Don Diego de la Vega: I gave my life to them, and in return I lost everything. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was stolen to be raised by my mortal enemy. Alejandro Murrieta: Montero? Elena... she's your daughter. Don Diego de la Vega: Yes, she was. Alejandro Murrieta: So... you will simply take your revenge. Don Diego de la Vega: No, I will take my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you. Alejandro Murrieta: She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings, remember? Was that all a lie? Don Diego de la Vega: You're too young to understand. Alejandro Murrieta: 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? Don Diego de la Vega: Alejandro, I taught you everything you needed to survive. Now, I must look to my own heart. Elena is all I have left, I'm not going to lose her again. Alejandro Murrieta: What about California? What about the people? Don Diego de la Vega: They still have Zorro.

- Nothing you will do? - I gave my life to them. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was raised by my enemy. Montero? Elena... - She's your daughter. - She was. So, you will simply take your revenge. No, my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you. She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings. - Was that all a lie? - You are too young to understand. To understand what? Betrayal? All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what? To smile in the face of a 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. What about California? What about the people? They still have Zorro. Every inch of the countryside is covered. If he shows himself... - Are you all right? - Is your army ready to fight? - No, sir. - Then I'm not all right. I'm beginning to wonder if you want this operation to succeed at all. I think my horse could run this army better than you.
