NightMan (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 19 - Gore - full transcript
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, sweetie. We'’re home.
CARL: It'’s about time
you showed up.
Surprised to see me?
Told you I could
find you anywhere.
Just leave us be,
Carl, please.
How many times do I have
to beat it through that
thick little head of yours?
The only way
you'’re leaving me
is in a body bag.
Carl, don'’t do this.
The children.Will forget all about you.
Who the hell are you?
Leave the woman alone.
[GRUNTS]
[GROWLS]
Call the police.
They'’ll help you from here.
I will.
REPORTER: ...Slade himself
was convicted last month
in the brutal killing of two government protected witnesses.
Slade.
Yeah. They think
the government'’s
gonna offer him a deal
to testify against those
four federal agents, his,
uh,"co-conspirators."
Yeah.
Man, he is one ugly guy.
Just glad he'’s off the street.
When I see Slade now,
he looks positively primitive
compared to you, Gore.
[CHUCKLING]
Gore... is magnificent.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
MAN ON TV: Bombs raid upon
the metropolitan center
in a relentless downpour.
A deluge of death
might have dawned.
The death toll, including men, women and children, has climbed into the hundreds of thousands.
They'’ve decided to send
a powerful message
to the enemy.
General, sir.Shh.
MAN ON TV: Followed by
air command'’s strategic
bombing campaign,
the war will continue to rage,
bringing death and suffering
to friend and foe alike
but free more...
Good old days.
You'’re watching
the War Channel, with your host, Cassius Johnson.
We'’ll see you next time.
SOLDIER: Ah, sir.
I believe I have
some bad news.
Have you been watching
anything just a little
more current, sir?
What are you talking about?
Our little problem sir,
Operation Invincible.
Our, watch shall
we call it, sir, mistake.
Doctor Madden'’s mistake
you mean.
His screw-up.
Not ours.
Yes, well,
the doctor'’s"screw-up"
has been apprehended
and offered a deal to testify
against four federal agents.
If he does, sir,
they will tie Slade to us
in a heartbeat.
No civilian authority
is allowed to know
of our presence.
And there will be
no testimony from our...
Dr. Madden'’s folly.
Yes, sir.
Well, how do
we stop it, sir?
He is in police custody.
We get him out of
police custody.
Bulletin from Madden.
Operation Recall is ready.
[CHUCKLES] Oh. Well,
that'’s a very lucky break, sir.
[SHOUTS] Oh,
you call it luck?
No, sir.
Been driving Madden
round the clock
ever since his so-called
"super soldier" malfunctioned.
DADE: The agency'’s
breathing down my neck.
when the agency'’s doing that,I think the agency'’s
gonna be impressed
You can rest assured
that they'’re...You can rest assured...
that the agency
is going to love this.
Colonel Dade. This is Gore.
He'’s a magnificent achievement.
Gore is magnificent.
His hearing is
extremely acute,
along with everything else.
Why is he smiling?
I concentrated on his
physical perfection
so his personality
and speech modules
aren'’t fully programmed.
But they'’re capable
of learning quickly.
At the moment,
Gore is rather child-like
in those two areas
with what one might call
a "pleasing disposition."
Agency is looking for
deadly force, doctor.
If this is another one
of your screw-ups,
I can assure you
that there is nothing
wrong with Gore.
He'’s absolutely ruthless.
Gore is ruthless.
[GROWLS]
This is very
unsettling, doctor.
Colonel,
isn'’t it more effective
to have someone who can...
insinuate himself into
a situation graciously?
Before he wreaks havoc
and kills?
I don'’t think the general's
gonna like this, doctor.
I don'’t think the general's
gonna like it at all.
[SIREN WAILS]
SLADE: Hey, Red.
Did you come to
bail me out?
COP: Come on, Slade.
GORE: Excuse me.
You look, just...
[PUNCHES THUDDING]
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Hey, you.
Let'’s see a visitor's pass.
How'’d you get in
the building, huh?
Let'’s see some ID.
[GASPING]
Who are you?
What'’s your relationship
to the man you'’re following?
Evil twin.
I smell bacon.
[SNIFFS]
Or something
like pork product.
[GRUNTS]
COP: Come on.
Get off me.
That'’s my bike.
Look, I'’m telling you, I know
what my bike sounds like.
That'’s my bike.
SLADE: There he is now!
Look at that geek.
Hey. That guy looks like...
Wait. No way!
Oh, no!
[YELLS]
Fire bad.
Briony, the guy
almost snapped
your neck, at least...
wait until they'’ve
checked the X-rays.
They better hurry.
We got to find that psychotic
clone before it'’s too late.
Clone?
It'’s the spookiest thing
I'’ve ever seen.
It wasn'’t just a look-alike
for Slade, it was Slade.
Except, Slade was there.
Now two cops are dead because
I didn'’t react fast enough.
You can'’t blame yourself.
He'’s gonna pay for this.
X-ray'’s negative, right, doc?
Good, thanks, see ya.
More than one Slade?
Did you ever get
any sense of that?
Super Zero.
You'’re out
of business, Slade.
Oh, I don'’t know.
I'’m pretty well-connected.
I say you'’re disconnected.
She might be right.
There was something weird
about Slade'’s connections
with the government.
A government program
involving clones.
Like we need
one more Slade.
How do you know
there'’s only one more?
What do you mean,
shut down the program?
I came through just like
I promised. X2 eliminated X1.
Killing policemen was not
what we asked for.
The officers drew weapons.
Gore'’s designed
to protect himself.
And if this were
a war zone instead of
the United States of America,
we could bury it.
[CHUCKLING]
But here we have to
cut our losses.
Beginning with Mr. Magnificent.
What are you saying?
That Gore needs
to be retired.
Retired?Deactivated.
Terminated.
No, no. You can'’t.
You can'’t do this.
Close the door,
will you, now?
Yes, sir.
MADDEN: Looks like we'’ll be
going away for a while,
my magnificent one.
GORE: Away. Away?
I know this is the only home
you'’ve ever known but...
killing those police officers
has gotten us into
a little trouble.
Gore come first.
Yes, I taught you
the first law of survival,
but people live by other laws.
Doctor no mention no laws.
That'’s because you're designed
to function in time of war
under combat conditions.
Never mind.
I'’ll explain it all to you
once we'’re safely away.
But first, there are
some things we'’ll need.
Things?
Money. We'’ll need a lot of it
to keep one step ahead of
these very powerful people.
Where do we
get this... "money"?
That should be easy.
This country owes me.
And you, my magnificent one,
are gonna make it possible
for me to collect.
No problem.
No problem.
No problem.
MADDEN: It'’s called
an automatic teller.
GORE: Automatic teller.
It'’s full of money.
Money, money!
Money good.
We'’re going to make
a withdrawal.
With your strength,
that should be
no trouble at all.
No trouble at all.
You'’ll be lucky
if you aren'’t
court-martialled.
Not only have you turned
a second time bomb
loose in the city,
you sent its damn creator
and maintenance man
out with him.
That'’s very
interesting, general.
If it comes down
to court-martial, do you
really want it known
that you could'’ve
detained the doctor,
instead of trusting him
to voluntarily destroy
his life'’s work?
Just find them.
Bring them back.
Dead or alive, sir?
Don'’t ask stupid questions.
Money.
Huh? Aw, squeegee guy.
No! No!
Squeegee guy, beat it!
Aw. Squeegee guy, no!
I don'’t want it. Beat it.
Just get out of here!
Money good.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Just scram, would ya?
I hate squeegee guys.
No problem.
Money, no problem.
Ladies.
Money, no problem.
Oh, dude, can I have some?
No... no problem.
No problem.
[TYPING]
BRIONY: Okay, let'’s see
what your digital
enhancer program can do
with the license number
on that SUV parked
across the street.
You got it.
Is that the guy
that attacked you
in the stairwell?
BRIONY: Oh, yeah.
It does look
just like Slade.
RALEIGH: Yeah, now
I know why you need it.
How close to the... oh,
they'’re going the other way.
Wait, wait, wait. Right there.
Let'’s see what we can do
with this front bumper.
[TYPING]
Voila.
[CHUCKLES] That'’s fantastic.
BELLBOY: Doctor Madden,
the presidential suite.Oh.
Surely you'’ll find it's
everything that you need.
We have a lovely view
of the city as you can see,
as well as a quite beautiful
fire. If you don'’t mind
I'’ll put it on for you.
Upstairs, we'’ve got
two bedrooms, two bathrooms,
and a lovely jacuzzi.
MADDEN: Fantastic...
Oh... yeah.
Yes!
The champagne, it'’s
on the house, naturally.
Ah. Well, yes.
Ah. Oh. [CHUCKLES]
The house channel
over here...
has previews of
all of our guest services
including the gym and
our masseuses.
Masseuses?As well as recommended
local events,
sporting and entertainment.
Oh.
Thank you very much,
young man.
It'’s... no more
than I deserve.
Oh.
Well, thank you
very much, sir.
No problem.
Have a nice day.
Oh, better than that.
I intend to have
a very nice life.
You are magnificent.
Gore is magnificent.
That'’s what I'm gonna
call you from now on.
Mr. Magnificent.
Mr. Magnificent.
"Gore" is a name
for war zones,
and we'’re no longer
in that business.
From now on,
we live like kings.
We travel first class,
you and I.
I should'’ve started thinking
about myself years ago.
Now that... is something
I could really get into.
TV ANNOUNCER: Among the most beautiful women in the world,
Marla is one of the world'’s
top models,
appearing tonight in
Mr. Dion'’s fashion show at
Bay City'’s House of Soul.
Why shouldn'’t
I have something
like that in my life?
Even a genius doctor
needs a woman.
Woman.
TV ANNOUNCER: You can see
why Marla is styled
"Marla the magnificent."Marla'’s magnificent.
Gore'’s magnificent.
I'’ve gone without fun,
twenty-two years, making
projects like you a reality
for an ungrateful world.
Well...
it'’s time for a few rewards.
Oh, yeah.
GORE: Oh, yeah.
BRIONY: Caught where?
Yeah, it'’s on
the LoJack program.
Okay, good. Put the locator on
and feed it to me in the car.
Oh, and...
send out two
back-up units for me.
Yeah.
Well, truck is leased
to a "Doctor Royce Madden,"
care of The Center
for Biotechnologies.
From what I recall,
part of their research
involves cloning technology.
There'’s your
government connection.
Which darkens the odds.
Maybe not.
That bank job didn'’t
exactly look like
an authorized operation to me.
Which means the second clone
is probably as dangerous
as the first.
Yeah, well, Slade II,
or whatever
his twin calls himself,
is about to get nailed.
I'’m outta here.
RALEIGH: Hold up.
If you need
any more help...
Thanks, covered.
Or... any extra backup.
Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
MADDEN: Gore,
my magnificent one, why
aren'’t you answering me?
I'’m ordering down
for room service.
How many raw steaks would...
you...
MARLA: He'’s got one of the most creative minds on the planet.
I mean look at these clothes. They'’re fabulous...
Oh, my God.
But I'’m having
a great time here,
everyone'’s just marvelous...
I'’ll pick up the vehicle
location off the police scanner
and get there before she does.
Okay, I'’ve got to get
downstairs for that charity
event, but keep me posted.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
WOMAN: Would you
like to donate
to our cause, sir?
Money?
Money, no problem.
Thank you.
[WOMAN LAUGHS IN SURPRISE]
Genius doctor...
need...
women.
Women.
Hey, man, hey, man,
Galencia, Galencia...
Get our out there.
I want her out there now.
Why am I paying her money
if she'’s not out there
selling my clothes?
Never mind...Is everything okay?
It'’s an absolute disaster.
A nuclear holocaust.
Absolute scorched Earth.
Whoa, whoa.
What'’s the matter?
Can I help?
No need to panic, darling,
it'’s always a disaster...
Have you ever
considered modeling?
Me? No. No.
Oh, you should. You have
a certain quality.
Kind of intellectual virility.
[CHUCKLES]
A kind of iron fist
and pelvic pants.
[GIGGLES]
A sort of
"Je ne sais quoi."
Quoi.[LAUGHS]
[STAMMERING]
You know, I'’d love to...
but I, um, I'’m
expecting a... a call
from a girlfriend.
Excuse me.
No need to be like that
I was just saying
a nice thing... [GASPS]
Marla the magnificent.
Where is Marla?
Oh, you must be
the foreign model
they sent over for Marla.
Gore, latest model. X2.
Whatever.
Come with me, darling,
you'’re late. Let's go.
Move. This way, darling.
Marla.
In the door, this way.Marla.
Marla.
Now, Marla'’s due
on the ramp next.
Your outfit is
right over here.
Uh, take off your clothes.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
[DION GASPS]
Oh, my God.
What happened
to his face?
This.
Where the hell is my escort?
Do you know my escort
or can you get on the phone
and call somebody...What?
Marla.
Me, Marla. You, escort?
Take my arm. We'’re on.
What... Oh, my...
Hey! Hey! Wait!
What are you doing?
Put me down!
Somebody help!
They'’re kidnapping Marla!
People! Hello! What do I
have to do to get some
attention around here?
[SCREAMS]
Would you please...
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
[MARLA SCREAMS]
I knew I'’d find you here.
Are you out of your mind?
Gore got doctor'’s women.
[CHUCKLES]
Slade?
Slade?
I Gore. Not Slade.
Slade bad.
Gore magnificent.
Put the ladies down.
Ladies mine.
Put them down, Gore,
defend yourself.
Gore like ladies.
Gore keep ladies.
Don'’t be an imbecile,
Gore, he'’ll kill you.
What mean imbecile?
JOHNNY: You'’re about
to find out.
Fight? [CHUCKLES]
Good. Gore like to fight.
Okay, fight.
Fight good. Fight. Fight.
[SQUEALING]
You good fighter.
Gore good fighter.
We be friends.
I love fight.
More fighting.
Good fighter.
Gore'’s magnificent.
JOHNNY: Gore,
I can'’t be your friend.
But I know
it'’s not your fault.
What not my fault?
[CLANGS]
JOHNNY: You'’re a machine, Gore.
Yes, Gore is magnificent.
Right, magnificent.
But your think-center
is screwed-up.
You'’re criminally insane.
This is a bad thing?
Yeah.
It'’s Dr. Madden's fault.
He made you.
[GRUNTS]
Doctor good.
Gore doctor'’s friend.
No say bad things
about Doctor.
No, no...
no say bad things
about Doctor.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Birds.
Let go of me!
I'’m here to help you,
let'’s go.
No, you'’re not.
Freak!
Wait!
[SIRENS WAILING]
Gore, get out of there.
The police are coming.
Good game.
Play more later.
His name is Night Man.
Oh, a good name.
Night Man good fighter.
Night Man be Gore friend.
Don'’t talk like an imbecile.
Night Man is not your friend.
What means imbecile?
I'’ll explain later.
In the meantime,
Gore must stop slipping into
his civilian charm mode
when the situation calls
for his war mode.
You must be imposing,
threatening, angry.
[GROWLS] Like that.
[GROWLS]
Yeah. Put on your war face,
your war face, like that.
[BOTH GROWLING]
Gore be angry.
[EXCLAIMS]
Doctor want women?
Not now. We must first
secure our safety.
I now know
how they found us.
It'’s time to
get a new car.
First, the animal tears me off,
then the other one charges me.
The other one?
With the mask and cape.
Really?
Full length or opera?
Excuse me.
What'’s she doing?

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
Thank them.
You sure you'’re okay?
Yeah, but remind me
not to try that again.
Yeah.
BRIONY: Hey, guys.Hey.
Hey.That was great.
Thanks.
So, uh, did you find
the spook in the SUV?
Mm-mm, found the truck
abandoned at a used car lot.
Tough night, huh?
Well, we follow it halfway
across the city and then
wind up back here in the alley.
RALEIGH: At least
you cleared up one thing.
This super soldier
trying to abduct two of
the world'’s top models?
That is definitely
a rolled operation.
Yeah, but you'’re not
up against Uncle Sam.
I wouldn'’t be so sure.
They were there tonight.
Meaning?
Watching.
Why would they risk
being spotted?
Well, if the doctor
and his buddy are
into bank robbery,
kidnapping and murder
doesn'’t make sense.
Right.
Killing Slade was
the first step in
the cover-up.
Apparently, they'’ll go to
any lengths to bury this.
And if this "Gore"
and his creator
have turned,
they'’ll have to
bury them too.
RALEIGH: Maybe that'’s
a good thing. Let them
clean up their own mess.
I have some trouble
with that.
There are two dead cops
that deserve some justice.
[PHONE RINGING]
Branca.
Yeah.
Good, okay.
Thanks for the update.
The owner of
that used car lot,
out of bed.
At least now we know
what they'’re driving.
A Corvette convertible.
Gore like car.
Yes, well, fortunately,
it'’ll be tucked away
here for the night.
Where'’s the valet?
Hey, can we get
a valet, please?
What'’s the matter?
What'’s going on?
Now listen to me, Gore.
Listen, listen.
Gore, Gore, listen.
Beginning tomorrow,
you'’ll have to
start obeying me.
To stay ahead of the law
and the army, we have to take
better care of our profile.
Gore'’s profile.
What'’s going on?Magnificent.
He'’s on his way, sir.
Right now.
What... no, Gore,
come back, you fool!
You can'’t drive
around the city
in that car, ya...
Kids.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGING]
Who is it?
GORE: Mr. and Mrs. Magnificent!
Ta-da!
Oh, my God!
This is unthinkable.
Well, this is not good.
When I said I wanted
a woman, I wanted
a consenting woman.
Doctor, don'’t be upset.
I brought one for you.
Pretty.
That'’s the housekeeping lady.
That'’s a supermodel
you got there. How could
you be such an imbecile?
What means imbecile?
An imbecile means...
imbecile...
imbecile means...
that Gore is the most
advanced man on the planet.
That'’s why we must
protect him by leaving them
and getting out of here!
You said we'’d have fun.
Gore having fun now.
No, Gore. No, please.
No. Stop. Stop, Gore.
Gore must stop.
Listen. Listen. Gore, Gore.
We'’ll have fun, yeah?
We'’ll have fun.
Fun good. But... But that car
you were driving around in,
they'’re looking for it.
If it was spotted,
they could be coming
for us right now.
So listen, listen.
Unless you want
your life to end
as quickly as it began,
you got to trust me.
We can take the girl.
No we can'’t
take the girl![GRUNTS]
Okay, okay. We take the girl.
We take the girl.
But first... but first,
but first, Gore must recharge.
Gore recharge while I look for
alternative transportation.
GORE: Recharge? Recharge.
Branca.
Okay, nobody moves
till I get there.
We may have
a hostage situation.
Yup.
What'’s up?
A night maid at
the Corington Hotel,
called in to report seeing
a big guy carrying a woman
up the steps.
She recognized the woman.
Marla. Later.
See ya.
Here we go again.
Gore want Marla.
Yeah, yeah, you and
every heterosexual male
on the planet.
But I'’m warning you,
I'’m very high maintenance.
Gore too. Three days
maintenance every month.
Hey, hey,
throttle back there,
big guy.
You ever hear
of foreplay?
No.
You'’re a real wit.
I need a cigarette.
Do you smoke?
Only when I malfunction.
Are you Italian
by any chance?
Because you remind me of
Tony Britany in Milan.
So headstrong
and such an animal.
[GROWLS]
Gore want Marla.
[MARLA SCREAMS]
Marla! Marla!
Gore?
Where are you?
Never mind her.
We'’ve got to
get out of here.
I just saw
army agents downstairs.
Gore'’s in love.
Well, yes, that'’s very
romantic but we really
should be leaving.
Now!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Stop! Or I'’ll shoot.
JOHNNY: I wouldn'’t do that.
[YELLS]
[SHOUTS]
Good work, soldier!
MADDEN: When I said that suite was the last place on earth they'’d look for us,
I was wrong.
There'’s a better place.
Gore should not run.
Gore should fight.
Don'’t be an imbecile.
We'’re running because
you kidnapped a supermodel.
A great, big powerhouse
like you lets a wuss like him
call you an imbecile?
Imbecile means
most advanced man
on the planet.
[LAUGHS] Imbecile means
"mindless fool."
Look, we'’re here.
MARLA: This is
where you were...
Born.
Created.
This look familiar?
Upgrades?
And I thought Dr. Gethner
was the best party man
in the world.
My work is never really dull.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
Night Man.
Hi, Gore.
Night Man Gore'’s friend.
Good fighter.
We'’ve met.
MADDEN: He'’s here to
destroy you, Gore.
Your orders are to kill him.
Night Man Gore'’s friend.
Good fighter.
That'’s it. I've had it.
I'’m disabling
your personality module.
From now on,
you'’re a pure killer.
There'’s your target.
Attack!
[GROWLING]
MADDEN: This is why
I hate fair fights.
The outcome
is never predictable.
[SIGHS] Oh, well.
Presenting
this year'’s models.
MADDEN: This creature is here
to destroy you.
Kill him.
[GROWLING]
Hey, nope, no, no,
don'’t hurt me, I'm fine.
Going someplace, Madden?
Ah... General,
you'’re just in time.
I'’m not your enemy, he is!
[GENERAL LAUGHS]
Sorry, doc.
My battle plan
has always been...
"Kill '’em all,
and let God
sort out the good
from the bad."
Do it.
COP: Freeze! Police!
What...
Police, drop your weapons.
Drop your weapons. Now!
I said drop it.
JOHNNY: I'’d listen to her
if I were you.
[EXHALES IN RELIEF]
No, no, no, you can'’t.
This is my work.
No, no, you can'’t!
Night Man. Night Man.
You'’re making
a horrible mistake.
This is my lab.
I'’m a man of science.
Night Man!
Night Man... Gore'’s friend.
I would'’ve liked that.
It'’s not your fault
the way you were programmed.
Gore...
is magnificent.
Yes. Gore... magnificent.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, sweetie. We'’re home.
CARL: It'’s about time
you showed up.
Surprised to see me?
Told you I could
find you anywhere.
Just leave us be,
Carl, please.
How many times do I have
to beat it through that
thick little head of yours?
The only way
you'’re leaving me
is in a body bag.
Carl, don'’t do this.
The children.Will forget all about you.
Who the hell are you?
Leave the woman alone.
[GRUNTS]
[GROWLS]
Call the police.
They'’ll help you from here.
I will.
REPORTER: ...Slade himself
was convicted last month
in the brutal killing of two government protected witnesses.
Slade.
Yeah. They think
the government'’s
gonna offer him a deal
to testify against those
four federal agents, his,
uh,"co-conspirators."
Yeah.
Man, he is one ugly guy.
Just glad he'’s off the street.
When I see Slade now,
he looks positively primitive
compared to you, Gore.
[CHUCKLING]
Gore... is magnificent.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
MAN ON TV: Bombs raid upon
the metropolitan center
in a relentless downpour.
A deluge of death
might have dawned.
The death toll, including men, women and children, has climbed into the hundreds of thousands.
They'’ve decided to send
a powerful message
to the enemy.
General, sir.Shh.
MAN ON TV: Followed by
air command'’s strategic
bombing campaign,
the war will continue to rage,
bringing death and suffering
to friend and foe alike
but free more...
Good old days.
You'’re watching
the War Channel, with your host, Cassius Johnson.
We'’ll see you next time.
SOLDIER: Ah, sir.
I believe I have
some bad news.
Have you been watching
anything just a little
more current, sir?
What are you talking about?
Our little problem sir,
Operation Invincible.
Our, watch shall
we call it, sir, mistake.
Doctor Madden'’s mistake
you mean.
His screw-up.
Not ours.
Yes, well,
the doctor'’s"screw-up"
has been apprehended
and offered a deal to testify
against four federal agents.
If he does, sir,
they will tie Slade to us
in a heartbeat.
No civilian authority
is allowed to know
of our presence.
And there will be
no testimony from our...
Dr. Madden'’s folly.
Yes, sir.
Well, how do
we stop it, sir?
He is in police custody.
We get him out of
police custody.
Bulletin from Madden.
Operation Recall is ready.
[CHUCKLES] Oh. Well,
that'’s a very lucky break, sir.
[SHOUTS] Oh,
you call it luck?
No, sir.
Been driving Madden
round the clock
ever since his so-called
"super soldier" malfunctioned.
DADE: The agency'’s
breathing down my neck.
when the agency'’s doing that,I think the agency'’s
gonna be impressed
You can rest assured
that they'’re...You can rest assured...
that the agency
is going to love this.
Colonel Dade. This is Gore.
He'’s a magnificent achievement.
Gore is magnificent.
His hearing is
extremely acute,
along with everything else.
Why is he smiling?
I concentrated on his
physical perfection
so his personality
and speech modules
aren'’t fully programmed.
But they'’re capable
of learning quickly.
At the moment,
Gore is rather child-like
in those two areas
with what one might call
a "pleasing disposition."
Agency is looking for
deadly force, doctor.
If this is another one
of your screw-ups,
I can assure you
that there is nothing
wrong with Gore.
He'’s absolutely ruthless.
Gore is ruthless.
[GROWLS]
This is very
unsettling, doctor.
Colonel,
isn'’t it more effective
to have someone who can...
insinuate himself into
a situation graciously?
Before he wreaks havoc
and kills?
I don'’t think the general's
gonna like this, doctor.
I don'’t think the general's
gonna like it at all.
[SIREN WAILS]
SLADE: Hey, Red.
Did you come to
bail me out?
COP: Come on, Slade.
GORE: Excuse me.
You look, just...
[PUNCHES THUDDING]
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Hey, you.
Let'’s see a visitor's pass.
How'’d you get in
the building, huh?
Let'’s see some ID.
[GASPING]
Who are you?
What'’s your relationship
to the man you'’re following?
Evil twin.
I smell bacon.
[SNIFFS]
Or something
like pork product.
[GRUNTS]
COP: Come on.
Get off me.
That'’s my bike.
Look, I'’m telling you, I know
what my bike sounds like.
That'’s my bike.
SLADE: There he is now!
Look at that geek.
Hey. That guy looks like...
Wait. No way!
Oh, no!
[YELLS]
Fire bad.
Briony, the guy
almost snapped
your neck, at least...
wait until they'’ve
checked the X-rays.
They better hurry.
We got to find that psychotic
clone before it'’s too late.
Clone?
It'’s the spookiest thing
I'’ve ever seen.
It wasn'’t just a look-alike
for Slade, it was Slade.
Except, Slade was there.
Now two cops are dead because
I didn'’t react fast enough.
You can'’t blame yourself.
He'’s gonna pay for this.
X-ray'’s negative, right, doc?
Good, thanks, see ya.
More than one Slade?
Did you ever get
any sense of that?
Super Zero.
You'’re out
of business, Slade.
Oh, I don'’t know.
I'’m pretty well-connected.
I say you'’re disconnected.
She might be right.
There was something weird
about Slade'’s connections
with the government.
A government program
involving clones.
Like we need
one more Slade.
How do you know
there'’s only one more?
What do you mean,
shut down the program?
I came through just like
I promised. X2 eliminated X1.
Killing policemen was not
what we asked for.
The officers drew weapons.
Gore'’s designed
to protect himself.
And if this were
a war zone instead of
the United States of America,
we could bury it.
[CHUCKLING]
But here we have to
cut our losses.
Beginning with Mr. Magnificent.
What are you saying?
That Gore needs
to be retired.
Retired?Deactivated.
Terminated.
No, no. You can'’t.
You can'’t do this.
Close the door,
will you, now?
Yes, sir.
MADDEN: Looks like we'’ll be
going away for a while,
my magnificent one.
GORE: Away. Away?
I know this is the only home
you'’ve ever known but...
killing those police officers
has gotten us into
a little trouble.
Gore come first.
Yes, I taught you
the first law of survival,
but people live by other laws.
Doctor no mention no laws.
That'’s because you're designed
to function in time of war
under combat conditions.
Never mind.
I'’ll explain it all to you
once we'’re safely away.
But first, there are
some things we'’ll need.
Things?
Money. We'’ll need a lot of it
to keep one step ahead of
these very powerful people.
Where do we
get this... "money"?
That should be easy.
This country owes me.
And you, my magnificent one,
are gonna make it possible
for me to collect.
No problem.
No problem.
No problem.
MADDEN: It'’s called
an automatic teller.
GORE: Automatic teller.
It'’s full of money.
Money, money!
Money good.
We'’re going to make
a withdrawal.
With your strength,
that should be
no trouble at all.
No trouble at all.
You'’ll be lucky
if you aren'’t
court-martialled.
Not only have you turned
a second time bomb
loose in the city,
you sent its damn creator
and maintenance man
out with him.
That'’s very
interesting, general.
If it comes down
to court-martial, do you
really want it known
that you could'’ve
detained the doctor,
instead of trusting him
to voluntarily destroy
his life'’s work?
Just find them.
Bring them back.
Dead or alive, sir?
Don'’t ask stupid questions.
Money.
Huh? Aw, squeegee guy.
No! No!
Squeegee guy, beat it!
Aw. Squeegee guy, no!
I don'’t want it. Beat it.
Just get out of here!
Money good.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Just scram, would ya?
I hate squeegee guys.
No problem.
Money, no problem.
Ladies.
Money, no problem.
Oh, dude, can I have some?
No... no problem.
No problem.
[TYPING]
BRIONY: Okay, let'’s see
what your digital
enhancer program can do
with the license number
on that SUV parked
across the street.
You got it.
Is that the guy
that attacked you
in the stairwell?
BRIONY: Oh, yeah.
It does look
just like Slade.
RALEIGH: Yeah, now
I know why you need it.
How close to the... oh,
they'’re going the other way.
Wait, wait, wait. Right there.
Let'’s see what we can do
with this front bumper.
[TYPING]
Voila.
[CHUCKLES] That'’s fantastic.
BELLBOY: Doctor Madden,
the presidential suite.Oh.
Surely you'’ll find it's
everything that you need.
We have a lovely view
of the city as you can see,
as well as a quite beautiful
fire. If you don'’t mind
I'’ll put it on for you.
Upstairs, we'’ve got
two bedrooms, two bathrooms,
and a lovely jacuzzi.
MADDEN: Fantastic...
Oh... yeah.
Yes!
The champagne, it'’s
on the house, naturally.
Ah. Well, yes.
Ah. Oh. [CHUCKLES]
The house channel
over here...
has previews of
all of our guest services
including the gym and
our masseuses.
Masseuses?As well as recommended
local events,
sporting and entertainment.
Oh.
Thank you very much,
young man.
It'’s... no more
than I deserve.
Oh.
Well, thank you
very much, sir.
No problem.
Have a nice day.
Oh, better than that.
I intend to have
a very nice life.
You are magnificent.
Gore is magnificent.
That'’s what I'm gonna
call you from now on.
Mr. Magnificent.
Mr. Magnificent.
"Gore" is a name
for war zones,
and we'’re no longer
in that business.
From now on,
we live like kings.
We travel first class,
you and I.
I should'’ve started thinking
about myself years ago.
Now that... is something
I could really get into.
TV ANNOUNCER: Among the most beautiful women in the world,
Marla is one of the world'’s
top models,
appearing tonight in
Mr. Dion'’s fashion show at
Bay City'’s House of Soul.
Why shouldn'’t
I have something
like that in my life?
Even a genius doctor
needs a woman.
Woman.
TV ANNOUNCER: You can see
why Marla is styled
"Marla the magnificent."Marla'’s magnificent.
Gore'’s magnificent.
I'’ve gone without fun,
twenty-two years, making
projects like you a reality
for an ungrateful world.
Well...
it'’s time for a few rewards.
Oh, yeah.
GORE: Oh, yeah.
BRIONY: Caught where?
Yeah, it'’s on
the LoJack program.
Okay, good. Put the locator on
and feed it to me in the car.
Oh, and...
send out two
back-up units for me.
Yeah.
Well, truck is leased
to a "Doctor Royce Madden,"
care of The Center
for Biotechnologies.
From what I recall,
part of their research
involves cloning technology.
There'’s your
government connection.
Which darkens the odds.
Maybe not.
That bank job didn'’t
exactly look like
an authorized operation to me.
Which means the second clone
is probably as dangerous
as the first.
Yeah, well, Slade II,
or whatever
his twin calls himself,
is about to get nailed.
I'’m outta here.
RALEIGH: Hold up.
If you need
any more help...
Thanks, covered.
Or... any extra backup.
Yeah.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
MADDEN: Gore,
my magnificent one, why
aren'’t you answering me?
I'’m ordering down
for room service.
How many raw steaks would...
you...
MARLA: He'’s got one of the most creative minds on the planet.
I mean look at these clothes. They'’re fabulous...
Oh, my God.
But I'’m having
a great time here,
everyone'’s just marvelous...
I'’ll pick up the vehicle
location off the police scanner
and get there before she does.
Okay, I'’ve got to get
downstairs for that charity
event, but keep me posted.
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]
WOMAN: Would you
like to donate
to our cause, sir?
Money?
Money, no problem.
Thank you.
[WOMAN LAUGHS IN SURPRISE]
Genius doctor...
need...
women.
Women.
Hey, man, hey, man,
Galencia, Galencia...
Get our out there.
I want her out there now.
Why am I paying her money
if she'’s not out there
selling my clothes?
Never mind...Is everything okay?
It'’s an absolute disaster.
A nuclear holocaust.
Absolute scorched Earth.
Whoa, whoa.
What'’s the matter?
Can I help?
No need to panic, darling,
it'’s always a disaster...
Have you ever
considered modeling?
Me? No. No.
Oh, you should. You have
a certain quality.
Kind of intellectual virility.
[CHUCKLES]
A kind of iron fist
and pelvic pants.
[GIGGLES]
A sort of
"Je ne sais quoi."
Quoi.[LAUGHS]
[STAMMERING]
You know, I'’d love to...
but I, um, I'’m
expecting a... a call
from a girlfriend.
Excuse me.
No need to be like that
I was just saying
a nice thing... [GASPS]
Marla the magnificent.
Where is Marla?
Oh, you must be
the foreign model
they sent over for Marla.
Gore, latest model. X2.
Whatever.
Come with me, darling,
you'’re late. Let's go.
Move. This way, darling.
Marla.
In the door, this way.Marla.
Marla.
Now, Marla'’s due
on the ramp next.
Your outfit is
right over here.
Uh, take off your clothes.
[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]
[DION GASPS]
Oh, my God.
What happened
to his face?
This.
Where the hell is my escort?
Do you know my escort
or can you get on the phone
and call somebody...What?
Marla.
Me, Marla. You, escort?
Take my arm. We'’re on.
What... Oh, my...
Hey! Hey! Wait!
What are you doing?
Put me down!
Somebody help!
They'’re kidnapping Marla!
People! Hello! What do I
have to do to get some
attention around here?
[SCREAMS]
Would you please...
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[APPLAUSE]
[MARLA SCREAMS]
I knew I'’d find you here.
Are you out of your mind?
Gore got doctor'’s women.
[CHUCKLES]
Slade?
Slade?
I Gore. Not Slade.
Slade bad.
Gore magnificent.
Put the ladies down.
Ladies mine.
Put them down, Gore,
defend yourself.
Gore like ladies.
Gore keep ladies.
Don'’t be an imbecile,
Gore, he'’ll kill you.
What mean imbecile?
JOHNNY: You'’re about
to find out.
Fight? [CHUCKLES]
Good. Gore like to fight.
Okay, fight.
Fight good. Fight. Fight.
[SQUEALING]
You good fighter.
Gore good fighter.
We be friends.
I love fight.
More fighting.
Good fighter.
Gore'’s magnificent.
JOHNNY: Gore,
I can'’t be your friend.
But I know
it'’s not your fault.
What not my fault?
[CLANGS]
JOHNNY: You'’re a machine, Gore.
Yes, Gore is magnificent.
Right, magnificent.
But your think-center
is screwed-up.
You'’re criminally insane.
This is a bad thing?
Yeah.
It'’s Dr. Madden's fault.
He made you.
[GRUNTS]
Doctor good.
Gore doctor'’s friend.
No say bad things
about Doctor.
No, no...
no say bad things
about Doctor.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Birds.
Let go of me!
I'’m here to help you,
let'’s go.
No, you'’re not.
Freak!
Wait!
[SIRENS WAILING]
Gore, get out of there.
The police are coming.
Good game.
Play more later.
His name is Night Man.
Oh, a good name.
Night Man good fighter.
Night Man be Gore friend.
Don'’t talk like an imbecile.
Night Man is not your friend.
What means imbecile?
I'’ll explain later.
In the meantime,
Gore must stop slipping into
his civilian charm mode
when the situation calls
for his war mode.
You must be imposing,
threatening, angry.
[GROWLS] Like that.
[GROWLS]
Yeah. Put on your war face,
your war face, like that.
[BOTH GROWLING]
Gore be angry.
[EXCLAIMS]
Doctor want women?
Not now. We must first
secure our safety.
I now know
how they found us.
It'’s time to
get a new car.
First, the animal tears me off,
then the other one charges me.
The other one?
With the mask and cape.
Really?
Full length or opera?
Excuse me.
What'’s she doing?

Thank them.
You sure you'’re okay?
Yeah, but remind me
not to try that again.
Yeah.
BRIONY: Hey, guys.Hey.
Hey.That was great.
Thanks.
So, uh, did you find
the spook in the SUV?
Mm-mm, found the truck
abandoned at a used car lot.
Tough night, huh?
Well, we follow it halfway
across the city and then
wind up back here in the alley.
RALEIGH: At least
you cleared up one thing.
This super soldier
trying to abduct two of
the world'’s top models?
That is definitely
a rolled operation.
Yeah, but you'’re not
up against Uncle Sam.
I wouldn'’t be so sure.
They were there tonight.
Meaning?
Watching.
Why would they risk
being spotted?
Well, if the doctor
and his buddy are
into bank robbery,
kidnapping and murder
doesn'’t make sense.
Right.
Killing Slade was
the first step in
the cover-up.
Apparently, they'’ll go to
any lengths to bury this.
And if this "Gore"
and his creator
have turned,
they'’ll have to
bury them too.
RALEIGH: Maybe that'’s
a good thing. Let them
clean up their own mess.
I have some trouble
with that.
There are two dead cops
that deserve some justice.
[PHONE RINGING]
Branca.
Yeah.
Good, okay.
Thanks for the update.
The owner of
that used car lot,
out of bed.
At least now we know
what they'’re driving.
A Corvette convertible.
Gore like car.
Yes, well, fortunately,
it'’ll be tucked away
here for the night.
Where'’s the valet?
Hey, can we get
a valet, please?
What'’s the matter?
What'’s going on?
Now listen to me, Gore.
Listen, listen.
Gore, Gore, listen.
Beginning tomorrow,
you'’ll have to
start obeying me.
To stay ahead of the law
and the army, we have to take
better care of our profile.
Gore'’s profile.
What'’s going on?Magnificent.
He'’s on his way, sir.
Right now.
What... no, Gore,
come back, you fool!
You can'’t drive
around the city
in that car, ya...
Kids.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGING]
Who is it?
GORE: Mr. and Mrs. Magnificent!
Ta-da!
Oh, my God!
This is unthinkable.
Well, this is not good.
When I said I wanted
a woman, I wanted
a consenting woman.
Doctor, don'’t be upset.
I brought one for you.
Pretty.
That'’s the housekeeping lady.
That'’s a supermodel
you got there. How could
you be such an imbecile?
What means imbecile?
An imbecile means...
imbecile...
imbecile means...
that Gore is the most
advanced man on the planet.
That'’s why we must
protect him by leaving them
and getting out of here!
You said we'’d have fun.
Gore having fun now.
No, Gore. No, please.
No. Stop. Stop, Gore.
Gore must stop.
Listen. Listen. Gore, Gore.
We'’ll have fun, yeah?
We'’ll have fun.
Fun good. But... But that car
you were driving around in,
they'’re looking for it.
If it was spotted,
they could be coming
for us right now.
So listen, listen.
Unless you want
your life to end
as quickly as it began,
you got to trust me.
We can take the girl.
No we can'’t
take the girl![GRUNTS]
Okay, okay. We take the girl.
We take the girl.
But first... but first,
but first, Gore must recharge.
Gore recharge while I look for
alternative transportation.
GORE: Recharge? Recharge.
Branca.
Okay, nobody moves
till I get there.
We may have
a hostage situation.
Yup.
What'’s up?
A night maid at
the Corington Hotel,
called in to report seeing
a big guy carrying a woman
up the steps.
She recognized the woman.
Marla. Later.
See ya.
Here we go again.
Gore want Marla.
Yeah, yeah, you and
every heterosexual male
on the planet.
But I'’m warning you,
I'’m very high maintenance.
Gore too. Three days
maintenance every month.
Hey, hey,
throttle back there,
big guy.
You ever hear
of foreplay?
No.
You'’re a real wit.
I need a cigarette.
Do you smoke?
Only when I malfunction.
Are you Italian
by any chance?
Because you remind me of
Tony Britany in Milan.
So headstrong
and such an animal.
[GROWLS]
Gore want Marla.
[MARLA SCREAMS]
Marla! Marla!
Gore?
Where are you?
Never mind her.
We'’ve got to
get out of here.
I just saw
army agents downstairs.
Gore'’s in love.
Well, yes, that'’s very
romantic but we really
should be leaving.
Now!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Stop! Or I'’ll shoot.
JOHNNY: I wouldn'’t do that.
[YELLS]
[SHOUTS]
Good work, soldier!
MADDEN: When I said that suite was the last place on earth they'’d look for us,
I was wrong.
There'’s a better place.
Gore should not run.
Gore should fight.
Don'’t be an imbecile.
We'’re running because
you kidnapped a supermodel.
A great, big powerhouse
like you lets a wuss like him
call you an imbecile?
Imbecile means
most advanced man
on the planet.
[LAUGHS] Imbecile means
"mindless fool."
Look, we'’re here.
MARLA: This is
where you were...
Born.
Created.
This look familiar?
Upgrades?
And I thought Dr. Gethner
was the best party man
in the world.
My work is never really dull.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
Night Man.
Hi, Gore.
Night Man Gore'’s friend.
Good fighter.
We'’ve met.
MADDEN: He'’s here to
destroy you, Gore.
Your orders are to kill him.
Night Man Gore'’s friend.
Good fighter.
That'’s it. I've had it.
I'’m disabling
your personality module.
From now on,
you'’re a pure killer.
There'’s your target.
Attack!
[GROWLING]
MADDEN: This is why
I hate fair fights.
The outcome
is never predictable.
[SIGHS] Oh, well.
Presenting
this year'’s models.
MADDEN: This creature is here
to destroy you.
Kill him.
[GROWLING]
Hey, nope, no, no,
don'’t hurt me, I'm fine.
Going someplace, Madden?
Ah... General,
you'’re just in time.
I'’m not your enemy, he is!
[GENERAL LAUGHS]
Sorry, doc.
My battle plan
has always been...
"Kill '’em all,
and let God
sort out the good
from the bad."
Do it.
COP: Freeze! Police!
What...
Police, drop your weapons.
Drop your weapons. Now!
I said drop it.
JOHNNY: I'’d listen to her
if I were you.
[EXHALES IN RELIEF]
No, no, no, you can'’t.
This is my work.
No, no, you can'’t!
Night Man. Night Man.
You'’re making
a horrible mistake.
This is my lab.
I'’m a man of science.
Night Man!
Night Man... Gore'’s friend.
I would'’ve liked that.
It'’s not your fault
the way you were programmed.
Gore...
is magnificent.
Yes. Gore... magnificent.
