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.
00:24Zorro, the flock so cunning and free, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea.
00:37Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
00:42Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
00:48Dimitimus debitoribus nostris.
00:51De nos in dukans, endos.
00:57In paradiso, de dukante, ancebi.
01:01Young Ramos Santille cannot make up his mind whether to be stricken with anger or with grief.
01:08Poor boy, not a half hour ago the magistrado demanded the full tax due on the Rancho Santille.
01:14Demanded it before his father's funeral?
01:17But he must know he cannot pay.
01:19His excellency must do his duty, but at such a time.
01:42Never has to go.
01:43Hey.
01:55Poor Don Luis, is it true Don Diego that gambling killed him, he lost everything?
02:00Everything but his land.
02:01And who knows what kills a man, sergeant?
02:03And his son. Don Diego, you knew him in the university in Spain.
02:07Is he also a little wild?
02:08A little. He was thrown out of the university for gambling.
02:11Next to your father's, the Rancho Santil is the largest in the whole district.
02:15Without money, how can a boy like that run such a rancho?
02:19Remove your horse, senor!
02:21Excuse me, Don Diego.
02:33Eagle feather?
02:34Senor, this is a funeral procession. You should remove your horse. Go ahead, go ahead.
02:42You should also remove your hat.
02:44Will removing my hat bring the dead to life?
02:47No, but at least it shows a little respect.
02:49Why should I show respect for someone I do not know?
02:53It seems we have a philosopher in our midst, Sergeant.
02:55We do? Oh. What is a philosopher, Don Diego?
02:59Oh, someone that hardly anyone can understand.
03:01Oh. What is your name, senor?
03:04Carlos Urista.
03:06I am Garcia, Comandante of the Pueblo Garrison.
03:09Every stranger coming into the Pueblo must report to me.
03:12Why?
03:13Well, because it is customary.
03:15Besides, if you come from... or even if...
03:19You know why, Don Diego?
03:21Sergeant, I suggest you get on to the cemetery. Senor Urista can make his report after the funeral.
03:30I have a feeling he will be with us for some time.
03:33At least, senor, I must know where you are staying.
03:36Is there more than one tavern in this miserable Pueblo?
03:39No.
03:40Then I will be there.
03:40Oh.
03:48Now, this feather.
03:50I took this from Rojas' hand the day he was murdered.
03:54This one came from the Maestrado's messenger.
03:58Yes, I'm sure it contains a message.
04:00But if so, why would senor Urista wear it in plain sight?
04:06Perhaps he just likes feathers.
04:14I saw you come in.
04:16Diego, will you talk to Ramon?
04:17I tried to after the funeral.
04:19He was very rude.
04:20He seems to think that you are offering him some kind of charity.
04:23Tell him there is no disgrace in accepting help from friends.
04:26And no one holds him as fortune of his father against him.
04:29His pride proves he's made of good stuff, but he has never had to face responsibilities.
04:34It might help you too, Diego, if you would set him an example.
04:37And take a greater part in the affairs of the Pueblo to serve the community.
04:42A famous poet, Father, once said that they also serve who only stand and wait.
04:46I sent my only son away to military school, expecting they would send me back a fighter.
04:51I got a poet.
04:54Diego, my friend, for the last time, I want no help.
04:58I thank you, I thank your father, but I don't need it.
05:01I sold my cattle.
05:02Cleaned them out.
05:03Who bought them?
05:04Senor Urista.
05:05He's a businessman from Monterrey, I think.
05:08You sold him your entire herd, and yet you know nothing about him?
05:11What is the difference?
05:12His money is good.
05:13Eleven thousand pesos, enough to meet the maestrada's tax demands.
05:16If we had loaned you the money, you could have kept your herd.
05:19Now you have to start all over again.
05:21It will take time.
05:22I have time, I'm lucky.
05:25Well, at least let me buy you a dinner.
05:27You have eleven thousand pesos, so it cannot be charity.
05:34Please, Clara, have just one little drink with me.
05:37The innkeeper will not mind.
05:38I will pay for it.
05:40He minds that you have not paid what you already owe him.
05:46Ah, Don Diego.
05:47Well, Sergeant, good to see you.
05:49Senor Urista.
05:51Well, Senor Urista, I see you've been busy today.
05:54You've met Senor Barca.
05:55His Excellency introduced them.
05:56Oh, you are a friend of the King's Magistrate?
05:59Well, I'll be a friend.
06:01I've presented my credentials this afternoon.
06:03My business will keep me in this Pueblo for some time.
06:06Oh, I hear you in the cattle business, Senor.
06:09My business, Senor, is none of your business.
06:13Senor, I win again.
06:16If you will excuse me, I have an appointment.
06:20Of course.
06:21Senor.
06:22May I offer you gentlemen some excellent brandy?
06:25No, thank you.
06:26How can a man who has lost so much money still be so cheerful?
06:30What is money for, Sergeant?
06:32If you will not join me in a drink,
06:34perhaps you will join me in a game of brujon.
06:36Well, I have a dependable life.
06:38It satisfies all my needs.
06:39Why should I risk it gambling?
06:41I would be delighted.
06:42Diego, here's my chance to make up all the losses.
06:45This is your chance to lose everything you own.
06:47I'll lose it anyway.
06:48Without the herd, with no income,
06:49I couldn't hold the rancher past the next tax assessment.
06:52And I will not give off the pity of my father's friends.
06:55Look at the way he handles those cards.
06:56He's a professional.
06:58You forget, my friend.
06:59I have had some slight acquaintance with gambling myself.
07:03See you later, friend.
07:04Another bottle.
07:06And, Clara, later when you finish work,
07:09then will you sit with me for a little while?
07:11I will not sit with you now.
07:13I will not sit with you when I am finished.
07:14Not tomorrow or the day after.
07:16For the last time, I will not sit with you at all.
07:20I will finish what I was saying later.
07:22You are finished before you have started, Sergeant.
07:26Well, you're making progress, Sergeant.
07:28I remember when she would not even speak with you.
07:30I've been following your advice, Don Diego, at any rate.
07:33I've been taking the exercises.
07:35I do not seem to get any thinner.
07:38What about those other things I told you?
07:41Oh, you mean about not to eat so much.
07:44Or to drink so much.
07:45Oh, I do not drink so much.
07:46Only a little drop now and then to aid my digestion.
07:49What a digestion.
07:50He has had two dinners already tonight.
07:52I am a big man.
07:54My father was a big man.
07:55My mother was a big man.
07:56We are all big.
07:57I mean, I get hungry.
08:00Well, Sergeant, perhaps you had better stop the exercises.
08:03They only give you an appetite.
08:06Would you excuse me one moment?
08:18I see you have considerable skill with cards, Señor.
08:21You must take practice.
08:22Skill is something one is born with.
08:25Oh, I imagine you played well when you were a child.
08:30I do not know about your skill, Ramon, but someone once told me that brandy and cards do not mix.
08:36Oh, would you tell me something?
08:38I do not really understand this game.
08:40Is the object of this game to get several cards that are the same?
08:45Please, Señor, we must concentrate.
08:47Oh, I imagine it takes quite a bit of concentration to play this.
08:51Did you know something else?
08:53That the Arabs brought cards to us?
08:56I do not think the Arabs have any bearing on this game.
08:59Well, actually, I should not have said Arabs.
09:02I should have said Gypsies.
09:04The Gypsies brought cards from Egypt.
09:06They used them to tell fortunes with long before they were a game.
09:09I do not care who invented the game.
09:11I only want to play it.
09:12Well, I was not speaking of the game.
09:14I was speaking of the cards themselves.
09:16Do you know something?
09:18Very few people realize that Gypsies is a corruption of the word Egyptian.
09:26Well, it is obvious that these cards have nothing to do with your fortune, Ramon.
09:30Look what you've done talking all the time.
09:32Who can concentrate?
09:35Perhaps Senor Ulista would like to continue this game tomorrow?
09:39The friend is suggesting that you are no match for an expert player.
09:43Under such circumstances, of course,
09:44I will be glad to call off the game.
09:46I am perfectly capable of playing.
09:49Also, he is no longer my friend.
09:50Diego, will you please go?
09:52All right.
09:55Yo?
09:56Please, Dio.
09:57I double my bet.
10:01Don Diego, take some wine with us.
10:03Thank you, Sergeant.
10:04You are buying wine?
10:06Of course, but Don Diego is my guest.
10:08They dare not refuse me credit.
10:09I shall buy the wine.
10:11Oh, gracias, Don Diego.
10:13Clara, wine for Don Diego.
10:17What a woman.
10:19You know, Don Diego, I am still a young man.
10:22It is the time of life that I should get married and settle down.
10:25But no woman will take me seriously.
10:28It's not fair, Don Diego.
10:29I am.
10:30Maybe I am a little bit overweight.
10:33You know what they say.
10:35A fat man always has a good sense of humor.
10:37With a stomach like yours, you need a sense of humor.
10:40You are addressing your comandante.
10:42All right, Sergeant.
10:44Sergeant.
10:45Don Diego, it's no use.
10:46To my own men, I am only a little sergeant.
10:49Big fat sergeant.
10:51Well, Sergeant, perhaps the mistake in the thinking is that you only think of yourself as a sergeant.
10:57You must think of yourself as the comandante.
11:00A man is what he thinks.
11:02That is philosophy, Don Diego.
11:05I am what I think.
11:08I think I am the comandante.
11:14I'm comandante of the pueblo.
11:17I am because I think so.
11:20Every inch a handsome soldier, dream of hip and broad of shoulder.
11:24How do you know?
11:26Because I think so.
11:28Oh, oh, because he thinks so.
11:33I am the man who captures Oro.
11:36I am because I think so.
11:40Though the fox is very wily, I'll pursue him oh so slyly.
11:44How do you know?
11:45Because I think so.
11:47Oh, oh, because he thinks so.
11:51Now in battle, I have won so many medals that my chest can't hold another single one, I fear.
11:58The only kind of medal that you'll ever get will be for terrific speed and running to the rear.
12:04I am the man the ladies loves Oro.
12:08I am because I think so.
12:12Senoritas can't resist me.
12:14They're my slaves once they have kissed me.
12:16Now is that so?
12:17Because he thinks so?
12:19No, no, not till he shrinks so.
12:23No, no, not till he shrinks so.
12:27No.
12:29Wait, please.
12:30You have to give me a chance to get even.
12:32You have some more money?
12:33You have everything.
12:34I can lay my hands on 11,000 pesos.
12:36I would like to oblige you, but if you have nothing more to wager...
12:40I have something else.
12:42Clara, bring pen and paper, quick.
12:44Come on.
12:46Go home.
12:47You've learned a difficult lesson. Accept it and go home.
12:50I accept nothing.
12:51Quickly.
12:53You have some additional security to offer?
12:56I do.
12:57The deed to the Rancho Santita.
12:59I bet it against everything I have lost.
13:02Against 11,000 pesos?
13:03But your home alone is worth that.
13:14One.
13:29Four kings.
13:34Two.
13:35Three.
13:37Four.
13:39Six of swords.
13:42And the five.
13:46Good evening, senores.
13:50It has been most pleasant.
13:53May I ask, senor, what you intend doing with the Rancho Santita?
13:57Yes, you may ask.
14:00But I am not prepared yet to answer.
14:03Forgive me, senor, but you do not have the look of a ranchero.
14:06And you do not have the look of a comandante.
14:10Sergeant.
14:13Pardon, Raymond.
14:20What will he do now?
14:22There is not much you can do.
14:24When you bury your father and your future on the same day.
14:33It is true, senores, the spring on the Santita Rancho controls the water of all your lands.
14:39My cattle have been sick and drinking that water.
14:42And mine.
14:42Orista has poisoned the water.
14:44Senor Orista decided to erect a tannery for leather on his land.
14:48The mission tannery has always served us.
14:49It is just an excuse to pollute the water.
14:52My sympathy is with you, but the law is the law.
14:54There is nothing I can do.
14:56The question is, your excellency, what can we do?
14:59Unfortunately, nothing.
15:00Senor Orista tells me he must continue to dump the residue from his tannery into his spring.
15:06His spring?
15:07The water belongs to all of us.
15:08That is true.
15:09My father never considered it to be his private property.
15:13Unfortunately, senor, your father is dead.
15:16And senor Orista, it would seem, is a businessman.
15:19He, uh, tells me he is in the market to buy land.
15:23You mean that by denying us water, he hopes to force us to sell our land.
15:27Ramon, you fool.
15:29You spineless fool.
15:30Look what you have done to all of us.
15:33Ramon may have hurt us.
15:34But remember, gentlemen, he lost everything he owns.
15:38A considerable punishment.
15:40But since the king's magistrate does not intend to defend us against senor Orista,
15:45there's no point in continuing this discussion.
15:47Oh, senores, senores, please.
15:48Please understand my position.
15:50I represent the law.
15:52The law states explicitly that Orista owns the land,
15:55the land controls the water,
15:57and the law controls us all.
16:02You.
16:05Thank you for trying to help me.
16:10Drive home.
16:15Yes, I'm afraid only Zorro can solve this problem.
16:25I have another assignment for you, but we must not be seen together.
16:29Meet me at the east corner of the quartel in three minutes.
16:31I will be there.
16:46Zorro!
16:54Don't move, senor.
16:58Zorro!
17:02What do you want?
17:03Please do not let us disturb you, sergeant.
17:04We are going to play a little game.
17:06A game?
17:07Senor Orista is an expert at cards.
17:09He's going to give us all a lesson.
17:10Get a chair, please.
17:11Yes, senor.
17:12Zorro.
17:13Be seated, please.
17:15Right.
17:16Thank you, sergeant.
17:18Who are you?
17:19A fellow gambler.
17:20You may shuffle the cards.
17:23Sergeant, there is a reward of 5,000 pesos for his capture.
17:29And the promotion.
17:30What?
17:31For me, promotion to permanent comandante.
17:34Do something.
17:44That is enough.
17:47I'm not sure what impression this little bullet will make on that huge stomach of yours, sergeant,
17:51but I'm willing to find out.
17:59And now I suggest that you play one hand with Don Ramon.
18:03For what stakes?
18:05The deed to the Rancho Santil and the 11,000 pesos you cheated him out of.
18:09Against what do I stake such a prize?
18:12Your life, senor.
18:15You mean if I win, I...
18:17Precisely.
18:18You die.
18:19A valuable prize makes the game more exciting, no?
18:22Now, I will cut.
18:34One moment, senor.
18:36Your fingers are a little too agile.
18:37I will deal.
18:42Where are the rest of the men?
18:44You're the sound assembly!
18:46You want to give him warning, idiot?
18:48Now move out.
18:48I want the tavern surrounded.
18:50And, corporal, I warn you, if Zorro escapes, I'll have the neck of every man in this garrison.
18:54Yes, senor magistrado.
18:55Follow me!
18:59Guard, senores?
19:01No.
19:02Four.
19:05Send half your men around behind the tavern.
19:07I want every exit covered.
19:08And keep them in the shadows.
19:09Go!
19:10Si, let's...
19:11Follow me!
19:13All right, senores.
19:14What cards have you?
19:16Pairs.
19:17Five and threes.
19:21What cards do you hold, senor?
19:25You win, senor.
19:27As I promised, senor Ulista has given us a lesson.
19:30I think perhaps he has given himself one, too.
19:33You can use the money, but what can an outlaw do with the Rancho Santil?
19:37Perhaps you and I can make a deal.
19:39I would be glad to make a deal with you, senor.
19:42If in two hours you are within five miles of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, I will kill you.
19:48Since you are leaving town, you will not need the cattle.
19:51We buy them back.
19:52General, please, text let's see.
19:54Now take your men and break down that door.
19:57You have your land and your cattle back.
20:01Now I make a deal with you.
20:02You will work the Rancho Santil for one year.
20:05If in that time I find that you have gambled, it will be the last card you ever turn.
20:10Is that clear?
20:11It is clear.
20:13Thank you, senor Soto.
20:18And you, sergeant, stay away from mine!
20:36Let's go!
21:06I warned you, sergeant, to stay away from wine!
21:13Francis, up the stairs! After him!
21:16After him!
21:36All right, go get it!
21:37Get her!
21:38Get her!
21:43Get her!
21:51There he is!
21:53Don't try to take him alive!
21:56I want him stopped!
22:00Forget him! Get Zorro!
22:02Get Zorro after him!
22:04Zorro!
22:05The building is surrounded.
22:07You can save trouble by giving yourself up.
22:12Up after him. Get a ladder, quickly!
22:20I advise you to go back. It's dangerous up here.
22:32Hurry up the ladder! Don't let him get away!
22:36Idiot! He's getting away!
22:37There he goes!
22:46He's trying to get down the rear of the building. Follow me!
23:14You! Up the ladder!
23:16Hurry! Hurry!
23:19Stop him!
23:21Get your mouths, idiot!
23:23You pay for it! Every one of you will pay!
23:26Excellency!
23:29Did you see that? I was nearly run down.
23:31I tell you, it's not safe to walk the streets of this pueblo at night.
23:34I have no time.
23:35I do not wish to tell you your business, sir,
23:37but I certainly think something should be done about it.
23:39Something will be done!
23:43Sergeant, speak to me! I...
23:45See if this will revive me.
23:52Water! Would you drown me, woman?
23:56What...
23:57What is all this commotion about?
23:59It's just to be such a quiet town.
24:02Don Diego, thank heavens you were not here!
24:06Oh, it was terrible, Don Diego!
24:08I had Zorro trapped when my idiot soldiers interfered.
24:11It is not easy being comandante.
24:13I know, Sergeant. You must have your troubles, but...
24:16What a mess!
24:18However...
24:19Excuse me.
24:21We do have a...
24:22bottle of brandy here, huh?
24:24Don Ramon, would you join me in that drink?
24:26Thank you, Diego. I have a lot to do. Good night, my friend.
24:28Good night.
24:29Oh, Senor Orista!
24:31Will you have a drink with me?
24:32Thank you, no. I'm just leaving town.
24:36Well, I do not think that you would refuse me, Sergeant.
24:39No, Don Diego.
24:41Someone recently warned me to stay away from wine.
24:44But, uh...
24:46Brandy is not wine, is it?
24:53Next week, a scheming imposter assumes the role of comandante
24:57to terrorize the rancheros and extort more money for the eagle.
25:02So, does our new comandante agree with this treatment of our rancheros?
25:06The new comandante is here to bring law and order to Los Ancales.
25:11Join us next week,
25:13when the Walt Disney Studio presents
25:15Stirring Adventure and Action in the Life of Zorro!
25:32To be continued...
25:35To be continued...
25:37To be continued...
