Ha-ha-ha!
- What's going on here?

Make way for the acting comandante.

Entertaining the little ones, eh?

Don't look at me.
I haven't got your watch.

I... I... Ugh.

No, no. You cannot
pay with these pebbles.

- I want eight pesos. Duros. Hard money.
- I have no money.

Then you cannot take my foodstuffs.

What I gave you is worth
more than eight pesos!

You Gypsies are all alike,
trying to cheat decent, honest folk!

I'll call the soldiers,
have you locked up.

No! Wait!

I'm not trying to cheat him, señor.

But I've come from the foothills.
I need the supplies.

- Now he will not let me take them.
- Of course I won't.

Look, Don Diego, look what
she is trying to pass off.

They are pretty.

Where are they from?
The sierra.

I know little of these matters, but, uh,

is it possible they are
small gold nuggets?

Gold nuggets?

Why, everybody knows
there is no gold in California.

Will you help me? You keep these
and pay him the eight pesos?

I promise you will not regret it.

You are being taken in, Don Diego.

Those nuggets cannot be gold.

Just remember, she is a Gypsy,

and Gypsies are born
thieves and tricksters.

- Bah!
- But, uh...

this one is so simpatica.

- What is your name, little one?
- Marya Montoya.

Montoya?
Aha, now I know who she is.

Her mother is the witch
the superstitious Indians see.

It's my grandmother,
and she's not a witch! She's a curandera.

Thank you, señor, for your kindness.
I am most grateful.

As for you, may you have
a mother-in-law with the evil eye

- and find scorpions in your bed!
- Ha-ha-ha!

I tell you, Gypsies
are the children of the devil.

I would not keep those pebbles.

They are bewitched.
I'll see if your order is ready.

Excuse me, señor, I overheard
the conversation. May I see them?

May I ask who you are?

I'm a prospector from Mexico.

Perico Verdugo a sus ordenes.

No?

No. This is pyrite,

commonly known as fool's gold because
it resembles the real thing so much.

These are worthless.

Uh, señor?

My pebbles, please.

You want them?

They are pretty to look at.

Well...

Where is your carriage, Don Diego?

Uh, over there.

Thank you, Don Diego.
Remember me to your father.

Can you not see that I am busy?

- Why have you come back?
- I have something of interest.

What is it?

It is private.

Señor Cuevas is in my confidence.
What is urgent?

Señores, there is gold in California.

What old wives' tale is this?

No one has reported a trace of it here.

Nevertheless,
I have seen it with my own eyes.

Nuggets of pure gold.

- Where?
- Ah, I thought you would be interested.

But first, we must come
to an agreement.

By all the santos! It is gold, Diego.

- Apparently the prospector was mistaken.
- Let us hope he did not recognize it.

I'm afraid of what would happen
if the news leaked.

I saw a gold rush in Mexico once.
I shall never forget it.

The worst elements poured in.

Farmlands were dug up, destroyed.
Lawlessness and violence took over.

Imagine what would happen

if foreigners came and
heard there was gold?

They would swarm into our
country like hungry locusts.

No. I do not wish to see
our land invaded and ruined.

Nor do I.

You must find this girl at once.

The prospector lied to throw me off,

then went to the magistrado to report it.

The magistrado is dangerous
enough without the power of gold.

But he will not believe it
without proof, and I have the nuggets.

I must get to that Gypsy
before the prospector does.

No. She knows me as Diego.

But just in case it becomes
necessary to hide my identity,

bring Zorro's outfit along with you.

Yes, you're going too.

The goatherd said the foot of the mountain
that looks like a buffalo skull.

There is the mountain.

What's the matter? Are you
sorry you came along?

Where is your spirit of adventure?

Ha-ha-ha. Come.

We must find the house of the witch.

Don't you want to go in with me?

Would you rather wait out here alone?

What do you want?
The night is late.

We wish to see the curandera
on an urgent matter.

Enter.

What brings you here at this hour?

I understand you make
a powerful love potion.

Surely a handsome caballero like you
has no need for that?

Well, it's, uh... it's for my friend.

Oh, in that case, it may take several!

This white pellet should be dissolved in
the chocolate of the lady of your choice.

The second day, you give her this red one.

On the third day, if she hasn't
fallen madly in love with you,

toss this black pellet
in the fireplace in front of her,

and she will fall right into your arms.
Cinco pesos.

But are you certain it will work?

You don't believe me? Watch.

The demonstration was
an unqualified success!

It is not often that I am
honored by rich clients.

Who sent you?

I met Marya in the plaza today.

Oh, so you are the kind gentleman
who bought my pretty pebbles?

Sit. Can I get you something, please?

Some hot chocolate, perhaps, huh? Si?

Heh. No, no, thank you.

By the way, has anyone been
asking about these pebbles?

No, señor.

Do you have any others?

No, that is all the Indian woman give me.

You got them from an Indian?

Yes. Last spring, my granddaughter,
she go up the mountain back of here.

She found this woman
lying by the trail, very sick.

So my granddaughter brought her,
and I cure her.

She had no money,

but she give me those pebbles
saying I must not show them to no one.

But we are poor, señor,

so finally, I decided
I would see if they had any value.

Well, you need be poor no longer. Here.

This is for your trouble.

Blessed be the three Marias!

It is a fortune.

Speak to no one of these pebbles,
or harm may befall you.

Oh, I shall tell no one,
I swear by the horned moon.

I must find the Indian and warn her
to keep silent. Where does she live?

My granddaughter can tell you.

- When shall that be?
- Only one hour ago,

two men came seeking help
for a sick child.

- My granddaughter went to get her.
- Describe these men.

One stayed back with his horses,
I could not see his face.

The other had a scar on his cheek.

Thank you. It is getting late,
and we must go.

Buenas noches.
Buenas noches, gracias.

Come any time you wish.
You are quite welcome.

They forced her to guide them
up the mountain. We must find the trail.

You are right, Bernardo.
Here are their prints.

There is only one trail up this mountain.

Go on.

I tell you, I do not know
where the Indian woman lives.

But you came with her.

Part of the way. She would
not let me go beyond a certain point.

Take us where you left her. Andale.

Now what?

It is too dangerous
to ride beyond here.

Well, then we will walk. Dismount.

Up there, Bernardo.

This is as far as the Indian
woman let me come.

Where did she go?

She disappeared among those rocks.

Tie the horses. You come with me.

- Let me go!
- Come on!

No! Do not make me
go any further!

Why? You afraid
of the painted rattlesnake?

It is a sign of death.

Ha, ha. I'm not superstitious.

Let me go!

- Come back here.
- No, no!

Stop that!

Now you listen to me,
you little wildcat.

Try to escape again, and I'll slit
your throat, understand?

There is a passage.

That's the way
she must have disappeared.

Look.

Here.

This is the way they went up.
Let us hide the horses.

Hold her.

There must be some more
around here somewhere.

Think it's time for Zorro to take over?

Give me my clothes.

Caray. I think I found their mine.

Come on.

Let go of me!

The girl's beads.

This is the passage they took.

Yes, I saw it. But it is
the live ones we worry about.

Wait here, I shan't be gone long.

This vein seems to be of solid gold.

The Indians are working it now.

- Are you not afraid they will return?
- We can't leave. Quick, fill it up.

Your shirt, pockets, everything.

Now we must go.

We can come back with others
after we report to the magistrado.

Are you crazy?

We'll tell the magistrado
there was no gold.

- And keep all this for ourselves?
-Naturalmente, hombre.

Why should we share
all this beautiful gold with anyone?

No, amigo, you and I,
we're going to be partners.

Get her!

Zorro!

Perico, I just saw Zorro outside.

- What would he be doing up here?
- I do not know, but it was Zorro.

Ah, cobarde!

You looking for me, señor?

I shall test the courage
of this legendary bandit.

Go! Andale!

Come on. Ugh. Ahh!

I come as a friend, not an enemy.

For years we have lived in peace,

and our land is invaded by white men.

How did you find your way here?

I followed this man and another
who came to steal your gold.

It is bad that you find out our secret.

Now you must die.

Why should you kill me? I respect
your land and everything it contains.

I came to keep him
from telling others your secret.

- You do not want gold?
- I do not want yours.

All white men want gold.
They will rob and kill for it.

They want it for what it will buy.

We prize it for its beauty,

but you cannot understand that.

- Perhaps I can.
- Then you are different from others.

Still, you cannot go back.

If I do not return,
others will come looking for me.

- Then your secret will be discovered.
I think not.

It has been planned that
if your people ever find it,

the face of this mountain will change.

The sierra will keep its secret.

Who is this one?

A white sorcerer
with great powers of magic.

This is not magic.

This is what white men
have to use to tell the time.

Do not scoff at this man.
He can make the lightning flash.

He possesses red, white
and black magic.

The old Indian was right.
The sierra has kept its secret.

Yes, Bernardo, it will be some time
before gold is discovered in California.

That was just a warning, comandante.

Next week, a jealous
comandante and his flirtatious wife

become thorns in Galindo's plot
to win control of the army.

Join us next week as Zorro fights
to outwit the Eagle's henchmen

in another thrill-packed adventure
from the life of Zorro.
