Gargoyles · Season 1
[Looking at some smashed statues.] It's like the massacre at Castle Wyvern.
Has Demona learned nothing? Every life is precious.
[picking up some rubble] One of these could be Elisa-
-NEVER! We are going to stop Demona's evil... Once and for all!
: Yes. She must be stopped.
: But remember your own words, Goliath. Every life is precious.
: Take care not to become what you fight against. Vengence begets only a further cycle of more vengence.
Then you were partners in this sorcery.
I wanted to believe what she promised so I gave her access to the studio.
YOU FOOL! I should make you pay for all the lives she destroyed.
Do you want vengeance or a solution? This is bigger than either of us has ever faced. We'll have to work together to stop her. Truce?
[Exhales] Agreed. [Shakes Xanatos's hand]
[In a parallel of a scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth, King Duncan and Macbeth, with their sons Canmore and Luach, encounter the Weird Sisters on a moor.]
Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
All hail Duncan, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!
All hail Macbeth, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!
You speak treason, you old crone!
You are but half right, good mothers. Duncan is the true and proper king.
King now, he is, but each of you shall in turn be king.
I say ye nay weird sisters. Prince Canmore is destined to be king after Duncan.
You would lecture us on fate?
What is Elisa doing here?
She doesn't look too happy.
Owen sometimes has that effect on people.
We must find another lair!
The hunting there was good.
Yes. But we are still the prey!
[Watching Demona in battle] You fight like a demon.
Time for a little family reunion, cousin!
NO! This I must do!
You brought this on yourself, cousin, I was loyal.
You have a strange way of showing it.
You are the cause of all this. [Charges at Demona with a knife] You-you monster!
[Demona grabs his wrist and throws away the knife] Macbeth has spared your life, boy. Don't throw it away!
Humans will learn to respect you.
I would rather they fear me.
They'll do that too, Demona.
"Demona"... I like the sound of that.
[To Xanatos] Demona's broadcast originated from Pack Media Studios. You own it! So, as usual, this is all your fault!
Mr. Xanatos is trying to fix things. What are you doing to help?
[Elisa tries to move past Owen, but he block her path, the Sun sets and they both turn to stone]
That's one way to settle an argument.
But first, I'll take care of some. I thought I'd rid myself of you long ago, human. Fortunately, that mistake is easily rectified.
No one, Demona? You've forgotten about me. With all the inhabitants of this city frozen in stone, it wasn't hard to spot all those robots and gargoyles taking off from the world's tallest building. So I investigated and found exactly who I was looking for.
You're too late. You can't save them. No one can!
I'm not here for them. I'm here for you. I want it over between us!
I wear this as a reminder of your treachery.
Let's not start that again. You blame me, I blame you. Aren't you tired of talking about it?
I'm not here to talk.
Then what? You know the rules. Killing me will gain you nothing but your own death.
After this long a lifetime, I have no fear of that, and no desire to live in the kind of world you're creating. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, Demona. And I have waited nine hundred years for this meal.
No! Killing her won't solve anything! Death never does.
He's right, Macbeth. Duncan was afraid that your father would make you king. Did your father's death stop you from becoming king?
No!
You wanted revenge for your father. Did Gillecomgain's death settle that score?
No.
Did your own death save your son Luach from Canmore?
No...
Death is never the answer. Life is.
I'm just so tired...
Then sleep, Macbeth.
I will have vengeance for the betrayal of my clan, vengeance for my pain.
But who betrayed your clan?
And who caused this pain?
The Vikings destroyed my clan.
Who betrayed the castle to the Vikings?
The Hunter hunted us down.
Who created the Hunter?
Canmore destroyed the last of us.
Who betrayed MacBeth to Canmore?
Your thirst for vengeance has only created more sorrow. End the cycle, Demona. Give us the code.
[dejected] The access code is... "alone."
