Original subtitles

When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts And muskets are ready to fire

Where tyrants ride high and govern with fear As the forces of evil

confider Then from out of the night, my hero must rise With courage that

even a mask won't disguise, they turn to the man called

Zorro.

Zorro! One who's larger than life and defender of all, he's this man who the

people acclaim.

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

Think of it.

You can search a very long time before finding prey as good as the Pueblo de

Los Angeles.

Its alcalde is corrupt.

Its people are ready to revolt.

It's time for the Falcon to apply his skills once again.

Yes, it is time.

Return to the lair.

Wait my instructions.

And what about Sandra?

He may become a problem.

Not if he's dead.

You think killing him will be that easy?

With the right trap, and the right bait to lure him into that trap, we can

easily eliminate Zorro.

And all of Los Angeles will be hard to plunder.

400 pesos, you say?

No problem.

You'll have your money this afternoon.

Fine, but you have had your last free meal in my tavern. I am only following

orders. These taxes are mandated by law.

Is there a problem here, Sergeant? Yes, there is indeed.

And it starts with you taking our money.

Do you think a town runs by itself?

Without taxes, Los Angeles would not be the crown jewel that it is.

And you would not wear such fine boots, Alcalde.

Yes.

And what about the new school that we need? Or that bridge to Santa Paula that

was washed out?

Careful,

De La Vega.

Treason can be much more costly than taxes.

I, for one, would like an accounting of government spending and disclosure.

What gives you the right to question my authority?

They are the people.

Alcalde, that gives them every right they need.

Citizens of Los Angeles, hear me.

You have been taxed enough.

Come, my people.

You deserve what is rightfully yours.

Come,

my people.

Come and take it.

It is your money.

Take it.

Come to take charge of your own destiny.

Sergeant. Gather the men.

Arrest him. What for? For inciting a riot. For lunacy.

Arrest that man!

You don't know the trouble you've brought upon yourself.

Your price is too great to rid the land of your oppression.

on people?

I want you to take a look at both these coins and tell me if you see any

difference between them.

Both of them bear His Majesty's image.

Right. No difference between them.

Looks can be deceiving.

This is a coin from my pocket.

This I picked up in the plaza.

The silver in His Majesty's coin contains nickel.

as a hardening agent.

The coin from the plaza has nickel laced with lead.

Now, the only place where such impure nickel can be found is Guadalajara.

Exactly.

Guadalajara, where the government bank was robbed last month.

work with you right now. Don Alejandro de la Vega, isn't it?

People hold you in great esteem. I demand that you stop this madness.

Stop?

Stop the wheels of freedom?

Yes.

For they roll over innocent people and someone gets hurt.

Senor, we live in a time of great struggle.

All of us are called upon to take a stand.

You are either for us or you are against us.

What's it to be?

This is insane.

I take it you are against us.

No, I am against this.

And the governor will be too.

Respected Caballero, the leader of the community.

I believe I've found my bait for... Zorro!

Buenas noches, senor.

Ray,

send me that letter.

I don't think the governor need be bothered with this.

What do you want from me?

You to help me kill Zorro.

How?

By kidnapping me.

You really think that he's going to fall for one of your stupid traps?

I'm sure your son.

Well, get this into the right hand.

And get up.

Let me pay.

It's addressed to Zorro.

I knew I would do all I could to get this to him.

It's as if they've vanished into thin air.

Of course, wherever the falcon take its prey, to its lair.

Now, Calde lives in the comfort and luxury that you, you have earned.

Alcalde!

Alcalde! I think you should come take a look at this.

What is it, Mendoza?

It reaps the rewards of your hard work, your blood and your sweat.

What does it give you in return?

Nothing.

This liberty is sweet indeed, and it is yours forever.

Join me, my people.

I promise you liberty.

Now.

Now. Issue two muskets to each man. Extra powder and shot.

That man will try to break in here.

What can be deceiving?

Stay perfectly still, Sion. Don't move.

Cut through the rope.

We'll need to move very swiftly.

And carefully.

At slightest vibration.

There.

Now.

You saved my life.

And almost lost your own.

Trader Daddy Mexico.

I almost forgot.

The stolen silver.

Obviously, the Falcon didn't think we'd live to take it.

I think we'll let Sergeant Mendoza be the hero.

He has men with strong backs. Come on.

can't shoot all of us. We have them outnumbered.

Wrong, Falcon.

These people of Los Angeles have you outnumbered.

An interesting time to start a journey, Alcalde.

Wait a minute.

Shame on you.

Give it to me.

This really is for your own good, Alcalde.

Though I must admit, I did enjoy that.

This man would sacrifice all of you for his own greed.

A liar of the Alcalde.

You're a liar.

You are the liar, Falcon.

You can play this game.

My good people, I have the solution to all our problems.

Don't follow the Falcon.

Follow me.

It's certainly worth more than the Falcon's silver.

Pay him no heed.

You cannot be bought.

Precisely.

The silver the Falcon gave you was stolen from poor people just like you in

Guadalajara.

This is some of the money you can force to pay so the Alcalde might have his new

boots.

I should just give up.

I must be, if that is enough.

Pull yourself to the balcony.

See if you can fly.

of each and every one of you who supported this traitor.

That might not be so wise.

After all, your own greed was the cause of all this.

Greed? How dare you? I only have the best interest of my pueblo at heart.

Really? Why don't you sit down and think about that?

Hey!

Such extravagance. in the face of your people's poverty.

You're nothing but a thief!

I could never fill your shoes, Alcaldi.

I'm merely going to return these to your bootmaker.

By the way, you'll find an interesting strongbox up on Chiela Ridge.

Adios!

You're very clever, son.

Oh, dear.

That toe.

Looked so painful out there.

It's nothing compared to the pain Zorro will feel when Mendoza brings him back.

All those chains.

This Falcon must be a pretty dangerous fellow.

There is nothing more dangerous than a traitor.

We take Zorro way into the mountains.

Up by the outlaws' hideout at Yellow Ridge.

Don't tell me he got away again.

Incredible.

Yes, but as Zorro said, we did find this.

The stolen treasure from Guadalajara.

I'll have to pound it, of course.

Why?

To give it a proper accounting.

Remember, he gave a great deal of it away. See, Alcalde, but every centavo of

that money is here.

Returned by the people of Los Angeles.

How generous.

Put the box in my office. I'll give it my first priority.

Alcalde, I think you'd better return this money to its rightful owners

immediately.

What are you talking about?

Mendoza, take a platoon of men. Return the money at once to Guadalajara.
