is this man who the people acclaim

he's the one who strikes back for the poor and oppressed a hero

What a beautiful animal.

Oh, superb.

I want that horse.

Extraordinary. Such speed.

It's just a dumb animal.

Can you run that fast, Sergeant?

A most impressive demonstration, senor.

My opposer will ride any horse into the dust, alcalde. I personally guarantee

it. Audaciously spoken.

Your price?

Five thousand.

Pegasus would not fetch that kind of money on today's market. No.

Two thousand.

A shame we cannot do business, senor.

All right. Three thousand.

Four thousand, that's my last offer.

All right!

Five thousand!

Okay.

Alcalde.

Excuse us, Senor Jurado.

Alcalde. What is it?

It's a splendid horse, an incredible horse, but 5 ,000 pesos?

That is half the annual budget of Pueblo de Los Angeles.

Sergeant, the people of Los Angeles will gladly pay for this horse.

How will they pay?

Well, suppose we simply levy a tax on their horses, hmm?

A horse tax?

The people will never... Sergeant! With this mount, I will ride Zorro into the

ground. And when we are alone out there in the desert, I will put a bullet into

his evil heart.

Ah.

With this mount.

Look at the poster outside.

Another tax.

A horse tax?

That's the last straw.

That's what everybody's saying, but I'm only doing my job.

Well, if you don't like your job, Sergeant, then quit.

I would.

Then I would have to pay the horse tax.

Oh, I see. The military are exempt.

Well, I was wrong. That is the last straw.

Buenos dias, Don Alejandro. Have you heard about this new tax?

I certainly have. That's why we're here.

Sergeant Mendoza, would you do me a favor and ask the alcalde to step out

few minutes?

I would, Don Alejandro, but the alcalde left strict orders not to be disturbed

under any circumstances.

Under any circumstances?

Well, I'm sure Zorro will be very pleased to hear about that.

Zorro?

If he dares to show his face around here today, he's in for the biggest surprise

of his life. I love surprises, Sergeant.

Sorrow?

How did he know?

How did who know what?

The Alcalde said you would show up today.

Oh, I wonder what he...

Alcalde!

The people of Los Angeles demand another reason for this horse.

Tack! To hunt you down, Zorro.

Nothing can outrun Mariposa.

That is indeed a magnificent animal.

We've been challenged, old boy.

Perhaps a small wager.

If I escape, you rescind the taxes.

I don't make deals without loss.

Run Tornado, run!

Well ridden, amigo.

The system, aren't they?

Time to get out of here.

If he doesn't get it, then I will.

This should separate the men from the boy.

On four.

Made it.

That is one good horse.

What have you found there, amigo?

I know you're thirsty, boy.

It's dangerous to let you drink.

To let you cool down.

If you'll forgive me.

It won't take the Alcalde long to realize he's been tricked.

By the time he doubles back, we'll be on our way to the Hacienda.

You're there somewhere.

You won't escape me this time.

It's getting hard.

We'll move to the Alcante not a moment too soon.

The stream is tainted.

The water filters through rocks.

Something in the rocks causes convulsions, pain.

Another one of your tricks, eh, Zorro?

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

The fever will strike you very soon.

We are miles from Los Angeles.

What is it?

You can't see, can you?

I'll find out who's beneath the mask of Zorro.

Losing your sight puts you at a distinct disadvantage, wouldn't you say?

Surrender, Zorro.

I'll give you a fair trial.

Otherwise, I'll cut you down here and now.

Frank, neither of those choices sound very appealing.

It won't be long now, senor.

We must help each other, or we're both dead men.

I'm afraid none of those choices sounds very appealing to me.

Madre de Dios!

I will die out here!

The blind death will come soon, Alcalde. A truth!

I trust you.

Don't have to be my eyes, old boy.

Mariposa!

Mariposa, come back here!

I'll die!

be see by now. Where could he have gone?

My sight.

It's returning.

Poison's effect is only temporary.

He's heading for the Salento Canyon Bridge.

Thank you.

more clearly by the minute.

Alcalde, listen to me.

Our differences may be wider than this canyon, but even you know how much I

value a life.

Let me help you.

Your vision has returned.

Now you'll be able to witness my escape.

You're not going to leave me here!

I think a new version of the old proverb is called for.

Don't destroy your bridges until after you've crossed them.

to see you.

For once in my life, the feeling is mutual.

Mariposa, he's across the ravine. He drinks from that contaminated pool.

Oh, no, no, don't worry, Alcalde.

Zorro took him back safely to Los Angeles. He's in good shape.

As a matter of fact, Zorro told us where to find you.

He did?

Yes. See, Zorro was hard to understand.

He has his own code of honor.

Well, He's a bigger fool than I thought he was.

As soon as I'm rested, I'm getting back on Mariposa.

I'm going to hunt him down, and this time I'm not going to fail.

Well, as I say, he has his own code of honor.

He has sold Mariposa.

He what?

Yes, he sold him to a passing traveler.

Six thousand pesos, he got a good price.

Six? Yes.

Then I'll add horse stealing to his long list of crimes.

Well, not exactly, mi alcalde.

You see, he paid the horse tax for the entire pueblo.

Have a little more.

Get your hands off me.

At

least

no one will ever drink from that pond again.

What's this place called?

I have no idea.

Why don't we call it Blind Man's Bluff?
