02x47 - Turf

[bunniefuu]

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.

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.

We are Defenders of the Night.

We are gargoyles!

NARRATOR: Previously on Gargoyles...

GOLIATH: This is Angela...

I'm Broadway. This is Lexington and Brooklyn.

COP: Brod! Stop.

BROD: Sorry. I can't stay.

[LAUGHING]

We'll shut you down, burn you out or blow you up.

-That clear enough? -You're under arrest.

-[GASPS] -Don't do anything stupid.

[GRUNTS]

[EXCLAIMS]

You now have the evidence you need against this leech.

Airtight.

Come on, come on, let's go! Quit floppin' and start choppin'!

Come on down to Dracon's House of Auto Parts.

The prices are hot...

And so is the merchandise!

[LAUGHING]

BROOKLYN: You see, Angie, I patrol the city every night.

It's a dangerous job, but someone's got to do it.

Yeah, I must've foiled a hundred muggings since I came to New York.

'Course, the real action's in organized crime.

The streets are a lot safer since I put Tony Dracon behind bars.

[CHUCKLING] Very impressive.

Um, is that normal?

LEXINGTON: Looks like a Cyberbiotics Hovercraft.

Say, uh, did I ever tell you about the time I flew a helicopter?

I've seen one like that before. And I didn't like the owner.

[GRUNTS]

That is why I never go in first.

[COUGHING]

What about Sleeping Beauty?

Let her sleep.

The prince has a kingdom to conquer.

GLASSES: Trouble's coming! Get ready!

[ALL COUGHING]

[COUGHING] This one's bulletproof!

CHAVEZ OVER BULLHORN: This is the police!

We have the building surrounded!

Police? [YELLING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Throw down your weapons and come out with your hands in the air!

Move, move, move!

[GRUNTS]

Hold your fire.

ANGELA: They're escaping!

That's my cue!

Your cue? Please.

Listen, two of us will follow the car, two will go after the hovercraft.

Angie, you're with me.

Hey.

That's not fair. How come you get to go with Angela?

Hey, am I the second-in-command or what?

You're abusing your power!

Hey, I'm in charge, all right? Come on.

[ALL ARGUING]

Guys... Guys!

Uh-oh!

-[THUD] -[ALL EXCLAIMING]

I tried to warn you.

ALL: Thanks.

[GROANS] What happened?

Your plan worked until police showed up.

What? Someone squealed.

I didn't come out of retirement to turn rat.

I signed on 'cause Brod's tough enough to break Dracon's hold on the New York turf.

I got no reason to be a bum here.

And none of the men I brought from Prague would dare betray Tomas Brod.

[SCOFFS] Then I guess it was me.

[LAUGHING]

I know I like you.

Ah, Dracon's boys probably got sloppy.

Led the cops to the warehouse.

Yes. That will do... For now.

BROOKLYN: I would've caught 'em if you weren't in my way!

You're the one who got in my way!

You both botched it up. I was right there.

[SIGHS] It's almost dawn, and Goliath, Bronx and Hudson still haven't returned from patrol.

Don't worry.

We've all been caught away from home at sunrise.

Yeah, but how many of us have turned to stone in mid-air?

Hey! A Macbeth robot was after me.

Knock it off, muttonheads!

[ALL ARGUING]

You're the guys who are always getting into it. I'm in control.

Brod b*rned us bad this time, Tony. He's muscling in.

Fine.

If Brod wants a turf w*r with Anthony Dracon, he'll get one.

What do you want us to do?

Hit these mutts and hit 'em hard!

Right, boss. Got it.

MATT: Tomas Brod? We'd like to ask you some questions.

Like where were you during last night's raid on Tony Dracon's chopshop?

Oh, chopshop?

What is chopshop?

[SIGHS] No matter.

We were here last night till very late.

Is that not right?

-Yeah. -That's right.

Mmm-hmm.

[POLICE SIREN BLARING]

Okay, Brod, let's converse.

Waste of time. Salli will tell you same story as me.

Exact same story.

Well, we'll just make sure you don't compare notes.

Sit down... Miss.

Someone will be with you soon.

[SIGHS] This way, tough guy.

Get off of me! Get off of me!

I tell you leave me alone!

[ALL CLAMORING]

[SIGHS]

[ALL ROARING]

Uh-oh. We've got a problem.

[CHUCKLES] Surprise.

Elisa?

[LAUGHING NERVOUSLY] I knew it was her all the time.

[CHUCKLING] Oh, yeah. Me too. Right off the bat.

Ha! Wasn't fooled for a second.

[LOW] Please...

So why the disguise?

It's obvious. You're undercover, right?

Right. Angela, do you remember Tomas Brod?

From Prague? That was his hovercraft.

Yeah, he's moved his operation to New York.

I've infiltrated his g*ng and now we're trying to bust him and Dracon's men.

And you want me there in case there's trouble.

[HESITANTLY] Well, it could get tough to check in with Matt.

You guys can follow me places he can't.

-Hey, I'm there. -I can do anything you need.

-We got you covered. -Right there.

Yep, count on me.

Uh... Thanks.

I'd better get back downstairs before I'm missed.

Elisa, I know the boys are trying to be friendly but...

Are they always like this?

[CHUCKLES]

It's been a while since they've been around an attractive female gargoyle, like about 1,000 years.

You're a big girl.

Just let them know how you expect to be treated.

ELISA: Come on, Captain! Weeks of planning and we can't bust any of the top guys on either side?

You were out cold the whole time.

Any half-decent lawyer would rip your testimony apart!

Then let me stick with Brod a little longer.

He's gotta make another move against Dracon.

Or vice-versa.

Too dangerous.

We have to play this out, Captain.

If one side wins this turf w*r, they'll be too powerful to control.

This is the best chance we'll get to decimate both sides.

So glad we had this chance to chat.

[STRAINING] I said let go of me! I can find my own way out!

Keep it up, honeybunch and you'll find your way to a holding pen!

Get out of my sight, Brod. And take this trash with you.

All right, here's the plan.

Me and Angie will tail 'em and you guys wait here for Goliath.

He's doing it again.

This is too important for you to handle alone.

Listen, Elisa's counting on us, so no more fighting, okay?

-Who's fighting? -I am not fighting.

[GASPS]

That bum Dracon hit us all over town. We've been hurt bad.

That was my favorite restaurant!

Now he makes me mad.

Word on the street is Dracon's got a trainload of weapons coming in tonight.

Prepare hovercraft!

If Dracon wants w*r, he gets w*r!

We hit the train then destroy the rest of Dracon's operations with his own weapons.

Why would Dracon be carrying weapons on a passenger train?

This putkahna is clever.

You got that right, pal.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Let's get back to the hovercraft!

JOEY: There's no way out, Brod!

The turf w*r's over...

[LAUGHS] And you lose!

[GRUNTING]

[ALL SCREAMING]

Those creatures, I fought some in Prague.

Why do they help me now?

Maybe they hate Dracon more.

[LAUGHING] You see me with those guys, Angie?

Baboom! Right over the side.

That's nothing. Watch me take on the hovercraft.

Not if I get there first, slowpoke.

ANGELA: Wait!

[BEEP]

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

BROD: Don't move.

[LAUGHING] Looks like I've got you.

Big deal.

You get rid of me, there's a hundred tough guys waiting to take my place.

Dracons have owned this town for three generations.

So... No more Dracons, town gets new owner.

Whatever.

Tomas, we must go back for him!

He is not the problem.

Don't worry, Angela. Broadway's here.

Hey, butt out. I'm the one who rescued her.

LEXINGTON: [GROGGILY] Is she all right?

Oh, you got a lot of nerve asking.

Yeah. This is all your fault!

I can't help it if you guys can't keep up with Angie and me.

Angie and you?

Oh, forget about it. Hey, hey, forget it. She's mine, all right?

-She's my girl! -Oh yeah, right!

-In your dreams. -I've had it.

[ALL CLAMORING]

Stop it!

Does anyone care that Brod is getting away?

It's time you all stopped acting like hatchlings.

The winner does not get to keep me.

Now let's go.

Whoa. Busted.

Come on. Elisa needs our help.

LEXINGTON: Hey, Angie! Wait up!

Oh, and another thing...

Stop calling me Angie!

-Got it. -No problem.

Angela it is.

I have been making big mistake.

You want to k*ll snake, you cut off the head.

So far, we only fight the body of Dracon's operation.

Now we must destroy head.

[SCOFFS] But Dracon's in jail.

We can't just break into a maximum security prison!

Why not?

Well, for starters, we won't even know where to look for Dracon.

The bum's in Cell block D.

[LAUGHING] You see? As good as done.

Sergeant, we've got a problem.

[SCREAMS]

[ALARM RINGING]

What's going on? I didn't order a breakout.

[COUGHING]

Hurry! Time to cut off the head!

Never thought I'd find myself protecting Tony Dracon.

BROD: Is this the only way into the cell block?

Yeah.

Not anymore.

BROOKLYN: All right, guys! Time for some teamwork!

[ALL GASP]

Keep him busy! I know another way in!

Lex, give her a hand.

Right behind you!

[STRAINING]

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

You don't get off that easy, pal.

[EXCLAIMS]

[SCREAMING]

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Can't you do something? I thought you flew a helicopter.

[SHEEPISHLY] Yeah, but, uh... First I kinda crashed it.

[ALARM CONTINUES RINGING]

[ALL CLAMORING]

[GASPS]

Guard! Guard!

I think they are busy just now.

Like sh**ting fish in barrel, no?

-No! -[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Well, well. Nice to see you again... sugar.

You know Salli?

You should have checked her references, Brod.

Meet Detective Elisa Maza, NYPD.

Prison suits you, Tony.

Pay attention, Dracon. I practice on her.

[STRAINING]

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLING]

[GRUNTING]

You want a piece of me, Brod?

You got it!

Right after I exterminate these bats.

Putkahna! I will crush you! But first, the reptiles!

BROOKLYN: These boys just can't play nice.

BROADWAY: Yeah. We better take away their toys.

[GRUNTING]

Thanks, guys, but you better get lost before the guards get here.

Hi. I got some new inmates for you.

A couple of creeps who were messing with my turf.

Angela? I just wanna say we're really sorry.

Yeah. We were acting like a bunch of jerks.

From now on we'll just, uh, you know... Back off.

Don't back off. Just slow down.

I like all three of you, but if anything's gonna happen, it'll happen in its own time.

Besides, I'm not the only female gargoyle on Earth.

I have 15 rookery sisters on Avalon.

So, uh... When do we get our world tour?

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

GUARD: Last night's little party cost you your private cell privileges, Dracon.

Here's your new roommate.

I hope you'll be real happy together.
