Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e12 Episode Script
eXcessive Force
[CAR HORNS HONKING.]
Is there anything else I can get you? Hello? [.]
Whatever, weirdo.
[SIGHS.]
[GASPS.]
[.]
[CROWD SCREAMING.]
Ugh! [HORN HONKS.]
[.]
This guy knows where Jean is.
[.]
[WHIMPERING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROWLS.]
Oh, crud.
Is that-- Is that Harpoon? Have you completely lost it, Summers? I'm telling you, he knows.
Oh, so it's not enough you're ripping up the city in broad daylight, you have to bring this nutjob into our house? Maybe you've all forgotten that Jean is missing, but I haven't.
STORM: Scott, it isn't like that.
Emma, see what he knows.
[POWERS BUZZ.]
He has no information about Jean.
What about Sinister? Does he know where he is? I'm sorry.
Agh! Go.
[SIGHS.]
Who exactly is Sinister? He's a mutant scientist who collects genetic samples of other mutants, usually by force.
How charming.
And why did your Mr.
Sinister want to do this? Supposedly to create the ultimate mutant.
And years ago he was intent on using Jean Grey in his experiments, but we stopped him.
[HARPOON GROANS.]
[CRACKLING.]
Sorry, he was starting to wake up.
Well, he can't stay here.
Time for a drop and dash in front of the M.
R.
D.
[.]
What do you think you're doing? If one of Sinister's Marauders crawled out from under his rock, then maybe others did too.
This could be our only chance to find Jean.
Forget it, Summers.
What? It's the wrong play on a slim-to-none chance he's got her.
You shake down Sinister, you'll start a war.
Yeah? Well, you've gone to war for far less.
Maybe, but I'd never drag the X-Men down with me.
Fine, forget the X-Men.
I'll do it alone.
Scott.
I can help you.
Sorry, just got the one helmet.
Harpoon was on his way to see someone called Blockbuster.
Yeah? Together they were to meet with one of Sinister's generals.
Arclight.
The next rung up the ladder might know where Sinister is.
Why didn't you tell me this before? I knew how Logan would react.
Besides, sometimes you have to follow your heart.
Thanks.
[.]
So where is this meeting supposed to take place? [PANTING.]
[GROWLING.]
It's all in the interest of science, little Morlock.
[GASPS.]
So at least take comfort in that.
Now, come peacefully.
[.]
Get out of here, kid.
X-Man.
[GRUNTS.]
Aargh! Where is he? Where is Sinister? Then let's do this.
[CROWD SHOUTING.]
[BRAKES SCREECH.]
[GRUNTING.]
[HORN HONKING.]
[GRUNTING.]
Where is Sinister? [GROANS.]
[CROWD MOANING.]
Never mind.
Arclight.
You're late.
Take the samples that Blockbuster and Harpoon gathered and bring them-- No.
You have to listen.
Harpoon never made the drop, and Blockbuster and I were attacked by Cyclops.
I got away, but Blockbuster-- You were attacked by an X-Man and you came here? Connect me to Sinister.
[GRUNTS.]
We have a problem.
[.]
What have you done with Jean? Vertigo! Oh, she is so fired.
What is happening to my lab? It's Cyclops.
He's destroying everything.
There's nothing I can do.
It's all gone.
You are responsible.
What have you done with Jean? Tell me! Arclight, listen to me very carefully.
[.]
Aagh! LOGAN: Ugh.
You did what? I'm sorry, what was the question? I couldn't understand you with all the snarling.
Don't play games with me, Frost.
He asked for my help, Logan, much like you yourself did not so long ago.
Difference is Summers ain't gonna survive a clash with Sinister.
Scott can handle himself.
He's a boy scout.
He's not ready for this kind of fight.
You don't know Scott any more than you do yourself.
Perhaps your real concern is that you've made the wrong decision.
Again.
Frost! You should've supported him, because what if he's right? He ain't.
Either way, you've lost another X-Man, and you can't blame that on me.
Pack what you need.
We're bringing him back.
Oh, and by the way, he borrowed your bike.
[GROWLS.]
[.]
[CARS HONKING.]
[GRUNTS.]
I-I didn't want to take her.
Sinister made us do it.
Jean? I can tell you where she is.
Just don't hurt me.
[CRASHING.]
Hey! Uh KITTY: And don't give him to Magneto.
[GROANING.]
LOGAN: Well, I guess hunting these slimeballs is one way to deal with all that pent-up rage.
He has every right to be angry.
Scott is a good person in a world that exists solely to crush good people.
Why do you care, Frost? About Summers? About any of this? It's not that I-- Scott! He's-- We have to go.
What did you see? He's being lead into a trap.
[.]
Sinister! Give her to me! Now! [LAUGHS.]
Xavier's prize student, the teacher's pet.
If only he could see you now, so angry, so unwilling to think.
You dare come after me? As if Sinister was the name of a common thug you could intimidate? Well, your days as a nuisance to me are over.
You wanna hit someone? How about me? [.]
Aagh! [GRUNTING.]
Very impressive.
As always, you never fail to entertain.
But you're smart enough to know that you've already lost.
Give me Jean and I walk away.
You are in no position to bargain.
The damage you caused tonight, the lost genetic material, the sheer aggravation Just-- Just give me Jean.
That's all I want.
I don't have Jean Grey.
But-- But Arclight-- That confession was to lure you here.
No.
Madrox, restrain him.
[SCREAMS.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
[.]
Look at it this way: It's possible you might finally be reunited with Jean, in the afterlife.
But at least your DNA will live on in this world.
[LAUGHS.]
[.]
[GROWLS.]
Wow, there's a lot of you.
How infantile.
Aaarrgh! Scott! Scott, wait.
[GRUNTING.]
LOGAN: Cripes.
Iceman, finish this! Awesome! Sinister didn't have her.
She's out there somewhere.
I can't stop.
I have to keep looking.
I have to-- Summers.
Scott? Scott? How are you feeling? Not good.
You had us worried.
I'm sorry.
I just-- The thought of Jean in Sinister's labs, it was too much.
I wasn't thinking.
Yeah, you not thinking took out every one of his goons.
Next time you stop thinking, point your head at the Brotherhood.
Ow! You came after me, even after the way I've been acting.
You'd have done the same for any of us.
Scott, we'll find Jean but we'll do it together.
Now get some rest.
Thanks.
That just warms the heart, don't it? Sure, I'm glad you're alive and all, but you and me, we've got a problem.
You've got a choice to make, Summers.
Be an X-Man or don't, 'cause this garbage ain't gonna fly with me.
You wanna go chase ghosts, fine.
But if you're gonna be here, be here.
Xavier wouldn't kick you out, but don't think for a second I won't.
She's out there.
I know it.
Then go look for her, on your own.
Because you're either one of the team or you're gone.
Now, which is it? [.]
I'll stay.
What's that? It's over.
I'm staying here.
Good.
[WOMAN GASPS.]
Doctor.
Doctor! Look, she's awake.
Miss? Hello? How are you feeling? I'm tired, but I feel all right.
Good.
Can you tell us your name? I-- I don't know.
I can't remember.
[.]
