The Legend of Zorro Page #5

- You said you didn't care about that.

- I lied. Every woman loves pearls.

Well, now you have them, princess.

When I said that we were never

meant to be together, I meant it.

Finally we agree on something.

- This changes nothing.

- Absolutely not.

- Follow me.

- Always.

Orbis unum.

Orbis unum.

Fellow Knights of Aragon

soon the power of the United States

will be so great

it will overshadow us.

But America has one weakness:

Lts people.

They are divided

by North and South.

A civil war is inevitable.

The only question is,

who will claim victory?

We will determine the outcome

with this:

An average bar of soap.

Quite harmless in its current form.

But science has shown us

how to extract the glycerin

and transform it

into a compound

than gunpowder.

Nitroglycerin.

For months, this vineyard has been

a cover for its manufacture.

Tomorrow, a shipment of nitro

will depart by train.

It will be met at the state line

by Colonel Beauregard

who will take possession

of the shipment

and distribute it throughout

the Confederate Army.

As we speak

they're preparing to launch

a preemptive strike

against Washington

forever tearing this country apart.

Gentlemen, the Knights of Aragon

will soon be restored

to our former glory

as we stand in shadow and watch

America destroy itself!

I've heard enough.

Brothers, you know

my spirit is with you.

But we risk antagonizing

a sleeping giant if we fail.

I'll see myself out.

Lord Dillingham.

Would a demonstration

put your mind at ease?

Unless you come to confess

you have no business here,

McGivens.

Funny you should mention

confession, padre

seeing that you're obliged to keep

the secrets of your flock.

Joaquincito, go back inside!

Who's Zorro?

You know, Zorro could be

anyone at all.

Come on, now.

We're both men of God.

You can tell me.

Hey, boss.

Lord hates a liar.

All right, I'll tell you.

Run!

Felipe! You killed Felipe!

Gentlemen

the future.

This facility will provide

a continuous supply of nitro

to the Southern battlefront.

I'll be returning to Europe shortly

but Ferroq will remain

to oversee the operation.

The nitro has been concealed

in these bottles

to circumvent any prying

Northern patrol.

An urgent matter requires

your attention at the hacienda.

He's going back to the hacienda.

I have to get back before he does.

I'll keep the train from leaving. Go.

Elena. Be careful.

Armand.

My goodness, I must have dozed off

and your dogs startled me.

Perhaps they thought

you were someone you're not.

I'm told you arrived early.

I could not wait.

I'm having a special meal prepared.

I hope you're hungry.

I'm famished.

Thank you, Marie.

You are not hungry?

Tasty, is it?

It's unusual.

Is it quail?

Pigeon.

As you said, Elena

we see the people we love

as we wish them to be

not as who they really are.

Did you actually think

that I would be swept off my feet

by a sadistic coward like you?

I thought you were

a woman of vision.

"Vision." I could barely stomach

the sight of you, Armand.

The only way I could bear your touch

was to imagine you were Alejandro.

Your stepfather would be ashamed.

You've become nothing more

than a common woman

devoted to a common man.

I take that as a compliment.

Mama!

Oh, Joaquin!

Padre's dead

and the kid's a witness.

No, no, no.

We'll need the next batch of it.

Put some more here now.

We'll rendezvous at Clanton's Pass.

You and your men can

assume control of the train there.

Zorro! Zorro!

No!

If you please.

Remove his mask.

You.

You've lost it all.

Your wife.

Your son.

And for what?

For this?

No matter where you go, Armand

whatever you do

the world isn't big enough

to hide from me.

Goodbye, de la Vega.

No! Armand, no!

Please. Not in front of Joaquin.

Please.

As soon as we're gone.

Elena.

My family is my life.

Shame about your friend the padre.

But he died with God's name

on his lips

and a bullet in his heart.

And now I send you out,

a sheep amongst wolves.

Thank God

you're alive.

I already did.

Listen, go to the marshal's office

and tell them what Armand

is doing here.

Where are you going?

To catch a train.

Can I get you something to drink?

Understand something:

You can lock me

in a tower forever

and I will never stop hating you.

You may feel differently when you see

how Joaquin enjoys

the life of an aristocrat.

- I can't wait till my papi kicks your...

- Joaquin!

Zorro! Zorro, Zorro!

Don't touch him!

Guards!

Come on!

Yes!

Good boy. Well done.

Let's see how much

your father truly loves you.

Get the boy!

Joaquin, quick.

- Keep going.

- What are you doing?

When the car stops, get off

and follow the tracks back to town.

You are the son of Zorro.

You can do it.

Now, go.

How did you get in here?

So the devil will know who sent you.

The drinks are on me.

My fellow Californians

we have gathered here

at historic Bear Point

to make official our entrance into

the United States of America!

Bravo!

Welcome to the Union, governor.

Look at you.

A real heartbreaker, huh?

- Dad?

- Yeah?

Why didn't you tell me

who you are?

Come here.

Joaquin

when you were born, I vowed

I would give my life to keep you safe.

I thought I could protect you

by hiding the truth.

But your mother was right.

It wasn't my secret to keep.

It belongs to all of us.

So I promise I will never

lie to you again. Never.

I bless these rings in the name of the

Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Elena

receive this ring as a sign

of my love and fidelity.

Alejandro

receive this ring as a sign

of my love and fidelity.

Today you join in the fullness of time

for all eternity.

Yea, seeketh tolerance

when easily provoked.

Love endureth,

for it keeps no score of wrongs.

Love bears all things

and believes all things.

Love endures day by day

hour by hour

minute by minute.

- Padre.

Love is patient...

Padre.

Can you hurry it up a little?

The people are calling.

It's who we are.

- Do you want her back?

- Of course I do.

- And you take him?

- Lf I must.

You may now kiss the bride. Again.

Don't wait up.

Never.
