All language subtitles for Gargoyles -02 x14 -

(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 a thousand years.

Now, here in Manhattan...

the spell is broken,
and we live again!

We are defenders of the night.

We are gargoyles-.

Previously on "Gargoyles":

Marry me. We're
genetically compatible...

highly intelligent...

This board hereby
grants you an early parole.

And have the same goals.

Take 'em down.

- True. But what about... love?
- I think we love each other.

As much as two people such as
ourselves are capable of that emotion.

Proposal accepted.

Cyberbiofics has
christened it the “Fortress ll.“

As this magnificent vessel
prepares for its maiden voyage,

I wonder if it will sufier the
same fate as the "Fortress I,"

which, you may recall,
crashed into {he river last year.

Although Halcyon Renard, the reclusive
CEO of Cyberbiotics, was not available,

his right-hand man, Preston
Vogel, has consented In an interview.

Travis, that crash you spoke of
was the result of corporate espionage.

Espionage fl1at succeeded only
because of {he previous crew's human error.

Cyberbiofics' technology
has remedied that problem.

“Fortress ll“ is automated and manned
only by our newly patented Cybots.

No humans aboard at all?

After tonight's test
flight, human scientists

will occupy its
research labs, of course.

But there is no human crew,
except for Mr. Renard and myself.

One last question:

is it true that Renard has invested
his entire fortune into the "Fortress II,"

and if it doesn't perform he and
Cyberbiofics will be wiped out?

That's two questions, Mr. Marshall.
And the interview is over.

This is Travis Marshall,
coming to you live...

- No need to turn it off on my account.
- No big deal, David.

I know what happens next.

Mr. Renard, the Cybots
are ready for launch.

Stay out of their way. We don't want this
test compromised for any reason, Vogel.

Goliath, are you sure
this is necessary?

There is no
underestimating Xanatos.

He was devious enough to trick
me into attacking the first airship.

I've explained the strengths
and weaknesses of each fortress

and given you what I think
are the best plans of attack.

Only your speed and strength
can stand against their defenses.

We will take the air fortress.

The disk will be
well-guarded, no doubt.

If humans wish to throw away
their worthless lives guarding it,

that's their concern.

This way.

Stations One and Two have been breached.
We've lost two thirds of the data.

Wrong. You've lost it all.

(cries of fear)

Argh!

Who... What are you?

Mission accomplished.

Who can say what he may
have in mind for this one?

I'm going to follow
along, just to be safe.

I understand.

(sighs) Just be
careful out there.

(beeping)

On... on our tail, sir. We have
a... I don't know what we have.

This is not entirely unexpected.
Activate Cybot security.

Urgh!

You need not attack
me. I am not your enemy!

How do you reason with machines?

Urgh!

That stings.

Urgh! Argh!

(swans)

(mars)

Argh!

At last I get to see one of Gen-U-Tech's
abominable creations in the flesh.

Xanatos and his lab rats
must be proud indeed.

I am not a creation! My name
is Goliath and I belong to no one.

Especially not Xanatos.

(laughs)

No, no, of course not.

Why am I being held here?

As long as you're my prisoner, I know you
can't destroy Fortress II for your master.

I told you, I serve no master!

Oh, is that so?

Last year, when you and your
fellow creature destroyed Fortress I,

I suppose that was just
a wild night on the town?

It was not my fault. I
was duped by Xanatos.

He led me to believe you and Cyberbiotics
stole research from his company.

"Not my fault"? "Not my fault"?

You sound like every
human employee I ever fired.

Crush them all together, you couldn't
squeeze an iota of integrity from the lot.

No excuses, creature.

Learn to take responsibility for
your own actions and stop whining!

A gargoyle doesn't whine.

He roars!

I am trembling in my chair.

Arrrgh!

My fault, sir. I should have had the Cybots
deposit him in our maximum security cell.

Well, it's refreshing to hear someone
take responsibility for a mistake.

Just see that the
situation is corrected.

- (beeping)
- I'm sorry, sir.

Take your call, Mr. Vogel.
I'll be resting in my cabin.

- Yes, sir.
- (beeping)

You're sure it's safe to talk?

Mr. Renard never intrudes on my privacy.
I've always respected him for that.

You've confirmed that the down
payment was wired to your Swiss account?

Affirmative. The operation will
commence tonight as planned.

- With one minor alteration.
- I don't like surprises, Vogel.

This one you won't mind. You
might say it fell right out of the sky.

The perfect candidate
to take the blame.

If only I could make you
understand that Xanatos is to blame!

(Renard) Oh, you're not the first
poor soul Xanatos has corrupted.

Owen Burnett. Anton Sevarius.

They were both
Cyberbiotics employees,

and they are the least of what
that viper has stolen from me.

I've no doubt he was behind the attack
and don't doubt he tricked you into it.

You believe I am not responsible,
yet I remain your prisoner.

Who said you're not responsible? It
doesn't matter that you were tricked.

You know now that your
actions inflicted grievous damage.

Do you take responsibility
for them or not?

Well? What are you going to do?

A better question might be:
what are you going to do?

' Aha! " 00f!"

Urgh! Mmmh!

- Ha!
- Ya ha!

I QYax 'QM!

You seem distracted.
Having second thoughts?

- About that last kick?
- About Renard.

Ha!

If your hostile takeover succeeds,
he'll be completely wiped out.

- He's not a young man.
- Oh, he'll manage. He always has.

Huh!

If all goes well, Cyberbiotics
will be mine by morning.

(phone rings)

We'll celebrate over breakfast.

Xanatos here.

It's your doctor.
With test results?

Didn't I mention them? I
suppose it slipped my mind.

This is voice override 'VT-RS.

You will deactivate
for a matrix upgrade.

Reactivate.

Resume normal function.

What would be the
honorable thing to do?

I suppose I should turn
you over to the authorities.

Look at me, human. I'll spend the
rest of my life as a laboratory specimen.

Was my crime against you so heinous
to make that an equitable punishment?

(chuckles) We're
making progress.

You finally acknowledge
you committed a crime.

No more excuses. I accept
full responsibility for my actions.

I was wrong.

I'm glad you're...
gargoyle enough to admit it.

(sighs) It was not easy.

Integrity is never easy. It's a
daily struggle, a costly struggle.

If you only knew
what it cost me...

My Anastasia. My Janine.

My angel of the night.

Well. Perhaps you
do know after all.

I knew I ewe you a great debt
fer the mistake I made a year age.

And a greater debt for
the education tonight.

If the text was not new to me,
it was at least worth... revisiting.

I appreciate your...

- Do they do that often?
- Never, to my knowledge.

Mr. Vogel, something odd is
going on with {he Cybots here.

Sir, it's happening
all over the ship.

The Cybots have completely taken
over. They've changed our heading.

Changed our heading? To where?

Out into the bay, sir.
On a direct collision

course with the
Cyberbiotics Tower.

- What?
- There's only one possible explanation.

The creature! He must have
brought the virus aboard with him.

He let himself be captured
so he could destroy your ship.

- But... how?
- I don't know.

But we must abandon ship
and activate the self-destruct,

or both installations will be destroyed
and Cyberbiotics will be history!

If I lose this ship,
Cyberbiotics is ruined anyway!

I'm truly sorry, sir.

You can place the blame on me if
you must, but now we have no choice.

At our present velocity, we'll
hit the lower in seven minutes.

They could never fully
evacuate it in that little time.

You have six minutes to
meet me at the escape pod.

After that, I will jettison

and use my access
code to destroy Fortress II.

How can this be happening?

What Vogel said about me...
You have to know it's not true.

All I know is, I'm
about to be wiped out!

It doesn't have to be that
way. I can break these chains...

but only you can
get me past the bars.

I helped destroy Fortress I.
Let me help you save Fortress II.

Heaven help us both.

- I can't override them!
- I can.

Time's running out. We've got
to reach the command center.

Lead the way.

Foolish old man. Well, if he thinks he can
save the ship, he couldn't be more wrong.

All Cybots, this is
voice override VT-RQ.

Isolate Mr. Renard and gently
force him to the escape-pod bay.

If the creature gets
in your way, destroy it!

This is intolerable. We can't fight
every Cybot on this ship one at a time.

We have to shut them
all down, simultaneously.

You'll find a power source here. If you
destroy it, they'll all go offline at once.

But who will be left to
alter the ship's course?

Leave that to me.

Mr. Renard, please. I'd rather not
have your death on my conscience,

but I cannot allow this ship to
collide with a tower full of people.

You'll never reach
the bridge. But turn left,

and you'll find my
escape pod still waiting.

You have two minutes until
impact. One minute before I detonate.

Mr. Vogel, I don't want
any innocents hurt.

If I can't turn this boat around in time,
you have my permission to destroy it.

But you and I built
this ship together.

If it goes down, I'm
going down with it.

Outstanding! He did it.

Vogel, bless you, you've
given me extra time.

Oh, no...

So near and yet so
far, eh, Mr. Renard?

It must have slipped your mind two men
are required for an emergency override.

Mr. Vogel, I knew you
wouldn't let me down.

Yes, well... You have
that effect on people.

Now we've got 8.5 seconds to
execute a 60-degree turn. Let's proceed.

Very well, Mr. Vogel. I will
initiate full throttle on your signal.

Yes!

- (growls)
- Oh, dear.

It's all right, Goliath. We
did it. Collision averted.

And I believe I owe you an apology for
accusing you of sabotaging the Cybots.

Actually, sir, I... I've something
of a confession to make.

A full confession.

Well, it seems Mr. Vogel's betrayal
has only provided further proof

that the human species
is devoid of integrity.

I disagree. If anything,
Vogel's sabotage

demonstrates the folly of placing all of
one's trust in single-minded automatons.

Automatons know nothing
of betrayal, or honor.

They know only what they
are programmed to know.

Only living beings possess the ability
to change and make new choices.

Ultimately, Vogel chose honor.

Hah! I suppose he did, at that.

You've given me
much to consider.

But one thing I am sure of: your
debt to me has been paid in full.

A ship for a ship. We are even.

No.

We are friends.

Yes. Friends.

(Renard) Hello, Janine.

Hello, Daddy.

Almost got you
that time, didn't I?

Yes. But why?

I built this company for you.

I'd have given it to you, if you
hadn't married that villain Xanatos.

I'd probably still give it to you, if you'd
just stand up and ask me for it honestly.

Oh, Daddy. You and your integrity.
Asking for it wouldn't be any fun at all.

And fun is still more
important to you than honor.

I can't understand that.

Well, maybe you'll have better
luck relating to the next generation.

- What? What are you...
- That's right, Daddy.

You're going to
be a grandfather.
