00:00Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, comes a horseman known as Zorro.
00:13This bold renegade carves a Z with his blade, a Z that stands for Zorro.
00:23Zorro, the fox so cunning and free.
00:30Zorro, who makes the sleight of the sea.
00:36Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:00Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:06I am Alejandro de la Vega and I have come to see Senora and Senorita Torres being held here as prisoners.
01:12I am sorry, Senor. It is the order of the Comandante that no one speaks to the prisoners.
01:17Kindly inform the Comandante that this is not the request. It is a demand for legal rights of visitation.
01:22And it is further charged that Senora and Senorita Torres did knowingly and willfully conspire to defy the legal representatives of the King's army and to...
01:37Who is it?
01:38It is only me, Sergeant Garcia, Capitan.
01:41Come in, Sergeant.
01:45Don Alejandro de la Vega is outside the gate. He demands to see the prisoners, Senora and Senorita Torres.
01:51You have your order, Sergeant.
01:52I know, Capitan, but he will not take no for an answer. He insists.
01:56Who gives the orders here? The Comandante or Don Alejandro?
01:59Don Alejandro is a very influential man, Capitan. He is not to be slighted. It would not be wise.
02:04This is legal advice, licenciado? The Comandante should take orders from any ranchero comes falling on the gates?
02:12Don Alejandro is not merely a ranchero and this is not legal advice.
02:15It is the advice of one who has lived long with these people and who understands them.
02:18In that case, we shall employ the plan I discussed earlier.
02:24Sergeant, hurry, apologize to Don Alejandro for the delay and show him to the prisoners and be sure you do.
02:30Apologize? To Don Alejandro? Are you serious, Capitan?
02:36Even when I explain it to you in simple words, you do not understand.
02:39Of course I do.
02:40Do as you are told.
02:42Oh, and clear the yard. I want the lances sent to their barracks.
02:48Corporal Sanchez.
02:51Come in.
02:57I have a little job for you, Corporal.
03:00I am very sorry, Don Alejandro, to keep you waiting. Guard, open this cell door.
03:05I told the Comandante, I said, Comandante, you should not keep Don Alejandro waiting.
03:10That is what I said, my very words.
03:11I...
03:14How nice of you to come and see us, Don Alejandro.
03:16I have come to learn what you want, what you need to make you stay in this foul place more endurable.
03:21But we need nothing, Don Alejandro. The Comandante has been most generous to us.
03:25I did not hope to hear such welcome news when I came here today.
03:29It is almost as welcome as the news I bring to you.
03:32You bring welcome news, Don Alejandro?
03:37I have decided to listen to my son, Diego, and an idea he has often expressed.
03:41I am going to ask a number of the larger landholders to attend a secret meeting at my hacienda this very day.
03:47This may be the beginning of the end for tyranny.
03:49Guard!
04:11You who are gathered here are among the great landholders of the area.
04:14I suggest that you go forth, talk to the other landholders, get them to stand and join together.
04:20United, you can ask for the dismissal of Maristario and the governor, the viceroy, even the king will listen.
04:27My apologies for being late, senores, but there is something you want to hear.
04:40Tell them what you told me.
04:42This licenciado Pina, the lawyer fellow, he told the women that the Comandante had captured Senor Torres and was holding him prisoner.
04:51He told them that the captain would give Senor Torres 50 lashes, 50 lashes, if they complained of their treatment.
05:02That is why they told you that the Comandante is giving them the proper care.
05:07I could not believe it even as I heard it.
05:10Jose, take him to the stables. Let him sleep at all.
05:15Those poor gentle souls. They have neither proper food nor proper care. They are treated worse than dogs in the streets.
05:22May I propound the question for the senores?
05:24You know now what is happening to Senora and Senorita Torres, two proud and gentle Spanish women who have been our friends and neighbors.
05:29What do we propose to do about it?
05:32What would Don Alejandro suggest?
05:34I suggest the only decent and honorable thing we can do.
05:37Let us go forth and demand the release of those two gentle women here and now.
05:40Let us back to the man with force if necessary.
05:42One moment, father. You speak of force.
05:45Well, what force do you have against the bulwark of the quartel and the soldiers manning it?
05:49When the gauntlet is flung into your face, you do not stop to appraise your weapons.
05:53You will be marching to your death.
05:55Sometimes it is better to die like a man than to live like a coward.
05:58Now listen to me. I agree with Don Alejandro. The time has come for action. The time for talk is past.
06:04But I also agree with Don Diego of what use is it to go down and chop at the gates of the quartel with our sword to march like lambs to the slaughter.
06:12Let us formulate a plan. Let us use wisdom as well as courage.
06:18It is not so easy to get within the gates of the quartel now that the commandante has closed it.
06:24Nor is it so difficult. I was admitted just today.
06:26Si, si. Now this is the beginning of a plan. Maybe they will open the gates once more for Don Alejandro.
06:33And then when the gates are open, the rest of you could rush in. Si, si. We have to be most careful so that the guard does not suspect our purpose ahead of time.
06:40Now, as soon as it is dark, we will ride to the plaza each by a separate route arrive at different times. Do not look as if anything is planned.
06:46We can be strolling towards the inn or waiting in our carriages.
06:52You understand the plan? Then it is agreed.
06:54Wait, senores, allow me a few words of reason. Just one minute of your time is all I ask.
07:01Please senores, I beg of you. Reconsider this rash action. You are guided by passion, not logic.
07:06If you rush the quartel in this manner, you will be annihilated, branded insurgents, enemies of the king.
07:14Why, the commandante may even be commended for his victory.
07:18So I ask you gentlemen, please, have patience.
07:22Why ride to your death when you can live and work for freedom?
07:27I know, patience now is a bitter thing.
07:31But it will bear a sweet fruit.
07:33There may be a day to talk of patience and logic and the fruit that is sweet.
07:38But my thoughts remain with those two poor gentlewomen in that foul jail.
07:42Lord Diego, my heart is too full to hold anything else.
07:45I could not sleep in my bed tonight and think of those poor souls denied even a blanket between them.
07:52We have wasted enough time. We must start now to put our plan into action.
07:56Excuse me, Diego.
08:15I was standing at the window and I heard them plot it all, me Capitan. I heard every word of it.
08:21Stupid fool. Why did you not remain there? To be sure you had the names of all who attended.
08:26There were two you did not recognize.
08:28I dared not expose myself.
08:29Very well, it is of no consequence. I will have a trap all set for them when they arrive.
08:38Sergeant Garcia.
08:40Yes, Capitan.
08:41Sound the alarm. Prepare for a surprise attack on the quartel.
08:44Capitan, would it be out of order to ask who is going to attack us?
08:49What difference does it make? Do as you are told.
08:51Si, Comandante.
09:03Father, I implore you, please, do not do such a foolish thing.
09:07I cannot stand here and debate with you.
09:10They are depending upon me to open the gates of the quartel.
09:13Do you ride with me or do I ride alone?
09:15But won't you listen to reason?
09:16You are not only going to your own death, but those who ride with you will die too.
09:20Do you choose to remain here?
09:26For a few minutes tonight, I almost felt what it is like for a father to be proud of his son.
09:41Come, we have little time.
09:46I have one chance left.
09:53I will rouse the quartel and lead the soldiers on a chase through the hills.
09:57With fewer men, Monastario might be more willing to listen to my father.
10:01Less eager to give battle.
10:03Hurry ahead and make sure the tornado is ready.
10:16Let's go.
10:17Let's go.
10:18Let's go.
10:19Let's go.
10:45Well, Sergeant, are the men all properly hidden?
10:47Yes, Captain.
10:49I think so.
10:51I did not ask what you think.
10:52Do you not know?
10:54Well...
10:56I have looked.
10:58I cannot see them.
11:00Did you see me just now?
11:02Would they be well hidden if you could see them?
11:06With my own eyes, I have not seen them.
11:08Good.
11:09See that they remain well hidden until after the dons have rushed inside the gates and the gates have been closed behind them.
11:16Do they understand this?
11:17Oh, si, Comandante.
11:18Si.
11:19There was always one fool who moves too soon.
11:21Betrays the plot before the proper time.
11:24Tell them I will have that man's ears.
11:27Oh, no, Comandante.
11:28I have taken a special precaution.
11:31I have instructed each man not to move until all the others have moved first.
11:36Good.
11:38Oof.
11:43This is the Comandante speaking.
11:46This is an order.
11:47It is not to be disobeyed.
11:49Remain where you are.
11:50Remain hidden.
11:52Make no move.
11:53Make no sound.
11:54Until I personally give the order to attack.
11:57Do you understand?
11:59Well, do you understand?
12:00The Capitan just ordered them to make no sound.
12:04All right then.
12:05See that you obey it from now on.
12:08No matter what happens.
12:10No matter who charges into the cartel to attack us.
12:13No matter what you see or what you hear.
12:15Make no move.
12:16Make no sound.
12:17Until I personally give the order to attack.
12:21Did you understand, Sergeant?
12:23Well, answer me.
12:24Si, Comandante.
12:25Silence!
12:26Didn't you hear my orders?
12:27Si.
12:30It is the hour of pain,
12:32a warm and,
12:33a warm and small
12:35safe lass.
12:36So I'll do this to him.
12:38Now, come on.
12:39I'll do this to the liquor store.
12:40Did you hear my orders?
12:42No matter what to do.
12:43You know I'll do it.
12:44No matter what to do,
12:45you know what to do.
12:46No matter who the car is.
12:48Yes, I'll do it.
12:49No matter who can.
12:51You know I'm gonna do it.
12:52It is the hour of pain
12:53a warm and warm
12:57and warm tea,
12:58a warm and quiet night, and all is well.
13:28Oh, no, no, no, no.
13:58What is going on?
14:09Throw the pistol away.
14:12Get rid of it.
14:28This is an unexpected pleasure, Comandante.
14:30I hardly hope to find you alone.
14:33Soon you will find out if I am alone.
14:53Where are all your soldiers, Monastario?
14:55Don't worry. At the proper time, you will see them.
15:13Lancers, attack, attack. This is an order.
15:15It's Zoro. Capture him.
15:19Zoro, attack.
15:25Get out of the way, Lancers.
15:30Please!
15:45All of you, you will have to escape.
15:47I'll close all of you!
15:51You'll let Zorro escape!
15:55Too hard, lancers! Too hard!
15:57After him! Open the gates!
15:59We are going outside!
16:00Stop! Keep those gates closed!
16:03But, Capitan, how can we go outside if the gates are closed?
16:05Do you not realize why Zorro is here?
16:08He wants us to pursue him.
16:09The soldiers would all be gone.
16:11Who would be left to defend the quartel when they don't search the gates?
16:15You will be here, Capitan.
16:16A brilliant piece of deduction.
16:18Fortunately, I have a plan.
16:21Take part of the lancers and start off after Zorro, but do not follow him far.
16:25Circle back and approach the plaza from the far side.
16:28When the dons rush the gates, they will be trapped between two forces.
16:32They will have no escape then.
16:35The Capitan always thinks of everything.
16:37Of course!
16:39You, you and you, mount up and follow me!
16:46Looking for me, Morastadio? Here I am!
17:16This is far enough. We go back.
17:25You call yourself soldiers? And yet you are afraid of one man. Are you also afraid of the dark?
17:30We are not afraid of anything.
17:31Then why do you turn and run?
17:32We merely follow orders.
17:33This I do not believe. You are a big fat pig. Too lazy to ride and too afraid to fight.
17:35Just wait. Just wait. Just wait, Senor Zorro. Someday I will show you.
17:40I am not the kind of big fat pig that is afraid to fight. I am the kind of big fat pig that is afraid to fight.
18:02Senor Zorro, someday I will show you I am not the kind of big fat pig that is afraid to fight.
18:08I am the kind of big fat pig.
18:14I challenge you.
18:25The only explanation is that they are on to their plan.
18:29We've got to warn them.
18:32We've got to warn them.
18:56I know it is late, but I must see the Comandante.
18:59It is urgent.
18:59all right open the gates but make sure nothing arouses their suspicions until they are well
19:21inside sergeant garcia and his men should be in position for the trap but i want none of the dons
19:26taken alive let them die like the traitors they are now go quickly
19:56the lanterns are back this is an order surround those prisoners

23:48I would dream that my son would come back from Spain and he would be like you.
23:56Now that you are so close, it is so much like my dreams.
24:03I feel almost that I could pull aside the mask and there would be the face of my son, Diego.
24:14I would not pull away the mask.
24:16I would not have the courage.
24:20An old man must cling to his dreams as desperately as he clings to life.
24:31You will have many years left, my father, to live and dream.
24:46Next week, Monastario takes over the De La Vega Hacienda in his desperate search for the wounded Alejandro.
25:01Watch Zorro ride to this fighting Don's rescue and lead the Commandante on a wild chase along El Camino Real.
