"So we needed someone who could gain his trust." "And who more suited to the task, than the woman he never forgot?" "Before the count arrived, we intercepted a telegram he'd dispatched to his associates throughout Europe." "PIKE:" "In that telegram, he claimed to be on the verge of producing a new weapon... with a single target in mind." "The United States of America." "What kind of weapon could do that?" "Your ex-wife may be on the verge to answer that very question." "And every time you interfere, you jeopardize her cover." "Understand?" "ALEJANDRO:" "The divorce was your idea, wasn't it?" "You blackmailed Elena to lure in the count" "We prefer to think of it as a mutual understanding." "She agrees to help us, and we promise to keep the true name of Zorro secret from his enemies."
