Zorro Page #4

and found water

to quench my thirst.

He took care of my wounds,

and watched over me.

He saved my life.

That's enough, Carmencita.

Please.

He's the man I want to marry,

Miguel. At least, if he'll have me.

That's amazing, aunt Carmen.

Just like a fairy tale.

You know what I'll do?

Just for you,

I'll throw a fabulous party.

Can you hear her?

I can hear her.

- Me too.

Mam, I'm tired.

- Quiet.

That was great.

- Very good, yes.

Count and countess

Pulido d'Oldavidez.

Please, come.

I'm delighted to...

I tripped.

Glad you accepted the invitation.

I was dying to meet you.

My pleasure.

Father, aren't you going to tell him

how delighted we are about the invitation.

The abuse of power pales

in comparison.

What joy to finally see some people

of our own standing again.

Ladies and gentlemen who didn't

lift a finger to help us.

Hortensia, you speak passionately.

But I'm sure a lot of gentlemen

will deny this.

Gentlemen? I don't see any.

- But how... ?

Miss Hortensia thinks

only a bandit

may call himself a gentleman,

or even a real man.

In case you are referring to Zorro,

Colonel Huerta,

don't forget I've already seen

you with Zorro and I could...

Miss...

- Look at that.

Excuse me.

May I? That ridiculous dog.

What have you got there, Assassin?

A love letter, I suppose.

My God... God...

'Governor, you're guilty

and you'll pay with your life.'

Signed, Zorro.

Guards. Alarm.

Block all exits.

My God...

All your quarters will

be sealed shut.

I'll be the only one with a key.

We'll also install

an alarm.

And a double rope.

I'll pull the first rope

every 15 minutes.

The bell will ring.

You have to pull the second rope,

to let me know everything is fine.

For more safety...

- That's enough. You can go now.

Your Excellency... Excellency?

I believe I know a way to catch Zorro.

We'll take

Hortensia Pulido as prisoner.

We'll chain her

and drive her through the streets.

Zorro will come to rescue her.

But she's an aristocrat,

and my niece.

I can't allow that.

- It's a matter of life and death.

Your life.

Or your death.

Hurry up. Get in.

Column, go.

How did you get in?

- Through the main gate.

Who are you?

- No time to explain.

Relieve the guard every 3 hours.

We're leaving.

- How?

With this.

When Huerta brought you here

to lure me,

I came to

prepare your escape.

It won't be easy,

but I know you can do it.

Once you're free,

immediately go to brother Francisco.

Huerta will look like a fool.

The place is infested with soldiers.

How can we escape?

I managed to get some things ready.

You'll see.

Some nice surprises.

Go left and hide in the cell

at the end of the hallway.

What was that? Take the key.

Zorro. Seize them.

Break down the door.

Angry roosters can be dangerous.

Of course, when we see any,

we'll grill them.

I wouldn't mind some chicken.

Today's meat was probably from an old donkey.

It sure isn't chicken.

Who's that?

It's Zorro. Alarm.

Who locked up these rifles?

Imagine him coming here.

He can't be that stupid.

Look over there. Everyone get up.

Alarm.

There.

Wait here.

Go on, follow them. Second team,

take the gallery.

First team,

search the squares.

Hurry. Hurry.

We have to split up now.

- What about you?

Find them, or we'll be in a lot of trouble.

We can't waste any time.

Go now.

Seal off everything, quickly.

The courtyard.

Let's go men.

This time

we can't let him get away.

They're out of barrels. Let's go.

Double the guards.

Now it's all becoming clear.

Only one person knew about the plan.

It's all clear. What plan?

Come along.

Me too?

A horse, quickly.

Get me a horse.

A horse.

My kingdom for a horse.

Come with me.

Give me the key.

No. I can't give you the key

without proper authorization.

The key! Unless you want to die.

I'll give you the key.

Come, get up. Get up.

Get up, Assassin.

Open it.

I don't want to replace your master,

I want to avenge him.

Get out of here.

No, under the bed.

Excuse me, Your Excellency.

Colonel Huerta.

What's going on here?

- Zorro freed Hortensia.

What?

- He was inside the fort.

He was waiting for her,

as if he knew our plans.

That's impossible.

- It happened anyway.

Besides me

only one person knew about it. Yourself.

Don't forget I could say the same thing

about you, Your Excellency.

Colonel, are you out of your mind?

If I had become crazy,

I wouldn't be here.

But... But... What do you mean?

The only thing I want,

is to catch Zorro.

And... hang him.

Fine, Colonel.

There's only one thing left to do.

- Indeed.

I believe so too.

Do you remember that message?

Zorro wants to kill me.

That's why I am

the perfect bait.

You?

- That's how we'll lure him.

It'll be his life...

or mine.

Look, Your Excellency,

the ideal place to fish.

Not that I doubt your cunning,

but is everything organised?

- Over there is a living forest.

Behind every tree, every bush

and every rock, there are soldiers hiding

and willing to die for your.

Good, let's take this seriously then.

Let's split up

like real fishermen.

You go upstream,

I'll go downstream. Good luck.

Zorro. Alarm.

Garcia.

- Here I am.

Where's the governor?

- No idea.

A moment ago he was behind that rock.

Now he's disappeared.

But it's not my fault.

There he is.

Look, Colonel.

Is he far away?

- No, near the river.

Go after him.

- Follow me.

Don't let him get away.

But what if the governor returns?

Are you going to leave him here alone?

Idiot. Do you really think

the governor is still fishing?

Sergeant, look. A trout.

A nice big one.

Excuse me, what did you say, Colonel?

I didn't understand.

There's no time to explain.

What are you waiting for?

- For you, Colonel.

Colonel, I don't want to be left alone.

Let Sergeant Garcia stay.

My pleasure.

- Thank you. He took the bait.

Did you see how he took the bait?

I'm getting wet.

Forward, on the double.

Calm down.

I don't understand this way.

Two plus two is...

Four.

- Very good.

Silence. Listen carefully, children.

Now it's time for something

more difficult.

What?

We have to give Zorro a hand.

Do you remember him?

And if it works...

Go on then.

Follow me. Quickly. Quickly.

Search everything.

He can't get away.

Come here. Quickly.

Take this one.

Think of the mask.

Come on.

Search everything.

There.

Look. There he is.

The horses. Go after him.

- Follow me. Quickly.

Mount your horses.

Sergeant.

I'm very tired.

I'll take a nap in the carriage.

Don't wake me unless

Zorro has been arrested.

Understood, Your Excellency.

There he is.

There.

Colonel, over there.

Halt.

First squadron goes around the hill.

- Second one follows me.

Twelve.

- You're in luck.

Everything works out for you today.

- For me today, for you tomorrow.

My sword is ready

to deliver you the final blow.

I can't swim.

Sergeant Garcia,

your governor is lying bound

and gagged in that carriage.

Now you're going to do as I say,

or I'll cut his head off
