Short filmTranscript
00:04Out 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 sign of the Z.
00:35Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:07I'm Alejandro de la Vega, and I've 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.
01:27And it is further charged that Senora and Senorita Torres did knowingly and willfully conspire to defy the legal representatives
01:34of the King's army and to...
01:37Who is it?
01:38It is only me, Sergeant Garcia, Capitan.
01:41Come in, Sergeant.
01:44Don Alejandro de la Vega is outside the gate. He demands to see the prisoners, Senora and Senorita Torres.
01:50You have your order, Sergeant.
01:51I know, Capitan, but he will not take no for an answer. He insists.
01:56Who gives the orders here, the Comandante or Don Alejandro?
01:58Don Alejandro is a very influential man, Capitan. He is not to be slighted. It would not be wise.
02:04This is legal advice, licenciado?
02:07The Comandante should take orders from any ranchero who comes pounding on the gates.
02:11Don Alejandro is not merely a ranchero, and this is not legal advice.
02:14It is the advice of one who has lived long with these people and who understands them.
02:20In that case, we shall employ the plan that discussed earlier.
02:24Sergeant, sorry, apologize to Don Alejandro for the delay and show him to the prisoners. And be sure you do.
02:31Apologize? To Don Alejandro? Are you serious, Capitan?
02:35Even when I explain it to you in simple words, you do not understand.
02:39Of course I do, yes.
02:40Do as you are told.
02:41Si, Capitan.
02:42Owen, clear the yard. I want the lances sent to their barracks.
02:47Corporal Sanchez.
02:51Come in.
02:56I have a little job for you, Corporal.
02:59I'm very sorry, Don Alejandro, to keep you waiting. Guard, open this cell door.
03:04I told the Comandante, I said, Comandante, you should not keep Don Alejandro waiting.
03:09That's what I said, my very words.
03:12I...
03:14How nice of you to come and see us, Don Alejandro.
03:16I have come to learn what you want.
03:18What you need to make you stay in this foul place more endurable.
03:20But we need nothing, Don Alejandro. The Comandante has been most generous to us.
03:26I 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?
03:36I have decided to listen to my son, Diego, and an idea he has often expressed.
03:41I'm going to ask a number of the larger landholders to attend a secret meeting at my hacienda this very
03:46day.
03:47This may be the beginning of the end for tyranny.
03:50Uh, guard.
04:10You 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 Morastario and the governor, the viceroy, even the king will listen.
04:35My apologies for being late, senores, but there is something you want to hear.
04:39Tell them what you told me.
04:42This licenciado Piña, the lawyer fellow, he told the women that the comandante had captured senor Torres and was holding
04:50him 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.
05:08I could not believe it even as I heard it.
05:10Jose, take him to the stables. Let him sleep at all.
05:13Gracias, senor. Gracias.
05:15Those poor gentle souls.
05:17They have neither proper food nor proper care.
05:19They are treated worse than dogs in the streets.
05:21May I propound the question for the senores?
05:24You know now what is happening to senora and senorita Torres,
05:27two proud and gentle Spanish women who have been our friends and neighbors.
05:30What do we propose to do about it?
05:31What would Don Alejandro suggest?
05:33I suggest the only decent and honorable thing we can do.
05:36Let us go forth and demand the release of those two gentle women here and now.
05:40Let us back the demand 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?
05:48When 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.
06:01The time has come for action. The time for talk is past.
06:04But I also agree with Don Diego.
06:06Of what use is it to go down and chop at the gates of the quartel with our sword
06:10to march like lambs to the slaughter.
06:12Let us formulate a plan. Let us use wisdom as well as courage.
06:17It is not so easy to get within the gates of the quartel now that the commandante has closed it.
06:23Nor is it so difficult. I was admitted just today.
06:26Si, si. Now this is the beginning of a plan.
06:29Maybe they will open the gates once more for Don Alejandro.
06:32And then when the gates are open, the rest of you could rush in.
06:35Si, si. We have to be most careful so that the guard does not suspect our purpose ahead of time.
06:41Now, as soon as it is done, we will ride to the plaza each by a separate route arrive at
06:46different times.
06:46Do not look as if anything is planned.
06:48We can be strolling towards the inn or waiting in our carriages.
06:52You understand the plan? Then it is agreed.
06:56Wait, 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.
07:05You are guided by passion, not logic.
07:07If you rush the quartel in this manner, you will be annihilated, branded insurgents, enemies of the king.
07:14Why, the comandante may even be commended for his victory.
07:17So I ask you, gentlemen, please, have patience.
07:22Why ride to your deaths when you can live and work for freedom?
07:26I know patience now is a bitter thing, but it will bear a sweet fruit.
07:33There may be a day to talk of patience and logic and the fruit that is sweet,
07:37but my thoughts remain with those two poor gentlewomen in that foul jail.
07:42No, 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.
07:51We have wasted enough time. We must start now to put our plan into action.
07:56Excuse me, Diego.
08:16I was standing at the window and I heard them plotting 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.
08:25There were two you did not recognize? I 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?
08:48What difference does it make? Do as you are told.
08:51See, Comandante.
09:03Father, I implore you, please, do not do such a foolish thing.
09:07I cannot stand here and debate with you.
09:09They are depending upon me to open the gates of the quartel.
09:12Do you ride with me or do I ride alone?
09:14But 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.
09:19Do 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
09:31son.
09:41Come, we have little time.
09:52I 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, less eager to give battle.
10:01Hurry ahead and make sure the tornado is ready.
10:23Hurry.
10:29Hurry.
10:30Hurry.
10:44Well, Sergeant, are the men all properly hidden?
10:47Si, Capitan, I... I think so.
10:50I did not ask what you think. Do you not know?
10:54Well...
10:55No, Comandante, I... I have looked. I... I cannot see them.
10:59Did you see me just now?
11:01Would they be well hidden if you could see them?
11:06With my own eyes, I have not seen them.
11:09Good. See that they remain well hidden
11:11until after the dons have rushed inside the gates
11:13and the gates have been closed behind them.
11:16Do they understand this?
11:17Oh, si, Comandante, si.
11:19There was always one fool who moves too soon.
11:21Betrays the plot before the proper time.
11:23Tell them I will have that man's ears.
11:26Oh, no, Comandante. I... I have taken a special precaution.
11:30I have instructed each man not to move
11:33until all the others have moved first.
11:36Good.
11:37Ooh!
11:42This is the Comandante speaking.
11:45This is an order. It is not to be disobeyed.
11:48Remain where you are. Remain hidden.
11:51Make no move, make no sound
11:53until I personally give the order to attack.
11:56Do you understand?
11:58Well, do you understand?
11:59Well, do you understand?
12:00The Capitan just ordered them to make no sound.
12:03All right, then.
12:05See that you obey it from now on.
12:07No matter what happens.
12:09No matter who charges into the cartel to attack us.
12:12No matter what you see or what you hear.
12:15Make no move, make no sound
12:17until I personally give the order to attack.
12:21Did you understand, Sergeant?
12:23Well, answer me.
12:24Well, see, Comandante.
12:25Silence!
12:26Didn't you hear my orders?
12:27See.
12:55Silence!
12:56It is the hour of pain.
12:58A warm and quiet night.
13:01And all is well.
13:12One high tornado.
13:25One high tornado.
13:26Some high tornadoes.
13:27One high tornado.
13:49No!
14:07What is going on?
14:09Zorro!
14:10Throw the pistol away.
14:12Get rid of it!
14:28This is an unexpected pleasure, Commandant.
14:30I hardly hope to find you alone.
14:32Ah!
14:33Soon you will find out if I am alone.
14:38Ah!
14:40Ah!
14:40Ah!
14:41Ah!
14:41Ah!
14:48Ah!
14:53Ah!
14:53Where do all your soldiers want to start you?
14:55Don't worry.
14:56At the proper time, you will see them.
14:59Ah!
15:03Ah!
15:08Ah!
15:10Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:13Act!
15:14This is an order!
15:15It is Zorro.
15:17Capture him!
15:19Zorro!
15:20Act!
15:28Capture him!
15:29Follow your latchers!
15:30Shoot!
15:41Get out of the way, lancers! Please!
15:44Stop! Move!
15:48Oh, stupid fools! All of you!
15:51You'll let Zorro escape!
15:55To horse, lancers! To horse!
15:57After him! Open the gates! We are going outside!
16:00Stop! Keep those gates closed!
16:02But, Capitan, how can we go outside if the gates are closed?
16:05Do you not realize why Zorro is here?
16:07He wants us to pursue him. The soldiers would all be gone.
16:11Who would be left to defend the quartel when the dons rush the gates?
16:14You will be here, Capitan.
16:16Oh, brilliant piece of deduction. Fortunately, I have a plan.
16:21Take part of the lancers and start off after Zorro,
16:23but 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!
16:48Looking for me, Morastario? Here I am!
17:24This is far enough. We go back.
17:37Sergeant Garcia!
17:41You call yourself soldiers? And yet you're afraid of one man.
17:45Are you also afraid of the dark?
17:47We are not afraid of anything.
17:49Then why do you turn and run?
17:51We merely follow orders.
17:53This I do not believe.
17:55You're a big fat pig.
17:56Too lazy to ride and too afraid to fight.
17:59Just wait.
18:01Just wait, Senor Zorro.
18:03Someday I will show you.
18:04I am not the kind of big fat pig that is afraid to fight.
18:08I am the kind of big fat pig.
18:13I challenge you!
18:25The only explanation is that they are on to their plan.
18:28We've got to warn them.
18:56I know it is late, but I must see the Comandante. It is urgent.
19:16All right. Open the gates.
19:18But make sure nothing arouses their suspicions until they are well inside.
19:22Sergeant Garcia and his men should be in position for the trap.
19:25But I want none of the Dons taken alive.
19:27Let them die like the traitors they are.
19:29Now go quickly.
19:42Let them die.
19:44Let them die.
19:45Let them die.
19:47Look back, look at the lantern.
19:54Outside, Donato.
19:58The lanterns are back. This is an order. Surround those prisoners.
20:08Don't escape me this time, Don Alejandro.
20:17No!
20:33Pull the carriage away!
20:35Pull him!
20:40After him, after him!
20:44You have to come get away!
20:46Look out, you bully!
20:50Shoot, you fool, shoot!
20:56Get away after him!
20:59Idiots!
21:00Shoot, shoot!
21:09Quick, pursue him!
21:21Too harsh, lancers! Open the gate!
21:23No, wait, wait!
21:25Is it all right now, mi capitán, if we open the gate?
21:28Get out of my sight!
21:30Si, comandante!
21:31Out up, lancers, and follow me!
21:46Ha!
21:48Ha!
21:51Ha!
21:55Ha!
21:57Ha!
22:03Let's go.
22:39Ah, he is nowhere.
22:51He must be hiding somewhere in the rocks behind us. Follow me.
23:07Go to another. Lead him away from us.
23:12There he goes! After him!
23:23It is strange. So strange.
23:29It is almost as if I had known you.
23:35You seem so much like someone I know.
23:41I have a foolish old man with foolish dreams.
23:46So often have I dreamed 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.
24:02I feel almost that I could pull aside the mask.
24:06And there would be the face of my son, Diego.
24:14I would not pull away the mask.
24:17I would not have the courage.
24:20An old man must cling to his dreams.
24:24As desperately as he claims to life.
24:31You will have many years left, my father, to live and dream.
24:55Next week, Monestario takes over the De La Vega Hacienda in his desperate search for the wounded Alejandro.
25:05Watch Zorro ride to this fighting Don's rescue.
25:08And lead the Commandante on a wild chase along El Camino Real.
25:12Next week, when the Walt Disney Studio brings you another exciting episode of Zorro!
25:41The End
25:44You
