X-Men (1992) s04e02 Episode Script

One Man's Worth (2)

NARRATOR: Previously on X-MEN If we could time travel without you, mutant, we would.
I do not trust you, Fitzroy, so Nimrod will join your trip across time to make sure you perform the task.
You must get help and stop them, before they change time forever.
Let's do it! - What is that? - XAVIER: I have no idea! - Are you okay, darling? - What was that? BISHOP: We're too late! While were traveling, Fitzroy and Nimrod already nailed Xavier and changed everything.
We have to go back, rescue Xavier, and keep this from happening.
Who is Charles Xavier? And what are X-Men? We must touch base in our time first, before the portal can send us further back.
We must hurry.
If the time change has already hit 2055, all of our efforts will be for nothing.
- Ready, Logan? - Let's go.
Time travel? Parallel futures? Mutants and assassins? You can't expect me to believe all this! Moose! Rocco! Get them! - Keep them away from Xavier! - My pleasure.
(GRUNTING) SHARD: He's gone! Spread out! We've got to find him before Fitzroy does! Electronic fuse! What in the world? No! We must get Xavier! Fitzroy planted a bomb! Xavier never had a chance! That's it.
It's over.
And it's your fault! Because of your stupidity, everyone I know might no longer exist.
No no-neck redneck dumps on my wife and gets away with it.
There they are! They're the ones that wrecked my joint.
Now they're blowing up the college! COP 1: Let's get those guys.
COP 2: Yeah.
- Bad time to mess with me.
- No! I have a better way.
Whirlwind from the heavens, engulf these misguided souls! (SCREAMING) (THUNDER CRACKING) We have to go back to my time and hope that Forge and his time portal still exist.
Then we can come back minutes before this time - and set things right.
- I'm off this merry-go-round.
Take me and Storm back to where you found us.
Fighting for Magneto wasn't so bad.
I don't even know this Xavier guy.
The future of their world rests in our hands.
I know you too well to think we could ever let them down.
(SIGHS) - Just my luck - Time to go! (SCREAMING) (ALL MUTTERING) (GASPS) We made it.
This is our new world? It's huge! It's nothing like when we left.
Big deal.
The machine seems to work fine.
Let's dig up that Forge guy again and get moving.
If he still exists.
Intruders! Get away! You are not authorized! - Forge! - What now? (ALARM BLARING) Calm down, man.
Cut that alarm.
We're resistance like you.
Resistance? What is that? What are you talking about? The resistance is people, mutants, thousands of them, fighting against Mastermold and his Sentinels! You're crazy! What world did you come from? No one fights the Master.
Easy, Bishop.
He's not to blame for any of this.
Nobody ever is.
You sent us back in time to prevent a killing.
Don't you remember? No one has traveled yet.
It is not permitted.
I am still testing the portal.
I have never seen any of you before.
STORM: None of this matters.
We have a job to do.
Don't! They will know! Come on, old man.
Who could scare you worse than I can? FORGE: Enforcers! SHARD: Take cover! (SCREAMS) (GRUNTING) (YELLS) (GRUNTS) Hold on, darling.
I'm here.
No! Please! I've been loyal to the Master! (SCREAMS) They don't care about you! In another time, you were my friend! Help us, and we can save you! (SCREAMING) All right.
Tell me what you need.
Come on, our armbands have the coordinates.
Come on, darling.
(GROWLING) (GRUNTING) (SHOUTING) (SCREAMING) - Set it! - It's damaged.
- So fix it! - But they'll send more Enforcers! Then you better fix it fast.
Let's go! The portal was damaged in the fight.
He's working on it! He better hurry.
'Cause if we end up stuck here, he's gonna get to know these up close and personal.
FITZRO Y: Everything went smoothly.
Because of what I've accomplished, you are now the undisputed ruler of your world.
(BEEPING) Xavier's followers won't be bothering you anymore.
If I believe you.
And what of the others? Others? What others? The mutants you battled were time travelers.
Whatever changes were made to our world by your mission, those four were untouched.
Like you, they existed outside of time.
(LAUGHS MALICIOUSLY) What harm could four measly mutants do? ELEC TRONIC VOICE: Alert! Alert! Transport building security measures ineffective! Unregistered mutants still active.
Obliterate them! If they should escape, they will travel back in time to undo your work! Make sure that doesn't happen.
Destroy Forge and his time machine! I will take no chances! If you fail, do not bother to return.
Come on, stupid! Wait, Nimrod.
I have one more thing to discuss.
We're gonna die.
- I'm weary of all mutants - Shut up, before I even those useful as slaves.
After they've destroyed the time machine, eliminate Fitzroy and Bantam.
- I told you! - Come on.
WOLVERINE: What's the hold-up? FORGE: The machine was severely damaged.
- I'll try.
- You'll have to do better than that.
- I just need a little more time.
- Don't take all day.
(LOUD THUDDING) (GRUNTING) (GROWLING) WOLVERINE: Going down! Thanks.
Whirlwind, take him from us! We're going to make it! WOLVERINE: Tell that to Nimrod! (GRUNTS) Back at you, lowlife! Where's Forge? Fitzroy! It's that mutant traitor! BISHOP: Huh? FITZRO Y: Duck! This will explain everything.
I just want (SCREAMS) Fitzroy! Fitzroy! Hurry! It's working! We must help Fitzroy! It's too late for him! Jump! (SCREAMS) Kid! (GRUNTING) I can't make it.
Go.
No, I won't! If your mission is successful, I'll be fine.
So will Forge.
- It's too late! - Shard, please! Hit your armband! Go.
SHARD: Forge.
Can you hear me? Forge.
Did they make it? (GRUNTING) Here we go again.
- Where's Shard? - She didn't make it.
Tough break, pal.
I know she was your friend.
- She was my sister.
- I am sorry.
We didn't know.
She knew the risks.
But I'm not counting her out yet.
I plan on seeing her again, 'cause this time, we're not gonna mess up.
We got a few minutes.
Let's see what Fitzroy gave us.
By the time you see this, I will no longer exist.
Nobody busts up my place.
Moose! Rocco! Get them! - Keep them away from Xavier! - My pleasure.
(ALL SHOUTING) (SCREAMING) (GRUNTS) We are not here to hurt you.
Bad listening.
Professor? He's gone! It's all so unreal.
- Hey! - Be quiet! Your life is in danger.
Look, pal, if we wanted to hurt you, we would have done it already.
So, are you coming quietly, or do you wanna make some noise? (GROANS) You did it again, Logan.
I'm sorry, darling.
XAVIER: Time travel? Parallel futures? Mutants and assassins? You can't expect me to believe all this! What is happening? I'm blown up here, in this lab? Not if we can help it, bub.
Fitzroy is the man who assassinated you.
He won't be so lucky next time.
You can't expect me to believe all this! Read our minds if you doubt us.
You're telling the truth! But one of you does not wish your mission to succeed.
You! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your head off! I feel the way I feel, bub.
That don't mean I'd turn traitor! Fitzroy! (GASPS) - Charles? - Cindy, I'm so sorry.
My friends scared you.
Who are they? What do they want? They're here to help me.
(SNIFFS) - You got a problem? - Yeah.
Nimrod! (GRUNTS) (YELLS) My turn! Got you! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (YELLING) (GRUNTS) XAVIER: Such power and destruction! What was that? STORM: The future's most horrible living weapon.
He will quickly reconstruct.
Let's see what you had for breakfast! (SCREAMS) You're history! You gonna heal your way out of this? - Give me a minute.
- Is everyone okay? - Yeah! - FITZRO Y: Guess again, Bishop! - Fitzroy! - In 60 seconds, no more Xavier! Get Xavier out of here! (GRUNTING) FITZRO Y: And ruin the fun? - You must let us go! - And why must I? If you do not, you will cease to exist! (LAUGHING) Get serious! I just cashed in, big.
She's dead serious, mutant.
I know this is crazy, Fitzroy, but I am you.
And I'm begging you, do not kill Xavier! If you do, Mastermold will become all powerful and he will destroy you and Bantam! History will be altered! Destroy Bantam? Not a good idea! Look there.
It is ourselves on our first trip back, trying to stop you.
Do you believe your own warning now? How do I know Mastermold will betray me if Xavier dies? Wait a few seconds and find out.
- Do something, Fritzy! - All right! Smart move.
(SHRILL BEEP) And if we get out of here alive, don't ever pull a stunt like this again! Time to go! Time to go! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Time to go home! It would seem that we have overstayed our welcome.
Sorry, pal.
You'll be fine in a day or two.
I hate this! It's incredible how one kid could mean so much to so many people.
What now? With him alive, we ain't even supposed to exist.
I don't know.
Why are we still here? As long as your armbands are on you and functioning, you'll both exist outside of time.
How long? Sorry.
The charge only lasts a couple of days.
- It was good, darling.
- It was the best, tough guy.
I love you, Logan.
Don't you leave me.
(SCREAMING) - What was that? - Beats me.
You think we could just attract ants like normal people! Thanks for the tumble, Storm.
We ought to wrestle more often.
Now, Logan, some women might think that you were flirting.
(CHUCKLES) Lucky you know me better than that.
We will never know.
Skip the small talk, Sinister.
You've got us.
We don't have to listen to your drivel.
MR.
SINISTER: With this device, I can imprint portions of the genetic code from any mutant into another, increasing their powers in unpredictable but stunning ways.
Do it, Sinister! But shut up and be quick about it.
Speak bravely, Magneto, while you can.
