Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 5 - The Mirror - full transcript

[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.

RRRRR!

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.

[BROADWAY] PREVIOUSLY ON
GARGOYLES...

HUMANITY IS OUR ENEMY,
GOLIATH.

UNH!

[GASPS]

YOU'VE WON...

THIS TIME.

NO!

O.K., FRONT DOOR'S LOCKED,



ALL OF THE LASER GRIDS
ARE ON,

YOU GO ON INSIDE.

AND DON'T GET TOO CLOSE
TO THE DISPLAYS.

[SNARLING]

UNH!

[GROWL]

HALT, POLICE!

YOU!

MOST USELESS MEMBER

OF A CRAVEN, PUNY RACE.

YOU THINK YOU CAN STOP ME?

[GOLIATH] POSSIBLY NOT.

BUT I CAN.

[BOTH GRUNT]

I'LL SAY ONE THING
FOR THE LADY.

SHE DOES HER HOMEWORK.

LET'S GO.

[COCKS GUN]

OHH!

[SCREECHING]

LET HER GO
FOR NOW.

IT'S NOT LIKE
WE COULD TAKE HER TO JAIL

WITHOUT ANSWERING A LOT
OF COMPLICATED QUESTIONS.

AT LEAST DEMONA
DIDN'T GET
THE MIRROR.

[BUZZER]

[WOMAN] YES?

OBERON SENT ME.

WHO LIVES HERE,
ANYWAY--

DRACULA'S
DAUGHTER?

[SNARLING]

RELAX, IT'S O.K.

I'VE DONE THIS
BEFORE.

[DEMONA]
TAKE YOUR MONEY
AND GO...

WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

SO FAR MY PLANS HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN THWARTED,

ONE AFTER THE OTHER,

BUT TONIGHT

ITAKE CONTROL.

[RINGING]

CUM ISKERAT ARKENTUM...

ET AUM IN VOLARE.

PASTEA POC AD SPECULUM.

TITANIA...

PENETRARE.

[ELISA]
WELL, CAPTAIN CHAVEZ
JUST CONFIRMED IT.

DEMONA WAS A DECOY.

THIEVES TOOK THE MIRROR

WHILE WE WERE CHASING HER
AROUND THE PARK.

I SHOULD'VE EXPECTED
SUCH DEVIOUSNESS
FROM HER.

SO... HOW BAD IS THIS?

WHAT CAN SHE DO
WITH AN ANTIQUE MIRROR?

IT'S NOT JUST A MIRROR,
LASS.

IT'S TITANIA'S MIRROR.

TITANIA...

QUEEN OF THE THIRD RACE.

-THIRD RACE?
-YOU KNOW...

GARGOYLES, HUMANS,
AND OBERON'S CHILDREN.

I THOUGHT EVERYBODY
KNEW THIS.

YEAH. THAT GUY SHAKESPEARE
WROTE A PLAY ABOUT THEM--

A MIDSUMMER
NIGHT'S DREAM.

SCOTSMEN CALL THEM
THE FAIR FOLK.

THE VIKINGS CALL THEM
DARK ELVES.

THEY ARE CHANGELINGS,

SHAPE SHIFTERS,

CREATURES OF PURE MAGIC.

AND THEIR POSSESSIONS,

LIKE THE MIRROR,

ARE VESSELS
OF GREAT POWER.

HA HA. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

SHAPE SHIFTERS,
ELVES, FAIRIES--

YOU MEAN THEY'RE REAL?

AS REAL AS I AM...

IF THE STORIES BE TRUE.

IS THIS HOW YOU WELCOME
ALL OF YOUR GUESTS?

ANY WHO MIGHT
TURN ON ME.

AND YOU'RE NOT A GUEST.

YOU SERVE THE HUMAN.
NOW YOU CAN SERVE ME.

SERVING HUMANS IS FUN.

THEY HAVE
A SENSE OF HUMOR.

YOU HAVE NONE.

PERHAPS NOT, PUCK...

BUT I HAVE YOU.

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT
TO BE A SHAPE SHIFTER?

WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO HIDE.

WE COULD FIT IN ANYWHERE.

WE COULD FIND NEW FRIENDS,
MAYBE EVEN...LOVE.

BE CAREFUL WHAT
YOU WISH FOR, LAD.

WELL, LET'S JUST GET THIS
OVER WITH, SHALL WE?

HOW CAN I BE OF SERVICE?
HMM?

OUT WITH IT.
I HAVEN'T GOT ALL NIGHT.

YOU'VE GOT ALL MILLENNIUM,
IF I CHOOSE.

I'M TOO VULNERABLE
DURING THE DAY.

I DON'T WANT TO TURN
TO STONE ANYMORE.

OF COURSE,
YOU WANT TO STROLL DOWN

5th AVENUE
IN THE SUNSHINE.

I'M SURE YOU'LL FIT RIGHT IN.

I COULD IF THERE WERE
NO BLASTED HUMANS!

YES, PUCK...

I WANT YOU TO GET RID
OF THE HUMANS.

ALL OF THEM.

DOES THIS LOOK
LIKE ALADDIN'S LAMP?

I HAVE LIMITS AFTER ALL.

WHAT IS IT
YOU REALLYWANT?

HOW QUAINT.

AFTER ALL THESE CENTURIES,

YOU'RE STILL
CARRYING A TORCH.

WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT,

I CAN MAKE HIM
LOVE YOU AGAIN.

PIECE OF CAKE,

GIVEN YOUR CHARMING
PERSONALITY.

THAT'S IT!

THAT'S WHAT I WANT!

IF YOU CANNOT GET RID
OF ALL THE HUMANS,

THEN AT LEAST RID ME
OF THATHUMAN.

ELISA MAZA!

DID YOU SAY THATHUMAN,
OR THAT HUMAN?

OH, NEVER MIND.
I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

THIS JUST MIGHT
BE FUN, AFTER ALL.

THY SIGHT
DEMONA DOTH OFFEND,

SO PUCK WILL HASTEN
TO AMEND.

BEGONE, ELISA,
HUMAN BORN,

AND BE NO MORE
AS YOU WERE FORMED.

MIRROR OR NO MIRROR,

DEMONA'S NO MATCH
FOR US TOGETHER.

WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL SHE MAKES HER MOVE.

-[WHIMPERING]
-ELISA!

OH, BOY!

WHOA!

-ELISA...
-WHAT HAPPENED?

GOLIATH!

THIS IS WONDERFUL!

YOU'VE BEEN CHANGED
INTO A GARGOYLE.

WHAT?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

THE HUMAN, ELISA MAZA,
IS NO MORE.

THEN LET'S DO THE SAME
TO EVERY HUMAN
IN THE CITY!

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

BELIEVE ME.

CAN IT BE DONE?

TELL ME THE TRUTH!

YES...

BUT NOT FROM HERE.

WE'VE ALWAYS
BEEN GARGOYLES.

YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO'S BEEN CHANGED,

PROBABLY BY DEMONA
AND THE MIRROR.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN
A GARGOYLE.

I THINK I'D KNOW
IF I WASN'T.

HOW DID WE FIRST MEET?

I FELL OFF A SKYSCRAPER,

AND YOU GLIDED DOWN
AND CAUGHT ME.

THINK--IF YOU'VE
ALWAYS HAD WINGS,

WHY DID YOU NEED ME
TO CATCH YOU?

UH, I CAN'T GLIDE
WITH THESE.

CAN I?

YES...YOU CAN.

OH!

OHH!

AHH...

WHAT A LOVELY VIEW.

THAT'S NOT WHY
I BROUGHT YOU HERE.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

I'VE GOT TO MARSHAL
MY FORCES, SO TO SPEAK.

THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE.

I NEVER REALIZED,
WHEN YOU WERE HUMAN,

HOW...BEAUTIFUL
YOU ARE.

YOU MEAN,
YOU THOUGHT I WAS UGLY?

WELL, UH...

CAREFUL! UPDRAFT!

HA HA!

WHY HAVEN'T
I DONE THIS BEFORE?

YOU COULDN'T.
YOU WERE HUMAN.

LOOK.

OH, NO! LOOK AT THEM!

MAYBE WE SHOULD
LAND SOMEWHERE
AND TALK.

DID YOU SEE?

EVERYONE IN MANHATTAN'S
BEEN TURNED

INTO A HUMAN!

NO, NO, NO...

LOOK!

ALL HUMANS
ON THIS CONCRETE ISLE,

DEMONA FINDS
YOUR PRESENCE VILE.

SO DO YOU NOW
AS I COMMAND

AND BE NOT WOMAN,
CHILD, NOR MAN!

WHAT WAS THAT?

IT CAN ONLY BE DEMONA.

WAIT!

OH!

UHH!

TAKE ME TO SEE
MY EMPTY CITY.

DAAA!

[SNARL]

YOU'RE TOO LATE THIS TIME,
OLD SOLDIER.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT
ALL OF US, LASS.

CURSE YOU, PUCK.
THIS IS NO TIME TO SLEEP.

THE MIRROR!

WHAT?

THIS IS LIKE TRYING TO FIND
A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.

IT'S TOO WEIRD.

KINDA FUN...

BUT WEIRD.

WITH DEMONA INVOLVED,
IT'S MORE THAN WEIRD.

IT'S DANGEROUS.

I WANTED YOU TO DESTROY
THE HUMANS,

NOT GIVE THEM THE GIFT
OF BEING A GARGOYLE.

CHANGE THE GARGOYLES
TO HUMANS.

I MUST REGAIN MY STRENGTH.

I HAVE NOTICED
YOU'RE NOT TOO TIRED

TO MAKE YOURSELF
INVISIBLE TO THE CROWD.

OKAY, OKAY, I WAS JUST
CATCHING MY BREATH.

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL DO EXACTLY
AS YOU ASK.

ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT THE MIRROR.
NOW WHAT?

THAT WAS ONE OF OBERON'S
CHILDREN WITH DEMONA.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

AH... SHE CALLED HIM PUCK.

IN SHAKESPEARE'S PLAY,
PUCK WAS A HARMLESS
TRICKSTER.

WHAT HAPPENED BELOW
WASN'T HARMLESS.

COME, WE MUST CONTINUE
OUR SEARCH FOR THEM.

I'LL NEVER GET THE HANG
OF JUMPING OFF ROOFTOPS.

I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE
TO CATCH YOU.

SEE?

IT'S EASY.

-AGG!
-AGG!

-AGG!
-AGG!

AAH!

AAH!

GOLIATH!

UHH!

WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE
JUMPING OUT FROM THIS THING.

A LIGHT BLINDED ME,
AND THEN I FELL.

I'VE NEVER FALLEN BEFORE.

ELISA, YOU'VE CHANGED
BACK TO NORMAL.

NO, I HAVEN'T.
YOU'VE CHANGED.

YOU'RE A HUMAN.

YOU FELL BECAUSE YOU
DON'T HAVE WINGS.

ELISA, WE'VE ALWAYS
BEEN HUMAN.

AYE, WE'VE
NEVER NEEDED WINGS
TO GLIDE BEFORE.

UH, WAIT A MINUTE.

WE MUST'VE USED WINGS.

HOW ELSE COULD WE GLIDE?

ELISA'S RIGHT.

WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE GARGOYLES,
AND WE'RE NOT.

EVERYONE ELSE
SHOULD BE HUMAN.

BUT THANKS TO DEMONA
AND PUCK,

THEY'RE NOT.

IS IT DONE?

AHH...YES.

AAH!

HA HA HA HA.

I TOLD YOU TO TURN
THE GARGOYLES TO HUMANS.

OH, YOU MEANT THESE GARGOYLES.

I THOUGHT YOU MEANT
GOLIATH AND HIS CLAN.

MY MISTAKE.

YOUR LAST MISTAKE.

HOLD ON.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE PLEASED.

GOLIATH IS
A PUNY HUMAN NOW...

AND AT YOUR MERCY.

HUMANS!

LOOK OUT! RUN! RUN!

HUMANS, LOOK OUT!

ARE YOU SURE
THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?

DEMONA MUST'VE DONE THIS
TO MAKE US VULNERABLE
TO HER ATTACK.

OUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO KEEP THE
BATTLE HERE ON THE GROUND

WHERE HER WINGS
WILL BE OF NO USE.

UNWRAP THE MIRROR.

I WOULD KNOW YOU
NO MATTER WHAT
YOUR FORM, GOLIATH.

TAKE CARE OF THEM, PUCK.

AS YOU WISH.

HUMANS LOVE A BATTLE HEARTY,
SO DOES PUCK.

COME ON, LET'S PARTY.

UNH! UHN!

AGGH!

[GRUNTING]

[GRRR]

LET'S IMPROVE YOUR LOT.

OH, SHOULD'VE TRIED
THE CHIHUAHUA.

AH...

NOW TO END THIS FARCE.

-UH!
-UNH!

HEY, THOSE MONSTERS ARE
ATTACKING THAT WOMAN!

SHE NEEDS HELP!

[SHOUTING]

WAIT! STOP!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR ME
AS A PITIFUL HUMAN.

MY STRENGTH HAS
NEVER DEPENDED ON
BRUTE FORCE, DEMONA.

BUT ON TRUE FRIENDS.

NO WAY WE CAN TAKE 'EM.

HEY, WE'RE THE MONSTERS,
REMEMBER? SO...

[ALL GROWLING]

-OH!
-NO!

AAH!

WHO ARE YOU
TO INTERFERE WITH...

YOU! WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO DESTROY YOU?

-OHH!
-GOLIATH, RUN!

I'LL HANDLE DEMONA.

WE'LL HANDLE HER
TOGETHER.

AAH!

[SNARLING]

PARTY'S OVER.

[GOLIATH] IT ENDS NOW, PUCK.

CHANGE EVERYONE BACK
TO THE WAY THEY WERE

BEFORE DEMONA SUMMONED YOU.

DO IT.

AND YOU WIN YOUR FREEDOM.

IT WILL BE
MY PLEASURE.

BUT AFTERWARDS,

I'M GOING TO NEED
A VERY LONG NAP.

FIRST, THE HUMANS
I'LL ATTEND...

THEN THE GARGOYLES
WILL I MEND.

IF HIS EFFORTS
YOU COMMEND,

FREE PUCK, LET HIM
HOMEWARD WEND.

YOU'RE FREE.

THAT WAS A ROMP INDEED.

SPARE ME YOUR GLOATING.
JUST GO.

WITHOUT GIVING YOU
SOMETHING IN RETURN
FOR ALL THIS MERRIMENT?

PUCK IS MANY THINGS,
BUT NEVER A POOR GUEST.

PLEASE...LEAVE.

YOU WANTED TO BE
YOUR GARGOYLE SELF
BY NIGHT,

BUT NOT STONE BY DAY?

SO BE IT.

FEARSOME CREATURE,
WHO WOULD STAY

UNCHANGED BY THE LIGHT
OF DAY,

REMAIN YOU THUS
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT

AND BE THOU FLESH
BY DAWN'S FAIR LIGHT.

[GROWLING]

IT'S ALMOST DAWN.

I WOULD'VE LIKED
TO HAVE SEEN THE SUN...

JUST ONCE.

ELISA, I...

YEAH, I KNOW.

YOU'RE AS RELIEVED
AS I AM

THAT THINGS ARE BACK
TO NORMAL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
I WAS GOING TO SAY.

I KNOW...

BUT THAT'S
THE WAY IT IS.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

HE ACTUALLY DID IT.

AND THE SUN IS SO WARM.

I NEVER DREAMED
IT WOULD FEEL THIS GOOD.

NOOO!
