When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts, and muskets are ready to fire.

When tyrants ride high and govern with fear, as the forces of evil

conspire. Then from out of the night, a hero must rise, with courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to... The man comes to...

Careful, men. Must be slippery around here.

Or else Sorrow would never have fallen to his death.

Climb out of here.

It's impossible.

My head spins.

Yes.

Hiding would be a good idea.

I'm sorry, I can barely move.

Felipe, listen to me.

Your loyalty has given me the courage to face death.

Magic turn around now look the other way

Don't be scared. Look.

A secret passageway. And over here is a viewing hole.

Inside there is a room that leads to a tunnel that goes into the hill behind

hacienda.

When the hacienda was first built, there was a constant threat of Indian attack.

A secret system of passageways would guarantee an avenue of escape.

Gino. The Alcalde's taken more prisoners.

Oh, Felipe.

Our secret.

Pedro Garcia, three months behind on his property taxes.

Do you have any property? No.

Three months is three months. That's hardly enough.

Oh, Carl, forgive me for saying, but don't you think you're being a little

high? Careful, Sergeant, or you will soon join when you're not here.

Fernando Reyes!

What do you think you are doing?

Reporting the loss, Senorita. Please, step aside.

You are not a magistrate. You have no right to do this. This is a summary

tribunal called to enforce the territorial law against rebellious

Under the emergency provisions of this law, I not only have the right, but the

duty.

Proceed, Sergeant.

Fernando Reyes!

Overheard uttering seditious statements.

What were those statements?

Oh, it was very minor, Alcalde. Nothing to be upset about. What were they?

The alcalde is a snake.

Nothing more than the scum of the earth.

Six months, hardly.

Make that a year.

Fatima! Alcalde!

What is that rebel and his obnoxious son?

Ah, Don Alejandro, how good of you to come by.

I need a word with you.

Well, I'm quite busy, but I can always make time for such a distinguished

of our community.

A better part of my life has been spent in this territory, building this pueblo.

I have many friends.

Are you running for public office, senor?

If you go on like this, the caballeros can't guarantee the safety of you or

men. You must know that many of our people favor revolution against your

You don't say.

You can't bend all these people to your will.

Oh, I have no intention of bending these people.

I'm going to break them if they continue to resist me.

I'm warning you, Alcaldi.

Is there a threat, Signor?

It doesn't have to be.

They'll take things into their own hands.

If there's any more rebellious activity, I'll suppress it immediately.

You can't put everyone in jail.

No, but I can put your father behind bars.

And if there's any more trouble, I will.

Happily.

Corporal Gomez just came from the tavern. You better get over there at

He calls it the law.

I call it oppression.

He calls it justice.

I call it tyranny.

This is our land, our pueblo.

And when the government... no longer serves the people, then perhaps it is

for the people to do more than just speak out. Perhaps it is time for the

people, for the people to take action.

What do we have here, huh?

A meeting of rebellious traitors?

We only want you to listen to reason.

The law should serve the people, not oppress them.

You are under arrest.

Come with me. Come with me. Take your hands off her.

Stay out of this, old man.

You are under arrest.

You come with me. This establishment is under military rule. Mendoza, you are in

charge.

Me?

I'm going to run the tavern?

I hope you don't think the Caballeros are going to sit still for this.

They will soon learn that I only want what is good for the Pueblo.

And just how will they learn that?

You will make a formal statement.

In this statement, you will recant all remarks and activities disloyal to my

administration.

Let me make one thing crystal clear.

My allegiance is to the crown of Spain, not to you.

It's amazing how little time in my jail can clarify one's thinking.

Take him away.

I demand the release of my father.

Do you now? Yes, I do.

Well, I can imagine how you feel, but try and see things from my point of

Don Diego.

Your father is a respected elder in the Pueblo. His word carries a great deal of

weight. You don't put a man in jail for that.

No, but I can put a man in jail for assault on a public official, for

interfering with the administration of justice, and for fomenting revolution.

If my father wanted to lead a revolution, you would have been thrown

pueblo a long time ago.

Then I don't think we have long to wait for him to declare his loyalty to my

office. Don't expect me to stand still for this.

I expect you to be a good son and not to get your father hurt.

If you want to fight, you'll get one.

Don Diego.

If I have any trouble with the Caballeros, I'll know you're behind it.

And there's always room in my jail for another De La Vega.

Come on, come on, man. Let me see some silver.

I can't run this place on my good looks and your back credit, you know.

Ah, this is truly the life I was made for.

Much safer than being a soldier.

All those horses, guns, bandidos.

A terrifying business.

I remember once when I was a young man serving under General Cordoba in the

Indian campaigns.

I was constantly terrified.

We were after a band of renegade Indians who had been ruthlessly terrorizing the

Arizona mission.

They would raid a village without warning.

And then they would vanish into the prairie.

It was like we were chasing phantoms.

They would be there one moment, and the next they'd be gone.

Surely trained soldiers weren't frightened by such tactics.

Oh, no, no, it wasn't the Indians we were afraid of. We were always prepared

fight them.

It was... It was not knowing.

And when they attacked at night... The dark frightens you, Sergeant?

Señor, at night, we couldn't even see their faces.

And it's the unknown that bothers you.

A soldier is not trained to deal with the unknown.

It is the unexplained, the mysterious, that creates fear.

And fear...

It's a soldier's greatest enemy.

Of course, I have nothing to fear now.

Except maybe the wine going bad.

What about the new alcalde? You don't fear him?

Oh, no.

Once things settle down, he will be a pussycat.

Then help me get my father and Senorita Escalante out of jail.

Don Diego, as soon as the threat of rebellion has ended, I'm sure the

will release them.

And until then, what am I supposed to do? Let them languish behind bars?

Oh, it's not so bad.

Garrison prisoners eat the same food as the soldiers.

Tonight they're serving chile verde.

Bueno?

I would rather eat garbage.

Be reasonable, senorita.

You do not answer my questions.

You do not accept my hospitality. What am I to do with you?

You can start by letting me go.

Your failure to cooperate can only mean that you support the traitors who would

undermine my authority.

Authority?

You have no authority.

I am the occult.

And that is all that you are.

The people are the people.

I know they speak against me in the tavern.

I want to know who. I want names.

Never. Never say never, señorita.

There are always ways to make you talk.

Felipe, this is no time for games.

There's something down here.

It's amazing, with everyone hunting them for such beautiful pelts, how those

creatures of the night manage to survive.

Yes, cunning and intelligence.

Felipe, you heard that.

Felipe, look at me.

You can hear, can't you?

Oh, that's wonderful.

Why didn't you let us know?

Because of my father.

Felipe, my father would never treat you differently if he knew that you could

hear.

He loves you.

We all do.

We'll talk of this later. Come on.

It's me, Felipe.

Oh, really?

I'm pleased to see it's so effective.

Ah, disguise will protect our friends from any governmental retribution.

I'll need something to conceal myself a bit more.

Perhaps a cape.

What's wrong, Felipe?

Without knowing it, you may have done us all a great service.

We'll keep the cave a secret, and your hearing.

This will be our secret, too.

Not even my father knows of this.

It was given to me by Sir Edmund Kendall, my fight master.

It's sharp.

Strong, too.

Yes, I know.

I must convince people that I am weak -willed, a bit too studious.

But like the fox that is timid and frail, so do I share his instinct for

survival.

Buenas noches.

Who are you?

What are you?

A creature of the night.

Like a fox.

El Zorro.

El Zorro?

Perhaps you'd like to leave.

How do we know you don't work for the Alcaldi?

Maybe he just wants an excuse to shoot it.

Then you'll have to shoot me first.

Speak to me what?

Oh, my God, it's a demon.

I am Zorro.

I do wish I could stay for such sport, but I really must be going.

I look forward to our next encounter, senor.

Careful, men. It was around here that Zorro fell.

They found us.

Go on.

Go. Hide.

Yes.

No. There's no time for fighting. Go.

Vintage senorita, it's time to celebrate.

What is the occasion?

Did you collect some new tux?

No. Zorro is dead.

That's impossible.

No one can kill Zorro.

He fell off the bluffs at Cayon Perdido.

My men are there right now retrieving the body.

Sergeant Mendoza, look!

It is Zorro.

He is dead.

You and I were so much alike, Zorro.

Men of incredible courage.

Tremendous skill.

If only the alcalde knew you like I did.

We were truly brothers of the heart.

Adios, amigo.

Ready?
