01x05 - La ejecución

[bunniefuu]

There was a revolt last night

and two soldiers were wounded.

Tell me,

what do you think

I should do with you?

The law authorizes me

to hang you, but I wonder

What good would that do?

I know you see us as the enemy.

You think we snatched your land

away from you.

You're wrong!

I want one of you to take

this message to Zorro.

A horse!

k*ll him.

In the back?

sh**t, or I will.

sh**t.

The next time you disobey an order,

I'll have you shot, Captain.

Do you see?

Isn't it good?

We just eliminated

the ringleader of this group.

Now we wait for the judge

and then you'll be ex*cuted.

Put in the report: "attempted escape".

I don't even know his name.

What does that matter?

No judge will be coming.

And bury them outside the cemetery.

They're animals.

They don't deserve to rest

in hallowed ground.

My horse!

What was his name?

You don't seem very sad

about the death of your brother.

My brother was

a real son of a b*tch.

Fortunately, he died unexpectedly,

otherwise he would've

surely disinherited me.

It seems they've captured Zorro's men.

The letter said so.

Even so, I don't trust it.

Los Angeles is becoming

a very dangerous place.

That's why you hired me.

You needn't worry.

What's wrong?

There's a dead woman on the road.

She looks like a rancher.

Get her,

but put her in back,

I don't want her stinking us out.

Quickly!

Go with him.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax. Relax.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE RAMÍREZ'S

BROTHER ALIVE AGAIN, FREE MY MEN.

No trace of him.

No, sir.

Do you think he means it?

The coachman

and the g*nman were dead.

Remember, there are two now.

Are you completely sure

of this, Captain?

Absolutely, I saw it

with my own eyes.

Two Zorros.

It makes no sense.

Perhaps he is his pupil.

As if we didn't have enough with one.

Look into it.

I did, but no one

seems to know anything.

I don't want a word of this

to get out, to anyone.

There's only one Zorro and he's alone.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

Find Ramírez's brother.

Is it public?

Not yet.

What are you going to do about it?

California is the land

of opportunities, remember.

Of course.

The answer to your question,

Mr. Andréyevich, depends.

On the price the Russo-American

Company is willing to pay

to acquire Ramírez's coal mine.

Were it available, of course.

Would it be available

if Ramírez's brother dies?

There are no more heirs.

It'd pass to the government.

Why does Mexico want

another mine?

The price won't be a problem.

I'm glad to hear it.

Justice! Justice!

The next one will k*ll!

Disperse!

What's going on, Captain?

You needn't worry about anything.

You sh**t people for nothing?

My mission is to ensure peace,

Mr. De la Vega.

I won't allow any more altercations.

And if you want to know,

Zorro abducted Ramírez's brother.

Now he wants the Governor

to free his people in exchange for him.

The Governor will never allow that.

In fact, he's ordered them

to be ex*cuted in three days.

Without a trial?

Exemplary measures.

And what's your opinion?

I have no opinion,

I follow orders.

I advise you to be careful, Diego.

These aren't good times for ranchers.

If I may

I've come to give you a message.

We all know what Nah-Lin has done.

Some of you think it is fair.

But I can assure you that this path

only brings death and destruction.

Look around you.

You've lost your homes

because of her actions.

There is no justice in revenge.

Only pain.

Is that what you want?

Maybe Ramírez deserved to die,

but his brother is innocent.

Do you want to give

the Governor an excuse

to k*ll at his whim

and disregard the law?

k*ll Ramirez's brother,

but don't count on me.

Zorro does not k*ll the innocent.

I need Nah-Lin to know this.

If you k*ll me, your men will die.

And the reprisals

Imagine what will happen.

I don't believe

in the justice of the rich.

Nor do I.

But if Ramírez's brother

doesn't appear in three days,

your men will not survive.

Free him and they'll have

a chance to survive.

Captain, you've done a fine job

with those criminals.

The law is above everyone

and it must be complied with.

Without exceptions.

And Zorro? Do you have a lead on him?

I think he's desperate.

We captured his collaborators.

He'll be next full stop

And we will celebrate it accordingly.

Until then, we cannot

let our guard down.

With what's happening lately,

it's only natural.

California is becoming

a very wild land.

- Is it safe to go to town now?

- Do you mean because of Zorro?

Also, but because of the protests.

These attempts at rebellion

must be suppressed.

Or they'd spread

like wildfire, Doña Lucía.

But cannot such severity

end up turning against you?

The main thing is to keep order.

Negotiating with Zorro

would legitimize him,

so, unfortunately,

we don't have many options.

Of course not.

And we've never prospered so much

since the arrival of Pedro Victoria.

You should thank

the Russians for that.

Obviously it wouldn't be the same

if the Spanish were still here.

What do you think, Captain?

Are we better off with the Russians?

I think Don Tadeo is right.

Although no one really knows

what the Russians think.

- More sherry, Captain?

- Thanks.

Lolita?

Lolita?

- What?

- Is everything OK?

Sure. Yes, sorry. I'm just a bit tired.

What's worrying you?

You were distracted

almost the whole evening.

I'm fine, only

I don't want anything bad

to happen to those I love.

I promised to hunt Zorro down

and I will.

I want a smile before I go.

Get some rest.

Good night.

You must learn to behave.

You were rude to the captain.

Don't pretend, you want

to nullify my estate.

You're spoiled,

that's what you are.

You don't care about my happiness,

you only care about

expanding your ranch.

- Lolita, no.

- Mama, it's true.

Don't talk nonsense, the ranch

has nothing to do with it.

At least have the courage

to admit it.

Who do you think

you're talking to?!

Father or not, lay a hand

on me again and I'll k*ll you.

I mean it.

Leave her, leave her.

Take no notice of her.

She's very worked up.

She'll get over it.

I hope so.

At dinner she was playing constantly

with her engagement ring.

She's hesitating.

Let her make her own decisions

and don't confront her.

If you oppose the wedding,

she'll marry and you'll lose her.

Help.

Who are you?

José Antonio Ramírez.

Help.

Help me, please.

Ramírez's brother.

Water, water.

Relax, relax.

Slowly, slowly.

Thank you.

How did you manage to escape?

He freed me.

Zorro freed me.

Tell the Governor.

Help me take him to the office.

Quickly!

He passed out on the way.

He's very weak.

Tell the doctor,

he'll be in the saloon.

Sir.

Monasterio.

Are you sure Zorro freed him?

That's what he said.

We'll discuss this later.

Sir.

Where is Doctor Ros?

He just went upstairs

with one of the girls.

Room 4.

Get dressed,

you must come with me.

- Now?

- Now.

It's a matter of life or death.

There's nothing you can do.

Examine him if you wish.

He's dead.

I'm sorry for making you

come for nothing, Doctor.

No, never mind.

Shall I call the undertaker?

No, don't worry.

How did he die?

He suddenly started convulsing

and a few seconds later

It could've been internal bleeding,

if he was injured

Well, if you don't need me

for anything else,

the lady is waiting for me.

I thought you died

at the Ramírez ranch.

Not everything turns out

as one expects.

You're right,

I shouldn't have gambled with you.

Confucius says:

"The man who makes a mistake

and doesn't correct it,

makes another mistake".

I'm the housekeeper

for Diego De la Vega now.

Mr. De la Vega told me

to do the shopping

and the store owner watches me

like a hawk because I'm Chinese.

As you know, Mr. Tchang,

in Los Angeles no one trusts the Chinese.

You, give this to señor Diego.

We'll take everything crossed off

to the ranch tomorrow.

Understood?

She said she'll take

the rest to the ranch.

Thank you.

Good luck in the next hand.

The game isn't over yet.

Fire away, mon ami.

Do you know if my father

and Ramirez had business together?

Not that I know of.

They had a cordial relationship.

Could there be a link

between their deaths?

The official version says

that Zorro k*lled both of them.

What are you getting at?

Ramirez told me my father

bought expl*sives from him.

For the Scotsman's mine, yes.

Your father had a lot of business

that unfortunately came to nothing.

- Do you know what he was after?

- Sure. What are they all after?

Coal.

I know what you're thinking.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, mon ami.

There's no gold in California.

The real gold is land.

I hope you're not offended

by what I'm about to say.

Please.

You can't imagine how many things

I've been told since I came.

Thanks to the Governor,

the ranchers are increasingly richer.

The peasants and natives, poorer.

If they lose everything,

they'll also lose fear.

And if they lose fear,

blood will flow.

Zorro k*lled Ramirez's brother.

- What?

- Are you sure?

Is the undertaker

reliable enough for you?

We have work to do, ma chérie.

Excuse me.

He was innocent.

He had nothing to do

with his brother.

ZORRO RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR

RAMÍREZ DIES

I don't get it. She doesn't even care

about Zorro's reputation.

I must do something.

Have you come to avenge yourself?

If I had, you'd be dead.

Check the windows.

It's thoughtful of you

to come and tell me.

I didn't do it.

It's so there's no doubt

about whom they chose.

Why have you come?

I didn't k*ll Ramírez's brother.

I believed you

when you said that revenge

was not the way and I freed him.

- Half dead.

- He was alive.

What happened after

is not up to me.

Someone k*lled him.

Monasterio found him,

he'd never do that.

It goes against the rules.

I don't know who did it,

but it wasn't me.

I believe you.

What's the next great idea?

We make a pact and join forces.

What for?

To liberate your people.

There's no time now.

How are you at improvisation?

The suit is too big for you.

It's too big for you.

Are you sure this will work?

Considering the result

of your last idea,

I believe I deserve

the benefit of the doubt.

Why?

Are you afraid there'll be

another expl*si*n?

I don't want to die

before I avenge my people.

A good reason to live.

Ready!

Where are you going?

I have personal matters to settle

at the Ramírez house.

What was that?

Quickly! Get it all!

I can't see him!

I can't see him!

Come on!

Where is he?

Where is he?

Is it possible that my father

belonged to a secret society?

Or was fighting them?

My father's K*llers wore them, yes.

- Breakfast.

- Thank you, Mei.

Try it.

Try it.

I'm to try it?

Ask her what it is.

The traditional breakfast of China.

Try this delicious food.

It's terrible.

Thank you, sir.

I knew you'd like it.

Here, try it.

Go on, try it.

It's delicious.

I'm glad you like it.

I don't know if

I'm doing the right thing.

I put on the mask and tell everyone

to not seek revenge, but justice.

When I take it off, I seek it

for the death of my father.

Where's the sense in that?

Zorro gives people hope, yes.

I don't know if he'll give it to me.

I'm afraid that what I may find

will disappoint me.

No, I'm not afraid of the truth.

I'm worried about its consequences.

There's something I haven't told you.

I made a pact with her.

There's a matter we can only settle

if we act together.

Getting them all out of prison

is a suicide mission.

We have to do it here.

We'll need horses and wagons

here, here and here.

No, we have expl*sives.

We attack the prison tonight.

Yes, and in passing we blow up

the Governor's mansion,

it's a symbol of oppression.

I like it.

Mami, a bottle, two glasses

and a key.

I must speak to you.

Sure, and it can't wait today either.

No.

I'll keep it for later.

Tell me what you want, Captain.

When I left Ramirez's brother,

he was injured

but not at death's door.

Are you insinuating that

I don't know my profession,

or that he was m*rder*d?

I'm not insinuating anything.

I just want to know the truth.

There's only one way to find out.

By asking the man himself.

Follow me.

Los Angeles looks like a ghost town.

People don't want to come out

at night, they're afraid.

Afraid of Zorro.

Of Zorro?

No, of you and your men.

Captain. Only the rich

are afraid of Zorro.

Juan de Dios, help me lift him.

I want to see his back.

That's enough. Thank you.

Hey!

Alive or dead, he's still a person.

Treat him with respect.

Sorry, Captain.

I'll take care of it. Thank you.

Leave us alone.

No signs of internal bleeding

on the night of his death.

Then he died of natural causes.

Not necessarily.

All we know for sure

is that he suffocated.

When someone suffocates,

we normally hit them

so that they react or breathe.

Look,

I've seen a lot of blows in my life,

and this body shows

no attempt at resuscitation.

I'll swear it on the Bible.

That is my conclusion.

Now you can draw yours.

Justice!

Governor, where's the judge?

You ask for justice and you're right.

Because justice and the law

ensure order.

But I'm not the one

who took it from you.

It was them.

Zorro and his men,

these men here,

k*lled Ramírez and his men

in a cowardly manner.

They attacked farms,

stole your food

and k*lled ranchers

and innocent peasants.

José Antonio Ramírez was ex*cuted

by Zorro in cold blood.

And you demand a fair trial

for his henchmen?

No judge would sentence them

to anything but death!

And we shall deal death

to all enemies of Los Angeles,

California and Mexico.

Oh my God! The Governor's house!

What was that?

Is everything ready?

Then you know what you must do.

Finish him off once and for all.

- Sir, the prisoners

- What are you waiting for?

The expl*si*n was at

the Governor's house!

No one gets up on the gallows!

Secure the square!

Let's go!

Captain!

It's Zorro!

Go up and get him!

Do as the Governor says! Go!

Cover him! Go!

He's getting away!

k*ll him! I want his head!

Captain! What are you doing?

There were two!

It's a trick! Come back!

Fire!

What are you waiting for?

k*ll him!

Find them! They can't be far!

I want them dead!

Do you hear me? Dead!

How could you miss?

He was too far away.

You disappoint me, Captain.

You disappoint me!

They're all safe.

You kept your word.

That is an apology.

We did this together.

Now each goes their own way.

Today you saw that there are

other ways to do things.

You want to bring peace

to this world.

I want to change it.

The white man will never understand

the energy of the sacred.

And you won't

because you don't even know

the land where you were born.

You keep your word and that

deserves my respect. Don't lose it.

Why not work together?

Because there's only one Zorro.

Would you agree to be my second?

Neither would I.
