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 our hero must rise Courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man called Zorro.

One who's larger than life and defender 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.

Are you alright?

No, I'm not.

get you to safety.

You three, search the wagon.

You two, come with me. We've got the wagon heavy. Why make troubles for

ourselves? Because Zorro's bounty is 6 ,000 pesos. That is why.

But Zorro is... Well, he's Zorro. He ran away from us, didn't he?

One set of tracks.

He's carrying her. They can't get far. Come on.

Shoot him on sight. The woman too.

I don't want witnesses.

I have to learn a secret that I've kept from you all these years.

They went up there.

The tracks... They just disappeared.

They're very close, hombre.

Very close.

Search every inch of this ground.

Look.

It tracks.

This way.

You'll never find those tracks.

We're in tornado.

That horse has destroyed their tracks.

Back to the wagon.

Where are we?

What is this place?

It's a cave.

A cave?

Yes, this is where Zorro lives.

Where do you live when you're not Zorro?

Why were those outlaws chasing you?

Outlaws?

Oh, because of my wagon.

Ow! Ow! What's wrong?

I think it's my ankle.

This ankle is either very badly sprained or broken.

I think it's going to need a splint.

It's just there's a thousand pesos in a secret compartment underneath the

floorboards in my wagon.

A thousand pesos?

You always travel with so much money? I was on my way to Santa Paula to settle

the mortgage on the tavern.

Well, with any luck, the bandits won't discover the secret compartment.

I can't afford to take that chance.

I have to do something.

I think the first priority is to wrap this ankle properly.

There must be a thousand pesos in there.

But just think, amigos.

The reward for Zorro is six times more than this.

Those bandits nearly discovered us, so I may have to deter their pursuit.

In the meantime... In the meantime, they'll find my money.

The important thing is to doctor this ankle properly.

Well, I didn't need any doctoring until you came along.

You should have warned me.

I tried, but you didn't listen.

And they would have never caught up to me if you hadn't jumped on my horses

some raging bull and... And if they had caught up with you, a damaged ankle

would be the least of your problems.

I guess we're having our first quarrel.

We've never had time for a quarrel before.

I'm sorry.

I know you tried.

Relax. Don't go.

Cactus tea.

Promotes healing and eases the pain.

Is this where you come up with all your tricks?

Tricks?

All based upon applied science. Try this. It'll make you feel better.

It smells terrible.

Well, closing your eyes hides the taste.

It is truly awful.

Frequently the things we like the least do us the most good.

This ankle should be elevated.

What's the matter? This is a more comfortable direction.

Something wrong?

No. Ow!

Pardon my clumsiness.

You must know I would do anything to avoid hurting you.

kept us apart far too long.

Then remove it.

And end the secrecy.

And let us live our lives like normal people.

Like normal people.

Perhaps tonight we can make a start.

Drink this.

I'll be back shortly.

Where are you going?

Don't normal people have a nice romantic dinner every once in a while?

It was a matter of necessity, amigo.

There were six bandits. Victoria was unconscious.

I couldn't risk leaving her while I confronted them.

I know, I know.

But her safety is far more important than protecting my identity.

Besides, perhaps the time has come to tell her everything.

Love fries a man's brain like a crystal tear.

We've tracked them to this very spot.

So Zorro's hideout is about here someplace.

Very close.

They've vanished into thin air.

We're wasting our time.

We don't leave until we find it. I want that reward money. Yeah.

Where do you live when you're not Zorro?

And where did this delicious dinner come from?

And what's at the top of those stairs?

I'd better go see if those bandits have returned. Please don't change the

subject.

Who are you, Zorro?

Don't I have the right to know the man behind the mask?

The man behind this mask is... The man behind this mask...

He's afraid of only one thing in this world.

That you love a hero with whom he cannot possibly compete.

That if this mask were removed, you would still be in love with Zorro.

And not with a man of flesh and blood.

I've never known this man of flesh and blood.

But I do know this.

The courage and the passion that lives in Zorro's heart also lives in his.

Share your secret with me.

Very well, Victoria.

You shall know.

Arm system.

Someone's at the gate entrance.

No wonder he calls himself the Fox.

Shame I didn't get my hands on him before.

Get the horses, Pedro.

We'll divide up the money tonight.

Why not now?

Now!

That woman who escaped with Zorro, she knows where his hideout is, yes?

And when she returns to the tavern, we will get that information out of her.

One way or another.

Dominos!

Have they gone?

Yes.

But they may return.

I'm afraid it's time to leave.

I really don't need any more.

There is a side effect to the Indian remedy.

A large enough dose induces sleep.

Zorro, I would die before revealing the secret to your cave.

That is what I'm trying to avoid.

So you planned this all along?

No.

I was ready to share everything with you.

The location of this cave, my identity, even my life.

But as long as I wear this mask, I must carry the secret alone.

Would you do this for us?

It's just... Each time I... I see you might be the last.

It's not true, Victoria.

I will always be with you.

I want you to know what is in my heart.

Yes, but you said... And you told me... Wait.

Wait here.

Where is everybody?

Sleeping, no doubt.

Diego!

Felipe.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Where's Diego?

He's at the tavern. Would you please help me unload the carriage?

So sleepy.

This was my mother's.

It's beautiful.

This is a symbol of our future.

Our future?

Will you marry me?

Marry you?

Now, who's proposing?

The man or the legend?

The man.

Yes, absolutely and definitely yes.

Oh, every time I've dreamt of this moment, I've always been awake.

I'm so sleepy.

As long as I wear this mask, the ring must be our secret.

Believe me, the day is coming.

I will tell the world about love.

California. Oh, then it's a pity you're in Alpa, California.

Zorro, this morning you brought

me two bandidos. Now you bring me five more and seven.

Make that eight.

Amigo, my jail is getting full.

You know, this time maybe you should be thinking about retiring soon.

One of these days, Sergeant.

I have to tell you, in spite of your ordeal, you are looking more radiant

ever. May I?

Thank you, Don Alejandro. I am feeling much better.

You'll be operating the tavern again in no time.

Who do you have helping you back there while you recover?

Unfortunately, Sergeant Mendoza has volunteered his services.

I think I better help the sergeant, don't you think?

That would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

My father was right.

You look incredibly well.

Dr. Hernandez truly works wonders.

Oh, it has nothing to do with Dr. Hernandez.

Then who?

So, tell me, what was his prescription?

Oh, an old Indian remedy.

Indeed.

There must have been something more.

You look happier than a lamb in a meadow.

What else happened?

You can tell me. We're friends.

Can you keep a secret?

Most certainly.

So can I.
