:47:01
I find it reassuring.
:47:03
Let me show you something, young man.
:47:08
Look.
:47:10
Madre de Dios. The mark ofZorro.
:47:12
Mm-hm. He came here one night.
:47:15
He threatened my life and leFT that.
:47:20
I... I should be petrified.
:47:23
He's mad, of course. Quite mad.
:47:26
- You think so?
- Of course.
:47:29
There was a case in Madrid, almost identical.
:47:33
This fellow's mark was a cross.
He was a madman.
:47:37
Cunning beyond belief. They always are.
:47:39
He killed 40 people.
:47:42
Slit their throats from ear to ear.
:47:44
Warned them first, you know, and then...
:47:47
Santa María.
:47:49
It's a pity your sense of duty
keeps you here, Excellency.
:47:53
- Frightful risk.
- Sense of duty?
:47:56
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
:47:59
I'm so sorry to have kept you, Don Diego.
Esteban was surly about our little ride.
:48:03
I'd promised the morning to him, it seems.
:48:05
Señora, your invitation
was like a smile from heaven.
:48:08
- I was positively suffocating with boredom.
- Then let's fly. I'm dying for a canter.
:48:13
Oh, goodbye, Luis. Don't work too hard.
:48:16
- Goodbye, Excellency.
- Goodbye, goodbye.
:48:28
Esteban, that young Vega
Just told me a horrible tale
:48:31
about a madman in Madrid, like this Zorro.
:48:35
- He thinks I run a great risk by staying here.
- Forget your fears. I have a plan.
:48:39
Yes? What is it?
:48:41
Don Alejandro is the leader ofthe caballeros.
:48:44
This Zorro wants you to appoint him
in your place. What do you gather from that?
:48:49
Well, go on.
:48:51
Doesn't it suggest to you that Zorro
is the tool of Don Alejandro?
:48:54
Perhaps, but how can we prove it?
:48:57
We can at least help the situation.
:48:59
- How?
- Form an alliance with Don Alejandro.
