I, Frankenstein
(ENCHANTING MUSIC PLAYING)
(PANTING)
MONSTER:
I was cast intobeing in the winter of 1795.
A living corpse without a soul,
- stitched, jolted...
- (SCREAMS)
bludgeoned back to
life by a madman.
Horrified by his creation,
But I survived and found
my way back to him.
(ELIZABETH SCREAMS)
Elizabeth!
MONSTER:
A life for a life,that's what I wanted.
I took that of his
beloved new bride.
(GASPS)
He pursued me to the far north.
(WHIMPERS)
I was immune to the cold.
He was not.
(GRUNTS)
(PANTING)
I buried him in his
family cemetery.
It was more than he deserved.
I thought it was the end,
but it was actually
just the beginning.
(SCRAPING)
(GASPS)
- (GRUNTS)
- (SNARLS)
We have been waiting for you.
You will come with us.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GROANS)
(SNARLING)
(STRAINING)
(GROWLS)
(GROWLS)
(GRUNTS)
Stop! Naberius wanted
it brought back alive!
That was the last of them.
What do you suppose it was?
OPHIR:
I don't know.Never seen a human
kill a demon before,
and with such strength.
It's been a long time
since I've seen demons
this far north.
There must have been
something Naberius wanted.
"Victor Frankenstein."
The rumors are true.
- (GRUNTS)
- (GASPS)
H's alive.
- It's alive!
- (GASPS)
- (PANTING)
- (OPHIR SHUSHES)
Your Majesty!
No more than a wild
beast, Your Majesty.
Destroy it and be done with this.
So, you understand reason.
Where am I? How did I get here?
The creatures that attacked
you, what did they want?
- I don't know!
- We heard them speak of Naberius.
Seems he wants this thing alive.
all the more reason to destroy it.
No!
Gideon.
(GASPS)
"Him," not "it."
My name is Leonore, High
Queen of the Gargoyle Order.
This is Gideon,
my most trusted warrior.
You were attacked by four demons
under the command of a dark
prince called Naberius.
Fortunately, Ophir and
Keziah were on watch nearby.
They realized who you were
and brought you here,
to our home.
commanded into being
by the great Archangel Michael.
It is our sacred duty to wage
666 legions of
hell-spawned creatures
unleashed by Satan after
his fall from heaven.
Humans think of us
as mere decoration.
They do not know, nor could they
conceive of the brutal, unseen war
being fought around them every day.
A war that may one day
determine the very fate
of all mankind.
You have now been
drawn into this war.
(SCOFFS)
I care not for the world of man.
Yes, we've heard the
stories of you.
Shunned by your human
creator, lost and alone.
Until we learn why
Naberius wants you,
I ask that you stay with us,
safe within these hallowed walls.
I go my own way.
Your Majesty, this thing murdered
Victor Frankenstein's wife.
All in the heat of passion,
driven by emotions he was
never taught to control.
He may be more human
than he realizes.
I understand Frankenstein
never offered you a name.
I should like to call you
Adam.
I promise you this, Adam.
Each of us has a higher purpose.
Yours has simply yet
to reveal itself.
These are but some of the scapulars
of our fallen brothers and sisters.
We have always been
outnumbered in battle.
Now, after many
hard-fought victories,
our ranks have thinned.
OPHIR:
Demons, however, remain strong.
To help you survive against them,
provide you with weapons.
Demons can only be
descended by sacramentals,
blessed objects such as the
crucifix or holy water.
Any object can be made
sacramental by marking them
with the blessed symbol
of the Gargoyle Order.
Descended?
When a demon is killed
where it remains trapped
for all eternity.
How do you descend a gargoyle?
We are sacramental beings of
light and good. We ascend.
And only at the hands of godless
creatures that have no souls.
(METALLIC CLUNKING)
You do not want those.
They are blunt and crude,
and far too heavy to wield.
Adam, you have strength
and speed and stamina
far beyond that of any human.
Take sides in a war that
you are already a part of.
(SCOFFS)
I do not care how many
demons it descended.
You should've let me destroy it.
I am not blind to the risks.
The fact is, Adam is alive,
and all life is sacred.
- It is not human born.
- Neither are we, Gideon.
Here.
Lock this in the vault.
It must never fall
into Naberius' hands.
It is but a book, Your Majesty.
It is written proof that God is now
no longer the sole creator of man.
Adam.
If ever you should
change your mind,
you will always find refuge here.
(EXHALES)
mistake you only make once.
And so I resolved to seek out
the farthest corners of the earth
where no human,
demon or gargoyle
would ever find me.
So many years passed,
I lost track of time,
yet I did not grow old
and die, as humans do.
Victor Frankenstein's final curse.
I thought Naberius'
demons had forgotten me.
But I was wrong.
(THUNDER BOOMING)
And I unleashed all
my rage upon them.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
- (SNARLS)
- (GRUNTS)
I had hidden long enough.
Now I would hunt those
who were hunting me.
I returned to the place
I had left so long ago.
in the time I had been gone.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
But some things had not changed.
me in the wilderness,
it was only a matter of time
before they found me here.
Which is why I had
to find them first.
(CAR HORNS HONKING IN DISTANCE)
(SNARLS)
Naberius, where is he?
Police!
Put down your weapon!
- (GROWLS)
- (CRACKING)
(PANTING)
Good evening, Mr. Wessex.
Where does life begin
and where does it end?
