Buenas tardes, Senor Gonzales.

Buenas tardes, Crescencia.

I brought the buggy for Senorita Cabrillo's trunk.

- Where is it? - It's in her room.

Gracias.

Vulture!

Why did you call me that?

You're... You're just like all the rest of them.

You can't wait to run that poor girl out of Los Angeles.

- | just came to get the trunk. - Mm-hmm.

Sergeant Garcia told me to. He was supposed to be here. Is he?

He's in the sala talking to Don Diego and Don Alejandro.

If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to pick up that trunk.

Don Diego won't let them send the senorita back to Spain.

Hmm? I thought that was all settled.

Not as far as Don Diego and l are concerned.

Well, what do you think, Crescencia?

Should I go in after the trunk or no?

That's entirely up to you.

You won't get any help from me. [scoffs]

[Garcia] I'm sorry, Don Diego,

but you have said nothing to make me change my mind.

- [Diego] We'll just have to talk more. - No, we will not.

Anita starts back to Spain on today's coach, and that is final.

You can't do this to her, Father.

Sergeant Garcia's well within the law, and I agree with him.

If you send this girl back to Spain, she'll never find her father.

Don Diego, the senorita does not have a father.

At least not here in Los Angeles.

Of course she does! He wrote her from here.

Why, he even sent her presents from here.

[Alejandro] Presents that do not exist and letters that vanish.

From the very beginning, her whole story has been a lie.

That's a rather strong word, isn't it, Father?

And I do not enjoy using it, but I have no other choice.

There is not one shred of evidence to support anything she's said

from the moment that she arrived.

[Garcia] Don Diego, just for her own safety,

the senorita should return to Spain.

In the short while she has been here, if it were not for Zorro,

she would have been dead, twice.

Someone's been trying to prevent Anita from finding her father,

and you two are playing right into his hands.

Someone? Who, Don Diego?

Give us a name. Give us one single thing that we can believe in.

Buenas tardes, Anita.

Buenas tardes, senores.

Sergeant Garcia, my belongings are all packed.

I'm at your disposal.

Gracias, Senorita Cabrillo.

And, Don Alejandro, I wanna thank you for your hospitality.

l was a stranger here, and you took me in.

I shall remember only that.

- All packed, eh? - Si.

The coach doesn't leave until 4:00.

I would prefer to leave now and wait for it in Los Angeles.

Anita, that brooch.

- Where did you get it? - lt's mine.

- But where did you get it? - What's the matter?

Just a minute, Diego.

Tell me where you got that brooch. I must know.

Do you want the truth, or shall I tell you something you'll believe?

I deserve that.

My father sent it to me for my 12th birthday.

He bought it at a church auction.

Father, what's the matter with the brooch?

lt belonged to your mother.

Several years ago, I gave it to the church to be auctioned off.

It was the fiesta of the discovery of this country.

They were raising money for a new roof.

You were in Spain at the time.

You see, then my father is in Los Angeles. This proves it.

Yes, it does. Well, Sergeant, you wanted proof.

There it is. What do you say? Does she stay?

She does, Don Diego.

Uh,Anita, l...

Please forgive me.

[Garcia] Senorita,

I'm sorry, too.

[Diego] Who bought the brooch?

[Alejandro] I do not know. It was four years ago,

and I did not attend the auction.

I'm sure that Padre Vincente must have a record of it in his journal.

- Of course! - I'll get my shawl.

Uh, no, Anita. You stay here.

If we find your father, we will bring him back here to you.

Don Diego, I came to pick up the senorita's trunk.

I'm sorry, senor, but there'll be no baggage to be picked up today.

The senorita's not leaving just yet.

Oh? Oh.

[door closes]

I think we're about to locate Anita's father.

We have to go in the pueblo first and take a look at Padre Vincente's journal.

No, no, no. You stay here, keep an eye on Anita.

I think things are coming to a showdown.

She may be in more danger now than ever before.

He just went into the church. Did you find any gold?

- Not a peso. - Then let's get out of here!

Wait a minute. What is your hurry?

Well, he can come right over here.

I hope he does decide to come home.

I hate to be kept waiting.

What are you talking about?

What have you got there?

A thousand pesos.

Maybe even 10,000 pesos.

- In those letters? - Not in them.

For them.

These are the letters from Senorita Cabrillo to her father,

and these are the letters from the father

to Senorita Cabrillo.

- You mean, he is her father? - So it would seem.

[both laughing]

| see.

The senorita would pay

many pesos to find out who her father is.

Let's take the letters out to the De la Vega rancho

and sell them to her.

We'll do that later.

Right now, let us wait for Papa.

The padre's journal will be in the study.

We can use the side door.

"I will be back within the hour. Padre Vincente."

He would be gone now.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we took a look at the journal.

Of course not. His door is always open.

He usually keeps it on the second shelf.

Here it is, Father. On the desk.

Good.

Not so good. Look.

- A page has been torn out. - The exact page we're looking for...

- October 12th! - How could this happen?

- I don't know... - [floorboards creak]

Come in, SenorAvila.

Everyone is welcome in Padre Vicente's study.

Or would you prefer to remain outside and listen?

l was about to knock, Don Diego.

Then we've saved you the trouble. Come in, come in.

What are you doing here? Why aren't you at your store?

- And why aren't you at the cuartel? - Well, I... | asked you first.

If you want to know, I was looking for you. I thought I saw you come in here.

Looking for me? Why?

Because my store was almost robbed this morning.

It was two vaqueros.

The ones that just started working for you.

They tried to break into my store early this morning.

Why didn't you report this to the cuartel?

Search him. If he tore the leaf out of the journal, he may still have it.

Take your hands off of me.

Stand still. You're under arrest.

One moment, Sergeant. Look.

You see the smudge? Well, that's dirt.

Now whoever tore the page up

probably put his hand down like this to hold the book, and...

so his hands were more than likely dirty.

Now Senor Avila, he needs clean hands to sell food.

Oh, then the thing to do, Don Diego,

lwill search the pueblo,

and when | find a man with dirty hands, I...

SenorAvila, I'm afraid we've done you an injustice.

That's all right, Don Diego.

May | go now, Sergeant?

Oh, of course.

Think of all the people in Los Angeles

who just may happen to have dirty hands,

including Sergeant Garcia.

Father Vincente is supposed to have a remarkable memory.

But if he can recall who bought the particular brooch

at an auction four years ago,

| just do not believe it is possible.

Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

[hoofbeats approaching]

He's coming back.

[man grunts]

I thought you wanted to talk to him.

- l have a better idea. - What?

If the rich senorita is willing to pay so many pesos for her letters,

she will pay even more for her papa.

[laughing]

I do not know, Diego.

I'm about ready to give up.

Every trail we follow leads to a dead end.

I know how you feel. If we're not right about this,

I don't know where we'll turn next.

I knew it.

What is it?

It's the page that's missing from Father Vincente's journal.

You were right.

But why did they leave in such a hurry?

I don't know.

I'm afraid this whole thing is about to blow up.

The best thing we can do is to make sure that Anita's safe.

Senorita Cabrillo, you have taken off your beautiful dress.

You are not going riding?

It's nearly dark, and Don Diego and Don Alejandro

haven't returned. I'm going into Los Angeles to look for them.

- But you can't do that. - Can't I?

There is a muchacho here to see you.

What does he want?

He wouldn't tell me, Senorita.

- He wants to talk to you. - Where is he?

He's waiting for you on the patio.

Do you wish to speak to me, boy?

- Are you Senorita Cabrillo? - Si.

I am to speak to you alone, Senorita.

That's all right. Bernardo neither hears nor speaks.

Please, Senorita, I am to speak to you alone.

Very well, then, come into the sala.

Now, muchacho, we're all alone, and no one can hear us.

What is the secret you wish to tell me?

A man said I was to give you this, Senorita.

He said you would give me a coin.

[Anita] This is one of the letters I wrote to my father.

Where did you get it?

The man gave it to me. He said the coin might be silver.

The coin? Oh, yes, of course.

Here, this is silver. It will bring you a hundred coins.

Oh, no, Senorita.

That's all right. You keep it.

Now who was this man?

Who gave you the letter?

I don't know, Senorita. It was just a man.

Well, what did he look like?

A man.

Did he say anything? Is there a message?

Si, Senorita.

He said to come alone and bring your money.

- Did he say anything else? - No, Senorita.

Muchacho, you'd better be going home now.

You'll miss your supper.

Adios, muchacho, and gracias.

No, you can't come with me.

My father said I must come alone.

Father! Father!

Buenas noches, Senorita Cabrillo.

You are very prompt.

You sent that letter?

| see you brought the money. Good.

Surely, Senorita, you would not think of leaving

without seeing your father?

Go back down the trail and see if she was followed.

Go on.

Are you my father?

I did not want you to know.

[laughs] Well, Senorita, is he worth the money?

Here.

Don't do that, Senorita.

But I paid you.

He does not intend to let either of us go.

He is not much to look at, your father,

but he's a very smart man.

What have you there, Senorita?

You let us go or I'll shoot.

[Jose] Raimundo, what's the matter?

Stay where you are, Jose.

The honeybee has a stinger.

And such a tiny one, too.

Put down your knife.

As you say, Senorita.

- No! - [screams]

Quickly, behind those rocks.

Gracias,

All right, Ruiz, l have the pistol now.

You're not fighting a little girl anymore.

You have only one shot, stable master.

We have two.

You are right, scum. We have only one shot.

Which one of you wants it?

I'm going to climb up there and get behind them.

Servant to horses, you've got one minute to live,

you and your fancy daughter.

I am sorry, Anita.

If only I had succeeded in frightening you back to Spain.

But why did you want to do that?

You heard what he called me.

Servant of horses.

Is that what you think of yourself?

No, but I was afraid that you might.

Oh, Father.

Zorro!

[screams]

Well, Senorita, I told you I would put you on a coach

to send you back to Spain.

That was your intention, Sergeant.

Yours, too, wasn't it, Senor Cabrillo?

It was, but I am very glad

neither one of us succeeded until now.

Senorita, we are...

...we are going to miss you very much.

You, too, Don Miguel.

- That's you. - Hmm?

Oh. [laughs] Excuse me, Sergeant.

It's been so long.

Being a gentleman will take a little time getting used to.

As if he'd ever been anything else.

[laughs]

Well.
