J‘ A "Z" that stands for Zorro

J‘ Zorro!

J‘ The Fox so cunning and free

J‘ Zorro!

J‘ Who makes the sign of the "Z"!

J‘ Zorro, Zorro, Zorro

J‘ Zorro, Zorro J‘

Ah, Sergeant Garcia.

Sit down, sergeant.

Here, near me.

Please have one of these, sergeant.

I can assure you,
they're of excellent quality.

Light it for him, capitan.

And be quick about it!

[Basilio] Sergeant,
I owe you an apology.

I had no idea you had been
in the army for so long a time.

Si. In just three weeks
it will be 20 years.

I suppose you thought of retiring.

No, I love the army, your Excellency.

But you know, of course, that you can
retire after 20 years of service?

Si, but I do not wish to.

Oh.

But have you thought of the land
you could own?

Land?

l have no money for land.

Oh, but you don't need any.

There is a law that permits the crown
to give land to retired soldiers.

- I did not know about that.
- Of course.

Now what do you think about retiring?

Well, |...

I would still like the army,
your Excellency.

I'm surprised, sergeant.

l have always thought you would make
an excellent hacendado.

Yes, I can easily envision it.

You, the master of a large hacienda,

which would be the social center
of all Los Angeles.

Presided over by yourself,
Don Demetrio Garcia.

Don Demetrio Lopez Garcia.

[Basilio] Sergeant,
you are my friend.

I can make this come true for you.

- You can, your Excellency?
- All you have to do is retire.

After all, it's your duty
to accept the land.

- My duty?
- Yes, it would set an example

to the other soldiers, encourage them
to give the same faithful service

to the king that you have, sergeant.

Si, your Excellency.

Adio's, Don Demetrio.

Are you feeling all right, Excellency?

Don't worry about me, Mendoza.

I know what I'm doing.

There is a law which states

that a comandante may
seize the property

of a person convicted of treason.

The property l have in mind presently

belongs to Don Cornelio Esperon.

Is he guilty of treason?

That should not be
too difficult to prove.

One way or another.

But why give it to Garcia?

Sergeant Garcia will be
good enough to hold it for us.

After this whole affair has quieted
down, I can think of nothing easier

than taking it back from him.

Don Demetrio Lopez Garcia.

Don Diego.
Buenas tardes, my good friends.

Buenas tardes, sergeant.

Come into the tavern
and let me buy you a drink.

- What?
- Just a token of friendship.

You too, little one.

Ah.

Well, sergeant,
what is this auspicious occasion?

My good friend, today,
as a matter of fact, a few moments ago,

I decided to perhaps retire
and become an hacendado,

like Don Alejandro
or yourself, Don Diego.

Very slowly sergeant,
would you mind repeating that?

Not at all. Some moments ago
I decided that perhaps I would retire

and become an hacendado...

- Don Diego, it seems that l...
- Please, sergeant.

Would you allow me to pay this time?

Gracias, Don Diego.
If you insist.

Now what... What is this you were saying
about getting an hacienda?

Well, lam not quite sure
about the details,

but my good friend,
his Excellency, Senor Basilio,

is going to arrange everything.

Your friend, Senor Basilio?

Si. Oh, Don Diego, he likes me.
He even apologized to me.

And then he told me that
my faithful service should be rewarded.

- You're making a joke?
- No, Don Diego.

I wouldn't do a thing like that.

Well, I don't understand it, sergeant,

but I'm very happy for you.
Congratulations.

Gracias, Don Diego.

lthink.

This man follows you around
like a slave.

We are all slaves, senorita.

Slaves to duty and slaves to beauty.

Well, are you enjoying
yourself, sergeant?

Si, Senor Basilio.

Somehow wine seems to taste
so much better from a Venetian glass.

Really? Venetian?

I hadn't noticed.

But then I've had eyes only
for Senorita Moneta.

Gracias,

Tell me, sergeant,
what other things have you discovered?

Forgive me, Don Cornelio,

but I like to encourage my men
to show an interest in the finer things.

That's very commendable, senor.

Sergeant, feel free to examine anything.

Gracias, Don Cornelio,
but it will not be necessary.

Oh, come now, don't
be embarrassed, sergeant.

After all, as a future hacendado,

you will have to learn
to accept hospitality graciously.

Now those, for instance.

Come, my dear.

Those candle holders are beautiful.

And by candlelight, your eyes seem
to be flecked with gold.

Tell me, sergeant, where would you say
these candle holders were made?

- France.
- They are exquisite.

What a pity we are not
better friends with the French.

Ah, now there is something
equally beautiful.

Come, my dear.

What workmanship.

What attention to detail.

Such a thing as this could have come
only from one country.

Where, sergeant?

- England?
- Yes.

England!

Spain's mortal enemy.

Sergeant, I deeply regret
that you should have

pointed these things out to me.

- [Diego] Senor Basilio!
- In a moment, de la Vega.

My dear.

I truly regret
that I shall have to inject

an unpleasant note
into what has been otherwise

Please forgive me.

But I don't understand.

Don Basilio, you seem to have taken
offense at some of my possessions.

Not |, Don Cornelio,
but the King of Spain.

Your glasses, your silver service,

now these candle holders.

And I am certain a great many other
things that the sergeant could find

were all obtained
in open defiance of the law,

which explicitly forbids
the possession of these articles.

Your Excellency, we all know
that this is an obsolete law.

It is, nevertheless, a law.

And as such, it will be enforced.

Cornelio Esperon, it is my duty to
arrest you for trading with the enemy,

smuggling illegal merchandise and for
high treason to his majesty, the king.

- Well, this is ridiculous.
- Capitan Mendoza.

- Surely you are joking.
- I am sorry, my dear.

Believe me, lam,
but I have no other choice.

It's my duty to enforce the law.

- Father?
- Excellency?

Senor Esperon is under arrest.

- Take him away.
- No, father!

ltwill be all right, Moneta.

Diego, take care of her.

Oh, uh, Senorde la Vega,

lwill need your testimony
at the trial.

- You will come?
- You can count on it.

Good.

And once again, senorita, I must
tell you how sorry I was to do this.

However, feel free
to visit your father at any time.

Buenas noches.

this hacienda, and all the lands
connected with it, are confiscated.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Congratulations, Sergeant.

As the soldier
who discovered this treason,

all this will be yours
when you retire.

[door closes]

Now, sergeant,
about the hearing tomorrow,

You know what you're to say, of course?

I cannot accuse Don Cornelio
of smuggling and treason

when everybody in Los Angeles owns
something that was not made in Spain.

- I choose not to hear that, sergeant.
- Nevertheless, it is true.

It had better not be!

Because if it is, then you are the one
who is guilty of treason!

- Me?
- For you, the penalty would be death.

The death penalty for me? Why?

If, as acting comandante,
you publically admit

that everyone trades
with the enemies of Spain,

then you are guilty of treason
because you have willfully failed

- to enforce his majesty's laws.
- But I didn't. I mean, I haven't.

And for that, I will see you hang!

Stand up when his Excellency is
speaking to you.

Well, sergeant, l... I hope
our little talk hasn't upset you.

- Of course not, your Excellency.
- Good.

I want you to understand the situation.

If you testify against Don Cornelio,

he will be exiled

and you will take over
all his lands and properties.

But if you testify that Don Cornelio's
treasonable acts are common practice,

you will hang.
Is that clear?

Si, Senor Basilio.

And if you mention a word
of this conversation,

you will wish, in the end,

that I had hanged you.

Buenas tardes, sergeant.

Excellency, when Don Cornelio is
convicted of treason,

are you really going to exile him?

Certainly.

But only as far as the gallows.

Buenas tardes, Corporal Reyes, Lugo.

Buenas tardes, Don Demetrio.

Just call me "sergeant"
or even "Demetrio."

Is that an order, sergeant?

Of course not.

Gracias, Don Demetrio.

Let's go.

Somehow I don't feel
very thirsty anymore.

Gracias, Jacinta,
but I do not have any money.

That is quite all right, Don Demetrio.

Your friend, Senor Basilio,
has guaranteed your credit...

...until you receive your blood money
for selling out Don Cornelio.

- Buenas tardes, sergeant.
- Buenas tardes, Don Diego.

And to you, little one.
Sit down, Don Diego, please sit down.

- I'd be delighted.
- Some wine, Don Diego?

No, no. No, thank you.

I would like a word with you, however.

Gracias, Don Diego.

I knew you were my friend.

I hope I am.

- I hope Don Cornelio is, also.
- Oh, yes, Don Diego, believe me.

Good! I knew you wouldn't
testify against him.

You do not understand, Don Diego.

I must.

You're right, sergeant.
I do not understand. Explain it to me.

Well, that is to say, I...

- Go on.
- I'm sorry, Don Diego.

I must do what I must do!

Now I think I do understand.

Don Demetrio,

I've better uses for my time.
Will you excuse me?

- But...
- But nothing.

I don't understand the sergeant, either.

We've got to make him
change his mind about testifying.

- [mimics sword swish]
- Certainly.

Senor Zorro... I hope.

Yes, sergeant. Zorro.

Thank goodness.
The way things have been happening

it could have been
Corporal Reyes, even.

I'm so glad to see you.

It is nice to have someone
to talk to,

- even if it is you.
- All right, sergeant. Talk to me.

Tell me, why are you going
to testify against Don Cornelio?

That is one thing I cannot tell you.

Does becoming a landowner mean
that much to you, sergeant?

Oh, no, SenorZorro,
you must believe me.

lam happyjust being a soldier.

Can't you see how happy I am?

I don't want Don Cornelio's hacienda.

- Then why are you taking it?
- Well, |...

Look, sergeant, all you have to do
is testify that

nearly everyone in Los Angeles has
bought goods from other countries

and Don Cornelio will go free.
Will you do it?

And if! do not testify against
Don Cornelio, Senor Basilio will...

Senor Basilio will not
give you Don Cornelio's hacienda.

- Is that it, sergeant?
- Please, SenorZorro!

Well, let me tell you this.

If you do testify against Don Cornelio,

I'm going to carve a "Z"
right on the seat of your trousers.

I know, SenorZorro.
You always do.

Only this time, sergeant,
I'll do it from this side.

[knocking]

[man] Sergeant Garcia, you haven't
made your inspection. I have to come in?

Remember, sergeant, from this side.

Sergeant Garcia!

Oh, shut up!

I hope I have been able
to make my position clear.

lam an humble servant of the law.

A simple subject
of his majesty, the King of Spain.

Whatever be my feelings in this matter,

there is only one course
that I may follow.

The law has been violated.

And the law must be satisfied.

It would not surprise me
if he started to cry.

Because this is a hearing
and not a trial,

I shall call but one witness.

He will be able to supply all the facts
pertinent to this situation.

| now call

Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia.

[murmuring]

Now, Sergeant Garcia,

will you tell us,
in your own words, of the smuggling,

the treachery and the treason
that you discovered

at the hacienda of Cornelio Esperon?

Well, |...

May l have a glass
of water please, Excellency?

Yes, of course.

Gracias, Excellency.

Now, you found numerous items

forbidden by law to be in
the possession of California citizens.

Is that true?

Si.

And you were surprised,
were you not,

to discover this evidence?

We are waiting, sergeant.

You did not know of
this treasonable traffic, did you?

Otherwise, you would be guilty
of treason yourself.

All right, then lam guilty,
because I knew of it.

- [murmuring]
- [Basilio] Knew about it!

- Do you realize what you're saying?
- Si.

Even the governor
and the Viceroy know

we trade with other ships
that come to California.

It is a common practice.

Are you confessing to treason
in open court?

They tell me, your Excellency,
that confession is good for the soul.

If anyone moves, Senor Basilio dies.

Everyone stand still!

A wise decision, senor.

Let's see if we cannot broaden the base
of our confession in open court.

I notice this coat you're wearing is
made of exceptionally fine wool.

Where is it from?
Where was it made, Excellency?

England.

Well, Excellency,
what do we have here?

Excellent watch, eh, sergeant?

Where would you say it was made?

Switzerland.

[people murmuring]

You know that's exquisite brocade
in your vest, senor.

Tell us, where did it come from?

I can explain.

- Where did it come from?
- France.

- [laughter]
- For the sake of modesty, senor,

we will assume that
the pants were made in Spain.

[laughter]

And now, your Excellency,
do you wish to render a verdict?

Are you, the sergeant and Don Cornelio
guilty or not guilty of treason?

- Not guilty.
- [cheering]

Hey, Lugo, did you hear that?
Not guilty.

There's no one to guard now.
Come on.

- Zorro!
- [Basilio] Mendoza!

Mendoza, get me down.
Get me down!

Lancers!

Get him!

Shoot him!

Shoot him!
After him!

Don't let him get away!

Shoot him!
