I won't kill you now

Lock him up.

Make him confess Chang's whereabouts.

That's enough.

Why don't you cooperate?

Come, be a smart man.

Commander Shih is invincible.

I'll kill him eventually.

You're too stubborn.

It's true I like you | But I've to obey orders too.

I can't spare you.

He's gone.

Feeling better?

Yes, thanks.

I told you some people get killed easily.

Nosy fellows and... | Shao Lin fighters.

You won't live long.

Neither will you.

Why?

Because you're a nosy fellow

You saved me...

Listen:
Sooner or later you'll get killed.

One has to die anyway | It shouldn't matter sooner or later.

Tan Hsiung?

He's my brother, killed by Shih.

We were trained at Shao Lin.

Like other young men | we wanted to be righteous.

Shih's deeds infuriated my brother.

So he gathered just fighters | to kill Manchu officials.

Too bad Shih got him first.

To avenge your brother.

You've become Shih's delivery boy.

I'll hit at the right time.

Out of the way.

Anyone harboring Yun Fei will be killed | $10000 will be...

...rewarded for information about him.

Your club is too match Shih's sword?

Yes.

You...

Your club is made of wood | But Shih has a steel sword.

We need more help.

To kill Shih's eight guards | We need a swordsman.

Zorro, catch!

Have a seat please.

Bring us some wine | Sure.

Are you Zorro?

The world's best swordsman?

And your head's worth$10000

That's Shih's estimate.

I don't think I'm worth that much.

Two of Shih's scouts just came.

Turn me in | and you'll get $10000

You think I'll do that.

No. Zorro's a righteous man.

This sword's been frozen for a year.

All because of a woman | What a pity.

Shut up!

You're not in shape.

Else I'm a dead man now

What do you want?

To draft you to kill Shih.

Nice sword.

Let's go.

I'm a fugitive now

We've been looking for you.

You left the Temple.

Teacher knew of Chiu Kuo's death | Thought you might need help.

So he sent us along.

I sure can use some help.

It's you, Zorro.

Tan.

You know each...

That sword... | can only belong to the famous Zorro.

You're flattering me.

And these two...

Friends from Shao Lin.

Hold it.

That's my job.

It takes time to re-sharpen it.

What's the...

Watch it.

Tiger Claw?

Shih likes to use fake moves.

...to intermingle with his lethal ones.

If you can grab his arm | and break it.

He'll become impotent.

Oil it.

Right.

Which hill did you come from?

Mount Loyalty.

And your name sir?

Seek and you'll find.

Come with me, Mr. Chang | O.K.

Nice shot, Commander.

No need to flatter me.

Has my scout returned?

Commander, Chang has appeared.

And Yun's coming to get you.

He can't beat my eight guards.

Bring the arrow

I want my eight guards stationed... | at the river.

Some stupid kids get together | Think they'd scare me.

Bring him over.

Can't trust men who care for you.

You're a genius.

Cut it out.

Good.

Zorro, Yun.

With this we can kill Shih.

The 'White Lance.

Just a weapon.

Bad news.

What?

I did some scouting yesterday | Shih has mobilized...

Well?

His eight guards to the river | to ambush you tomorrow

Thanks for the message | You better go now

God will punish that Shih devil.

Sly fox!

Let's get Shih now

No, not yet | We must plan our moves first.

Else we'll get ourselves killed.

Besides, Chang's safety is at stake.

We must stay cool.

Shih doesn't know our exact number.

That's to our benefit.

We can work in units.

And distract Shih's gang.

Right.

Shih's house's 5 miles from his town.

Shih usually stays home | Leaving his station to be guarded...

...by Tu and 5 of his guards.

There's a toll bar outside town.

...guarded by Shih's remaining two guards.

Tomorrow, I'll attack... | the toll bar.

When Tu gots the news | he'll come to the toll bar.

with the five guards.

Zorro and I will wait.

...until they've left the river.

We'll escort Chang across the river.

Then come back for Shih's head.

I owe you fellows so much.

If I get though tomorrow

I'll always be grateful for your help.

I got to avenge myself anyway.

My brother was killed by Shih | I want Shih at all costs.

I've never done a meaningful deed.

Now is my chance.

I'd rather die than be ruled by the Manchus.

Some men are coming this way.

Shao Lin fighters?

Guards.

Report to Lord Tu | Shao Lin fighters are storming in.

Out of the way.

Shao Lin fighters are attacking... | the toll bar.

They got nerves.

You fellows.

Go to the toll bar.

Shao Lin fighters attacked the toll bar.

Over there.

Come | Right.

There's a toll bar outside town.

Commander.

We got to the toll bar | But they weren't there.

They fooled us.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't be so careless | Please punish me.

Our scouts haven't found them yet | Where can they be?

Don't get frustrated so easily | Go to the river now

We'll catch them.

Our horses.

Got to teach them a lesson.

To the river.

Something's wrong.

Hurry.

You go first.

No, we go together.

I've waited three years for this.

Tan.

To the river.

Let me.

Yun.

Tan.

Are you all right?

You got to hurry.

I'm O.K.

Yun, time's running out.

We got to go.

Get Chang aboard | Right.

Get the map.

Hurry.

But you... | Don't argue.

Where's your map?

In here.

Zorro.

Zorro...

Come with me, Chang.

I made a mistake | of underestimating you.

One of us is destined to fall.

You've teased me enough.

Now you've to pay.
