The Legend of Zorro

Synopsis: The Legendary Zorro goes off on another adventure to protect the future of California and its citizens. This time, he fights against evil-doers with the help of his beautiful wife, Elena, and their precocious young son, Joaquin. Alejandro De LaVega is torn between two worlds: his life as Zorro and his life as a family man. After Alejandro once again breaks his promise to stop wearing the mask, Elena leaves him, and soon begins seeing Armand, a haughty French Count. But a mysterious explosion in the desert leads Zorro to believe that there's more to Armand than meets the eye, and our hero is intent on finding out what that is. Little does he know, there are others working to uncover certain truths as well.

Brother Ignacio?
What are you doing?
Five rings, padre.
To summon Zorro
in case there's trouble.
If I know Zorro, he's already here.
Aren't you supposed to be
in school?
Padre, what if Zorro comes?
I'll make sure he carves a Z on
your backside. How's that sound?
Really?
A landslide in favor of statehood.
Let's hope the rest of California
voted the same, huh?
Take this to the governor.
Hermano, be careful.
Our future's in your hands.
I pray that the other provinces
have been as peaceful as ours.
The latest model in heavy artillery,
the Henry repeater.
If God didn't hurl lightning,
he'd surely carry one of these.
State your business, McGivens.
I haven't voted yet.
I'm sorry, you're too late.
The polls have already closed.
Now, that doesn't seem equitable.
I have rights too.
Now, if you'd be kind enough,
hand me that box, I'll be on my way.
You'd only force the people
to vote again.
Well, you remember that Babylon
was condemned to ashes
for extending its empire
to inferior races!
I come to deliver the Lord's work
against this vote.
Time to do the Lord's work.
Zorro! Zorro! Zorro!
Move it. Move it. Get out of the way!
Get out of the way!
Get him!
Over the hill
to the governor's mansion.
I said, over the hill
to the governor's mansion!
We really have to work
on your English.
Zorro! Zorro! Zorro!
What happened?
Where are my men?
They were held up, governor.
I offered my help.
Citizens of San Mateo!
Today we have voted
to join the Union as a free state!
But this is only the beginning.
In three months
every vote of every pueblo
around California will be counted!
And it is my hope that we will
finally call ourselves
Americans!
Good boy.
Your saddle is getting
a little too tight, amigo.
Tell me we won.
Tell me we are free.
We're free.
- To statehood.
- To us.
I wish I was there today.
You were.
I cannot believe it.
We have our lives back.
Now we can take Joaquin
to a trip to Spain.
I cannot imagine
how it has changed.
- Elena...
- And New York.
You should see
New York, Alejandro.
It's as if the whole world
has moved onto one tiny island.
Elena, I've been thinking and...
Never a good sign.
Listen, California won't really be
a state for another three months.
Yes?
The federal marshals may need help
keeping things under control until then.
Look, I know what you're thinking...
Elena. Elena, listen, listen.
No, here is me, here is quitting.
We're this far apart. Elena.
I cannot believe it.
I cannot believe I fell for it.
Husband promises to quit,
gullible wife believes him.
How could I be so stupid?
Oh, Elena, you're overreacting.
I'm overreacting?
You made a promise.
- We made a promise.
- I know.
You are missing
your son's entire life.
No, no, no. No, no, no.
I am not missing anything.
- Oh, really?
- Really.
What is his teacher's name?
That's an easy one.
Mister... Brother...
Father Kin... Jin... Hoofer?
So I have a bad memory.
What does that prove?
That you do not know your own son.
And even worse,
he does not know you.
What would you rather have me do?
Live my life as a wealthy don?
Order servants around all day?
Is that what you think I do, huh?
Order servants around all day?
No, no, don't twist my words.
People still need Zorro.
No, no, no. You need Zorro.
Look me in the eyes
and tell me that is not true.
You remember what you said
the day Joaquin was born?
"My family is my life."
Do you know how lucky you are
to have made it this far? Alive?
That your enemies have not
discovered who we are?
For 10 years, you have fought
