01x10 - Garcia's Secret Mission

[bunniefuu]

(THUNDERCLAP)

♪ Out of the night when
the full moon is bright

♪ Comes a horseman
known as Zorro

♪ This bold renegade
carves a "Z" with his blade

♪ A "Z" that stands for Zorro

♪ Zorro!

♪ The Fox so cunning and free

♪ Zorro!

♪ Who makes the sign of the "Z"!

♪ Zorro, Zorro, Zorro

♪ Zorro, Zorro ♪

(ROOSTER CROWS)

Sergeant Garcia, look.

Zorro?

(GRUMBLING) Something told me I should
not have gotten out of bed this morning!

Don't just stand
there. Take it down!

The rope is gone.
I think it's nailed.

Then climb up the
pole and un-nail it!

Climb?

At once, before the
Comandante sees it!

(YELLING)

Why is it whenever I want
anything done, I have to do it myself?

Here, take this.

And this. Now stand aside.

But, the pole is... Silence!

"Z" for Zorro!

You! Come here.

Stand on my shoulders.

We're gonna get this
flag down if it takes us all...

You on his shoulders... Si.

Sergeant Garcia!

(YELLING)

(LAUGHTER CONTINUES)

Ooh!

Garcia, what are you up to?

Nothing, Capitan.

If you have completely
finished your little game,

you are at liberty
to explain this!

It was only a little
accident, Comandante.

We wanted to get that down!

What is wrong with that?

Zorro!

See what you are causing?

You are making me the
laughingstock of the pueblo!

Guard, arrest those
two vagabonds! Quickly!

Hold it. Halt.

So, you think that insult to my
command is amusing, do you?

No, Comandante!

No, you're not funny at all!

Silence! Take them inside.

Sergeant, give these two rogues
30 lashes and 30 days in the cells!

Oh, please don't, Comandante!

Our wives and
children! They go hungry!

Silence! Throw
them in the cells!

Oh, Sergeant.

The stable roof was to have
been repaired this week, was it not?

Si, Comandante.

Good.

That gives me another
idea. One moment!

Guards, release the prisoners.

Bring them out!

Gracias!

Your pleas for mercy have touched
me deeply. Your sentence is canceled.

Instead, you will
repair the stable roof.

Patch it so that
it no longer leaks.

This will require about

30 buckets of pitch which
you may bring from the tar pits.

The task must be
completed by sunset

tomorrow or your
families will suffer!

Thirty buckets by tomorrow?

This is impossible, Comandante!

The tar pits are miles away.

Even if you give us a
wagon and men to help...

I will give you nothing except
60 lashes and 60 days in the cells

if the task is not
completed on time!

Can we take the first sentence?

Silence!

As for you, Sergeant,

I will give you just two
minutes to remove that flag.

Two minutes, understood?

Si, Comandante!

Please, Sergeant Garcia,
can you not help us?

Help you? I've got
troubles of my own!

Corporal...

Yes, sir.

Bring me an axe.

(KNOCKING)

Come in!

You got it down?

Si, Comandante.

And the pole, too! What?

(GROANS) I want that pole
replaced immediately, Sergeant!

Si, but it was the only
way I could get this down.

Answer me this.

How is it possible for Zorro to
enter the cuartel unobserved,

nail up that insulting flag
and leave without being seen?

I hold you personally
responsible!

Me, Capitan?

You are not worth your pay!

Begging your pardon, but I
have not been paid for six months!

Hold your tongue! I
ought to have you...

That might be an
excellent idea, Sergeant!

An idea, Capitan, about me?

Answer me this.

Why have we not been
able to catch Zorro?

Because...

There are two reasons.

One is you are so stupid and
he eludes you at every turn,

the other is people in the
district are protecting him.

They will not cooperate with us.

But, if there was
someone we could trust,

someone to mingle with the
people, find out where Zorro hides...

There is no such person.

I think there is.

You! Me?

But no one trusts me, Capitan.
They know I work for you.

You must be dismissed from
service. Dishonorably dismissed!

Dishonorably?

As a private citizen, you
might learn Zorro's whereabouts

set a trap for him and
send me a message.

Once and for all, I
would be rid of him!

You think so? I
mean, you think so?

If this were done, Sergeant,
you might get a promotion!

A lieutenancy?

Lieutenant Garcia!

Very well. It is settled!

You must be publicly
stripped of your rank.

The court martial will
take place this afternoon.

(BUGLE PLAYING)

(DRUMROLL)

Buenas tardes,
Alcalde. Buenas tardes.

What is happening?

Sergeant Garcia is being
dropped out of service.

What did he do?

Something about
a flag Zorro put up.

Con permiso.

This we must see!

Sergeant Garcia, uncover!

Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia,

by the authority invested in me

as Comandante of this district,

I hereby publicly
announce your court martial.

You have been found guilty
of the following charges.

Stupidity, maliciousness.

Incompetency.

Indolence, unreliability.

Irresponsibility.
Insubordination.

Insolence and slovenliness.

Please, Capitan,
couldn't I just be guilty?

And guilty of conduct
unbecoming an officer...

and a gentleman!

I therefore declare you unfit

to wear the uniform
of His Royal Majesty,

and forthwith relieve
you of your post!

You are dishonorably discharged
from serving His Majesty the King.

Corporal, dismiss the company!

Si, mi Capitan.
Company dismissed!

I would hate to think that all
this happened because of me!

Oh! Be careful, Senor!

It has taken half a day
to fill up these buckets!

Si, all the way to the
tar pits and back on foot!

Where were you taking them to?

To repair the stable
roof for the Comandante.

Thirty buckets by
tomorrow at sunset he says,

or 60 lashes and 60 days!

What crime did you commit?

No crime!

We laughed at the fat sergeant
trying to get Zorro's flag down.

Andale, Pancho, we've
got 26 more buckets to fill!

Oh, si.

No, these innocent people must not
suffer because of the prank I played.

Stay with the
carriage, Bernardo.

Senorita, could I...

Could I have a drink,
please? A little service?

May I join you?
Please do, Don Diego.

If you do not mind sitting
with a miserable ex-sergeant!

Tio, a bottle of your
very best wine, please.

At once, Don Diego!

You are most kind, Don Diego.

Why not? You're a civilian now.

I was dismissed dishonorably
in front of the whole pueblo!

That dog of a
Monastario will regret it!

Be careful what
you say about him!

What do I care? I
can call him what I like.

I am glad I no longer have
to do his dirty work for him!

But, Don Diego, the life
of a soldier is all I know.

Who will give me a job?

That shouldn't be too difficult.

No one will hire me. I
have no honest trade.

I shall become a vagrant.

A beggar.

Tomorrow may find
me even in jail, unless...

If I knew where to find this
Zorro, I would ask him for help.

Zorro, but he's an outlaw.
Surely you can't mean that!

But I do. Zorro is a friend of
the common people, is he not?

Have no fear, I am no longer a
soldier. I, too, am a common people.

Here you are.
The finest we have!

Oh, Tio, are you sure you have no
position here that Garcia might fill?

I don't think so. I
can serve the wine.

Maybe you need a
new bartender, eh?

A waiter? Possibly a porter?

A pot washer?

If you work for
your food and a bed.

He can make up for the
drinks he has never paid for!

There you are. A
most gracious offer!

But it will be only temporary,
I assure you, Don Diego.

I'll tell you a little secret.

I've made up my mind.

As soon as I can, I am
going to join forces with Zorro!

Yes, I know. Sergeant Garcia
has been saying all over the pueblo

that he would like to
join forces with Zorro.

Shall we let him?

TIO: Garcia!

When you've finished, scour the
pots and scrub the kitchen floor.

Then you can sleep
on the bed in back.

Yes, Senor Gonzalez.

I would also suggest that instead
of scratching, you take a bath!

I am... I mean, I shall!

Senor Zorro!

I am no longer your enemy.
I wish to be your friend.

So I have heard. Why?

I see things differently now.

I, like you, wish
to see justice done.

Quite a change of heart, eh?

Now I understand why you
fought against Monastario.

I can be of great value to
you if you allow me to join you.

Perhaps we shall test
this newfound purity!

Anything for a chance to settle
my account with the Comandante!

Very well.

Meet me at dawn at the
signpost to La Brea Rancho.

Si, si!

(KNOCKING)

(DOOR RATTLING)

Let me in. I have an important
message for the Comandante!

GARCIA: Comandante! Comandante!

Wake up, please!

MONASTARIO: What do you want?

How dare you disturb
me at this hour?

Your plan, Capitan! It worked!

(SNIFFS) You smell like a
winery! Have you been drinking?

A little accident.
But, I have seen him!

Seen who?

Zorro! He was
just at the tavern.

Zorro? The real Zorro?

I am meeting him at dawn.

Zorro took you
into his confidence?

As if I were his own mother!

I do not believe it. Where
are you meeting him?

At the signpost of
the La Brea Rancho.

At dawn, you say? Hmm.

Go back to the inn and take
a horse from their stables.

Si, Capitan.

I will follow at a distance
with a company of lancers.

We shall prepare a
little surprise for Zorro.

And I shall become a lieutenant!

Go now while I dress.

Tell the corporal I will leave
the orders of the day on my desk.

At once, Capitan.

Be careful, Pepe.

Bones of ancient animals and
even men have been found in there.

Si! Yesterday, I saw part
of a skull like a big elephant!

Oh! Don't fall in.

I'm too tired to pull you out!

The way I feel, it wouldn't
make any difference!

What's the use to keep on?
We can never finish by sunset!

I was wondering, which
one would be worse?

Sixty lashes,

or shall we just throw
ourselves into the tar pits?

(HORSE APPROACHING)

It's the sergeant who
got thrown out of the army.

Maybe that's why
he looks so happy.

Or because he
doesn't have to walk!

(MORE HORSES APPROACHING)

Are they after the sergeant?

Who knows? They'll be after
us if we don't get a move on!

Well, what is it?

This was on the
signpost, Capitan.

It says, "Proceed to San Vincente
rock". It is signed with a "Z".

What are you waiting for?

San Vincente rock
is a long way off.

I know where it
is. Get on with it!

We will be right behind you!

How do I know why the Comandante
wants it? It's in the orders of the day.

"Bring every bucket in the
cuartel in my carriage to the tar pits,

"where you will
receive instructions."

Harness the horses.
Orders are orders!

It says to meet
him at the summit.

Must I climb all
the way up there?

Naturally! Follow
his instructions.

I wonder... No, he must be
up there. Dismount quickly.

We will be right behind you.

Si, Comandante.

(PANTING)

(GRUNTING)

Comandante, I don't
know how to say this, but...

He is not here! And you helped
lead us on a wild goose chase!

Me, Capitan? Why would
Zorro mislead me like this?

He wanted us away.

He's probably
burning the barracks!

Ooh, this is all your fault! Lancers,
back to the horses immediately!

Baboso!

That looks like the Comandante's
coach. What's going on?

Who cares? Come on, compadre.

If you value your life, obey,
without asking questions.

Whatever you say, Senor Zorro.

Take the buckets
out. Fill them with pitch.

Well, you're an excellent
worker, Corporal.

Now the buckets are full,
take them to the cuartel.

Finish repairing
the stable roof.

If you do good, I will not let the
Comandante know you used his carriage.

Andale!

Wait, Capitan, wait!

Could we not rest for a moment?

My horse is about ready to drop!

All right, but not for long.

That scoundrel Zorro's up to
something to make me look ridiculous!

All right. That is long
enough. Mount up, lancers.

Hola, Capitan! Are
you looking for me?

Zorro! After him! Ha!

(LAUGHING)

There he is!

What's the matter, Comandante?

Are your horses tired?

Lancers, charge!

Oh!

Babosos! Get me out of here!

Adios, Comandante!

Ah, Capitan Monastario, I've
been waiting to ask you a question.

I see your stable roof
has been coated with pitch.

Such a wonderful job!
I wondered who did...

Oh, but of course, I see
that you all must have

pitched in?

You are not very
amusing, de la Vega!

Get these men and
horses inside quickly!

Well, Sergeant
Garcia. Congratulations!

I see the Comandante
has taken you back again!

Please, Don Diego, this
is no time for compliments.

Another time, please?

CORPORAL: Guards, heat water,
plenty of it, and get those gates closed!
