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.
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 growl]
We are defenders
of the night.
We are gargoyles!
Goliath: courage...
Virtue...
Struggling to do
what is right.
Gargoyles and humans
want to believe
That we are
always in control,
That we can aid our loved ones
In any crisis,
But there are times
when life mocks our pride.
That is when
we learn humility
And that the greatest
of our strengths
Is the simple will
to persevere.
That's the building
right there.
No new gargoyles,
that's for sure.
I think elisa's tipster
was jerkin' her around.
Still, we must
investigate.
If there really are
more of our kind out here,
Alone, unprotected,
We have to find them...
Before the quarrymen do.
I hope it's true.
We could use
some fresh blood
around here.
Hey, what's that?
Got me. But whatever
they are...
Brooklyn:
they've got wings.
Goliath:
wait! Do not run.
We mean you no harm.
Where'd they go?
Goliath: these claw marks
suggest
They went
in that direction.
Yeah, so does this.
Take care.
We have no idea
what we shall find here.
With any luck,
some new friends.
New femalefriends.
What is this place?
It appears to be a...
An artisan's studio.
Hey, are the statues
supposed to be moving?
Wait. Please wait.
Don't run.
We want to help you.
Ok, let's see
what we've got.
-[Sighs]
-[grunts]
Lexington: oh, wow.
They are gargoyles.
Don't be afraid.
We are friends.
Friends?
[Laughing]
Not our friends.
Monster.
[Growling]
We have been tricked.
[Strains]
We're trapped.
[Grunts]
Steel's two feet thick.
[Both coughing]
[Groans]
Man: so far, so good.
[Groans]
Who are you?
Come out and show yourself.
I'm afraid that would
serve little purpose.
[Grunting]
[Coughs]
Let me outta here!
Man: perhaps...
If you survive.
[Door opens]
Oh, what is this?
[Roaring]
Lexington: ohh.
[Growls]
[Growling]
[Straining]
has to be a way out.
Aah!
What are you doing?
Is this some kind
of sick joke?
Man: oh, I never,
ever joke.
[Cracking]
Ahh...
Fortunate creatures...
To be able to perform
Such a valuable
service to mankind.
By studying the results
of these experiments
In survival instinct
analysis,
Primal fear suppression,
And climatic tolerance,
We will learn
a great deal
From a species
so near our own--
So animalistic,
Yet psychologically
so human.
Goliath: how can you
be so cruel?
[Grunts]
Me cruel?
But I am simply executing
The will of egon pax,
Whose visionary experiments
Will transform the world.
[Scoffs] he said
it was an honor
For you to be chosen.
Why am I not in a cage
Like the rest
of my clan?
All in good time.
The beneficent pax
Expects you all
to serve us
For a long, long time.
N-never!
We are not lab rats.
Oh, but you are.
[Beep]
[Beeping continues]
[Grunts]
[Screams]
Rest well,
my proud friends.
Tomorrow, you will
need your strength.
We have special plans
for you.
The week has been kind
to our work.
Chair 5 has seen
to the bankrupting
Of a major
munitions competitor.
Thanks to chair 6,
the revolution in cosa verde
Has begun.
And you, doctor.
What have you to report?
[Clears throat]
My experiments
with the gargoyles,
While admittedly
intriguing,
Are all quite minor
In and of themselves.
Still, each contributes
its small part
To the true focus
of our work.
Egon pax--
Beloved peacemaker
In the fighting among
the shattered remnants
Of the former nation
of latvonia.
Pax will arrive
in new york tonight
To address a gathering
of world leaders,
In hope of securing
their help
Toward a permanent peace.
Since our front industries
supply weapons
To all sides in the w*r,
For us, egon pax
Is a very dangerous man.
Is your assistant ready?
Almost. As you know,
Brainwashing
used to take months,
But my new technology
Has reduced the time
to hours.
He will be ready.
No!
[Grunts]
Yes. Your friends
are suffering
Terrible torments.
[Footsteps approach]
And who is responsible
for this madness?
He is!
Egon pax!
To save your friends,
You must eliminate
egon pax.
-Egon pax.
-[Grunts]
Egon pax. Egon pax.
[Grunts]
Egon pax. Egon pax.
No, you're lying.
Why would you betray
your own leader?
I will not listen
to this madness.
Then your friends
will pay the price
For your obstinance!
[Grunts]
No!
No!
[Strains]
I will not... Listen.
[Screams]
Oh, but you will,
If your friends mean
anything at all to you.
In the end,
You most certainly will.
For you friends to live,
Egon pax must be destroyed.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
-No!
-Egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax...
Yes, you must destroy
egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
Destroy egon pax.
Egon... Pax.
Yes.
Oh...
But I am sorry.
It seems you are too late.
My clan.
And there is mr. Pax now,
Driving to his hotel
on park avenue.
What a shame you didn't
get a chance to speak to him
About your poor friends.
[Beeping and clicking]
[Grunts]
Must... Destroy...
Egon... Pax!
[Grunts]
Egon pax!
[Grunts]
[Panting]
[Coughing]
[Grunts]
[Coughs]
Somebody's gonna
pay for this.
[Gasps]
[Coughing
and gasping for air]
[Beep]
Man: broadway.
Are you all right?
[Grunts] what do you think?
[Both scream]
Now tell me where
my friends are,
or I'll--
Wait, wait.
I'm here to help.
Don't lie to me! Unh!
Broadway, no.
It's me.
Xanatos?!
You did this to us?
Shut up and listen,
broadway.
I'm saving your life.
The illuminati,
your hosts here,
Accept only
the most powerful
Into their
ancient order.
Though I occasionally
find my membership
distasteful,
It often proves useful,
as it did today.
The rest of the story
can wait.
My "lodge brothers"
will return soon,
And all of you
must be gone.
-[Growling and snarling]
-hurry!
Sounds like something's
tearing lex apart.
[Growling and snarling]
[Panting]
Hey, I may be small...
But I'm still
a gargoyle.
[Leopard purrs]
Easy, brooklyn.
You're gonna be ok.
[Groans]
W-where's goliath?
Yeah, where is goliath?
No longer here.
And we'll
have to hurry
If we're going
to save him...
From himself.
Everybody in place?
If this guy pax is hurt,
A lot of innocent people
Are going to find themselves
Back in a nasty w*r.
[Grunts]
Boris?
Yes, mr. President.
See if we might have
a little american radio.
[Switches radio on,
music plays]
Hidden in this box,
I'm getting no sense
Of the spirit
of this great city.
-[Loud clanging]
-ah!
[Goliath grunts]
[Both gasp]
[Grunts]
Get us out of here!
[Tires squealing]
Are you all right,
mr. President?
[Pounding]
[Goliath screams]
Aah!
[Growls]
Ohh. Aah!
[Goliath grunts]
[Cocks]
[Grunts]
For all the evil
you have done,
You must be destroyed.
[Sirens wailing]
[Grunts]
[Groans]
I do not know why
You have att*cked me.
All my life,
I have been
a man of peace.
[Grunts]
Peace?
Subliminal message:
destroy egon pax.
Goliath: no. You lie!
Because of you,
my friends are dead.
You won't hurt anyone
ever again.
Cease fire.
You'll hit pax.
[Grunts]
No one can save you!
Brooklyn: goliath, stop!
Don't do this.
We're ok.
See? We're fine.
Just put the guy down.
You're... Safe.
But then--
Subliminal message:
destroy egon pax.
No.
You're trying
to confuse me.
I only know one truth--
Egon pax
must be destroyed.
Broadway: goliath, no!
[Goliath grunts]
[All grunt]
-[Goliath grunts]
-please.
You do not
want to do this.
v*olence solves nothing.
Please, my son,
Do not do this
terrible thing.
If not for my sake,
Then for your own.
[Grunts]
Subliminal message:
destroy egon pax.
No.
[Grunts]
Come on, pal,
What's it gonna be?
Goliath, don't!
Mmm.
Subliminal message:
destroy egon pax.
Egon pax.
Destroy egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
[Grunts]
Subliminal message:
destroy egon pax.
No!
[Goliath grunts]
Subliminal message:
egon pax.
Egon pax.
Egon pax.
[Goliath grunts]
I...
I cannot.
I...
I failed.
[Crackling]
[Grunts]
No, no, no, my friend.
In the end...
By choosing
peace over v*olence,
You have succeeded.
What...
What did I almost do?
It wasn't you,
goliath.
The guys who att*cked us
brainwashed you.
Yeah. They wanted you
to nail president pax.
We're just lucky
we got here in time.
Man: ok, monsters, freeze!
Or we'll drop ya
where ya stand.
[Grunts]
Wait, wait. Don't sh**t.
Please. Let there be
No more v*olence
here tonight.
Do not make a mockery
of all my work.
Man: mr. President!
Sorry, mr. President,
But it isn't safe here.
President's all right.
Pax is clear.
[g*ns cock]
Now what?
[Helicopter approaches]
Cease fire.
Man: doctor...
We need to talk.
Xanatos: unfortunately,
having news accounts
of your att*ck
Broadcast to the world
Isn't likely to inspire
much love for gargoyles.
But it wasn't his fault.
He was brainwashed.
You know that,
and I know that,
But try telling it
to them.
All of our efforts to make
the humans accept us...
Destroyed...
In one moment of madness.
So what do we do now?
The only thing we can do--
Tomorrow...
We start over.
