First US Airdate 19 October 1990   Episode 2.6

[Exterior shot of a carriage carrying Don Alejandro and Diego through the pueblo gate.]

[Exterior shot of the plaza where people are milling about.]

[Exterior shot of Diego then Don Alejandro getting out of the carriage.  They walk over to where a wagon with a cloth covered object waits near the fountain.]

Victoria [coming up to Don Alejandro and Diego]
Buenos dias, Don Diego, Don Alejandro.  Such a gathering.  Why has the alcalde summoned the entire pueblo?

Diego
I think we're about to find out.

[Exterior shot of Ramone as he climbs up onto the wagon.  Mendoza stands on the ground to Ramone's left.]

Ramone 
I bring you greetings from your governor.  Governor Ontiveros has determined that the free speech we practice here in Los Angeles. . .

[The people start laughing.  Victoria looks over at Don Alejandro and Diego who both smile.]

Mendoza
Silencio!  Silencio!

Ramone 
The next man who contradicts the governor will be flogged!  [Everyone quiets down.] That's better.  As I was saying, it has been determined that the free speech we practice here in Los Angeles is nothing without a free press! [Diego nods in agreement.] Henceforth, every pueblo will have its own newspaper. To this end, the governor has given us this. . . [He pulls off the cloth off the object behind him.] A printing press! [He raises up his arms.]  Ha!

[People start murmuring excitedly.]

Ramone 
Now a newspaper needs an editor.  There are educated men among you.  In his Excellency's name, I am  .seeking a volunteer.

Victoria [looking over at Don Alejandro and Diego]
Hmm. . .  If anyone speaks out against the alcalde, he will put him in his jail.  No, this volunteer needs more cunning than education.

Don Alejandro
Hmm. . .  I know someone with more education than cunning.

[Don Alejandro and Victoria turn to look at Diego.]

Ramone [off camera]
. . .cooperate.  Don Diaz will arrive in just a few days.  Let us show him how civic minded we are here in Los Angeles.

[Diego reluctantly raises his hand.]

Ramone [pointing at Diego]
You're volunteering, Don Diego?

Diego
Yes.  Uh, that is. . .I think I am.

[He looks at Don Alejandro then Victoria.  People start cheering and clapping.  Mendoza smiles and looks up at Ramone.]

Diego
I will publish a newspaper, to be called the. . .'Los Angeles Guardian'.  It will expose what is good in our community and what is bad.

Ramone 
I commend your public spiritedness, Don Diego.

[Diego stares up at Ramone.]

*****COMMERCIAL BREAK*****

[Exterior shot of Felipe running.]

[Interior shot of the de la Vega hacienda library where Diego stands in front of the fireplace, holding and open book.]

Diego [quoting from the book]
"Better we should have a newspaper without a government than a government without a newspaper."

[A door is slammed off camera.  Felipe then runs up to Diego.]

Diego [pointing to the book]
Hear this, Felipe.  Thomas Jefferson on freedom of the. . .  What is it?

[Felipe raises both of his arms over his head, then stretches them out to Diego.]

Diego
Fire. . .

[Felipe then rolls his right wrist then points into the air to his right.]

Diego
In the northern valley. . .

[Felipe then puts his hands on his hips then brings then back up, first the right then the left and crooks his index finger on both hands.]

Diego
Outlaws attacking the farms again.  Come on!  We're off.

[He closes the book then puts his hand on Felipe's back as they turn and walk toward the fireplace.]

[Exterior shot of a man on horseback carrying a burning pile of hay on a pitchfork.]

Man
Ha, ha, ha.

[He tosses the burning hay forward where it lands on a larger pile of hay which quickly ignites.]

Farmer [off camera at first]
No, Señor!  Please!  Please, no!

[The farmer spins around trying to avoid the three men on horseback who are riding around in front of his house.  One of them ties a rope to a gate then yanks it open.  Another man uses his horse to drive the farmer back against his house.  The man then takes out a lasso and starts twirling it above his head.  Zorro rides up behind the man with the lasso and coils his whip around the man's right wrist then yanks the man off his horse.  The man falls on his stomach then looks up to see Zorro.  He gets to his feet and runs to his left.]

Man
Zorro!  Hey!  Hey!  Come on!  Let's go!

[Another of the men shoots at Zorro.  The shot passes in front of Zorro and hits an object behind him.  Zorro turns to look as the top of the object flies into the air.  The man who shot tries to turn his horse around as Zorro unsheathes his saber.  The man then throws his pistol at Zorro, who catches it with his right hand.]

Zorro
A generous gift, Señor.  I couldn't possibly accept.  Please, take it back.

[He throws the pistol at the man, hitting him in the back of the head as he rides away.  The man falls off his horse.  A third man brandishes a pitchfork as his horse rears.]

Man
Come on!  Giddy-up!

[Zorro picks up his saber from his lap.  The two men ride at each as though they are jousting.  Zorro knocks the pitchfork downward with his saber.  The pitchfork's tines (which went from 4 tines to 2!) stick into the ground and the man is pulled off his horse.]

Man [as he lands on the ground]
Aah!

Farmer [as he tries to put out the burning hay by beating on it with a board]
Señor Zorro!  Please!  Help!

Men
Let's get out of here.

[They ride off.  Zorro rides up to the burning hay and dismounts.  He grabs a bucket and pours water on the fire.]

Farmer [as he continues to beat on the fire]
Mil gracias, Zorro.  I am in your debt.

Zorro
My pleasure, amigo. [He draws another bucket of water from the nearby well.] You can repay me by telling me who those outlaws were.

Farmer
Men with no faces, no names.  They said unless I paid them, they'd destroy my farm.

Zorro [dropping the bucket as the fire is put out]
They appear to be quite sincere.

Farmer
I have no money, Señor.  What I have is what you see.  But one day, this ranch will stretch as far as the eye can see.  And no masked man can take that away from me.  No offense.

Zorro [chuckling then growing serious]
Hold onto that dream, Jose.  Help will come your way.

[Zorro walks past Jose, who turns around to look at him.]

Jose
Wait!  What help, Señor?

Zorro [sitting on Toronado's back]
A newspaper called ‘The Guardian'.  Your strength will come from the written word.

[He turns Toronado to the left and rides away.]

Jose
But I don't know how to read.

[Interior shot of a room containing the printing press, Don Alejandro, Victoria, and Diego, who is seated at a table.  Felipe walks up to Diego and hands him a piece of paper.]

Diego
Ah, Felipe, you got the information I requested. [He reads the note.] Look at this!  The men who contracted to improve the pueblo's water supply actually work for the alcalde.  No wonder we have a drought.  Page one, Father, nine point Bedonia Bold type. [Mendoza walks into the room and removes his hat.] Title it. . .'Graft in the Cuartel'.

Don Alejandro [pointing at Diego and smiling]
Good!

Diego [handing a piece of paper to Felipe]
Take this to Don Carlos, please. [Felipe leaves.] Sergeant Mendoza, what a pleasant surprise.  I hope you're not here in any official capacity.

Mendoza [a bit nervously]
Oh, no. [He chuckles.] I was just wondering, perhaps I might write for your newspaper.

[Victoria looks up from where she is setting type.]

Mendoza
I have so many wonderful recipes to share.

Diego
A food column is an excellent idea.  Are you sure the alcalde would approve?

Mendoza
Well, I could use another name.  I was thinking perhaps Señor Estomago.

Victoria [coming over to Diego and Mendoza]
Diego, um, I think advice on affairs of the heart would be more in demand.  There are many young men and women whose only counsel is the good padre.

Diego
Who of necessity, is ignorant of such passions.

Victoria
I think. . .'Doña Corazon' will be your most popular feature.

Mendoza
‘Señor Estomago' will be an added attraction.

[Victoria leans forwards and shakes her head.]

Diego
Well then, go and write my friends.  Let us see which of your columns is the best.

[Mendoza turns and leaves.  Victoria starts to leave but realizes she is holding a tray of type.  She goes over and puts it down then leaves the room.  Diego shakes his head.  He then picks up a piece of paper and stands up as Don Alejandro works on the press.]

Diego
Father, our lead story has got to be about these attempts on the farmers.  But no one is coming forward to testify.

[Don Alejandro wipes his hands on a white cloth then tosses it aside.]

Don Alejandro [stepping toward Diego]
It's about time you left this ivory tower of yours, Diego.  A good journalist doesn't wait for a story to bite him on the nose.  He goes out to find it!

Diego [excitedly]
You're absolutely right!

[He turns to his left and walks away, leaving Don Alejandro standing with his hands on his hips and smiling.]

[Exterior shot of Jose's farm as Jose pushes a sheep into a pen.]

Jose [taking something from his waistband]
This morning I found this note pinned to my door. [He hands it to Diego.] Can you tell me what it says?

Diego [unfolding the note and reading from it]
It's from the outlaws.  You have until the full moon to pay or they will return and burn your farm to the ground.

Jose
Why do the alcalde's men not protect us?  Whenever the outlaws appear, they are always on maneuvers.

Diego [tucking the note inside his jacket]
It's a good question.  I'll check into it.

[He pats Jose on the arm.]

Jose [as Diego mounts his horse]
Can ‘The Guardian' make a difference as Zorro says?  The full moon comes in two nights.

Diego
Stand fast, Jose.

[He turns his horse and rides away as Jose watches.]

[Closeup shot of a string being held over an open flame, causing an explosion.  The camera pulls back to show Felipe in the secret cave as he jumps back, surrounded by smoke.]

Diego [walking into the secret cave]
A lesson in chemistry, Felipe.  When is a piece of string not a piece of string?  Answer: When it is treated [He picks up a piece of paper.] with this.

[Diego places the paper on the lab table then sprinkles something on it, then blows on it.  He shakes the paper as he brings it over and places it on a wire rack then reaches for the flame.  The quote ‘To be or not to be that is the question.' is printed on the paper.]

Diego [as he moves the flame around underneath the paper.]
Señor Shakespeare also asks a timely question.

[The words on the paper have disappeared.  Felipe looks up at Diego in surprise.]

Diego [as he stands up and opens a small book]

Now then, my first editorial for ‘The Guardian'; ‘A Farmer's Plight', begins with "The good people of Los Angeles have a right to know why. . ."

[Interior shot of Ramone's office as Ramone walks over and sits down behind his desk.  Another man sets a bag on Ramone's desk.]

Man
Your share of our profits.  There is only one farmer in the valley who hasn't met my demands.  And I'll make an lesson of him at the. . .

Ramone [irritatedly]
The next full moon.  Yes, I know.  Your threats are well known, thanks to the newspaper.  Now the public expects Mendoza and his men to be there.

Man
But we know differently, don't we?  You'll send them someplace else.

Ramone 
How can I?  The paper said. . .

Man [leaning forward]
Shut the newspaper down.

Ramone 
The paper is published by government edict.  I am the government.

Man
Then the Rivas farm will burn?

[Ramone nods as he grins evilly.]

[Exterior shot of the tavern as Don Alejandro and Diego step out its front doors and onto its porch.  People in the plaza are reading and discussing the newspaper.]

Don Alejandro [smiling as he and Diego walk across the plaza]
Look at the people, Diego.  I knew you could do it, son.

Diego
Thank you, Father.  Perhaps we've helped quench their thirst for the truth.

Ramone [off camera at first]
Don Diego!

Diego [as Ramone walks toward him]
Here it comes.

Ramone [as Mendoza walks beside him]
Don Diego, you have printed lies about me and my government!  I demand to know the sources of your information.

[He waves a copy of the paper at Diego.]

Diego
Alcalde, the truth speaks for itself.  My sources are my business.

Ramone 
That is no defense against sedition.  I am forced to place you under arrest and impound the press.  Sergeant Mendoza!

Mendoza [as he steps up to Diego]
Forgive me, Don Diego.

Diego
Lead the way, Señor Estomago.

[Mendoza leads Diego toward the cuartel.  Ramone looks at Don Alejandro then turns around.]

Ramone 
Henceforth, I will edit and publish ‘The Guardian'.

[Felipe looks on worriedly as he watches from the news stand.]

*****COMMERCIAL BREAK*****

[Interior shot of Ramone's office as Ramone stands behind Mendoza as Mendoza writes in a book.]

Ramone [dramatically]
And so good people of Los Angeles, I hereby declare a personal crusade against crime and. . . [He stops and looks over Mendoza's shoulder at what Mendoza is writing.] You dolt!

[Mendoza looks up from his writing.  Ramone points at the book.]

Ramone 
You've written ‘cream' instead of ‘crime'. [He jabs at the book again.] And here you've written ‘vanilla' instead of ‘villain'.  Try to get your mind off food, Mendoza. [He clears his throat.] And I will personally bring in the scoundrel. . .

[Interior shot of the cuartel jail.]

Diego [reading from the newspaper as Victoria and Felipe stand outside his cell.]
Zorro to final justice and a long-awaited appointment with the gallows.

Victoria
So now Zorro is to blame for every crime in the territory?

Diego
Zorro can take care of himself.  I'm concerned about that poor farmer, Rivas.

Victoria [looking over at Felipe]
And tonight is full moon.

Diego
I told him to have faith in ‘The Guardian'.  I can't let him down.

Victoria [a bit angrily]
Diego, it will take more than mere words to save Rivas' farm from those bandits.

[She walks to her right, past Felipe.  Felipe makes a ‘Z' in the air with his right index finger then shrugs his shoulders.]

Diego
Yes, Felipe.  Don Diego must appear to escape and yet not escape.

[Felipe looks at Diego through the cell bars with a confused expression.]

Diego
This is what you must do. [Felipe leans up against the bars.] Quickly.

[Closeup shot of a map on a desk top.]

Ramone [off camera at first]
At sunset, you will take the entire troop on maneuvers in this direction.

[He points at a spot on the map.]

Mendoza [standing at Ramone's left]
South?  Toward San Pedro?

Ramone 
You will remain behind and guard de la Vega.

Mendoza
Si, mi Alcalde.

Ramone [as Mendoza just stands there]
Well, you've got your orders.

Mendoza
But the paper said that the outlaws will strike tonight in the north valley.

Ramone 
There is a lesson to be learned here, Mendoza.  Do not believe everything you read in the newspaper, especially that ridiculous column by ‘Señor Estomago'.  His recipes are as appetizing as rancid shoe leather.  Now get moving!

Mendoza [clicking his heels together]
Si, mi Alcalde.

[He walks off to his left, putting on his hat.]

[Exterior night shot of Ramone's office as crickets chirp.]

[Interior night shot of the cuartel jail as the door from Ramone's office opens.]

Mendoza [stepping through the door]
Prisoner's supper. [He chuckles.] I detect a delicate odor of veal souffle.

[Felipe walks ahead of Mendoza, carrying a basket and wearing a brown cape.  Mendoza gets out his keys.]

Diego [rising from his cot]
Don't trouble yourself, Sergeant. [He takes several steps.] I'm afraid your jail has destroyed my appetite.

[Mendoza looks down at the basket Felipe is holding.  Felipe lifts it up and smiles.]

Diego
It's a pity to waste all that food. [He chuckles.] What a shame you've probably already eaten.

Mendoza
Ah, yes, what a shame. [He chuckles.] Perhaps I'll try just a little bit.  As research for my column.

[He takes the basket from Felipe and walks out of the jail, closing the door leading to Ramone's office behind him.  Felipe smiles as he brings out a bundle from under his cape.  Diego walks closer to the cell door and the screen fades to black.]

[Interior shot of the cuartel jail as Zorro arranges the blankets on the cot then turns, striking a flint as he steps toward the window.  He sets off a spark which ignites a fuse that burn around the window frame.]

[Interior night shot of Ramone's office as Felipe walks out of the jail and into the office, closing the door behind him.  He waves at Mendoza, who is sitting at Ramone's desk, eating.  Mendoza waves at Felipe, then makes the ‘OK' signal with his left hand as his mouth is full of food. Felipe nods and goes out another door.]

[Interior night shot of the cuartel jail as Zorro watches the fuse burn its way around the window frame.  It fizzles out at the top of the frame.  Zorro grabs the bars and pulls them out.  The door from Ramone's office starts to open.  Zorro sets the bars outside then jumps out the window as Mendoza walks into the jail.]

Mendoza [coming up to Diego's cell]
That was a truly memorable meal. . .  Don Diego?

[He looks into the cell.]

[Shot from Mendoza's point of view of a body lying on the cot, covered by a blanket.]

Mendoza [putting his index finger to his lips]
Shh. . .  I think I'll have some more.

[He turns and leaves.]

[Interior shot of a dark room as Zorro opens the shutters of a window then climbs inside the room.  He looks around and sees the printing press.  He pulls out a bottle, opens it, and pours it on a tray of type.  He puts the bottle into his waistband then climbs back out the window.]

[Exterior night shot of Victoria riding up to Jose's farmhouse.]

Victoria [bringing her horse to a halt]
Whoa!

[She dismounts then peers into the house.]

Victoria
Jose?

[Jose emerges from the house.]

Victoria [obviously relieved]
Jose.  Don Diego can't help you.  He's been put into jail.  I. . .I came to see if I can do anything.

Jose
You are very kind, Señorita Escalante, but it's too late.

[Off camera, the sounds of laughter and hoof beats can be heard coming closer.]

Jose
I think you'd better leave at once.

[Three bandits ride up to Jose's farmhouse.  Jose and Victoria turn to face them.  The bandits dismount.]

Leader
Your last chance. . .farmer!

Jose
Save your breath.  You won't get a centavo from me.

Leader
Don't mistake stupidity for courage!  Your farm will be ashes.

Jose
Then I'll build again, on the ashes.

Zorro [riding up on Toronado]
That will not be necessary, compadre.

Leader [pointing to his right]
Get him!

[Zorro cracks his whip and hits one of the men holding a torch.]

Man
Aah!

[Zorro rides past him, knocking the man head first into the well.  Zorro spins a lasso over his head then throws it over a wooden arch.  He lassoes the second bandit who was trying to ride away.  Zorro tugs on the rope and pulls the man off his horse.  Zorro pulls back on the rope until the man is handing from the arch, kicking his legs.  The bandit's are pinned to his side by the lasso.  Zorro ties off the end of the rope then dismounts.  He runs forward.]

Leader [off camera]
I'll take him!

[Zorro walks forward, unsheathing his saber.]

Leader [off camera]
Ha, ha, ha.  Come here!

[The bandit draws out his sword and lunges at Zorro.  Zorro sidesteps the thrust and the two men switch directions.  The bandit swings wildly at Zorro with his sword but Zorro easily dodges the swings.  Zorro attacks the man with his saber, moving so quickly the bandit can barely parry each thrust.  Zorro drives the bandit backward.  The bandit lunges at Zorro.  But Zorro sidesteps again and they circle each other.  Zorro pushes the bandit from behind and the bandit stumbles forward.  Zorro slashes a ‘Z' into the back of the bandit's jacket.  The bandit turns around and swings his sword at Zorro's head.  Zorro ducks then punches the bandit in the face.  The bandit falls to the ground.  Zorro turns and walk over to where Jose and Victoria are standing.]

Victoria
I should have known you would have pulled Don Diego's irons from the fire.

Zorro
Ah, don't think too harshly of him, Señorita.  Each of us does our best in the cause of justice.

[Victoria looks chastised.]

Zorro
I'll take care of our friend here.  You bring the others into town.

[Zorro hands Jose the bandit's rifle.  Jose walk over to his left as Zorro turns and leaves as Victoria watches.  Zorro gets up onto Toronado's back then rides away.]

Man in the Well [kicking his legs]
Get me out of here!

[Exterior day shot of the plaza where market stalls are set up.  Ramone walks through them with a man who is hold a copy of the newspaper.]

Ramone 
As you can see, Don Diaz, I have fulfilled his Excellency's edict to the letter.

Don Diaz
All well and good, Alcalde.  But who is buying your paper?

[Several lancers are walking around the plaza, carrying copies of the newspaper.  Ramone grabs one of them by the arm.]

Ramone [angrily hissing into the lancer's ear]
Give it away if you have to.

[The lancer hands a paper to an old woman.  Felipe and a younger woman watch from the news stand.  The old woman defiantly wraps a cabbage with the paper right in front of Ramone, who looks irritated.  He then runs after Don Diaz who has continued walking across the plaza.]

Don Diaz [as he walks into the cuartel yard]
Most of it is given over to your own biography, Alcalde.  I must warn you, his Excellency has an aversion to bureaucrats with political ambitions.

[Ramone chuckles nervously.  Suddenly the bandit leader is thrown to the ground in the cuartel yard.]

Bandit Leader [as he hits the ground]
Ugh!

[Zorro appears from behind an archway.]

Zorro
Good morning, Alcalde.  I bring you the outlaw leader, Martinez. [Martinez tries to get up, but Zorro flattens him back down with his foot.] His cohorts will be delivered shortly by Jose Rivas and Señorita Escalante.

Don Diaz [pointing at Zorro while looking at Ramone]
Who is this man?

Ramone [through clenched teeth]
That's the arch-criminal, Zorro.  The one I told you about. [He turns his head to the left.] Lancers!

Zorro
Your lancers are busy trying to sell your newspaper, Alcalde.  Look again at your paper, sir.  A newspaper can tell the truth or conceal it under the overlay of falsehood.  Let the sunlight touch it.  The light of truth.

[Don Diaz looks at Zorro then holds his newspaper up into the light.  Zorro turns and disappears to his left.]

[Shot from Don Diaz's point of view at the newsprint changes from a headline of ‘The Story of a Great Man' to ‘Alcalde Accuses Governor of Corruption'.]

Don Diaz [pointing at the paper]
What is this?  You accuse the governor of corruption?  Malfeasance?  Graft?  You say he will be indicted?

Ramone 
This must be a trick.

Don Diaz
The only trick will be to explain this to his Excellency.  [He turns and points forward.] Arrest that. . .

[He stops when he sees that Zorro is gone.  He throws down the newspaper and walks off to his left in front of a seething Ramone.]

Ramone 
De la Vega.

[Exterior shot of an archway and a hitching rail as Zorro rides Toronado up to a waiting Felipe.  Zorro jumps off Toronado's back and runs to his right then jumps through a window.]

[Interior shot of Ramone's office as Ramone opens the door and walks inside.  He stops in front of a sleeping Mendoza who is sitting on the floor with his back propped up against the wall.]

Ramone 
Mendoza!

[Mendoza wakes up and scrambles to his feet.  Ramone walks across the office to the door leading to the jail cells.  He tries to turn the handle but it is locked.  Mendoza rushes over with his keys and nervously fumbles with the door knob.  He drops the keys on the floor as Ramone rolls his eyes impatiently.]

[Interior shot of the cuartel jail where Diego is putting on his white shirt as Felipe takes away Zorro's things.  Diego waves at Felipe who turns and leaves.]

[Interior shot of Ramone's office where Mendoza keeps dropping the keys as he tries to unlock the door.]

[Interior shot of the cuartel jail as Diego puts the bars back into the window frame then turns around and starts walking to the door of his cell, buttoning up his shirt.  The door leading from Ramone's office is thrown open.  Diego stifles a yawn as Ramone marches up to his cell door, followed by Mendoza.]

Diego
Aah. . .  Buenos dias, Alcalde.  It's good of you to join me for breakfast.  Why is it I always sleep so well in your jail?

[He smiles innocently.]

*****COMMERCIAL BREAK*****

[Exterior shot of the plaza where Felipe is manning the news stand.  Don Alejandro comes up and takes a copy of the newspaper.  Diego comes up behind him.]

Don Alejandro [to Diego as they walk away from the news stand]
No, you're the one who broke the story.  And Rivas, the return of the farmers' money and the timely donation from the alcalde's office, right?  I'm proud of you, son.

Diego
Well, I think people appreciate Señor Estomago and Doña Corazon. . .

Jose [coming up behind Don Alejandro and Diego]
Diego!

Diego
Jose.  I believe you know my father.

Don Alejandro [putting his arm around Jose's shoulders as they shake hands]
Yes.

Jose [to Diego]
I am here to thank you.  You could not be at the farm last night, but let us say your spirit was there.

Diego
Indeed it was.

Jose
I've decided it is time for me to learn to read.  Then I'll find out if it is true what Zorro says, that the pen is mightier than the sword.

[Diego nods.]

Don Alejandro [patting Jose's shoulder]
Bravo, Jose.

Jose
Adios.

Don Alejandro
Adios.

[Jose turns and leaves.  Don Alejandro looks down at his newspaper again.]

Don Alejandro
Diego! [He turns so he is standing next to Diego.] Here's an interesting piece of advice.  "Dear Doña Corazon; I am in love with a man I see rarely and even when we do meet, our conversation is fleeting at best.  What should I do?  Signed, One Who is Pining".

Diego
And what is Doña Corazon's reply?

Don Alejandro [chuckling]
Listen.  "Dear Pining; The next time you see him, don't let him get away.  Tie him up if you have to so you can let him know how you truly feel. [He chuckles again then looks up.] Hey, Diego.

[Shot from Don Alejandro and Diego's point of view of the tavern where Victoria is on its porch, shaking out a rug.  She notices them watching her and starts to go back inside but stops, looking over at them with a puzzled expression.]

[Closeup shot of Diego then Don Alejandro nodding in her direction.]

Don Alejandro
If I were Zorro, I'd lay low for a while.

[Diego looks over at Don Alejandro then back in Victoria's direction then smiles.]
