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, a hero must rise.

half kilo.

That is a head of lettuce, not a melon soldier.

Are you questioning the accuracy of my scale?

Of course not.

You are our alcalde, our leader, our benefactor.

And we all know that you always have our best interests at heart.

Very true.

And we also know that Sergeant Mendoza's mule could tell that your scales are

rigged.

Be careful, Sergeant.

Where are my lances when I need them? I told you he would come.

Zorro, please.

You are under arrest for... For what?

Treason, sedition, conspiracy, thievery, assault with deadly weapons, attacking

government troops, and riding with reckless endangerment.

And what of your own guilt, Alcalde?

Observe.

A liter of water weighs 283 grams.

On the Alcalde scales, it weighs nearly twice as much.

Shocking. Mendoza repaired the scale at once.

Thank you, Zorro. Again, you've helped our people win justice.

And it helped me guarantee his captaincy.

You see, this time Zorro, I have found the man who will hunt you to the ground.

They say he can track the wind across the open desert.

Yes, I believe he could follow Zorro's tracks here from town.

If there were tracks to follow.

This man, Zorro, eludes you because his horse is like no other I've ever seen.

A long...

Even gait.

Seventeen hands tall.

An amazing creature.

Lead us to Zorro.

And after we hang him, the horse is yours.

What?

Stop those sheep! Francis, keep those sheep away from Zorro's tracks!

Get these sheep out of here!

Stop those sheep!

Don Diego.

My profound apologies, Alcalde. My horse startled Don Pizarro's sheep back down

the road.

You idiot!

You destroyed Zorro's tracks.

I missed Zorro again.

Don't worry.

The next time you see him, you'll be hanging at the end of a rope.

So you're actually going to capture him then? If it's the last thing I do.

Do not be upset, Alcalde.

The sheep have not destroyed anything of importance.

The tracks!

There will be more.

You can't underestimate this man, Felipe.

His weight might make him think he's on the trail of a grown man.

But you need to ride quickly.

I would like to join the search party and help you capture Zorro.

Sergeant, prepare to move out.

It's my civic duty.

Besides, I can be of help to you.

If you want to be of help, stay out of the way. Well, if Zorro's tracks happen

to cross my father's land... I hardly need permission.

Of course not. But since the recent floods, we've discovered quicksand in

unexpected places.

Quicksand? Yes, we've lost several cattle.

You mean whole cows have been swallowed up?

So far, the ranch hands have managed to avoid it.

Alcalde, it wouldn't hurt for someone who knows the terrain to come along with

us.

Very well.

Let's move.

He is a clever man.

What do you mean?

The tracks change here.

From this point on, they are made by the same horse, carrying the same weight.

But the rider is different.

Not as strong.

Zorro has an accomplice.

Well, we have enough rope to hang the two of them, and his tracks will lead us

right to Zorro.

Yes.

And this second rider moves much more slowly.

What is it now?

We can't cross here. Quick, sir.

We haven't got time for this.

We're in a hurry. Yes.

But only a fool rushes to his own death.

A simple test.

We'll cross further on downstream.

You're very observant.

Out here, one has to be, don't you think?

The one who helps Zorro is a young man.

How can you tell that?

He ate many berries.

An older man would be more careful of his stomach.

Brilliant.

The man is brilliant.

Oh, it won't be long now.

The horse went that way.

His rider went in there.

Finally, Zorro's hiding place.

Alcalde, this mine shaft is extremely dangerous.

Oh, don't you see, Don Diego?

Zorro's accomplices finally led us to him.

But after the cave -in, which killed several miners, my father ordered this

shaft closed.

Obviously, Zorro doesn't care for your father's orders. Mendoza!

Prepare to enter.

Calve, it looks dangerous.

It is, Sergeant.

The slightest vibration.

I certainly couldn't withstand the presence of all your men.

Perhaps not.

I'll wait outside.

Mendoza, take the men and bring him to me.

It'll be safer if only one man goes.

Since it's my father's mind, I will be that man.

Zorro will kill him.

Sergeant, do your duty. Bring me Zorro.

For Alcalde.

Now, Sergeant.

See Alcalde.

I can't see.

Where is Odile?

For him, there is no hope.

I know this mine has a ventilating shaft.

It has to be blocked.

We'll find it before our air runs out. Come on.

There is very little air.

We must hurry.

The others are still trapped.

No,

you must stay here. You cannot be seen with her.

Give me my other clothes. If all goes well, I'll soon need to appear as Don

Diego.

Gracias.

To success.

It's Zorro.

Zorro.

Zorro!

We are here!

I have gunpowder.

Stand back and I will try to blow a hole in the entrance.

As long as I pray.

How can you trust him?

Because he is Zorro.

The alcalde might hate him, but even he knows he is no murderer.

Gracias!

This man, Zorro, he saved our lives. Yes.

But how did he escape the mine?

Maybe he was never in there.

He is an unpredictable man.

If only he could have done something to save Don Diego.

Go home, Toronado.

He was the first one in, and the only one who never came out.

Don Diego.

You're alive.

Yes.

My air was gone and suddenly everything opened up. It was a miracle.

A miracle?

Yes, a miracle.

Quickly, get a horse.

Zorro couldn't have gone far.

Why do you chase the man who saved the lives of your men?

Don't be fooled by him. He'll slit their throats.

I don't believe that he would.

He could certainly cut a Z in our uniforms.

Where are you going? I paid you money!

Come back here!

Don't you walk away from me! I want Zorro!

Sun powder worked perfectly.

Greyway.

I was on my way out of town, and I came across a familiar trail.

Zorro's. Zorro's around here?

Yes.

Very close.

You should lock the door for me, babe.

Is that a rash on your neck?

He doesn't speak.

But he does eat berries.

And too many of them will cause such a rash.

So my father and I keep telling him.

As you can see, he's nearly eaten the entire bush clean.

Should Zorro ever cross your path, tell him I owe him my life.

That's highly unlikely, Greywing.

But if that should ever happen, I would be happy to give him your message.
