:30:00
I understand exactly how you feel.
:30:05
Why should you care
about any of your leaders?
:30:10
The Spaniards oppressed you,
the Mexicans ignored you.
:30:16
And the dons ..?
:30:20
The dons seem content
to cheat and lie to you.
:30:27
Who, in your entire history,
has ever helped you?
:30:32
Zorro!
Zorro fought for the people.
:30:40
Yes, Zorro ...
:30:43
Where is he now, Padre,
your masked friend?
:30:48
He hasn't shown himself in 20 years.
20 years!
:30:54
The time has come to take
our destiny into our own hands.
:31:01
Not as Spaniards or Mexicans,
but as Californians.
:31:12
I stand here before you today
with no mask.
:31:17
Only a solemn pledge
that I will never abandon you.
:31:23
And you have my word -
:31:27
- that I will help you fight
for an independent California.
:31:43
Father ...
:31:50
Gentlemen, allow me
to introduce my daughter, Elena.
