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...

and defender of all is this man who the people acclaim.

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

A hero whose name is Zorro.

His name is Zorro.

Hi,

Don Quixote.

David Sancho Panza, my squire.

What on earth happened?

Where am I?

Hello?

What is this place?

Who am I?

Where am I?

Who am I?

Hello?

Of course.

You certainly feel right here.

Must have regained consciousness.

Baby, do you know of any windmills in the Puebla?

Woe to thee, evildoers.

Have a thousand wrongs to avenge.

Wrongs you, Racinante, my valiant steed. You act as if you don't know me.

Zorro!

You were a very lucky man, senor.

What did you muchacha say you were from?

We didn't.

You know, you look very familiar.

Mendoza, how many times have I told you that there will be no gambling in this

tavern? I must get back to work.

Please forgive me. Con permiso.

We were just having some harmless fun, my pretty senorita.

In the first place, senor, gambling is not harmless fun.

And in the second place, Mendoza doesn't earn enough.

And he has the card sense of a turnip.

And in the third place, don't even think in your wildest dreams that I could be

your senorita.

I love it when they play hard to get.

What in the common, Lancer?

Senorita, my brother and I, we just had a little wager.

Didn't I just explain to you the gambling was... Oh, see, see, you told

But you see, I have just bet him ten pesos that you

would give me a kiss.

Then I think you should pay him his ten pesos.

We shall see.

Are you crazy?

Well, these men should be sufficiently in their cups by now, Sergeant. Prepare

your men to surround the tavern.

400 pesos.

Just think, senorita.

Is all this worth one little kiss?

Filthy heathens!

Zorro! Remove your hands from me.

Or I'll remove them. From your wrists!

Very peculiar.

I'm sure this always worked before.

Victory.

Lady.

Are you injured?

No. Then I dedicate this victory to thy radiance, which has kindled my

inspiration. Look out!

So, this is Zorro, is it?

At your service, senor. I can see your skill matches your reputation.

Nay, I shall not blunt my sword against such unworthy opponents.

Therefore...

You shall feel the sting of my lash. And you shall feel this.

Careful.

He's not very quick.

You two form a line. A line.

What's going on?

Not now, Diego.

The brothers Esteban, they're inside.

What is this statement? It's not... Where's Victoria?

Señorita Escalante is also inside.

What is this statement? Diego,

this isn't a surprise party. It's an ambush. Please stand clear.

He's inside and he's surrounded.

What luck, Lanzas.

Tell Zorro.

At last it ends.

The moment I've been waiting for.

The moment that I've dreamed of since I came to this Pueblo de

Los Angeles.

And now everyone shall see the face beneath the mask.

Don Alejandro.

Can't be.

We've seen Zorro many times. We've stood right next to him. And Don Alejandro's

been right beside us.

It's a testimony to his cleverness, Sergeant. The man is a master of deceit.

He wears the mask. He wears the cape.

And he interferes where he is not wanted.

And now I've got him.

I've won.

I've caught Zorro!

Do your worst.

Oh, ye of the woeful countenance.

Do you think you fooled me, Della Vega, even for a moment? I knew it was you all

along. You did, alcalde?

I want to guard on this cell 24 hours, sergeant.

Muy bien, alcalde.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

What about us?

What about you?

Don't you have another cell somewhere?

Yeah, solitary confinement or something.

You're asking for solitary confinement?

Why? It's him.

He never stops.

He goes on and on all about glory.

and chivalry and undefensed.

It's torture!

Torture?

That's good.

That's good.

I'm so sorry, Alejandro.

Sandra Pazza, my squire.

I knew you could never be in a league with these wicked rogues.

I was thinking.

We should escape tonight.

After nightfall. Don't you agree?

Yes. I mean, no, Don Alejandro.

What is the matter?

You're not really Zorro, are you?

You should know better than anyone, Sancho.

Sancho, why do you keep calling me Sancho? My name is Jaime.

Jaime.

Yes, of course, Jaime.

Yes, never fear, Jaime.

My lips are sealed.

Gracias.

Rat catchers.

Alcalde, you cannot actually believe my father is Zorro.

I realize it's difficult to accept. Sure, now be objective for a while.

Now, we've both seen Zorro.

He's a much younger man, agile, powerful, tall.

An illusion.

You see, Diego, you people have idolized Zorro to the point that you assign him

qualities that he doesn't have.

I see him for what he really is, a common criminal.

I'm not blind about romantic illusions.

My father's life is no illusion.

It has been an exemplary one dedicated to public service. To execute such a man

would be a crime.

I agree.

I agree. Don Alejandro de la Vega is a model citizen. I suggest you think of

this not as his execution, but as Zorro's.

My father is a much loved and respected man in this community.

People will not stand for this. Oh, please.

Diego. You realize that common rabble love to see nothing more than a man of

wealth and property dangling from the end of a rope. Then why is this to be a

closed execution behind locked gates?

Well, you know, passions about Zor run very high in this town.

I can't afford to have a riot on my hands.

Senorita. Don Alejandro, why were you in the tavern dressed as Zorro?

To look on thy radiance is to be rejuvenated by the sun itself.

Well, thank you.

Wait a minute.

There must be some terrible mistake here.

Oh, yes, of course.

There's a horrible mistake. I was captured. I beg your forgiveness, Your

Highness. Don Alejandro, now listen to me. Soon it will be done.

Thank goodness!

Unless something is done, you will hang.

This troubles you, does it?

Troubles me?

Troubles me?

Of course it troubles me.

Then I curse them doubly for placing one crease upon my lady's brow.

Upon my oath, they shall pay dearly.

So romantic.

Do not worry, senorita, do not worry. Soon you and I will be reunited.

Oh, my beloved.

Dulcinea.

Dulcinea.

Isn't that his horse?

I think so.

Sergeant, can't you see how Zorro has infected the entire town with his spirit

of anarchy?

You have no idea, Sergeant. This is the way that political parties are born.

I have to admit,

he's a brave fellow.

Your son senses regrets.

He doesn't wish to see his father hang.

A coward to the last.

Diego de la Vega will avenge my death.

Son of Zorro, I can do no less.

I'm sorry, senor, but your son could not avenge a mild stomachache.

If at a time like this I expect Zorro to ride in and save the day.

Well, expectations are one thing.

Reality is quite another.

guilty of?

A crime.

He's Zorro.

How can he be Zorro when Zorro stands before you? It's a trick.

No, Alcarde. No tricks.

There's nothing up my sleeve.

Look at that. There is.

on my grandchildren that I fought with the real Zorro.

This will help you to feel better.

I said it all along.

Don Alejandro could not possibly be Zorro.

Sergeant!

Well, it was some sort of conspiracy cooked up by Zorro to pin his crimes on

of the town's leading citizens.

Now, Zorro did save Don Alejandro's life.

It was a trick.

To ingratiate himself to the mob.

Bacardi, doesn't the second trick cancel out the first trick?

That's the genius of it, Sergeant.

I don't expect you to grasp this subtlety.

Exactly.

I said it all along.

Don Alejandro could not possibly be Zorro.

Get out of here, Sergeant.

Get out.

Are you sure Don Alejandro's all right? Oh, yes.

Zorro left him here, none the worse for wear.

But you know, Victoria, I think my father will be a bit embarrassed by all

this.

Perhaps we should spread the word throughout the Pueblo to put all this

us and not mention it again. I think he'd appreciate that.

I think that's an excellent idea.

Well, I'd better be going for now.

Adios. Adios.

Zorro.

I beg your pardon, Father?

I had a dream, Diego.

And I dreamt. I dreamt that I was Zorro.

Imagine that. Me, Zorro.

Imagine that.

It was so real, Diego.

It was so real.

Diego?

Yes?

You don't suppose there could actually be a little bit of Zorro on me, do you?

It's hard to say, Father.

But you know, even a man like Zorro needs inspiration.

What do you mean, son?

Oh, I don't know.

I think there might be something of you in Zorro.
