Gargoyles S2E3 - English Transcript

(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": Stay here and keep guard, my brother. I will see you soon. Neither science nor sorcery have defeated Goliath. Perhaps a combination of the two will be more effective. What am I? You are cold stone brought to life. Cold stone I don't want to hurt you! Enough of this. - No! - No! Operating systems online. Initiating repair sequence. My love. - (angry yell) - They betray you. (roars) No, my love. Repairs complete. Initiating new program parameters. - (woman) Ohh! - Get out of here! Look out! - You're in luck. My partner just got the call. - Are they testing it out? - That's right. - Excellent! - Testing? - It's called "RECAP. " "Reconnaissance Emergency Cyber-Automated Probe. " It's just a machine for dealing with high-risk situations. "Just a machine"? Huh! Just the latest in robotics technology hooked to virtual reality. - Virtual reality? - The next best thing to being there. Come on. (alarm) - (beep) - Weapons directory located. Downloading all relevant files. Agh! Argh! What is this place? How did I come here? (siren) Matt, are you sure you know what you're doing? I didn't spend six months reading manuals for nothing. Besides, it's simple. The virtual reality hookup transmits directly to this visor. I see everything RECAP does. I just hope you handle that vacuum cleaner better than a squad car. How would you know? You never let me drive. (Matt) This is the police. Stay where you are. Why did you bring me here only to attack me? Tear gas doesn't even slow it down! Agh! Aargh! Ow! Freedom! Hey, that looks like Coldstone. My rookery brother? Alive? Goliath? - And? - They call me Lexington now. - What are you doing here? - We were about to ask you that question. I I am lost. It will come to you in time, brother. The important thing is, you are alive. Come. You will rejoin your clan, in our new home. I would like that, very much. Are you sure this is a good idea? He hasn't always been your friend. To invite him into our home, into our clan Without trust there can be no clan. (clock chimes) (growls) - Welcome home, lad. - Ah, mentor. It does my heart good to see you survived. There is only one other I've missed more. I (rapid bleeping) Brother Are you all right? Where am I? Goliath? My leader? Do you not recognize me, brother? "Brother"? Can you not see I'm your? My voice. It's different. And what is this place? This is not the castle! - I told you, brother. This is our home. - Why do you keep calling me? Aaargh! What are you doing? Stop! - What was that all about? - Beats me. I think something's wrong inside his head. And I know how to find out what. (rapid bleeping) (rapid bleeping) - What's wrong, brother? - Why, nothing brother. Stay back, lad. Something's wrong here. It's all right. I trust you, brother. Do you? Pity Argh! - You would betray my trust, brother? - You were a fool to extend it. Then you leave us no choice. (roars) It was just like the monster we saw in Times Square last winter. - City's crawling with 'em. - Elisa! It's Lex. Listen, Matt. I'll clean up here. You finish taking statements so we can call it a night. Sounds like a plan. - What's up, Lex? - The creature you're after is Coldstone. I guessed that. Witnesses say he tried to steal data from these files. But he picked the wrong computer to tap into. It was full of government defense specs for top-secret weapons, so they protected it with a powerful new computer virus capable of wiping out any unfamiliar program it infects. That explains a lot. Listen, Elisa, I'm gonna need a favor. (roars) (rapid bleeping) - Goliath! Why do you attack me? - He's playing us for fools. Ohh I I must have blacked out back at our new home. - Where are we? - You remember nothing? My head throbbing. - I - (rapid bleeping) - I will have your head! - (rapid bleeping) I will not fight you, my leader. - I - (rapid bleeping) I will destroy you! You're all I have left. You are a fool! Help me brother No! Leave me alone, all of you! Get out of my head! Silence! Trust Goliath. He is our rookery brother. She deceives you again. You see how she always sides with Goliath? I will make you be silent! - How are we supposed to find them? - Three guesses. (gunfire) (roars) Please, I beg you - Be quiet! - Who's he talking to? Somehow, he's being tortured from within. And if we want to save him, someone will have to go inside to do it. - RECAP's VR visor and hookup are gone! - Maybe someone took them to the station. Without telling me first? I don't think so. But not to worry. RECAP comes complete with a homing beacon. And don't be surprised if it leads us right to our creature. This isn't a good idea. I'm best qualified to go. Which is exactly why I need you watching the equipment, in case something goes wrong. (all gasp) (thunderclaps) Welcome. Surely you didn't expect to explore Coldstone's mind without my permission? Xanatos! No, merely a computer program designed by him. What is happening here? Coldstone was created by a combination of science and sorcery. The magical energy has merged with the cybernetic systems that make up his mind. My primary directive was to enslave Coldstone to Xanatos's will, but the computer virus has stopped me. As you can see, it is slowly devouring everything. - Careful. You may be next. - (roars) Allow me to help you, brother. - Goliath! - Rookery sister. How can this be? Coldstone was created from pieces of different gargoyles. Now all of our souls are trapped inside. See how Goliath steals your love away? It was the same a thousand years ago. And now, once again, they have betrayed your trust. No! - What's happening to him? - I wish I knew. I know sorcery when I see it. And this is the darkest kind. Lex, can you hear me? I'm on a police boat heading for Ellis Island. Get out of there. Matt's tracking the VR visor. I couldn't stop him. He's called in a SWAT team. They're all heading your way. Goliath! We gotta make tracks. Argh! - They're not going anywhere now. - Then we'll have to buy them some time. Aaagh! Do you think me blind? I know why you come to his defense! My love for you is eternal. And Goliath is not your enemy, but your brother and true friend. He has deceived you. He has set you against Goliath, as he tried to do a thousand years ago. Try to remember. My memories are clouded. Why should I trust you? If you can't trust me, then trust your heart. (roars) Our enemies conspire together for control of this mind. We must hurry. - (rumbling) - Too late! Merge yourself with me, sister. Then we can finally be together, as I always knew we should be. What in? What's going on? Come on, Goliath. They can't keep this up for long. Why do you fight me, my love? We are destined to be together for all eternity. I will choose who I love! Agh! No! 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. - If we can stop the virus, so be it. If we fail, we will still be united for all time. (helicopters overhead) We can't hold 'em back anymore. (Goliath) Then let us leave this place. We're right on top of it. Now we'll see what this creature looks like up close. - Looks like a rat to me. - What?! Our robotics division confiscated the remains of RECAP from the police. Easily accomplished, considering we supplied it to them in the first place. Coldstone provided the perfect cover for your robot probe. Pity we had to sacrifice him. Still, RECAP was able to download the computer virus program - through the Taser line. - Yes. But not the defense specs. Forget the defense specs. This virus is the deadliest weapon I know of. It even defeated the mighty Coldstone. Someday, I trust, you will find your way back, my brother, my sister, and when you do, I want you to be among friends.
