Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 28 - Golem - full transcript
The World Tourists arrive in Prague to find Halcyon Renard taking desperate measures to preserve his life with the use of a golem over the objections of its young controller.
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.
(SCREAM)
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!
I realize now that the hand of
fate has guided us
to every place we’ve gone
on our journey.
ELISA:
Previously onGargoyles.
We free you
from our dreadful geas.
Do as thou will...
WEIRD SISTERS:
And as thou please.
SEVARIUS: Thank heaven
for little girls.
What are you
talking about?
Oh, spare me, Angela.
You not only belong
to Goliath’s clan, he’s
your biological father.
Goliath is my father?
-(SCREAMS)
-Monstre! Monstre!
MACBETH:
We’ve known each other
for such a short while.
Why do I feel as if
we’ve already shared
a lifetime together?
(FRENCH ACCENT) You could
just be one of those
hopeless romantics
who gets taken in
by Paris and its charms,
though I’d prefer to think
it’s because we’re both
really in love.
No worries on that score.
I have so much
I want to share with you,
I hardly know
where to begin.
What’s the rush,
mon cheri?
We have all the time
in the world.
ELISA: I don’t believe this.
Of all the places Avalon
could’ve sent us,
who would’ve figured Paris!
(SIGHS) The most romantic
city in the world,
and Goliath isn’t even awake
to enjoy it with me.
Well, since you guys
are still snoozing,
I’m going sight-seeing.
ELISA:
Still plenty of time to make
the Eiffel Tower before dark.
Ooh, I should check in
with Mom and Dad.
Operator, I want to place
a person-to-person call
to Peter and Diane Maza in...
(GASPS)
Demona and Macbeth strolling
down the Champs-Elysees?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(SIGHS) Jalapeña.
I was worried, Elisa. We didn’t
know what happened to you.
You won’t believe this. Macbeth
and Demona are here in Paris.
They’ve called a truce.
I spent the day
watching them make nice.
Demona’s one of the clan.
How can she walk around
while the rest of us
turn to stone?
Thanks to sorcery, Demona
becomes human in daylight.
Well, now we know why
Avalon sent us to Paris.
If those two have joined forces,
it can only mean trouble.
But why did Avalon
send themhere?
ELISA: Good question.
Macbeth went into a chateau
on the Left Bank,
and Demona went on to Notre
Dame. That’s where I lost her.
But I know
she’s around there somewhere.
- What makes you say that?
- The evening paper.
So that’s Notre Dame Cathedral.
Isn’t it magnificent, Father?
Angela,
I’ve told you before.
You and your rookery
brothers and sisters
must look on the whole clan
as your parents.
That is the gargoyle way.
Angela dwells on
her parentage too much.
I’d rather keep her
away from Demona.
-I can sympathize, but--
-Good.
Demona has a grudge
against Elisa.
I want you to stay here
and protect her.
What? (SIGHS)
Please, Angela...
If you don’t mind.
I would feel safer.
All right. I’ll stay.
DEMONA: In here, my love...
Goliath! New York
is your protectorate.
Paris belongs to me!
Whatever you and Macbeth are
up to, I intend to stop it.
(GROANS)
DEMONA: I don’t know
how you got here,
but I’ve come too far
to let you spoil our plans now.
You’re not
leaving here alive!
Stay in the shadows
and you’ll be safe!
-Goliath needs me.
-Angela, wait!
(GROANING)
(GOLIATH GROANS)
(GROANING)
(SIGHS)
THAILOG: That’s no way
to treat a lady.
(GROANS)
Especially not
the gargoyle I love.
Thailog.
Demona is not the
Notre Dame monster. You are.
(LAUGHS)
Thailog was already here
when I arrived in Paris.
You mean the two of you?
It was love
at first flight.
Love, Demona?
You no longer know
the meaning of the word.
Hate is what
you live for now.
GOLIATH: No doubt
you’re turning Thailog
against the human race
just as you
tried to turn me.
Um, listen how he tries to
compare himself with you.
It’s jealousy,
pure and simple.
He lost my love and he can’t
stand for you to have it.
Thailog,
despite the vast knowledge
you were programmed with,
you’re still a clone,
new to this world.
Demona’s taking
advantage of that fact.
She and Macbeth
are planning something
behind your back.
My angel of the night
keeps nothing from me.
We have no secrets
from each other.
GOLIATH: Then you’re
beyond my help.
The sun will be up soon.
THAILOG: No need
to rush off, Goliath.
I’m more than willing
to share my sanctuary.
And trust Demona not to
destroy me while I sleep?
Jealous and paranoid.
Angela,
is everything OK?
Let’s get out of here.
Nightstone Unlimited. Hmm...
I like the sound of that.
The millions
you stole from Xanatos
and the treasure I’ve
hoarded over a millennium
are now incorporated.
The partners are
Mademoiselle Dominique Destine,
the mystery woman who is nowhere
to be found after dark.
And Mr. Alexander Thailog,
the reclusive financial
wizard nobody ever sees.
Won’t Macbeth
be expecting you soon?
Not until 4:00.
And afterward,
he’s dismissing the help early
so we’ll have the chateau to
ourselves for the big night.
-And what a glorious
night it will be.
-(BOTH LAUGH)
ELISA: So Demona’s spending
her nights with Thailog?
This liaison with Macbeth
is getting harder and harder
to figure.
I can’t help thinking there’s
something we’re missing.
You never told me that you and
Demona were once in love.
-You were eavesdropping?
-Is it true?
It was a very long time ago.
It doesn’t matter anymore.
It matters to me, Father.
Uh, why don’t I go work
on this Macbeth angle?
ELISA: What’s missing here?
If Thailog and Demona
are sharing the moonlight...
Maybe it’s Macbeth
that’s in the dark!
If Macbeth and Demona don’t
remember anything that happened
while they were under
the Weird Sisters’ spell,
they wouldn’t remember Avalon,
and Macbeth would have
no idea Demona transforms
into a human during the day!
This is a job
for the gargoyles.
And do you,
Dominque Destine,
take Lennox Macbeth
to be your lawfully
wedded husband,
to have and to hold
till death do you part?
I do.
My children, love can be
a fragile thing.
But it can also
be a sanctuary,
a safe haven for two hearts to
grow up and grow old together.
Congratulations.
You may kiss the bride.
MACBETH: This is
my favorite time of day.
DOMINIQUE: Mine too.
Are the servants gone?
MACBETH: It’s just
the two of us now.
And we must talk.
Dominque,
there are things about me
that you do not know...
(SIGHS) Where do I begin?
Well, if we’re going
to bare our souls...
Why don’t I go first?
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
Oh... (BREATHING HEAVILY)
What’s happening to you?
The pain...
When we’re this
close together,
mon cheri,
we feel each other’s pain.
It’s part of a magical pact
we avowed long ago.
(ROARS)
ELISA: Look alive, guys.
We’ve got work to do!
(ROARS)
Demona!
(GRUNTS)
In the flesh, mon cheri.
Did you think I’d miss out
on my own wedding night?
(LAUGHING)
Right on time, my love.
Speaking of time,
I see you didn’t
waste a moment.
Yesterday, he gave Dominque
the full tour of his sanctuary.
Including the dungeon.
How accommodating of him.
So this is the
mighty Macbeth.
Who the blazes are you?
I’m the
Monster of Notre Dame.
Though I may be relocating.
(LAUGHS)
Well, Demona, I admit
you’ve thoroughly
humiliated me.
But what is this
really about?
Haven’t you guessed?
Your new bride is about
to report you missing.
Eventually, she’ll have you
declared legally dead,
so that everything
you own becomes
the property
of your poor widow.
The only way for me to die is
for one of us to slay the other.
In which case,
both perish.
Sad but true.
I guess we’ll
just have to keep you
locked away and hidden
until the end of time.
Look out!
THAILOG:
Didn’t you search him?
Of course I did!
Not to worry.
Between the two of us,
how far can he get?
Tonight it ends, Demona.
For now and forever.
You take the west wing.
I’ll search the east.
Have a blast, you two.
(LAUGHS)
(GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
I had no doubt
we’d find you here.
Hello, Goliath.
Is that a new
gargoyle face I see?
Hmm, and a young
one at that.
Never mind her.
Where’s Demona?
Where’s Macbeth?
The newlyweds
seem to be having
a difference of opinion.
I thought it best
not to take sides.
Newlyweds? It sounds like
they’re killing each other
down there.
I sincerely hope so.
But I thought Demona
meant something to you.
She means a great deal.
If Macbeth dies,
Demona inherits his estate.
But if Demona dies, too...
Everything in her name
reverts to her sole
business partner, me.
(GROWLS)
By all estimates,
my new combined wealth
should put me on equal footing
with Xanatos.
That isn’t going to happen.
I won’t let it happen.
You and what clan?
(GRUNTS)
(BRONX SNARLING)
(GRUNTING)
Well, aren’t you spunky?
(GROANS)
Teamwork is so overrated.
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
You learn fast.
(CREAKS)
(WATER SPLASHING)
(GROWLS)
(GROANS)
(THAILOG GROWLS)
I’m with you, Goliath!
(DEMONA SCREECHING)
Stop it! Don’t you see this is
just what Thailog wants!
If you two
destroy each other,
you’re playing
right into his claws!
(GROANS)
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
What are you
waiting for, Demona?
Do it!
Put us out of our misery!
No! No!
Drop it, Demona!
(GROANS)
(GROANING)
Ah, man, I hope this works.
(GRUNTING)
Shh! Goliath, listen!
Silence.
That doesn’t bode well
for Macbeth and Demona.
Well, my work here is done.
I enjoyed
the exercise, Goliath.
We must do this
again some time.
Very foolish, Detective.
The spell that
links Demona and myself
makes it impossible
for us to die
by anyone else’s hands
but our own.
I was counting on that.
Killing Demona temporarily
was the only way
to keep you two from doing
yourselves in permanently.
You should thank her, Macbeth.
Elisa saved your life.
A sad, endless existence
I’m doomed to face alone.
You may have been
a victim of Demona’s
treachery and deceit,
but in a strange way,
she’s done you a favor.
At least now you know
you’re capable of love...
The kind of love
that makes life worthwhile.
Search for
that love, Macbeth.
She’s out there.
Just make sure that
next time you get a good
look at her at night.
(DEMONA GROANS)
Who are you?
Forget them, Night Angel,
the evening’s a wash.
But we still
have each other.
How can she still believe
Thailog cares for her?
Love can be blind.
Yes, it can.
It’s true, isn’t it?
Demona is my mother.
Elisa, I have to know.
Yes, it’s true.
