Night of the Tolchen (Season 1, Episode 3)
Montecero has his men working in a cave that has wealth and find a jeweled lock pin holding a door closed; the men remove the pin and take it back to Montecero. The pin held the door that kept Tolchen, an ancient Native warrior who was transformed into a monster, sealed. Tolchen feeds upon the energy of people, draining their energy and making people his slaves. Garcia and his men go to the cave, are mesmerized, and drawn into the cave by Tolchen, who feed upon them and makes them his slaves. Zorro learns of Tolchen's past and the problem he represents from Grey Owl and heads to the cave; in the cave, he encounters Garcia and the men who capture him and bring him to Tolchen. Tolchen begins to feed on Zorro but his talisman stops the feeding and Zorro escapes from the cave. Zorro heads to Montecero's compound to retrieve the pin and then heads to the pirates who hold the pin after Montecero gave it to them; Tolchen sends Garcia and his men to get Isabella, who has enough energy to satisfy Tolchen. Zorro heads to the cave, but must fight Isabella, Garcia and the men along with Tolchen. The rising sun allows the pin to open up a chasm that seals Tolchen away and frees Isabella, Garcia and his men.
