Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 39 - Sentinel - full transcript

The world tour continues on Easter Island. Elisa falls asleep as Goliath and Angela explore the island. Elisa awakens and cannot remember who she is and worse she does not recall the gargoyles. Goliath tries to help her regain her memory, but Angela and Bronx are attacked, and their attacker may hold the key to Elisa's memory

[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.

[ROARING]

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!

[NARRATOR] Previously on
Gargoyles...

[GOLIATH] Too late.
I’ll never make it
back before sunrise.

Before sunrise?

Helpless during the day.
No defense.

I don’t get it.
What happens at sunrise?

You’ll see...

[GRUNTING]

What do you think
happened to the Pack?

I’d rather not think about it.



[INSECTS CHITTERING]

[Angela] [SIGHS]
Where in the world are we?

It feels like a sauna.

[GUN SHOTS]

But it sounds
more like a war zone.

[GUN SHOTS]

A war zone indeed.

[GUNS FIRING]

Are they gargoyles?

A clan in the middle
of a rain forest?
Is that possible?

Long ago, there were clans
all over the world,

but I was not aware
any of them survived.

They still may
not survive. Look!

Jackal and Hyena.

[ANGELA] What are
they doing here?

It can’t be anything good.

There’s nothing
like the smell of new meat.

Especially when it sizzles.

[LAUGHING]

[GUNS FIRING]

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

[ZAPPING]

I hope you didn’t use
too much juice, sister.

We still have to find out how
many more of the vermin remain.

You’re the only
vermin here.

[GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

Manhattan, Egypt,
now Guatemala?

Must Goliath follow us
everywhere?

Hey, he’s a fan,

and we always make
time for our fans!

[CACKLING]

[ANGELA] Then you’ll
make time for me.

[GROWLING]

[GUN SHOT]

[GOLIATH GROWLING]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

No more free rides,
sweetheart.

[ANGELA GRUNTING]

Bad dog!

[SNARLING]

[YELPING]

Have I mentioned how much
I hate gargoyles?

We have too much money
at stake to let them
muck things up.

They get no mercy.

[GROWLING]

[GROANING]

Do not be alarmed.
We are gargoyles.

I am Goliath.

I am Zafiro. She is Obsidiana.

Thank you for your help.
You too, human.

Look, guys, Jackal and Hyena
may be down but not for long.

Elisa is right.
We cannot remain here.

The Green is safe for now.
Come with us.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[WHIMPERING]

Hyena must’ve done this.

No doubt. The abrasion is deep,
but it will heal at sunrise.

That is six hours away.

It could become
infected before then.

If only we had a first aid kit.

We have something
much better.

The pollen from this flower
will soothe his injury.

And this leaf will protect him
from infection.

[WHIMPERING IN RELIEF]

Bronx agrees.
I am impressed.

Our domain is teeming
with curative wonders.

But each time humans
cut down more trees,

such medicines
are lost forever.

[GOLIATH] Now I understand
why the forest needs
gargoyle protection.

Are there many
in your clan?

There were once, long ago.

Now we total a mere four.

You will meet the others
at the pyramid.

Pyramid?

[GASPS]

The pyramid.

[GASPS]

[OBSIDIANA] It was built
by the ancient Mayan tribe
that ruled this domain

over a thousand years ago.

The summit provides a vantage
from which we can watch over

the entire forest,
day and night.

Day and night?

It is true, Goliath.

These magic pendants
prevent the sun

from turning us to stone.

[GRUNTING]

It’s all right, Jade, Turquesa.

They’re amigos.Even the human.

Eons ago, a Mayan sorcerer
took extreme measures

to ensure the pyramid

would be guarded
around the clock.

So he forged a golden amulet
using sapphire, obsidian,

jade and turquoise
to cast a spell.

Once invoked,
the sun amulet

would forever prevent
the four pendant wearers

from turning to stone.

[ZAFIRO] One day,
three years ago,

we four returned
to discover poachers
had raided the pyramid.

The rest of the clan
had been destroyed.

And the Sun Amulet
was gone.

We share your grief.

But you still function
in daylight?

We have yet
to turn to stone.

[JADE] Though we never found out
where the amulet had gone.

We know it must
still be intact.

We are living proof.

Living proof indeed.

Hey, we’ve found their nest.
Let’s wipe ’em out.

All that toil and effort.

Why fight hard,

when it would be so much
easier to fight smart?

What are you babbling about?

-I’ll tell you on the way.
-To where?

Back to the villa.
It has a computer.

And I have a plan.

Until the sun
goes down, amigos.

Where is Zafiro
taking Elisa?

She wanted to go with him
on patrol

to see more of the forest.

She’s unusual for a human.
I like her.

[HYENA] Is this
going to take long?

How many 10th-century
Mayan sun amulets

can there be?

I’ll match the image
from the pyramid with...

Ah, bingo!

Now, where is it? Ah-ha!

Well, what do you know.

By the time
you reach the airport,

I’ll have you booked
on the next flight out.

Mmm.

First class?

Of course.

[ROARING]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[GROWLING]

[SHOUTING]

[PANTING] For a minute there,
you even had me scared.

We make it a practice
never to harm the locals,

only frighten them.

They’re farmers.

If they don’t cut down
at least a few trees,

they can’t grow food
to feed their families.

There is no such thing
as a few trees.

[HYENA]
With all the museums and
all the cities in the world,

what were the odds
that I’d end up back

in the Big Apple tonight?

It must be an omen.

[CACKLING]

Hyena was in a hurry.

Let’s find out why.

[HYENA] Well now,
the night is looking up.

Bowling for gargoyles,
anyone?

[GASPS]

Strike!

[HYENA LAUGHING]

Amulet, schmamulet.
What I came here for
won’t take long.

And since you boys
went to all the trouble
of crashing my party,

the least I can do is
make sure you have a blast.

[EXPLOSION]

[VOGEL]
Won’t you rust in there?

A waterproof sealant
was included with
our last upgrade.

I hope your sister is putting
hers to better use.

Mr. Vogel,
at this very moment,

Hyena’s in New York
tying up a loose end for you.

New York?
Cyberbiotics is paying
you two to put an end

to the gargoyle-generated
vandalism plaguing
our operations here.

And that’s exactly
what she’s doing.

[DRYER WHIRRING]

Any minute now,
Hyena will destroy
a certain amulet,

which is the gargoyles’
only means

of avoiding their stone sleep.

[JACKAL] Which means
tomorrow morning,

every Gargoyle
in the rain forest
will be at my mercy.

[EXPLOSION]

As you may recall,

our contract
with Cyberbiotics

only says we must end
the vandalism.

[DRILLING]

It doesn’t say how.

[SNICKERING]

Somehow, I doubt Mr. Renard
would have approved.

I suppose it’s fortunate
for both of us

that his illness has
left me in charge.

If you get
the desired results,

your methods are
not my concern.

Still, it’s generous of you

to give
the Gargoyles until morning,

since per your contract,

any damage they do tonight
comes out of your fee.

It’s good you’re back,
Zafiro.

Our new amigoshave
agreed to join our
defense party tonight.

Goliath, is that true?

This precious forest
can never be replaced.

It must be protected
at all costs.

Shouldn’t you find out
who legally owns the land?

The forest is not meant
to be owned.

It belongs to everyone.

Your misguided laws
threaten to steal it
from future generations.

Misguided or not,
I’m a police officer
sworn to uphold the law.

Don’t go, Goliath.
There are other ways
to protest an injustice.

In your world,
Elisa, not theirs.

And what’s left of their world
is rapidly dwindling.

I’m sorry, I can’t
be a part of this.

I understand.

You can keep watch
with Turquesa and myself.

Ever since the poachers’ raid,
two of us always remain behind

to guard the pyramid.

This way, amigos.

Whoa!

[GRUNTING]

Not that it hasn’t
been fun, boys,

but I still have a job to do.

Job? What kind of job?

She said something
about an amulet. Come on.

There it is.

One little blast.

And the gargoyles die at dawn.

Uh-oh.

[HYENA GRUNTS]

[EXPLOSION]

Still having fun, Hyena?

I see your mama never taught
you two to take a hint.

[EXPLOSION]

Leave our mothers
out of this!

Down, Angela!

[GUN FIRING]

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

[JACKAL] Hey, Gargoyles...

If a tree falls in the forest,
do I get to hear it scream?

Look out!

Beat it, guys.
I’m damage control
from here on out.

Keep an eye out for Hyena.

They usually work as a team.

I need that amulet!
Give it to me!

[HYENA GROANING]

[BROADWAY] Whoa!

Enough! First, I’ll shred
you two to pieces.

And then I’ll take care
of the magic amulet.

Broadway, catch!

Got it!

What’s so special
about this thing?

[STRUGGLING]

Let’s just say
it’ll leave a lot of Gargoyles

stone-cold dead.

No!

[GROANING]

She said it’ll leave
a lot of Gargoyles dead.

She also said it was magic.

Maybe Hyena wanted to use it
to cast an evil spell.

Then it could still fall
into the wrong hands.

We should probably
destroy it.

This madness must cease!

If you insist.

Timber!

-Got you!
-Forget me! Save the trees!

Obsidiana’s right.
We’re not his targets.

He attacks one tree
after another.

Look!

He was leading us back
to your pyramid all along.

He means
to destroy our home!

It must be Jackal
and Hyena.

Gee, what gave me away?

Hold on!

We must clear the brush
around the fire,

before the whole forest
goes up in flames.

[GRUNTING]

Perfect.
They’re so concerned with
saving their precious forest

they’ve lost
all track of time.

[SNIFFING]

[WHIMPERING]

I think we did it, guys...
Guys?

Oh, no.

[JACKAL]
Oh, yes, Detective!

I’ll deal with your clan
in a moment.

But first things first.

You don’t know how much

I’ve been looking
forward to this.

[GRUNTING]

-[SNARLING]
-Let go of me, you dumb beast.

[GROWLING]

Just a minute,
I’m sorry to interrupt,

but we can cancel
the Jackal-Hyena contract.

In fact, it may be
prudent to abandon

Cyberbiotics’ rain forest
operation entirely.

Yes, cut our losses.

Well now, if it isn’t
our old friend Hyena.

You have the right
to remain silent.

[WHIMPERING]

Sorry, boy.

But this needs to return
to its rightful owner.

[GROWLING]

-Welcome back.
-Is it over?

I doubt anyone will hire
Jackal or Hyena

to come back here again.

If only we could
as easily banish

all of those who pose
a threat to The Green.

But there are far too many
to ever fully conquer.

I just wish there was
something more we could do.

Maybe there is.

This is a long shot,
but I’m getting an idea.

They think
they can still make
a difference here.

That’s why
Zafiro and Obsidiana
are staying behind

while Jade and Turquesa
make sure

the samples
they transplant in Avalon

will grow and thrive.

I’m proud of you, Elisa.

You accomplished
a great deal today.

It’s a start. I just hope
we wake up in time.
