Gargoyles (1994) s01e04 Episode Script
Awakening (4)
Once you're out of the way, we'll hunt down those other ones like you.
No.
l won't let you.
(man, laughing) What makes you think you've got a choice? Oof! Goliath.
Cease firing! They won't get far.
(eats noisily) These are great.
You should try some.
We would have, if you hadn't eaten the entire cartful.
(crash) (sighs) This is a big city.
My wings are tired.
Mine too.
And it's a long way back to the castle.
Yo! Taxi! Hm.
Yo, taxi.
(gasps) Looks like we walk.
- What is wrong with me? - This is what's wrong.
They pumped you full of something.
- And this is how they found us.
- What is it? A radio transmitter.
Some form of magic that led them to us? That's one way of putting it.
Look.
Some kind of manufacturer's logo.
But how did this transmitter get on me? - Good question.
- (panting dog) Come here, boy.
Come here.
Easy.
Easy, boy.
(whines happily) Go on.
Go on.
Go.
Go.
There, let 'em chase Rover instead of us.
Ugh! Come on.
Let's get out of here before something else happens.
(Hudson laughs at TV comedy) (snarls) - Come, boy.
- (grunts) They should be getting back soon.
(whines) - lt's about time you lads came home.
- This city is a fascinating place.
- Underground tubes with giant metal - Lights so bright they turn night into day.
- Huge metal ships.
- All kinds of food! Have you seen Goliath? We thought he'd be back by now, it's almost dawn.
Aye, that's what worries me.
( Goliath) Too late.
- l'll never make it back before sunrise.
- Before sunrise? Helpless.
During the day no defense.
l don't get it.
What happens at sunrise? You'll see.
Goliath, we've gotta move.
(gasps) Goliath? Goliath! - There she goes! - Where's the beast? We'll track him later with the transmitter.
Get her! (panting) (panting) Fan out.
Argh! Uh! (breathes heavily) (sighs) Empty.
(gunfire) - That takes care of that.
- Let's just make sure.
(gasps for breath) (cries out) You don't know it, but you're making this harder than it had to be.
(gasps) lt's over, lady.
Don't get me wrong, l admire you.
You and that freak job took out four of my people.
And now Uh-oh.
(gunfire) Argh! (panting) Lot to go through for a piece of lawn sculpture.
(running footsteps and panting) (panting) l've run this path for five years and l've never noticed that statue before.
Yeah.
This park's just full of surprises.
(cracking) (gasps) Goliath? - Are you OK? - Of course.
- That sedative seems to have worn off.
- Sleep rejuvenates us.
You stayed with me throughout the entire day? Yeah, well, someone had to make sure those comic book rejects didn't find you.
Thank you.
lt is very possible that you saved my life.
So now we're even.
l must return.
They'll be worried about me.
l understand.
So, uh later tonight? (all yawn) Don't worry, lads, he'll be back.
We didn't survive a thousand years' sleep just to lose him now.
- l hope you're right.
- (whimpers) Look! - We were worried about you.
- What happened? It appears we have enemies.
We're ready for him now, Owen.
Given what happened, l wish you had accompanied us last night, Hudson.
- Hudson? - Aye, it's my name.
- And what would you make of it? - lt's a fine name.
''Hudson.
'' Uh, l-l like it.
We should choose names too.
Names that suit our new lives here.
Oh? And what might they be? Hm.
Brooklyn.
l'm Brooklyn.
Broadway.
Uh, Lexington.
Do you like it? They're all fine names.
l guess he'll need one as well now.
Oh, l've got one for him too.
- From now on, you're ''Bronx.
'' - (growls) - l think he likes it.
- (someone clears their throat) You wish to see me, Xanatos? Goliath.
There's someone here l want you to meet.
An old acquaintance, l believe.
Who? (gasps) - You're alive.
- Goliath.
My love.
My angel.
lt really is you.
Oh, Goliath.
All the days that l've dreamed of you and this moment.
(Xanatos clears throat) l'm very happy for you both.
This man has brought us together, my love.
We owe our reunion to David Xanatos.
But how? You were shattered by the Vikings.
No.
l feared for your safety, so l left the castle to find you.
But l lost my way and the sun rose before l could return.
But how did you survive all these centuries? When l returned to the castle, the magus had already turned you to stone.
l begged him to cast his spell on me so that we might awaken together.
l saw her a year ago and was so impressed, l acquired her for my private collection.
Then, after l woke you up, it seemed plausible that a trip to the castle might have the same effect on her.
With you alive, l can start to live again as well.
As you said, you and l are one, now and forever.
Lass! ls it really you? - lt's impossible.
- How did you l'll answer your questions later.
lt's just so good to see all of you again.
- My love, l must ask a favor of you.
- Anything.
Xanatos has told me of the disks that were stolen from him.
He wants our help in retrieving them.
Yes, and l think we should help him, out of gratitude for reuniting us, if nothing else.
l agree.
And perhaps by helping him, we can rid ourselves of the humans who hunt us.
Besides, with you by my side, l can do anything.
(computer beeps) l've explained the strengths and weaknesses of each fortress and given you what l think are the best plans of attack.
Only your speed and strength can stand against their defenses.
We will take the air fortress.
- You three will breach the tower.
- Cool.
- What? - lt's a new word we learned last night.
- lt indicates a positive response.
- Ah.
Hudson, the underground base is yours, but take Bronx with you.
- l'm perfectly capable of - Take him with you.
- He needs the exercise.
- (growls) Be careful, all of you.
Humans are much more dangerous in these times.
Come on, then.
Let's go! - They'd better not be harmed.
- They are young and impetuous, but they are also warriors, trained by the best.
To soar with you again, it's like a dream.
We've dreamed for a thousand years, Goliath, it's time for our dreams to come true.
(grunts) The disk will be well-guarded, no doubt.
lf humans wish to throw away their worthless lives guarding it, that's their concern.
This way.
(man) Hold it right there.
You won't fire those guns in here, you could damage the airship.
- Don't bet your life on it, monster.
- lt's too risky.
(man) Stand back.
l'm warning you.
Argh! (panting) (snarls) Argh! - Uh! - (punch) The gunfire may alert the others.
We'd better hurry.
Wait.
What are you doing? What does it look like? l'm making sure they don't cause us more trouble later.
No! To kill in the heat of battle is one thing, but not like this.
The centuries have made you weak, Goliath.
(thud) - The magic in this century is so so - Cool? Exactly.
We need a way in.
No problem.
Xanatos said it's four floors down.
(grunts) Ooh-oh.
This isn't like the elevators back at the castle.
Hm.
Not enough room to glide down.
Well, we'll just use this rope here in the middle.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Looks like this is it.
This is easy.
We'll have that disk and be back in time for supper.
(guns cock) A late supper.
No.
l won't let you.
(man, laughing) What makes you think you've got a choice? Oof! Goliath.
Cease firing! They won't get far.
