nature
of your business, señor?

I wish to discuss with you this oath
of loyalty which you ask us to take.

There's really nothing to discuss.

If you are loyal, you'll take the oath.

Loyalty is sometimes like a double harness
for a team of horses.

If one has two good horses,
it is sensible to harness them together.

But it is stupid

to harness one good horse to a dead horse.

You mean that it is stupid to
keep California harnessed to Spain?

Not only that...

sometimes it is foolish for a young man,
such as yourself,

to remain loyal to an old man
who stands in his way.

It, uh... It could be very profitable...

being the governor of California.

You speak in riddles, Don Gabriel.

Permit me to be a little more frank.

I want no part of you,

your friends or your political henchmen,
if they represent the Rebatos.

And I will see you all in infierno before
I betray the man who has trusted me.

Now, get out. Get out!

Sí, capitán?

- Your Excellency?
- Sergeant Garcia,

I want you to take every precaution
to safeguard the governor.

Make sure no one sees him
unless you know who it is.

-Sí.
- And see that that stu--

And see that Corporal Reyes
understands this too.

I will explain it to him personally.

Ah. Finished playing chess so soon?

Ah, that man. He seems to think
I've nothing else to do

except sit and play chess
all day with him.

It's very strange, Father.
He never asks me to play anymore,

but then, I beat him
the only two times we played.

I have other things on my mind.

It is difficult to concentrate
on a game of chess.

You're right.

We have a great responsibility, Diego.

We could never forgive ourselves if
anything should happen to His Excellency

when he is a guest in our home.

Ah, there you are, Felipe.

You've been to another meeting.
How was it?

I think we're making progress,
Your Excellency, but, uh, it is not easy.

Well, there's no need for you
to do it all by yourself, Felipe.

I don't care what the doctor said.

Tomorrow, I am going to take over
part of my official duties.

- Now, Father...
- Your Excellency,

I'm sure I can handle the task.

And the doctor did say
that you were to have absolute rest.

No responsibility,
nothing hanging over you.

Time for bed, Your Excellency.

Nothing hanging over me, you say?

Well, this overstuffed musk ox
has been hanging over me

- day and night ever since I got here.
- But I am your orderly, Your Excellency.

"Orderly"? Look at you! Unkempt.

Unshaven! Un-pressed!

What is there about you that's orderly?

Why, that uniform looks like
you've slept in it.

Oh, I have, Your Excellency, I have!

Corporal Reyes,
will you come in here now, please?

It will be all right, Your Excellency.

Corporal Reyes and Bernardo
and Lugo and myself,

we will take you into your bedroom...

No, no, no!
I'm not ready to go to bed! No!

- All together now, men.
- Put me down, I say!

I'll have you court-martialed!
Leonar, speak to them!

This is high-handed treason!
I don't want to go to bed!

This way, lancers. That's it.

This is high-handed treason!

Why don't you listen to me? You idiots!

Poor Papa. He is not accustomed
to having his orders disobeyed.

And yet, for his own good, I...

I do not think he should take over
his active duties just yet.

- We mustn't let him.
- You can depend on me, my dear.

Surely, together we can make him
do what is best for him.

Gracias, Felipe.

It just happens that I was reading up
on California law,

trying to do my duty as acting governor...

- and there is one thing you can do.
-Sí?

As his daughter, if you were to sign
a paper stating he is incompetent

and unable to serve,
then we can say no to him,

even though he insisted on
active service again.

Otherwise, his is the final authority.

Are you interested in my father's health
or in your own political ambitions?

Merely trying to
straighten it out in my own mind.

What's most important to you?
To have a father who is governor?

Or a father who is alive?

For your information, Felipe,
my father will continue to be both.

You can want that no more than I do,
my dear. I'd give my life for him.

He is the finest man I know.

Oh, gracias.

We must look after him,

make sure he doesn't do anything foolish.

And I must make sure
that I don't do anything foolish.

Like signing a paper declaring
him incompetent to serve.

You'll come crawling back to me
before I'm through.

Bravo, Diego. That was beautiful.

And I'd love to hear more,
but it's time for my father's medicine.

- If I'm not there, he cheats.
- I know.

Buenos días, capitán.

Well, so this is how to be a caballero,
Diego?

Play the guitar, sing love songs
to someone else's señorita,

let the peóns do the work
and the soldiers fight the wars.

You are implying
that you are fighting a war?

Merely idle conversation, señor.

You, uh, find the señorita attractive,
do you not?

Sí, I find the señorita attractive,
and, uh...

I find this conversation
quite unattractive.

You will excuse me, huh?

Who goes there?

- Are you blind?
- No, Your Excellency.

The sergeant gave me orders to ask.

It is Capitán Felipe Arrellano,
acting governor of California.

Sí.

Who goes there?

I just told you! Didn't you hear me?

Those are my orders.
To ask three times, "Who goes there?"

And then shoot.

Sergeant Garcia? Sergeant Garcia!

Will you tell this payaso
to let me through that door?

You, uh... You wish to see
His Excellency, Your Excellency?

Sí.

Your Excellency, the capitán...
His Excellency...

This His Excellency would like to
speak to you, Your Excellency.

I know it's confusing, sergeant,
but please be patient.

Starting tomorrow, I will assume
the duties as governor.

And after that, it would not be proper
for you to address the capitán

- as "His Excellency."
-Gracias, Your Excellency.

Oh, sergeant, would you mind
waiting in the sala?

No, no, Your Excellency. I--

- What is it, Felipe?
- Your Excellency...

Please, I beg of you,
do not take over the duties so soon.

There is no need for it.
You should have complete rest.

But it is my responsibility.

And in spite of any orders
from the doctor, or arguments from you,

I cannot put it aside and forget about it.

What about me, Your Excellency?
Do you still feel that I've failed you?

I told you we would discuss that
more fully later on.

On our return to Monterey,
will I be relieved of my duties,

- sent back to Spain?
- I don't mean this as a criticism of you,

Felipe, but I think I should designate
someone a little more, uh,

steady to take charge.

In case anything should happen to me.

But we'll discuss that more fully
when we get back home.

In that case, Your Excellency,
if you will excuse me,

I have several appointments
this afternoon in the pueblo.

So he intends to relieve me
as acting governor.

Continue.

I was thinking,

if something should happen to him
after he relieved me,

things might be a little confusing.

California would be without
a permanent governor

until the viceroy arrived
and appointed a new one.

This might not be too good.

And when the viceroy
does make the appointment,

it might not be you.

And that might be even worse, eh, capitán?

So I thought, it's going to happen to him
sooner or later, anyhow,

- and there's nothing I can do to stop it--
- One moment, Your Excellency.

Now you are speaking in riddles,
so let me be frank.

If you wish us to kill the governor
tonight, just say so.

Then we must agree as to the price.

What do you mean, "the price"?

What do you think you could do?

Come here and ask us
to do your dirty work for you,

and then tomorrow,
order me out of your office again?

What is it you want?

This time,
you will not just go for a walk.

This time,
you will be in as deep as we are.

And if we fail, you will hang with us.

And if you succeed?

If we succeed, you will be the governor
of California...

Your Excellency.

Gracias.

Oh, corporal, this is excellent wine.

You people of Los Angeles
have every reason to be proud.

-Gracias.
- Oh, corporal,

see if Sergeant Garcia would care
to join me in a toast to the king.

Sí, capitán.

Oh, and corporal,
you will join us too, of course?

Sí. Gracias, capitán.

Shh! His Excellency
is asleep on the couch.

Ah, sergeant.

- It was nice of you to come.
-Gracias.

Sergeant, I've spoken rather sharply
to you at times,

but you appreciate the responsibility
I've had on my shoulders.

I'm sure you understand.

No. They were not poisoned.
More likely just put to sleep.

But later, they'll be shot
for sleeping at their post.

Sí.

Don Alejandro and the señorita
left about an hour ago,

but I could not get
young de la Vega to leave the premises.

- He's in his room reading a book.
- It does not matter.

If he tries to interfere,
we can handle him.

Where is the old man now?

- In the library.
- Good.

You go that way.
Enter the hacienda from the rear.

Make your way to the library.
And you go the other way.

Why do we not just go through now
and get it over with?

Somewhere in there,
that is where the others met Zorro.

Now, go.

Capitán...

there is no need for all of us
to be in there.

We will just get in the way.

But where can we watch
to make sure they finish the job?

Over there. If they come from
the back of the house to the library,

we can see them through those windows.

Zorro!

Drop your sword, señor,
or the fat sergeant pays with his life!

I warn you, capitán,

if you harm him, you'll not outlive him
by ten seconds.

Drop that sword or blame yourself
for his death!

That was a little too close for comfort.

Next time, don't sit around
twiddling your thumbs.

What happened to you, my friend?

Sergeant, you say you have
no recollection of hitting this man

- over the head with a bottle?
- Well, I...

No, Your Excellency.

It is unfortunate, capitán,
that your prisoners escaped this morning.

It would've been interesting to learn
the answers to many questions.

Why, it... was one of those things
that happen.

My horse stumbled,
I was off-balance for a moment,

- and they got away, just like that.
- Oh... Enough of that. I propose a toast

to those men who obviously
put up a tremendous battle on my behalf.

Capitán, sergeant, corporal.

Yes, and Zorro.

Wherever he is, I salute you.

This Zorro... we all take him
so much for granted.

He seems to be a friend
to everyone, but...

Somewhere there must be a man
who is a friend to Zorro.

I propose a toast to him.

Next week,
a gay masquerade party,

but among the guests is a killer.

Will he take the life of His Excellency
the governor, or that of Don Alejandro?

Look out!

Join Zorro next week
for amazing adventure in

the "Masquerade for Murder."
