You have passion Alejandro, and you skill is growing. But to enter Montero's world, I must give you something which is completely beyond your reach.
Alejandro Ah, yes? And what is that?
Charm.
Alejandro I miss my brother, sir.
Your brother is dead. We lose the ones we love; we cannot change it. Put it aside.
Alejandro How? How can I do what is needed, when all I feel is... hate.
You hide it. With this.
Alejandro Do you surrender?
Never, but I may scream.
Alejandro I understand. Sometimes I have that effect.
You should not trade something like that for a mere glass of whiskey.
Alejandro Why not? You think I could get two?
Alejandro I would have killed him.
No, not today. He is trained to kill. You seem trained to drink. Oh yes, my friend, you would have fought very bravely, and died very quickly. Who then would avenge your brother?
Alejandro I would have found a way. I've never lost a fight.
Except to a crippled old man just now.
Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.
Alejandro Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, pleace.
What?
Alejandro I mean, go on my child.
I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.
Alejandro You killed somebody?
No, that is not the fourth commandment.
Alejandro Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?
I dishonored my father.
Alejandro That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.
Convince Montero that you're a gentleman of stature, and he will let you into his circle.
Alejandro Me? A gentleman? This is going to take a lot of work.
Yes.
Alejandro Weren't you chasing some legendary bandit?
He was hardly legendary.
Alejandro So you caught him?
It's only a matter of time.
Alejandro Well the bandit might have escaped. But we will all think twice before going to confession.
The lady and I were trying to dance.
Alejandro You were trying. She was succeeding.
Do you know how to use that thing?
Alejandro Yes. The pointy end goes into the other man.
Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.
Alejandro Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.
Excuse me?
Alejandro Listen, señorita… Please, go on.
I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.
Alejandro You killed somebody?
No, that is not the fourth commandment.
Alejandro Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?
I dishonored my father.
Alejandro That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.
What did you say?
Alejandro 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.
Alejandro Too wild?
Yes.
Alejandro Could you be… a little more specific?
I had impure thoughts about a man.
Alejandro Uh huh.
I did- I think he was a bandit or something. He wore a black mask.
Alejandro He had a deep voice.
Yes.
Alejandro Ruggedly handsome?
I do not know, his face was half covered. But something in his eyes captured me.
Alejandro Captured you?
I felt warm and feverish.
Alejandro Lustful?
Yes, lustful… forgive me.
Alejandro I forgive you.
Soldier
Look over there, by the altar!
Search everything! The chapel, the loft, the rectory, all of it.
Priest
This is a house of God.
Don’t worry Padre, we’ll be gone by the time he gets back.
Alejandro Señorita, you have done nothing wrong. The only sin would be to deny what your heart truly feels. Now go.
Alejandro Look at me. I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done.
I doubt that.
Alejandro We'll never get away with this.
Yes we will. A nobleman is nothing but a man who says one thing and thinks another.
Alejandro Here. This is the canyon. That is where the mine is. They have 20… 30 guards at most. Nothing that Zorro can't overcome.
I'm not going with you. Alejandro looks at him confused I'm not going with you. There's something I must do. It’s a personal matter.
Alejandro And the prisoners?
There's nothing more I can do.
Alejandro Nothing you will do?
I gave my life to them. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was raised by my mortal enemy.
Alejandro Montero? Elena... She's your daughter!
She was.
Alejandro So, you will simply take your revenge.
No, my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you.
Alejandro She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings. Was that all a lie?
You are too young to understand.
Alejandro To understand what? Betrayal? All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what? To smile in the face of my brother’s killer while you make your own plans?
I taught you everything you need to survive. Now I must look to my own heart. Elena is all I have left. I am not going to lose her again.
Alejandro What about California? What about the people?
They still have Zorro.
