"Vengeance" is the fourth episode of the syndicated television series Queen of Swords, airing October 28, 2000.

A Don is killed by an assassin and his son, Tessa's childhood friend Ramon, seeks vengeance, but the Queen soon realises Dr Helm was the real target for the assassin's vengeance and Colonel Montoya is prepared to sacrifice the Doctor to kill the Queen.

[1] The harvest festival is in full swing in Santa Helena and Tessa is happily dancing with Ramon and remembering when they were children.

Dr Helm decides to take Aguilera to the closest building, the church, to treat him while a stunned Ramon, looking for the culprit, spies Don Fuentes watching.

That night the stranger is afoot knocking out a soldier guarding the church and climbs to the roof and a window overlooking Dr Helm watching over his patient.

The Queen admonishes him, and the fact Ramon believes Don Fuentes is responsible, but the doctor rebukes her telling her to stay out of his business.

Colonel Montoya having observed a light at the hotel confronts the doctor, and realises Helm is involved somehow.

The queen decides to lead Montoya and his lancers away but the assassin remains to pursue Dr Helm.

Montoya arrives and engages the Queen, disarming her of the whip with his sword, leaving her with only her dagger, but she overcomes him and they are distracted by the ongoing duel watching Helm knock out Latham.

In the distraction Montoya recovers the loaded crossbow but is prevented from shooting the Queen by Dr Helm and she makes her escape.

Latham recovers and charges Dr Helm sword in hand and Montoya kills him with the crossbow.
