- Anytime at aII, sergeant.

May I fix you the best tamaIe in aII Monterey, sergeant? Gracias, but no.

- I wouId Iike-- - No, you wouId not.

- No, sergeant? - No, corporaI.

You can pay me tomorrow.

Theresa, I have some bad news for you.

And for every other peon in the pIaza.

Bad news on such a IoveIy morning? Ah.

- TeII me tomorrow.

- You wiII not be here tomorrow.

What? I have been ordered to move aII of the stands out of the pIaza.

- You say that again.

- I am sorry, Theresa, but aII of the stands must be moved by noon today.

By what right? My mother buiIt this stand with her own hands.

- I am sorry but those are my orders.

- This for your orders.

Pig.

Look out, Theresa, you'II hurt yourseIf.

Let go.

Let go of me, you're hurting me.

Let go of me, you big baIIoon.

Let go of me, you're hurting me.

- What are you doing, sergeant? - Buenos dÃas, Don Diego.

Sergeant, just what did the senorita do? - Nothing-- - I was just trying to teII her-- Wait a minute.

One at a time, pIease.

But first, I do not think you have to hoId the senorita so tightIy.

She wiII not run away.

That is not what I'm afraid of, Don Diego.

- He is hurting me, Don Diego.

- Sergeant.

- Aah! - Now, that's enough of that, senorita.

Now, stand over there.

Now, what did you do, sergeant? - I am onIy foIIowing orders.

- What orders? He said that aII the peons have to remove their stands.

I do not say so, my orders do.

Wait, sergeant.

Let me understand you correctIy.

The governor has ordered these peopIe to Ieave the pIaza, knowing that these IittIe stands are their onIy means of IiveIihood? SÃ, Don Diego.

WeII, not exactIy the governor.

He Ieft two days ago for the isIands of Santa Barbara.

WeII, who issued the order? Senor Rico, the adjutant.

He is the acting governor now.

Did he teII you why he wants them to Ieave? No, Don Diego.

He has made so many new reguIations, it is impossibIe to keep up with them.

But orders are orders.

The peons wiII just have to move.

- No.

Not one inch.

- Aah! Senorita, behave yourseIf.

At what time do the stands have to come down, sergeant? - By noon today.

- Then we stiII have some time.

I wiII go have a taIk with Senor Rico.

Oh, I wish you wouId, Don Diego.

I do not Iike to do this.

- Then I won't have to move? - I did not say that.

I onIy said I wiII have a taIk with him.

Oh, wonderfuI.

Senorita.

PIease, senorita.

This is very pIeasant, but But I Iike you.

WeII, I Iike you too, but what about your boyfriend, Joaquin? Oh, him? Pooh on him.

Theresa.

Theresa, pIease.

Oh, no, Senorita Theresa, that is not the way.

You take just one arm, and you twist it around behind, not in front.

- Like this.

You see? - Oh.

- Buenos dÃas, Joaquin.

- Don Diego.

Buenos dÃas, Senor Castenada.

We were just showing the senorita how to capture criminaIs.

Oh? You shouId be with your cows.

What are you doing here? What are you doing? I am trying to seII tamaIes.

If you're not going to buy any, pIease, get away from my stand.

I have money.

I wouId Iike a tamaIe.

- Where's your armband? - My--? Oh.

I do not wear one of those things.

You've had quite a busy morning, haven't you? - I don't understand.

- Oh, yes, you do.

- What are you taIking about? - OId Joseph, the wood carrier.

Some soIdiers b*at him this morning for no reason at aII.

The oId one? I wouIdn't do a thing Iike that.

- Of course he wouIdn't.

- He's a soIdier.

- I am.

- He's aIso a friend.

Joaquin, you behave yourseIf.

Here's your tamaIe.

Five centavos.

I don't want it.

You ordered it.

Either you'II eat it, or you'II wear it.

AII right.

Five centavos.

It's getting Iate, Don Diego, if you're going to see Senor Rico.

Yes, of course.

Sergeant, you won't take any action tiII I return, wiII you? I'II try not to, but pIease hurry, Don Diego.

Remember my orders: AII of the peons must be moved from the pIaza by noon.

Not one peon wiII move, you overstuffed tamaIe.

- What do you say to that? - PIease, Theresa.

- Don't you touch her.

- Joaquin, Sergeant Garcia is a friend.

He wiII be a friend haIf his size if he touches Theresa again.

GARCIA: I have my duty.

- I have my Kn*fe.

Who asked you to interfere, huh? I can fight my own battIes.

There is no need for any fighting.

Is there, sergeant? - I hope not, Don Diego.

- You see? Of course, it depends.

If the orders are not changed, I wiII have to carry them out.

- Give me the Kn*fe.

- You heard what he said.

DIEGO: You cannot heIp Theresa this way.

Give it to me.

I'II take it.

Ugh! You men.

Sergeant Garcia, the especiales are coming.

Tear it down.

TroubIe, Bernardo.

You keep Joaquin out of this.

Garcia.

- SÃ, capitan.

- Why aren't these stands down? Senor Rico gave the peons untiI noon today.

- I was just asking them if they-- - Asking them? You don't ask peons, you teII them.

And you teII them so they understand.

I wiII show you how it is done.

Oh, you IittIe deviI.

PIease, Theresa, pIease.

I wouId not hit her, senor, if I were you.

Senor de Ia Vega, this is some concern of yours? - It is.

- Huh.

I did not know that you were reduced to seIIing tamaIes.

Because if you are, you had best find some other pIace.

I have been ordered by Governor Rico to remove aII of these stands.

I do not think that Adjutant Rico intended that you shouId destroy them.

Senor, you wish to question intentions, you speak to Governor Rico.

If you wiII be so kind as to reIease the senorita, we wiII do that immediateIy.

The senorita is under arrest, for resisting an officer of the king.

And, senor, I wouId suggest that you pay heed to the warning too.

- Garcia.

- SÃ, capitan.

- You are reIieved of your duty here.

- Gracias, capitan.

And I wiII be back and see that aII of these stands are torn down.

Now, bring her with me.

- Don Diego, save me.

Joaquin.

- Don Diego, Don Diego.

- Let go of me.

- It is better that you do not try to interfere.

They wiII Iock her up in the garrison jaiI.

Sergeant, what is happening in Monterey? I don't know, Don Diego.

But if Senor Rico gets to be governor, I can think what wiII happen.

Oh, you are fortunate to be Ieaving for Los AngeIes.

Not so fortunate, sergeant.

Our business wiII keep us here for some time.

Sergeant, Iet's us go back to Los AngeIes.

AII right, you have convinced me.

Now, I wiII go and pack our things, whiIe you go teII the adjutant that we are Ieaving the army.

Baboso, come back here.

- But you said I couId-- - Do you wanna get sh*t for desertion? - I just want to go home.

- Sergeant.

You'd better warn the peons to remove their stands - before these guards return.

- That is a good idea, Don Diego.

But where wiII they go? They have no pIace.

I do not know, but it is dangerous for them to remain here.

I wiII try and teII them.

Oh.

It is better for our friend Joaquin to have a Iump on the head instead of a buIIet in the back, eh? I hope he thinks so.

How is he? We'II have to see if we can get Theresa out of the garrison before he wakes up.

If we can't, I'm afraid Joaquin wiII start himseIf a w*r.

But why? Why? Why did you have to do that? I reaIize the action was drastic, Senor Rico, but aIso it was necessary.

AII right.

If it was necessary, then I find no fauIt with it.

You wanted the stands down, they're down.

I thought at first, maybe they couId just move them.

They can stiII move them.

If they can find aII their parts.

See who that is.

Your ExceIIency, it is Diego de Ia Vega.

He wants-- - Diego de Ia Vega, of course.

PIease.

- Gracias.

To what do we owe the honor of this visit? I was in the marketpIace when your especiales tore down the stands beIonging to the peons.

You were injured, Diego.

You were caught in the middIe of this unfortunate affair.

- I am sorry.

- No, I was not injured.

Then I-- I do not understand.

I came here to protest the treatment of these peopIe.

Now, they may be poor, but they are stiII subjects of the king.

- They have some rights.

- But not the right to fIaunt the Iaw.

To interfere with the administration of justice.

To oppose and impede the king's soIdiers in the performance of their duties.

These things, I wiII not toIerate.

Are you certain we are speaking of the same thing? I appreciate your concern over these peons, Senor de Ia Vega, but you must understand my position.

I have been entrusted with the safety and weIfare of Monterey in the governor's absence.

Oh, and, uh, you consider a peon seIIing tamaIes in the pIaza a danger to the safety of Monterey? The presence of an unIicensed mob is aIways a danger.

The pIaza has been overrun with thieves and pickpockets.

Now they wiII have to go eIsewhere to pIy their trade.

And what about the peons? They can buiId decent pIaces in which to seII their wares.

Let them contribute something.

Someday, de Ia Vega, the eyes of the worId wiII be on CaIifornia.

When this happens, I do not wish Monterey to be known as the presidio with the pigsties in the street.

I, too, wouId Iike visitors to see CaIifornia in a good Iight.

Good.

Then I shaII be happy to count on the support of you and your father.

Senor Rico, - perhaps I have not made myseIf cIear.

- You have.

Now, if you wiII pIease aIIow me to do the same.

I intend to make Monterey an exampIe of discipIined, weII-ordered government.

I wiII permit nothing to stand in my way.

Now, if you wiII pIease excuse me, I have severaI things to do.

Maybe we both have.

Then buenas tardes, Senor de Ia Vega.

Oh, uh, about Senorita Modesto.

The young Iady that your guards have Iocked in the ceIIs.

What do you intend doing with her? If you are interested, the baiIment is 20 pesos.

PIease pay the jaiIer.

She is very pretty, I understand.

- Are you the jaiIer? - SÃ.

Here.

- Twenty pesos.

- For what? BaiIment for the Senorita Modesto.

WiII you reIease her now? Thirty pesos.

I understood the baiI was 20 pesos.

Perhaps it is, if you wouId care to return this evening.

Thirty pesos.

- Don Diego.

- It's aII right.

You're free.

- I can go now? - Yes, you can go.

Come on now.

Come on.

Those brothers of burros.

Oh, behave yourseIf.

Thank you for getting me out of there.

- Are you aII right? - Yes.

- Did they frighten you? - No.

Yes.

Yes, I was.

Don Diego, I was so frightened.

It's aII right.

You don't have to be afraid any Ionger.

WeII, she's just gratefuI.

- Wait a minute.

- He hit me.

- I toId him to.

- You what? - I didn't want you to get hurt.

- Oh, thank you.

- WeII, you were outnumbered.

- This time.

But they won't aIways be so many.

Look, you don't aIways have to Iook for troubIe.

- Listen to Don Diego.

- You stay out of this.

Did the guards push down your cows, huh? Did they take you to jaiI? No.

AII you got was a hit in the head, and you want to fight.

WeII, somebody has to stand up to them.

It does not have to be you.

Aah! Look, I'm getting tired of this.

- Now, put that away.

- Stand aside.

- You have to get hit on the head again? - Just try it.

Any of you.

You.

You are so hot-tempered you forget who your friends are.

Now you want to fight with Don Diego.

WeII, go ahead and fight.

Get yourseIf kiIIed.

I don't care what happens to you.

But before you do, you take these pots over to my house.

You promised.

Now, come on.

I'm sorry about your weIcome, sergeant.

It does not matter, Don Diego.

We are getting used to it.

Everywhere we go, the peons are angry.

They're not angry in Los AngeIes.

Don't they understand you are foIIowing orders? No, Don Diego, I can't even make the corporaI understand.

Sergeant, Iet's go back to Los AngeIes.

See what I mean? WeII, in that case, sergeant, I can onIy say, ''Make the best of it.

'' SÃ, Don Diego.

But that is not so easy.

I am afraid the especiales are beginning to enjoy the things they are doing.

Say, what about them? Who are they? Bad ones.

I hate to admit it, Don Diego, but he is right.

They are the scum of the garrison.

It's a pity you have to take orders from such men.

An especiale can give orders to anybody.

And they do.

I wiII see you again, soIdier.

That one, he carries the weight of the worId on his shouIders.

- WeII, you can't bIame him, sergeant.

- No, Don Diego.

But I think perhaps he may find himseIf in troubIe.

What do you think, corporaI? I Iiked it in Los AngeIes.

Hit me, wiII you? I'II show you.

Out of the way.

You hear me? I said, out of the way.

You do not own the street.

Take him into the garrison.

Put it in soIid, it wiII be used many times.

HaIt.

- I wouId Iike to see Senor Rico.

- Senor Rico is not to be disturbed.

Very weII then, I wiII speak with Capitan Briones.

Ah, Senor de Ia Vega, you are here again? The guard informs me that I cannot see Senor Rico.

The governor is quite busy.

May I heIp you? I understand that you are hoIding Joaquin Castenada.

Do you? Where is he? I do not see him.

We are taking good care of him.

He has the speciaI ceII.

AII to himseIf.

- AII right, how much? - You cannot buy this one, senor.

Nothing can get him out of here.

We have pIans for him.

- You intend whipping him? - MyseIf.

In the morning, if you care to see it.

What did he do? Hmph.

Whoever toId you he was here can aIso teII you what he has done.

I wouId rather hear it from him.

May I speak with him? In the morning.

After we have finished with him.

Guard, Senor de Ia Vega is Ieaving.

He wiII not return again today.

You wiII see to it.

I couIdn't get him out.

They have him Iocked in a ceII with no Iight and no air.

Yes.

Tomorrow, they're going to whip him.

Of course he'II fight.

Then they'II have an excuse to kiII him.

Joaquin Castenada.

- This is Zorro.

- Zorro? Make the guard angry enough to enter your ceII.

- It's a Iong night.

- You better get back to the gate.

Let me out of here! Let me out of here! Silencio and go to sIeep whiIe you stiII have skin on your back.

- Make me! - He'II taIk differentIy tomorrow.

I know your face, guard.

When I get out of here, I wiII find you aIone and I wiII cut you to pieces.

- Get the key.

- Ah, forget him.

Nobody threatens me.

Get the key.

Let me out, Iet me out! Let me out of here! - Open it.

- The capitan won't Iike this.

I wiII.

- Who's there? - Patience, my friend.

Good work, amigo, but Ieave here quickIy.

Zorro.

Guards.

Guards.

Zorro is here.

I'II be aII right now, Senor Zorro.

These hiIIs are my home.

It might be wiser for you, my friend, to remain here then.

- Adios, amigo.

- Adios.
