Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 11 - City of Stone: Part 3 - full transcript
In the past, MacBeth and Demona agree to help each other, the bargain is sealed with a magical pact by the Weird Sisters. In the present, Manhattan awakens with no knowledge of what transpired. Xanatos comes up with a plan, Elisa goes to confront him.
[GOLIATH] 1,000 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.
[XANATOS] PREVIOUSLY ON
GARGOYLES...
CARE TO TRY AGAIN,
MONSTER?
LORD AND LADY MacBETH!
[CROWD CHEERING]
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
A HUNTER, MY SON.
AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
THE HUNTED.
I WILL NOT LET HIM WIN!
WE BRING WORD
OF THE HUNTER.
DEMONA!
THE HUNTER!
HOW MANY TIMES MUST I DESTROY
YOU?
[HUNTER GRUNTING]
- IT'S YOU!
- XANATOS.
DO YOU WANT VENGEANCE
OR A SOLUTION?
THIS IS BIGGER THAN ANYTHING
EITHER OF US HAS EVER FACED.
TRUCE?
AGREED.
TURN ON THE TV.
WE GOT BIG PROBLEMS.
DEMONA'S--
HUH? HUH?
TWO SECONDS AGO,
IT WAS SUNSET.
NOW IT'S DAWN.
AND WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
DEMONA'S GOING TO TURN
EVERYONE TO STONE.
WE MUST--
AH. GOOD MORNING.
ARE YOU AWARE
OF WHAT'S HAPPENED?
IT'S FAIRLY EASY
TO DEDUCE.
YOU STOPPED
THE BROADCAST I PRESUME?
WITH A LITTLE HELP
FROM MY FRIENDS.
GOLIATH HAS AGREED
TO WORK WITH US.
THEN I SUGGEST SEARCHING
THE GRIMORUM ARCANORUM.
THERE MAY BE
A COUNTERSPELL THAT--
WOULD FINDING ONE HELP?
NONE OF US ARE
PRACTICING SORCERERS,
AND I'M TOLD MIXING MAGICKS
IS DANGEROUS ANYWAY.
THEN PERHAPS
A SCIENTIFIC CURE?
PERHAPS.
WHAT WAS
THE EXACT TRANSLATION
OF DEMONA'S SPELL?
"ALL WHO SEE THIS,
ALL WHO HEAR THIS,
TURN TO STONE
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
UNTIL THE SKIES BURN."
THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SET
THE SKY ABLAZE.
I SUGGEST WE HURRY.
THERE'S ONLY 12 HOURS
UNTIL SUNSET.
NOW THAT THE MYSTERIOUS
BROADCAST HAS CEASED,
WE ARE BACK ON THE AIR.
BUT THE BIG QUESTION
IN THE BIG APPLE IS...
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?
AND WHY DOESN'T ANYONE,
INCLUDING THIS REPORTER,
REMEMBER?
I CAN TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED!
I SAW IT ALL!
LET HER THROUGH!
LET HER THROUGH!
WE'VE SEEM TO HAVE
AN EYEWITNESS HERE.
EVERYONE WAS TURNED
TO STONE...
LIKE A BUNCH OF STATUES.
AND, WHY DIDN'T YOU
TURN TO STONE?
BECAUSE I NEVER
WATCH TELEVISION.
RIGHT. WELL,
THANKS VERY MUCH.
OBVIOUSLY, THESE EVENTS
HAVE TAKEN THE HEAVIEST TOLL
ON THE MOST FRAGILE
AMONG US.
NOW, BACK TO THE STUDIO
FOR AN EXPERT REPORT
ON MASS HYPNOSIS.
ALL THESE CENTURIES
OF PURSUIT,
AND SHE'S SLIPPED
FROM MY GRASP AGAIN!
[GIGGLING]
MIND YOU DON'T FALL, CANMORE!
HAVE NO FEAR, KING DUNCAN.
THE PRINCE WILL BE SAFE.
MY BOY LUOCH
KNOWS THESE HILLS
AS WELL AS HE KNOWS
CASTLE MORAY.
THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER
THEY DO SEEM TO...
GET ALONG.
THEY'RE COUSINS.
THEY SHOULD BE FRIENDS.
YES, WELL, UH...
SOME COUSINS
ARE NOT THAT CLOSE.
AH!
HOLD ON!
[GRUNTING]
MacBETH...
YOU SAVED MY LIFE!
I'M SURE YOU'D HAVE DONE
AS MUCH FOR ME, MY LORD.
THIS DISPELS ANY DOUBTS
ABOUT YOUR LOYALTY TO ME
AND TO THE CROWN!
WHAT IS IT?
GARGOYLES!
OH!
[GRUNTS]
MY LORD!
I BEG YOU. SPARE THEM.
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HUMANS
AND GARGOYLES FOUGHT
SIDE BY SIDE.
THIS ONE AND I
HAVE A SIMILAR HISTORY.
AS YOU WISH.
WE OWE YOU OUR LIFE.
WE WILL
GRANT THEM THEIRS
FOR YOUR SAKE.
WE ONLY HOPE
THAT WE DO NOT COME
TO REGRET YOUR COUNSEL.
I TIRE OF THIS OUTING.
[BIRDS SQUAWKING]
CANMORE, WE'RE LEAVING!
MUST WE GO BACK SO SOON?
CURSE THIS FOG!
WE'LL LOSE OUR WAY
IF IT DOESN'T LIFT!
[WOLF HOWLS]
[GASPS]
DOUBLE, DOUBLE,
TOIL AND TROUBLE.
FIRE BURN
AND CAULDRON BUBBLE!
ALL HAIL, DUNCAN!
KING OF SCOTLAND!
FATHER OF THE KING
HEREAFTER!
ALL HAIL, MacBETH!
KING OF SCOTLAND
AND FATHER OF THE KING
HEREAFTER!
YOU SPEAK TREASON,
OLD CRONE!
YOU ARE BUT HALF RIGHT,
GOOD MOTHERS.
DUNCAN IS THE RIGHT
AND PROPER KING.
KING NOW, HE IS,
BUT EACH OF YOU
SHALL IN TURN BE KING.
I SAY THEE NAY,
WEIRD SISTERS.
PRINCE CANMORE
IS DESTINED TO BE KING AFTER
DUNCAN.
YOU WOULD LECTURE US ON FATE?
MY KING, WE MUST NOT TAKE
SERIOUSLY
THE RAVINGS
OF THREE OLD BEDLAMS!
YOU SPEAK WISELY, MacBETH.
IT'S UTTER NONSENSE...
OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
[DUNCAN]
IF MacBETH COUNTS
ON THE GARGOYLES' AID
IN THE COMING BATTLE,
HE'LL FIND IT
A FUTILE HOPE.
PERHAPS IS THIS BUSINESS
BETTER CONDUCTED
AT DAWN, MY LIEGE?
I FOUND THEM HERE
THIS MORNING.
TOMORROW WE MIGHT
NOT BE SO LUCKY.
[GROWLING]
HOOTRAH!
THIS CAVE
WILL BE YOUR TOMB!
TAKE TO THE AIR. QUICKLY!
[FLAPPING]
WE MUST FIND ANOTHER LAIR.
THE HUNTING THERE WAS GOOD.
YES...
BUT WE ARE STILL THE PREY.
I WEARY OF THIS
FUGITIVE LIFE.
BUT TIRED OR NAY, THERE'S
NO ONE ELSE TO LEAD THE LAST
OF OUR KIND.
HAD I BUT THE STRENGTH
OF MY YOUTH,
I'D GIVE THE HUMANS
CAUSE TO RUN!
THERE MUST BE A WAY!
THOSE WEIRD SISTERS
WHO TOLD ME
OF THE HUNTER,
THEY APPEAR
AND DISAPPEAR
LIKE THE WIND.
PERHAPS THEY CAN HELP.
YOU HAVE NEWS FOR ME,
BODHE?
KING DUNCAN'S ARMY
MOVES AGAINST YE.
BUT WHY?
I SAVED HIS LIFE!
HE MUST HAVE SOME REASON
TO FEAR YOU.
WELL...
IF IT'S A FIGHT
HE WANTS...
BE REASONABLE, MacBETH.
YOUR RETAINERS ARE LOYAL,
BUT NO MATCH
FOR DUNCAN'S FORCES.
THE CLAN WILL BE
AT HIS MERCY.
BUT IF YOU SURRENDER
NOW,
DUNCAN MIGHT AGREE
TO SPARE MY DAUGHTER
AND GRANDSON.
[SIGHS]
PERHAPS YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE THOUGHT TO LIGHTEN
YOUR STERN DISCOURSE
WITH THIS SWEET FARE.
ALWAYS REMEMBER...
I LOVE YOU.
HUSBAND, WHAT IS WRONG?
MIND YOUR MOTHER...
ALWAYS.
MacBETH,
TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON?
OH, IT'S NOTHING.
I GO TO SEE MY COUSIN THE KING.
SO, BE OF GOOD CHEER, HMM?
THE JOURNEY
WILL BE BRIEF.
[HORSE SNORTS]
[HORSE WHINNYING]
[GASPS]
YOU!
YOU ARE THE ANSWER!
I AM UNINTERESTED
IN THE QUESTION.
WAIT!
DON'T YOU REMEMBER ME?
TOGETHER, WE DEFEATED
THE HUNTER.
THAT IS THE ONLY REASON
I DO NOT CRUSH YOU
WHERE YOU STAND!
I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN.
I HAVE MY OWN PROBLEMS.
THE HUNTER STILL SEEKS
MY DEATH.
THERE IS GREAT EVIL
ABROAD.
I BEG YOU...
HELP ME DEFEND MY CLAN.
AND WHAT ABOUT MY CLAN?
HELP ME NOW,
AND I SWEAR TO KEEP THEM
FOREVER SAFE.
YOU SING AN OLD SONG.
HOW DO I KNOW
YOU'LL KEEP YOUR WORD?
[WIND WHISTLING]
THIS IS MORE THAN CHANCE.
THIS BARGAIN CALLS FOR
AN ACT OF GOOD FAITH.
BARGAIN?
WE HAVE NO BARGAIN.
WHAT DO YOU DESIRE?
MY YOUTH RESTORED,
SO I MAY CONTINUE
TO LEAD MY CLAN.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU
BE WILLING TO TRADE,
MacBETH OF MORAY?
ANYTHING TO SAVE MY FAMILY.
THE BONES ARE CAST.
LET US BEGIN.
ACROSS THE MISTS
OF SPACE AND TIME,
WE POSE THIS COVENANT
SUBLIME.
MacBETH HIS YOUTH
DOTH OFFER HERE.
TO MAKE THIS ONE
A FORCE TO FEAR.
WHILE SHE WITH FANG
AND CLAW AND WING
DOTH SWEAR SWEET DEATH
HIS FOES TO BRING.
BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE
ARE THEY CONSIGNED
UNTO EACH OTHER'S FATE
RESIGNED.
FOR EVER AND ETERNAL BOUND,
AND EACH THE OTHER'S PAIN
RESOUND!
THE PACT IS MADE.
OUR WORK IS DONE.
MAKE HASTE.
THE STORM IS COMING.
AND KNOW THIS...
WHEN DUNCAN SPOKE,
GILLECOMGAIN QUICKLY
DID HIS BIDDING.
DUNCAN ORDERED
YOUR FATHER'S MURDER.
WHAT?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
OUR FORCES ARE IN PLACE.
IT WILL BEGIN SOON.
I HOPE YOU HAVE NOT MADE
A BAD BARGAIN, HUSBAND.
[WAILING]
IT'S TIME, MacBETH.
TAKE GRUOCH AND LUOCH
BEHIND THE LINES TO SAFETY.
COME ALONG, LADDIE.
FIGHT BRAVELY, MY LOVE.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW.
YOU FIGHT LIKE A DEMON!
[GASPS]
UGH!
TIME FOR A LITTLE
FAMILY REUNION, COUSIN.
[GASPS]
NO!
THIS I MUST DO.
YOU BROUGHT THIS
ON YOURSELF, COS.
I WAS LOYAL.
YOU HAVE A STRANGE WAY
OF SHOWING IT.
TREACHEROUS HUMAN!
NOW IT ENDS, USURPER!
[GASPS]
THE HUNTER'S MASK.
AYE.
SO THE BATTLE
IS TRULY OVER...
-FOR BOTH OF US.
-MacBETH, THE NIGHT IS WON!
[CHEERING]
[GRUOCH] HAIL, MacBETH...
KING OF SCOTLAND!
-HAIL!
-KING MacBETH!
WHERE ARE
YOUR MANNERS, BOY?
IT'S CUSTOMARY TO BOW
TO YOUR KING!
IF MY FATHER'S DEAD,
THEN I AM KING,
AND YOU SHOULD BOW TO ME!
HE'LL BE TROUBLE.
SLAY HIM NOW.
NO. I'LL HAVE NO MORE BLOOD
ON MY HANDS.
CANMORE, I WILL
SPARE YOUR LIFE,
BUT YOU ARE HENCEFORTH
BANISHED TO ENGLAND.
PERHAPS YOUR RELATIVES
THERE WILL WELCOME YOU.
YOU ARE THE CAUSE
OF ALL THIS!
YOU--YOU MONSTER!
MacBETH HAS SPARED
YOUR LIFE, BOY.
DON'T THROW IT AWAY.
AND AS HIGH KING,
I SWEAR BY
THE STONE OF DESTINY
TO PROTECT SCOTLAND
AND TO SERVE HER PEOPLE
ALL MY DAYS.
LET THIS MARK THE BEGINNING
OF A GOLDEN AGE
BETWEEN ALL OUR CLANS,
BOTH HUMAN
AND GARGOYLE!
HUMANS WILL LEARN
TO RESPECT YOU.
I WOULD RATHER
THEY FEARED ME.
THEY'LL DO THAT, TOO...
DEMONA.
DEMONA?
I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
I HEREBY
DECLARE DEMONA
MY PRIMARY ADVISOR.
-YAY!
-HOORAY!
HOORAY!
[MUSIC PLAYS]
A WHOLE NIGHT. I'VE LOST
A WHOLE NIGHT!
SOMEONE TELL ME, PLEASE,
WHAT HAPPENED?
DON'T WORRY, SIR.
WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
[EVERYBODY TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
THE FCC's
TRACKED THE BROADCAST
TO PACK MEDIA STUDIOS.
OFFICERS ON THE SCENE
HAVE REPORTED SIGNS OF CONFLICT,
BUT NO HARD LEADS.
ANY THOUGHTS, MAZA?
NO GOOD ONES.
WE'D BEST HURRY.
IT'S NEARLY SUNSET.
THE PACKS FOR YOU
AND THE GARGOYLES
STILL NEED TO BE PREPARED.
AH! THE CHARMING
DETECTIVE MAZA.
DEMONA'S BROADCAST ORIGINATED
AT PACK MEDIA STUDIOS.
YOU OWN IT,
SO, AS USUAL,
THIS IS YOUR FAULT.
MR. XANATOS IS TRYING
TO FIX THINGS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO HELP?
THAT'S ONE WAY
TO SETTLE AN ARGUMENT.
-PERFECT TIMING.
-WHAT'S ELISA DOING HERE?
SHE DOESN'T LOOK HAPPY.
OWEN SOMETIMES HAS THAT EFFECT
ON PEOPLE.
WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT OUT
YOUR ROBOTS?
THEY'RE AN INTEGRAL PART
OF THE PLAN.
THE SPELL
IS DESIGNED TO END
-WHEN THE SKY BURNS.
-AND YOU CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN?
WECAN.
WE'LL FLY OVER THE CITY
CARRYING THESE PACKS.
THEY'VE BEEN RIGGED TO DISPENSE
A HARMLESS,
HYPERGOLIC GAS.
AT A PRESET TIME,
THE PACKS
WILL DETONATE,
AND THE GAS
WILL IGNITE.
I'LL LOSE ALL MY ROBOTS,
BUT I CAN AFFORD IT.
FOR 10 SECONDS, THE SKY
WILL APPEAR TO BE ON FIRE.
HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL
BREAK THE SPELL.
[CLEARS THROAT] THAT TAPESTRY'S
FROM THE 12th CENTURY--
QUITE RARE AND VALUABLE.
GO LIE DOWN, BRONX.
WE'LL BE BACK SOON...
I HOPE.
[GROWLS]
AND ARE WE TO BE SACRIFICED
WITH THE ROBOTS?
OF COURSE NOT.
YOU'LL HAVE 25 MINUTES.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE OUT
OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
BEFORE THE TIME RUNS OUT.
[SIGHS]
VERY WELL.
THIS HAS TO WORK.
THERE ARE SECRETS
ABOUT THIS CASTLE
EVEN YOU DON'T KNOW,
XANATOS.
AND SO NICE OF HIM
TO LEAVE THIS COMPUTER ON-LINE.
THAT WILL MAKE IT EASY
TO SPOIL HIS PLANS.
BUT FIRST, I'LL TAKE CARE
OF SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
I THOUGHT I'D RID MYSELF
OF YOU LONG AGO, HUMAN.
FORTUNATELY, THAT MISTAKE
IS EASILY RECTIFIED.
SUPERSTITION
AND THE SWORD RULED.

ABOUT THIS CASTLE
EVEN YOU DON'T KNOW,

TO LEAVE THIS COMPUTER ON-LINE.

OF SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
I THOUGHT I'D RID MYSELF
OF YOU LONG AGO, HUMAN.
FORTUNATELY, THAT MISTAKE
IS EASILY RECTIFIED.
