The Mask of Zorro Page #5

This will make it more difficult.

Seorita...

Don't move.

- Do you surrender?

- Never.

But I may scream.

I understand.

Sometimes I have that effect.

Excuse me.

Goodbye, seorita.

What are you doing?

What happened?

Zorro. Zorro was here.

I fought him and he left. He left.

- Did you recognize him?

- No, but he was young and vigorous.

- He was very vigorous, Father.

- Vigorous?

Yes.

Let's go!

Go!

Come on!

Here. This is the canyon.

That is where the mine is.

They have 25, 30 guards at most.

- Nothing that Zorro can't overcome.

- I'm not going with you.

What?

I'm not going with you.

There's something I must do.

It's a personal matter.

- What about the prisoners?

- There's nothing more I can do.

- You mean, nothing you will do.

- I gave my life to them.

In return, I lose everything. My wife

was murdered before my eyes...

...and my child was stolen

to be raised by my mortal enemy.

Montero?

Elena.

She's your daughter.

Yeah, she was.

So...

...you will simply take your revenge.

No, I will take my daughter. And don't

pretend she means nothing to you.

She does. But you taught me

to see beyond personal feelings.

- Was that all a lie?

- You're too young to understand.

To understand what? Betrayal?

All the work, all the training,

all the wise words, for what?

To smile in the face of my brother's

killer while you make your own plans?

Alejandro, I taught you everything

you need to survive.

Now I must look to my own heart.

Elena is all I have left.

I am not going to lose her again.

What about California?

What about the people?

They still have Zorro.

I have every inch of the countryside

covered. If he shows himself...

- Are you all right?

- Do you have the map?

- We'll find it.

- Is your army ready to fight?

- No, sir.

- Then of course I'm not all right.

I'm beginning to wonder if you want

this operation to succeed at all.

- What are you saying?

- What I'm saying, captain...

...is that I think my horse could

run this army better than you.

I said I'll find him.

That means I will.

Perhaps I can save you the trouble.

Go on, reach for it, captain.

- Who are you?

- I warned you long ago, Rafael.

- You would never be rid of me.

- De la Vega.

Rafael.

You were not the Zorro

I saw last night.

- That was your master, Don Alejandro.

- Yes.

But there are many who would

proudly wear the mask of Zorro.

Either way, events have been set

in motion that you cannot stop.

I'm not here to stop you.

Call for Elena.

Call her.

Captain, bring my daughter to me.

Bring her to me!

You cannot imagine, Rafael,

how I have dreamed of this moment.

Night and day, 20 long years.

Really? I haven't given you

a second thought.

- If I die, the truth dies with me.

- We shall see.

Father!

- Bernardo, what are you doing?

- Tell her, Rafael.

- Tell me what? What is going on?

- Tell her who her real father is.

Father, what is he saying?

This unfortunate man

lost a daughter once...

...and now he seeks to claim you

for his own.

Tell her how her mother died.

Your daughter is lost, de la Vega.

You cannot have mine.

De la Vega?

A woman in town, she told me...

Diego de la Vega?

Father?

His name is of no consequence.

I was told my niera used

to hang something on my crib.

Yes, she had her hang

fresh flowers.

No!

Let us finish it, Rafael.

Let us finish what we started...

...the night Esperanza died.

Drop your sword or I will have

no choice but to have you shot.

Even in the presence

of my daughter.

Please.

They were flowers. Romneya.

Rafael...

...she knows.

Water!

Lock them up!

The fuses are burning. Hurry it up.

Let's go!

Wait here!

Secure the wagon, stay alert.

- De la Vega.

- Rafael.

Only one question.

Really? What is that?

How would you like

your remains displayed?

- Now I'm free to kill you.

- No!

Drop the sword. Drop it.

You really think

I would have killed my own child?

Did you miss me?

Elena! Get them out!

- "M" for Murrieta.

- Two men. One dead.

You're doing well. Your brother

would have shot himself by now.

Alejandro.

Is it finished?

Yes, Don Diego. It's finished.

Not for Zorro.

There will be other days,

other battles to fight.

It is your curse and destiny.

My beautiful Elena.

The world is a strange place.

Too have found you at last

only to lose you again.

You will never lose me...

...Father.

Elena.

You are like your mother.

Same eyes.

Same mouth.

Same spirit.

Alejandro...

...Elena.

And so it was.

Lightning split the sky.

Thunder shook the air.

And then all was quiet.

The great warrior

known as Zorro was gone.

The people of the land

gave him a hero's funeral.

The largest anyone had ever seen.

They came from far and wide

to say farewell...

...to the brave and noble champion.

But don't worry, little Joaquin.

Whenever great deeds

are remembered...

...your grandfather will live on.

For there must always be a Zorro.

And someday, when he is needed,

we will see him again.

On his fearsome steed, Tornado,

riding like the wind.

His sword blazing in the sun.

Leaping, jumping!

Swinging through the air!

Fighting like a lion,

fighting like a tiger!

Fighting...

...as safely as possible.

Is this your idea

of putting the baby to sleep?

Sleep tight, my son.

When I sleep, I will dream

of this dashing rogue, Zorro.

But what face shall I give him?

He has been many different men...

...but he has loved you

as all of them.

How can I refuse such a man?

Do you know where

I might find him?

You know Zorro.

He could be anywhere.

There, there, my darling.
