Original subtitles

Buenas noches, Don Estevan.

I just learned of your impending marriage.

Really?

And you have come to wish me well?

I have come to wish you

a pleasant journey back to Spain.

Spain?

I, uh, believe Señorita Cotazar plans an extended honeymoon,

but, uh, I had envisioned something like Santa Barbara

or perhaps Monterey.

No, I think you should go back to Spain alone.

And leave the señorita behind me?

Both the señorita and her money.

I am gratified that you're so concerned, Señor Zorro.

I am.

Did you send Bernardo on an errand? I can't find him.

No. Estevan is paying his respects to Señorita Cotazar.

He took Bernardo with him.

Ah, that explains why, uh, my guitar is also missing.

Estevan has a fine voice, Margarita likes music.

Oh, Father, can't you see what's happening?

Yes. He's still trying to marry you off to Margarita.

Let him try. It'll keep him occupied.

That may have been his intention a week ago,

but, uh, now I think he has another idea.

Oh?

I think he intends to marry her himself.

I might have known. He is after her money.

Forgive me, Father, but you always seem to suspect

the worst of Uncle Estevan.

Estevan has come to California to get a fortune.

He makes no pretence of that.

Agreed.

And he has not tried one single scheme in the last two weeks.

He spends all of his time with Margarita.

Who has a considerable fortune, yes.

And I am certain your mother's brother

is well aware of that fact.

You know, Father,

we may be doing Uncle Estevan an injustice.

However, I think I'll ride out

to the Cotazar hacienda

just to make sure that the romance is progressing.

Sí.

Bravo, bravo.

Ha-ha, Diego, my boy. You've come just in time.

Here, play.

Margarita?

Ha-ha.

To the loveliest dancing partner a caballero ever had.

Gracias, Estevan.

In Madrid your grace would

be the envy of every señorita at court.

And they would hate you for it.

Here it is.

I, uh... I thought for a while I had lost it.

Oh, Father.

Well, you must admit, Margarita,

it has been in my keeping

for a considerable length of time.

Diego. Buenas tardes.

Buenas tardes, Don Marcos.

You've seen this, haven't you?

I don't know. The Cotazar necklace.

The traditional wedding present for the first-born.

Which, as you know, is Margarita.

I remember now.

Why, this is the most beautiful necklace I have ever seen.

Ha-ha, but you do not need it.

She won't need half the gifts she gets when she is married.

Oh? For generations,

the Cotazar women have been notorious

for the loot they have collected.

We must have a trunk full of those upstairs.

And Margarita gets it all?

That and all the land she can ride across in one single day.

Well.

I hope you have a fast horse.

You are very thoughtful, Estevan.

Uncle Estevan is always thinking,

but when you do decide to get married,

I'll lend you my horse.

He'll cut the size of your father's land

down to that of a garden.

Then you had better get him ready.

Oh? Estevan has asked me

to marry him.

Oh?

And she did me the great honor of accepting me.

Well, Diego,

what are you going to say?

What can I say?

Except to wish you the best of everything. Both of you.

She'll be quite an addition to the family, eh, Diego?

Quite. And when will the wedding be?

Soon as possible.

Uh, after a respectable passage of time.

Oh, of course.

You will stay for supper, Diego?

Gracias.

Send your mozo for Alejandro.

We might as well have the whole family in on this.

Uh, yes, I think my father will be very interested.

Oh, Estevan.

You said you would give me your opinion of my wine cellar.

Uh, if you can bear the separation.

Certainly, Don Marcos.

Oh, I'll leave Margarita with you, Diego.

And don't you let him tell you any bad things about me.

As if he could.

If you'll excuse me,

I'll send Bernardo to get my father.

Yes, of course, Diego.

Uncle Estevan has really done it this time, huh?

Why didn't you stop him?

I suppose you're right.

The only way you could stop him would be to hit him on the head.

And it may come to that.

Go home and tell my father what's happened.

Calm him down before you bring him here.

Margarita. Sí.

We know one another well enough

so that we don't always have to mind our own business, huh?

Oh, of course we do, Diego.

Well, this marriage,

is it what you really want?

More than anything in the world.

No, I mean, this particular marriage.

Yes, I know.

I do not consider this as my last chance.

I didn't mean that.

I know you didn't.

And it is very sweet of you to worry, Diego,

but I would not.

Well, it's my privilege as a friend

and I reserve it.

You know, we will not be friends any longer after we are married.

We will be relatives.

Yes, uh, you'll be my aunt.

Yes.

Yes.

Now what are you doing?

Ah, wildflowers.

Sí. Lupines.

They're very pretty, aren't they?

If Bernardo starts back to the Cotazar hacienda now,

Margarita can have these before she retires for the evening.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Oh, not at all. Bernardo's a good rider. I've seen him.

You know what I'm talking about, Estevan.

And we might as well discuss it here and now.

Discuss what?

This so-called courtship and marriage of yours.

My father and I, we're very concerned with that.

Oh, well, I'm very pleased to hear that.

You are?

Yes. I didn't know how to approach the subject myself,

but, uh, since you've opened it up, Alejandro,

I will need a little money.

What?

Ah, Margarita's a wonderful girl.

She deserves more than wildflowers.

I thought a few presents now and then, little trinkets.

You know, jewelry and that.

Now, you listen to me.

You do not love Margarita.

You are only out after her money.

Oh, Alejandro. How can you say such a thing?

How can I?

Please, calm yourself.

That is good advice. You're a sensible lad, Diego.

All right, will you listen to me, then?

Bernardo, take these to...

Oh, uh, tell him to take these to Margarita.

I don't think he's going to listen.

Oh, certainly he will.

I can't get through to him,

but I notice that you never have any trouble.

All right, but you're not married yet, Estevan.

Zorro has something to say about this.

Zorro? ALEJANDRO: Yes.

To Zorro, a thief is a thief,

whether he's stealing funds from the church poor box

or trying to marry some unsuspecting girl for her money.

And Zorro always rides against a thief.

I do not like the word "thief," Alejandro,

but for some strange reason, you seem to be a little upset.

Upset? Huh?

So I forgive you.

But I hope you're right.

I hope your Zorro does try to interfere.

He's been a thorn in my side ever since I came to California.

Ho-ho, I am just waiting for a chance to meet him again.

Bernardo, do you think I should marry Margarita?

There, you see?

And you must admit he's an impartial observer.

Buenas noches, Don Estevan.

I have just learned of your impending marriage.

Really?

And you have come to wish me well?

I've come to wish you

a pleasant journey back to Spain.

Spain?

I, uh, believe Señorita Cotazar plans an extended honeymoon,

but, uh, I had envisioned something like Santa Barbara

or perhaps Monterey.

No, I think you should go back to Spain alone.

And leave the señorita behind me?

Precisely.

Both the señorita and her money.

I am gratified that you're so concerned, Señor Zorro.

I am.

Now, shall we see which one of us leaves California?

Hey!

May I help you, señor?

Hyah!

Don Estevan.

Don Estevan. Are you all right?

What is it, Manuel? What's wrong?

I don't know, Don Alejandro.

There are noises.

Estevan!

There'll be more than noises, señor,

if you continue to court Señorita Cotazar.

Estevan. Estevan, what is happening?

Estevan.

Bernardo.

More flowers?

Cupid's little helper, eh?

He is not going to give up, is he?

Well, neither are we.

He doesn't love Margarita

and he's not going to get her money.

Take the flowers up to Uncle Estevan

and, uh, when he leaves, let me know.

I, uh, think I'll ride part of the way with him.

You again, Señor Zorro.

Apparently you did not heed my warning, señor.

That was a mistake.

I left the hacienda unarmed this morning.

That was my mistake.

It will not happen again, but since it has...

Hyah!

Hyah!

The road to Margarita's hacienda will continue to be wet, señor.

I must advise that you do not try it again.

No. You did exactly right in coming to me, Don Estevan.

After all, I am the acting comandante.

There was no other place for me to go, sergeant.

I was too far from the hacienda,

and I certainly didn't want Señorita Cotazar

to see me like this.

Bless you. Gracias.

Well, the next time you wish to visit Señorita Cotazar,

let me know and I will give you an escort of soldiers.

Oh, gracias, sergeant.

Nothing lends more flavor to a romance

than a military escort.

Sí. There is something about a soldier...

I see what you mean, Don Estevan.

Besides, sergeant, I don't want protection.

I want Zorro right here.

I understand. I too want Zorro right...

there in my jail.

There must be something we can do. Think.

Not you, stupid. Just iron.

There must be some way we can get Zorro.

Some trap we can set.

He is certain to appear the next time you are with the señorita.

Sí, but I do not want to involve her in this.

No, it is too dangerous.

I wonder...

Sergeant.

And Don Estevan is an excellent swordsman.

You all know that.

You all know he is a man of great courage,

afraid of nothing or no one.

Tonight he is taking the señorita

to see the lake by moonlight.

And he defies Zorro to try and stop him.

Oh, excuse me, my friends.

Buenas noches, Don Diego.

Good evening, sergeant. Little one.

Don Diego, I was just about to go into the tavern.

Were you perhaps about to go into the tavern also? Perhaps?

No, sergeant, we're on our way back to the hacienda.

We only stopped because Bernardo thought his saddle was loose

and he wanted to check it. Oh.

Well, everything seems to be all right,

so I say good night, sergeant.

Buenas noches.

Psst! Sergeant.

Come on.

Sergeant, you will have to help me.

I'm having a little trouble with the señorita.

Oh. Oh, of course, Don Estevan.

Now, what is this?

I don't care what you say, sergeant.

I'm not going to shave off my mustache.

We let you keep your mustache, corporal, what is it now?

Don Estevan, this is too tight. I... I can't breathe.

You are not trying.

Can't we stop and loosen something?

We haven't got time.

Sergeant Garcia will be waiting for us at the lake.

Ah, señorita, we are alone.

Buenas noches, señorita.

You again, Señor Zorro?

You and I have something to settle.

Ah, but the situation is different now.

This time I have my sword with me.

Good.

If you are a true caballero,

you will help the señorita down from the carriage.

Then you and I could settle this once and for all.

Splendid. Señorita?

Grab him, corporal!

Easy, boys. Easy.

A very clever trap, señor. You're to be congratulated.

All right. Who wants to be first?

Sergeant Garcia.

Me?

Sergeant.

Sergeant Garcia.

Oh, there are more? Very well, I'll wait.

Sergeant Garcia!

Sergeant Garcia!

Help!

Help!

He... Help.

Come, come, señores. I cannot wait all evening.

Hyah... Hey!

Hey!

Sergeant Garcia. Sergeant Garcia!

Help!

Ah!

Help!

Sergeant Garcia, what's the mat...?

You seem to be deserted, señor.

Hey!

Sergeant. No.

Sí.

Señor, if you plan to continue the pursuit

of Señorita Cotazar's money,

I suggest that you learn to swim.
