When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts and rockets are ready to fire

Where tyrants ride high and govern with fear, and the forces of evil conspire.

And from out of the night, a hero must rise with courage that even a mask won't

disguise. They turn to the man called Zorro.

Zorro! The one who's larger than life and the friend of all.

He's this man who the people acclaim.

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

A hero whose name is Doro.

His name is Doro.

Gentlemen,

cards don't lie.

Lovely evening, isn't it?

Not particularly. It's too hot.

How's your game going?

Terrible.

Well, the only man who wins at poker is the one who doesn't play.

I don't like being cheated.

You have a big mouth, my friend.

What is the problem, senores?

No man calls me a cheat and lives.

This is a peace -loving pueblo. You will act like gentlemen while you are here,

or you will go to jail for determining peace.

Of course.

I forgot my manners. I've grown unused to such genteel surroundings.

That's more like it, senor. No hard feelings, friend.

I'll give you a week to pay this note.

Thanks, gentlemen.

Shouldn't you be on your way home, Don Carlos?

You're a dead man.

Haven't you caused enough trouble?

Get out of here.

No man calls me a cheat.

Then suppose we just call you foolishly bad -tempered.

Go home, senor.

And the next time, don't play cards with strangers.

A man who returns verbal insults with a bullet was a most unwelcome addition to

Los Angeles.

Temper your anger, for the next time I will not be so forgiving.

You should see that Don Carlos makes his way home safely.

Bishop. Victoria, why?

You are safe, and that's all that matters.

Señorita!

Zorro!

Go.

Please, you must save yourself.

Amigos, get her to a doctor at once.

Don Alejandro, Senorita Escalante has been shot.

What? It is very bad.

Where is she?

At the taverna. Dr. Hernandez is with her.

Thank you for coming out and telling me. Diego!

Diego!

Felipe, where is Diego?

Oh, he's still at the tavern.

Get my horse ready.

Victoria Escalante, she's been shot.

The bullet's out.

But she's going to live. It's far too early to tell.

She'll stay with us.

There will be no charges filed.

What are you talking about?

This bishop, he shot an innocent and defenseless woman.

He shot at Zorro.

Unfortunately, the poor girl got in the way. Besides, I understand the bullet

has been removed.

Yes, that's right. She happens to be lying unconscious at our hacienda. Are

aware that she might die at any moment, sir? Those who befriend and assist an

outlaw like Zorro do so at their own peril.

I say the man should stand trial, all right? I say he should be commended.

So more citizens like him, there'd be less trouble in this pueblo.

No, there's been nothing but trouble since that gambler arrived here, and you

know it.

I hardly call an assassination attempt on Zorro trouble.

Besides, I understand he may rid us of your friend Don Carlos.

And what is that supposed to mean?

You haven't heard?

What? It seems your friend Don Carlos repeated some slanderous accusation

cheating.

There's to be a duel at sunrise.

That's a lie.

My friend, Don Carlos, he'd never do that.

When a man loses at cards, he brings out his true color.

lies here dying.

If you die, Victoria, Zorro will die with you.

Carlos, I have a plan, man. I'll stall for time until Zorro gets here. Zorro?

Why should he appear? This is my fight, not his.

You lose, senor.

I have

been foolish.

Be quiet.

Say nothing.

Do not let him take my land.

My servants, the farmers, they are family to me.

It should be theirs.

Promise me, Alejandro.

Promise me.

I promise, Carlos.

Carlos?

Adios, amigo.

Don't call us his woman, his grave, and already you lay claim to his land.

I won it fairly, huh?

I heard otherwise.

What do you mean by that? You are guilty of gambling and in general disturbing

the peace.

However, I will validate this IOU provided you pay all the transfer taxes

amount to one half the estate.

Half?

You're a very generous fellow, Alcalde.

Didn't you want to say something else?

Yes.

Thank you.

The pleasure is mine.

What brings you to town?

You still dare to show your face in this town?

But Los Angeles is my new home.

Why, you and your son must come and visit me at my new hacienda.

You mock my friend.

And I'm sure you'll want to join him as soon as possible.

Diego? Diego?

How long

have I been here?

Over a week.

And Zorro?

He escaped.

We brought you here.

He's not been seen since.

What?

But why?

When the bullet struck you instead of him, he knew he could no longer endanger

innocent people.

One bullet is a small price to pay for Zorro.

I would gladly take that bullet again that was meant for him.

Not only because of my feelings towards him, but for the poor

and the weak.

Whom do they have but Zorro?

You must find him, Eo.

Zorro is only a part of our past now.

What?

My brother's pistols are missing.

Bishop.

He's gone to fight Bishop.

Chilidoro would not desert Don Alejandro.

No.

I don't think he would.

Don Alejandro, you must stand aside.

This has been my fight from the start, and I've waited far too long to finish

it.

Toronado doesn't really care for guns.

I'm going to cut your heart out.

Senor, my heart belongs to a certain young lady.

I'll make sure she gets it.

You're quick, I'll give you that.

I suggest you put the knife away, Samuel.

Why don't you make me?

I'm afraid it won't be much of a contest.

I'm not so slow myself.

Huh?

Speed is one thing.

Balance is another.

This is truly primitive.

If you insist.

It's Zorro.

Yes, sir. He looks very angry.

That is for John Carlos.

That is for Victoria.

This is for me.

Soon he will be very dead.

You fool!

You had a what in your arm? I don't enjoy killing anyone.

But in your case, I just might make an exception.

Wait! The Alcalde made me.

He demanded half my share of Don Carlos' estate.

Don Alejandro, your pistol.

The man is a complete liar and a cheat. We all know that.

There were no papers made up.

He is entitled to no one's estate.

And where there is no will, a man's final words must be followed.

Don Carlos wants his money and land given to his farmhands and servants.

An excellent idea.

I hereby appoint Don Alejandro to carry this out.

The day I see you in or near the Los Angeles Pueblo again, that day will

be your last.

But Alcalde...

It was a very big wasp.

And you're Zorro.

You look lovelier than ever.

Thank you.

I'm feeling much better.

I've been thinking.

You should have a husband.

Someone like Diego, perhaps.

Like Diego?

I thought... I thought we shared certain feelings.

We do.

More than you'll ever know.

Diego?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Diego?

Ah, Victoria, good evening.

Have you seen Diego?

No, I haven't. I guess he's gone to bed.

Well, Victoria, are you all right?

Yes.

Your face seems so flushed.

Oh, well, I am feeling a bit warm.

Well, I think you should get some rest tonight.

Good night, my dear.

Good night.

Can you do it all?
