Original subtitles

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 with courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man.

Thank you.

I wonder who could be writing me from San Pedro, Diego.

Bernardo de la Paz.

He's about to sentence a murderer by the name of Miguelito Torres to the

gallows. I've heard of him. His brother is Vicente Torres.

The brother is threatening to retaliate against Bernardo's family if any

sentence is imposed.

Surely that won't stop the judge from seeing that justice is done. No, of

not. But he still is sending his children off to different locations for

safety. And he wants us to look after his son, Carlos, for a few days.

Excellent.

Felipe could use a companion.

Diego, why are you putting a beard on Felipe?

Padre's asked me to stage an Easter pageant next Sunday.

I have to turn teenagers into bearded men.

Well, apparently his 17 -year -old son is also eager to be a man.

He's arriving at 10.

We should get to the plaza.

Forgive me. I must wait until my formula sets.

No matter.

I'll go along.

If this young man's coach is arriving in the plaza at 10, it's my guess that

they're already approaching the Coinga Pass.

If Torres wanted to abduct him, that would be the perfect spot.

I think Zorro would better provide an escort.

Come on.

A young house guest.

Should be fun for you, ain't we?

Senor, I was about to knock the scoundrel off his horse.

Were you now?

Yes, I was.

Who are you, anyway?

My name is Zorro.

Really?

Then there is such a man.

At your service.

Well, Carlos Bautista Alvarado de la Paz does not need a mass stranger to get

him out of trouble, Senor Zorro.

Then try to avoid trouble, Carlos de la Paz.

What? You encountered Zorro?

Yes. You know him?

Honest people shudder at his name, young man.

Ocalde, may I introduce my special house guest?

Carlos de la Paz.

Consider yourself lucky you are not Zorro's prisoner right now. He is not

taking helpless youngsters for ransom. Helpless?

If he comes near me again, I'll box his ears. I'm not scared.

Carlitos, when will we go to the hacienda? I'm sure that after all of

combat... You must have a hearty appetite.

Please.

Alejandro. Here is the special flan de chur. Oh, Victoria.

One of Diego's favorites. Thank you.

Oh, and who is this?

Oh, may I introduce Carlos de la Paz.

Carlos, this is la señorita Victoria Escalante.

Hello.

My honor, Senorita Escalante.

Well, I'm sure both Diego and I will enjoy this very much.

Buenas tardes. Buenas tardes. Vamanos.

There's a young man at the house named Felipe.

Carlos?

Felizos.

Remarkably attractive woman, eh, Carlos?

Carlos?

Yes,

senor. Very.

Felipe, this is Carlos de la Paz.

How'd you do?

Felipe will show you around the ranch.

The cat got his tongue?

He can't speak or hear.

He does communicate in other ways, though.

And he can read your lips.

You don't say.

You can't read my lips now, can you?

I give him time.

He's with my strangers.

You give him time.

I'd like to turn him over my knee.

I don't remember you being so much trouble as a teenager, dear.

Well, I certainly didn't have his energy.

Yesterday, he climbed to the top of the roof with my new spyglass and dropped it

down the chimney.

What in the world possessed him to go and explore the swamp and then he

mud all over my Kurdistan carpets? No, thank Kevin.

Bernardo is collecting a cent.

The theatrical's at the university and you took off the mustache.

The glue took off some of your face as well.

Yeah, how's that?

So after a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with a formula that is

kinder to the face.

You're all right.

And now, gentlemen, I have an errand in the Pueblo.

While I'm gone, please feel free to dry your hand.

Really? Thank you, Don Diego.

In the name of my lady, Senorita Victoria Escalante.

I am Lieutenant Federico Rincon, royal officer in the service of His Excellency

the Governor.

Señor, we have reason to believe an escaped murderer is hiding in the

of this pueblo.

Nonsense, señor.

I run a crime -free pueblo.

Besides, you do not have the attire of a lieutenant. How do I know that all of

this is authentic?

I see.

Well, if you choose not to honor my credentials, uh...

Simply tell my uncle I was thrown out of Los Angeles by... What did you say your

name was?

Uncle what uncle?

My uncle.

The governor.

Oh, that uncle.

Of course.

One must be careful, these jades, Lieutenant, about impostors. Please be

The murderer's name is Carlos de la Paz.

He may appear young, but I assure you he is a very dangerous man.

He looks familiar.

Yes, he is the guest of the Tale of Vegas.

This will be our secret, Felipe.

No more tattling to Donald Handro.

It's just a part, Felipe.

Carlos is gone, Diego.

He disappeared with one of our best horses, and he took my ceremonial sword.

What do I tell his father?

Who in blazes is that?

We don't have much time, Felipe.

The alcalde intends to turn Carlos over to a murderer.

Where has Carlos gone?

Look, I need to know Felipe for his own good.

We're going to the pueblo.

Go on.

Diego.

We have unwelcome visitors.

Diego de la Vega, you and your father are under arrest for harboring the

murderer Carlos de la Paz.

I searched every room of this house, Valcaldez.

The fugitive is nowhere to be found.

I've told you how sly these people are. We've told the truth.

The boy has disappeared.

Liar! Do you consider yourself to be a judge of men, Lieutenant?

I know liars by their words.

Really?

Does a man even need to speak?

And you tell things about him just by looking at him?

Frequently. I agree.

I can tell by your spurs, for example, that you don't care much for your horse.

You probably have the same disregard for people.

Arrest them, Alcoly.

I will find Carlos de la Paz without...

What

do I tell Bernardo when he gets here?

That his son is not only missing, but that he's also a fugitive?

Keep Sergeant Mendoza busy.

I'll somehow find Carlos.

Sergeant Mendoza!

Good.

Am I wrong or is it supper time?

True, true. The smells from your kitchen have been sending my stomach an urgent

message. Let's go see what's cooking.

Yes, but Don Diego would be all alone.

He could escape.

Escape?

I hardly think so, Sergeant.

After all, the whole place is guarded.

That's true.

I am ready.

If Carlos wants so much to be a man, we must let him try.

We'll be there if he gets into trouble.

Yes. See you at the tavern.

Ah, Pedro, my friend.

Buenas noches, senor.

I haven't seen you here before.

That is my lot, senorita Escalante.

You know my name?

Among those with such a beauty, your name is a legend.

Well, is something wrong with the one?

Not at all.

The barn is across the plaza. That is where we feed animals.

Darling!

Take your hands off the lady.

You're prepared to defend the lady's honor, muchacho?

The lady's honor is not in question.

But I'm prepared to teach a jackal some manners.

Someone help us!

So your own friend could use some help.

Apologize to the lady, senor.

Why are you leaving?

I'm so sorry.

So sorry.

Please forgive us.

Please forgive us. Only if you leave now.

What?

I hope you will be my guest for dinner, Señor Carlos de la Paz.

And next time, do not hide that handsome look behind the disguise.

Thank you.

Lieutenant Frickel, my lances are scouring.

countryside for the fugitive scour away i'll call me but i think his capture is

near

What did he do?

Take him! No!

Zorro! Hola, Carlos!

I don't want to spoil your fun, but watch out!

Carlos!

Wow!

How's that?

Watch out!

No tricks, Zorro.

Over to my horse.

Muchas gracias, compadre.

Zorro!

Lancers! Arrest Zorro!

Alcalde, you should be arresting these men.

That man is wanted all over the territory.

That man is Lieutenant Recon, the governor's nephew. Nonsense. The

no nephew. He is the gangster, Vicente Torres.

As territorial judge, I order you to arrest him for kidnapping my son.

Your son?

Judge? That de la paz?

I have some problems.

Put this man in alliance!

Carlos.

I had no idea.

You have more courage than I realized.

Thank you, Father.

But I had help from a good friend.

Yes. A man always acknowledges friends.

Muchas gracias, Zorro.

Keep your blade sharp, Caballero.

It was a fine pageant, Diego. Did anyone else notice the Alcalde left a bit

upset, I think, for not being cast?

Once again, my deepest thanks.

I'm sure Carlos has memories to treasure for some time to come.

Oh, I think that goes for all of us.

I've never had such adventures, father. I'd like to come back again, and soon.

After all, Leapy and I have a lot to talk about.

I'll miss you too, my friend.

You know, Alejandro, as it happens, I'll be in San Pedro again in a month or

two. And if Don Diego approves, Carlos will always be welcome in our house.

Well, adios.

There you are, then.

Friendship has its obligations.

Felipe, what's wrong with your face?

The glue.

Nothing ever goes quite as we planned, does it?
