Hellboy II: The Golden Army

My son, will you turn off that wretched puppet!

Brush your teeth.

Don't call him a puppet!

I beg your pardon?

Look, he is not a puppet.

Howdy Doody is real.

- Really.

- Mr Di-Di-Do-Do -

- Have to say good night.

Remember you have to be asleep -

- when he comes down the chimney.

It's not even a chimney, Pap.

He has his ways.

- Then I will wait up? Watch him do it

- Nonsens.

Okay, I want a story then.

- No stories tonight.

- Just one.

And then I'll go to bed right away.

And then I brush my teeth.

I promise.

It is said that at the dawn of time -

- man, beast and all magical beings -

- Lived together under Aidlin

- The Fathertree.

But man had been created with a hole in his heart.

A hole that no possession, power -

or knowledge could fill.

And in his infinite greed -

- man dreamt of expanding his dominion -

- over the entire Earth.

The blood of many an elf, oger and gobelin -

-was spilt in that war whith man.

And King Balor, the king of Elfland -

- watched the slaughter with dread and despair.

But one day, the master of the goblin blacksmiths -

- offered to build the King a golden mechanical army.

- and could not be stopped.

Prince Nuada begged his father to agree.

Build me this army the King said.

So a magical crown was forged -

- that would allow those of royal blood to command

the Golden Army if unchalenged.

I am King Balor, the leader of the Golden Army.

Is there anyone who disputes my right?

And in his throne room no one challenged his word.

But wait, what if someone chalenge him?

Would they have a fight?

Most likely, a challenge must be answered -

- But do you want to hear the end of the story or not?

- Yes, please.

The world was changed, -

- And next time the humans marched, -

- they felt the earth tremble beneath their feet -

and saw the sky darken

with monstrous shapes.

And the Golden Army had no remorse.

Felt no loyalty or pain.

And King Balor's heart

grew heavy with regret.

So he called a truce -

- and divided the crown in three pieces.

One for the humans

and two for himself.

ln exchange man would keep

to the cities -

- and the magical beings would own the forests.

This truce would be honoured by their sons -

- and the sons of their sons -

- until the end of time.

But Prince Nuada did not believe

in the promises of man.

And it is said he went into exile -

- vowing to return,

the day his people needed him most.

So the Golden Army lay dormant -

- locked inside the earth...

Waiting.

And there it is to this day -

awaiting the day the crown

is made whole again.

Silent ...

Still ...

...and indestructible.

What does it mean ''indestruble''?

Indestructible..

Means no one can destroy them.

Go to sleep, my son.

It is just a story, right Paps?

- Is it now?

- Yes, come on.

Those guys they can't be real.

Well, my son.

I am sure you'll find out.

Sit down!

Proud, empty, hollow things that you are!

Let this remind you

why you once feared the dark.

We have to talk.

TOP SECRE:

Undercover.

Can't he get the meaning of the word?

Look, we are still government funded -

- we are still a secret although

a dirty secret, if you ask me -

Officially we do not exist.

You see, so that's the problem,

when we get these.

Subway.

Highway.

The park!

And he posed for this one.

And given autograph.

I supress each photo -

- cellphone videos, it cost me a fortune, -

- and they show up on You tube.

I hate You tube.

He just want the world outside

to know what we do.

What he does.

He loaths me.

- I don't think so.

- No?

- Target practice.

- Oh dear.

And then he posts them around.

Do you know how that makes me feel?

What's going on?

- It's Friday.

- I tell you he hates me.

He's out to destroy me.

My street cred is low.

- Street cred?

- My mojo.

Washington, they are wondering if I got the ?stuff.

Do you think I have an easy job?

Do you think I enjoy ...

... being a ...

... pain in a neck?

I am medicated.

This is not a candy.

It's an anti acid.

Yes, it's over-the-counter medicine...

... but it is medicine.

I am worried, because ...

... I am, we are -

- after all just humble ...

... humble servants.

It's not about you.

He is acting out.

- Things are a little tense with Liz.

- Tense?

How tense?

Tense how?

You know. The usual.

A new couple. Making adjustments.

- They argue.

- They argue?

- Sometimes. Like everybody else.

They have good days

and bad days.

Hey Abe.

Manning.

Watch it boys. She is on fire.

Then again, there are the really bad days.

I am not afraid of you, you know.

You should be. Look at this mess.

- Look around.

- I have one rule.

Don't touch my stuff.

- Oh, I get it.

- That's your rule. - One only-

- I'm easy.

How's that even possible

everything is your stuff, the same CD, LP.

You can't listen to Al Green on CD.

- It is good to keep.

One day the world gonna realize the mistake.

A track was the way to go.

Come on,kids.

Come on now.

That's right. It's all over.

What about me Red.

I need some space.

At least enough for my toothbrush.

Toothbrush?

Wait a minute.

It's right there.

Red ...

I can't live like this.

Oh, damn!

Gotta go. We all gotta go.

It's an emergency, right?

Let's go!

Jeez, it's Manning.

Watch your stuff, Liz.

- Listen ...

- Manning.

- We're going downtown Manhattan.

- That'll be fun.

Downtown. Very dangerous.

Dangerous for you -

- and for me.

I know you dream of

the outside world, but trust me -

- it's not that great.

It's savage ... as a matter of fact.

- And bad.

- Come on, guys!

These ...

on the other hand-

- are good.

Cuban.

- Being seen ...

- Bad.
