ZORRO ALLA CORTE DI SPAGNA

- The change of horses is ready?
- All in order, Count Cabral.

I won't feel easy until the
Grand Duchess is safe.

Of course, Count.

Here is the carriage.

< - Change the horses, quickly!
< - Fast as you can, now!

Thanks Heavens you are here!

Not seeing you coming,
I feared the worst.

To avoid Don Ramon's patrols
we had to take the long way.

The Count of Terceira is
at your disposal.

He will accommodate you
and your daughter.

Bless you.

This is the final stage in
our roaming.

Will we never return to our
beautiful house, Mummy?

Let us hope we will,
my treasure.

Our swords and our lives are

at the service of the one true
Grand Duchess of Lusitania.

While I have at my side such
faithful subjects as you,

as Garcia, then all is not lost.

God will not allow for long
today's abuse of power,

which has your brother-in-law,
Don Ramon, ruling in your place.

< Alarm!
- What is happening?

Don Ramon's soldiers are here!
About fifty of them!

- They are coming this way.
- How far away are they?

- Ten miles, maybe less.
- There's no time to lose.

You, Cabral, go with Her Highness
and escort her to the castle!

Quickly! Take it away! Go!

Courage, Highness!
May God help you!

Go! Hurry up!

Let's get ready to meet them
as necessary! With me!

They are certain to appear
from over there.

Fire only on my order.

Fire!

Charge!

Stop!

I want him alive.

Pull him up!

Leave the Grand Duchy in
the hands of whom?

A little girl?

With enemies surrounding us
on every side.

Is this what I should do,
Father Domenico?

But that little girl is the
legitimate heir.

Ah yes? Then I will rule as
an equal on her behalf.

Others more powerful than
you have tried that.

But each one has met his
comeuppance.

Do you always side with my sister
Juana?

< I am her confessor, but I
serve only Truth - and God.

Be sure of this. No state will
recognise your authority.

You will forever be identified
as a usurper.

How dare you!?

Just because you wear those
robes, you think you can use

offensive language against me?

Stay within your limits.

Which, as far as I am
concerned, are very narrow.

I could call on my servants
and have you shown the door.

But I hold back from that.

Just get out. Leave!

Don Ramon, remember that
power based upon violence,

is meaningless.

Meaningless? But I have men,
an army!

One moment.

What has been said here must
remain within these walls. Clear?

Now, go!

Think well, Garcia.
Reflect.

With my brother, you were
his Prime Minister

and you could retain that
position with me.

Indeed, together we might
do great things,

but it is essential that I
should know

where to find that little girl
and her mother.

I assure you I will not harm
a hair of their heads.

I am certain of it. It is not..

their lives you seek, but their
renunciation of the throne,

else you cannot be validated
as Grand Duke of Lusitania.

I see.

But as a man of learning,
do you not think...

the throne would be better
occupied by a man

rather than a little girl?

And what would this man make
of his power?

What would he do with laws
that have made...

the people of Lusitania
happy and free?

Already your soldiers engage
in every sort of bullying.

Manuel Garcia, I give you
3 days to change your mind,

- after 3 days...
- You'll have me killed, I know!

But my death will not hinder the
triumph of justice and the law.

Enough is enough!

Captain Herrera,
take this man away.

- Se�or...
- Welcome, gentlemen.

I believe that one can eat
decently here?

We hope to justify that claim!

Please do so; for my master,
the Marquis of Villareal,

has refined tastes.

We will do our very best.

- Proceed! - Carola! Rosita!
Prepare a table, quickly!

I am most honoured to host
the Marquis of Villareal.

You must try one of my
specialities.

It will satisfy your appetite
after such a long journey.

- Se�or... Thank you.

Pretty lady, do you have
two fresh horses ready?

My master will want to leave
again soon.

Already!

I've come from so far away,
I've forgotten certain things.

Where have you come from?

- From Mexico.
-Ah, Mexico.

Ah, bravo!
If the flavour is like the smell,

I will be very happy I stopped
off at your hostelry.

- I hope so, your Excellency.
- Drink some wine with me?

Marquis, too kind.
Carola, a bottle of Jerez.

Paquito, stay here and
eat with me.

Master, truly I...

don't have much of an appetite...

- I understand! Go... go...
- Thank you!

These are sad times...

Exquisite!
Priceless!

Ever since the Grand Duke died,
the land has not known peace.

We are faithful to his memory,

and would like to see young
Elizabet on the throne.

Oh good, leave it here.

In Mexico, dishes such as this
do not exist.

My dear sir, I have come from
quite a turbulent country,

and would find here peaceful.

Whether one side or the other
wins is, for me, of no interest.

At your service.

- Why have you stopped playing?
- No reason...

Then continue!

Bring us something to drink!
And the best!

- Rosita, make it quick!

Eh! Where are you going, baby!
What's your name?

She is my daughter, Carola,
Captain.

But why aren't you drinking?
It's Malaga, and the best!

And now, to show your
loyalty,

I invite you all to drink with me,

to the health of Don Ramon
De Castro,

our Lord and only Grand Duke
of Lusitania!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Did you hear my invitation?

Certainly I heard it.

You see, when I left this country
there was one Grand Duke

and, now I return, I find
another I do not know.

Would you drink to the health
of someone you don't know?

Allow me to confine myself
to drinking to your health,

brave Captain.

I think you're a likeable chap.

Cheers!

And you also are
a likeable fellow!

Long life!

We'll come back tonight,
those girls interest me!

Let's go!

- Curses on them!
- Quiet, they might hear you!

Did you see?
Isn't it the way I said?

Overbearing and arrogant!

You were right enough.

And, travelling by night, I
wouldn't want to meet them.

- Do you have a room ready?
< - The best, Marquis.

Good.

< Eh, in the inn!

- Here I am, I'm coming!
< - Eh!

< - Open up!
- Here I am!

- Who can it be at this hour?
< - Come on, open up!

Show a little consideration!

What do you want, disturbing
us at this hour?

- Who are you? < - Travellers,
we need a place to sleep!

Wait then, I'll open up.

- The reprisals of a usurper!
- Take care what you say!

My only loyalty is for the child
Elizabet and her Mother,

and no threat will change that!

- Ah, there you are, my dear.
- Good day, Uncle.

Miguel Herrera has been
renewing his proposals.

Uncle, I have already told you!

If the Grand Duke's people
can do you harm,

I am disposed to marry
the brother of your wife!

No, Blanca. Not while I'm alive!
You will marry Ricardo!

Do you believe he loves me?

I remember him vaguely,
I was a child when he left.

Why did he go?

Our country was too small for him.

I'm sure you will love him, and
that you will be happy together.

And I will have an ally in my fight.

- And so he refused, eh?
- Yes.

Your husband is
an obstinate old man.

I know. Ever since the
Grand Duke died,

he has shut himself in the castle
and has never emerged!

You are not happy, Sister?

If only I had a son!

I understand.

A son would have helped
you to withstand this exile.

What nonsense! A son would
have made me Mistress here

with equal rights to the riches
of Villareal!

Instead, all will go to this
stepson that I don't know!

And we Herreras won't even
get the crumbs!

This is why I wanted you
to marry Blanca!

All that comes to nothing
with the Mexican returning!

He may be sure to obstruct
our plans!

Welcome home, Marquis!

Heaven be praised,
we were all expecting you!

- Greetings, Sancho. How are you?
- Well; now I've seen you again!

Oh, Sancho!

- Move on, Paquito!
< - Yes, Se�or!

- Se�or.
- So much dust.

- Pablo! - Welcome back, sir.
We are all waiting for you!

- You are always so young,
Pablo, old man! - Thank you.

Incredible, the dust you have
on your streets!

Oh, Father! How happy I am
to see you!

My Son, you do not know how
I have waited for your return.

Many things have happened,
and I have need of you.

Ah, here is my Wife,
Francisca Herrera.

- Welcome home.
- Glad to know you, Se�ora.

My Brother.

Miguel Herrera,

Commander of the Guard of
Grand Duke Ramon De Castro.

I would prefer to call you Miguel
if you will allow me,

it's meant affectionately!

I find it easier, given our kinship.

Is that not so, Father?

And this is your cousin, Blanca.

I recall a baby, but instead...

- Oh, Blanca! You permit a kiss?
- Of course.

I am glad to find you all
in good health.

Father, before telling you
about my journey,

may I ask your permission
to take a good bath?

I must rid myself of the dust
showered on me by your roads...

What I have to tell you
is most important.

You will have lots of time
afterwards.

I'll wait for you in my study.

Se�ores, excuse me.

Please.

An individual like that
will make our task easier.

Quickly with the baggage!
What are you doing here?

You are not in your place? Go!

Aren't you helping?

I am in the service of the Ladies
of the Castle, not the men.

I would like to know your
position and name, young man.

Cleaner, cook, coachman,
confidante to the Marquis.

- My name is Paquito.
- And the weapons?

This? It's a Mexican necklace.
We brought it with us.

Take the rest of the baggage,
and follow me.

Oh no, I don't bother
with baggage!

Ah, no?

What you are saying is
unworthy of a Villareal!

I am old and tired, and you
must take my place!

We have to put the small
Grand Duchess on the Throne.

Father, when I left for Mexico

I asked you to let me be the
arbiter of my own actions.

You agreed - I should like to
remind you of that.

Life has taught me many
things, Father.

It has taught me that taking
sides in a "cause"'

can be highly dangerous.

But this is an abuse of power!
The true sovereign is Elizabet!

One of our best minds, Manuel
Garcia - yes, your old mentor -

who has always fought for
good has been arrested!

And will be led to the scaffold
like a common criminal!

I'm sorry, Father, but this
confirms what I said a moment ago.

And then, what could I do?
I am no use with a sword,

and firearms frighten me.

I would be useless in a fight.

It is not cowardice, Father.
It is good sense.

And Blanca? You are bound
to her with a promise.

Will you sacrifice yourself, or
do I accept Herrera's proposal?

To marry Blanca is not
a sacrifice.

Yes, I think I will marry her.

- Come in.

Luncheon is served, Marquis.

Well done, Pablo!
This is indeed good news!

I hope that La Concha has
prepared something tasty!

Ah, Don Miguel, I would like
to ask a favour of you.

At your service.

I wish to visit Coimbra. Would
you present me to the Grand Duke?

- But, of course.
- Thank you.

My dear.

Sister Angelica, take the
children to play in the garden.

Highness, this is the last time
I am allowed to call you thus.

No-one must know that this
convent is home to

the rightful heir to the
Grand Duchy of Lusitania.

You will be just one of
the girls.

And you will treated in exactly
the same way as the others.

I understand.

- Then can I go and play with
the others? - Of course.

Goodbye, Count Cabral.

Tell my Mother I will always
think of her.

May Heaven protect you,
Highness.

Poor little thing.

The Castle of Terceiro was
no longer a safe place.

The blockade by Don Ramon's
troops has become tighter.

We barely managed to get
through their lines.

I suggested your convent

as a more secure refuge
for her Highness.

You chose well. And what of
the Grand Duchess Juana?

I go now to join her.
Coming with me, Father?

No, I return to Coimbra. I am
increasingly needed there.

Mother Superior.

So, once again, they escaped
right under our noses.

What a pretty state of affairs!

I have bought the co-operation
of one man.

And can find for you the hiding
places of one and the other.

- Why are they not together?
- For safety.

You know, Herrera, I've always
had great confidence in you.

Find them, but be quick.

I need a coronation to ratify
my taking of the throne.

And I want this latest humiliation
responded to with an act of force.

Have Manuel Garcia executed
tomorrow at dawn.

It will serve as a warning
to our opponents.

I recommend the execution take
place within the prison,

and not in public.
- Why?

This man is a symbol, and
symbols are always dangerous.

You're right. Make your
arrangements on that basis.

Do we have many callers?

The usual sort who have
a favour to ask

and want to get to know you.

I also have someone to present
to you.

< There were four of them,
including their leader!

< - The masked man?
< - Yes. - Well done, bravo!

< Then I stayed behind with the
girl and ordered some good wine.

A finale worthy of such an epic!

- Ah, you!
- Happy to see you again, Captain.

Please, continue. I am consumed
by a desire to hear the outcome.

You were saying you ordered
some good wine.

Just so. The wine was brought
to the table by two girls.

Oh my gosh! I would've liked
to be there myself!

Yes, you would have been
of some help.

The ferocity of the fight
was a mere trifle

compared with the ardour
of those two girls!

Usually in Mexico, when faced
with similar circumstances,

one employs a stratagem, Captain.
- Oh yes? And what is that?

To show you better, I would
like a hat.

Excuse me, yours will do!
Oh! Pardon me...

- What an ugly wound! < - Did
your opponent do this to you?

- Was it one of the girls?
- Strange sign, like a letter Z.

His Highness, Ramon De Castro,
Grand Duke of Lusitania.

Highness, permit me to present
the Marquis Ricardo of Villareal,

the son of Don Pedro.

If I remember correctly,
you have been living in Mexico.

- Yes, Highness.
- An interesting country, Mexico.

And what reasons have prompted
you to return to Lusitania?

The hope to contribute to
the good of the country.

Ah, a noble sentiment.

The same hope also of your father!

The tree on which the wind blows
for years in the same direction,

bends, and no strength on Earth
can straighten it.

Straighten it, no.
But chop it down, yes.

Anyway, come and see me again.
I will readily talk with you again.

I'm sorry I won't be able to
accompany you,

but I must be at the Castle
late into the night.

- Affairs of State?
- Just so.

His Highness has decreed the
death of Manuel Garcia.

- Poor fellow; and when is the
execution? - Tomorrow, at dawn.

Excuse me.

In the name of his Grace,
Don Ramon De Castro,

the Supreme Court of Coimbra
has decided and so orders

that the citizen Manuel Garcia,
being guilty of high treason,

is sentenced to death
by hanging.

The Supreme Court of Coimbra
further orders

that this execution, of the
aforesaid Manuel Garcia,

be carried out on the
12th of September 1843,

in this same city,

signed,
Francisco Jos� Gonzales.

< To arms! To arms!

< Don't shoot!
We want to take them alive!

To horse!

Follow them!

Quickly! My horse!

- Get back in the saddle!
- Mount up, quickly!

I know where to find them!
With me!

< - Open up! - One moment!

- What is going on?
< - Open, snail! Move yourself!

- What do you want?
- We must search the villa.

That is not possible,
my masters are still abed!

And I will search just the same!

Let no-one leave!
Two come with me!

What is this?

Marquis. Sir, we suspect that
the fabled Zorro,

and a political prisoner freed
by him - Manuel Garcia -

are hidden in this villa.

Manuel Garcia has escaped?
I am delighted.

I see Zorro didn't limit himself
to freeing Garcia, but

he also left something with you.

He is a wanted man, and if
I find him here...

What? You want to turn my
house upside down?

My Father, the Captain must
be allowed to do his duty.

For his part, I hope he'll give us
an account of this morning,

and avoid any improper checks.

- Thank you, Marquis.
- Not at all.

Another of those strange wounds!

This Zorro has used your face
like a parchment!

- You over there, come with me.
- Pablo, accompany the Captain.

And you, return to your work.

I wonder if this prodigal can
truly be my son!

Perhaps the Lord wants to
punish me for my sins of pride.

Go, return to your bed. I want
to follow those gentlemen.

Father.

- Consuelo, what is the name of
the man who saved Garcia? - Zorro.

Zorro, may God help him.

- He is young and handsome.
- How can one tell if he is masked?

Well, such a man cannot be
other than handsome!

Was Marquis Ricardo present
when the soldiers arrived?

Yes, he persuaded Don Pedro
to let them search...

- May I go, Se�orita?
- Yes, have my horse prepared.

- Yes, of course.
- I will be down directly.

You? You are Zorro?

I need your help, would you
be prepared to give it?

Yes.

Good. Manuel Garcia is hidden
in a cave behind the waterfall.

As soon as I can, I will take
him to a safer place, but

he needs food and clothing.
Will you do it?

Of course. But you are in danger.
They are out looking for you!

Do not fear, they will not take me.

Who are you?

One who one day saw your eyes,

and has never forgotten them.

One who says to you: never
despair, no matter what happens.

Goodbye, Blanca. Tell no-one
you have seen me.

Blanca, waiting for you,
I dozed off. Forgive me!

Eh, this cursed climate...

Yesterday in Coimbra I wanted
to buy an engagement ring for you.

I thought it was going to be easy,
but then I thought

it would be better to leave
the choice to you.

See, my dear, here is everything:
emeralds, rubies, diamonds...

Aren't they beautiful?

It makes no difference to me,
this one will do.

Decidedly, I feel a lack of warmth!

My father treats me with
coldness, and you...

I should hate you!

A hero is in hiding here, and
you tried to assist in his capture!

Ah... I knew it!

All morning the house has
resounded with his name.

Zorro...

And the best part is that
you are all so enthusiastic.

You doubt that he is a hero?

Depends on one's point of
view, don't you think?

For me, he is a common adventurer

who will one day be found
hanging from a tree.

But I see that you have been
out riding.

Your dress is all muddied.
What happened?

Nothing, I just walked a bit.

Blanca, my father wants to
set our wedding in four days.

Is that acceptable to you?

Yes...

What's wrong, my dear Herrera?
You seem upset.

I have a reason.

Tomorrow Ricardo of Villareal marries
his cousin Blanca Rodriguez.

Ah, so that's it.

If only I could count on your
indulgent goodwill...

it would not be the first time
that a bride was kidnapped

on the eve of her wedding.

The name of Villareal stained
by a kidnapping.

Some 80 miles from here,
on the road to San Vincente,

there is a monastery.

Yes, the Abbey of Madras.

Just so.

I think your young damsel might
find a place of refuge there.

Thank you, Highness.

Don't make a mess of it.

Don't worry. I will arrange things
perfectly.

You will need a pass for
yourself and another person.

From today, all routes through
Coimbra are controlled.

The exploits of this Zorro,

are beginning to catch the
imagination of the people.

Here we are. The names are
left blank. I leave that to you.

- Don't you recognise me?
I am Paquito!

Madre mia,
how you frightened me!

- Your Paquito will restore your
courage! - No, let me go!

What if someone saw us.

The Moon never spies on lovers!

Cheeky!

The door is already open, but
I recommend caution.

Don't worry, all will go well.

Let's go!

Gently, she's fainted.

Se�or Herrera!

Se�or Herrera!

Let's go!
We need to get well away!

Go!

What is happening?

What is it?

Quickly, come on!

There, you have nothing to fear.
You can carry on alone.

Thank you. Will you now
tell me your name?

Since I first saw you my
thoughts have been with you.

- Tell me who you are.
- I cannot.

Tomorrow I will marry a man
I do not love.

- But does he love you?
- He neither loves nor hates.

But maybe with time...

Perhaps... I sincerely hope so.

Now excuse me, I must leave you.

My life is bound to a cause that
impels me to leave immediately.

Goodbye, Blanca.
I will love you always.

Goodbye, Zorro.

As always, your brother is absent.

It is not easy to watch a woman
you love marry another.

What would you say if,
one day, I decided...

And who would be the victim?

- You.
- Depends on whether I want you.

Ricardo of Villareal, do you
wish to join in marriage

with Blanca Rodriguez,
here present beside you,

according to the rite of
our Holy Mother Church?

Yes.

Blanca Rodriguez , do you
wish to join in marriage

with Ricardo of Villareal,
here present beside you,

according to the rite of
our Holy Mother Church?

Yes...

Take her hand.

Your appearance is not
very encouraging

for a bride on her wedding day.

I will be an obedient and faithful
wife, you can't ask for more!

- A little more!
- What do you want? Love?

What have you done to merit that?

My dear, I am sorry to
disappoint you,

but I am an ordinary man, in me
is not the stuff of a hero.

Certainly. You leave the heroism
to others.

- Where were you when Zorro
risked his life for me? - Sleeping!

How was I to know there was

a group running around in the
night abducting women?

But Zorro knew, and was ready
to thwart the threat!

Such passion, Blanca!
You amaze me.

You speak of him with such
enthusiasm...

Perhaps a trifle excessively.

Forgive me, but I love you.

Yes, I know, it sounds ridiculous
coming from my mouth,

but it is the truth.

And I was hoping that, one day...

I arrived too late, evidently.

I will not expect from you
any sacrifice.

Others, however, do not
have to know.

As far as they are concerned,
we are perfectly happy.

A day will come, I am sure,
when you will open your eyes,

and perhaps love me for myself
and not just as a duty.

Goodnight, Blanca.

- The carriage is ready, Master.
- Good.

This pass will help us get
through the enemy lines.

Keep it safe.

Let's get to Manuel Garcia.

When we've got him to safety,
he can carry on alone

to unite with the
Grand Duchess Juana.

Quickly, help me get dressed.

< Checkpoint!

Halt!

Do you have a pass?

Free passage for Donna
Blanca Rodriguez

and Captain Miguel Herrera,
her escort.

Oh, excuse me! Love knows
no wars or borders!

< - Yours.

Let them through!

Away you go!

And up you get!

Must you always chew tobacco?

Eh, Paquito?

< - Congratulations!
- Thank you, thank you!

Halt!

Open up! Open up now!

< What d'you want?

Open up, or we'll knock
the door down!

Reverend Mother!

A group of men, perhaps soldiers,
demanding entrance!

Tell them no-one can violate
the peace of this sanctuary.

They said if we did not let them
in they would break down the door!

- Open it, then.
- Yes, Mother.

Sister Anna, gather the children
into the church.

Yes, Mother.

< Cover all the exits!
Each to their own post!

I protest against this act of violence!

Reverend Mother, address your
protests to whomever you want.

I am simply following orders.

We know that in this convent
is the Grand Duchess Elizabet.

In the name of the Grand Duke,
I order you to hand over the girl!

We house only those orphans
entrusted to us for their learning.

And, among them, there is no
Grand Duchess.

We shall see.

I don't know her, but I'll be
able to single her out.

My dear children,
do not be afraid.

No-one wants to do you harm.

We have brought you some
beautiful gifts.

Outside of these walls are
the sounds of conflict,

but here there is peace.

And now that the Grand
Duchess Juana is dead...

No!!!

Mummy, no!

Mummy!

You'll need to ask your
confessor for penance, Sister.

You shouldn't tell lies.

Well?

Nothing more stands in the way
of your coronation, Grand Duke.

- You were successful?
- Yes.

She was in that convent under
a false name.

But I was able to pick her
out of the crowd.

And here is the proof.

Elizabet, Grand Duchess
of Lusitania.

- Where have you put her?
- In the fortress at Barres.

Good. I will summon Juana
to the castle at Miras.

If she wants her daughter back,
she will have to abdicate!

May I ask your permission not
to accompany her?

Why?

I fear that a certain someone
might escape.

< Ah, I understand...

< In truth, Blanca of Villareal
is very beautiful.

< Very well, stay here.

- But there's someone here!
- Stop that!

- What d'you think you are doing?
- What if he heard what we said?

No, he is sleeping...
and then, he's such an idiot...

Let him sleep for now.
You can deal with him later.

I thank you, Gentlemen,
for rushing to my aid.

But now all is lost.

In order to get my daughter back,
I must abdicate.

My brother-in-law, Don Ramon,

has summoned me tomorrow
to the castle at Miras.

We will accompany you, and
will all die rather than...

No, it would be a useless sacrifice,
my friend.

Oh, Father Domenico!

Don Manuel, someone unknown
to me came to the castle,

and told me to deliver this note
to you.

Grand Duchess,
all hope is not lost.

''Gather as many men as you can"

"and bring them to the woods
at Miras tomorrow at dawn. Zorro''.

The man who saved you!

The man for whom
nothing is impossible!

Gentlemen, leave now and
gather as many men as you can.

- Do you not want to eat?
< - No!

But why not? It is so sweet
and really tasty!

No - no - and again, no!
Why are you keeping me here?

The country is in turmoil
and here you are safe.

Indeed, one day you will be
able to say to your Mummy

that I treated you well, no?

- If it had not been...

Now eat! If not, I will have to
take measures!

Enter!

Marquis Ricardo of Villareal
is here to see you, Sir.

- The Marquis? - Yes, Sir.
- But have him come in!

This is an unexpected pleasure!

- Ricardo di Villareal!
- Colonel!

I'm on my way to Pereira and,
in passing, I thought to greet you.

- You look very well. Why,
already you're grown up!

- Eh, yes!
- Your Father will be proud of you!

- My Father has his own ideas,
Colonel. - Oh, really.

I would like to offer you my
hospitality for a few days.

It doesn't often happen that
someone visits

who can relieve the monotony
of life in a fortress.

No, I can only chat for a while.
I want to be in Pereira tonight.

- Are you already married?
- Just the other day.

The other day? Oh, glory!

And already you're out and
about without the wife?

Colonel, try to understand...

Ah, all well and good...

- Then let's drink to your
happiness. - Thank you.

Your health, Colonel.

- Delicious!
- Eh...

< Paquito tells me that in Mexico
there are more men than women.

< It's certain the house is
dull without Marquis Ricardo

< and without Paquito.

If I were you, Se�ora

my husband wouldn't have
left on his own.

The Marquis had to go to Pereira

and, the way things are, he didn't
think it wise to travel with a woman.

The way things are?
That I don't understand!

It would be so nice to live in peace,
but, instead...

This morning a passer-by said
there'd been a fight,

and that Zorro is dead!

What did you say?

Well, it was not certain, but...

You carry on, I'll be right back.

I didn't know you were here.

I was coming for you.

I thought that, with your
husband's sudden departure,

you might be feeling lonely.

Even though I don't really believe
in your ostentatious happiness.

My relationship with Ricardo
concerns me alone.

Ah, yes? And that between
you and Zorro?

- What do you mean?
- I saw you just now.

The news of the probable
death of Zorro hit you badly.

I am grateful to him for
saving me from an outrage.

Between gratitude and love
is but a short step.

It is not to you that I have to
answer for my actions.

But no, it's impossible.
It's just your imagination.

And what of this that I found
in his closet?

I've passed a thousand times
before this portrait.

But I never noticed the symbol
- there on the ring.

- Ricardo has left?
- Yes, this morning, for Pereira.

For Pereira, you say?

But, on the road to Pereira,
there is the fortress of Barres.

And yesterday evening, he...
Goodbye, Francisca.

I hope I can get there in time.

Are you sure you wouldn't like
to stay here for a few days?

I have a wine cellar that's worth
- what it's worth...

And then I could have you
attend an historic event...

- And what's that?
< - What... what...

Marquis, a State secret!

Politics? I'm not interested.

Bless you that you can steer
clear of such.

I, on the other hand...

There are times when I still
aspire to become a General!

Cheers.

Cheers... cheers...

- Your health!
- Here's to you.

Ol�!

Bah, some young people today...

can't eat, can't drink, can't...

Quite right! The one thing that
drives them is ambition.

Come in!

Marquis. If you want to leave, Sir,
everything is ready.

Ah, what a pity!

- One last time, please stay!
- I'd really like to, Colonel.

Go now, Paquito,
I will join you presently.

Well, then... I will accompany you.

- It's been a wonderful evening!
- It certainly has.

You can go where you want.
I have to stay here, alone...

- I hope you'll honour me again.
- But, of course.

It will be my duty to pay homage
to General Vargas.

- General!
- Thank you, thank you!

- See you again! - I hope so!
- 'Til then!

General...

- Se�or, the window is that one
in the tower. - Thanks, Paquito!

< Open up, quickly! Open up!

- Give the password!
< - Ramon of Lusitania!

Dismount!

- Colonel Vargas?
- He is in his rooms.

Close the gate!
Let no-one leave.

- Colonel Vargas!
- Captain!

The Marquis of Villareal?

He's just left.

I was not mistaken.
And the prisoner?

In her room, well guarded.

- Let's make sure.
- Why?

- The Marquis has it in mind to
kidnap little Elizabet. - Who?

That jovial fellow!

That jovial fellow and Zorro
are the same person!

Zorro? Zorro?
Alarm! Alarm!

- I have sounded the alarm.
- As Zorro will have heard!

Damnation!

Come on! Get on with it!

Lively, now! Follow him!

Confound it!

Disarm him!

- Kick it in!
- Put your backs into it!

Who are you?

Don't be frightened, I am a friend!

I will get you out of here, Highness.

Ricardo of Villareal,
for you it's over!

- Don't be afraid!
- B-but I'm n-not afraid...

Surrender yourself, there is
no escape! You are trapped!

- Don't look down, Highness.

Come, grab hold of me.
Don't be timid.

You will be fine!
So, hang on!

Hold tight!

Kick down this door!

Hurry, Master!

- Close your eyes, Highness!

- I'm frightened!
- Hold tight!

Harder!

< More force, you lazy
good-for-nothings!

Curses!

Watch out!

Quickly! Climb up!

Up there! Climb!

Courage! Up there!

With me!

- Paquito!

Quickly! They are after us!

They can't easily get out
of the fortress!

Away we go!

- Mount up!
- My horse!

Open the gate!

Quickly, you idiot! Open up!

It is barred from the outside!

Open it just the same!
Smash it down!

Go! Go!

Why won't you let me see
your face?

Because I am ugly, very ugly.

< Se�or, all is well! We already
have a good advantage!

Where are we going now?

- I am taking you to your Mummy.
- Oh, thank you!

- Open it wide!
- At a gallop!

Catch him!

Get to the others in the woods.
Then make for the castle at Miras.

- Be quick. Off you go, Paquito!
< - Very well, Master!

It's not for me to raise questions,
Highness,

but what will happen
if your sister-in-law

refuses to sign the abdication?

That won't happen!

But this waiting annoys me,
she should have been here!

Let's get on with it!

Remember that we are
on neutral ground.

Thanks to your forethought.

Do not doubt it, Highness.

We love this country.

Its peace and prosperity are
close to our heart.

For this reason, we must
invoke an Act that,

even though it be distasteful,

is essential for the affirmation
of our position.

Your daughter Elizabet is
in our hands.

And this is our proof of it.

Abdicate your position; and
you may live as

sister-in-law and niece of
the Grand Duke of Lusitania.

And if I refuse?

If you refuse, your daughter
will be sent to distant America,

as a commoner.

In time she will forget her
true background

and you will never see her again.

To arms! To arms!

Go defend us!

Oh, quickly! They are
overwhelming us!

Hurry!
Advise the Grand Duke!

Run! Make it quick!

...renouncing
the Throne of Lusitania.

The rights that you have
hitherto held in...

Enough of this!
If you will just sign!

The girl! Take her!

< Get her!

Take shelter, Highness!

Come on!

Follow me!

Come, Highness!

- Mummy! Mummy!
- My treasure!

This is not the last word!

Too late!
The people are with us!

All of Lusitania is in revolt!

Hurrah!

Thank you, Zorro!

I could have you stand trial
for high treason,

but I cannot forget that you are
the brother of the late Grand Duke,

my husband.

You will live in exile in our
castle at Camberras.

And you will stay there until
I decide otherwise.

And you
- my friend and our saviour,

let me see your face and
know your name.

Highness, allow me to retain
my anonymity.

If you knew who I am,
you would reward me,

and Zorro does not want
to be rewarded.

But can I at least give you a kiss?

Yes, Highness.

Between ourselves, can you
tell me your name?

My name... is Zorro.

- Consuelo?

Consuelo!

It's useless to seek her,
I told them to leave.

You, here!

I could not resist the desire
to see you again,

to speak with you.

It is better that you go, now
that it is no longer possible!

Why?

I am married.

Is that important? A carriage
awaits us, let's forget everything!

No, I am married, Zorro...
it is no longer possible.

Ours was a beautiful dream,
but all dreams must end.

I pray you, leave now and
don't ever come back.

And yet I told you that one day
you would feel love for me

- and not just duty!
- Ricardo!

- Let me go! - Why won't you
even give me a kiss now?

That was before I knew
you lied to me.

Look, even the Master has lied,
and yet...

But they... they are married.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard
to find a priest.

Paquito!

You fooled me in every way:
your gestures, your voice...

Why? Why didn't you tell me
it was you?
