"ZORRO AGAINST MACISTE" "The Princesses Malva and Isabella of Nogara." "I was afraid you wouldn't come Isabella." "Did you really think that, Ramon?" "I knew you were waiting for me." "How could I have forgotten?" " How charming ..." " Garcia!" "Excuse me." "Would you mind paying some attention to me or do your court duties prevent you." "Lower your voice, people are listening." "We were together until dawn and I wasn't the one who wanted to go away." "That's enough!" "And remember that for the time being you are still only the captain of the Guard." "Count ..." "No, please don't say it, Ramon." "I beg you." "Look at that silly cousin of mine." "Senoras ..." "It is with the utmost sorrow that I am forced to interrupt this pleasant gathering." "I regret to announce a tragic event." "Our beloved King Philip IV of Nogara has died of the plague on the island of Guadarrama." "I, as Supreme Chancellor and according to the law, assume temporarily the responsibility of this state." "Until the disposition of the will is made of our late beloved Sovereign indicating which of his nieces, and legal heiresses, the Princess Isabella Larzon of Nogara or the Princess Malva Gutierrez of Nogara, shall have been selected to be our queen." "I'm sorry, Isabella." "My poor uncle." "And how soon will we be able to read the will" "Don Alvarez?" "It is being carried across Guadarrama by an escort commanded by General Savedra." "It is to him that the king gave his will." "I'll certainly be glad when we reach the coast." "General, the men are very tired." "They'll rest when we reach the sea." "We've been given a most delicate mission." "And I wish to accomplish it as soon as possible." "General!" "Don't you think we should send a scouting party ahead?" "No, we don't need to." "Rabek and his band of rebels could be in the area, and may try to attack us." "Rabek is on the run." "And in any event, he doesn't even know we're here." "Look, Rabek." "Maybe they're carrying gold." "I think they've got something better." "Hold it!" "Don't shoot." "We can't attack them here." "They're too many." "What do you have in mind then?" "We'll meet them at the pass of Las Croces." "For the time being, all we'll do is follow." "You better not be too sure about it, Malva." "I'm certain that will, will be in favor of Isabella." "Your uncle Philippe ... may the Devil take his soul!" "Always showed a preference for your little cousin, the beautiful, docile and virtuous Isabella." "And he has surely proclaimed her the Queen of Nogara." "Perhaps." "And what if he has?" "Don't shrug it off, Malva." "It's vital for our plans and our future." "You're an ambitious, vain and scheming man, Garcia." "You want me to be queen for one reason:" "so you can marry me and share the throne of Nogara." "I only want your happiness, Malva." "Then start by giving me something:" "Bring me my uncle's will." "It should be easy later on to replace it with another which will not name Isabella, but Malva instead." "I can send some of my guards to Guadarrama." "They can attack Savedra ..." "And that way everyone would know our secret!" "I don't see how else we can do it." "There is a better way." "We need to find a man who is capable, courageous, and has an exceptional strength." "Now my noble lords and ladies!" "You shall be amazed!" "Maciste, the strongest man in the world, by contracting the muscles in his chest, shall break the chains that bind him!" "Go on Maciste, show us what you can do." "They don't fool me." "It's all a trick." "Thank you, gentlemen ..." "Hey, you ... the strongest man on Earth." "Try bending this if you can." "And if I succeed?" "I'll give you this." "Alright." "What about the money?" "Thank you." "Here." "With this, you'll be able to have her cured." "My duty is done." "Goodbye, Alonzo." "Stay with us, Maciste." "Do go away." "I must go away, Belinda, but I'll come back." "One day when you are well again, I'll find you." "You must come with us." "But why?" "He hasn't harmed anyone." "It's an order." "Now, don't you two worry about me." "Come in." "You may go Pedro." "This is Maciste." "I have been told by many people that you are always willing to be of help to correct injustice." "This is why I have called upon you." "I know you come from far away." "So perhaps you don't even know who I am." "That's right" "I am Malva Nogara, heiress to the throne in this country." "And who is this man?" "It Garcia Higuera, the captain of the palace guard." "Would you mind telling me the reason I was brought here?" "I can't tell you very much." "I know there is a traitor - General Savedra," "And he is marching through Guadarrama carrying a scroll case." "That case holds something that must be returned to me." "It contains a military secret which could endanger the kingdom if it fell into the wrong hands." "How do I know you're telling me the truth?" "I give you my word, the word of a future queen 00:11:05,920 -- 00:11:08,036 If you succeed in retrieving the scroll case, you will have performed a great service." "You will win the gratitude of our people." "And that of the queen, naturally." "Yes, and I shall give you a prize with my own hand." "Alright." "When do I leave?" "Right away." "Pedro!" "Pedro, take him down below to the armory." "Garcia will join you there to give you the final instructions." "Fine." "Goodbye princess." "Goodbye, Maciste, and may fortune follow you." "You have promised him a prize from your own hand." "What?" "This one." "Why, what's wrong Isabella?" "You look so worried." "You're going away now to publish your poems just when I have so many problems to face all alone." "Do you think that Malva is scheming against you in some way?" "Oh, I wouldn't be surprised." "She might even try to get a hold of my uncle's will and replace it with another." "What will you do?" "I worry about the sad fate of my country, if the throne should fall into the hands of Malva and Garcia." "Sorry, I can not help you." "I must be leaving." "I am expected in Paris so that I can publish my poems." "Of course." "This is a great opportunity for you." "And I am very happy." "You will not forget me?" "How could I?" "I'm sorry to leave you, but ..." "I have an idea." "Why don't you go to Asturias and look for Zorro?" "Zorro?" "He's the right man to help you." "I've met him." "He's brave, loyal, and smart." "And he knows how to use his sword." "Believe me, there's no one better than Zorro to solve your problems" "I'll think about it." "Now I must go." "My dear." "All the best." "Come back soon." "I'd almost forgotten." "There's a man across the frontier who knows everything about Zorro." "His name is Joaquim." "Postas House" "Here's your beer." " Senorita, here's a nice table for you." " Thank you." " Yes ?" " I would like to speak with Joaquim." " Joaquim?" " Yes." "Just a moment." " I'm Joaquim." "Did you want me?" " Yes." "I'd like to talk to Zorro." "Sorry, but I must give you bad news." "Zorro was just arrested." "He will be executed at sundown." "Are you absolutely sure of that?" "You can find out for yourself by attending his execution." "I hate that sort of thing." "At Nogara, we don't have them." "Yours is a civilized kingdom, senorita." "Here in Asturias, we are still living under a reign of terror." "Are you sure nothing can be done?" "Won't anyone try to save him?" "He's the best friend I ever had." "I would give my life to save him." "Yet you see me here, I can't." "What's the matter?" "Nothing, don't worry." "Keep calm, amigo and nothing will happen." "Were you looking for me?" "Zorro!" "I see guards approaching!" " Go away, Bueno!" " Come quickly." "Get in." "Go away!" "Column right, whoa!" "Have you seen a man dressed in black riding by?" "Yes, he rode off that way." "Look, there's a horse galloping off there!" "Let's go!" "Do you want to speak here or go somewhere else?" "What did you say?" "Let's go, Gonzalo." "Are you worried you'll be caught?" "You only live once." "And I've already lived long enough now that I've seen you, Princess." "You're not very demanding." "How do you know who I am?" "I saw you only once before when you were visiting Asturias in the company of your uncle." "So you know he is dead." "Yes." "And I know other things." "At the inn, I was told you were sentenced to death." "How did you manage to get away?" "I was told you needed my help." "I would have escaped even from Hell to come and assist you." "Please don't joke." "How do you plan to cross the frontier?" "There are roadblocks everywhere." "Don't worry about that." "Tell me, how can I help you?" " Have you heard of General Savedra?" " Yes." "He's marching through the jungle of Guadarrama." "He carries a scroll case similar to this one." "Stop!" "Wait for my signal." "We shouldn't have any trouble from now on Captain Gomez." "This is the gorge of Las Croces." "And over there, the sea" "And across the sea, Nogara." "I can't wait to sit in a tavern to order myself a pint of rum." "A pint?" "A barrel, is what you mean." "Come on men, hurry up!" "Over here!" "Quick men!" "Don't run away!" "We must defend ourselves!" "Come on, get them!" "Don't let them escape!" "Men." "Alright men, it couldn't have gone better!" "Let's go!" " Are you General Savedra?" " Yes." "Where is the scroll case?" "Rabek ... he was the one who took it." "Rabek." "Why don't you have some wine instead of holding on to that scroll case of yours, Rabek." "We prefer the wine, don't we Daikor?" "It all depends on what's inside that damn case." "There's something that will make us rich and give us our freedom." "I know what you're thinking." "But there's one thing you don't know:" "In your dirty hands, this scroll case is absolutely worthless!" "I!" "I am only the only one who can use it!" "You don't think much of us, Rabek." "I think that way because I know you so well." "Give me a drink, Sandros." "Let's all have a good time together!" "Go!" "Go!" "What happened?" "Look!" "There he is Get him!" "Damn him!" "Get him!" "All right Rabek, give me that bag!" "Hurry, he's in here!" "Come on, you damn drunk!" "Rabek!" "Maciste stole the scroll case!" "He went that way." "Follow him quickly!" "An animal trap." "Hey, amigo!" "Listen to me." "First, if I were you," "I would stop right where you are." "Then" "I would suggest, you drop that bag here and leave without turning around and the sooner the better." "What kind of man are you, if you don't have the nerve to come out and meet me face to face?" "What?" "You can say anything about me, but not that." "Here I am, amigo!" "Take off that mask so I can see who I'm fighting." "Now you're asking too much." "But I'll tell you who I am" " Zorro." " Zorro?" " Yes, now drop that bag." "Come and get it." "You move pretty fast for a man your size, amigo." "Fast enough to take care of you!" "Nice try, but I'm afraid you haven't got a chance." "The bag." "Sorry amigo, you can't always win." "I'm sorry for you amigo." "This time you're the one who lost." "I'll catch up with you again, Maciste." "44." "45." "46." "47." "48." "49." "50." "That's enough." " He fainted, captain." " Good, it serves the old fool right." "Take him down into a solitary dungeon, where he can die in peace." "You're a beautiful queen, worthy of the great queens of the past." "Except I still haven't my crown" "You'll have it." "Don't worry." "Nothing can stop the course of events." "I'm sure everything will go in our favor." "I see that you aren't wasting time, dear cousin." "What are you insinuating?" "You know very well, Malva." "But I didn't come here for that." "It's because of old Esteban, who's been serving us for 30 years." "Why did you have him flogged?" "He is kind hearted, good, and deserves to be respected." "I gave the order to punish him." "And if I did, there was evidently a good reason for it." " What?" " He was insulting." "He was extremely disrespectful." "It's not true." "He only refused to call you "majesty" and it was his right not to, since you are not yet the Queen of Nogara." "You forget, my dear, that I will be very soon." "That will be established when we read the will of our uncle." "But until you know exactly what it says, you'd better restrain your lust for power and your ambition." "Garcia, I advise you to free old Esteban immediately otherwise I'll be forced to inform the Chancellor of your offense." "That little fool." "I'll make her pay for that." "I'll have her eat the dust at your feet." "It's only a question of days." "Maciste won't fail us." "Excuse me, can you tell me if there is a ship leaving soon for Nogara?" "I don't know, young man." "Try asking Captain Rodriguez." " Where is he?" " He's someplace." "Look for him." "Can you tell me where Captain Rodriguez is?" "Captain Rodriguez ..." " The great Captain Rodriguez ..." " Yes, exactly." "The hero of a hundred battles and a thousand voyages ..." "Yes." "Where is he?" "I don't know." "Young man!" "Is it you who were looking for Captain Rodriguez" "There he is wearing the devil's mask." "Are you Captain Rodriguez?" "Yes, that's me." "But I don't always look like this." "Only at carnival time." "Can you tell if there is a ship sailing soon for Nogara?" "You're in luck, my friend." "My ship is sailing tonight." "Now sit down and have a drink." "Well ..." "I'd really like to go aboard now." "No, no!" "First, you must drink with us." "What do you say, girls?" " Yes, sit down." " Next to me." "Innkeeper!" "Bring us some wine!" "Stupendous." "Come on, drink with me." "Don't you like me?" "Go on, have a drink." "I'm not thirsty." "Come on, a little wine won't hurt you." "It's carnival time." "Let's be happy, have a drink." "Okay, to make you happy." "Bravo!" "This is for your help, girls." "And keep quiet about this if you don't want any trouble." "Don't you worry, little devil." "We haven't seen anything and no one will hear." "Goodbye." "Sweet dreams, my friend." "How are you my friend?" "I guess you really celebrated, huh?" "Come with us, we're going to have some more fun." "Come on!" " Let's go!" " Come on, guys!" "Sandros, come with me to the dock." "Daikor, take care of this idiot." "After that, find me on the ship." "It will be a pleasure." "Come on." "You don't deserve to die like that." "Luis, stand guard." "You others come with me." "Come on." " Daikor!" " Yes?" "Why don't we kill him here?" "A man like him deserves a better death." "Throw him in there." "Enjoy, my friend." "Alright, let's go." "Let's not disturb his dinner." "Come on." "Let's get him!" "Help!" "Damn him ..." "Don't let him escape alive!" "Let see you fight!" "I'll go the other way ..." "Damn you!" "This time I'll kill you myself." "You better start praying now." "Because you're going to meet you maker." "Maciste!" "Where are you?" "Excuse me." "Where is Rodriguez?" "Haven't you found that fellow yet?" "I haven't time to explain." "Where is Captain Rodriguez?" "That crazy fellow, you'll never find him." "Why?" "He's changed into a black pirate costume, with a black mask on his face." "So he was the one." "Why, what did he do?" " Tell me where his room is?" " Up there." "Room 5." "There you are Captain, how are you?" "By the way, that big friend of yours was looking for you." "Where did he go?" "Upstairs, to your room." "What's your hurry?" "Come on, have a drink with me." "Get out of my way you!" "Come in." " Isabella ..." " Ramon!" "I'm so glad you've come back" "I see you received my book." "Yes, and I read it three times." "Your poems are wonderful." "You must be very much in love with the woman who inspired such passionate words." "Yes, very much." "More than mere words can tell." "She is a very lucky woman." "I mean, to be loved by you with such a great passion." " And yet my love is hopeless" " But why?" "A poor poet can not hope for too much." "He can only ... love her... and then suffer." "I think, it's time you stopped suffering." "How many hours of happiness have we lost because of your shyness?" "But it isn't possible." "You, Isabella of Nogara, heir to the throne ..." "If you knew how many times I thought of giving up everything." "Come away with me." "Please come Isabella." "We'll go to Paris, and start a new life." "A happy life without any worries." "No, I can not leave my people, I must stay." "I must see Zorro, and find out what's happened." "I'm sure he's been able to get my uncle's will." "He's a man who can do anything he wants." "You seem so greatly impressed with him." "Yes, he is intelligent, strong, endowed with a strange charm." "You aren't by chance, in love with him?" "Jealous?" "Yes, Isabella." " Here's Rabek." " You may go, Pedro." "Come in, Rabek." "My respects to you, Princess of Nogara." "So you are the notorious Rabek." "Head of the rebels of Guadarrama." "Thief, blackmailer and murderer." "A man has to live, Your Highness." "And insolent as well!" "What would you say if I was to have you tortured and then hanged?" "I would say it would be a mistake, my queen." "I didn't cross the sea to learn about your penal code." "Stop stalling, Rabek," "Why did you dare come back here and put your head in the lion's mouth?" "I came to help the lion eat the lamb." "Get to the point!" "We haven't time to waste!" "Well, after the death of your uncle, the king, someone found on my island a ... a mysterious case." "Do you have it?" "Did you open it?" "I wouldn't think of it." "The royal seal is intact." "Let's see it, then." "Do I look such a fool, my queen?" "What do you mean by that?" "Before giving it to you, you must accept my conditions." "You deserve to be flogged." "You, a dirty rebel dare to ..." "Silence, Garcia!" "What are your conditions, Rabek?" "I risked my life for this case." "Other people wanted it, too." "Who?" "I don't know." "A man I met." "To repay me for my risk," "You must guarantee me my freedom and that of my men." "I'll grant that." "And 1000 gold coins." "Do you know how much you're asking?" "You'll have your 1000 gold coins, Rabek." "Where is the case?" "You get the gold first and follow me." " Alright." " Alone, and no tricks." "Or that case will end up somewhere else." "Is that clear?" "Yes, it is." " What is your name?" " Carmencita." "You're too lovely to work in such a terrible place as this tavern." "Actually, I don't work here." "I'm just helping out my uncle, the innkeeper." "I work at the palace." "The royal palace?" "Yes, I'm one of the servants to Princess Isabella." "Really?" "Then you're a very lucky girl." "Do you know the other princess?" " I can't recall her name ..." " Malva?" "Yes, I know her." "Only by sight of course." "They say that princess is very loyal and generous." "Is she?" "Well ..." "I do not know." "You don't have to be afraid to tell me." "I'm just passing through." "It's just curiosity." "Well, I much prefer Isabella." "She's very likable and generous." "Carmencita!" "Excuse me." "Listen ... when are you going to palace?" "Soon." "Why?" "Well ..." "could I take you there?" "I would have been very disappointed if you hadn't asked me." "Santos!" "You better wait down here and keep yours eyes open." "Understand?" "Yes." "Come on, let's have a drink." "That's what we need." "Hey you!" " What are you doing here?" " I was going to ask you the same thing." "I don't have time to explain, but you must help me." "I'll give you lots of money and you'll be helping your country." "What should I do?" "I have to find out what's going on in there." "Come." "Alright, let me see that case now." "Have you brought all the gold?" "No." "I want to count it." "Let him." "Count it, but you better be quick about it." "You are suspicious, Rabek." "Hurry, Rabek." "Help!" "Help!" "Did you hear that?" "It's Rabek!" "Go or you'll end up like the others!" "It's getting dangerous." "Wait outside." "I'll be along shortly." "Yes." "Okay, we can leave." "There is something strange." "Look at the royal seal." "It's missing the crown and"N"to Nogara." "Perhaps an oversight." "What if it's been opened?" "Damn him." "What can I say, you are truly gifted, Zorro." "But not as much as me." "Let's go quickly to the palace." "Do not move!" "What do you want?" "Rabek is dead, get lost." "I want the money." "Get back!" "Put it on the table." "Let's go." "Zorro!" "That's who I should have hired to steal the case, instead of your stupid Maciste." "Calm down, we don't know yet what happened." "This doesn't tell you?" "He has the case and if he gives it to Isabella, we are lost." "I've blocked all roads to the castle." "Zorro cannot pass." "Don't worry." "Excuse me, someone is here to see you." "I don't want to see anybody, go away!" "Very well, Highness." "Wait." "Did he say his name?" "Yes, Maciste." "Maciste?" "Show him to the living room." "Is there anything wrong?" "You look terribly worried." "Yes, I am worried after what you told me." "What do you mean?" "Someday, I'll explain." "But not now ..." "If something happens to me, remember what I just did." "Sir, follow me." "I can't understand what's going on, but please be careful, promise." "Yes." " Good evening, sir." " Sir ..." "We'd given you up for lost." "So?" "Did you succeed in your mission?" "I'd say you don't trust me very much, Garcia." "I always succeed in every mission I undertake." "I've brought you back the scroll case stolen by Zorro and that I so cleverly stole from him." "Give it to me." "It's a fake." "This one, too!" "We were fooled again." "He may not be dead!" "We'll make him talk!" "Guards!" "Pedro!" "What is it?" "Pedro, run down to the dungeon and bring up the man who's in there." "Yes sir." "I wonder where that scroll case could be?" "Maciste will tell us." "He may be strong and smart, but won't be able to stand my torture." "It will be a pleasure to hear him scream" "Hey, you!" "Come with us." "Hurry!" "Open it." "Hurry up, you old fool!" "I can't find the right key." "Come on, move!" "Oh, get out of the way!" "Come on!" "Harder!" "Harder!" "There!" "He's gone through there!" "Too bad, he must have fallen into the sea." "Let's go back up!" "Leave us alone." "Of all the things that could have occurred, the worst thing happened to us." " He died." " How?" "He jumped out of a window into the sea." "There's something about this I don't like, Garcia." "Anyway, Zorro is the man we want." "We have to move quickly before it is too late." "What do you want to do?" "The first thing to do is to arrest Isabella." "Arrest her?" "For what reason?" "I'll leave it you to find one." "For conspiring against the state or attempting to usurp the throne." "You choose." "The main thing is not to waste any time." "With Isabella in our hands, it won't be difficult to get the will if Zorro has been working for her." "I never would have thought of that." "You're marvelous, Malva." "I'll go now and take care of that little cousin of yours" "Zorro!" "I'm sorry Princess." "Punish me in any way you choose." "Why?" "For the first time in my life I confess that I failed in a mission." "Don't feel discouraged." "I'm sure you did everything humanly possible." "Unfortunately, I found another man trying to get that case." "By order of Malva?" "I'm sure of it." "Who was the man?" "A certain Maciste." " Maciste?" " Do you know him?" "No, but I've heard about him." "My mistake was thinking he was only a very strong man." "But he was also clever." "No one has ever been able to beat me before." "Where is the will now?" "I think it is here, in the palace, but not in the hands of Malva." "So you think there's still a chance..." "I would say yes." "I'm sure you'll soon succeed in getting it back again." "I only hope I'm still in time" "What do you mean?" "I'm afraid Malva and Garcia are planning something." " Who is it?" " Garcia." "Open." "Go now." "Hurry." "Be ready to expect anything, but whatever happens, don't despair." "I will always be near you." "Open, I said!" "What right do you dare ..." "Don't talk to me about rights." "You are under arrest." "Under arrest?" "You must be mad!" "Let's not waste time." "Come with me." "I demand to see the Chancellor." "My dear, here is his signature on the order for your arrest." "Satisfied?" "Of what do you accuse me?" "Of conspiring against the state." "You have illegally taken a scroll case containing the King's will." "to destroy or falsify it your favor." "You lie." "We have proof." "You're a snake, not a man and I swear you'll pay dearly for your actions." "For the time being, will you follow me or must I force you to come with us?" "This procedure is unheard of." "I shall protest to the court." "Why don't you protest to Garcia?" "He's the one responsible for this." "I'm only following orders." "Hurry up, don't make trouble!" "Move along!" "Come on, hurry up!" "Move along!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone, I said!" "Cowards!" "Shut up you dirty traitor." "It's Malva, not I who has betrayed the laws of our country." "She is imprisoning me in order to usurp the throne." "But some day she'll pay for all this and you with her!" "Open it." "I'm sorry, dear cousin, to see you in this state, locked in a cell, accused of treason." "And almost certain to be condemned to death." "I really didn't think that you would go to such extremes as this." "What extremes?" "You're wrong, my dear cousin." "I've come here to help you, and set you free again." "On what conditions?" "Oh, it should be very easy for you." "I want to know where the will is hidden." "I don't know." "And even if I did, I would never tell you." "Never!" "If I were in your place Isabella I wouldn't be so sure." "Take my advice, you better talk while there's still time." "You have no idea what tortures my men can subject you to." "I know you, Garcia, and I can well imagine them." "So you refuse to talk." "Are you expecting Zorro to save you?" "You've already had my answer, Malva." "Get out!" "I swear you'll regret this." "If anyone tries to approach her, sound the alarm." "Yes sir." "Alright, you heard him." "Keep your eyes open." "You, bring me a drink." "I wonder why Romero left this open." "I'll leave it to Pedro, He's a specialist in torture." "It's no use, Garcia." "I know Isabella." "She won't talk." "Well then?" "There's only one way left for us." "Desperate times call for desperate measures." "What are getting at?" "We must convince the court to proclaim me the queen." "It's against all traditions and rules." "The Chancellor will never agree, the Lords might even rebel." "We'll force them to accept." "Are you afraid?" "I'll take my chances." "Well?" "What are you waiting for?" "Begin the ceremony," "Don Alvarez." "No." "You can't force me." "All this is against our laws." "Don't have those worries, Don Alvarez." "The law can be changed according to whatever we want it to be." "Now you have only one duty:" "and that is to obey the orders of one who is above you in life." "I can't." "I will never act against the wishes of our late king." "When we know what his decision was, we'll proceed with the coronation." "Then you refuse?" "Yes." "On behalf of my conscience and the law." "Arrest him!" "Double all the guards at once!" "Tell Pedro to keep watch outside the palace." "Yes sir." "Proceed with the ceremony, Don Manuel." "Paco, you stay here with four men." "The others follow me, it is necessary to protect the palace." "Right, Captain." "Help me!" "Hurry up!" "I'm dying!" "What's that yelling?" "Help me!" "I'm dying!" "Help!" "Hurry, come with me." " Who are you?" " Maciste." "But you ..." "I know what think, Your Highness, but please forgive me." "I was stupid enough to be fooled by your cousin." "I did not know how evil she and Garcia are." "Now I want to help you, you must believe me." "I don't know what to think, everything is happening so fast ..." "Come with me." "There's no time to lose." "There he is!" "Get him!" "Go!" "Let's go!" "There he is!" "Grab them." "Stop where you are." "You can't escape." "Wait a minute, my friends." "Zorro!" "Arrest him!" "And I accept from your hands on the basis of the royal decree I have established on this day the crown of Nogara." "Just a moment, we must read the traditional proclamation before we can proceed to crown you." ""Under the laws of our forefathers, with the recommendation of the Peers of the Council according to the will of the people and ..."" " Watch out!" " Look out behind you, amigo!" "Guards!" "Help!" "Guards!" "Watch out, Maciste!" "Now we're even." "You're really great Maciste." "You too, Zorro Your sword is always right on its mark." "Never as good as yours." "Maybe we better leave the compliments for later, don't you think?" "You're right, the best is yet to come." "Let's go, Maciste." ""And that you may reign with the wisdom and kindness of our past kings." ""As a result, having finished the ceremony," ""we can proclaim you queen of Nogara, of the Island of Guadarrama, of the territory Cristobal and Santa Marta."" "Stop!" "Don Manuel, what you are doing is illegal." "Guards, arrest him!" "Quick, to the draw bridge, more soldiers are coming." "Get him!" "Hurry up!" "Zorro!" "Garcia!" "Gentlemen ..." "We can resume the ceremony." "Isabella of Nogara is ready to receive the crown." "You can't do it without the will of the king!" "If that's the only problem, then we can take care of it." "This is no time to be clever, Zorro." "Where is that case?" "Listen amigo, you're not going to fool me twice." "You better produce it before I lose my patience" "Listen ..." "Excuse me." "What case are you talking about?" "Carmencita ..." "You told me before that if anything ever happened to you," "I must remember what you've done with it." "And so?" "And so to make sure I didn't forget, I took the case with me." "Wait!" "You open it, Carmencita." "Yes, Princess." "Read it." "Yes, Highness." "Majesty!" "You have tried to assassinate the Queen of Nogara." "I could punish you severely, Malva." "But I forgive you." "This is what our uncle would have done, He was wise and just." "And I hope to be the same." "You will go into exile, free to start a new life." "Noble gentlemen, women and common people!" "By merely flexing his muscles," "Maciste, the strongest man in the world, will break these chains of iron." "See, it's always the same old tricks." "Come, there is someone who wants to talk to you." "Majesty ..." "You had disappeared." "I didn't get to thank you." "It was not necessary." "I don't understand it." "In order to do what I just saw you have refused wealth and honor ..." "Majesty I would have accepted gladly." "But I couldn't." "I have a strange destiny." "It is always to go in search of adventure, danger, to try and help the weak." "And always alone." "Who knows?" "Maybe soon you'll have company." "Goodbye, Maciste." "Goodbye, my queen." " Is my horse ready?" " There he is." "Bon voyage, have a good time." "Boy, are you finished?" "I'm in a hurry." "Carmencita!" "Excuse me, I have the money I promised you." "Do you think I helped you for money?" "You're a strong man, but as far as women go, you're an idiot." "Carmencita ..." "Zorro!" "Majesty ..." "You disappeared before I could thank you." "You have refused wealth and honor." "Why?" "What drives you to do so?" "Do you know, I have a strange destiny ..." "Yes, I know." "Looking for new adventures to fight injustice and abuse." "Men like you are rare." "This is the problem of this world." "So ..." "What can I give you as a reward?" "Your hand in marriage." "You are a wonderful man, but ..." "I love you, majesty." "I'm also very fond of you and very grateful, but ..." "I love another." "I think I know who he is." "A silly poet, a weak and sentimental man." "Don't talk like that." "I forbid you." "Ramon isn't like that." "Do you really love him?" "Yes." "Then, Isabella..." "I'll have my reward after all." "Ramon!" "Oh my love..."
