Sergeant Garcia and the lancers just rode away.

Everything is moving according to plan.

The muskets are loaded and ready, Senor Varga.

Hombres, in a line.

How many men does he have?

(SWISHING)

No, Bernardo, the fate of California is at stake.

This is a job for my father and all of his men. I must tell him.

"and would therefore pledge our lives,

"our honor and all that we own

"to the defense of our country and our king.

"We will toil, fight and die if need be..."

Father, I must speak with you. It's urgent.

Please wait until I have finished reading this.

"to secure to ourselves and to our posterity

"the blessings and the kind of life that is befitting to..."

Listen, Father.

Those of you with pistols will stay with me.

The rest of you hold back until the cuartel gates are open.

Count Kolinko, where is your weapon?

Much as I would like to personally

participate, in my position...

Greco, see that the Count is informed

when the shooting has stopped.

Si, Senor Varga.

You should seek the safety of the tavern now.

Please understand. My government cannot get involved.

Until someone else has done the fighting for it.

Greco, open the door for the Count.

Ah, Senor de la Vega. Welcome to my humble home.

I told you the wolf, not the pup.

They were together, Senor.

All right. Put them in the cellar.

You men, why are you standing around? Take up your positions.

You. Guard the cellar door.

Imbeciles! One at a time.

If I'd had warning, I could have gathered my men.

We could have stopped all this.

This is what I was afraid would happen,

but I did not realize it would come so soon.

No doubt Varga's next move will be to attack the cuartel.

Sergeant Garcia will put up a good fight.

Father...

Sergeant Garcia and most of his men have left Los Angeles.

MAN: Who's there?

Senor Varga. Open the gates.

Guards! Guards!

(GUNSHOTS)

(GUNSHOTS CEASE)

It is all over, Diego.

A toast, my friend. Los Angeles is in our hands.

Next, all California.

(LAUGHS)

Senor Greco, Sergeant Garcia is coming.

Senor Varga! Senor, Sergeant Garcia is coming.

Are the men ready? Si, Senor.

Good.

Our men in the cuartel will not

open fire until you give the signal.

Not until the last man has entered the plaza.

We must be certain that we kill every man.

Where is everybody?

He's alone! Bring him in here.

Sergeant Garcia!

Sergeant Garcia, come here.

Senor Greco, what has happened? Where is everybody?

Come inside quickly.

What is wrong?

Senor Varga is inside. He'll tell you.

Now hurry, please. I'll take care of your horse.

Administrado, what has happened?

What are you doing? Let go of me.

Take your hands off me!

Now, then. Where are your men?

At the seashore.

Then you are alone?

Si.

Put him in the cellar.

Don Diego! Don Alejandro!

They got you too, huh? Si.

Where are your soldiers?

I told them to stay at the seashore.

And they will, until it is too late.

That's not good news.

No, Don Diego.

What worries me is, how will Zorro

know we are here in the cellar?

Zorro? Yes.

He is certain to come and help us.

He always does. But how can we

let him know we are down here?

Somehow, Sergeant, I think he already knows.

"This action will bring to California

"a new era of peace, prosperity and contentment.

"To further unity and ensure tranquility, I hereby proclaim amnesty

"for all persons who swear allegiance to me.

"By order of His Excellency, Jose Sebastian Varga,

"sovereign of all California."

Send the rabble back to their homes.

Shall we adjourn to my quarters, Count?

I believe we have some unfinished business to conclude.

This was not our agreement.

You promised to pay the money as soon as I controlled Los Angeles.

That is true,

but as long as Don Alejandro's 50-man army is on the loose,

you are not in control of Los Angeles.

Let them come. Let them all come.

I'll show you who has control.

All right. After they appear and you have disposed of them,

then I will order that the money be delivered to you.

We'll bring this matter to conclusion right now.

I know how to get de la Vega's army out of the way.

Senor de la Vega.

I have come to make a proposition.

You have in your possession a list of 50 names.

It pleases you to call them an army. I want that list.

You have good reason to be afraid of those men, Senor Varga.

I fear no one!

Then why do you want the list?

I do not have time to indulge you, Senor.

Your list has a certain nuisance value.

Therefore, I will make a bargain with you.

Give me those names, and I will give you your life.

Do you honestly believe that I would

consider sending 50 men to their deaths

just in order that I might live?

This is no time for heroics, Senor.

Those names, for your life.

Senor Varga.

Will you make me the same proposition?

What? I know where the list is.

I will get it for you if you let me go free.

Well, Senor, what is your answer?

If I get you the list of my father's men, will you let me go?

What are you saying, Diego?

Don Diego!

I'm sorry, but I can no longer stay in this place.

Are you so afraid of death, my son?

Don Diego, you cannot betray those men!

I'm sorry.

Save your breath, Sergeant.

Come.

All right, Don Diego, where is the list?

Untie my hands. I will get it...

Never mind your hands!

Do you want the list or do you not?

Now, then, the list.

No tricks, I warn you.

There it is.

I don't understand it. Why aren't they back here?

It's not that far to de la Vega's hacienda.

Something has gone wrong.

Don't say that again!

The only thing wrong is your refusal to live up to our agreement.

I do not care to debate that point any further.

You do not yet control Los Angeles,

and I'm beginning to doubt you will.

Impertinence! Incompetence! Treachery!

That's all I have around me.

That and rank stupidity. Alberto.

Take two of our men from the plaza.

Ride to de la Vega's hacienda and see why Greco is not back yet.

And you return immediately. That is an order.

(CROWD CHATTERING)

It's Senor Greco. Something seems to be the matter with him.

Don Diego got away. I was reaching in the fireplace...

Where is the list of names?

We didn't get it.

You didn't get it? No.

Did you see it at all?

I'm not sure.

It was there, but Don Diego must have taken it.

I want some water. Please. Get me some water.

It's just as I thought, Senor Varga.

You control nothing, except a few

empty buildings, a few empty streets.

And for this, you expect me to pay you 13 million pesos.

You will pay.

I am giving you official notice,

Senor Varga. Our agreement is ended.

No agreement is cancelled until I say it is. I give the orders!

Not this one, Senor Varga. I want no part of this.

My country cannot afford to be involved.

Go. Gather all the men. We'll hunt down

de la Vega and shoot him down on sight.

Now tell me exactly. What happened?

Sergeant Garcia! Don Alejandro!

Zorro!

Zorro! It is Zorro! It is...

(CRASHING)

The prisoners! They're out of the cellar!

Senor, they're out of the cellar!

Surround the house and get them.

(FIRES RIFLE)

Tip this over.

Come on, Don Alejandro. This way out.

(GARCIA YELLS)

(GUNSHOT)

GARCIA: Quick. Barricade the door.

Are there any more? Oh, what is the use? He cannot hear.

Good. They're loaded. Is there any powder?

Oh, anyhow, I have a full supply.

No more muskets and no gunpowder in there.

But we can hold them off for some time with these.

That is a good idea. Give him your gunpowder,

and he can load each musket as we fire.

Get in there! Arrest them. I don't

want those men to get away. Hurry up.

Excelente!

He made it. At that angle, they can't hit him.

Zorro!

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

We are near the end of our gunpowder.

Do not shoot until you are sure you cannot miss.

Si. We will wait until they are very close.

They'll think we are out of powder.

Then when we shoot, they won't know what to think.

They're not shooting from the house now. Rush the front door.

They're out of ammunition. They can't hurt you!

They weren't out of ammunition. I could have been shot.

(GUNSHOT)

(GUNSHOTS)

Don Alfredo?

Administrado! Senor Varga, wait for me.

It is Greco, Senor Varga!

What is it? What's going on? Let us out of here!

Zorro, get him! Get him!

Cut him down! Cut him down!

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

Senor Zorro, let us out of here, please!

We want to join the fight.

The key, the key! In there behind the door.

I begged you to wait for me, Senor.

Never in my whole life was I quite so happy to see anybody.

But how did you know? How did you

happen to come at just that time?

How did we happen to come?

Why, Diego came to get us. Told us you needed us.

Diego. That is why he left me in the cellar.

So he could ride for help!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Ah, my son! My son, I am proud of you.

Are you all right?

Diego, they had us outnumbered a dozen to one.

The three of us in the house and Zorro out here somewhere.

Oh, Diego, you should have been here.

I wish you could have seen it.

It must have been very exciting.

And Sergeant Garcia, blocking the doorway,

holding back all those men.

And Bernardo, ho-ho! He was magnificent.

Oh, I wish you could have seen it, Diego.

You have already said that, Father.

I am sorry, my son. What you did was important too.

Running to get help.

Sometimes that is more important

than staying behind and fighting.

GARCIA: Present arms!

(TRUMPET PLAYS FANFARE)

It is a good sight, my son. Our flag flying again.
