Corporal Reyes.

Sí, sergeant.

What is this?

It's my laundry.

I can see it's your laundry, but what...?

I think this is the answer.

"Measles. Keep out."

Well, that is still no reason for...

Measles?

Sí, sergeant. Little red spots all over.

You mean all of my lancers have the measles?

Everybody in Los Angeles has them, almost.

Well, this is a shame.

Sí, padre.

I go away for two weeks.

I leave you in charge, and this is what happens.

Somehow I remember Los Angeles

as having more people.

Something must have happened.

Buenas tardes, padre.

Good to have you back, sergeant.

Corporal Reyes.

Sí, sergeant.

What is this?

It's my laundry.

I can see it's your laundry, but what...?

It was dirty.

Sergeant Garcia.

I think this is the answer.

"Measles. Keep out."

Well, that is still no reason for...

Measles?

Sí, sergeant. Little red spots all over.

You mean all of my lancers have the measles?

Everybody in Los Angeles has them, almost.

Well, this is a shame.

Sí, padre.

I go away for two weeks.

I leave you in charge, and this is what happens.

Really, sergeant, I don't think the corporal

can be held responsible for this.

Gracias, padre.

Tell me, did the doctor put up this sign?

Sí, padre. He put them all over.

Wherever there's one of these signs,

no one can enter or leave for two weeks.

That's why I am out here in the plaza, sergeant.

I can't get in.

Well, sergeant, you have your duties.

I'll go back to my quarters and see if I can find a doctor.

Perhaps I can help.

Of course, Padre.

Corporal Reyes.

Sí, sergeant?

While I was gone with the padre to San Diego,

tell me, did you resign from the army?

Oh, no, sergeant. I wouldn't do anything like that.

You are still a soldier?

Oh, sí, sergeant.

Then get on your feet! Attention!

Do the men in the cuartel have all the supplies they need?

Sí, sergeant. Everything.

Good. Now, I'm going to inspect the plaza.

Meanwhile...

you are on guard duty.

Sergeant.

There's a measles sign on the tavern too.

Padre Simeon.

Diego, my son. It's good to see you again.

Welcome back, padre. When did you return?

I'm just going to my quarters now.

I hope I won't find a measles sign there.

Oh, I don't think so.

All this wonderful weather.

Everyone has to stay inside for two weeks.

It's a shame.

Here, let me take this.

Oh, gracias. Gracias, Diego.

Is, uh, this the chalice from Spain?

Wait till you see it.

Beautiful, eh?

It's even more beautiful than I remembered it.

Come along.

Oh, Diego, can you stay for supper?

Gracias, padre, I have already eaten.

Oh, that's too bad. Carlos is an excellent cook.

You know the things he can do with frijoles.

Padre, did not expect you so soon.

The ship was a day early, Carlos.

Put these away, will you, please?

Of course, padre.

Oh, one moment, one moment.

The chalice, the chalice.

Wait a minute, Carlos. I want you to see this too.

Isn't it beautiful?

You were right, padre. It is beautiful.

May I? Certainly.

It's heavier than it looks.

It's made of solid gold.

But that is not where its value lies.

Of course not.

The, uh, dedication is on Sunday, eh?

Sí.

It is unfortunate that the measles

will keep so many at home.

Everyone is so anxious to see it.

I can imagine.

Well, padre, I must leave you now.

Bernardo is just behind me in the carriage.

We've been helping by taking supplies and medicines

to the ranchos under quarantine.

Diego, if I may, I will go with you.

And that way, those who cannot attend church Sunday

will be able to see it through their windows.

Good idea.

I will have supper ready for you, padre.

Fine, Carlos.

It's nice to be back.

Gracias, Diego.

I see you're still feeding him well.

Good night, corporal.

Night, sergeant.

Bernardo and I will return in the morning with more baskets.

Good. I will be ready.

Diego, did you notice their faces

when they saw the chalice?

Sí.

Even the little ones.

Especially the little ones.

You know there's still hope for this world

when the little ones have faith.

That's true, padre.

Buenas noches. Buenas noches.

And give my blessings to Don Alejandro, eh?

Sí, I will. Buenas noches.

Carlos. It is late.

I did not expect you to wait up for me.

I wanted to, padre.

Well, gracias.

You know, I showed the chalice to a dozen families.

You should have seen how pleased they were.

All crowded up against their window, smiling.

Then the chalice has served its purpose.

I don't understand.

I'll take it now.

Diego is right. It is heavy. This will bring many pesos.

There's very little market for chalices, my son.

Melted down, it's just another lump of gold.

You wouldn't.

This will mean a whole new life for me.

Oh, no, my son.

It'll mean the old one behind bars again.

You stole before because you were hungry.

Are you hungry again, Carlos?

Now, you listen to me.

They'll never let you go free again after this.

They will never catch me.

I'll have a two-week start.

"Measles. Keep out."

When they see this sign on your door,

they won't come near the place.

Get in here.

Carlos, think what you're doing.

I don't want to talk, padre.

Think, Carlos, it's not too late to stop.

No one need know.

Get in. Get in.

Carlos, there's no air in here. Carlos.

Carlos. Carlos.

Listen to me. Don't do this.

Carlos!

Help.

Help. Help.

Help.

Sleepy, huh?

Well, don't forget, I stayed up all night

with these baskets too.

You can get all the sleep you want

after the measles epidemic.

Come on. Padre Simeon is waiting for us.

Lancers. Fall in.

Fall in at attention, men. Shoulders back, stomachs in.

Dress right. Dress.

Look at that line. Straighten it up.

Mugo, pay attention. Right shoulder.

In place. March.

Corporal Reyes. You are out of step.

Corporal, keep counting until I return.

Buenos días, Don Diego. Little one.

Buenos días, sergeant.

What are you doing up so early, Don Diego?

Well, I think the most intriguing question is,

what are you doing?

I am drilling my lancers. Tomorrow is Military Forces Day.

Well, I've seen soldiers put to their paces before,

but, uh, never through a knothole.

By all means, sergeant, carry on.

Oh, Don Diego.

Are you delivering more baskets of food?

Sí.

Well, would you please save one for Padre Simeon?

He has the measles.

The padre? Sí.

I saw the sign on his door this morning.

It is too bad, and he just got back.

If you'll excuse me, sergeant,

I'll see if there's anything I can do for him.

Of course, Don Diego.

Corporal Reyes. You are out of step again.

He must be asleep. We won't disturb him.

Now, wait a minute.

The padre just returned yesterday.

He couldn't have caught the measles in so short a time.

And even if he had the measles, he could still hear and speak.

There's something wrong here, Bernardo.

I see it.

Strange, Bernardo.

There's no one here.

Let's go out and see if we can find someone

who saw the padre leave. Help.

Help.

Help.

Padre.

Padre.

Who did this to you?

Carlos.

He took the chalice.

How long has he been gone?

I cannot believe it about Carlos.

He was doing so well. I must have failed him somehow.

Padre, you never failed anyone.

And I failed my people too

because I lost the chalice. Gracias.

Well, you'll get the chalice back.

Do you think so, Diego?

Do you think Carlos will realize what he's done and return it?

I think his conscience will make him realize

he's made a mistake.

A man's conscience will often assume many shapes and forms.

That is true, that is true, that is true.

It is indeed a beautiful thing, señor.

But it does not belong to you.

Zorro.

I did not come here to fight with you, my friend.

But to talk.

And talk we will.

About the chalice and Padre Simeon.

And the faith he has in you.

No more, Señor Zorro.

The padre thinks you have made a mistake.

You have, haven't you?

Sí, señor.

Good.

Now, listen to me, my friend.

Padre Simeon has a great deal of faith in you.

If you ever disappoint him again,

if you ever steal again...

I will not steal, señor.

Then I think you have the right to return this.

You mean I am free?

Oh, no, señor.

You will never be free.

You will always have two consciences.

Yours, and me.

Señor Zorro.

Sí.

Gracias.

Buenos días, sergeant.

Buenos días, Don Diego. Little one.

Well, happy Military Forces Day.

Gracias, Don Diego.

It's too bad that so many of your lancers have the measles.

I was looking forward to the parade this year.

Oh, there will be a parade nevertheless, Don Diego.

It is a tradition. And now, if you will excuse me.

Of course.

Padre.

Diego. Good morning, padre.

Carlos returned with the chalice.

Well, that's wonderful.

So his conscience did bother him, eh?

We had a long talk about it.

He knows now that someone watches everything he does.

Oh, he's a changed man, all right.

Company. Attention.

What in the world?

Well, unless I'm mistaken, padre,

that is the annual Military Forces Observance Day parade.

Right shoulder. Arm.

Forward.

Arm.

On the right. March.

Eyes. Left.

Next week:

An attempt on the life of his Excellency,

the governor of California.

An unscrupulous captain yields to temptation.

If the real governor should die,

would you not then go right on being governor?

Well, I don't know. I...

I suppose maybe I would.

Next week:

An invitation to death

is your invitation to never-ending thrills

with Zorro.
