Summary In 1788, Alejandro's wife Elena gave birth in Madrid to two boys, Diego and one who was taken away by nurse Inez. Years later, royal emissary Don Gilberto Resendo chooses a ruthless way to assert absolute authority beyond the call of collecting a 10,000 pesos special tax for the Spanish war effort against France: the alcalde is sentenced to death merely for 'incompetence' because the emissary's royal guards easily overpower the logically surprised lancers garrison; Diego is arrested for reporting a friend from the front contradicts in a letter the emissary's war optimism. Gilberto is surprised to learn don Alejandro is a de la Vega, a friend of the royal family, and as a courtesy releases Diego. So Zorro can prepare to intervene at de Soto's execution, for terrorizing effect by quartering between horse-carts, which sergeant Mendoza bravely refuses to carry trough -his own death sentence- under expert invisible sniper cover from Felipe's rifle, and ride off after a threat to return unless Risendo leaves quickly after collecting his tax. Gilberto corresponds with his mother in Madrid...
