Gargoyles (1994) s02e13 Episode Script

(Goliath) One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.
It was a time of darkness.
It was a world of fear.
It was the age of gargoyles.
Stone by day, warriors by night.
We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.
Now, here in Manhattan the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night.
We are gargoyles.
Previously on "Gargoyles": That looks like Coldstone.
My rookery brother? Alive? I will destroy you! You're all I have left.
Help me brother Coldstone was created from pieces of different gargoyles.
Now all of our souls are trapped inside.
You must return to your body, brother, before the vortex consumes everything.
- But what about you? - We are finally together.
That is all that matters.
Aha! Back so soon? What have you brought me? Heather.
The hills beyond are covered with their bloom.
How wonderful! I had thought the season for heather had passed.
Alas, it has no scent.
Like everything here, it is not real.
It's true this world has no substance.
But it also has nothing that can separate us.
You're right, my love.
That alone makes it beautiful.
As are you.
Why will he not leave us in peace? Let him lurk.
He no longer has the power to come between us.
(Hudson) "The city honored Rosaria Sanchez and Peter Choy, "who last week pulled a five-year-old from the lake in Central Park, "and resuscitated him.
" "When asked about their heroic act, "the teenagers agreed it was the rig the rig hit" (Elisa) The right thing to do.
Hi, Elisa.
How did you know what they said? Were you there? Mm! No.
But choosing to save the child took real courage.
And that always feels right.
I guess you do that all the time, huh? I'm no hero.
I just do my job.
(yawns) And my job for tonight is over.
All I want to do is hit the sack.
Why would you want to hit a sack? Oh, she means she's tired and wants to sleep.
Well, then, why didn't she say so? (yawns) I brought you some more books on computer viruses, Lex.
- Are you getting anywhere here? - I think so.
The virus that attacked Coldstone wiped his programming clean.
Nothing's broken, but nothing's working either.
It's a blank slate.
Even the virus is gone.
But the three gargoyle souls used to create Coldstone were put there by magic, not programming.
I know.
They've gotta be in there somewhere.
If I could just devise a simple operating program (yawns) You'll figure it out.
I'll see you tonight.
I've gotta get some sleep.
As do we.
(cracking) (yawns) Yeah, I know the feeling.
Either my beat's getting longer, or I'm getting older.
Go home, Morgan.
See you later.
You too.
You know that badge? She looks familiar.
Nah, just another rookie.
Who else would cuff a guy that big with his hands in front of him? Yeah.
Someone should tell her.
And then go home! Hey, rookie.
Wait a second.
(muffled conversation) Where'd they go? Very weird.
Uh-oh.
Very weird and very bad.
Come out with your hands up.
Ow! Uh Macbeth! You and your little friend won't get away with this.
Ugh! Sweet dreams, Detective.
You shouldn't have stopped me.
Once you stunned her, I could have rid us of her and the gargoyles forever! They were helpless.
There's no honor in that.
You and your stupid code of honor! What are you complaining about? Our stolen cargo is safely stowed in back and no one else spotted us leaving.
So lighten up, Demona.
How long was I out? Wow! Most of the day.
Oh, thank goodness.
All present and accounted for.
Coldstone! But how did Macbeth get him out of here? They couldn't just walk him out of the door.
Even in New York, people would notice that.
Oh, I might as well stop talking to myself and wait.
It'll be sunset soon.
We don't need to wait for sunset.
You're still thinking like a gargoyle.
I am a gargoyle.
Although this form does prove useful at times.
Let's get on with this.
Put the disk in now.
No.
Coldstone doesn't know you and he certainly wouldn't recognize me like this.
It begins.
Uh! (both gasp) (both scream) (roars) Is it supposed to hurt that much? I thought you said the changeling Puck turns you to a human during the day as a gift? Puck's gifts always come with a price.
My only consolation is that our magical link allows you to suffer as well.
Just get on with it.
- What is this thing? - A portal of some kind.
But to where? - Should we follow? - No.
Good riddance to him.
As long as we are together, nothing else matters.
Sister.
How do you feel, brother? Vengeful.
I left Macbeth with the Weird Sisters.
How did he escape them? - How did he find us? - Did you recognize the woman? She seemed familiar but I just can't place her.
So why would they steal Coldstone? I don't know.
But we can't leave my brother in their hands.
Aye.
It's time we pay Macbeth a visit.
This is terrible.
I mean, I want to go with you but I go back on duty in 30 minutes.
I think the six of us can handle Macbeth.
You have an entire city to protect.
You have a point.
Just make sure you're careful.
And I want a full report later.
Good thing I got that long enforced nap.
(Broadway) You're good at bypassing alarms, Lex.
Don't give me credit.
It was too easy.
And it's too quiet.
I'd say Macbeth's expecting us.
Then let's see if we can flush him out.
Brooklyn, Bronx, you go that way.
Hudson, Broadway, take the second floor.
That camera's online.
He knows we're here.
If so, he's watching us from his control room.
Help me find it.
No one's here.
Let's go.
No, wait.
If it worked for him, it can work for us.
Hmm, let's see here.
See? Easy as pie.
You're right.
It's too easy.
- Still, we have no choice.
- Goliath, wait.
Macbeth's got him operational again but there's no way of knowing which of Coldstone's three personalities is in control.
Just remember, one of them hates your guts.
(growls) Then I'll just have to be very careful.
- Oh kinda spooky, isn't it? - (growls) (growls) What is it, boy? (growls) (snuffling and growling) Just a closet.
(sniffs) (barks) Look at all these books! And I know how to read them.
Get him! He's going for a staircase.
Up there! - Uh! - Whoa! - Oof! - Urgh! (groans) Get off me! (snarling and barking) Got her, boy! Don't come any closer! It's a trap.
- (Broadway) Not any more! - Our host was catching up on his reading.
You don't understand.
Demona is still out there.
Some of his circuits must be crossed.
Macbeth and Demona would never work together.
Uh Guess again.
They must have both escaped the Weird Sisters together.
But why team up? They hate each other.
(Hudson) Maybe misery loves company.
We'll figure it out later.
Let's free Coldstone.
- You believe it's safe? - He didn't have to warn us about Demona.
I think the right personality's in control.
Thank you.
I feared you would be captured coming to my aid.
I should have had more faith.
Now to deal with these two.
- What are you gonna do? - Just this.
Now.
(gargoyles scream) (groans) (Coldstone laughs) My love, you know our soul mate is up to no good.
Let someone else take up the cause.
We have earned our measure of peace.
No note, nothing.
If they're not back by sunrise, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta get some sleep.
But I can't leave without knowing they're safe.
(yawns) Goliath? (gasps) Spending the day here, Demona? The sun's about to come up.
(chuckles) Is it really? Uh! Argh! Aaah! Oh (gasps) If you're human, then you're subject to human laws.
You're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
If I remain silent, you'll never see your precious Goliath again.
- Where is he? - Before I destroy Goliath, I want to prove to him once and for all what you humans are really like.
I'll bring Goliath and the others to Belvedere Castle in Central Park at high noon.
If you show up, you still won't save them and it will certainly cost you your life.
But if you don't show, Goliath will see what human loyalty is really worth.
Either way, I win.
Taxi! (sighs) What's the point? I know where she's going.
- (Morgan) We gotta stop meeting like this.
- What? You're looking a bit frayed around the edges, girl.
You sleeping? Only a few hours in the last 40.
Well, shift's over.
Climb into bed and pull it in after you.
(sighs) You don't know how much I'd like to.
And when I woke up, it would be over for me.
No more monsters, good or bad.
Just normal life.
Normal life would be nice.
For a while.
But they need me.
Isn't that why you put on the badge? Yeah.
That's exactly why.
Thanks, Morgan.
You've been a big help.
Um Sure, Detective.
Anytime.
I never dreamt I'd see the sun.
Why haven't I turned to stone? (Demona) Because you are no longer a gargoyle.
Day or night, you are Coldstone.
- Why does no one see us? - It's enough that they don't.
Leave it be.
Is this right? To do nothing is not the gargoyle way.
We are no longer gargoyles.
We are shadows.
Even shadows must be true to their shade.
You are brave, human.
But stupid.
- I'm unarmed.
- That was your first mistake.
And your last.
Surely you're not afraid to face her hand-to-hand? I fear no human! Come, Detective.
Goliath cannot save you now.
I'm here to save him.
- Yaa! - Ugh! Hah! You fight like a rookie.
(gasping and grunting) Well! This is diverting.
You don't know the half of it.
- This is truly paradise.
- But can bliss outlast the lie you live? You know that only you can stop your evil brother.
You speak the truth.
My love, do we take up the cause? Yes! It is the gargoyle way.
No! I am besieged! No! I'll hold him while you take control of Coldstone and repair the damage he has done.
Go, my love! Quickly! - (Macbeth) Are you all right? - Just let me access my memory banks.
Ugh! It seems your allegiance has shifted slightly.
Airship, priority one extraction.
Demona! To me.
Wait! I need you to help get the chains off the gargoyles.
Besides, hasn't there been enough fighting for one day? I must take my leave of you, my lady.
Wait.
Goliath and the others will want to see you.
No.
There are forces at war within me, and until that battle is decided no living gargoyle is safe from Coldstone.
Tell my brother I will return someday.
If I can.
Hey, where'd those statues come from? (sighs) Don't ask me.
I'm just taking a nap.
Because I did it your way, Elisa and the gargoyles are still alive! Destroying them wasn't our primary objective.
And we lost Coldstone! What primary objective? These magical talismans.
If we'd stolen them alone, Goliath wouldn't have rested until he got them back.
This way, it will be weeks before he even notices they're gone.
Yes.
I used a spell from the Grimorum to shield us from prying eyes at the clock tower, and at the park.
But why did we steal these things? And how did we even know where to find them? For that matter, why are we working together? (growls) It seems we have arrived just in time, my sisters.
The spell we placed on these two was about to wear off.
You can only compel someone to act against their nature for so long.
Was it wise to release Coldstone? Perhaps we could have found a way to place a spell on him as well.
We do not need Coldstone.
These will do quite nicely in the coming battle.
