[Snarls]

[Howls]

Any time, owen.

Yah!

[Xanatos grunts]

You've been practicing.

This is the first time
I've ever lost a match to you.

Would you rather
I pretend to lose?

I'd fire you if you did.

-Are you all right, mr. Xanatos?
-Of course.

Let's move to the next item
on the agenda.

That would be meeting with
the emir at two.

Tell him to be here at one.

[Dialing]

[Man]
need some help?

Worried about missing
the late show tonight?

It's a gift. I'm just stashing
it here till I'm off shift.

Captain, this is a joke,
right?

No joke.
I'm assigning you a partner.

Now that you're back on duty,

We're gonna make sure
you stay there.

You think I need protection?

Getting sh*t, I mean,
that was an accident.

This isn't open to discussion.

This is
detective matt bluestone.

He worked with me
to close the dracon business.

-You dropped this.
-Thanks.

No offense,
I'm sure you're a great cop,

But I don't need a partner.

Hey, I understand. Problem is,
you have a partner. Me.

Guess we have to just
make the best of it.

There must be some kind of
conspiracy going on to make
my life difficult.

Wouldn't surprise me.

Look, I have something
to take care of...alone.

I'll
meet you outside in 20 minutes.

You guys better appreciate this.

[Broadway]
let me help you, elisa.

Thanks, broadway.

Hey!

Neat toy, huh?

Heh, yeah slow it down
or I'll give you a ticket.

-Where's goliath?
-Down in the library.

-You staying for breakfast?
-No, thanks.

I gotta get back to work soon.

[Elisa] goliath?

-What are you reading?
-Dostoyevsky.

Yeah? Who's it by?

Kidding.

[Helicopter approaches]

What's wrong?

Xanatos...

He stole our ancestral home,
drove us into hiding here.

And I was unable to prevent it.

Hey, look on the bright side,

You didn't lose a castle,
you gained a library.

This is his century, his world.

We are outcasts,
strangers in a strange land.

We have no hope of regaining
what is rightfully ours.

You're right, it's a lousy deal.

But xanatos won't stay on top
forever.

What goes around
comes around, goliath.

I wouldn't want his karma.

If only I could make him feel
what I feel now.

Well, it's not a six foot
screen but I hope it'll do.

It's a grand gift, lass.
Thank you.

Xanatos!

This is travis marshall
at the museum of modern art,

Where one of the world's
most priceless jewels,
the eye of odin

Is being donated by
david xanatos from
his private collection.

This is quite a philanthropic
act, mr xanatos.

The eye is worth millions.
To just give it away?

Well, travis, I just felt
that the eye should be
shared with the world

Instead of locked away
in my personal museum.

Besides,
it's a great tax write-off.

A grand gesture from a man
known for grand gestures.

[Roars]

A few more donations
like this

And new york might even forget
about your prison record.

I made a mistake, mr marshall.

I paid my debt to society.

All I'm trying to do now is give
something to benefit others.

Would you rather
I kept the eye?

Your limo is ready
mr xanatos...

Perfect timing, owen. As always.

It appears
I'm not appreciated around here.

You and me both, pal.

[Smashing glass and alarm]

[Matt]
they're called the illuminati.

Way I hear it,
they run everything.

Even the president
works for them.

Look, matt, you need to know
something about me.

I don't care about ufo's,
loch ness or secret societies.

Believe me, the world's
strange enough as it is.

[Police radio static]

All units, all units,
10-31 at museum of modern art.

[Siren]

[Alarm]

Wait for backup. We don't know
how many there might be.

Police! Freeze!

No!

[Metallic ping]

Why'd you try to stop me?

Hey, uh,
who knows what that thing was?

It might have blown up
when you hit it

Yeah, ok.
Maybe you're right.

So, any idea
what I was sh**ting at?

Not a clue.

According to sightings
all over town,

There are at least three
of these things.

Well, they're
not shy about being seen.

-This doesn't make sense.
-What's that, maza?

Check this out.

This station has acquired
the security camera coverage
of the robbery last night.

According to witnesses,
this gargoyle-like creature

att*cked a guard and
then flew away from the scene.

You two saw that...thing.
Care to speculate?

All I know is I hit it
with a .38 slug and didn't
even slow it down.

-Maza, any ideas?
-Not yet.

So there you have it. Someone's
impersonating you, goliath.

Do you think it's possible
there are other gargoyles
alive out there?

You guys are tough
but you're not bulletproof.

I heard matt's slugs
bounce off metal.

Xantatos' robots.

The steel clan? I thought
we destroyed them all.

We did. He must have made more.

It makes no sense.

Why would xanatos donate
the jewel to the museum
and then have it stolen?

No doubt he has some sort
of devious plan in mind.

Hudson, you and bronx
guard our new home.

The rest of you, come with me.

-Where are you going?
-To deal with xanatos.

Hold on, goliath.
I wouldn't take the chance
of being seen if I were you.

You're not rating very high in
public opinion polls right now.

No, elisa. No more hiding.

Xanatos will answer to me
for this.

Goliath, wait!

[Matt]
yo, partner.

No offense, matt,
but this is something
I have to handle alone.

No way. Not with those stainless
steel monsters out there.

Look, this is one time
I don't want a partner.

Yeah? Well that's usually the
time you need one the most.

Come on, get in.

Xanatos, you have gone too far.

First you steal our home and now
you steal our very identities.

You've got it all wrong.

I'm the best friend
you have in this world.

[Snarls]

[Roars]

I'm sorry, detective maza,
mr xanatos is in an
important meeting.

I've always been welcome before.

Things change, detective.


I don't suppose
you have a warrant.

[Xanatos]
you see, soon,

Everybody in the big apple

Will be hunting gargoyles.

Because of you!

If you want to be picky,
we won't get anywhere.

Let's try to focus
on the big picture, goliath.

I've got
a research facility upstate

Where you and your friends
could be comfortable

-And protected.
-What?

Doesn't seem a difficult
choice to me.

Stay here in the city
and be hunted down like animals.

Or be my guests in a safe haven.
What do you say?

[Low growl]

[Roars]

Let's go!

You're taking this
much too personally.

Well, that was
spectacularly unsuccessful.

Yeah.

Come on, hurry.

I can tell working with you
is going to be good aerobics.

[Tires squeal]

[Brooklyn]
so what happened?

-Did xanatos admit he was--
-i don't want to talk about it.

[g*nsh*t]

Goliath!

Aagh!

It's the steel clan!

We've beaten them before.
We can do it again.

-It's those gargoyles!
-Call the cops! Get some backup!

Broadway!

Yaargh!

Ow.

Hey, we're still alive.
How come?

It's like they're
waiting for something.

No doubt for us to lead them
back to our new sanctuary.

But why?
Why not just k*ll us?

Because xanatos
doesn't want to destroy us.

He wants to dominate us.

He's probably
controlling them by radio
like that toy car I have.

-Yeah, so what do we do now?
-[Siren]

What's going on up there?

Looks like that urban myth
about gargoyles just
became urban reality.

We can't lead them back
to the clock tower and
we can't stay here.

It's not long till sunrise.

We could tackle them again.

Yeah, I'm really looking
forward to that.

They're tougher
than the last batch we fought.

Yeah, particularly that one.

We must continue the
fight someplace isolated.

Come!

-That's them!
-Look, there they are!

[Shouting continues]

They're heading south.

-Where are we going, goliath?
-There.

You take the others.
I'll handle the leader.

Ok, tin man,
let's play follow the leader.

Aagh!

No, machine, you'll not
get rid of me that easily.

Give it up, dumpster face.

We must go, quickly.

[Whir of rotor blades]

-Thanks for the exclusive.
-You owe me one.

The public's been reassured
that the gargoyles were robots.

Who created them
is still under investigation.

Xanatos tried to force us
to reveal our new home.

We defeated him. And if we
did it once, we can do it again.

And we will. Together.

Don't tell me robots.
What I saw through those
binoculars was no robot.

It was
a flesh and blood something.

Look, it was dark,
they were a long way off.

Do you
believe whatever you want.
I know what I saw.

And I'm gonna
find out what it was.

It would appear that your plan
to learn the gargoyles' hiding
place has gone awry, sir.

Not really.

I have the eye of odin back
in my private collection,

And the city owes me
a favor for donating it.

I successfully tested this
prototype battle exoframe.

-And the most important thing...
-Yes, sir?

I was a little worried that
I might be getting soft.

But I was able to stand up
against goliath, the greatest
warrior alive.

I'd say I've still got the edge.
