The Mask of Zorro Page #4

- There is nothing outside of it.

Captain Love does not exist

until I say he exists.

As your skill improves you will

progress to a smaller circle.

Each new circle brings you

that much closer to your adversary.

That much closer to retribution.

- I like that part.

- Shall we?

Slow. Attack slow. Attack.

Slow. Again. Slow.

First triangle. Slowly. Good.

- Good. That is good.

- Thank you.

Attack.

Good.

Time for a drink.

Perfect. Do it again.

One, five, three!

Six, four, two!

And lunge.

Over-lunge!

Lesson number one:

Never attack in anger.

Lesson number two:

Come with me.

What?

- So, what is lesson number three?

- To get to lesson number four.

Again?

- Black Andalusian. Magnificent.

- It looks like your old horse, Tornado.

Quiet, quiet.

Damned horse. What are you

doing, huh? What are you doing?

I'll see you tonight.

Zorro, you look better than ever.

Be careful, seorita,

there are dangerous men about.

Well, if you see any,

be sure to point them out.

Listen. I'm going to give you

the great honor...

...of being my horse.

We are like one spirit.

Damn it! Stop!

Go, go, go!

Get him!

Kill him.

Zorro! The legend has returned!

Don't yell.

I need sanctuary, Father.

You don't know me...

Zorro! Of course I know you.

Zorro, is it really you? The years

have been kinder to you than to me.

I have no time to talk now.

Father, please, hide me.

Come.

It's just like the old days.

Padre, is that you?

Is everything all right? It sounds

like there is a battle going on.

Don't worry, my dear. You are safe

in the house of the Lord.

Of course, Padre.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

It has been three days

since my last confession.

How many sins could you

have committed in three days?

Come back when you have

more time, please.

- Excuse me?

- Listen, seorita...

Please, go on.

- I broke the Fourth Commandment.

- You killed somebody?

- That's not the Fourth Commandment.

- Of course not.

In what way did you break

the most sacred of Commandments?

I dishonored my father.

That is not so bad.

Maybe your father deserved it.

- What did you say?

- I said, tell me more, my child.

Well, I try to behave properly,

the way my father would like me to.

- But I'm afraid my heart is too wild.

- Too wild?

- Yes.

- Could you be more specific?

I had impure thoughts about a man.

I did. I think he was a bandit

or something. He wore a black mask.

- He had a deep voice?

- Yes.

- Ruggedly handsome?

- His face was half-covered.

But something in his eyes

captured me.

Captured you.

I felt warm and feverish.

Lustful?

Yes, lustful.

Forgive me.

I forgive you.

Look over there, by the altar.
