Original subtitles

They're all ready now, Don Diego.

Uh, sergeant, permit me a suggestion.

Sí.

Don't you think Bernardo

would be a little less conspicuous

if he were not so well-guarded?

Corporal. Lugo.

No, no. Not you, little one, not you.

You stay here.

Stand.

What is it you want me to do, sergeant?

Pick out the man who shot you

and who robbed the señorita,

if you can.

Certainly, sergeant.

This is the bandido.

Pull up, señor!

Help me, somebody. Help me.

Help me!

Señorita, what happened?

That man, he tried to kill me and rob me.

I can understand your disappointment

in your servant, Señor de la Vega,

but there's nothing more I can tell you.

Apparently the bullet struck my head.

Next thing I knew I was being carried away.

I fought to free myself

and then Sergeant Garcia came along.

Señorita,

I understand that my servant, Bernardo,

found you lying there and was trying to help you.

Naturally, he would say that.

You say you were robbed?

I was.

Well, just exactly what was taken?

One thousand pesos in gold and...

It was money that belonged to the mission, Don Diego.

Sergeant,

may I see the money?

We told you, Don Diego, it was stolen.

Your servant took it.

Señorita, how long were you unconscious?

I don't know.

It seemed only a moment.

But it was long enough

for someone to kill your servant,

hide the body, unhitch the horses,

overturn the carriage and take the gold.

It must have been.

And then after the bandido left,

Bernardo came along, found you lying there,

was trying to help you.

Oh, sergeant.

It is possible we've made a terrible mistake.

We have?

Good.

I mean, then the little one did not do it.

Sergeant,

you must release that poor man at once.

Come in.

Is this the señorita who was robbed?

Everything's been cleared up, Father.

Señorita Villagrana

now realizes that Bernardo was only trying to help her.

Does that mean that Bernardo is free?

He is free, Don Alejandro.

Enter!

Well, Corporal Reyes, don't stand there,

scaring the little one half to death, get out.

You too, Lugo. Out. Out!

Oh, no, not you, little one, not you.

You do not have to go with the soldiers. You are...

You are free.

Sí, little one, sí.

You are free.

How do I tell him I'm sorry?

Just smile to show him you aren't angry with him anymore.

That's my brooch.

Are you sure, señorita?

Well, see for yourself.

There's still a piece of my dress on it.

N... Now just a moment.

I'm sure he can explain this.

Sergeant, evidently our mistake was in thinking he was innocent.

I demand you arrest him for robbery and murder.

I hope this does some good, Don Diego.

I don't want to see the little one hang.

He's not going to hang, sergeant.

He didn't do anything.

I know it and you know it,

but all the proof we have is against him.

Well, where's the servant?

And what happened to the gold?

I don't know, Don Diego.

That is why we are here.

Well, little one, go ahead.

Show us exactly what you did.

I want you to...

Please, Don Diego, you tell him.

Bernardo knows what you want him to do,

he's just waiting for the word to begin.

That must be where he found the brooch.

Go on, then what happened?

That's when he found the señorita.

Well, there's your fight, sergeant.

That's what made the señorita think he was trying to kill her.

And then in you came.

Sí, Don Diego, but he still has not explained

who killed the señorita's servant and who took the gold.

Well, he can't explain it, because he doesn't know.

Someone else did it.

Someone else who, Don Diego?

I don't...

I met the corporal on the road.

He told me you were out here.

Has something happened?

Uh, sergeant...

In a moment, corporal.

I talked to the doctor.

After thinking it over, he is not at all certain

that Señorita Villagrana was shot.

But she was, Don Alejandro.

I saw it. Right here.

He says the wound was made

by a blow on the head from behind.

Well, sergeant, there are your answers.

Now we know what happened.

We do?

If two people are riding in a carriage

and one of them is struck on the head,

isn't it logical to assume that the other did the striking?

Of course, Don Diego.

Then the little one couldn't have done it.

Of course not.

He was standing in the road with a pistol.

He was not.

Bernardo had nothing to do with it.

The señorita's servant, Montez, struck her.

The man with the hood was an accomplice.

That would explain how he knew about the 1,000 pesos.

It was supposed to be a secret, remember?

Sergeant.

Quiet, corporal.

Perhaps that is the reason we could not find his body.

Of course it is.

The men took the gold and ran away.

They're probably a hundred miles from here by now.

Sergeant...

All right, corporal. What is it?

The señorita's servant.

What about him?

He's in your office now. He's been wounded.

Why didn't you say so?

Don Diego,

if the servant did not run away,

then he must be innocent.

And if he is innocent, then the little one...

he must be guilty.

I'm sorry, señores,

but a broken arm can be quite painful.

We understand, Montez.

Please go on with your story.

I'm sorry, but that's all there is.

Well, would you mind telling it again?

Again?

Sí, por favor.

I find it very interesting. Uh, don't you, sergeant?

Sí, Don Diego, but every time he tells it,

the little one gets in more trouble.

Well, I was driving along with Señorita Villagrana

when the bandido stepped out and shot me.

Breaking your arm.

Sí, señor, breaking my arm.

The horses ran off the road

and the señorita struck her head against the carriage.

That explains the wound

on the señorita's head, Don Diego.

Yes, sergeant.

I would say that explains the wound quite well.

The carriage rolled over,

uh, you dragged the señorita out

despite your broken arm.

Sí, señor.

I couldn't fight back,

so when the bandido came after us,

I ran away to get help.

And you just, uh, happened to meet Señor Lopez,

who just happens to live in San Rafael,

where the señorita just happens to live.

Sí, señor.

He was going to Los Angeles on business.

He bandaged my arm for me

and then we returned to the carriage,

but the señorita was gone.

I had already taken her to Los Angeles.

But I didn't know that, sergeant,

so Señor Lopez and I spent some time

searching the hills for the señorita.

Then he brought me to Los Angeles.

He's waiting in the tavern for you

in case you want to talk to him.

One thing more, Montez.

Tell me.

Where did you hide the money?

I didn't hide it. The bandido took it.

Sergeant, please, my arm.

I am sorry, Montez.

I must get to the bottom of this.

Sergeant, I think it would be a good idea

if you would ask the Good Samaritan Lopez

to also remain in Los Angeles.

I cannot remain in Los Angeles.

The señorita must return home.

And Señor Lopez plans to go back to San Rafael immediately.

Then he will just have to change his plans.

No one will be allowed to leave Los Angeles

as long as Bernardo is under suspicion.

Gracias, sergeant.

If only the señorita had seen the bandido's face.

Then we could prove once and for all

that the little one is innocent.

I saw the bandido's face, sergeant.

You did?

Just a moment, Montez.

I thought you said he wore a hood.

He did.

He took it off when he came after us.

I saw him then.

Was he a little man with a bald head?

Sí, sergeant. He was.

Well, come out to the jail and identify him

and then you can go back to San Rafael.

Just a moment, sergeant.

I am sorry, Don Diego,

but Montez must be allowed to identify Bernardo.

Well, he'll get his chance,

but I'm sure there must be

other short, bald-headed men in Los Angeles.

Now, you stand Bernardo

in a line with five or six of them.

Then let Montez pick him out if he can.

Everything ready?

Sí, Don Diego.

Montez is in the pantry where he cannot see anyone.

I have Bernardo just outside.

Well, sergeant, since I only found Montez on the road

and never saw the bandido,

I can't be of much help.

So I will get out of your way.

Of course, Señor Lopez.

I will go and get the little one now.

Señores. Señor.

I want to thank you for coming here

and cooperating with Sergeant Garcia and myself.

Oh. Sí. Sí.

All we want you to do is to stand in a row.

That's fine.

Now, I must ask you not to react in any way.

Just stand quietly and look straight ahead.

Sí, señor.

Where do you want him to stand, Don Diego?

You pick a spot, sergeant.

Would you two señores

mind stepping apart a little, por favor?

We are all ready now, Don Diego.

Sergeant, permit me a suggestion.

Sí.

Well, don't you think

Bernardo would be a little less conspicuous

if he were not so well-guarded?

Sí.

Corporal. Lugo.

No, no. Not you, little one. Not you.

You stay here.

Here. Stand.

Here.

Bring in Montez.

Bring in Montez.

What is it you want me to do, sergeant?

Pick out the man who shot you

and who robbed the señorita,

if you can.

Certainly, sergeant.

This is the bandido.

Take the little one back to his cell, corporal.

Montez, I wish to leave for San Rafael in the morning.

Have you arranged for the carriage as I told you?

Sí, señorita.

If you'll excuse me, señores?

Well, don't give up, sergeant.

There's still the problem

of what happened to the 1,000 pesos.

You didn't find them on Bernardo, you know.

Sí, Don Diego,

but in the face of all the other evidence,

somehow I do not think it will matter to Judge Vasca.

Judge Vasca?

Is he going to preside at the trial?

Sí, Don Alejandro.

He arrives tomorrow

and you know he always hangs bandidos.

Well, sergeant, tomorrow is a long way off.

Sí, Don Diego.

No, it isn't.

It's just tomorrow.

Buenas tardes, sergeant.

Why did you not let me speak, Diego?

You saw what happened in there.

That Lopez, or whatever his name is,

signaled to the servant

that Bernardo was the fourth man in line.

Well, no one else saw it and we couldn't prove it.

Bernardo will hang unless someone proves something.

Don't worry, Father. Someone will prove something.

I don't like it.

Why should we have to go back to San Rafael?

We have the money.

It would arouse suspicion if we didn't.

After they hang the deaf mute,

we can go anywhere we like.

When do I get my share?

There's no danger of my being searched now.

I have it here.

Well, corporal,

we might as well go back to the cuartel.

We can't help the little one sitting here.

Sí, sergeant.

What's the matter, sergeant?

Nothing, corporal.

What's the matter, corporal?

Nothing, sergeant, uh...

I didn't see a thing.

I just thought I did.

You too, huh?

Sí, sergeant.

Zorro!

If you wish to help me prove

that Don Diego's servant is innocent, señorita,

you will remain silent.

You too, sergeant.

Here are your bandidos. Both of them.

Both of them? I thought there was only one...

Be quiet, sergeant.

And now, señor,

you will tell me the true story of the robbery.

I don't know what you're talking about, Señor Zorro.

I am talking about this.

The money.

I can explain that.

All right. Explain it.

Zorro, look out! He has a knife!

Thanks for the warning, sergeant.

Did you ever see a broken arm heal more quickly?

He's all yours, sergeant.

Gracias, I have him.

If he does not wish to confess...

Oh, he will, Señor Zorro.

I'll confess.

I confess.

And he did confess, Don Diego.

He and Señor Lopez planned the whole robbery.

Sergeant, that was excellent work.

Oh, it was nothing.

Just a little...

A little help from Zorro?

Sí, a... A little.

I'm so sorry for causing your servant so much trouble,

Señor de la Vega.

I want to show him how sorry I am.

Oh, that's not necessary, señorita.

I know, but here.

You admired this so much,

I want you to have it.

Next week,

two high-spirited peons,

whose love for each other starts a chain reaction

of explosive events.

Run, Buena, run.

Two young lovers, forced to become fugitives

from their own people.

Drop the knife, señor,

if you wish to live.

You'll thrill to the breathtaking action

of this unusual story.
