Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e11 Episode Script
Past Discretions
[ZAPPING.]
[SCREAMING.]
Daddy? [SCREAMS.]
No! It's all right, Logan.
I'm here with you.
Charles, what have I done? [.]
Wait.
Take me back in, Charles.
I gotta see it all.
You've seen all I can show you.
But that man-- That little girl-- Are a mystery to us both.
We're working with memory fragments, Logan.
Finding what they're connected to will take time.
How much time? I understand your impatience.
I do.
But your missing past is-- It's a quagmire.
If you step in, there's no telling how deeply it will pull you.
So you're saying I shouldn't even try? I'm saying right now you are the leader of the X-Men.
Your focus must be on the present-- And on the future.
But I have to know what I did.
And you will, in due time, but until we learn all of the facts, it would be foolish to go chasing after this.
Yeah.
I'll see ya, Charles.
Until next time, Logan.
LOGAN: Frost.
Yes? Didn't think it was possible to sneak up on a telepath.
I was just-- I mean-- What is it you want, Logan? I got something on my mind I need to make sense of.
I could use your help.
I see.
Hm.
What? The professor has already stirred those memories.
Does that mean he couldn't-- Wouldn't.
Well, then, by all means, let's get started.
Honestly, Domino, this is all harder than I thought it would be.
What, the constant running from the law? The feeling you've betrayed your friends? The sight of Blob in his spring collection? [SNORING.]
[BOTH SNICKER.]
You really look like someone we can trust.
Your turn.
I was going to put in some target practice on the roof.
Wanna come? Nah, you go ahead.
If I ever need to shoot a bottle cap from a mile away, I'll just steal your powers.
Cheater.
I have earned your respect, father, I've proven myself over and over, but what you're asking me to do now is nearly impossible.
So you're saying you can't do it? No, I'm not saying that.
Of course we can do it.
But after we pull it off, I expect to be welcomed back to Genosha.
One step at a time, Pietro.
Relax.
Don't think about anything.
Just let me take over.
[SCREAMING.]
[GASPS.]
[PANTING.]
I can see why you are haunted by this.
So can you piece it together for me? The memories you want are likely still there, but the connections between them have been severed.
Okay.
So how do I put them back? I could only suggest returning to that place, the cabin.
That's the problem here, Frost.
I have no idea where that cabin is.
From what I observed, it was at the base of two mountains.
Oh, Little Women, I love this book.
Okay.
I need more titles in the L category.
Bobby? Hm? Where are the Ls? Sitting on them.
Here, have a Q.
Ow! I'm bored.
I mean, this is so dial-up.
All this stuff is online.
HANK: Au contraire, Mr.
Drake, only a small fraction of literary properties have been digitized.
Besides, who doesn't love the feeling of a real book in their hands, huh? [YELPS.]
Let's see, Logan.
We'll want Geological Formations.
Oh, and Outdoor Photography.
Ooh, The Land Surveyor's Almanac.
Now, this one's a true classic.
[KEYBOARD CLACKING.]
Okay, let's start with "twin mountains.
" Enter.
Hold it.
That's it.
Third from the left.
: Twin summit peaks.
Up near the Canadian border.
Hm.
"Reproduced from--" A-ha.
I do have this book.
[.]
Dr.
Cornelius, we have a situation.
Yes? Weapon X has been sighted in Zone 53, the Nord property.
We've always known this might happen.
Wolverine needs to be eliminated now, before he-- No.
He represents a substantial investment.
We're not through with him yet.
Then we should have brought him in a long time ago.
As you are aware, he is too dangerous to hold and too valuable to destroy.
But if he remembers who we are and where we are, not to mention what we did to him-- Let's first determine how much he knows.
Bring in Sabretooth.
[.]
Uh-- Hi, Bobby.
Is Logan here? BEAST: I'll take care of this, Bobby.
Go finish helping Kitty in the library.
Hello, Rogue.
I must say I'm surprised to see you here.
I really need to speak with Logan.
Well, he's, uh-- He took off, didn't he? Wouldn't say why, wouldn't say when he'd be back.
Am I close? I'm afraid you've lost the privilege of knowing his whereabouts.
Now, is there something I can do for you? Never mind.
I can pass a message on to him.
Don't bother.
And do yourself a favor, Hank, don't trust him.
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING.]
MAN: Your target is a man named Christopher Nord, Mutant.
Kinetic energy absorption and redirection.
What's that mean? It means drop him fast or he'll drop you.
The guy's a regular maverick.
GIRL: Where are you going, Daddy? Just be a minute, sweetie.
Get to bed.
Nord has a daughter.
MAN [ON COMM.]
: Yeah, we knew.
Let's see.
Kristy, age six, likes horses.
Why wasn't I told about her? Cause she's not the target, runt, he is.
Now move.
[HOOFBEATS APPROACHING.]
Daddy? [SCREAMS.]
You.
I've waited a long time for this.
Why? I don't know.
You don't know? I was six years old when you took my father.
I need to know why! I did come after your father, but that's all I remember.
They wiped my memory.
I'm here to find answers too.
SABRETOOTH: Way to go, runt.
Just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you? I've been waiting for this day.
Yeah? How long? What's the matter? You don't remember, Weapon X? What did you--? [SNARLS.]
MAN [ON COMM.]
: Complete your mission, Weapon X.
LOGAN: Are you out of your mind? You're asking me to make that girl an orphan.
Wait.
It's not what you think.
[YELLING, SNARLING.]
Does this jog your memory? Right! Stay away from me and my family.
Do you understand? Nothing would make me happier.
[ZAPPING.]
[SCREAMING.]
[PANTING.]
[YELLING.]
Like I said, a regular maverick.
[ZAPPING.]
[SCREAMING.]
No! You did this.
Why? Because you didn't have the guts to.
I had to clean up your mess.
[SNARLS.]
You're still too soft, Weapon X.
We'll correct that when we get back.
KRISTY: Daddy? [SCREAMS.]
[ROOF COLLAPSING.]
Nord! SABRETOOTH: You betrayed me! You cared more about that girl and her daddy than your own partner.
Partner? Who did we work for? Ha.
The fact that you don't know is all that's kept you alive.
[SNARLS.]
Who are they? Doesn't matter now.
This is between you and me.
[ZAPPING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[BUZZING.]
Huh? [SCREAMING.]
Oh, good morning.
Morning.
So you found what you were looking for? Some of it.
Hey, Frost.
Thanks.
The pleasure's all mine.
Perhaps next time you'll come to me first.
Charles isn't the only one who can help you, you know.
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.
Logan, welcome back.
Good to be back.
You should probably know Rogue was here.
She wanted to talk to you and was quite upset to learn you had left.
Huh.
Piece of advice about that girl, Hank: don't trust her.
Funny, she said the same thing about you.
Wolverine doesn't remember much, but he's starting to.
He will need to be dealt with.
I'll expect your full report within the hour.
Yeah.
I'll get right on that.
Hey, maverick, quite a daughter you got there.
She's definitely someone we'll want to look at.
Daughter? [.]
[SCREAMING.]
Daddy? [SCREAMS.]
No! It's all right, Logan.
I'm here with you.
