:08:32
Therefore, until we receive
the reinforcements promised us...
:08:43
Huh?
:08:46
So people can still laugh in California.
I'd begun to think they'd lost the habit.
:08:51
- Your name?
- He claims to be the son ofthe alcalde.
:08:54
I claim nothing. I am Diego Vega,
son of His Excellency, Don Alejandro.
:08:59
And this, although I find it
greatly changed, is my home.
:09:02
Your pardon, I'd not heard ofyour returning.
Welcome to California.
:09:06
I'm Capitán Esteban Pasquale,
military aid to the alcalde.
:09:09
I'm honoured, Capitán, but bewildered.
:09:11
Tell me, why has my father
turned his home into a barracks?
:09:15
Conditions have changed since you leFT,
Don Diego. Your father... resigned.
:09:20
Age, you know. Since then, the peons
have become more, uh... more industrious.
:09:25
As to the caballeros, they're
encouraged to think oftheir own affairs.
:09:29
We take care ofthe government.
:09:33
I see.
:09:35
I see. Tell me, who holds the office now?
:09:39
- Don Luis Quintero. I'll take you to him.
- I'd like to see my family. Where are they?
:09:44
At your old hacienda.
:09:45
But Don Luis won't allow me to let you go
without a welcome from him.
:09:49
I'm quite sure that you...
you'll save me a reprimand.
:09:52
How could I refuse a man
with a naked sword in his hand?
:09:55
So a wit has come to Los Angeles.
Carry out your orders, Sergeant.
:09:59
Sí, mi capitán.
