All language subtitles for Zorro s01e03 Water

When daggers are pointed at innocent
hearts And muskets are ready to fire

When tyrants ride high and govern with
fear As the forces of evil

confire And from out of the night, a
hero must rise. The courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man called Zorro.

Zorro! The one who's larger than life
and defender of all. He's this man who

people acclaim.

He's the one who strikes back for the
poor and oppressed.

A hero.

Who's next?

If not for the fountain in the plaza,
we'd be in a sorry state.

No one knows where the plaza water comes
from.

Never dried up in living memory.

The Indians say it was a gift from the
gods.

People must wonder why any sane person
would ever settle in Los Angeles.

Yes, I know. I'm 32, Felipe.

We'll have to wait our turn like
everyone else.

Don Diego, you've come for water, too.

Yes. Our well ran dry this morning.

It almost makes me wish that I lived in
San Francisco.

San Francisco does indeed have two
things we sorely lack.

An abundance of water and cooler
weather.

Three things.

They also have a good nature, I'll tell
you.

Yes.

Unfortunately, our Alcalde is unique.

Senor Alcalde, if your men want water,
they should wait in line like the rest

us.

My men are not here to refresh
themselves, senorita.

In a desert country like this, water is
liquid gold.

Yet some of you have been using this
precious asset extravagantly.

I hereby decree a state of emergency for
the duration of this drought.

One bucket of water per person per week.

That is ridiculous.

Now, you know that's inadequate. What
about the farmers?

Fortunately, your occult day has come up
with a solution to their problem.

You may buy water in excess of the
regulations at a rate of two pesos per

bucket, ten pesos per barrel.

Pay for the water?

Why should we?

The alternatives are simple, my dear.

You pay or you die.

This fountain has never gone dry.

There is enough water for everyone.

Alcalde!

If you persist in this, you may have an
uprising on your hands.

And who will be their leader?

You, Don Diego?

Of course not.

I'm simply warning you that you may have
gone too far this time.

Your warning is duly noted.

Arrest him.

Arrest? Don de la Vega?

Why?

If he's not on his way to the jail in
five seconds, you will be joining him,

Mendoza. Yes, Alcalde.

Sorry, Don Diego.

It's quite all right, Sergeant.

Lead the way.

Felipe.

You must run and tell Don Alejandro what
has happened.

Do you understand me?

Go.

If there is any consolation, Don Diego,
please, you can find yourself.

Yes, I can see that, Sergeant.

Just when Zorro is needed most.

Stop it!

Stop it!

Stop it! This is mutiny!

And now that perhaps we should leave,
leave, I'll hang you in front of us!

Ah.

The loyal father comes to plead for his
treacherous son.

My son can take care of himself.

These poor people.

You grind their faces in the ground, and
now you take their water away from

them. I take nothing away from them. How
do you expect them to pay this tariff?

They're already penniless from your
taxes.

If they want the water, they'll find a
way.

Governor will hear about this from my
own lips. We'll all testify to the

How dare you?

Put me in jail with my son.

Put us all in jail.

Lancers!

Back to the gas.

I'm happy to report our little
revolution is over. What happened?

I can't explain how the deal has got
this on its way, so please leave.

Calde will not easily forgive resistance
to his plans.

I'm afraid there's work in store for
Zorro.

You made me look like a fool.

Oh, no, sir.

It is not foolish to back down in the
face of overwhelming odds.

Oh, yes.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Back
down.

Me. Me, whose ancestors came to this
continent with Balboa and Cortez. But I

will make them pay for it. Here.

A new tax cannot be levied, then I will
make sure that the old taxes are

collected. I want you to confiscate all
the property of those people whose taxes

are in arrears. With all due respect,
sir, do you think this is the moment

Do you dare to defy me?

Oh, no, sir, no, no.

Believe me, amigos, this hurts me much
more than it will ever hurt you.

But if you don't pay your taxes, the
alcalde gets, well, nasty.

Oh, what a cute little pig.

He is just a tiny little squealer now.

But someday he will grow up to be a
great big Zorro.

Zorro?

Now this puzzles me.

If I steal a pig from these poor
farmers, we already have the Alcalde,

biggest pig in California.

Seize him!

Seize me?

Seize my bomb.

Hey, bomb!

He's got a bomb!

Adios, Sergeant.

I knew you were just kidding.

And now, Sorrow.

Water! Water!

for your drink of water.

Thank you, Victoria.

You know, Don Alejandro, if it hadn't
been for you and Don Diego, Miss Pueblo

would have been in serious trouble.

I just hope it doesn't end up with more
than words.

Well, I think that is best left to
Zorro.

And perhaps we are going to think twice
about any new taxes for a while.

What a coincidence.

This puddle would become a good turn
without water.

That fountain has never dried up before.

Good people of Los Angeles.

The fountain has run dry just when you
need it the most.

However, as your alcalde, I am here to
help you.

I have a plentiful supply of water on my
land.

And during this emergency, I will gladly
share it with you.

For free!

You all know the road to my estate?

Come, my citizens, come and get your
watch.

This land is bone dry nine months of the
year.

Excuse me, Victoria.

The only thing the Alcalde ever gave
away for nothing was his lash.

Sergeant!

What's going on here?

Buenos dias, Don Diego.

Welcome to the newly built Ramon State
Highway.

This is a state highway.

Well, of course, you know there will be
improvements, but that will take time

and money.

Oh, I see.

The water is free.

There is a toll to cross the Alcalde's
land.

Two pesos.

With the return trip, it's free.

Well, we have no choice.

This is the Alcalde's land, and we do
need his water. Thank you, Sergeant.

This water is from the plaza fountain.
It contains traces of the mineral

dolomite and causes this chemical
reaction.

Right.

Now we test the Alcalde's water.

Just as I thought.

The Alcalde's water is from the same
source as the water in the plaza.

And that source would have to be north
of the Pueblo.

Here in the foothills so that gravity
would feed the water into the plaza.

there where the Alcalde is giving away
his water and right where Zorro threw

Sergeant Mendoza off his horse
yesterday.

No wonder Mendoza was looking so guilty
today. He discovered the source of the

plaza water and now the Alcalde has
interrupted the natural flow.

Why not?

Unfortunately, you are going to have to
stay here all night.

Felipe, are you ready for our little
diversion?

I am going home to some burritos and my
warm bed.

You get my horse.

Joaquin, the barril, please.

I have been on patrol all night.

The other day I was...

Why don't you come out and fight like
men?

Yes,

Sergeant. An army of one.

How could you withhold water from the
people, Mendoza? It wasn't me.

I'm ashamed of you.

It wasn't me, Sorrow. I just told the
alcalde about the hidden spring.

The rest was his idea.

Stop now, sir. I don't feel too good.
We're feeling the heat, are we?

Well, perhaps a little ventilation will
help.

Oh, no.

I'm running out of tunics. We're also
running out of time.

Laura, did you do that?

What are you people doing over there?

The only water in the territory is on
my... hand.

It's a miracle.

A miracle by the name of Zorro.

We had them in our grasp, and as usual,
you bungled it. Sir, Zorro outsmarted us

again.

But then the people should not have to
pay for the water. Maybe you would like

to stand guard all day in the middle of
the courtyard in full uniform.

Sir, it is very hot out there.

Really?

That'll give you something to think
about the next time you want to question

orders.

Sergeant, I heard about your punishment.

Have some water.

God bless you, my dear.

Mendoza!

Put that water down. So, Don Diego, now
you're interfering with the running of

my garrison.

Not at all, Alcalde.

Sergeant, don't worry. In a moment,
you'll have all the relief you need.

I gave orders that there will be no
relief for Mendoza.

Even your orders may be countermanded by
a higher authority.

There is no higher authority.

I am the Alcalde. I am the supreme
authority.

Almost, Alcalde, but not quite that
supreme.
