Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 26 - Kingdom - full transcript
As Brooklyn struggles with his leadership duties in Goliath's absence, Fang of the Mutates seizes power in their underground home.
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.
(ROAR)
We were betrayed by the humans
we had sworn to protect,
frozen in stone
by a magic spell
for 1,000 years.
Now, here in Manhattan,
the spell is broken
and we live again.
(DEEP ROAR)
We are defenders of the night.
We are Gargoyles!
ELISA:
Previously onGargoyles...
Avalon sends you
where you need to be!
Gargoyles and humans must
learn to live together again
or it will never be safe
for us in the outside world.
Goliath,
I want to go with you.
I have to go.
See the world.
Find my place in it.
And so you will.
I can’t help noticing
that Angela sort of
looks like Demona.
Whose daughter
is she?
Daughters and sons belong
to the whole clan, Elisa.
It is the gargoyle way.
ELISA: Well,
we’re not on Avalon anymore.
Could this be Manhattan?
This is not Manhattan.
Goliath’s right.
It’s too quiet.
(CHUCKLES)
And the water’s way too clean.
(GROWLS)
(BARKING)
Easy, Bronx.
- What was that?
- I’m not sure.
It looked like it
was made of metal.
I don’t see
anything now.
It passed beneath us.
It was huge!
(BARKS)
What do we do?
We go ashore.
We’ll have a better
vantage from there.
GOLIATH:
The surface is unbroken now.
Whatever Angela saw,
it seems to have moved on.
(SIGHS) We might
as well do the same.
Return to Avalon and try once
more to find Manhattan.
Wait a second.
See those lights?
If that’s a town,
I can put in a call
to Matt in New York.
He’ll be able to tell Brooklyn
and the others we’re OK.
Go, Elisa. We’ll wait here.
CAPTAIN: (LAUGHS)
There you are,
a darling Nessie
for a darling little lass.
So that’s where we are,
- the most famous
loch in Scotland.
- How ’bout you?
- In the mood for
adventure, lass?
- Excuse me?
Nessie’s been known to enjoy
a midnight swim now and then.
My rates are low, and I even
throw in a free camera rental.
I’m not really
the adventuring type.
But thanks just the same.
- MATT: Hello,
this is Matt Bluestone.
-Matt! Oh, I’m so glad you--
- MATT: I’m not home
right now...
- Oh, great.
MATT: Please leave a message
after the beep and I’ll get
back to you.
ELISA: Matt, it’s Elisa,
I’m just checking in.
Tell my parents, Captain Chavez
and all my friends in Brooklyn
that me and the
big guy are fine.
We’re taking some vacation time
and I hope to be home soon.
I’ll explain everything
when I get back. Bye.
Princess Katharine
told us stories about
the Loch Ness Monster.
Oh, can’t we stay awhile?
We have to get home, Angela.
Besides, from what
I’ve seen,
what’s going on here
isn’t much of a mystery.
ANGELA: What do you mean?
Check out that boat.
For some people, monster legends
are strictly business.
CAPTAIN:
Twenty-four miles long
and a mile and a half wide,
in some places
Loch Ness is 900 feet deep.
The first sightings date
back as far as...
Oh, my gosh, I see it!
I see the monster!
It’s Nessie!
She’s coming right for us!
My guess? Nessie is just
a submarine in disguise.
All the boat companies
probably chipped in
to give the tourists a thrill.
(ALL SCREAMING)
Nessie’s out of sorts tonight,
laddies and lassies, so, ah,
we’ll be heading back
a wee bit early.
It’s a show. Theme parks
do this sort of thing
five times a day.
(ALL GASP)
(GASPING)
Angela!
(ROARING)
Bronx, stay with Elisa.
(INHALES)
(ROARS)
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
(GASPS)
She hasn’t come up yet!
Bronx, find Angela!
(BARKING)
(WATER SPLASHING)
(BUZZER SOUNDING)
SERVARIUS: Gentlemen,
I’m disappointed.
Once again, you’ve failed
to deliver Big Daddy.
Without his companionship,
I’m afraid our current guest
is not long for this world.
We almost had him.
We spotted him
attacking a tour boat,
and were moving in
when we hit interference.
SERVARIUS: I’m tired
of your excuses, Bruno.
I’ve a good mind
to send you and your team
back to Mr. Xanatos.
What kind of interference?
Gargoyles, Doc.
They were aboard
some kind of raft.
Gargoyles! You’re telling
me you sighted gargoyles
on Loch Ness?
Did you get a good look?
No. Something better.
We managed to
catch one of them
with the nets.
It’s just a small one.
SERVARIUS: My...
An adolescent female,
no less.
Strong evidence we have stumbled
onto an enduring family unit.
Standard procedure, Bruno,
but be gentle.
Extract
the customary cell samples,
then put her in the grotto.
The grotto?
She did not drown.
Angela is still alive.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Of course she is.
We find that strange vessel,
we find Angela.
A submarine requires
maintenance and supplies.
It has to have
a place to dock
somewhere around here.
GOLIATH:
Then we will keep looking
until we find this place.
No matter
how long it takes.
(GASPS)
(ROARING)
I’m Angela.
If I seem
a little nervous,
it’s because
I’ve never been this close
to a real live
Loch Ness Monster before.
But I’ll wager you’ve never
been this close to a real
live gargoyle either.
(WHIMPERING)
Guess that kind
of makes us even.
BRUNO: So her name is Angela.
If it gets any more
saccharine in there,
I’m gonna put
a finger down my throat.
SERVARIUS:
Yesterday, I had to downgrade
Nessie’s condition to critical.
The isolation during
the initial test period was
having a dire effect on her.
All the indications were
she would not survive
another 24 hours in captivity.
But tonight,
I am happy to report
a most miraculous recovery.
Her vital signs are strong
and she’s eating again.
With a little help
from her friend.
The young
gargoyle fascinates me.
If Angela does belong
to a new clan of gargoyles
as I suspect,
her DNA profile should prove
most illuminating.
No one will
bother you two here.
I’ll be back tonight
to pick up the search.
At sundown, Elisa.
We can’t afford
to waste a single moment.
I don’t intend to.
(BELL CHIMES)
Well, what do you know?
The Xanatos goon squad.
Stocking up on supplies
no less.
(ENGINE REVVING)
- (MECHANICAL WHIRRING)
- (GROWLING)
Stifle that irritating noise.
(GROANING)
(CHAINS JANGLING)
Not a heartbeat to spare.
(ROARING)
Oh, I know, I know.
How aggravating it must be
to wake up in chains
first thing in the evening.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Dr. Anton Servarius.
Oh, don’t be alarmed.
She’ll only be out
for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, young lady,
you have some explaining to do.
Bronx, you find something?
(BARKING)
SERVARIUS: To think I was ready
to believe there was an unknown
brood of gargoyles
nesting here
to protect the monsters.
Thank heaven for little girls.
- And DNA markers.
- What are you talking about?
Oh, spare me, Angela.
The tests are incontrovertible.
You not only belong
to Goliath’s clan, he’s
your biological father.
You are his very own
flesh and stone!
Goliath is my father?
(GASPS)
Not that it matters.
What...
What’re you doing to her?
SERVARIUS: It’s a sonar tag.
Now that Nessie’s condition
has stabilized,
we’re sending her
back into the loch.
Once she leads us to Big Daddy,
we’ll capture both of them.
Start a little
creature farm.
With so much rich
genetic material,
the array of monsters
I’ll be able to spawn
makes even my mind boggle.
You’re the only
monster here!
Well, I see you inherited
Papa’s short fuse.
(BUZZER SOUNDING)
And speak of the devil!
So that’s it,
an underground elevator.
But who pushed
the down button?
Somebody who knows
we’re here.
SERVARIUS: Amazing deduction,
Goliath.
I see gargoyle gray matter
is as razor-sharp as ever.
Servarius!
(ALL GASP)
SERVARIUS:
That’s Dr. Servarius to you.
They say a man’s home
is his castle.
And what fun would a castle be
without a dungeon?
Servarius,
your idea of fun would give
Dr. Frankenstein nightmares.
Your submarine abducted
a member of my clan.
I warn you, human,
if any harm comes to her...
A bit late
for fatherly concern,
don’t you think?
So let me warn you.
Angela is going with us
on an excursion into the loch.
Should you see fit to abuse
my generous hospitality...
Don’t listen to him, Goli...
Angela! (GROWLING)
Well, it sounds
like you get the idea.
It would be a pity
to lose a gargoyle,
but should Goliath become
too rambunctious...
It’d be my pleasure.
(ROARING)
Full ahead slow.
We mustn’t get too close.
(GRUNTS)
(BEEPING)
Well,
this shouldn’t take long.
I’m sure Big Daddy misses
his Nessie-Wessie.
(RUMBLING)
All right.
(CHUCKLES)
That’s as far as you get.
BRUNO: Where’s the beast?
All right,
back away from there.
(GROWLING)
(WATER GUSHING)
ELISA: The particle beam
must’ve shot clear through!
We’ll be
underwater in minutes.
How do we get out?
(STAMMERING) The mini-sub!
Hurry.
(ROARING)
Monster love. How touching.
Now how are we going to lure
them close enough to catch?
I don’t believe it.
(GASPS) There really are
Loch Ness Monsters.
And they’re heading
toward Servarius.
Zoom in.
Why not?
There’s nothing you can do.
Angela!
(ROARING)
How long before our
noble beasts are in taser range?
Thirty-five seconds.
(ROARING)
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
(GRUNTS)
(SCREECHING)
(BEEPING)
(GASPS)
(ROARS)
Release the tasers.
(BEEPS)
(GROANS)
(BEEPING)
(BEEPING ERRATICALLY)
We’re taking on
a lot of water,
but we still
have enough ballast
to make it to shore.
(GRUNTS)
Servarius! Where’s Servarius?
BRUNO: Servarius...
(ROARING)
(EXPLOSION)
Dr. Servarius has more lives
than an alley cat.
- You haven’t seen
the last of him.
- Maybe not.
But people around here
have seen the last of
these metal monsters.
Some creatures in this world
are meant to remain legends.
You should’ve seen how lost
Nessie was without Big Daddy.
I was glad when the family
got back together.
GOLIATH:
Me, too, Angela. Me, too.
