All language subtitles for Zorro s01e06 The Sure Thing

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

conspire. Then from out of the night, my
hero must rise with courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man called the...

And defender of all is this man who the
people acclaim.

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

A hero.

I brought you some fresh beans.

Ah.

Oh, beautiful.

I'll buy them all.

Oh, no, they're not for sale.

These are a gift in return for your
patience.

At the very least, I should have repaid
the interest. Oh, the alcalde's taxes

are outrageous enough without one friend
charging another interest.

Yes.

Hola, Don Diego.

I was just about to tell your father it
won't be long until I repay my loan.

And I was telling him not to bother.

Because I have something that is going
to make me enough money to repay all my

debts tenfold.

Tenfold?

That would be a lot of beans.

Oh, not beans, amigos.

Zeus.

He's beautiful, no?

What's he doing here?

Two years ago, my corn had failed, and I
was helping Don Esteban with a fallen

mare. Don Esteban's foals fetch quite a
price. We'll see when they are healthy.

His birth was difficult.

The foreleg was broken.

Don Esteban handed me his pistol and
returned to the Hacienda.

I knew what I was expected to do.

With such a beautiful creature, I
couldn't.

You've kept him all this time?

Si.

I worked with the leg.

Hurst him back to health.

When he could stand, I taught him to
walk.

When he could walk, I taught him to run.

So why have we never seen him before?

Well, we train at night.

He is my secret.

Zeus is going to make me a rich man.

How much do you want for him?

Oh, he's not for sale.

But I hear there's a caballero in the
pueblo from Monterrey looking for

to challenge his horse to a race.

I'm betting everything I have on Zeus.

This caballero from Monterrey.

His name wouldn't happen to be Senor
Herrera by any chance.

Why, yes, that is his name.

You've heard of him?

I'm afraid we have.

Carefully. Carefully now.

Sergeant,

you're not well?

Oh, I had a terrible accident, Don
Diego.

I was driving the military supply wagon
and the horse took the bit in his teeth

and drove straight into the post.

The strength of an uncontrolled horse is
most impressive.

I hate horses.

They are so big and they have such a
little brain.

They're a very dangerous animal.

The air is too dry in this part of the
territory to properly breed a decent

mouse. Some people might disagree with
us.

Senorita, please.

Nothing can compare to my Arabian.

You're entitled to your opinion, of
course.

Well, if it isn't the de la Vegas.

Do I sense a challenge here?

Oh, what would be the point?

Our horses are the finest in the
territory. My son is an excellent rider.

Father, please.

Prove it.

Good riding, son.

Thank you, Father, but... Nicely done,
Diego.

Abdullah's a little tired from our
journey.

Is that why you pulled him up short?

I didn't know such thing.

Maybe you'd like to back your insult up
with a serious wager, huh?

I'm not a gambling man, Daniel Herrera.

Besides, I think Abdullah's had enough,
wouldn't you say?

Let's have a serious race, Don Diego,
huh? At a greater distance.

A real test of horse and rider.

Thank you for the offer, but gambling is
for the foolish.

Is there not a sporting man amongst you?

Are there no challengers to my noble
steed?

Si, senor.

I will make that challenge.

Why was I elected to do this?

Because you are who you are.

4 ,000 pesos from the farmer.

4 ,000?

Yes, it's every centavo I could lay my
hands on. If Don Diego can beat Senor

Herrera, the farmer's horse is a sure
thing.

What's going on? To

the

Victor brother spoiled

I can't believe I lost a month's wages
on that boy's horse.

Horses. Nothing but trouble.

Are you all right, machines?

He lost.

He just didn't respond.

I don't know what happened.

Now that you have no hope of paying your
back taxes, I hereby confiscate your

farm and all your personal property,
including this miserable horse.

You listen to me. I have lost 4 ,000
pesos.

Someone has got to pay.

I want to be Zeus.

Pretty hard to do now that he's in the
Alcalde table.

Come on.

I think I know someone who can help us.

If God finds us here, I'll be saluting
corpus.

Zeus!

What happened?

Something he's eaten.

Or something that's been given to him.

Go call the Garrison blacksmith.

It

was

just something he ate.

The blacksmith gave him some herb to
calm his stomach.

He's going to be fine.

Oh, gracias a Dios.

Do you really think Senora Herrera would
poison my horse?

I don't know what to think.

If only you had a sense to better my
horse instead, huh?

Well... Live and learn, eh?

You don't have the fastest horse in
California, you know.

Really?

Then who does, Senorita?

Zorro. Ah, yes.

the legendary Fox of the Night.

We have heard of him in Monterey, too.

He also has an incredible horse named
Doronado.

Nearly as smart as a man.

Ah, and smarter than him.

And where is he?

This legend and his wonder horse.

Zorro is a terribly unpredictable
character.

See, this is true.

He has a price on his head, and he only
comes out with good reason.

Then let's give him a reason.

Another race.

If I lose, I return all that money.

And if you win?

Then I shall own this incredible horse
of Zorro's.

If Zorro ignores my challenge, then
perhaps Toronado is not so special after

all, and Zorro is not such a hero.

That's not true at all.

Put the word out. I hereby challenge
Zorro to a match race tomorrow at noon.

Blimey, drinks are everywhere.

Do you think Zorro would accept such a
challenge?

Why should he? Because we lost our money
unfairly.

Marcia's horse was drugged.

That's right.

Is that true?

There is no proof.

The money the Alcante lost.

was from the governor's tax fund.

He would do anything to get it back.

Are you all right, Don Diego?

I'm not sure.

I have been feeling well lately.

I think I'm getting a cold. I need some
rest.

Touche. Sorrow.

Do you really want to do that?

I'll have you shot for this.

Then how will you get the governor's 4
,000 pesos back?

I have a proposition for you.

Lift the bounty from my head, and I'll
meet Don Herrera in the plaza tomorrow.

It's your only chance.

Agreed.

But after the race is over... We return
to our game of cat and mouse.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

You really think this is going to work,
Alcalde? Of course it'll work.

After the race, Zorro will be mine.

Fire!

Stack them higher.

Then Diego didn't come with you?

No, he has a terrible cold, poor boy.

He picked a fine time to get sick.

Zorro!

The so -called man of courage.

With the horse, I've heard so much
about.

Obviously, that's no interest in winning
your money back.

So...

Senorito, if you beat the guy, my
challenge still stands, senor. My

against your hope.

I'll try.

I'll do your mark!

Ready?

Once a cheat, always a cheat.

This money is taken from you under false
pretenses.

Alcalde, I know you'll be relieved to
return us.

I was hoping we'd have more time.

And so was I.

No horse can clear that, Zorro.

Dismount or die.

Mendoza. Sir?

I want Zorro.

Obviously, they're in league with each
other. It was all a trick. Now, you get

your horse, and you get after him. But,
mi alcalde, you know how I feel about

horses ever since.

Si, mi alcalde, a horse, right away.

Just hold him steady.

Easy now, easy now. Hold him.

Stupid horse.

He did that on purpose.

It's all here. We did it.

Of course I did it. And look what I've
won, huh?

Keep careful, Sergeant.

This horse could be an angel.

Sergeant, please.

I am an expert horseman.

Don Diego?

How are you feeling?

Much better.

Well, you look much better.

Matias paid his taxes.

He can keep his farm now.

Finally, a bit of justice.

We should celebrate.

There's something else to celebrate.

That life of hiding you've been waiting
for?

Just arrived.

Wonderful.

Oh, I don't feel very well.

I feel terrible.

Maybe we should celebrate later.
