When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts and muskets are ready to fire.

Where tyrants ride high and govern with fear as the forces of evil

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

even a mask won't disguise. They turn to... The man comes to...

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.

know who's getting more exercise, my horse or me.

Military payroll.

Surprised they ride so fast when they get paid so little.

Anyway, my horse must be thankful he doesn't have to ride like that anymore.

Let's get him.

I've removed the bullet, but there's much infection.

What are his chances of coming out of this coma?

He may never come out of it.

You're saying he could die?

I'm sorry. I've done all I can.

Why would Don Alejandro risk his life for the Alcalde's payroll?

He wasn't helping the Alcalde.

Who's helping a man in trouble.

I will stay with him.

No, thank you.

He's my father.

Zara's place is with his father.

Neil?

The Alcalde is waiting in the library.

He wishes to have a word with you.

Thank you.

It's beyond me why the peasants are always up in arms over the land when

so much of it. Enough for us all.

You're truly a man of great vision, Alcalde.

But you did not come here to discuss your views on land reform.

I came as a friend to show my concern and appreciation to your father for his

efforts on behalf of the government.

My father is very ill.

He's not receiving visitors today.

Even a concerned friend such as yourself.

Yes, yes. Dr.

Hernandez told me that your father is in a coma.

Perhaps you could pass along my appreciation in hopes of a speedy

And tell him that I will not rest till I have taken the thief Zorro.

Zorro?

Who else could overcome my men so easily?

Forgive me, but Zorro is not known as a thief.

Perhaps not.

The townspeople are beginning to wonder if perhaps he has changed deeds with

greed.

I must go.

I will pray for your father.

There was no sign of the gold or the supplies, me alcalde. You think they

kill two men and then leave the goods behind?

There is no evidence Zorro had anything to do with this. Of course he had. You

just didn't look hard enough. We did not even find his mark.

His mark?

Yes, the Z.

He never shoots us or hurts us.

He just humiliates us by leaving his signature behind.

Hurts the area.

We did three times.

Obviously, this is not the work of Zorro.

I said search the area.

At the cantina they are serving the most aromatic arroz con pollo I

have ever seen in my life. Out!

How sad. The only living witness, Don Leandro.

You know, the living law.

The post.

The cattle.

Open the gate.

The cattle in the north section are fine, Father.

They should bring a good price to the market.

Don Diego, you know he can't hear you.

He's delirious with fever.

There's a chance that he might.

Would you eat something?

No.

You need some sleep.

It is important that you stay strong.

Sleep I can have any time.

He has a good son in you, Don Diego.

You're a good friend.

Thank you for staying to help.

A good son.

A good son would not keep things from his father.

There would be nothing between them.

I have kept something from you.

I am not the man you think I am.

I have a secret life.

The time has come for me to share it with you.

Keep this from you.

But as Zorro, I have not always obeyed the written law.

That is why I could never tell you.

It would endanger you as well.

I know that what I have done is right.

Deeds you would have been proud of.

Things you might have done yourself when you were younger.

What is important now is that you stay with me.

As Don Diego, I've not always made you proud.

I am Zorro.

But I still need you.

I still need a father.

Doctor. He drifts in and out of the coma.

His condition is very unstable.

Unstable? But surely something... Is there nothing that can be done?

I did have one hope, but that was stolen with the shipment of gold.

What do you mean?

An ingredient necessary to make a potion, magwai sap, was in the same

as the government payroll.

And if you had the magwai sap, would the potion cure him?

It would give him a chance.

Don Diego, get some rest.

There's nothing you can do now.

I will stay here as long as I can to keep an eye on your father.

Perhaps you're right.

Adido's first mistake was shooting my father. The second was stealing his

My father's horse had a sore hoof.

It required a very special shoe.

I want you to go to the blacksmiths in the Pueblo.

Give him this note.

You don't understand?

The trail's so easy, even Sergeant Mendoza could follow it.

I say we go now.

Please, Rodrigo. Surely we are out of danger now.

They will be looking for the gold.

We stay here until I say we move. And I say we have listened to you long enough.

Please, Rodrigo. We are out of danger because of...

is not true.

There is no honor among thieves.

I think he likes you.

Thank you, George. I really do believe in self

-control.

Anger can be so self -destructive.

An innocent old man lies near death.

You did that.

It just might make me feel a lot better to kill you in return.

I believe this belongs to you.

Yes, it belongs to me. But how did you know I...

The gold is all here.

And there is a note.

Justice has no prize.

Thorough.

Hurry before I'm missed.

They'd still be sleeping.

Why are they so curious?

Don Diego?

Don Diego?

Where's my bedroom?

You've been resting for quite some time now.

Apparently I was more tired than I thought.

My father?

He's asking for you.

I'll be just a minute.

Of course.

Here you go.

Look at me.

There it is, the middle of the afternoon.

I'm still in bed.

I feel like you, my son.

Is he going to be all right?

He's going to be just fine.

you should really go back to bed.

I don't want to go back to bed.

Dr. Hernandez said you shouldn't rush your recovery.

I have to rush my recovery.

I certainly can't count on you to run my affairs.

Perhaps someday I'll learn.

I live in hope.

You know, I had the most amazing dream while I was lying in there.

Might have been a hallucination.

Someone, I can't remember who, but someone said that you, my

son Diego, were Zorro.

Now, imagine that.

You were Zorro.

Imagine that.

Of course, having Zorro for a son wouldn't be bad.

I love the son I have.
