[Howls]

[Growls]

Come on, sis.

How long have we gotta
keep this up?

Until I get something
on him I can use.

Xanatos always spots the tail
when I follow him by car.

You know,you're really obsessed
with this guy.

He did his time.
Why not just let him be?

Because, derek,
I know he's dirty.

[Derek] how? You getting
spirit messages?

-Call it cop instinct.
-Hey, you're not the only cop
up here.

We get a real call,
this is over.

[Helicopter blade whirring]

[Beeping and whirring]

Come on, give it up.
It's my turn.

[Lexington] hang on.
You been hogging that game

Since we woke up.

That's 'cause I'm the only one
that knows how to work it.

Why do you want to learn
how to fly a helicopter?

You got wings.

Oh, you wouldn't understand.

Right. I'm just a big dumb
gargoyle with his brains
in his stomach.

-I couldn't have
said it better.
-[Goliath] that's enough.

You're warriors and
rookery brothers.

Elisa did not
give you this game

So you could fight
over it like children.

Sorry. Guess I'm a little
worried about elisa.

If cops were meant to fly
they'd have wings.

-Are they up there?
-Yes, sir.

Good. Let's go shopping.

There it is.
The coyote diamond.

Fox says it's the most valuable
stone on earth.

What's to stop us from
just grabbing it
and sh**ting our way free?

Style, dear sister, style.

And the fact that I don't want
to join wolf
and fox in prison.

So please try to restrain
your bloodlust.

I should have gone
to europe with dingo.

He knew how to have fun.

[Jackal] excuse me.

I was looking at that.

I'm sorry, but it's
just been purchased.

By whom, may I ask?

By mr. David xanatos,
of course.

It should look quite nice next
to the star of arabia.

That pompous twit.
He can't do that.

[Jackal] temper, temper.
It just means we'll have

-To steal it from him instead.
-[Man] excuse me.

Weren't you on that tv show,
the pack?

Why, yes.

Would you like
an autograph?

How about I write it across
your face?

-[Man shrieks]
-might as
well get in on the fun.

[Woman screams]

-[Crowd screaming]
-time to go, sis.

I don't take orders, brother.

Not even from you.

[Jackal] let's go.

Call the police, owen.

Brilliant. Now
the whole city'll
be looking for us.

Quit whining.

We planned for something
like this.

This is the police.

Stay where you are.

I don't think so.

We're toast.

You just made
your last mistake,
rich man.

[Elisa] hold it.

Drop the knives and
hit the deck.

Do it now!

Never a gargoyle around
when you need one, huh?

I saw you land that rig
without the rear rotor.
Impressive.

Yeah, well I didn't have
a lot of choice.

I wonder, would you
be interested in
a job with my company?

I need someone as a pilot
and personal bodyguard.

I can guarantee the job'll be
less risky than police work.

And I can probably
pay better, too.
Much better.

Uh well, th-that,
that is, i-i...

Think about it.

Nice meeting you.

Detective. Always a pleasure.

Ignore him, derek.

He's just using you
to annoy me.

Oh, right.

It couldn't possibly be that he
actually thought I was good.

You're not saying that you're
actually considering.

Hey, sis. Why don't you
use your cop instinct
to figure it out?

[Hyena hitting
the punching bag]

-New orders from fox.
-I don't wanna hear it.

Oh, yes, you do.
She says we get to waste
xanatos for interfering.

-[Laughs]
-[bell]

[Clock chimes]

He can't work for xanatos.
What am I gonna do?

-Tell him the truth.
-The truth? The whole truth?

Including the part
about gargoyles living in
new york?

-That's not my secret to tell.
-Shouldn't have to be.

-He should trust you.
-Trust doesn't mean

A whole lot without honesty.

Excuse me, but aren't we
missing the point here?

Jackal and hyena
are loose in the city.

We should be tracking
them down.

Derek is your brother,
elisa.

Tell him the truth.
Show us to him if necessary.

He must be made to believe.

Captain chavez told me
I'd find you here.

Listen, derek.

There's something you've
got to know.

There's something you should
know, too, elisa.

I've decided to take
xanatos' offer.

[Gasps]

[Elisa] can you believe it?

-He's quitting the force.
-Hate to see it happen.

Derek's a good cop.

I've got to make him
see that xanatos
is bad news.

Whatever he's got
planned for derek,
I know it isn't good.

You can convince him, elisa.
You're his big sister.

He always looked up to you.

I tried to tell him,
but he can be so stubborn.

You have to get
through to him.

Tell him it'll just
k*ll his mother

If he quits
the family business.

[Dog barking]

Of course you should quit,
if that's what
you really want to do.

I know dad and elisa
want me to stay on the force.

But it's just not what I want.

Honey, if you're not
happy then maybe
it's time for a change.

This job with xanatos
sounds like
a wonderful opportunity.

It could be the start of a
whole new career for me.

Then, go for it, derek.

Honey, it's your life.

Elisa and dad aren't
in charge of it. You are.

[Laughter]

[Elisa] close your eyes, boys.
I got business in here.

Oh, great.

Hey, detective.
How about some privacy, huh?

In a minute.

Listen, derek.
It wasn't just cop instinct.

Come with me
and I'll prove it.

Uh-uh, sis.

I've no doubt you can find
a snitch who'll tell me

That xanatos
is the prince of darkness.

He practically is.

Xanatos saved both our lives
the other night.

He deserves a chance
to prove himself,
and I deserve a chance

To do what I want with my life.

[Elisa] I just can't talk
sense to him.

He can't see that xanatos
is up to something.

-Is there anything we
can do to help?
-I'm glad you asked.

If you could keep an eye
on derek, for his own good.

You three. Station yourselves
near the castle

And watch for
any signs of trouble.

And please,
try to get along.

I can't see how we're doing
any good here.

We should be looking
for jackal and hyena.

Oh, give it a rest.
It's more important now that we
help elisa.

You wouldn't know
what's important
if it bit you on the--

Knock it off, you two.

Look.

[Helicopter blades whirring]

Let's go.

Try dodging this!

[Hyena laughs]

Hang on.

Get the copter under control.

I'll deal with our friends.

Rich man dead man.

Oh!

Boo!

Uh! Argh!

[Gasps]

Something's attacking
them.

Let's take advantage of
it and get out of here.

[Screams]

You sure you can fly this?

Hey, it's just like the
simulator game back
in the tower.

Famous last words.

[All scream]

Maybe not quite the same.

Thought you said
you could fly this thing.

If you think you can do
better, now's the time.

Feel the air currents.

Use 'em. Just like you do
with your wings.

Yeah, use the force, lex.

[Grunts]

[Car horn blaring]

[All scream]

[Tires screeching]

[Grunts]

Smooth.

Real smooth.

Hey, any landing you can walk
away from.

[Sighs]

[Brooklyn] what do we do
with it now?
Use it for a planter?

Um, maybe I can get
it running again.

Let's hide it for now
before the sun rises.

[Lexington] I think I can have
it airborne by tomorrow night.

Why would you want to?
What do we need
with a helicopter?

As long as derek is flying
xanatos' chopper,

We may need one
just to keep up.


I'll take over surveillance
of derek and xanatos
tomorrow night.

You three get the pack's
helicopter working.

Don't worry.
I'll tell you what has
to be done.

Oh, yeah?
You and what starfleet?

Elisa.
You must talk to derek.

You must tell him
the truth about us.

I'm not sure that'll be
enough now.

I need proof of whatever
xanatos is planning
to convince derek.

Bring him here.

When he sees us,
he will have the proof
he needs.

No, goliath.
It's gonna take more than that.

-Fox, I'm here to find out--
-i know why you're here.

David told me you'd come.
He created the pack, you know.

Got us together, me,
wolf, hyena, jackal,

Dingo. Put us on the air
and made us stars.

Then why are jackal
and hyena trying to k*ll him?

They don't know he's the boss.
Only I do.

David told me
to have them hit
the diamond exchange,

And then make himself
the next target.

He set up his
own assassination attempt.

-But why?
-He wants your brother.

And what david xanatos wants,
he gets.

So why are you telling me all
of this?

[Chuckles] because he left you
to rot in jail?

You haven't got a clue.

You're so far behind him
it's pathetic.
He told me to tell you.

He doesn't have
to hide his plans from you.

There's not
a thing you can do to stop him.

He's the most brilliant man
on the face of the earth.

[Fox] there's not a thing
you can do to stop him.

He's the most brilliant man
on the face of the earth.

Let's see how
brilliant he feels
when I play this for derek.

[Sighs] oh, goliath.
What are you doing here?

Derek and xanatos left
in the helicopter faster
than I could follow.

-They headed north.
-He's probably headed
for xanadu,

His upstate retreat.

Come on.

I hope lex
and the guys have got
the pack's chopper working.

[Broadway] this thing looks
like a flying junk pile.

Yeah? I suppose that
if you'd designed it
it'd be covered with food.

-We'll get there
in time, elisa.
-I hope so.

[Door opens]

That was excellent flying
last night.

I'm more convinced
than ever that
I was right to hire you.

I hope that sort of thing
isn't a nightly occurrence.

I might be safer back
with the nypd.

[Xanatos chuckles]

Let's just say that my life
is anything but dull.

Get down! I thought you said
this camp was secure.

I thought it was.

This is too easy.

Still think the armor
looks dumb?

-My eyes!
-Can't see!

It's jackal and hyena.

Take them out, quickly.

Come on.

[g*nf*re]

[Groans]

Where are you?

[Groans]

Uh! [Groans]

I'm not beaten yet.

[Elisa] oh, yes, you are.

Detective, I'm sure

Your brother was
more than capable
of handling the situation.

But thank you for your help
just the same.

Now you'd probably like
a private moment.

-So they are real.
-What do you mean?

I didn't tell you about them.

No. But xanatos did.

He showed me a videotape
of them,

But I still find it hard
to believe.

-Xanatos told you about them?
-Yes.

He said he tried
to help them
but they rejected him.

He also admitted he made
a few mistakes
in dealing with them.

-And with you.
-A few mistakes?

So you can give up trying
to get me to quit because it's
not going to happen.

-You have to quit.
He's using you.
-It's my life. Butt out.

Quiet, both of you.

You don't know how lucky
you are to have siblings
to fight with.

All of my rookery brothers
are dead.

And there is nothing,

Nothing more important
than family.

Oh, derek.

I've been wrong about
a lot this week.
You don't have to be a cop,

And you do have to
lead your own life.

But I wasn't wrong about
xanatos,

And I wouldn't be
a good sister

If I didn't give you this.

Listen to it or not.
It's your decision.
It's your life.

[Wind howling]

Hey, lex.

-Good job on the helicopter.
-Yeah.

That armor really did help.

I couldn't have done it
without you two.

[Wind howling]
