Be careful. Ease it onto the cart.

That's it. Be careful now.

Licenciado Pina, sign the burial certificate.

The sergeant will overcome his usual modesty.

- Inform people of your exploit. - What have I done now?

Your accuracy with a musket felled the prisoner as he escaped.

Let it be known as an example.

How my accuracy with a...

Oh, si, comandante. Gracias.

Open the gates and move on! Andale!

It was I, Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia,

who saw Martinez trying to escape,

and with unerring accuracy brought him down with a shot!

Ah, my guitar strings!

Someone died? Who?

Zorro the second?

Martinez, the man who impersonated me, he died? How?

Garcia shot him escaping jail?

That's very strange, Bernardo.

Martinez was supposed to be in a military jail.

At the same time, dressed as Zorro and robbing us at the tavern.

Interesting how he could get out of his cell to do this.

Yes, Monastario could have let Martinez out in order to discredit Zorro,

and when this failed,

he could have gotten rid of him before anyone could question him.

If that is the case, it is murder.

It is taking a chance. I do not like it!

I do not care whether you like it or not!

- What can go wrong? - What can go wrong?

At the graveyard soldiers dropped the coffin.

- It nearly burst open! - But it did not!

I died 1000 deaths. How could one explain a coffin filled with rocks?

Have you finished? We've a long ride ahead.

I'm ready. Mark my words, no good will come of this.

How can you trust a man like Martinez?

I do not trust anyone, not even you.

You will do my bidding, without me you are nothing.

I know Martinez will obey me, too.

Without my help, he can never hope to escape.

Just the same, I am afraid. He has a quick tongue and temper.

He knows every comandante in California has orders to arrest him.

He needs us even more than we need him. Come.

Hola!

Everything well, Martinez? You have made yourself comfortable.

You even bring me a black horse! You think of everything, almost.

What about Zorro?

He will not interfere. Licenciado, switch horses.

When we return, you will ride the roan.

Come.

Ride to the Mission of San Gabriel.

Steal the crown of the Virgin by the altar.

You will have a fortune and people will be against Zorro!

I have done many things, but never robbed a church!

Nor have you been hanged. Which do you prefer?

When you have the crown, come back. Let no one see you.

Friday, a ship in San Pedro will be taking hides. I will get you onto it.

You've reported my death? No one will track me down?

Part of my plan. Everyone believes you are dead.

Zorro will never prove he did not commit the crime.

Back to my first question.

How can you be sure Zorro will not interfere?

I have not told a soul the details.

There is no way Zorro can learn about it and spoil my plans!

"Burn our desires and our hearts with the fire of the Holy Spirit,

that we may serve Thee with a chaste body and clean heart."

Zorro! Don't take the crown!

Padre Felipe! Socorro! Auxilio!

Help! Ugh!

Padre Felipe! Help!

Padre,

Zorro steal

Virgin crown.

Dominus vobiscum.

So this is the work of Zorro, the people's friend.

Come in, Benito.

I bring news, senores.

A vaquero saw Zorro riding through the hills not a half hour ago.

How could he possibly be riding?

Hard to tell. He was headed for the Mission.

When Zorro rides, there is a reason, but why the mission?

I don't know, but if he does something remarkable we'll hear about it.

Good of you to tell us, Benito.

Thank you for the information.

-Por nada, patron. -Buenas noches.

Could you pretend to be interested in the exploits of El Zorro?

He is a man of courage, risking his life on your behalf and mine.

I am interested. Didn't I say we'll hear the news in time?

Then I will listen.

Wish I could remember how this goes!

Seems to me these guitar strings break too easily!

Well, I was getting tired anyway!

It is very strenuous, playing the guitar!

With permission, Father.

Come, Bernardo. There's little time.

Again, someone rides as Zorro, but who, and why towards the mission?

Padre Felipe's in for trouble.

Padre Felipe!

- Don't shoot. I'm your friend! - You kill my friend!

Muchachos, I have Zorro!

Bernardo...

The man who dressed as Zorro killed someone.

I'm afraid it might be Padre Felipe.

How do you know?

Was he here all the time I was at the mission?

Is he still here? Help with my clothes.

Padre Felipe, it is indeed good to see you.

It is late, though. I hope no one is ill.

It is even worse than that.

Padre can tell you why Zorro rode tonight.

He broke into the church, stole the Virgin's jewels.

Struck down and killed Inocente, who tried to stop him.

Can this be Zorro? The real Zorro?

This is what we have been discussing.

It is said even the devil feigns a halo when he first comes.

Zorro pretended to be friend of the people.

Now we see him as he really is.

I find this difficult to believe.

It is difficult for me to believe, even though I saw it.

But one thing is certain,

Zorro will never dare ride again after tonight.

He destroyed the legend of being a hero.

The entire countryside is up in arms, ready to shoot him down at sight!

Padre says Zorro will never show himself again,

unless we can prove someone else committed the crimes.

What do we know about the man who impersonated Zorro?

He stole the crown of jewels from the figure of the Virgin.

We know he killed an Indian, and we also know that he got away.

What can we assume that we don't already know?

You think Monastario dressed as Zorro?

No, Monastario would not take a chance like that.

Oh, no doubt he planned it all,

but I believe he would get someone else to do it. Someone like Martinez.

I know. Martinez is dead.

So who else could he get? Well, answer me this.

Will the man with the jewels keep or share them with Monastario?

It could be either way.

I wonder if someone would be confused if extra gems showed up?

Who would be confused?

Do you not think Monastario might be more confused?

If I can confuse him, maybe he'll lead me to that man.

I got those in Mexico. Not the best imitations

but not anyone will know the difference. Come.

Let us go and speed up the falling out among thieves!

May I sit, licenciado? It is hard to find a good table.

My pleasure, Senor de la Vega.

- I've seen her before, she's attractive. - Pilar Fuentes.

One man has already lost his life over her.

I shall admire her from a distance!

Wait a minute!

- Don't try to hold out on me. I saw you! - Hands off me!

Here, here! Stop this! Basta! Here, what is the trouble?

She is trying to keep coins. I saw her.

- It's not a coin, I found it. It's mine! - Open your hand!

Open it or I'll open it for you!

Santo Nino de Atocha!

It's a ruby! Look at it! It must be worth a fortune!

- Who would toss a ruby to a dancer? - Someone who has had drinks!

It's probably one of the stones stolen from the mission.

What a foolish thing to do.

Unless he just wanted to get rid of them.

- May I order you another drink? - No, thanks. I should go now.

Look!

- It's a diamond! -Ay, caray!

Oh, there is no doubt at all.

These must be the gems from the mission!

Zorro, the man who took them, could be somebody in this room!

Excuse me, senor. I forgot something.

First the ruby, then I looked down and saw the diamond on the tray!

- I do not understand. - I told you not to trust Martinez!

He has not followed instructions. This he will regret!

He was not in the tavern. Maybe the dancer hid him.

He followed her from Monterey.

Watch the dancer closely.

See if she will lead you to Martinez. If not... I have a better idea!

Have her arrested on some charge. You will make her talk.

Splendid idea.

I will ride to the hideout. I shall arrive by dawn.

If he is not there, I will wait.

Martinez will find that his funeral was too early!

Looking for me? This part of the plan you didn't explain.

- You come to murder me and take the gems. - You know why I am here!

I'm sure that man is Martinez.

No, Bernardo, he is very alive.

If I did not value my own life, I would relieve you of yours!

I make you a gift of it!

I can't allow him to escape, even though the comandante's a witness. Wait here.

- What are you doing here? - Apparently, seeing a ghost.

Do not stop him. He will kill you!

He robbed the mission as Zorro. I know my duty.

- Out of my way or I'll cut you down! - No. I'm going to see this through.

Give me your weapon.

You should have had the comandante give you lessons. Too late.

But I did learn something from the comandante.

My hat!

You are about to lose your life. The luckiest swordsman alive.

I never saw a man so awkward who lived so long!

Awkward?

You see, senor, luck is not enough!

Why did you kill him?

He was a dangerous criminal.

Perhaps it would've been embarrassing to have him captured?

It's the crown of jewels.

Something wrong?

Oh no, nothing is wrong.

I shall return this to Padre.

Of course, you will explain it was not Zorro?

Naturally.

The people will owe a debt of gratitude to their comandante!

Just one moment.

Permit me one question?

How was it possible for Martinez to rob the mission when you already buried him?

Garcia made out that report.

I will see he is properly disciplined. Uh... And now permit me one question.

How is it possible the most inept swordsman in California

was able to defeat Martinez, one of the best?

Well, perhaps Martinez was right when he said

I am the luckiest swordsman alive!

Next week, Monastario gambles all

in one desperate effort to capture Zorro.

Father, it's Diego.

Diego de la Vega is the infamous outlaw Zorro.

Now admit you are Zorro or your throat will never utter another sound.

Thrill to the astounding climax as Zorro brings an end to Monastario

next week, when the Walt Disney Studio presents Zorro!
