Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e16 Episode Script
Badlands
(PANTING) (EXCLAIMING) (GASPING) (GRUNTS) What are these things? Don't know.
Never seen them before.
Don't be a hero, Domino.
Let's go! Maybe we lost them.
(SHRIEKING) (WHIMPERS) (GROWLS) (GRUNTS) (GROWLS) (WHISPERING) Wow.
Let's see.
TB-9 conduits with optic relay junctions, all hard-lining to There.
That's a positronic processor, the brains of this operation.
Let's move.
Why don't we just call the other X-Men and trash this place? 'Cause that'll just slow them down.
We need to shut them down, and we can't do that until we know what we're fighting.
Whoa! I've never seen encoding this advanced.
Download what you can.
We'll crack it later.
If this goes bad, get Forge out of here and don't wait for me.
What? (GRUNTS) (GUNS COCKING) Freeze, mutie.
(SIGHS) Typical.
What do we do? Run! (GUARDS GRUNTING) Let's get a full-body scan and see what the famous Wolverine is really made of.
Hit it with everything you got.
(ROARING) (SHRIEKING) Did those claws remind you of anyone? Yeah, they did.
And so does that.
(ROBOTS SHRIEKING) We gotta move, people.
What are you doing? We have to What is this? BISHOP: The badlands.
No one goes there.
(THUNDER RUMBLING) Not even the Sentinels.
(ROBOTS SHRIEKING) BISHOP: Lucky us.
Let's go! Good.
See? No way they'll follow us out here.
MASTERMOLD: Protocol overruled.
Proceed.
(GRUNTS) Professor! (GROANS) (GRUNTS) I thought you said they wouldn't come out here.
They don't, at least not until now.
Mastermold must really want you.
Can't we just get out of here? Please? Oh, no.
Quick, get them off.
(EXCLAIMS) (GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) Hellion! Okay, steady yourselves.
FORGE: Shouldn't he be out of there by now? SHADOWCAT: Yes.
And he said not to wait.
That's right.
So, we're waiting, then? No, I'm going in.
But You're staying, though.
Hey! I want you to hide in here until I come back for you.
Got it? What about I mean it, Forge.
Do not leave this vehicle.
But (GROWLING) I have to admit, this I did not expect.
I thought you were unbreakable because of some mutant ability.
Turns out your bones are just coated in metal.
My guess, adamantium.
Amazing you survived such a procedure.
Ah, the claws.
Let's not forget those.
No wonder Colonel Moss can't seem to hold you.
And neither will you, bub.
What really intrigues me, however, is your rapid healing ability.
The injuries you sustained would have been fatal to anyone else.
(SNARLS) Between you and I, Wolverine, humanity will win this war, and we'll do it through technology.
All we need to do is teach it how to fight like mutants.
(SNARLING) Dr.
Trask? Where do you want this one, sir? But I was just looking for the bathroom.
Lock him up.
Forge! (GASPS) Next time, let's just trash the place.
It'd be a whole lot easier.
I kind of remember telling you not to wait for me.
Yeah, and now look at you.
Good point.
Come on.
I have to go rescue Forge now.
Forge? But didn't I Don't ask.
I do really need to use the bathroom! (SIGHS) (GASPS) Kitty! I can explain! Later.
Anything else you two want to do while we're here? Test their alarm system? Get a job app? Huh? (GRUNTS) (THUDS) (GROANING) Magneto? Erik, is that really you? No, my father is dead.
Lorna! What's happened to you? Lorna.
I am Polaris now.
You're all alone here, aren't you? Do not talk to me as if you care! You were my father's enemy.
Polaris, listen to me.
Your father and I were never enemies.
You hated him.
No! He was my friend.
But I disagreed strongly with what he was doing.
What, protecting mutants? The humans you protected, they destroyed everything! It's never that simple, Polaris.
Yes, it is.
(GRUNTING) Polaris, no! (SCREAMS) (XAVIER SCREAMING) Oh, man.
Destroy! Polaris, please.
Don't do this.
(GRUNTING) Huh? We can't stop this thing.
We have to stop her! Get her helmet off.
I got this.
(GRUNTS) XAVIER: Easy, Lorna.
I am in control now.
(GRUNTING) (SIGHING) (SCREAMING) Father? I don't understand.
Why is this happening? I'm so sorry.
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
I failed you.
I failed all of us.
But you, sweet Lorna, you shouldn't have to pay.
I want you to get into the sublevels.
Go as deeply as you can.
What about you? No! Father! No! No! No! Come with me.
Lorna I love you.
(SCREAMING) No! (SCREAMING) (CRYING) No.
No.
(SOBBING) No! Lorna.
Lorna, I'm so very sorry.
The world was Was supposed to become like Genosha.
Mutants were going to be free.
That's what my father promised.
We were all going to be free.
Listen to me, Lorna.
I'm working on a way to change it all, to undo what has been done, to take everything back to the way it once was.
No.
That's not possible.
My father's dream died with him.
I don't believe that.
I'm fighting for us, Lorna, for all mutants.
And so, I need you to release us.
Lorna, as long as you're alive, your father's dream survives within you.
Don't give up on us.
Now what? SENTINEL: Destroy.
(ALL GASPING) (GRUNTS) We could have used her.
No.
Lorna is not a soldier.
Magneto knew that.
He wanted her to see only the dream, not the war.
Let us hope someday we can free her of the prison she's built for herself.
WOLVERINE: So you think because I got captured these machines can duplicate my abilities? It appears that way.
I'm seeing the Sentinels becoming more and more like mutants every day.
Logan, if they can adapt to fight like us, we may very well lose this war.
I ain't gonna let that happen, Chuck.
Count on it.
Never seen them before.
Don't be a hero, Domino.
Let's go! Maybe we lost them.
