Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e06 Episode Script
X-Calibre
LOGAN: Previously on Wolverine and the X-Men.
[SCREAMS.]
Come on and help me out.
You're an X-Man, do it yourself.
Kurt! [GASPS.]
Charles.
BEAST: I have confirmed that the explosion was indeed centered on Charles's position.
So he was the likely target.
I've gotta fix this and I want you with me.
BEAST: Why don't you ask the others? WOLVERINE: What others? I don't know where anyone is.
All right, the X-Men are back.
Well, kind of.
It's just us.
Oh, but what about Kitty? Couldn't you catch her before she left? WOLVERINE: You know where she is? BOBBY: She told me she's heading to Genosha.
EMMA: I can find Professor Xavier for you.
WOLVERINE: Where is he? Genosha.
He appeared on my island one week ago.
We found him like this on our coastline.
His place is with you.
However, I wish you would consider making Genosha your home.
No more violence, no more-- Yeah, we've seen the billboards.
Thanks, but no thanks.
[.]
This was a mistake.
Why did we do this? What choice did we have? We couldn't stay.
At least in Genosha we'll have a chance to live our lives.
We'll never make it to Genosha.
Yes, we will.
[RUSTLING.]
GIRL: Wait.
Something is out there.
I sense-- It's massive.
Captain, eight of the mutants are sick.
We've gotta turn back.
We've weathered worse.
But we would have avoided this storm if we hadn't diverted to Genosha.
We got no business transporting mutants.
No, but we do have business-- Good business.
Other ships are raking it in ferrying freaks to that island.
So why not us? We're a cargo ship and we're two days off course.
[BEEPING.]
What is that? Oh, no.
[BOTH SCREAM.]
[.]
[WHIMPERS.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLS.]
[CRACKS JOINTS.]
Run program Brawler, Level 10.
COMPUTER: Warning, level 10 is unauthorized.
Override.
Let's go.
[SCREAMS.]
Freeze program.
So Bobby said you wanted to see me? Ah, yes, but not now.
[SIGHS.]
Fine.
Last night Cerebro got a hit on Nightcrawler's position.
Finally.
Where has that guy been? Who knows? But right now he's somewhere in the city moving around a lot.
So go help Hank with the search.
Glad to.
Resume program.
Captain Gruber? I'm-- No names.
Aren't you going to count it? I will.
At sea.
You better hope it's all there.
GRUBER: and don't show up here again unless you've got the cash, freak.
[PANTING.]
MAN: Animal.
[CRIES OUT.]
MAN: He went this way! MAN 2: Get him! [CROWD YELLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[PANTING.]
MAN: Mutant! MAN 2: Demon! Freak! Monster! He's in here.
[.]
Excuse me, sir.
You're supposed to stay in the hold.
I know, but everyone is wondering when the food will arrive.
[LAUGHS.]
You people are priceless.
You paid for passage, not meals! Now, get back in there.
MAN: Yeah, the Avalon's all right, I guess.
I've been on worse.
Just be glad we didn't ship out on the Ellis.
Why? What's wrong with the Ellis? You didn't hear? On their way to Genosha, they got stripped and dipped.
By who? Pirates.
And the crew floated all night before any rescuers showed up.
Oh, man! Okay, let's tell the men chow's ready.
[WIND GUSHES.]
[SNIFFS.]
Do you smell that? It smells like food! [SNORING.]
Huh? What the-- Hey.
MAN: Hey, what's going on? What do you mean, vanished? Gone in a puff of smoke.
The whole table, food and all.
Same with the bedding.
Seems we got us a mutant dissatisfied with the guest accommodations.
Sammy? You know you're not supposed to be up on deck.
Now, come on.
Aw.
Hurry it up.
Thank you for the food and blankets.
You're welcome.
You're Nightcrawler, aren't you? One of the X-Men.
Yes, but you can call me Kurt.
Well, I'm Squidboy.
Well, I-- I'm really Sammy, but you can call me Squidboy.
That would be my X-Man name if you-- You know.
If what? Well, if my powers didn't stink and all.
You know what? When I was your age, I felt the same way about my abilities.
But your powers are so cool.
All I can do is breathe underwater.
Ah, yes, but on a leaky boat like this, I wish I could breathe underwater.
You'd better get below with your mother, all right? Okay.
Kurt? I'm glad that you're onboard.
Oh! Mom! Mom, what's going on? The captain wants to see us.
GRUBER: We've had some thefts.
And on my ship thievery is a punishable offense.
But when the thief hides, the punishment goes to everyone else.
Tell me who it is! I don't know.
That's too bad.
No! No! [SCREAMS.]
How about you? [GASPS.]
No.
Oh! Show yourself! A moment of your time, Herr Capitan.
[CAPTAIN SCREAMS.]
Let's be clear, yeah? You've been paid well to transport these mutants to Genosha.
That means you'll feed them and care for them, and if you refuse I will drop you right here.
[CRIES OUT.]
Okay okay.
Anything you want.
I-- I-- I promise.
Wunderbar.
[GRUNTS.]
We've come to an understanding.
[CHEERING.]
[WATER GUSHING.]
[.]
Pirates.
We're here for the mutants.
Find the good ones.
The rest go down with the ship.
What do you got? We think we know where Kurt is.
Look at the security footage from the docks.
What's he doing on a cargo ship? Similar vessels have lucrative side businesses transporting mutants to Genosha.
I can't believe the elf would be headed to Genosha.
There's more to it, Logan.
Those ships have fallen under attack by pirates.
But during rescue operations, there's never any sign of the mutants.
Prep the Blackbird.
[GROANS.]
Wait, wait.
You want these freaks? Take 'em all.
Not all.
Just some.
[ELECTRONIC WHIRRING.]
Yes.
Definitely the blue one.
Too young.
Pretty.
Evaluate her powers.
If they're useful, take her.
Good enough.
[CRIES OUT.]
Mom! No! Do not interfere.
[GRUNTS.]
It looks as if we have a hero onboard.
Reese, make an example of him.
[GASPS.]
Leave now and you won't get hurt.
I admire your courage.
But you have no idea what you're up against.
[CRIES OUT.]
[MOANS.]
You have terrorized your last town, demon.
MAN: Kurt Wagner? Yes? Do not be alarmed.
My name is Charles Xavier.
I've come to offer my help.
I do not believe you.
People never want to help me.
Then allow me to be the first.
WOMAN: No! Sam! Where are we? On their ship.
But they left the children behind.
WOMAN: We have to do something.
Can you teleport that far? [GROANS.]
Ricochet, fire again.
What was that? [DOOR CREAKS.]
Nightcrawler.
We're going to repair this ship, so I need to know what each of you can do.
Nothing that will help us.
Our powers are worthless.
No one here is worthless.
A very smart man once told me that mutants are not cursed, but gifted.
Now, tell me, what are your gifts? I understand machines.
I mean, I can talk to them and they listen.
I secrete sticky goop from my hands.
Need some sticky goop? A-and I have butterfly wings.
Oh, he doesn't talk, but he shatters things.
Good.
Wonderful.
Okay and let's see what we can do with them.
[GURGLING.]
[HUMMING.]
[GASPS.]
[CONSOLE BUZZING.]
[.]
[GASPS.]
Ricochet, prepare to engage the enemy.
This time, we leave no survivors.
[ALARM BLARING.]
WOMAN: Fire! [GASPS.]
[CRIES OUT.]
[ALL GRUNT.]
[PIRATE LAUGHING.]
[LAUGHING.]
Hey! No! [CRIES OUT.]
[GRUNTS.]
What do you want with us? I offer you the chance to prove yourselves in my master's games.
It's a great honor for those of your world.
What games? Lethal combat.
I think you'll survive much longer than the others.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Please, someone help me get this door open.
Let's go.
[GRUNTS.]
[YELLS.]
[CRIES OUT.]
Tell your master to shop for gladiators elsewhere.
Hey.
Drop your weapons or we're having sushi.
[GRUNTS.]
Get everyone below.
[GRUNTS.]
[CRIES OUT.]
[SCREAMS.]
I'd be careful.
You have no more mechanical arms to lose.
This isn't over.
[CHEERING.]
Kurt.
We came to rescue you.
Good of us, wasn't it? I can't believe this.
The team is really back together? Long story, but yeah.
A lot has happened, Kurt.
We'll fill you in on the flight home.
Maybe later.
Right now I need to see this through.
What? Kurt, we've been looking all over for you.
No, it's okay.
I get it.
Listen, if you need us-- Thanks.
[WHIRRING.]
Master, I have failed you.
Yes, you did.
And these X-Men.
Ooh.
If they fight like the blue one-- I must have them all.
[CACKLES.]
[.]
[SCREAMS.]
Come on and help me out.
You're an X-Man, do it yourself.
Kurt! [GASPS.]
