The Legend of Zorro Page #3

I'll make her want me back so badly,

she will be weeping with desire.

Nobody leaves my tequila worm

dangling in the wind!

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

God bless you, senor.

How kind of you.

I was trying to impress you.

If you truly want to impress me,

invite me over for dinner tonight.

Cook me something sinful.

Why not dine at your hacienda?

I'd really like to meet your son.

Please try and understand, Armand.

He's not ready for another man

in my life just yet.

Of course. I understand.

What is it?

Oh, this hat. It's breathtaking.

Shall I purchase it for you?

On second thought,

who needs another hat?

What I need is

a pipe!

- A pipe?

- A pipe.

Like my father used to smoke.

I hope I do not repulse you

with my unladylike habit.

No, no. On the contrary,

you fascinate me.

Oh, there's a vendor.

Wait here, won't you?

What are you doing here?

When did you start

smoking a pipe?

I don't smoke. I said that to

get rid of him so I can get rid of you.

- I have to talk to you about last night.

- I forgive you. Goodbye.

No, no, no, not that. After.

- I saw something in the forest.

- What are you talking about?

Yes, what are you talking about?

An explosion.

Close to your chateau, in fact.

Like nothing I have ever seen.

I simply wanted to make sure

you were both safe.

As much as you had to drink last night,

I'm sure your vision was impaired.

Yet somehow

it's all becoming clear.

A word of advice, de la Vega:

If you have any respect for the

relationship you shared with Elena

let it die with dignity.

I have to know I am losing her

to a better man.

I can assure you of that.

All right, that is enough.

- Alejandro, time to go.

- Elena, please.

Alejandro has come for peace of mind.

I am obliged to give it to him.

Perhaps we can settle this

like gentlemen.

You do play polo, I take it?

Doesn't everyone?

I suggest we play as they do

in Slovenia.

- A fine city.

- Country.

Naturally.

- May I offer you something to drink?

- Double tequila, no salt.

Perhaps a game of croquet would be

less hazardous to your health.

Did you drop something?

Or you just resting?

You know, I think I like this game.

Promise me when you lose

you will leave us alone.

What makes you think I will lose?

Woman's intuition.

To the victor go the spoils.

Now keep your promise and go.

You cheated, so I take it back.

Goodbye, Alejandro.

What do you really know

about this man?

We were never meant

to be together.

You don't love him.

After 10 years of marriage,

you cannot hide the truth from me.

De la Cruz is the bartender who works

at the saloon across the street.

He says he overheard McGivens

gathering his men to go see Cortez.

Your father asked me to pick...

Cortez!

The deed, if you please.

- Bring it here.

- No, Guillermo, don't!

Please, senor.

This land is all we have.

And the Lord shall expel them

before you

and ye shall possess their land!

Salvation

damnation.

Got one thing in common.

You gotta die to find either one.

How true.

Drop your guns.

All of you!

Guillermo, Blanca, get in the house.

You are one blind Mexican. You don't

know what you're getting yourself into.

Neither do you.

Shoot him!

Let him be!

- Come on!

- Let's move!

Don't let them hurt you.

I won't. I promise.

Go on! Break it down!

Blanca.

Blanca.

No! Guillermo!

Guillermo! Guillermo.

Guillermo.

Guillermo, please talk to me.

Talk to me!

Please!

What are you trying to tell me, huh?

No matter what choice I make,

it's always the wrong one!

I have failed everyone I ever loved.

My wife, my son

and now the people too!

What do you want from me?!

Help me.

I have always listened to my heart.

And it speaks to me now

of a great darkness.

I fear Guillermo Cortez

was only the beginning

and that Elena

is in great danger too.

So I beg you

give me the courage,

the strength

to wear the mask a little longer.

Allow Zorro one last ride.

Come here.

She's going to the vineyard.

We can post men near the gate

in case we have to pull her out.

If she's compromised,

she's of no further use.

Consider her an acceptable loss.

Master, a word?

Please, excuse me a moment.

The shipment arrives

at Maderas Cove.

The carving is beautiful.

And what is through that door?

Private chapel.

Piety is a long-standing tradition

in my family.

I'd show it to you,

but dinner's waiting.

That was absolutely delicious.

And now...

Oh, no, I'm sorry, Marie,

I do not smoke.

Unless it is my pipe, of course.

Oh, you remembered.

How thoughtful.

But I think I should let

my stomach settle first.

Elena.

I want to ask you something.

Something I should've asked you

many years ago.

Before you do, my love,

answer me one question.

Whatever your heart desires.

Where is the bathroom?

I would like to powder my cheeks.

Of course. Down the hall.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

A gentleman is here to see you.

He says it's important.

He's building a track

to the vineyard.

I presume you have the deed

since you deemed it necessary

to interrupt my dinner.

Right here.

But it seems we have

a fly in the ointment.

Or should I say a fox. Zorro.

I've heard the name

among the locals.

He's a peasant masquerading

as a folk hero.

Men like that usually find their way

to the guillotine.

I've been informed one of my

shipping vessels is arriving tomorrow.

They'll anchor off Maderas Cove.

The cargo must be

brought here safely.

I want no mistakes.

Now that we have the deed,

will the track be completed on time?

Lt'll take my boys two days

to cover the quarter mile.

I'll hold you to that, Mr. McGivens.

Otherwise you get nothing.

Listen to me,

you backwards-ass frog

you hedge on my money,

you won't ever see me co...

This dagger, Mr. McGivens

Jake

has been in my family

for generations.

If you ever talk to me

like that again

I will cut out your tongue

and I'll feed it to my dogs.

Understood?

Your men have two days,

Mr. McGivens

then the future begins.

I trust you can find

your own way out.

"Orbis unum."

Alejandro! For God's sake,

why can't you leave me alone?

Elena, I was right.

Armand is not who you think he is.

- You have no idea who I think he is.

- I think I know.

No, because you do not think.

Get out before somebody sees you.

Elena, listen to me.

- Guillermo Cortez is dead.

- What?

Armand needed his land

to build a railroad.

He's planning something.

How do you know this?

Oh, no. I won't tell you what I know

until you tell me what you know.

If you wanna know, I need to know why

you are living in sin with an evil count!

Elena?

Elena?

There you are.

Forgive me, Armand. I just had the

sudden urge to step out for a puff.

Are you all right?

Fine.

My God, you're turning green.

It's just your presence

takes my breath away.

Good, because I have

a little something for you.

A customary Spanish offering

for when a man asks a woman

for her hand in marriage.

Let me do this on one knee

so I can look up into your eyes.
