Gargoyles (1994–1996): Season 2, Episode 9 - City of Stone: Part 1 - full transcript
Demona promises to make Xanatos immortal by sharing a spell that has kept her young for the past few centuries. But she lied, and casts a different spell. You'll start to learn about Demona's past, and her relationship with MacBeth.
[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.
[GUTTURAL SCREAM]
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!
[DEEP GROWL]
WE ARE DEFENDERS OF THE NIGHT.
WE ARE GARGOYLES!
HUMANITY IS OUR ENEMY,
GOLIATH.
[LEXINGTON]
PREVIOUSLY ONGARGOYLES...
[MACBETH]
I’M CALLED MACBETH.
-I WANT YOUR QUEEN.
-QUEEN? WE HAVE NO QUEEN.
NO?
WHAT ABOUT DEMONA?
-YOU KNOW DEMONA?
-KNOW HER?
[LAUGHS]
I NAMED HER.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
THIS HAS BEEN GOIN’ ON
ALL DAY. WE SHOULD GO IN.
UH-UH. THEY GOT CONFIRMED
ID’S ON THE HOSTAGES.
CAPTAIN SAYS KEEP TRYING.
IT’S GETTING LATE.
TIRED PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES.
LET’S STOP RIGHT HERE
BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT.
WE WILL NEVER GIVE IN.
OUR CAUSE IS WORTH ANY
SACRIFICE.
YOU THINK THEY’RE STARTING TO
SEE IT OUR WAY?
NOT YET, BUT THEY WILL.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO US?
IF OUR DEMANDS ARE MET,
NOTHING. IF NOT...
-PLEASE, JUST LET US GO.
-IT’LL BE OVER SOON.
[GASPS] [SHOUTS]
[GROWLS]
IT-IT’S A MONSTER.
SHOOT IT.
[GROWLS]
STAY BACK!
DON’T HURT ME.
YOU HAVE MORE TO FEAR
FROM YOUR OWN COWARDICE
THAN FROM ME.
RELAX, FOLKS.
YOU’RE SAFE NOW.
-GET AWAY!
-DON’T COME NEAR ME.
DON’T GUSH ALL OVER US, OK?
IT’S KIND OF EMBARRASSING.
WE WILL GO NOW.
THE POLICE CAN DEAL WITH THEM.
THE CAUSE IS EVERYTHING
UNTIL HER OWN LIFE IS
THREATENED.
STILL, IT’S GOOD THAT YOU
SAVED HER.
IF YOU FORGET WHAT
SHE’S FORGOTTEN, THAT
EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS,
THEN YOU’LL BE NO DIFFERENT
FROM HER.
I’LL NEVER BE LIKE THIS
TERRORIST.
-WE WERE NOT TALKING
ABOUT THISTERRORIST.
-[WIND WHOOSHING]
-THE CHILDREN!
WHERE DID THEY GO?
-WHAT CHILDREN?
OH, COME ON. THEY WERE
RIGHT HERE A SECOND AGO.
PLEASE, THERE WERE
NO CHILDREN HERE.
IF THERE WERE NO CHILDREN,
THEN WHAT DID WE SEE?
[LOW GRUMBLE]
AND WHO WERE THEY
TALKING ABOUT?
THOSE VIKINGS MAY RETURN
AT DAYBREAK, GOLIATH.
I SAY TAKE ALL YOUR GARGOYLES
AND MAKE SURE THEY’RE GONE.
I AGREE. LET US GO OUT IN FORCE
AND PUT AN END
TO THESE PIGS
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
TOO DANGEROUS.
I DON’T WANT THE CASTLE LEFT
UNPROTECTED.
THEIR LEADER SWORE
HE’D BE BACK.
IT’S BEST TO HURRY THEM FAR AWAY
NOW AND NOT TAKE THAT CHANCE.
[GROANING]
VERY WELL,
BUT I SHALL DO IT.
I CAN SCARE THOSE COWARDS AWAY
WITHOUT ANY HELP.
THAT’S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU.
LET ME COME ALONG AT LEAST.
YOU AND THE OTHERS WILL STAY
WITH THE CASTLE.
YOU ARE MY BEST WARRIOR.
I LEAVE YOU IN COMMAND.
-NO, I CANNOT LET YOU.
-I WON’T GO ALONE.
REMEMBER, YOU AND I ARE ONE,
NOW AND FOREVER.
THIS RUINS EVERYTHING.
THE PLAN WAS TO HAVE
ALL THE GARGOYLES AWAY
DURING THE ATTACK,
SO WE COULD RETURN
TO CLAIM AN EMPTY CASTLE.
THE PLAN CAN STILL WORK
I’LL SIGNAL HAKON,
TELL HIM TO ATTACK
DURING THE DAY.
THE HUMANS WILL
STILL BE TAKEN.
FOOL! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?
GARGOYLES ARE STONE BY DAY.
WE’LL BE HELPLESS.
NOT WHILE I’M ABOUT. I SWEAR,
I’LL KEEP YOUR CLAN SAFE.
LISTEN, QUICKLY.
THERE’S SOMETHING...
[SIGHS]
NEVER MIND.
IT’S NOTHING.
[GASPS]
ATTACK!
[SHOUTING]
[STONE CRUMBLING]
[ROARS]
IT WORKED.
AT LAST, MY CLAN IS FREE OF
HUMAN RULE.
WHERE ARE THEY?
BROTHERS?
SISTERS?
[GASPS] NO.
NO!
[SOBBING]
GOLIATH.
I CAN’T FACE HIM. NOT YET.
MY...
ANGEL OF THE NIGHT.
[ROARS]
I’LL COME BACK LATER,
SAY I WAS SEEKING HIM.
HE’LL BE SO GLAD
THAT I’M ALIVE.
STONE? AT NIGHT?
HOW CAN THIS BE?
OH, MY LOVE.
WHAT HAVE I...
-WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?
-[HORSE NEIGHS]
[SIGHS]
IT’S ALWAYS, "GILLECOMGAIN,
MILK THE COWS.
GILLECOMGAIN,
CHECK THE STABLES."
[NEIGHING]
[SNARL]
WHO’S THERE?
-SHOW YOURSELF, YOU THIEF!
-[ROARS]
AGH! MY FACE!
THAT’LL TEACH YOU HUMANS TO
BETRAY US.
-[OWEN] EVERYTHING IS READY.
-IT HAD BETTER BE.
RELAX, THIS IS
STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT.
WE CAN OVERRIDE EVERY
BROADCAST CHANNEL IN MANHATTAN.
CABLE AS WELL.
YOU HAVE, I TRUST...
KEPT YOUR END OF THE BARGAIN?
THIS IS HOW I’VE LIVED ALL
THESE YEARS.
A SPELL STOLEN
FROM THE GRIMORUM ARCANORUM.
WITH IT, WE CAN STEAL ONE MINUTE
OF LIFE FROM EVERY PERSON
WHO SEES AND HEARS THE SPELL.
ADD IT UP AND IT EQUALS
CENTURIES OF TIME.
EVEN WHEN SHARED BETWEEN US.
WE WILL BROADCAST THROUGHOUT THE
DAY, ENDING AT SUNDOWN TOMORROW.
YOU SHOULD RETURN THEN,
XANATOS.
BE CAREFUL. EITHER WATCH
OR LISTEN TO HER, NOT BOTH.
OF COURSE.
"OMNES CONSPECTI.
OMNES AUDITI.
IN NOCTE USQUE.
AD SAXUM COMMUTATE."
STOP! THIS IS NOT
THE SPELL YOU...
AH!
"DUM CAELUM ARDEAT."
[GRUNTS HELPLESSLY]
YOU ARE THE TRICKY ONE, SO WE’LL
JUST MAKE SURE YOU STAY PUT.
OMNES CONSPECTI.
OMNES AUDITI.
IN NOCTE USQUE.
AD SAXUM COMMUTATE.
OK, CAGNEY, I’M OUT OF HERE.
[STATIC] ...SPECTI.
-OMNES AUDITI.
-DEMONA?
IN NOCTE USQUE.
-AD SAXUM COMMUTATE.
-IT’S ON EVERY CHANNEL.
DUM CAELUM ARDEAT.
[SIRENS WAIL]
ISN’T THIS EXCITING, LUNA?
IT BEGINS AGAIN.
CONCENTRATE, SISTER,
OR IT WILL END HERE AS WELL.
PHOEBE, SELINE,
HAVE PATIENCE.
WE HAVE WAITED 975 YEARS.
WE CAN WAIT A LITTLE LONGER.
OMNES CONSPECTI.
-MAYBE THEY WON’T
COME THIS TIME.
-[DISTANT ROAR]
[EERIE GROWLING]
[ROARS]
[ALL] AH!
FILTHY BEASTS!
THE HUNTER WILL WIPE
YOUR THIEVING KIND OFF
THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!
NOT WHILE I LIVE.
[SCREAMING]
[SILENCE]
[CHEWING]
I’M TIRED OF STARVING AND SICK
OF ACTING LIKE A COMMON THIEF.
I DON’T SEE WHY WE JUST CAN’T
MAKE PEACE WITH THE HUMANS.
DO YOU THINK THE HUMANS
WANT PEACE?
WE ARE ALL THAT ARE LEFT
OF OUR KIND IN THIS WORLD.
AND THE HUNTER
BEGRUDGES EACH OF US OUR LIVES.
I WILL NOT LET HIM WIN.
WE BRING WORD OF THE HUNTER.
I DO NOT KNOW YOU,
BUT YOU ARE WELCOME AMONG US.
GIVE ME YOUR NEWS.
HE STALKS A NEW HUMAN TARGET
AT CASTLE MORAY.
IF YOU AND CLAN MORAY
ALLY AGAINST YOUR COMMON ENEMY,
YOU CAN DEFEAT THE HUNTER.
I NEED NO HUMAN ALLIES.
LET THE HUNTER STRIKE
AT HIS TARGET.
FOR, AS HE DOES,
HE BECOMES THE PREY.
MY PREY.
-CHECKMATE, MILORD.
-WHAT?
[LAUGHS]
AH, GRUOCH,
YOU’RE A CLEVER LASS.
AND QUITE A BEAUTY.
HEY, BODHE, YOU SHOULD
BE PROUD OF YOUR DAUGHTER.
YOU ARE TOO KIND,
LORD FINDLAECH.
BUT WHAT ABOUT
YOUNG MACBETH HERE?
IS HE A MATCH FOR THE LASS?
COME HERE, SON. SHOW OUR
GUESTS HOW WELL YOU PLAY
AHA! AND SEE TO IT
YOU DO BETTER THAN
YOUR FATHER JUST DID.
UM... YES, SIR.
[CLEARS THROAT]
MILADY.
AYE, MACBETH IS A GOOD BOY,
A SIGHT MORE STEADY THAN HIS
COUSIN, PRINCE DUNCAN.
AYE, IT’S A FACT THAT DUNCAN
WILL RULE.
BUT A QUESTION AS TO HOW WELL.
HE’S YOUNG YET.
THE WEIGHT OF A CROWN
SHOULD SETTLE HIM A BIT.
AYE, ONE WOULD HOPE.
BUT HE WILL BE OUR KING, FOR
WELL OR ILL.
AND BY THE SIGIL OF MORAY,
FINDLAECH PLEDGES HIS LOYALTY.
BUT ENOUGH TALK FOR TONIGHT,
OLD FRIEND.
IT’S TIME I SAW GRUOCH UP
TO HER BED.
[LAUGHS]
OF COURSE, OF COURSE.
MACBETH, SEE OUR GUESTS
TO THEIR CHAMBERS AND
RETURN STRAIGHT AWAY.
WRETCHED KITCHEN LAD. PROBABLY
NAPPING BY THE STOVE AGAIN.
-[DOOR OPENS]
- THERE YOU ARE.
GET TO WORK, LADDIE, OR I’LL--
[GASPS]
GUARDS! GUARDS!
YOU ARE THE HUNTER.
I KNOW THAT.
BUT WHO SENT YOU
TO HUNT ME?
SPEAK, CURSE YOU.
[SWORD CLANGING]
FATHER!
HERE, FATHER.
[FINDLAECH] NO!
MACBETH!
-[GASPS]
-DAUGHTER, NO!
IT’S TOO DANGEROUS.
NO!
FATHER!
NO, PLEASE!
NOW I HAVE YOU.
[HUNTER] NOW I’LL FINALLY
HAVE MY REVENGE.
[GRUNTS]
[CLANGS LOUDLY]
MURDERER!
-ARGH!
-NO!
KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO BE HUNTED, HUMAN.
AND KNOW THAT IT IS THE LAST
THING YOU WILL EVER FEEL.
MACBETH.
[GRUNTS]
-[GRUNTS]
-THANK YOU.
[HOWLS]
[SIGHS]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
-PRINCE DUNCAN.
-AT LAST.
WHAT NEWS OF CLAN MORAY,
GILLECOMGAIN?
FINDLAECH, HIGH STEWARD
OF MORAY, IS DEAD,
AS YOU COMMANDED.
AND MACBETH?
- HE LIVES.
-OH, NO MATTER.
FINDLAECH WAS WELL LOVED.
WITH HIS SUPPORT, HIS SON
COULD HAVE BECOME KING.
BUT WITHOUT HIS FATHER,
COUSIN MACBETH IS JUST
ANOTHER POOR RELATION.
BRING FOOD AND DRINK.
THIS IS CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION.
YOU HAVE DONE WELL, MY HUNTER.
YOUR REWARD IS
THE STEWARDSHIP OF MORAY.
[DEMONA] OMNES CONSPECTI.
OMNES AUDITI.
IN NOCTE USQUE.
AD...
HEY, PARTNER,
WHAT’S THE RUSH?
-NO TIME TO TALK, MATT.
-OH, I’LL SAY.
THE PHONE’S HAVE BEEN
JAMMED WITH COMPLAINTS
ABOUT THAT WEIRD BROADCAST.
HOW ABOUT, UH, HELPING US OUT
WITH THEM?
IN A MINUTE, OK.
-PACK MEDIA STUDIOS?
-OF COURSE.
TAKE IT FROM A PROFESSIONAL,
DAVID.
THAT DEMONA BROADCAST
ISN’T EXACTLY RIVETING TV.
I WOULDN’T KNOW.
I DIDN’T WATCH IT
AND I TOLD YOU
NOT TO WATCH IT EITHER.
-WHAT CAN I SAY? I WAS CURIOUS.
-[PHONE RINGS]
WAIT, SOMEONE’S CALLING.
MR XANATOS, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
DEMONA LIED TO US.
THE SPELL SHE CAST
WAS NOT WHAT SHE SAID IT WAS.
[GRUNTS]
