X-Men: Evolution (2000) s04e04 Episode Script
Sins of the Son
Look out! Lucas, if you're not busy later, we could get together or something.
Yeah, sure.
Definitely maybe.
Lucas! Hey, man, what's the word? Changes on the horizon, my friend.
No doubt.
Aye, genius.
Hello, David.
Having a nice night? You know, Dave, if you're really ready to end this, there's only one way.
Call him.
H- Hello? Charles Xavier.
Please, I I need your help father.
No, Gabrielle.
Even with Cerebro, I don't just scan the world with my telepathic powers unless I'm looking for someone, and I would never think to look for a son I wasn't aware of.
This is too weird.
The professor has an ex-Wife we didn't even know about? Ahem.
Why don't you two check in with the mansion? See how Kitty is doing.
Oh! Uh, good idea.
This is the last time I'm gonna tell you guys.
You'll be late for school if you don't wait.
Was that the tardy bell? You'll just have to write me a note.
I refuse to go to class with wet hair.
You can dry it on the go.
Ray, give her a hand? Now, what about unh! Sam? Good-Bye, and good luck.
Hmm? hey.
Thought We'd check in.
How's Kitty? Flu any better? Not yet, but she's got company.
Kurt's down with it, too.
ah-Choo! Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo! Ah-Choo! come in.
Any better? That answer your question? You know, the best way to beat this thing is sleep.
Great idea.
Except that every time I close my eyes, I have this nightmare that I'm at school in my pajamas.
Ah, yes.
Some of us still have that nightmare.
All right, look.
Her name is Gabrielle Haller.
Yes, we were married briefly many years ago.
And Yes, we had a son I knew nothing of until today.
And now he's been kidnapped.
Charles.
Thank you for have you heard from the police? Are there any new developments? No.
Ms.
Haller, my name is ororo Munroe.
This is Jean and Scott.
We work with your the professor.
Don't worry.
We'll find your son.
I'm going to need a complete list of David's friends and the places he goes regularly.
We just moved here.
David didn't have any friends.
Not yet, anyway.
He hardly ever left home.
Unh! Aah! aah! Unh! Aah! Ohh! Keeping my son from me.
Surely you could've found some other way to punish me.
It wasn't about hurting you, Charles.
I just didn't want David growing up with a father who didn't have time for him.
Yes, well, I see nothing's changed.
You always did blame everything on my study of mutants.
Is that what you told David? No.
He knows nothing about you.
Perhaps I was wrong, but I never told David where you were, only that you abandoned us before he was born.
Well, hello.
Who are you? Man, remind me never to disappear.
I'd hate to have strangers going through my stuff like this.
Why? You got something to hide? Ohh! Hello.
Wait! What is it? A boy.
Hey! Where'd you go? What's your name? that's Ian.
David found him living on the street.
He's been with us ever since.
Has he said anything at all about David? No, but Ian doesn't talk.
As far as I can tell, he knows nothing.
Maybe a telepath could get a better answer.
Ian! Wait! Aah! Unh! Aah! Ah Ah Ah-Choo! Ohh! Ah-Choo! Knock-Knock.
Do you have any Kurt? What are you doing under there? Ah-Choo! Oh, no.
No, no, no! This is not happening! Kurt, wake up! Seriously! We're at school! just get us out of here before Ah-Choo! Before Somebody sees us.
ugh! You have had it, blue boy! Ah-Choo! Aah! Ugh! Uhh.
Ohh.
Better? Ohh! Who are you? Someone like you.
A mutant.
But my friends call me Lucas.
Listen, I don't know how you got me here, but you made a big mistake.
Come on! The Fun's just starting.
Uhh! Unh! Unh! People come here, and they never want to leave.
I think you'd like it here, too, Jean.
Stay.
Please? You cannot keep me from leaving.
Well, actually, I can.
Unh! I can do whatever I want.
But you'll stay, because it's the only way you're going to find David.
Ohh! Storm, anything? No sign of Jean or the boy.
But I did spot the glow of some fires burning toward the cliffs.
Oh, that's probably Mcfadden castle.
Teenagers have been using those ruins for parties.
I'm going there to look for her.
Right, but be cautious.
already missing.
We don't need a fourth.
I will, professor.
In the meantime, let's search for Ian.
I believe he knows more than he's let on.
Scott, stay out of sight! Jean, what happened to you? David's here someplace.
But how did you get here? I was following Ian, and that's when Lucas showed up.
Who? Lucas! He's the one who brought me here.
And he took David.
Then it's time I introduce myself.
No, Scott, don't! His powers are too strong! Ah, I see the boyfriend has come to crash the party.
Up for some fun? Listen, dracula, kidnapping 2 people isn't my idea of a good time.
Well, then whoa! Aah! Is that entertaining enough for you? Scott! Unh! Aah! Whoa! Unh! Ohh Aah! Unnnh! Aah! Scott! Uhh! Ohh whoa! Cute.
Ugh! Unh! Ohh! Aah! unh! I know what you're thinking, and you're not.
Not what? Powerful enough.
Face it, Jean.
You may be stronger than your average mutant, but you don't have enough juice to break out of the center of a mountain.
Lucas, don't do this! Visibility's getting worse by the second.
Storm, can you clear the way? Waah! Ian! What are you doing out here? It's all right, Ian.
We just want to find out some information.
What is it? I'm not sure.
Something's blocking my efforts to reach in.
Almost like a mutant power.
Mcfadden castle! They're at the ruins! Ian! Ohh! He's He's a mutant! Yes.
And worse, I'm afraid his loyalties are with David's abductor.
Uhh! Unh! Ohh! Unh! David? Who are you? A friend of your father's.
What? You mean he actually came? Yes.
But now we have to get you out of here.
Ohh! Ohh.
Any idea how to get through here? I made it out once, but it was by accident.
We go until we hear music.
Ohh.
If I could just get a signal to your Dad.
Right.
Like he cares.
No, David! You've got him all wrong.
He's a good man.
You just don't know him.
And whose fault is that? Well, I'm afraid it was your mother's.
She never told him about you.
Lucas said he's one of the most powerful telepaths in the world.
How could he not know? What do you mean? Lucas knows about the professor? That's what this is all about So he can go brain-To-Brain with the great Charles Xavier.
ohh.
We're close.
Come on.
Ohh! Scott! Unh! Are you ok? I think so.
But Jean don't worry.
I sense she's near.
Scott.
It's ok, Jean.
We're taking care of this.
Are you hurt? No.
I'm fine, mom.
Thanks to Jean.
David, I, um, want you to meet Charles Xavier.
Father.
Ohh! Ian?! what You're David?! sometimes.
Sometimes not.
Very vexing, actually.
But now that I'm here, I'd like a little quality time with my dad.
Uhh! Unh! Uhh! Unh! Let's bond, shall we? Charles! No, wait! Let me handle him.
What do you think, daddy? Am I a chip off the old mutant block or what? But what do you care, right? You were so busy taking care of other people's freaks that you never had time for your own! Well, take a good look, professor.
I hope you're proud, 'cause you made me what I am today! Aah! Nooo! Dad, please! Get out of here! You don't understand.
He's after you.
And he's coming back! David, listen to me.
Lucas and Ian, they're a small part of who you are, so you can take control of them.
No! No! I can't stop him! I can help you! Uhh! Unh! Aah! Ugh! Uuunnnhhh! David, give me your hand! Ohh! Unh! Aah! Unnh! Uhh! Unnnh! Oh! D- David? no! Where's David? You sent him away, along with Ian.
What did you do?! exactly what I brought him here to do.
You were the only one strong enough, old man, the only one who could get rid of the others.
And you did it! You set me free! Ohh.
Good to have you back, professor.
If there's anything you need Yes, thank you, Hank.
We have to give him time.
So, how'd it go with Kitty and Kurt? Not a peep out of their rooms all day.
They should be well-Rested by now.
boy! I'm feeling much better.
Had some weird dreams, though.
Like we were out in public wearing our pajamas, and What? Agh! School! Downtown! In the park! At a funeral! I can never show my face in bayville again! Ow! What? I've been here agh! All day! You're delirious! Ow! Argh! do you know what the tragic part is, storm? I lost him before I even found him.
Don't lose hope, Charles.
Someday he'll find his way, and you'll be there for him, like you are for all of us.
Yeah, sure.
Definitely maybe.
Lucas! Hey, man, what's the word? Changes on the horizon, my friend.
No doubt.
Aye, genius.
