Our visitor, Bernardo.
I think I've seen him before.

Yes, he has an unusual beard.
It's not easily forgotten.

At the king's palace in Spain. He's an
ambassador from a European country.

I wonder what he's doing here.

Buenos días, señor.

Permit me to bid you welcome.
I am Diego de la Vega.

I came to speak with Señor Varga.

Did not my servant tell you?

I do not discuss my business
with servants.

Of course not. Señor Varga is not here.

I will wait.

May I offer you refreshment
while you wait?

I regret we do not have any vodka.

- My servant is deaf and dumb.
- Oh, a very good idea.

- Did you have a pleasant trip, count?
- What did you call me?

You are Count Kolinko, are you not?

But I do not know you.

If you'll forgive me, señor,
you do have a very distinctive beard.

Of course.

I would be described to you that way.

It would be the easiest way.

You Latins cannot
raise one of this density.

- To the cause.
- The cause.

When will Señor Varga return?

He is no longer with us.

He moved his headquarters to Los Angeles.

Why didn't you tell me
that in the first place?

I wanted to make certain
who you were, count.

That's very wise.

- More wine?
- No, thank you.

It's very good, though. For wine.

- Señor Brighton seemed to enjoy it.
- Señor Brighton?

A charming man. Do you know him?

Yes, I've met him. When was he here?

Oh, about a week or two ago.

Perhaps I should not have mentioned this.

No, it's all right.

I expected him to contact Señor Varga.

Uh, what was his offer?

I think I have said
too much already, count.

- Let's forget it, shall we?
- No, no.

- Uh, what was his proposition?
- You know I can't tell you that.

Well, then, without telling me...

was his offer better than
the one made by my government?

My dear count, as much as
I would like to tell you, I cannot.

- However...
- Yes?

You tell me your government's
latest proposal,

and I'll tell you whether, in my opinion,
it compares favorably

with that of Señor Brighton's government.

Good. Good.

Diego, I have just finished writing
my first report to the governor.

Would you like to hear--?
Oh, I did not know we had a visitor.

Father, allow me to present Count Kolinko.

Count, this is my father,
Don Alejandro de la Vega.

- Don Alejandro, your servant.
- My pleasure.

The count is looking for the administrado.

If you have business, be careful.
His methods are questionable.

- Oh, is that so?
- More wine, Excellency?

No, thank you. What about Señor Varga?

- When I was in--
- Something to eat?

I am not hungry.

What is the matter with you?
I am talking to the count.

When I was in Monterey, Señor Varga
moved in without my permission.

He took charge of everything.
Such a man is not to be trusted.

Sometimes it's very difficult
to know whom to trust.

You are very right.
The governor realizes this too.

That is why he accepted
my plan so readily.

Your plan?

It is no secret that Spain
cannot give her colonies much aid.

- Yes, Spain is very weak.
- But her people are not.

My plan is to organize and train
the people to defend themselves.

Throughout all California,
in every presidio,

the men will be formed
into a citizens' army

to support the soldiers in case of danger.

A very good plan.

I shall follow its progress
with great interest.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Thank you for your hospitality,
Señor de la Vega.

Permit me to show you to your carriage.

- Thank you.
- Will you be in California long?

I plan to be here some time.

Splendid. Perhaps you
will visit our hacienda again.

If things go the way I wish,
I'll see a good deal of it.

I love my father very much.

But why could he have not waited
five minutes before joining us?

We might have found out
what business Kolinko has with the Eagle.

Now we will have to do it the hard way.

Señor Varga,
my government is very concerned.

It would do well to concern itself
with other matters.

My arrangement
with Señor Brighton is ended.

And as for Alejandro de la Vega
and his citizen army,

I have known for some time.

Then you admit they could interfere
with our plans?

Nothing interferes with my plans.

Sit down. Sit down and tell me again.

Why did you go to the de la Vega hacienda?

I was looking for you.

Nobody notified me that you had moved
your headquarters.

- Did you expect to be told?
- Yes.

I dislike very much
having to repeat myself, señor.

But let me tell you this again.

The only message you may expect
to receive from me

will be the one which reads,
"California is in my hands."

I am accountable to no one.
Is that clear? No one!

Of course. My government
is very much aware of that.

I merely wish to offer my personal aid.

In the form of suggestion, no doubt.

I am familiar with the manner in which
your government lends its aid.

I'm sure I can be very useful to you.

I've had experience in dealing with
dangerous intellectuals

such as young de la Vega.

- You consider him to be dangerous?
- Very much so.

In the future, permit me to decide
who is dangerous and who is not.

Of course, Señor Varga.

You're welcome to remain
in Los Angeles as my guest.

I will do everything I can to cooperate.

You amuse me.

Yes. For the size of his house,

Señor Varga seems to have
too many servants.

Having fun, sergeant?

Hold still, little one, so I can get by.

Gracias. Buenas tardes, Don Diego.

I'm surprised to find you
leaving the tavern.

So am I. But I am on duty.

Since the administrado moved,
I am always on duty.

Then you've been inside?
How is the remodeling?

Oh, Don Diego, it is beautiful.

He has a very large...

All the way from Monterey,
even from Spain...

To tell the truth,
I have not yet been inside.

- Not exactly.
- Oh.

The remodeling has not been completed.

- He does not want visitors until it is.
- That's understandable.

- Then no one has been inside?
- Only Señor Greco and the servants.

No one else? Not even a man
with a very unusual beard?

How do you know about him?

He stopped at the hacienda
to ask directions.

- Why? Is his visit a secret?
- Oh, no, Don Diego.

That beard would be
as difficult to hide as...

But he is not a visitor.

He is a dealer in art objects
from Monterey.

I see.

Has Señor Varga bought many art objects?

That wagonload is the third this week.

If you will excuse me,
Don Diego, it will soon be dark.

I must get the guards around
the administrado's house.

By all means, do your duty.
Perhaps join me later for supper?

With pleasure, Don Diego. Gracias.

Do you find Señor Varga's
art objects interesting?

Yes. Those vases appear to be quite heavy.
I wonder what they hold.

Good work, Bernardo.

Here. Let me have it.

A cannonball?

Yes. With a cannon,
the Eagle could destroy the cuartel.

Then nothing could stop him.

Yes. I'm sure the cannon was brought
to Señor Varga's house.

Which brings up an interesting point.

Did the man with the unusual beard
bring the cannon,

or is he here because of it?

Yes.

Is Señor Varga at home this evening?

And Count Kolinko? Good.
Go to the storeroom and meet me there.

Halt! Who goes there?

Halt! Who goes there?
Who goes there, I say?

What do you mean,
"Who goes there?"

- Can't you see this is me, stupid?
- Yes, sergeant.

- Then why do you ask?
- You told me to.

- You said anybody I saw.
-Baboso, I'm not anybody.

I don't feel like myself tonight either.
Let's go to the tavern.

Corporal Reyes, you are on duty.
Do you know what that means?

- Yes, sergeant.
- Good. I'll make a soldier of you yet.

Now, I am on duty also.

But you do not see me going in
and out of the tavern, do you?

- No, sergeant.
- Exactly.

And do you know why?

Because from here I can't see the tavern.

I hope that satisfied you, Señor Kolinko.

I am very pleased you let me see
for myself, Señor Varga.

- When will you bring the--?
- Tomorrow morning.

But in the daylight?
Isn't that taking a chance?

- One more art object among so many.
- The delay was unavoidable.

- A wheel on the cart broke.
- It is not necessary to explain!

Who is it?

Sergeant Garcia, administrado.
- That fool.

What does he wish now?

Come back in the morning, sergeant.

It is very important, administrado.

Just a moment.

I do not want him
to see you here at this hour.

Both of you, into the back room and wait.
No noise whatsoever.

I hope this is important, sergeant.

A thousand pardons, but your report
to the governor is ready.

You dare disturb me for this?
I could have signed it tomorrow.

But the messenger leaves
at 6 in the morning.

I did not think you would care
to be disturbed.

- Besides which, you would have to get up.
- Yes, Excellency.

Oh, no. As a soldier, I am accustomed
to rising with the sun.

I can imagine.

But that won't be necessary.
Give me the report. I'll sign it.

Sergeant Garcia!

-Sí, administrado?
- The page that I must sign is missing.

- It is?
- It is.

Well, sergeant?

- I must have left it in the office.
- Idiot.

- It is on the desk. I will get it.
- No, you will not.

You might lose it
on your way across the plaza.

I will go to the office with you
and sign it there.

-Sí, administrado.
- That page had better be on your desk.

Oh, it is, administrado. I hope.

- What are you doing?
- Let go of my arm. That's Zorro.

A shot will bring the soldiers.

- They must not see in there.
- Our men are sleeping. Get them.

Good evening, señor.
Perhaps I should whisper.

We would not want the soldiers
outside to hear us, would we?

Get him!

- Sergeant, I hear noises.
- What noises?

Listen.

- That kind of noises.
- It came from your house.

- My men will take care of it.
- Come on!

Sergeant!

Zorro!

Sergeant, look behind you.

Garcia, get him!

- No, not that way. Outside!
- But Zorro...

Outside!

Sergeant Garcia rallied his men quickly.
He's improving.

There was no cannon.

No doubt the Eagle intends
putting it there.

The mounting is there.
The cannonballs, dozens of muskets.

But no cannon.

That's just it.
Where does one hide a cannon?

Just a moment.

Señor Greco mentioned a cart
with a broken wheel.

Not to me.
But the cannon could be on the cart.

Where would a cart be? On the road?

No, no, no, we would have seen it.

Besides, a cart with a broken wheel
attracts attention.

Except where you would expect to find
a cart with a broken wheel.

A blacksmith's shop.

There's one on the edge of town,
away from prying eyes.

And I would not be surprised

if the blacksmith did not carry
an eagle's feather.

Come, Bernardo.

Señor Blacksmith.

My horse has thrown a shoe.
Can you help me?

Zorro!

Hurry.

The blacksmith will waste no time
in getting to the Eagle.

We can use the cannon
to defend the cuartel.

You're right. I should have waited
for the blacksmith to repair the wheel.

We'll blow up the cannon
with its own gunpowder.

It must never be used.

Raise the cart.

Higher.

All right. Pack it down.

Run, Bernardo, run!

The cannon!

Señor Varga, look!

Zorro was caught in the explosion.

I consider this value received.

- Would you not, if you were I?
- I don't understand.

We seem to have traded a cannon
for the life of Zorro.

Whoever he was. A very fair exchange.

Most fair, administrado.

Are you gonna get me
out of here or not?

Over here.

Over here!

This is the closest we've come to death,
and we did it to ourselves.

There must be a moral here somewhere.

Did you think that I...?

Well, so does the Eagle.
We must see he learns differently.

We wouldn't want him
to be too happy, would we?

Next week, the Eagle strikes.

His victory is proclaimed.

I yield! I yield! Don't kill me!

Next week, be sure
to take the thrills that will be yours

when you join in the adventures of Zorro.
