X-Men 2 (2003) - full transcript

Encoded by Judas

Enjoy!

Mutants. Since the discovery

oftheir existence...

they have been

regarded with fear...

suspicion, often hatred.

Across the planet, debate rages.

Are mutants the next link

in the evolutionary chain...

or simply a new species

of humanity...

fighting for their share

ofthe world?

Eitherway,

it is an historical fact:

Sharing the world

has never been humanity's

defining attribute.

"We are not enemies, but friends.

"We must not be enemies.

"Though passion

may have strained...

it must not break the bonds

ofour affection."

Lincoln said that

in his first inaugural address

as our nation's 1 6th president.

It's one ofmy favorites.

So, ifyou'll please

have your tickets ready...

we can begin the tour.

Jackie, could you clear

my schedule this evening?

I wanna have dinner

with my son.

Yes, Mr. President.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you lost?

Perimeter breach

at visitor's checkpoint.

Multiple subjects.

Mr. President, security breach.

Jackie, leave. Let's get him

out to the car.

Exit's not clear.

We don't know

how many there are.

Post five. Secure.

- There's something in the corridor.

- To the shelter.

Negative! Not clear!

- It's outside the oval office.

- Lock this place down!

- Don't shoot!

- There!

My God.

Neanderthals. We once believed

that they were wiped out...

by years of conflict

with a much more advanced

branch of humanity...

called Cro-Magnon man.

But recent research

into our own DNA...

suggests that these two species

may have interbred...

evolving into modern humans.

In otherwords, into what?

Us.

Us. Right.

Artie, not here.

Come on.

Pay attention.

Makes me insane

when she does this.

What are you looking at, you sick―

Busted my lip.

- I have cancer.

- To the shelter!

- No!

- Hi.

They're gonna kill—

What's wrong with this?

It doesn't work.

Jean? You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

It'sjust, uh—

just a headache.

It's notjust a headache,

is it?

Listen,

I— I wasn't really

sure how to say this...

but ever since Liberty Island,

you've been—

Scott.

You've been different.

My telepathy's been off lately.

I can't seem to focus.

I can hear everything.

It's notjust your telepathy.

A month ago, you had to concentrate

just to levitate a book

or a chair across the room.

Now, when you have a nightmare,

the entire bedroom shakes.

My dreams are getting worse.

Scott.

I keep feeling something terrible

is about to happen.

I would never let anything

happen to you.

Hey. Have you guys

seen Bobby and Rogue?

Something's happening

in the food court.

My brother asked you

a simple question.

Why are you being such a dick?

Yeah, why are you

being such a dick?

Because I can.

Can I have a light?

Hmm.

- Sorry. I can't help you out, pal.

- John, knock it off.

Why don't

you stop showing off?

For her?

I can't help it ifyour

girlfriend's getting excited.

- I don't think

she's getting excited.

- Trying to have a good time.

I thinkyou're the only one

having a good time.

Hey!

That's real cute, man.

What are you gonna do?

Suddenly,

you're not so tough.

Hello? Honey, can you hear me?

Bobby, what did you do?

I didn't do this.

No.

I did.

And the next time you

feel like showing off, don't.

Breaking news. We're coming

to you live from Washington...

where there's been

an attack in the Oval Office

ofthe White House.

Details are still coming in,

but we have been informed...

that the president

and vice-president

were not harmed.

Sources say the attack

involved one or more mutants.

l think

it's time to leave, Professor.

Authorities have closed off―

I think you're right.

Yearrgh! Unh!

My opinion?

Magneto's behind this.

No. I don't

think so, Scott.

While Eric is capable

oforganizing something

like this from prison...

for him

it would be irrational.

It would only hurt his goal

of mutant prosperity.

You mean superiority.

You're right.

- If Eric had his way―

- Ofcourse, you know how

the government will respond.

They'll reintroduce

the Registration Act.

Or worse. The president could

declare a state ofemergency.

Place every mutant

in the country under arrest.

Do you think the assassin

was working alone?

Well, we'll only know that

ifwe find him before

the authorities do.

I've been trying to

track him using Cerebro...

but his movements

are inexplicably erratic.

When I have

more exact coordinates...

Storm,Jean,

I'll need you to take thejet

and try and pick him up.

It was close, wasn't it?

Closer than anyone's admitted.

What do you need,

William?

Just your authorization...

for a special operation.

Uh, no, thank you,

Mr. President.

And somehow I thought

you were here to talk

about school reform.

Funny you should say that,

Mr. President.

Senator.

Mr. President.

- Thankyou for having me.

- Senator Kelly, this is Colonel William Stryker.

- How do you do?

- His department has been dealing

with the mutant phenomenon...

since before my time.

As I recall,

you were a staunch supporter of

the Registration Act, Senator.

It seems your ideas

on the mutant problem

have changed recently.

For the best,

I hope.

So, what are you proposing,

Mr. Stryker?

Uh, may I,

Mr. President?

We've managed to gather evidence

of a mutant training facility...

in the Salem region

of upstate New York.

Where did you

get this information?

Interrogation ofone of

the mutant terrorists...

from the Liberty Island

incident.

Eric? Eric Lehnsherr?

You have access to him?

Magneto. Yes.

We developed the technology

that built his plastic prison.

- This facility is a school.

- Sure it is.

What the hell is that?

Ajet.

- What kind ofjet?

- We don't know...

but it comes up

out ofthe basketball court.

If we'd been allowed to do ourjobs,

Mr. President, before this incident―

All right. Listen.

William, you enter,

you detain, you question...

but the last thing

we need to see...

is the body ofa mutant kid

on the 6:00 news.

Mr. Stryker.

Senator Kelly.

This is Yuriko,

my personal assistant.

Quite a handshake.

What can

I do foryou?

Uh, Eric Lehnsherr's prison.

I'd like to arrange a visit

if possible.

It isn't a petting zoo,

Senator.

In this conflict,

he is the enemy.

You'rejust a spectator.

So why don't you sit

this one out, all right?

Conflict? Mr. Stryker,

do you really want to turn this

into some kind ofwar?

I was piloting black-ops

missions in thejungles

of North Vietnam...

while you were sucking

on your mama's tit

at Woodstock, Kelly.

Don't lecture me

about war.

This already is a war.

You're dead. You're so dead.

You're dead.

I— I don't

wanna hurt you.

I'm not afraid.

Hey.

Logan!

It's Logan.

You miss me, kid?

Not really.

Mm. How you doing?

I'm okay.

How are you?

Who's this?

Oh, this is Bobby.

He's my—

I'm her boyfriend.

Call me Iceman.

Right.

Boyfriend?

So how do you guys―

Well, we're still

working on that.

Look who's come back.

Just in time.

For what?

We need a baby-sitter.

Baby-sitter?

Nice to see you again,

Logan.

- Hi, Logan.

- Hi,Jean.

Uh, I should go

and get thejet ready.

Yeah, well,

it was good to meet you.

Come on.

Let's go.

Bye, Logan.

- I'll see you later.

- Okay.

Storm and I

are heading to Boston.

We won't be gone long.

The professor wants us

to track down a mutant

who attacked the president.

So it was a mutant?

You'll be here

when we get back―

unless you plan

on running offagain.

Well, I can probably think of

a few reasons to stick around.

Find what you were

looking for, Logan?

More or less.

I'll see you boys later.

- Be safe, okay?

- You too.

- Bye.

- See ya.

Aren't you gonna

welcome me home?

Your bike needs gas.

Then fill her up.

Mr. Laurio.

How long

can we keep this up?

How long is your sentence?

Forever.

Not necessarily forever,

Mr. Lehnsherr.

Just until

I've got all that I need.

Mr. Stryker.

How kind ofyou to visit.

Have you come back to make sure

the tax-payers' dollars

are keeping me comfortable?

Done. You can go.

Now...

Mr. Lehnsherr...

I'd like to have one final talk...

about the house

that Xavier built...

and the machine

called Cerebro.

Logan, my tolerance foryour smoking

in the mansion notwithstanding...

continue smoking that in here

and you'll spend the rest ofyour days...

under the beliefthat

you're a six-year-old girl.

- You'd do that?

- I'd haveJean braid your hair.

Welcome back.

Ooh.

You want me to leave?

No.Just don't move.

These lights represent

every living person on the planet.

White lights are humans.

And these

are the mutants.

Through Cerebro,

I'm connected to them.

And they to me.

You see, Logan...

We're not as alone

as you think.

I found the base

at Alkali Lake.

There was

nothing there.

The broken line represents

the path ofthe mutant

who attacked the president.

I've been finding it difficult

to get a lock on him.

Well, can't you just

concentrate harder?

If I wanted to kill him, yes.

There.

Looks like

he's finally stopped running.

I need you

to read my mind again.

Logan...

I'm afraid the results

will be the same as before.

- We had a deal.

- The mind is not a box that can

be simply unlocked and opened.

- It's a beehive with a million

different compartments.

- Spare me the lecture.

I have no doubt that your amnesia,

your adamantium skeleton, the claws...

are all somehow connected.

But, Logan...

sometimes the mind needs to

discover things for itself.

I promise you we'll

talk again when I return.

Oh. Ifyou will be kind enough

to watch over the children tonight...

Scott and I are going to

visit an old friend.

l'm sending

coordinates of where the mutant

seems to have settled for now.

Soon as you find him,

bring him back to the mansion.

Let's hope

he cooperates.

Yes. For his sake.

Good luck.

Stryker, William.

What are you

doing in here?

Estoy tirando la basura.

Garbage.

These are

the coordinates.

He's a teleporter.

Must be why the professor

had trouble locking onto him.

We're not here to hurt you!

We just wanna talk!

- Are you bored yet?

- Oh, yeah.

Sure you don't wanna come down?

- You have him?

- He's not going anywhere.

Are you?

Please don't kill me.

I didn't mean to harm anyone.

Now why would people

have gotten that impression?

What's your name?

Wagner. Kurt Wagner.

There was so much shooting...

such fear...

and then

there was only pain.

I could see it all happening...

but I couldn't stop myself.

It was like a bad dream.

Perhaps He is testing me.

And before you were

in the White House...

what do you remember?

Nothing. I was here.

Jean.

I'd rather get him

back to the professor.

The professor?

Did you do these yourself?

Yes.

And what about this?

I need you

to read my mind again.

I'm afraid the results

will be the same as before.

He'll be indestructible.

His entire skeleton—

Adamantium.

Sometimes the mind needs to

discover things for itself.

Wolverine.

No memory. He'll have no memory.

A dozen tourists in

the White House during the attack...

are still being

held for questioning.

Best tasting food.

A machine that's so darn easy—

...president will

address the nation—

For the White House assassin,

following hundreds of―

Can't sleep?

- How can you tell?

- 'Cause you're awake.

Right. How about you?

I don't sleep.

Hey.

Doesn't anybody

sleep around here?

Apparently not.

Got any beer?

This is a school.

So that's a "no"?

Yeah, that's a "no."

Got anything other

than chocolate milk?

There should be some soda

in that small cupboard.

Thanks.

No problem.

I'll take him from here.

It's all right, Scott.

Nice shades.

Thanks.

Charles Xavier.

Have you come to rescue me?

Sorry, Eric. Not today.

To what do I owe

the pleasure?

The assassination attempt

on the president―

What do you

know about it?

Nothing.

Only what I read

in the papers.

You really shouldn't

have to ask, Charles.

What's happened to you?

I've had frequent visits

from William Stryker.

You remember him,

don't you?

William Stryker.

His son,Jason,

was once a student

ofyours, wasn't he?

Yes. Years ago.

Unfortunately,

I wasn't able to help him...

at least not in the way

that his father wanted.

And nowyou think

that taking in the Wolverine...

will make up foryour failure

with Stryker's son.

How long you been here?

Couple years.

And your parentsjust sent you off

to mutant school?

Actually, my parents

think this is a prep school.

Oh, I see.

I suppose lots of prep schools

have their own dorms, campuses—

Jets.

So you and Rogue,

huh?

Yeah.

It's not what you think.

I'd like it to be, but it'sjust—

It'sjust that it's not easy...

when you wanna be

closer to someone...

but you can't.

You know, I've seen how

you look at Dr. Grey.

Excuse me?

Nothing.

You haven't told him

about his past, have you?

I've put him on the path.

Logan's mind is still fragile.

Is it?

Or are you afraid of losing

one ofyour precious X-Men...

old friend?

Eric, what have you done?

I'm sorry, Charles.

I couldn't help it.

What have you told Stryker?

Everything.

The war has begun.

Scott!

You should've killed me

when you had the chance!

But now and then...

every mother needs to get away.

Without her,

the babies are helpless.

Sensing danger,

the mother rat races home.

The babies can't

even see the killer.

And someone uninvited

is coming to dinner.

She arrives too late

for one baby.

The centipede was deadly.

Hi.

- What is it?

- Shh, shh.

You picked

the wrong house, bub.

You all right?

Stay here.

Come on!

Run!

Move, move, move!

This way.

Let's go. Come on!

Go, go, go!

Run!

Run!

John! Hey.

Where's Rogue?

I don't know.

l gotta find her.

Hey!

Come on!

Here. Take her.

Hurry!

Go on. Get in.

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go! Come on!

Hey. Take him.

He's stunned.

I can help you.

Help them.

Rogue!

Bobby!

This way.

Come on. Everybody,

follow me up here.

Move! Move!

Go! Go!

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on. This way.

This is it.

Logan!

You wanna shoot me?

Shoot me!

Don't shoot him!

Not yet.

Wolverine?

Well, I must admit, this is

certainly the last place...

I'd expect to find you.

How long has it been?

Fifteen years?

You haven't

changed one bit.

Me, on the other hand—

Nature.

Wait! Wait! You guys,

we gotta do something.

They're gonna kill him.

- He can handle himself. Let's go.

- Bobby!

Please.

I didn't realize Xavier

was taking in animals—

even animals

as unique as you.

Who are you?

Don't you remember?

No! No!

Logan, come on.

Let's go.

Logan.

Go! I'll be fine.

But we won't.

Go. Keep going.

All right.

Get in. Get in!

I'm driving.

Hey. Maybe next time.

This is Cyclops's car.

Oh, yeah?

What the hell

was that back there?

Stryker. His name is Stryker.

Who is he?

I can't remember.

Zone one clear.

Roger that.

Here. This is yours.

l don't like

uncomfortable silences.

What are you doing?

I don't think

that's the CD player.

Whoa.

Sit back.

- Where we going?

- Storm and Jean are in Boston.

We'll head that way.

- My parents live in Boston.

- Good.

Sergeant?

Most ofthe mutants escaped

through a series oftunnels

that weren't in our schematics.

We have several in custody.

How many?

Six, sir.

Welcome, Professor.

Take what we need, gentlemen.

Look, I just think all this

anti-mutant protesting...

underscores

the genuine growing concern

among most Americans.

I think

mutant registration—

But why stop there?

Maybe it would be easier

to round up mutants

by the truckload.

Or maybe you'd like

all-out war, Mr. Shaw.

Oh, please.

Turn that shit off, Lou.

Lot on your mind?

Mr. Laurio?

I'm Grace.

You want another beer?

Of course you do.

You're really aggressive.

Yes, I am.

Oh, l— I've never hooked up

with a girl like you before.

I know.

It's, uh, kinda dirty in here,

don't you think?

That's the idea. Velcro.

Nice.

Bottom's up.

I certainly hope so.

Bottom's up.

- William.

- Please, Xavier, don't get up.

I call it

the neural inhibitor.

It keeps you outta here.

What have you

done with Scott?

Don't worry.

I'm just giving him

a little reeducation.

Ofcourse, you know

all about that, don't you?

William, you wanted me

to cure your son.

But mutation

is not a disease.

You're lying!

You were more frightened

of him than I was.

You know,

just one year afterJason

returned from your school...

my wife—

You see he resented us.

He blamed us

for his condition.

So he would

toy with our minds...

projecting visions

and scenarios into our brains.

Well, my wife,

in the end—

She took a power drill

to her left temple...

in an attempt

to bore the images out.

My boy, the great illusionist.

For someone

who hates mutants...

you certainly keep

some strange company.

Oh, they serve

their purpose...

as long as

they can be controlled.

You arranged the attack

on the president.

You didn't even

have to read my mind.

You know,

I've been working with mutants

as long as you have, Xavier...

but the most frustrating thing

I've learned...

is that nobody really knows

how many even exist...

or how to find them—

except you.

Unfortunately, this little potion

won't work on you, will it?

You're much too powerful

for that.

Instead, we'll go

right to the source.

Allow me to introduce mutant 1 43.

The fluid secreted by his brain

acts as a mind-controlling agent.

But that's only

where it begins.

Jason.

Oh, my God, William.

This is your son.

What have you

done to him?

No, Charles!

My son is dead...

just like the rest ofyou.

Mom? Dad? Ronny?

Is anybody home?

I'll try and find us

some clothes.

Don't burn anything.

Hey. I found some of

my mom's old clothes.

I think they're from

before I was born.

Groovy.

Hello.

Come on,Jean.

Where are you?

These are

my grandmother's.

Thanks.

You won't hurt me.

Wow.

I'm— l'm sorry.

It's okay.

Mmm.

Hey, Ronny. Next time you—

Who the hell are you?

Uh—

Bobby.

Honey, aren't you

supposed to be at school?

- Bobby, who is this guy?

- Uh, this is Professor Logan.

There's something I need to tell you.

You're clear.

Have a nice sleep, Lehnsherr?

There's something different

about you, Mr. Laurio.

Yeah. I was having

a good day.

No. No, it's not that.

- Sit down.

- No.

Sit your ass down.

What could it be?

What are you doing?

Ahh. There it is.

Too much iron in your blood.

Mr. Laurio, never trust

a beautiful woman...

especially one

who's interested in you.

So, uh...

when did you first know

you were a—

A―

A mutant?

Would you cut that out?

You have to understand,

we thought Bobby

was going to a school

for the gifted.

- Bobby is gifted.

- We know that. Wejust

didn't realize he was―

We still love you, Bobby.

It'sjust this mutant problem

is a little—

- What mutant problem?

- Complicated.

What exactly are

you a professor of,

Mr. Logan?

Art.

Well, you should see

what Bobby can do.

Bobby.

I can do a lot more than that.

Oh. Ronny!

This is all my fault.

Actually...

they discovered that males

are the ones who carry

the mutant gene and pass it on...

so it's his fault.

...the assassination

attempt...

911. Please state your emergency.

I need the police.

There are people

in our house.

They won't let us leave.

Authorities

refused to comment...

but it's believed

that a manhunt for several

fugitives from the facility...

is now underway.

Nobody's responding.

I can't get a signal.

Why don't you take a break?

I'll keep trying.

Right.

So, what are they?

They are angelic symbols...

passed on to mankind

by the Archangel Gabriel.

They're beautiful.

How many do you have?

One for every sin...

so quite a few.

You and Miss Grey

are schoolteachers?

Yes. At a school

for people like us...

where we can be safe.

Safe from what?

Everyone else.

You know, outside ofthe circus,

most people were afraid of me.

But I didn't hate them.

I pitied them.

Do you know why?

Because most people

will never know anything...

beyond what they see

with their own two eyes.

Well, I gave up on pity

a long time ago.

Someone so beautiful

should not be so angry.

Sometimes anger...

can help you survive.

So can faith.

Storm, l found

an active com device.

Where?

Oh, it's for me.

Bobby...

have you tried

not being a mutant?

No one's left,Jean.

Soldiers came.

What about the children?

Some ofthem escaped.

I'm not sure about the rest.

We haven't been able

to reach the professor

or Scott either.

Where are you, Logan?

Boston, with

Bobby Drake's family.

- Okay. We're on ourway.

- And Storm? Make it fast.

We have to go now.

Why?

Now!

Logan, what's wrong?

Drop the knives

and put your hands in the air.

- What's going on here?

- Ronny.

I said drop the knives.

Open the door!

Break it.

Turn around.

- Up against the wall.

- Okay!

This isjust

a misunderstanding.

Put the knives down.

I can't.

Look.

Oh!

All right, the rest ofyou,

on the ground now.

Look, kid,

l said on the ground.

We don't want to

hurt you, kid.

You know

all those dangerous mutants

you hear about on the news?

I'm the worst one.

Look out!

Guten tag.

Who the hell is this?

Kurt Wagner.

But in the Munich circus,

I was known as

"the Incredible Nightcrawler"—

- Aw, save it. Storm?

- We're outta here.

Whoa.

Jason, stop it!

It's all right.

You can come out.

Have they gone?

Yes.

- Where are all the other students?

- I don't know.

Well, then, we'll have to

find them, won't we?

We'll use Cerebro.

Come on.

How far are we?

We're actually coming up

on the mansion now.

I've got two signals approaching.

Coming in fast.

Unidentified aircraft, you are ordered

to descend to 20,000 feet.

Return with our escort

to Hanscom Air Force base.

You have 1 0 seconds to comply.

- Wow. Somebody's angry.

- I wonderwhy.

We are coming up

alongside you to escort you

to Hanscom Air Force base.

Loweryour altitude now.

Repeat, loweryour altitude to 20,000 feet.

This is your last warning.

They're falling back.

They're marking us.

- What?

- They're gonna fire. Hang on!

I gotta shake 'em.

- Please don't do that again.

- I agree.

Don't we have

any weapons in this heap?

Warning, warning, warning.

Warning, warning, warning,

warning, warning.

Warning, warning, warning,

warning, warning, warning.

Warning, warning, warning—

- Everybody okay back there?

- No.

Oh, my God.

There's two of'em.

There's one more.

Jean—

Oh, God!

Rogue!

No!

- Jean?

- It's not me.

When will these people

learn how to fly?

Thank you.

Bitte schön.

- Can you hear

what they're saying?

- I could take a closer look.

His name is

Colonel William Stryker...

and he invaded your mansion

for one purpose:

he wanted Cerebro.

Or enough of it

to build one of his own.

But that doesn't make any sense.

Strykerwould need the professor to operate it.

Which I think is the only reason

my old friend is still alive.

Oh, my God.

Now, what are you all so afraid of?

While Cerebro is working,

Charles' mind is connected...

to every living person

on the planet.

If he were forced to

concentrate hard enough

on a particular group―

let's say, mutants,

for example—

- he could kill us all.

- Wait a minute.

How would Stryker even know

where to find Cerebro

in the first place?

Because I told him.

I helped Charles build it,

remember?

Mr. Stryker has

powerful methods

of persuasion.

Even against a mutant

as strong as Charles.

So who's this

Stryker anyway?

He's a military scientist.

He spent his whole life

trying to solve

the mutant problem.

Ifyou want

a more intimate perspective,

why don't you ask Wolverine?

You don't remember,

do you?

William Stryker, the only

other man I know who can

manipulate adamantium.

The metal on your bones.

It carries his signature.

- But the professor—

- The professor trusted...

you were smart enough to

discover this on your own.

He gives you more credit

than I do.

- Why do you need us?

- Mystique has discovered plans

ofa base...

that Stryker's been

operating out offor decades.

We know that's where

he's building the second Cerebro...

but we don't know

where this base is...

and I believe

one ofyou might.

- The professor already tried.

- Once again, you think

it's all about you.

Oh... hello.

I didn't mean to snoop.

Just try and relax.

I'm sorry.

Stryker's at Alkali Lake.

That's where the professor

sent me. There's nothing left.

There's nothing left

on the surface, Logan.

The base is underground.

Hey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

How we doing?

Not good.

It'll take four or five hours before

I can get it offthe ground.

That's not what I meant.

I'm just worried

about Scott.

I'm worried about you.

That was some display

of power up there.

Obviously, it wasn't enough.

Hey, hey.

Come on. All right?

I love him.

Do you?

Girls flirt with

the dangerous guy, Logan...

they don't take him home.

They marry the good guy.

I could be the good guy.

Logan, the good guy

sticks around.

Jean.

Please. Please.

Don't make me

do this.

Do what?

This.

Excuse me.

They say you can

imitate anybody...

even theirvoice.

Even their voice.

Then why not

stay in disguise

all the time?

You know,

look like everyone else.

Because

we shouldn't have to.

Look―

No one's ever left a scar

quite like you.

What do you want,

an apology?

You know what I want.

But what do you want?

What do you really want?

I want you to get out.

Jesus.

Why don't we get uniforms?

Yeah, where's ours?

They're on order.

Should arrive in a few years.

We love what you've done

with your hair.

Hey, hey.

Come on. Let's go.

So, they say

you're the bad guy.

Is that what

they say?

That's a dorky-looking

helmet. What's it for?

This dorky-looking helmet

is the only thing

that's gonna protect me...

from the real bad guys.

- What's your name?

-John.

What's your real name,

John?

Pyro.

Quite a talent

you have there, Pyro.

I can only manipulate

the fire.

I can't create it.

You are a god among insects.

Never let anyone tell you different.

Sir, the machine

has been completed

to all specifications.

Good.

Ow!

If I may ask, sir, why are we

keeping the children here?

I'm a scientist,

Sergeant Lyman.

When l build a machine,

I wanna make sure that

it's working.

All right, this is

a topographic map

ofthe dam.

This is the spillway.

You see these

density changes

in the terrain?

They're tire tracks.

That's the entrance.

Mm-hmm. And this

shows the depth ofthe ice

that's covering the ground.

Now, this is recent

water activity.

Ifwe go in there,

Stryker could flood

the spillway.

Can you teleport inside?

No. I have to be able

to see where I'm going...

otherwise I could

wind up inside a wall.

I'll go. I have a hunch

he'll want me alive.

Wolverine, whoever goes into

the dam needs to be able to

operate the spillway mechanism.

What do you intend to do?

Scratch it with your claws?

I'll take my chances.

But I won't.

Sir, there's someone

coming down the spillway.

I'm flooding it.

Wait.

Stryker!

Stryker!

Well, look who's come home.

Move and you're dead.

The one thing I know

better than anyone

is my own work.

Seal the room. Shoot it.

Seal the room

Step away!

We have a metamorph loose.

Could be anybody.

Anybody?

What—

Can you override

the spillway mechanism?

Everything's controlled

from inside that room.

That's why the doors are so thick.

Oh, really?

Get some charges!

Blow the doors open!

Take out these cameras!

I'm in.

She's good.

You have no idea.

Fire in the hole.

Move, move, move.

Sergeant, she's opened

the spillway doors.

More mutants

have entered the base.

How many?

We've lost coms.

There's some sort of

electrical interference―

Sergeant Lyman,

gather the rest ofyour men

and meet me outside Cerebro.

You carry on.

When l come back, I want

this door open all the way!

Welcome, Professor.

- Don't leave me alone, please?

- You can come inside.

Have you found it?

A large portion ofenergy

from the dam has been diverted

to this chamber.

Cerebro.

There it is.

Can you shut it down

from here?

No.

Come. There's

little time.

Not without us.

Oh, my God.

The children.

- Kurt, will you come with me?

- Yes.

Where are they?

They're being held

in a containment cell one level down.

Stryker.

All right...

we'll get the children

and meet you at Cerebro.

Okay. I'll try to find Scott

and the professor.

- Will you be all right without us?

- Yeah. I'll be fine.

Where's Logan?

He's gone.

You, set up a perimeter.

Move, move.

Jason.

It's time.

Time to

find our friends.

Is it time to

find our friends?

- All ofthem.

- All ofthem?

- All ofthe mutants.

- All the mutants?

- Everywhere.

- Everywhere?

That's right.

Every one ofthem?

Oh, yes.

Good.

It's time to

bring it to an end.

Make me proud.

Just don't move.

Kill anyone

who approaches...

even if it's me.

Go! l'll take care of him!

This is one lover's quarrel

we cannot get involved in, my dear.

Scott!

Scott?

- Help us! Anybody!

- Listen.

Help! Get us out of here.

- Julie?

- Storm.

Get us out of here!

Okay, we're coming.

Scott!

Scott, don't do this!

Jean, no, no, no.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's me.

Scott.

I'm so sorry.

I thought I'd lost you.

Oh, God.

I'm so sorry. I could see you,

but I couldn't stop myself.

I tried.

I'm sorry.

I love you so much.

I love you.

My leg.

Okay, easy. Easy.

Scott...

something's wrong.

My God. No!

Have you found the mutants yet?

Have you found all ofthem?

I'm trying.

There are so many ofthem.

Then concentrate.

Concentrate.

The tricky thing about

adamantium is...

that ifyou ever

manage to process...

its raw, liquid form,

you gotta keep it that way.

Keep it hot.

Because once the metal cools,

it's indestructible.

But you already

know that.

I used to thinkyou were

one ofa kind, Wolverine.

I was wrong.

Holy shit.

That's it.

Whoa. Where do you

thinkyou're going?

I'm sick ofthis kid's table shit.

I'm going in there.

John, they told us to stay here.

You always do as you're told?

Find all the mutants.

Find them.

Find all the mutants.

Find them all. Each one.

All ofthem.

Good.

Kill them.

Concentrate. Concentrate harder.

Now, find them all.

Find all the mutants.

You, concentrate harder.

Kill them.

Kill them all.

Kill them.

Cerebro.

We're too late.

Eric, hurry!

That's strange.

How does it

look from there, Charles?

Still fighting the good fight?

From here, it doesn't

look like they're playing

byyour rules.

Maybe it's time to play by theirs.

There's been

a change of plan.

Good-bye, Charles.

There's been

a change of plans.

Now find them.

Find them all—

the humans.

Find all the humans.

Every one.

How does it feel, bub?

Why did you come back?

You cut me open.

You took my life!

You make it sound as if

I stole something from you.

As I recall,

it was you who volunteered

for the procedure.

Who am I?

You...

arejust a failed experiment.

If you really knew

about your past...

what kind of person you were...

the work we did together―

People don't change,

Wolverine.

You were an animal then.

You're an animal now.

I just gave you claws.

What the hell is that?

What is it?

The dam's ruptured.

It's gonna flood water

into the spillway.

It's trying to relieve the pressure.

It's too late.

In a few minutes,

we'll all be underwater.

Come with me, and I'll tell you

everything you want to know.

You can't help your friends.

They're as good as dead,

Wolverine.

You're a survivor,

always have been.

Oh, l thought

I wasjust an animal...

with claws.

If we die, you die.

Aaah!

There are no answers that way, Wolverine!

Find all the humans.

Every one. Find them.

Find all the humans.

Find them all.

- What is this?

- Cerebro.

Storm.

Jean.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

What's happening?

Professor's still in there...

with another mutant.

He's trapped

in some kind of illusion.

Oh, my God.

Magneto's reversed Cerebro.

It's not targeting mutants anymore.

- Who is it targeting?

- Everyone else.

Impossible.

- Everybody stand back.

- Scott, no. His mind is connected to Cerebro.

Opening the door could kill him

and everyone his mind is linked to.

Wait. Kurt,

I need you to

take me inside.

- Storm, who is this guy?

Who are you?

- My name is Kurt Wagner...

but in the Munich circus―

He's a teleporter.

I told you, if I can't see

where I'm going—

I have faith in you.

Don't believe

anything you see in there.

Our Father,

who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done on Earth—

as it is in heaven.

Hello.

What are you looking for?

Professor, can you hear me?

- You've got to stop Cerebro now.

- Who are you talking to?

No. Don't move.

But she'sjust a little girl.

No, she's not.

I've got my eyes on you.

Mr. Stryker.

Funny, we keep

running into each other.

Mark my words,

it'll never happen again.

Kurt, it's about

to get very cold in here.

I'm not going anywhere.

What are you doing?

Find all the humans. Kill them.

Every single one.

Find all the humans.

Focus. Focus.

Find all the humans.

Stop it!

Jason.

He's going to be

so angry at me.

Logan. Logan, where are you?

We have to get out

through the spillway.

You don't want to go

that way. Trust me.

Come on.

There's another way

out of here.

The helicopter

was right here!

I will take him.

Okay.

It's okay, Rogue. It's okay.

You can let go, honey.

- Let go.

- Go. I'll be fine.

You sure?

Yeah.

Who has the answers,

Wolverine?

Those people?

That creature

in your arms?

Huh?

Huh?

I'll take my chances with him.

One day, someone will finish

what I've started, Wolverine!

One day!

Scott, we've got to

get to Washington.

I fear this has gone beyond Alkali Lake.

Bobby.

I got 'im.

You okay?

I am now.

- What's wrong?

- Vertical thrusters are off line.

So fix 'em.

I'm trying.

- Has anyone seen John?

- Pyro?

Where the hell

is he?

He's with Magneto.

They're functioning,

but I don't know how long

they're going to last.

I'm trying to override.

It's not responding.

- Come on!

- Oh, no,

we've lost the power.

There's power in the fuel cells,

we'rejust not connecting.

Okay. l've―

Scott, the engine

control system is shot.

- Which part?

- All of it.

- Where's the override?

- It's gonna take some time.

Storm, we need some kind

ofexternal power.

- Jean?

- Wait. Where isJean?

She's outside.

No, we're not leaving!

Lower the ramp!

Storm, lower it!

I can't.

She's controlling the jet.

You, get her, now!

She's not letting me.

Damn it!

I know what I'm doing.

- This is—

- ...the only way.

Jean, listen to me.

Don't do this.

Good-bye.

- Oh, no! No!

- No! No!

She's gone.

- She's gone.

- Don't you say that!

We gotta go back.

She's gone.

No! No.

She's gone.

She's gone. She's―

She's gone.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

Yea, though I walk through

the valley ofthe shadow

ofthe death...

I will fear no evil...

for thou art with me.

Today I've been given

an opportunity to shed light

on recent occurrences...

from the attack that

ended in this office—

Good morning.

Good morning— to

the unexplained phenomenon

that swept the Earth...

nearly annihilating

our way of life.

Good morning, Mr. President.

Good morning. Do we like

this word "annihilating"?

Good morning.

Good morning,

Mr. President.

Thankyou.

Mr. President,

we're live in five, four,

three, two―

My fellow Americans,

in this time ofadversity...

we are being offered

a moment...

a moment

to recognize a growing threat

within our own population...

and take a unique role

in the shape of human events.

Did wejust lose the feed?

Are we still live?

Good morning, Mr. President.

Please, don't be alarmed.

We're not going to harm anyone.

- Who are you people?

- We're mutants.

My name is Charles Xavier.

Please, sit down.

- I'd rather stand.

- Rogue.

These files were taken

from the private offices

ofWilliam Stryker.

How did you get this?

Well, let'sjust say I know a little girl

who can walk through walls.

I've never seen

this information.

I know.

Then you also know

I don't respond well to threats.

Mr. President, this is not a threat.

This is an opportunity.

There are forces in this world,

both mutant and human alike...

who believe that a war is coming.

You will see from those files

that some have already

tried to start one...

and there have been casualties.

Losses on both sides.

Mr. President...

what you were about to

tell the world is true—

this is a moment.

A moment to repeat

the mistakes ofthe past...

or to work together

for a better future.

We're here to stay, Mr. President.

The next move is yours.

We'll be watching.

Mr. President.

You know...

even when Jean

was a student...

she was always hesitant

about her powers.

Always looking to others.

Feeling that in some way

she was left behind.

Do you think―

Could we have done

more to save her?

In the past, she may have let us.

There had to be another way.

Why did she leave the plane?

Because she made a choice.

Yes, come on in.

Hey, hey.

Listen, she did make a choice.

It was you.

Professor?

Is everything all right?

Yes, I think it will be.

Now, tell me, have any

ofyou read a book...

by an English novelist

named T.H. White...

called The Once and Future King?

No? Well—

Mutation.

lt is the key

to our evolution.

It is how we have evolved from

a single-celled organism...

into the dominant species

on the planet.

This process is slow...

normally taking thousands

and thousands ofyears.

But every

few hundred millennia...

evolution leaps forward.
