Original subtitles

When taggers are pointed at innocent hearts, and buckets are ready to fire.

When tyrants ride high and govern with fear, forces of evil come fire.

Then from out of the night, a hero must rise.

Thank you.

Now, children, this is a balance scale. The growers use it to weigh the food.

And with this counterweight, we all pay a fair price.

Remember when we made the pots and pots?

It's like this, but it's baked in a kiln to make it hard.

Come on, kids, let's go look at the city.

Well, the children, they certainly seem to be enjoying school these days, huh?

I like the new cookies.

Well, it says that she's wonderfully creative.

But I was just wondering, what attracts a young lady like that to come out to

California and teach you one of our schools?

Where are the chickens at?

The child will be hurt.

Please do as he says.

I don't make deals with kidnappers, señorita. Yes, Juanita, you don't have a

choice. Listen to her, señor.

What's it going to be? The three horses or this innocent little...

All

right, you have what you want.

Now let the child go before she gets hurt.

Only when we leave.

No man follows. Comprende?

Senor, I swear, you'll regret this.

Rita, you'll be all right?

Stop him, Sergeant.

Well, Alcalde will hit the child if we do. All right. Hold your fire, Lancers.

Hey.

What are you...

An amazing shot, senorita.

Give me that knife!

Sorry!

You shot the bank robber so easily. How could you miss so? You had him in your

sights.

Yeah? Well, I guess nobody's perfect.

May we talk?

Talk? I think we can do. Now, what about Juanita?

It's not a problem. Men are taking care of that.

But I have a proposition for you, a business proposition.

Something tells me I'm interested in your kind of business.

Juanita, you see, in my official duty here, often situations occur in which I

can make great use of your shooting skill.

Like I said, not interested.

Excuse me.

It's your responsibility to the Spanish crown.

My what?

who enjoys the privilege of residence in this territory, owes a certain

citizen... Oh, wait, wait, one second.

The fact is, I heard you needed a teacher, some of the job, but I am an

citizen, and I sure as heck don't owe the Spanish crown anything.

Now, how long to track those bandits?

That child's life is in danger.

And patrol is being set up immediately.

Your men are good.

That man in black is an excellent rider. Oh, senorita, he is impossible to

track. Nothing is such.

Zorro will be caught.

Soon.

Oh, really?

Well, if it's left out from what I've seen so far, it's going to be later. A

later. Come, children, let's go.

Watch her, Sergeant.

Monitor her every...

I'm Vickie Lansing.

And he said, oh.

Vickie, you're not telling the alcalde how I bumped you today.

Well, I didn't think it would change much if I did tell him.

Because the man you almost shot had nothing to do with the bank robbery.

Could have fooled me. He rode through here with that gang, didn't he?

You see, you don't understand.

Zorro is all that stands between the people and this government.

Oh, really?

Sounds like a very interesting man, this girl.

Tell me more about him. He's amazing.

He's absolutely fascinating.

How can I meet him?

I'm afraid he's already spoken.

What are you doing here?

You could have shot me. I guess I could have. Guns can be very dangerous and

accidents happen now, don't they?

Be careful with that pistol, señorita.

I would just like to hang out here.

The alcalde gave me strict orders to watch you and to keep an eye on you.

These men killed the coach driver in San Fernando. They're dangerous.

I'm easily desperate if they travel this trail.

Senorita, you wouldn't happen to have a finger ball, would you?

What?

Ah, never mind. It's nothing.

Have your men found Juanita yet?

Juanita, you've changed.

The restaurados still have her, don't they?

Well, you see, a manhunt in the formidable terrain surrounding this

rather like eating good caviar in this tavern. It's a very difficult task.

Please.

But it's such a difficult task.

How can you spare a sergeant to spy on me?

Well, he's for your protection only, I assure you. I can take care of myself,

thank you.

Indeed.

Is that why you almost shot my sergeant?

That was an accident.

Ah, and the shot that killed the bank robber this morning in the plaza, that

also?

Who are you?

Your new schoolteacher.

Oh, I see.

Schoolteacher.

I'm a fool.

Of course not.

You're simply in business.

Really?

And what business would that be?

I'm hunting the man they call... There

was something about you and a school teacher.

I love the children, but I needed to get the lay of the land without tipping my

hand. Clever, very clever.

But tell me, what is a beautiful young woman like yourself doing being a bandit

like Zorro?

My pa had a wild west show.

It ran the service through the Missouri Territory. The little girl, he taught me

trick riding and sharpshooting.

He taught you well?

Last year, he had a bad horse fall.

Lost the show and went broke.

And then I saw this.

Reward poster for Zora.

I'm hoping to get the cash to buy my pa a small place he can find. I figure if

the poster made it as far as his earth, you folks must need to get this bandit

pretty bad.

Excuse me again.

Zora was not a bandit. Talk to the people, and you will see that he is our

hope. No.

Maria, your local politics are your own business, not mine.

I only know what this flyer's hard cash for the man or woman.

You can capture or kill Zorro.

Well, I for one would like to see you try and capture him.

Zorro's a hero.

Victoria.

Is everything all right? Who do you think is out there right now chasing

those kidnappers?

Nonsense.

Zorro's their leader.

My men are scouring the hillside right now looking for Zorro and his band of

cutthroats. Zorro, you know that.

I know nothing of the sorts, De La Vega.

Zorro is a renegade.

The truth of the matter is, Birds of a feather do flock together.

Maybe it's best I find out for myself.

What took you so long, amigos?

Back off.

You'll die.

I do back off?

I might show her some mercy.

I have a bet. I'll show you some mercy.

I'm certainly glad he showed us some mercy.

Why don't you follow me on your horse, all right?

First,

I think we should tie these hombres up, don't you?

Somewhere down Canyon.

These won't be any trouble.

So you carry on with me, all right?

Yes.

I'll catch up with you later.

You all right?

My ankle.

What are you doing out here?

What do you think?

I'm hunting you. Well, your hunt is over. You found me.

Very funny.

I suppose you taunt all you before you do them in.

Something tells me you're hardly anyone's victim, Senator.

Can you climb?

If I could, you'd be staring down the barrel of a rifle.

It's a tough one.

You pull yourself up?

Yes, I can.

And when I do, I'll be after that reward on your head. Through with you, Zorro.

I'm not one to run from a confrontation, Senorita.

But in this case, it may be the better part of valor.

Adios.

I'll give up now.

Just give me ten good men. We can take them by surprise. I know where Zorro is,

where Juanita is.

And I know where they are, too.

See that she gets home?

Glad you made it back safely.

You just can't ride into town like this.

I'm hunting you.

There's a gun here.

Shoot him! The bounty is yours! Kill him!

No!

I'll have you in my jail, I swear it.

Oh, if you insist.

Hope I'm not losing my touch.

Sorry to see you go, Annie.

A school children's story is a good school teacher.

I know Don Alejandro, but as much as I love those children, I promise I'll get

his farm.

But how will you accomplish that now without Zora's reward money?

Well, they're having a lot of trouble in front here with highway robbery and

rustlers. I thought I'd sign up somewhere.

Well,

Annie, I've never heard of a woman wearing a badge and a gun.

Well, now you have, Don Alejandro.

Just you wait and see.

One day women are going to do all sorts of things they thought they would.

Of course, we'll still be women.

So if you happen to see that Zora fellow again, tell him I owe him one. It will

be my pleasure.

Adios, amigos.

Find time to take a trip to Santa Paula, Diego.

We're at a bank robbery, a shooting, and a kidnapping.

Is everyone all right?

Well, yes.

Oh,

and you missed the chance of meeting a very special young lady.

That's my luck.

Oh, don't worry, Don Diego.

She was too much woman for you anyway.

Well, I told you.

Out with it, Diego. My violin has never sounded better.

Welcome home, son.
