Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e22 Episode Script
Aces & Eights
KELLY: Did you see this? Genosha has closed its borders.
Yes.
What do you think he's up to? He's closing ranks, that's what.
Which means he's about to make his move.
How long before we can launch the Sentinels? A full contingent? About two weeks.
This could be over in two days.
Our offsite locations are delivering them as quickly as possible.
Unbelievable! I'm telling you, I will not get caught unprepared.
We need to slow Magneto down.
We need to get someone inside Genosha.
What do you got for me, Charles? Because the clock's running, both sides are lining up and I'm out of plays.
Fortunately, Logan, I have discovered something.
It was in Mastermold's old data core, and very well could be the flashpoint of the war.
What happens? Magneto's helmet gets stolen.
What? I know.
It doesn't make sense.
But from what I can gather, it's taken by a mutant spy working for Senator Kelly.
How could that possibly start a war? I'm afraid you'll need to find the answers yourself on Genosha.
(SIGHS) Man What mutant would be stupid enough to go after Magneto's helmet anyway? (WHISTLING) (WHIMPERS) (GROWLS) (GRUNTS) (GROWLS) Hmm.
(GROWLING) Allow me to introduce myself, mademoiselle.
I'm What are you doing on this island? Aside from being blinded by your dazzling beauty, I seek an audience with the king of Genosha.
That's out of the question.
And you're trespassing.
(GROANING) (SIGHS) I tried to be a gentleman.
(GROWLS) (SCREAMS) (SNARLS) Uh-uh-uh.
I'd fold this hand if I were you.
Young man, I have little patience for the flaunting of powers.
My apologies, monsieur, but they did start it.
Very well, but the next word you utter had better be a very good explanation for why you're here.
All cards on the table.
I like that.
You're familiar with Senator Kelly, yes? Yes, well, he has paid me quite well to steal your helmet.
What would he gain by doing that? Proof to the world that Magneto is not untouchable.
Robbing a king of his crown would be humiliating.
Is that what you intend to do? If I had wanted your helmet, you would have simply woken up without it.
Then tell us what you're doing here.
I am simply requesting sanctuary in your remarkable city.
I will consider your request.
Father Until then, you will be confined to the guest quarters.
A generous offer.
It would be both a pleasure and an honor.
Wanda (CHUCKLES) That way.
Mmm.
(GASPS) I'm ready.
Where are the others? We're it.
Only two X-Men to face all of Genosha? Last time I brought a team onto that island I got spanked, thoroughly.
Metal bones, master of magnetism He saw me coming a mile away.
So this time, I'm just sending you in.
Alone.
(GRUNTING) Huh? (SNIFFS) (GIGGLES) I did some checking.
His name is Remy LeBeau, but he goes by Gambit.
Father, he's a known thief.
Well, my dear, he did already confess that to us.
But why let him into Genosha? We stopped taking refugees.
He could be useful.
He could be a problem and you welcomed him into our home.
I confined him to the guest suite.
But you didn't lock him in.
Better for us to keep an eye on him.
Now, Wanda, if he gets out of hand, he'll be dealt with.
(SIGHS) We need to hide our valuables.
(GASPS) Good afternoon, cherie.
Um.
You're not supposed to be in here.
(STAMMERING) You're not supposed to leave your room.
Well, as a guest in your house, I felt it was impolite of me not to introduce myself.
Remy LeBeau.
(STAMMERING) I'm My name is Lorna.
Now I really think you should get back to Shh.
Listen to me, ma chere.
Life demands bold steps.
Take one, and meet me in the garden at twilight.
But I Shh.
Until then.
(BLOWS KISS) (SIGHS) Okay, eyes open.
Stick to the shadows.
And if you have to, enlist the help of that girl of yours, Wendy.
Wanda.
She's not my girl.
Just report back what you find.
Wanda (GASPS) I need to speak with you.
Kurt, what are you doing here? I have important information.
Senator Kelly has sent someone to steal your father's helmet.
We know.
As soon as Gambit arrived, he told us everything.
Gambit? That's who it is.
Wanda, no.
No, he's got you fooled.
We are not fools, Kurt.
And just how do you know anything about this? Do the X-Men have a spy here? We do not.
It's complicated, but I'm telling you the truth.
Listen, Kurt, as much as I like seeing you again, you must leave.
But, Wanda If my father knew you were here Kurt, just go.
Please.
Hmm, I thought I locked it.
I know you're up to something.
If your father believed that, I would not be here.
Whatever it is, you'll be caught, and then it's me you need to worry about, not my father.
WOLVERINE: Gambit, huh? That ain't good.
NIGHTCRAWLER: The first thing he did was confess.
Now he's a guest in their palace.
He's working an angle, that's for sure.
Stick around.
Find out what he's up to.
Will do.
Remy? (GASPS) You just can't stay out of my arms, can you, ma petite? What? You're the one who We should go now.
You ready? Ready? To show me the most romantic view of the island, of course.
GAMBIT: Truly enchanting.
What are these structures? LORNA: The water distribution channels.
They supply fresh water to the whole island.
But to you, this place is much more, huh? I love the falls.
They're so powerful.
Also so calm and peaceful.
Do you come here often? Every chance I get.
My father doesn't like me leaving the palace, though.
A cage is a cage, even if it do look like a palace.
You should be free to enjoy every corner of this glorious sanctuary.
So, if this facility supply the water, where's your electricity come from? There.
Electromagnetic generators.
Ah! Of course.
And that tall building there, that must afford a spectacular view.
Not really.
It's just the communications tower.
It's not like it is here.
Lorna, perhaps we should get back before we're missed.
Lorna, I Mademoiselle, surely you could show leniency for a mere youthful indiscretion? Hello? Mademoiselle? (SCREAMS) MAN: Save your effort, man.
No prisoner has ever escaped the cells.
So how long are people usually kept down here? That kind of depends on the offense.
Well, I was on the receiving end of a little kiss from Magneto's daughter.
Wanda? Lorna.
I suggest you get comfortable.
Lorna.
(SNIFFLING) Where did you put him? Please, Lorna, just let it go.
He's in the cells, isn't he? The cell How do you know about that? I know a lot more than you think I do.
Listen, stay away from there.
Do you hear me? That guy cannot be trusted.
(SCOFFS) Says the girl who's in love with an X-Man.
(SLAMS DOOR) Hmm? If I let you out, will you take me with you? What? You want to leave Genosha? It's the only way we can be together.
Open the doors and I'm yours.
I know where your boat is.
Okay, well, go collect your things and meet me there.
(BEEPING) (BEEPING) So this was never about stealing Magneto's helmet.
It's about crippling Genosha.
Bravo.
Nightcrawler, isn't it? Disarm the explosives, Gambit.
There's too much at stake.
Agreed, but I like high stakes.
(SCREAMS) Lorna? There you are.
Come on, we have to hurry.
Lorna! Lorna! (BEEPING) Perhaps you wanna give this more thought.
No, I'm just a little nervous.
I've always lived on this island.
I don't even know what the world is like out there.
I'm afraid, cherie, it's a lot like me.
But wait.
What are you doing? I'm sorry, but I cannot take you with me.
Why? What did I do? Nothing, ma chere.
(MOTOR RUNNING) I'm just not the man you think I am.
You're wrong.
I wish I were.
I I don't understand.
You will.
(SNIFFLING) Of course.
She got her daddy's power.
And her sister's temper.
I'm sorry, Father.
I'm so sorry.
(EXPLOSION) (BOTH GASP) (GROWLS) Are you okay? I I think so.
Wanda? I'm fine, Father.
Lorna, join your sister in the palace.
Are you going after Remy? No.
It's the senator who will pay for this.
Magneto is going after Kelly.
Hank.
Hank, come in.
You insect.
(GRUNTING) You dare attack my home? My family? No, wait, wait.
(GASPS) Oh, thank goodness.
Where am I? A place I swore you'd never step foot.
Why have you brought me here? Because there's something you both need to see.
But I'm gonna let Charles show you.
What are they doing to us? Don't worry.
You're quite safe.
Erik, it's good to see you, old friend.
Charles! How can this be? Are you Are you conscious inside your body? XAVIER: I'm afraid not.
The coma I'm in will last for another 20 years.
That's where I am right now, in the future.
What kind of ruse is this? It's no ruse.
This is why the X-Men have been so efficient.
They've had inside information.
Information I wish to now share with the two of you.
The war you seek, the outcome you envision Behold your legacy.
Humans and mutants have lost.
The machines have won.
My dearest citizens, as you know, I have been trumpeting a call to arms against the mutants for many years.
As a result, we are on the brink of war.
Yet one has to wonder who will walk the earth once the smoke clears.
Assuming there is an earth left to walk on.
Believe me when I say this is a war no one will win.
We must give serious thought to our next move.
As such, I have now halted the Sentinel program.
Blink, bring me my son.
Yes.
What do you think he's up to? He's closing ranks, that's what.
Which means he's about to make his move.
How long before we can launch the Sentinels? A full contingent? About two weeks.
