Original subtitles

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, our hero must rise with courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man.

He's the one who strikes back for the poor and oppressed, a hero.

And find them!

I am truly at a

loss, senor.

The odds were even when there were five of you. On your guard, prisoner.

Prisoner?

You have a poor grasp of reality, senor.

Go on.

Finish me.

It was finished five minutes ago, amigo.

Leave. Now.

You haven't heard a laugh from me, senor.

Enough. On your way.

Any luck?

Tomorrow. We'll get him tomorrow.

An original romantic.

Diego. Diego!

Where have you been? I have a task for you. Come on.

Uh, I don't think we need this in the house, all right?

Excuse me.

By the way, have you ever hung a painting?

My husband.

I know.

We've met.

Don't be frightened.

What are you doing here?

He's in the house.

I'll call him if you must do so.

I could have killed him.

You saw my signature.

I'm not a man who takes a life so recklessly in spite of what you may have

told. Oh, I know.

The bounty on your head now stands at 6 ,000 pesos.

That is why your husband hunts me down.

Alcalde's taxes have made us poor.

Alessio knows you're not some common bandit. Six thousand pesos would change

lives.

And end mine.

Alcalde's gallows.

Poverty can turn the most honorable man.

Tried to purge the wound, but the bite went too deep.

You're soaking wet.

Oh, you're burning up.

Oh, you must rest.

Any stressful activity will rush the venom through your body.

Here, take that wet shirt off. You'll catch a chill.

Here.

Wrap this around you. You need to keep it warm.

You'll be safe here. Gracias.

I'll prepare something for your wound when I can.

Thanks to you and your signature, I have some mending to do and I'm a very bad

seamstress.

I'm just saying it's not like he usually tells me where he's going. Oh, he's a

grown man, Don Alejandro.

I know that, Victoria. I guess he's out there doing what young men are supposed

to do. There we are.

Wonderful. I've been waiting for this painting for six months.

What a coincidence.

Do you know something? I just got a painting myself.

Of course, it's an original.

It's an original. It's very pretty.

So? What is your opinion?

You'll feel stiff for a while.

And I know the smell isn't pleasant.

But you'll thank me in time.

I thank you now.

You're very kind, Magdalena.

You know who I am?

Your husband called you earlier.

It's a lovely name.

I once knew another lady named Magdalena.

She had the most beautiful blue eyes.

El Zorro.

Alessio! Silence, woman!

Senor.

The dutiful wife and the trusting husband are working across purposes.

Alessio, no!

No more words!

Only action.

You have me at a disadvantage, senor.

I was counting on it.

Get up and fight.

As you wish.

My best arm.

But it will have to do.

Signor Zorro!

Prepare to die.

Is there any way to speak to a house cat?

Under normal circumstances, I would prolong this encounter.

However, today, I'm feeling a little... under the weather.

I knew you were bluffing.

But it was kind of you to save his shirt.

Mendoza. Not that it makes a great deal of difference, but what is your opinion?

I know that painting.

It is an original.

Why, Mendoza, it is.

There may be hope for you yet.

Come, come.

Sergeant. Who is this man? This is Alessio Melcalde.

My alcalde, it is an honor. You don't have to bow.

Mendoza, don't interrupt.

My name is Elysium Turon, and I have news of the outlaw, Zorro.

Old friend, you found me.

I should take my leave.

I've caused you enough trouble.

Please don't go. I mean, your arm, you really shouldn't.

Thank you, Magdalena.

Yours is a busy house.

What?

A husband arrives, we get more guests. No, you must go.

Don't worry, they won't hurt him.

Where is he?

He was in the barn.

Should we storm it?

No, that's what he would expect.

I know.

Well, burn it down. That'll force him out. But wait, wait. You can't do this.

Silence will be compensated. No, please.

Shut up.

Alcalde, wouldn't it be better if... Just do it.

Give me the table.

Hey, he's in there!

Mendoza!

It is a tragedy, Mendota.

A tragedy which was not in vain.

This time we have won.

Tell me, Alcalde, what have you won?

Short as high as your ambition.

The bridge!

I'm such a fool, senor.

My creed killed her.

You have learned this. You have learned a great deal.

I hope you will put your knowledge to good use.

Senor, I owe you a great debt.

Do not play the Alcalde's games in future, senor.

You may lose more than a barn next time.

I owe my life to you, Magdalena.

You returned the favor very quickly.

You have a brave and loyal wife, amigo.

So it burned right to the ground.

Well, I did everything I could to put out the fire, but it was just no use.

And Zorro started the blaze.

Not exactly.

Those poor people.

Diego, if you weren't out gallivanting, you'd know the latest news.

No, I'm serious. First of all, the Alcalde compensated the Turons, my

and I sold to them, of course.

Secondly, the new barn is going up in one week.

And that was a most generous gift from you and Señorita Escalante. What gift

that? Victoria and I had a couple of original paintings by La Monica that we

longer light. And when the alcalde discovered that we had them, he just

them up for his private collection, sight unseen.

The alcalde will be very excited.

Victoria and I, we gave the money to Alicia and Magdalene.

Oh,

sounds like trouble.

Adios.

So, is what I hear true, Don Diego?

Is what true?

Well, some say that you were involved in a burning romance.

Well, if you must know, there was a woman.
