All language subtitles for Zorro s04e11 Symbol Of Hope

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, my hero must
rise with courage that evil a mask

won't disguise.

They turn to the man called Zorro.

Zorro! Oh, who's larger than life and
defender of all is this man who the

people acclaim.

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

A hero whose name is Sorrow.

His name is Sorrow.

Sorrow.

Aha.

Another cave, Sergeant. I've got it.

We've already searched 12 caves today.

Still no sign of Zorro.

Well, Sergeant, in less than 48 hours
we're both going to hang unless we find

Zorro, so I suggest it's worth the
effort.

Why me, Alcalde?

Zorro in the case.

Well, we move on.

Come along, Todd.

I've never seen such a small turnout for
Sunday Mass

before. People are afraid to come to
town, Diego.

All right.

I assume you said your prayers, Alcalde.
Because if you don't capture Zorro

within two days, you'll soon be meeting
your maker.

A splendid mission you have here, Padre
Benitez.

Oh, thank you.

It was built by the local Indians.

Under Spanish rule and supervision, of
course.

But then I'm sure you appreciate His
Majesty's generosity.

Generosity? But it is the duty.

Of every Christian king to send the word
of God to the four corners of the

earth. Just as it is your duty to
discharge this mission's obligations to

royal throne.

With all respect, our only obligation is
to God.

God is not engaged in a war with the
French.

We are.

And since the church shares our duty to
support the Spanish crown in that

effort, I hereby confiscate all mission
property.

What?

You can't do that.

Really? And just who is going to stop
me?

This is unheard of. What you propose is
unprecedented.

It is rather creative, I agree.

Be warned, Senor Resendo.

The people of this pueblo will never
stand for this. The people are a

pack of jackals.

Don't threaten me with insurrection, de
la Vega.

For years, the church has grown fat with
the help of the crown.

Now it is simply time.

To pay the piper.

Elevega's right. This could force the
people to rise up against us.

Allow me to arrest the ringleaders and
make an example of them.

No, Lieutenant.

Let them simmer a while longer.

An angry mob is easily led by the nose.

And I know precisely where to lead them.

It's time for a town meeting. Come on.

My friends.

We are faced with a brazen disregard for
the sanctity of our church.

No, my friends.

Rebellion is not the answer.

His troops will crush us. We have to
give Zorro to help us.

Good people.

The fact is I share your concerns.

But you've got to take a broader view of
things.

I have been sent here to collect a
special war tax.

If I return to Madrid empty -handed, the
king will undoubtedly make an example

of this pueblo. A violent, bloody
example.

You see, my friends, there are two
inescapable realities of life.

Death and taxes.

And you must choose between them.

The church has never been required to
pay taxes.

If the people of Los Angeles would only
pay the balance of this special

assessment, I would not be forced to
confiscate church property. Many people

have paid.

True, Padre.

Humble farmers go hungry to support
their country's war effort.

But as long as certain wealthy
caballeros avoid paying taxes, I have no

but to sell off church property to make
up the deficit.

What do you mean?

Why don't they pay the same tax as us?

Because they get tax credits for
supplying the military garrison with

but the value is well below the market
price.

And they get 12 ,000 acres of prime land
tax -free just for putting it under the

plow. That is perfectly legal. Oh, it
may all well be perfectly legal, my

friends, but as always, there is one law
for the rich and another for the rest

of us.

Who does this?

Which caballeros?

Well, there are.

Two? Right here?

Let the emissary take their haciendas
instead of our church.

What good will a letter to the governor
do?

Or send it as an emissary to the king?

You expecting someone?

No. Well, I'm still sending the letter.

Emissary Resendo, Lieutenant Tidalgo,
what can I do for you?

Aren't you going to invite us in?

Of course. Why not?

Diego.

Magnificent, Hacienda.

How long have you lived here?

Many years.

Ever since my father first arrived and
worked the land.

Indeed.

But I'm afraid your fellow Los Angelinos
won't let you justify your failure to

pay taxes on the backs of your
ancestors.

You see, the mere threat of my seizing
church property very nearly caused a

earlier today.

And since part of my responsibility is
to prevent civil insurrection, the will

of the people must be taken into
account.

Lieutenant Hidalgo, if you please.

Alejandro de la Vega, by the power
invested in me by King Ferdinand, I

seize this hacienda and all adjacent
property.

And so, dearest mother, I cannot wait
for you to join me where we truly

In the magnificent De La Vega Hacienda.

Now only one more hurdle remains.

Alejandro and Diego will soon be
groveling at my feet.

Don't know Alejandro is not going to
take this eviction lying down.

Diego that troubles me.

I can't imagine why.

Something about him.

There's more to Diego de la Vega than
meets the eye.

It's really very kind of you to put us
up like this, Victoria.

Oh, well, it's the least I can do for
all the times that you and Don Alejandro

have helped me.

Diego.

I don't believe it.

What's wrong?

Emissary Resendo.

He's impounded our bank accounts. But he
can't do that.

As the emissary is so fond of telling
us, he can do anything he pleases. How

we get our hacienda back?

You should have paid your taxes.

Like that, you wouldn't be in so much
trouble.

Senor Peralta. Father, please.

The man is living in our hacienda. I
know. I know.

Consider this.

It was simply a matter of collecting the
10 ,000 pesos war tax.

He'd quickly sell our Hacienda to the
first bidder and be on his way back to

Madrid. Instead, he chooses to protract
this entire affair by taking our

Hacienda as his own home.

And why impound our bank accounts so we
have no way of regaining the Hacienda?

He's after more than money.

Why doesn't Zorro do something about
this now?

We can't expect Zorro to fight all our
battles.

I'm going to Santa Barbara to consult
with Don Luis Cristobal.

Oh, my friend, the lawyer.

Yes.

We are to rid ourselves of Resendo. This
battle must be fought in a court of

law. I'll return within three days.

Adios.

Alcalde? Sergeant, any luck? No, no luck
at all.

Resendo's not in his office.

He's not here, is he?

No, Alcalde.

The man is firmly ensconced in my
hacienda.

You sold your hacienda? No, Sergeant.

We've been evicted.

Evicted?

Diego's on his way to Santa Barbara to
hire a lawyer.

Ah, chicken moly.

Sergeant, your stomach can wait till
after we've captured Zorro.

Go, boy.

Leave the bottle.

Get out of here.

Good to see you too, Felipe.

You all right?

Obviously, I had to come in through the
cave. Resendo has the house surrounded

with guards.

Yes, Felipe.

Tonight is a night Gilberto Resendo will
never forget.

How can you be sure that Zorro will
come?

De La Vega's been thrown out of their
own home, Sergeant.

So?

There's no greater friend to Zorro than
Don Alejandro De La Vega. Zorro has to

come to help him.

It doesn't seem right to capture Zorro
if he's coming to help a friend.

I'm not trying to capture Zorro,
Sergeant.

We're going to kill him.

We are?

Do you want to die the day after
tomorrow?

No, but... And Zorro?

An excellent meal.

I may just take the de la Vega cook back
with me to Madrid.

Where is that boy?

I don't care if you are, Death, you
insolent pup.

This is a brandy glass. When I hold this
up and it's empty, it means I want

brandy. Then you shall definitely have
your brandy.

Let me have it. Kill him and be quick
about

it.

Not a guess.

But not quick enough.

Guys, slow down!

And here I thought this was just going
to be between the two of us.

have interfered with my plans for the
last time.

It is indeed the last time.

I was in there.

How'd he get in?

He's a very tricky fellow.

Maybe he used the back door.

Tricky or not, I'll be the final victim.

Farewell, my masked friend.

What happened, Alcalde?

Emissary, what happened?

Hero has died fighting for the King of
Spain.

Alcalde!

See that Lieutenant Hidalgo's body is
properly taken care of.

I have some unfinished business.

Answer!

So you're back.

Zorro killed my lieutenant.

He did.

But only after making your house
unlivable.

Does that mean you're abandoning our
hacienda? I've lost my taste for it.

Therefore, the church property will have
to be sold to pay for the overdue

taxes.

Just one moment.

You've got the money from my bank
accounts.

You pay the taxes with that.

But since we'll be investigating the
sources of your frozen assets, which

take years, those funds aren't legally
available to pay the taxes.

Say how and now, Emissary.

Zorro? Gods!

Enough! Enough bottle beer!

I personally released the De La Vega
funds from the bank.

Since they're now mine, allow me to pay
the Pueblo's back taxes.

You can't pay the taxes with stolen
money!

Why not?

But that money is really yours, Don
Alejandro.

It's money well spent to save the
church.

Give me the rest of me, it's good grief,
Flamigo.

I'll have your head.

Yeah, Flamigo, you want my head.

The rest of me.

Remember who your friends are.

We're only by standing together.

Will any of us be able to stand at all?

The events have undermined my true
purpose in volunteering for this

The ruin and humiliation of Alejandro de
la Vega and his son.

But first there is one obstacle I must
overcome.

A bandit by the name of Zorro.

I shall tear him limb from limb and
bring his head back to Madrid on a spike

Toledo steel.

There is no alternative.

And I will not rest until this is done.
