Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e25 Episode Script
Foresight (2)
(WHIMPERS) (GROWLS) (GRUNTS) (GROWLS) I wanna see the Professor.
Jean, I told you, he's in a coma.
He can't help you.
I'll get through to him somehow.
Please listen.
If we don't do this now, we may not get another chance.
I'm not doing anything without him.
(GROANS) (GASPS) (GROANS) This won't be as simple as I'd hoped.
What does that mean? We must now trick Jean into removing the mental barriers herself.
How many of them are in place? I won't know until I'm inside.
Even then, I may not be able to find them all.
Why is it, Emma, that Jean must remove them? Are you incapable of doing it yourself? I probably could, Selene, if they were put there by anyone but Charles Xavier.
EMMA: Girls, let's proceed.
And tread softly.
XAVIER: Jean.
Professor.
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
I don't know what's happening.
There's a woman, Emma.
She said the power inside me is called the Phoenix, and It's all right, Jean.
There's no need to be frightened.
They want me to open the doors.
To let it out.
I know.
And it's very important that you do.
But you told me never to open them.
That was before I fully understood what we were dealing with.
Trust me, the Phoenix must be released or all will be lost.
Jean, I promise you, it will be all right.
(RUMBLING) (GROANS) You did well, Jean.
Now, take me to the next one.
(THUNDER RUMBLING) CYCLOPS: Jean.
Jean.
Jean! Scott.
Jean, is that you? Scott, where are you? CYCLOPS: I'm here, Jean.
I'm fine.
(GASPS) No, this isn't right.
(ANGRILY) Where's Scott? (FAKE CYCLOPS SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) Help me keep her under.
(GRUNTS) What happened? We were interrupted.
By what? A psychic connection she has with Scott Summers.
She senses he's in trouble.
Then have the girls block him out so you can proceed.
It's too strong.
If he is in trouble, I need to go and alleviate the problem.
Or maybe you're as worried about Scott Summers as she is.
Are you questioning my loyalty, Selene? Yes, I am.
The X-Men are of no further use.
They should've been taken out as soon as Cerebro was rebuilt.
So now we're assassins? We're trying to save lives, not take them.
Go if you must, Emma.
The Cuckoos are fully capable of getting Miss Grey to open the remaining doors.
Oh, and what about the little firestorm waiting on the other side? I have faith they can contain it.
Contain it? What are you talking about? We're destroying it.
Those plans have evolved.
Sebastian, you can't control the Phoenix.
No one can.
Ah, but I believe it wants to be controlled, Emma, and that through the centuries it's been searching for a telepath capable of handling its power.
(STAMMERS) You can't all agree with this? Leland? Pierce? SELENE: We do.
And before you fell in love with the X-Men, you would have as well.
We're confident that five telepaths can succeed where one would fail.
You are all fools.
If I'm not here to lead this, the Phoenix will consume those girls, just as it would've Jean.
I implore you, please don't do anything until I return.
You have one hour.
Let's proceed.
MASTERMOLD: The global scan for mutants has concluded.
Eradication procedures will now commence.
And your usefulness, Charles Xavier, has come to an end.
(CRASHING) Wolverine.
Hey, Chuck.
Been a long time.
(GRUNTS) Just give me a second.
I'll get you out of there.
- (GROWLS) - Whoa! That was a long time coming.
Logan, I had a feeling you were still out there somewhere.
Had a few close calls.
(METAL CLANGING) But, yeah, still kickin'.
Laura, take the others and go release the prisoners.
I've missed you, my friend.
Good to see you too, Chuck.
Been looking all over for you.
Have you? I knew you'd be waking up at the Institute soon.
But the last time I checked, you were already gone.
Hope you weren't on your own for long.
I wasn't.
Your fight against the machines has spawned devoted followers.
It's been my pleasure to join them.
Hmm, they're a good crew.
Still miss the old one though.
And I as well.
What happened, Logan? When our last communication was cut off, you told me Jean had been taken.
Yeah.
I couldn't get her back.
And then And then we were at war and It was all over so fast.
What went wrong? Where was the flaw in our plan? (SIGHS) Me.
But there's a chance I can fix that.
(MEN GRUNTING) (GROANS) He's awake! He's awake! Officers need assistance now.
(GROWLS) (SCREAMS) Forget it, Wolverine.
Don't even try.
(GROANS) (CRASHING) (GRUNTS) Emma, where have you been? Listen to me, Scott, I know where Jean is.
I found her.
But we must go now.
What about Logan? Scott, she needs you, not him.
You're the only one who can save her, and we're almost out of time.
(GRUNTS) (RUMBLING) - What happened? - Frost.
She took off with Summers.
I'm going after her.
You check the others.
And the Sentinels? They were launched from this facility.
So maybe they can be called back.
See what you can do, Hank.
(GRUNTS) Lorna, I need you inside right away.
You're to wait in your chambers.
Don't come out for any reason.
Do you understand? Why? What's wrong? The details need not concern you.
But very soon, Genosha will be spreading beyond its borders.
And then mutants all over the world will be free.
- Really? - Yes.
But right now, I need you to remain here until I come for you, all right? Okay.
(SIGHS) (SCREAMING) WOLVERINE ON RADIO: Hank, any progress in recalling those Sentinels? None, I'm afraid.
And I seriously doubt there will be.
Someone took this place apart.
All right.
Secure some MRD choppers and stand by until Magneto makes his move.
BEAST: Will do.
(SNIFFS) (GROWLS) (SHUDDERING) (SCREAMING) (ANGRILY) We're doing nothing? What are you waiting for? The one thing Genosha needs in order to triumph.
Unity.
Some mutants refuse to fight alongside their brothers and sisters.
But this unprovoked attack is just the motivation they need.
I can't believe you're actually willing to sacrifice lives! If the loss of a few mutants will ensure our rightful place in this world, then, yes, I will make that sacrifice.
It's all been a lie, hasn't it? A means to an end.
We're a target for the humans so you could retaliate! Is that all Genosha is to you? Genosha is everything to me! But like a seedling in a clay pot, it must be broken free in order to grow.
No, not like this.
It's one thing to defend ourselves, it's another to attack our own people.
It figures you'd show up when things got interesting.
Someone's got to pull your tails out of the fire.
Domino, is this everyone? Yeah, everyone who was captured.
But two are still MIA.
(THUDS) So who are they? (CHUCKLES) Long story.
Basically, I found them on ice at a Weapon X facility.
They turned out to be pretty useful.
(GASPS) And a little aggressive.
Stand down.
Well, this certainly explains why every Sentinel outside is shredded to pieces.
Vanisher, where have you been? On the run.
Marrow and I managed to escape the raid.
Marrow? Where is she? Regrettably, she is the one who betrayed us.
And has now disappeared.
I can't believe she gave us up.
How'd it go, Chuck? Did you get through to the past? Not yet, but for now we must shift our focus.
The Sentinels are equipped with the whereabouts of every remaining mutant on Earth.
They must be stopped.
But to do that, we'll have to take down the big boss.
Then today's our lucky day.
Because I found Mastermold.
(TIRES SQUEALING) Wait, what are you doing? I thought you couldn't use your telepathy in that form.
I can't, but they'll drop us in the doorway otherwise.
(GROANING) I knew she would betray us.
(GROANS) (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) Leland, pin him down.
(GROANS) (GRUNTS) Even if they can't beat you, Emma, they can block you.
Now return to your diamond form.
Or you'll do what? Or I'll drain every last ounce of his precious life.
Foolish humans, building an army of metal men to attack the master of magnetism.
Cheer up, Sis.
The humans were gonna attack us sooner or later anyway.
You don't know that.
Just because Kelly got cold feet doesn't mean others would.
Father and I just took out the guesswork.
Father and you? You mean nothing to him.
Do I detect a hint of jealousy? Wanda, once the Sentinels have cleared the way, be ready to transport our armies.
Why don't you give that job to Pietro? Yeah, Dad, I'll take care of it.
Wanda, you've stood by my side this long, don't abandon me now.
You're the only one I can count on.
So you want me to prepare the troops? No, you just convince your sister to come to her senses.
(GASPS) (TIRES SCREECH) Look! (SCREAMING) SENTINEL: Targets identified.
(PEOPLE SHUDDERING)
