“Zorro (1957) is the classic television adventure series from Walt Disney Productions set in 1820s Spanish California. Don Diego de la Vega returns home and cloaks himself as the masked hero Zorro to fight tyranny, protect the downtrodden, and ride into legend amid haciendas, missions and midnight gallops. With swords flashing, secret passages and a faithful ally in Bernardo, this series weaves heroism, romance and justice into an enduring saga.”
00:00Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, comes a horseman known as Zorro.
00:14This bold renegade carves a Z with his blade, a Z that stands for Zorro.
00:21Zorro, the fox so cunning and free, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea.
00:35Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
00:51You speak miserable wretch? Where are the others hiding? Ben Lash is more.
00:55Forgive me, Commandante, but this Indian will die before he betrays his own people.
00:59You think so, huh? All right, leave me alone with him.
01:02Please, for your own sake, tell the Capitan what he wishes to know.
01:08A donkey brain of a sergeant is right. You would die before revealing any information.
01:12But I want no information from you, only your silence. You have a family. You want to see them again?
01:18I'm going to take you back to the mission. I shall tell that stubborn padre a few harmless tales.
01:24If you deny them, if you so much as open your mouth in protest, you will never see your family again. Understand?
01:32Sergeant Garcia, the prisoner has just made a full confession.
01:36Yes?
01:37Order the Lancers out. You ride to the mission immediately and have them prepare for combat.
01:41Combat?
01:43Full fighting equipment, Baboso. We ride for king and country.
01:46Yes, Capitan.
01:47We're done.
01:48Lancers, we've got to be party immediately!
01:54No, Bernardo, you've got to try harder. I never yet knew a Spaniard who couldn't learn how to play the guitar.
01:59Now, watch here. The finger's here.
02:04Now, you try. Here, we sit down. It's easier. Here.
02:17Now, you mustn't give up. If you're ever going to cover for me when I'm out riding a Zorro, it must sound as if I'm here practicing. Now, go on. You'll get it.
02:26Never mind. I must ride to the mission to make sure that Don Nacho got away safely. Now, you just keep practicing, eh?
02:40Yeah, I'm so glad it is you. I was afraid it is you, I was afraid you've got to try it.
02:47I'm so glad it is you. I was afraid Captain Monastario might have returned.
03:12Are your Indians still hiding in the hills?
03:14Yes, but they'll come back when the danger is over.
03:16Has Don Nacho left?
03:17Not yet. I'm keeping him here until everything is safe.
03:20You may come out, Don Nacho. It is Diego de la Vega.
03:23Diego, my friend. Good to see you.
03:25I don't believe you should wait too long to set up for Monterrey, Don Nacho.
03:34Quick, get back into the church.
03:37Sergeant Garcia, all sentries on every side. Keep a sharp watch.
03:41If you see anything suspicious, tell the men to shoot first and then ask questions.
03:44Ortega, bring the prisoner and come with me.
03:47Sergeant, surround the church. See that no one escapes.
03:51You don't suppose they've come to take Don Nacho by force?
03:54It appears that way.
03:56Buenos dias, Padre. Señor de la Vega.
03:58Señor de la Vega.
03:59I suppose you have returned with a new trick to break the law of sanctuary.
04:02Not at all. I've returned to protect church property and your lives.
04:06Against what?
04:07Against a surprise attack by the hostile Indians.
04:10But there are no hostile Indians here. They're all just like my children.
04:13You think so? Ortega, the prisoner.
04:18What have they done to you, Innocente?
04:20Be careful, Padre. This is a dangerous savage.
04:23He has just confessed that he and his people are planning to burn the mission and kill you.
04:27But that's impossible.
04:29Tell them what you have told me. Tell them.
04:32Are your people have planned revenge for a long time?
04:34Or they mean a strike on the cover of darkness?
04:36That's not true. Speak up, Innocente. Do not be afraid.
04:40Did you not admit that your leaders are planning to wipe out the whites in all their missions?
04:46You see? He dare not deny it.
04:48I have no choice but to place this mission under martial law.
04:52It's a shabby trick, Capitan Monastario.
04:54On the contrary. I'm merely performing my duty.
04:57You are beloved by all the people.
04:59I cannot risk leaving you unprotected when there is danger of a bloody massacre.
05:03Ortega, take the prisoner away.
05:05And guard him well.
05:08Padre, I formally declare this mission to be under my personal military command.
05:13You will provide sustenance and shelter for my Lancers where they are stationed there to protect you.
05:17And now, if you please, I shall select a private room for my headquarters.
05:21Sergeant Garcia, bring two guards and come with me.
05:24Excuse me, Padre.
05:31Padre, we must obey orders.
05:34Forgive me.
05:35It is quite obvious what the Comandante has in mind.
05:44Unable to get Don Nacho any other way, he now invents a false Indian uprising as an excuse to take over the mission.
05:50But as long as Don Nacho remains in search, he is still protected by sanctuary.
05:54True, but Capitan Monastario will keep him here.
05:57But how long can Don Nacho live without food or water?
05:59A vile deceit.
06:02I will speak to my father. He has a knowledge of the law.
06:04Perhaps we will find out that Monastario has no legal right to use military force in this case.
06:08Adios, Padre.
06:09Adios, Padre.
06:10Is my father at home?
06:29Is my father at home?
06:31No, it's just as well.
06:34Monastario and his Lancers have taken possession of the mission.
06:36They intend to start Don Nacho at a sanctuary.
06:39Tonight, you must lock yourself in my room and play the guitar as well as you can.
06:45Yes, and I must be back before my father misses me.
06:48Now go to the kitchen and have the cook prepare plenty of food for my saddlebag.
06:55Everything is quiet, Sorrento.
06:57Very well.
06:58I will relieve you while you have something to eat.
07:14One moment, Padre.
07:15You cannot keep me from going into my own church.
07:18I have no wish to stop you.
07:20However, Padre, I cannot allow you to take food and drink to a traitor.
07:25Very appetizing.
07:26I think I will enjoy this.
07:29You are heartless.
07:30At least let me take the water to quench the natural thirst.
07:33Let him drink the holy water.
07:35I trust there will be a specially warm place reserved for you in the hereafter.
07:39I am sorry.
07:51They will not allow me to bring anything to you.
07:53I am not hungry, Padre.
07:55But you must be thirsty.
07:56You have had nothing since early this morning.
07:58It does not matter.
07:59But there must be a way in which I could at least get water to you.
08:02Please, Padre, do not endanger yourself.
08:04I have caused you so much trouble now.
08:07I do not wish to cause more.
08:08I am sorry to broke your breath.
08:11I am sorry to blow your feet.
08:13Thank you, Padre.
08:13Thank you, Padre.
08:26There.
08:27There.

12:00Sergeant Garcia
12:01is brought into the cemetery!
12:03Capture him!
12:04Follow me!
12:05There he goes!
12:29After him!
12:35Zoro has outwitted you again!
12:56Garcia, stay with the guard!
13:05Lancers, to horse!
13:12Diego!
13:17Diego, stop that infernal noise and open the door!
13:32Diego!
13:39Diego, what is the matter with you?
13:41Unlock the door!
13:42Yes, father!
13:47The night wind sighs awake, my love!
13:54I was busy composing!
13:55Composing, you call it?
13:56I have never heard anything so terrible!
13:58Ah, but it turned out beautifully!
14:00Listen!
14:01The night wind sighs awake, my love!
14:05Please, please!
14:06That is enough!
14:07I do not wish to be awake!
14:08I would like to have some sleep!
14:09Oh, forgive me, father!
14:10I didn't know that you were in bed!
14:12If you got up as early as I do, perhaps you would retire at a decent hour!
14:16You're right!
14:17Maybe I'll do some reading!
14:18I'm afraid I will never be able to understand you, my son!
14:21Ever since you have come back from Spain, all you seem to think about is literature, music, painting!
14:25Father, that is my life!
14:27Just as yours is raising horses and breeding cattle!
14:30Yes!
14:31Well, everyone to his own taste!
14:33Good night, my son!
14:34Good night, father!
14:35Good night, father!
14:41It's close, eh?
14:42Yes, Zorro rode to the mission tonight on his errand of mercy, but Bonastario won!
14:47There were too many soldiers, they nearly caught me!
14:49Poor Don Nacho is going to have to suffer a while longer!
14:53The fox must use his wits next time, not his fangs!
14:56When Zorro rides again, he's going to have help.
15:00Your help!
15:05It is only I, Diego de la Vega. Come to see Padre Felipe.
15:12You must get permission first.
15:14Very well, where's the comandante?
15:16Sleeping. He was up all night chasing that elusive fox called Zorro.
15:20Sergeant Garcia is in charge.
15:22Where shall I find him?
15:23This mountain be searched and I shall take you to eat.
15:35Señor de la Vega request permission to see the priest, sir.
15:40Purpose of visit?
15:41I have an old manuscript here that Padre Felipe expressed a desire to see.
15:44Back to your post.
15:46Well, don Diego, may I see this document?
15:49Certainly.
15:54What is this secret writing?
15:56Oh, that is Latin, Sergeant.
15:59Of course, I know it's Latin. What does it say?
16:02Oh, I don't think you'd be interested. It's just an account of something rather strange that happened here many years ago.
16:08Strange? What was it?
16:10Well, some fanciful traveler's tale. You know how ghost stories turn into legends.
16:14Ghost stories?
16:15There's probably little basis for truth in it, but you see, this parchment seems authentic enough and that's why Padre Felipe wished to examine it.
16:22Tell me about it.
16:24All right.
16:26It seems that when this mission was built back in 1771, a band of savages struck in the dead of night.
16:33They captured an unfortunate monk and they tortured him until he went mad.
16:36He was tied to this very tree.
16:38Oh, of course, it was much smaller then.
16:41Ever since then, the legend goes, his ghost has haunted the mission on dark, moonless nights.
16:47The ghost of the mad monk?
16:50I'm surprised you never heard of it, Sergeant. The mission Indians claim to have seen it.
16:54But you know, of course, they're superstitious natives.
16:57What do they think they saw?
16:59A figure. A figure in a cowled robe, rising from the graves behind the church.
17:06And it moves along the corridors, moaning and clanking chains, sometimes emitting a ghoulish laugh.
17:14Oh, the rest is so fantastic, I don't think you'd be interested.
17:18Oh, go on, Don Diego. Please go on.
17:20It's really quite frightening. You promise you won't tell anyone?
17:23I promise.
17:25Well, the legend says that when the spirit walks, the church bell rings mysteriously at midnight.
17:33It is regarded as a warning of some dire event to come.
17:36A warning?
17:37An omen of death, like the hoot of an owl.
17:40Of course, you're much too enlightened to believe in those things.
17:44Oh, yes.
17:45What happens then?
17:47Well, the story goes on to say how the author came face to face with the mad monk one night under this very tree.
17:54This tree?
17:56And the ghost had no face.
17:58No face?
17:59No face.
18:00Ah.
18:01And then suddenly, the ghastly apparition vanished.
18:04And here the narrative ends abruptly.
18:07Except that the next morning, the ancient scribe was found lying here where you are.
18:13Stiff and stark.
18:19Dead?
18:20Exceedingly so.
18:21And that's it.
18:22Oh, Padre, I have this manuscript you requested.
18:27Manuscript?
18:28Come, let us go in your garden and we will discuss it.
18:39What about this manuscript?
18:41Nothing, just a pretext to get you alone.
18:43How's Don Nacho?
18:44Like Elijah in the wilderness and no ravens to feed him.
18:47And the Indian, innocente?
18:48No, he's still a prisoner locked up in the stone bodega behind the pepper tree.
18:52Padre, do you believe in intuition?
18:55I suppose I do.
18:56What does the goblin riding on your shoulder tell you?
18:59That this reign of terror will come to an end soon.
19:02Oremos.
19:03Oremos?
19:04Let us pray.
19:10Por favor, Sargento.
19:11You told the others about the ghost of the mad monk.
19:13Why not me?
19:14It is a foolish tale for old women and children.
19:17But I like tales like that.
19:20You promise not to be frightened.
19:22Ni, Sargento.
19:23I am a soldier.
19:25Well, it seems that when the church bell rings mysteriously at midnight, the phantom rises from its grave.
19:33It is almost midnight now.
19:35It is.
19:38Anyway, I am too enlightened to believe in such nonsense.
19:41Tell me what happens.
19:42I'm getting goose flesh already.
19:44Well, the figure walks through the corridors groaning and clanking chains.
19:51Sometimes it laughs ghoulishly.
19:53What is ghoulishly?
19:54Well, it's like a ghoul, stupid.
19:58What is that?
20:03Contreras, why did you sound the alarm?
20:06I did not ring the bell, Sargent.
20:08Someone did.
20:09Who is up there with you?
20:11No one, sir.
20:12It rang by itself.
20:14No one, sir.
20:21It rang again.
20:33There's something morning in the cemetery.
20:37Private Ortega, you go see what it is.
20:39Officer should lead, sir.
20:44Very well.
20:45We will go together.
20:55I see nothing.
20:57Look.
20:58Look.
20:59Yeah!
21:10What meaning of this?
21:11Who rang that bell?
21:14Well, answer me.
21:15We just saw the ghost.
21:16Ghost?
21:17What ghost?
21:18The ghost of the mad monk, sir.
21:19He had no face.
21:21I found that the ghost does not exist.
21:24Ortega remain on guard.
21:26You, show me where this ghost is.
21:32There, see for yourself.
21:38After him.
21:52What are you looking for?
21:55Were you walking in the cemetery just now, Padre?
21:58No.
21:59I was asleep.
22:00The ringing of the bell wakened me.
22:02Then go back to bed.
22:04Someone is playing tricks on us.
22:06And I think I know who it is.
22:21Come back to the service.
22:22Wait.
22:29John, shall I do after them, Capitan?
22:31How are you?
22:32There he is.
22:33Right after him.
22:43Well, where is he?
22:44I don't know, Capitan.
22:45He cannot just disappear in thin air.
22:47The legend says he does.
22:48Legend?
22:49What legend?
22:52The omen of death.
23:01The curse has come through.
23:03He is dead.
23:21You're free, inocente.
23:22Gracias, senor Sorro.
23:25Hey, wait for me, laster!
23:34Don't leave me!
23:35Wait for me, lancers! Don't leave me!
23:46I am wounded!
23:49Indians!
23:56They're attacking!
23:57We'll all be massacred!
23:58Back to the quartel!
24:01We've got it better than the last man!
24:03Shut up, you coward!
24:05Shut up, you coward!
24:21Close the door!
24:32Are you sure it's safe, Padre?
24:33Positive.
24:34Every soldier has deserted and I've locked the Comandante in for the night.
24:37So come and dine in peace before you set out for Monterrey.
24:40Tell me, Padre, what frightened them away?
24:43A small miracle that I strongly attribute to someone called sorrow.
24:47Be with us next week as Montestorio continues his efforts to become the richest man in California.
25:00Watch the battle of wits between Diego and the greedy Comandante.
25:04Laugh as Diego scuttles Garcia in the wine cellar.
25:07Laugh as Diego scuttles Garcia in the wine cellar.
