This is Señor Crane's hat.
Oh, no, no, no, you
must be mistaken.
GARCIA: So he is here, eh?
Lancers, surround the house.
( suspenseful theme playing)
CARLOTTA: Sergeant!
Sergeant. Sergeant,
are you warm?
Oh, sí, Carlotta, It
is very hot today, no?
I have known hotter days.
But on the other hand, I
have known colder ones.
Did you feel rain just then?
Oh, sí, sí, a few drops.
Ah. That's California for
you. Such unusual weather.
Nowhere else in
the world would it rain
on such a bright, sunny day.
No. Heh.

Lobo.
I trust Lobo is in his usual
vicious mood this morning.
I think he knows he's going
to have some fun today, huh?
We shall go to the pueblo
and let the hound pick up
the americano's trail there.
Sí.
(barking)
( peaceful theme playing)
(imitating bird's chirping)
Señor Joe.
Come, quickly.
Señor Joe, the woods are
full of lancers hunting for you.
Well, hunting's one
thing, finding's another.
When old Joe Crane travels,
he don't make no more tracks
than a fly does
crawling over a hot rock.
This your daddy? Oh, sí.
Papa, this is the
americano I told you about.
Oh, señor. We heard about
Zorro rescuing you from the jail.
And why did you not go
back to your mountains?
Well, they got my furs locked
in a cell in that there pueblo,
and I don't go no
place without them.
I see.
Well, I suppose you
will need a place to hide.
That I do, señorita.
You mean to keep him here?
Sergeant Garcia will be
very angry if he finds out.
Well, Papa, if Señor Zorro
can help him, so can we.
Of course. Our
home is yours, señor.
Heh. Well, that's...
That's mighty nice of you folks.
Señor Joe, I think your
clothes need washing, no?
Oh, I don't know about that.
CARLOTTA: I think they do.
And while I am washing
them, you can take a bath.
A bath?
Why, I ain't had a
bath in two years.
Well, all the more reason.
My skin ain't used to it.
No telling what might
happen. I might even get rusty.
Señor Joe, no bath, no house.
Well, I...
I sure need a place to
hide out, that's for sure.
All right.
All right, you got the
thumbscrews on me.
And while you are bathing,
I shall put your
clothes to soak.
Oh, and prepare you some
food. You must be famished.
( upbeat theme playing)
(door opens then closes)
(horses approaching)
Buenos días, Don Diego.
Sergeant Garcia.
What brings you
and your lancers out
so early in the
morning on horseback?
We are searching for an
escaped prisoner, Don Diego.
The americano? He escaped, eh?
Sí, last night.
With the help of Zorro.
Zorro, eh?
Sergeant, when are you
going to capture this bandit
and be rid of him
once and for all?
That is easier said
than done, Don Diego.
You know something, sergeant?
I'm beginning to
suspect that, uh,
you don't really
want to capture Zorro.
That is not so.
I mean, if for no other reason,
I would like to capture
him to find out who he is.
And, uh...
I have my suspicions
as to who he might be.
You do? Sí.
This much I have learned:
He is a man, and he lives
somewhere near here.
Well, sergeant, you, heh.
You've certainly narrowed
the field down. Heh.
After this bit of elimination,
you should soon unmask him.
Sí, I hope to, Don Diego.
Well, I must say adiós.
Adiós, sergeant.
Sergeant!
Am I right in presuming
that you have not caught
the escaped prisoner?
Not yet, Don Carlos.
I thought as much.
That is why I came prepared
to hunt for him myself.
It is the army's duty to search
for him, Don Carlos, not yours.
Sergeant, on too
many former occasions,
you have failed to
do your job properly.
I have been talking to
some of the other dons.
We are going to
take pains to see to it
that this time you don't fail.
Don Carlos, I don't
believe there is any...
Silence!
You mass of incompetence.
I don't understand
why the king of Spain
hasn't recalled you long ago.
Not only do you allow
a prisoner to escape jail,
but you are totally
incapable of recapturing him
after he has escaped.
I am doing my best, Don Carlos.
Your best. (Lobo barks)
Sergeant,
if you cannot catch the
americano, Lobo can.
(barking)
(growling)
A wolf?
CARLOS: Only half wolf.
He's a marvelous tracker
and can follow a scent
even if it is weeks old.
If he catches the americano,
he will tear him limb from limb.
Of course, sergeant.
But that is inhuman, Don Carlos.
That all depends on
one's viewpoint, sergeant.
Hernando, we must
find some object
that belongs to the americano
and let Lobo pick
up the scent from it.
Don Carlos, I believe
his r*fle was left
in the tavern yesterday.
Ah, yes, that is so.
Come. Lobo.
(horses departing)
Keep them outside a few minutes.
( suspenseful theme playing)
CARLOS: Move aside.
I said to move aside.
HERNANDO: Little dummy,
kindly remove yourself
from in front of that door.
(growling)
(Carlos laughing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(speaks in Spanish)
( ominous theme playing)
(growling and barking)
( dramatic theme playing)
(growling)
The fool hound has
led us to Don Diego.
Lobo.
(grunts)
Don Carlos, that hound
of yours chased me
clear across the plaza.
My apologies, Don Diego.
Lobo will be punished.
He's a thr*at and a menace
to the safety of this pueblo.
He should be locked up.
Ordinarily, I keep
him chained to a log.
He won't thr*aten you
again. Be assured of that.
(Lobo barking in distance)
I think our friend the
americano will get away now.
(laughs)
(barking)
He's never made a
mistake like this before.
Perhaps the metal of the g*n
confused his sense of smell.
Or Don Diego might
have handled the r*fle.
We must consider that.
Sí.
Shall I take Lobo back to
the hacienda, Don Carlos?
Not right now.
Why don't you tie him up
in one of the small buildings
behind Pedro's store?
(water splashes)
(speaks in Spanish)
What experiences you
have had, Señor Joe.
Indians, bears,
mountain lions...
(chuckles)
Shucks, you ain't
heard nothing yet, papa.
Well, what about wildcats,
coyotes, wolves?
Have you ever
fought any of them?
Well, I've handled a
few wildcats in my time.
Never did find any coyotes
ornery enough to stand up to me.
But wolves...
They're different.
Feel sort of friendly
towards them.
They admire me because
I'm so mean and nasty.
We speak the same language.
The same language, señor?
Yeah, you know, little
short barks like, uh...
(barks)
for ordinary conversation.
Then when you got
something real important to say,
you go like this:
Yahoo!
(howling)
(howling in distance)
Corporal, signal
the other lancers.
Hey, papa, get
my clothes, quick.
Your clothes? Hurry up.
Okay. Carlotta!
Carlotta! Carlotta!
What...? Oh!
What is it? What is the matter?
Buenos días,
Carlotta. Buenos días.
We, uh...
We, uh, heard a strange
sound coming from this direction.
CARLOTTA: Oh, a strange sound?
Sí, like the howl of a wolf.
I heard nothing.
Did you hear anything, Papa?
I heard nothing too.
( dramatic theme playing)
This is Señor Crane's hat.
Oh, no, no, no, you
must be mistaken.
GARCIA: So he is here, eh?
Lancers, surround the house.
( suspenseful theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
Ah. As I told you, sergeant,
the americano is
not in the house.
Well, then how did
his hat get over there?
Well, I do not know.
Perhaps he passed by
last night after he escaped.
Sergeant!
Sergeant. Sergeant,
are you warm?
GARCIA: Sí, Carlotta.
It is very hot today, no?
I have known hotter days.
But on the other hand, I
have known colder ones.
Did you feel rain just then?
Oh, sí, sí, a few drops.
Ah. That's California for
you. Such unusual weather.
Nowhere else in the world
would it rain on such
a bright, sunny day.
No. Heh.
( suspenseful theme playing)
I looked everywhere, sergeant,
but I can't find the americano.
Then let us continue
searching for him in the hills.
Adiós, Carlotta. Adiós.
( suspenseful theme playing)
I've been under so long,
I feel like I've grown fins.
Them soldiers are getting
too close for comfort.
I reckon I better get
my furs back tonight
and make tracks
for the mountains.
Oh, Señor Joe,
you are so foolish
to take such a
chance with your life.
But if you are determined
to get them back,
I suppose you will need help.
Tonight, one hour after sundown,
you come to the rear
of the tavern, and I will...
(patrons chattering)
I would expect to find you
here, idling your time away.
I suppose you are celebrating
not having caught the americano.
GARCIA: We have been
searching all day, Don Carlos.
We found nothing of the
americano except his hat.
His hat? Sí, his hat.
Ah. Here is Carlotta.
Let us drink a toast to
her, our benefactress.
REYES: Señorita
Carlotta is a fine woman.
She appreciates our soldiers.
Well, of course
I appreciate you.
Are you not the
defenders of our country?
And we appreciate all
the free drinks too, Carlotta.
But, uh, now it is time for
us to return to the barracks.
Oh, but you must not go so soon,
especially as I have
brought you another bottle.
(soldiers murmuring)
Gracias, Carlotta, but the
sergeant says we must go.
Corporal, please.
Let me decide what
I'm about to say, eh?
A soldier always
wants another bottle.

I was worried about

Well, that's real nice of you.
Ain't hardly nobody
worries about old Joe Crane
except himself.
Say, uh, you're looking
mighty fancy tonight.
Just about as pretty as
a little old painted wagon.
(chuckles)
You are very flattering.
Now, what's that up there?
Up there in the rafters.
Señor Joe, you did it again.
(laughs)
I sure get a lot of
fun out of doing that.
Oh, well, it is not a
proper thing to do.
Well, now, honey, I didn't
take nothing from you
that you can't have
back for the asking.
Well, I'll be going.
Back to the mountains?
No sirree, not till
I get my furs back.
I'll hide out in the
woods till tomorrow night
and maybe have
another try at it.
Señor Joe, please be careful.
Americanos...
are so different.
