PROFESSOR X: The future.

A dark, desolate world.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER

PROFESSOR X: A world of

war, suffering, loss...

on both sides.

(WOMAN SOBBING)

Mutants and the humans

who dared to help them.

(SOBBING CONTINUES)

Fighting an enemy

we cannot defeat.

(MAN SPEAKING

(PANTING)

PROFESSOR X: Are we

destined down this path?

Destined to destroy ourselves

like so many species before us?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Or can we evolve fast

enough to change ourselves?

Change our fate?

(DISTANT GROWLING)

Is the future truly set?

(MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

PROFESSOR X:

So few of us left.

KITTY: Professor?

I've found them.

(POWERING UP)

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

BOBBY: Professor!

Bobby.

Hey, Storm.

Hey, kid.

KITTY: Professor,

you made it.

(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)

Whenever the Sentinels attack,

Warpath spots them...

then I send Bishop

back to warn us

of the attack before it happens.

Blink scouts the next site...

and then we leave before they

ever know we were there.

Because...

we never were.

What do you mean

you were never there?

She projects Bishop back in time

a few days to warn the others...

of the coming attack.

So she sends

Bishop back in time?

No, just his consciousness,

into his younger self.

His younger body.

Wow.

This might just work, Charles.

What might work?

The Sentinel program was originally

conceived by Doctor Bolivar Trask.

In the early '70s, he was one of the

world's leading weapons designers.

But, covertly, he had begun

experimenting on mutants...

using their gifts

to fuel his own research.

TRASK: This is extraordinary.

PROFESSOR X: There was one mutant who

had discovered what he was doing.

A mutant with the ability to

transform herself into anyone.

Mystique.

PROFESSOR X:

I knew her as Raven.

We met when we were children,

grew up together.

She was like a sister to me.

I tried to help her...

but only succeeded

in driving her away.

She hunted Trask

across the world.

And at the Paris

Peace Accords in 1973,

after the Vietnam War...

she found Trask...

and killed him.

(GUNSHOT)

It was the first

time she killed.

It wasn't her last.

But killing Trask did not have

the outcome she expected.

It only persuaded the government

of the need for his program.

(GASPS) PROFESSOR X: They

captured her that day...

tortured her,

experimented on her.

In her DNA, they discovered the secrets

to her powers of transformation.

It gave them the key

they needed...

to create weapons that could

adapt to any mutant power.

And in less than 50 years...

the machines

that have destroyed...

so many of our kind were created.

(LOW GROWL)

But it all started

that day in 1973...

the day she first killed.

The day she truly became...

Mystique.

You want to go back there.

If I can get to her,

stop the assassination...

keep her out of their hands...

then we can stop the Sentinels

from ever being born.

And end this war

before it ever begins.

Uh, I can send someone back

a couple weeks.

Maybe a month.

But you're talking about

going back decades.

You have the most powerful brain

in the world, Professor...

but the mind can only stretch

so far before it snaps.

It would rip you apart.

I'm sorry.

No one could survive that trip.

What if someone's mind

has a way of snapping back?

What if someone can heal as

fast as they're ripped apart?

It's a risk.

Yeah, I'm getting that.

BISHOP: Not just for you.

You do this, you change history.

Well, that's kind of the point.

Some of us could be killed.

Some of us may never be born.

We have no idea

how things may change.

BLINK: We could keep going.

Keep fighting.

STORM: Until what?

You've got a decision to make.

You can keep sending

Bishop back in time

over and over again to warn you,

until one day, he doesn't

make it, and you all die.

Or you can give up this life.

So that they and everyone

else who died in this war

can actually have a future.

You're asking us

to sacrifice our lives

for a future we might not

even be a part of.

Yes.

PROFESSOR X:

A second chance.

A better chance for everyone.

My people need to vote.

They just did.

They're in.

STORM: Okay, spread out.

BISHOP: Take your positions.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

So I wake up in my younger

body, God knows where.

Then what?

You'll need to go to

my house and find me.

Convince me of all of this.

Won't you be able to

just read my mind?

I didn't have my powers in 1973.

Logan, you're going to have to do

for me what I once did for you.

Lead me, guide me.

I was a very different man then.

You'll have to be patient with me.

(CHUCKLES)

Patience is my strongest suit.

You'll need me as well.

What?

MAGNETO: After Mystique left

Charles, she came with me...

and I set her on

a dangerous path.

A darker path.

It's going to take the two

of us, side by side...

at a time when we couldn't

be further apart.

Great.

So where do I find you?

Well, it's complicated.

Are you sure about this?

It's not just his power

that'll be tested.

I've seen what this

can do to you.

I can handle this.

Trust me.

I guess I'll see you in the next life.

(CHUCKLES)

KITTY: Basically, your

body will go to sleep

while your mind travels

back in time.

As long as you're back there, past and

present will continue to coexist.

But once you wake up...

whatever you've done will

take hold and become history.

And for the rest of us, it will

be the only history that we know.

It will be like the last

50 years never happened.

And this world, and this war...

the only person who will

remember it is you.

All right, Logan...

I need you to clear your head

and to stay as calm as possible.

What? What do you mean?

If your mind gets rocky, it will

be harder for me to hold you...

and you could start to slip

between past and future.

What if I need to get

a little rocky?

Think peaceful thoughts?

Peaceful thoughts...

Do you have any good news?

Well, you don't really age, so

you'll pretty much look the same.

BOBBY: You won't have

much time in the past.

The Sentinels will find us.

They always do.

And this time,

we won't be able to run.

We'll have no escape.

This is our last chance.

You really think this will work?

I have faith in him.

MAGNETO: It's not him I'm

worried about, it's us.

We were young...

we didn't know any better.

We will now.

See you all soon.

This might sting a little.

Hey, what's going on?

Gwen, get dressed.

LOGAN: Who the hell are you?

Hey, I don't know

what's going on.

You're supposed to be

guarding the boss's daughter,

not screwing her.

Well, I didn't sleep with her.

MAN: No?

No.

I mean, yes, I slept

with her many times.

Jimmy!

That wasn't me.

That was the old me.

I just got here 20 seconds ago.

MAN: Really?

Then what happened

to your clothes?

My... Oh.

Would you believe

me if I told you

I was sent here from the future?

Huh?

(CHUCKLES)

Get out of here, sweetheart.

Yeah.

We're gonna take care of this comedian.

LOGAN: No, you're not.

You're gonna give me the keys to

your car and some money for gas...

or you're gonna wake

up in the hospital.

Trust me, I know how

these things play out.

Oh. Because you're

No.

Because of these.

(SIGHS) And why are you

talking crazy talk?

Look, uh...

Gwen.

Gwen, you're gonna wanna lay

low for a few days, all right?

Starting now.

Come on, out.

Go.

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

(MAN SPEAKING OVER RADIO)

(EXHALES)

Hmm.

MAN: (OVER RADIO) Today, the 18th MP

Brigade is departing from Saigon,

marking the last American

troops to leave Vietnam.

And effectively ending the war.

SENATOR BRICKMAN: We are reviewing

all of our defense expenditures...

and all the black books

are being opened.

We can't support a weapon

that targets our own citizens.

If these mutants,

as you describe...

are already living among us...

then they are living

here peacefully.

PARKER: We haven't had an

incident in over 10 years.

After what happened in Cuba?

PARKER: That was

never confirmed.

We have very real

enemies out there...

the Russians, the Chinese.

We are talking about

a tenth of a tenth...

of a tenth of our population.

Allow me to read

something to you.

Please.

This was acquired by

our friends at the CIA.

It's a dissertation...

written by a mutant

at Oxford University.

And I quote...

"To Homo Neanderthalensis...

"his mutant cousin,

Homo Sapiens..."

which is us...

"was an aberration.

"The arrival of the mutated

human species, Homo Sapiens...

"was followed by the immediate

extinction of their less evolved kin."

Well...

Now, we are the Neanderthal.

Speak for yourself,

Dr. Trask.

(ALL LAUGHING)

(CHUCKLES)

You know, when you sent our

soldiers to Vietnam...

without the weapons they

needed to win the war...

you underestimated your enemy.

(CHUCKLING) You do that

with this enemy...

Mmm...

and it won't be some border

skirmish halfway around the world.

This time, the war will

be for our streets...

our cities, our homes...

and by the time you see the

need for my program...

it will be too late...

and you will have lost

two wars in one lifetime.

We are sorry,

Dr. Trask...

but your Sentinel Program...

it ain't gonna fly.

(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)

Can I help you, Colonel?

Just here to give our

boys a proper send-off.

I'm sorry, sir, but we have orders.

This is a quarantined area.

Stand aside, soldier.

That's an order.

SOLDIER: Atten-hut!

At ease.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What is all this?

Lab reports, blood tests.

It's all getting packed up

and shipped back.

Where is it going?

Same place they are.

Trask Industries.

STRYKER:

Let's go, gentlemen.

I'm taking you out

of this shit show.

HAVOK: Shipping home?

Not just yet.

What are you doing with those?

Something to make the ride

a little smoother.

I'm transferring you

to a private facility...

where we can run

a few more tests.

(COLONEL SANDERS

CLEARS THROAT)

Your men are not military.

Private outfit.

We're authorized

to remand these men.

Hmm.

These troops are going home.

Well, Colonel, I don't believe you

have jurisdiction in this matter.

I'm afraid I do, son.

I'm sorry, who are you?

The question is, Major...

who are you?

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

(SCREAMS)

(GRUNTS)

(CHOKING)

Raven!

That's not my name.

(GRUNTING)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

I had that.

I know.

Let's move out.

Come on, let's go.

HAVOK: Where's Erik?

I'm on my own now.

Let's go! Move it!

(SOLDIERS

YELLING INDISTINCTLY)

Hold that plane!

Wouldn't wanna leave these boys

in this godforsaken country.

SOLDIER: Yes, sir.

You're not coming

with us, are you?

My war's not over.

The enemy is still out there.

The four privates,

where did they go?

They were headed

towards the tarmac.

Can I help you?

Uh... Yeah, what

happened to the school?

The school's been shut for years.

Are you a parent?

(SCOFFS) I sure as hell

hope not. Who are you?

I'm Hank. Hank McCoy.

I look after the house now.

You're Beast?

Look at you. I guess

you're a late bloomer.

I don't know what

you're talking about,

but I'm gonna have

to ask you to leave.

(GRUNTS)

So where's the Professor?

There's no professor here.

You're pretty strong

for a scrawny kid.

You sure there's not

a little Beast in there?

No, he's not here.

Come on, Beast.

Come on, Beastie.

No.

(GRUNTS) Hey!

I said the school's closed.

You need to leave. Not

until I see the Professor.

There's no professor here,

I told you that.

Look, kid. You and I are

gonna be good friends.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

You just don't know it yet.

(GROANS)

Professor!

(GROANS)

(GRUNTS)

Professor!

(ROARS)

(GRUNTS)

(HANK ROARS)

(LOGAN SCREAMING)

(ROARS)

CHARLES: Hank?

What's going on here?

Professor?

Please don't call me that.

Why?

You know this guy?

Yeah, he looks

slightly familiar.

Get off the bloody

chandelier, Hank.

(GLASS CLINKING)

You can walk.

You're a perceptive one.

I thought Erik...

Which makes it

slightly perplexing that

you missed our

sign on the way in.

This is private property,

my friend.

I'm gonna have to ask him

to ask you to leave.

Well. (SIGHS)

I'm afraid I can't do that...

because, uh,

I was sent here for you.

Tell whoever it was

that sent you that I'm busy.

That's gonna be

a little tricky...

because the person

who sent me was you.

What?

About 50 years from now.

(LAUGHING)

I know. Stay with me.

Like in the future, 50

years from now? Yeah.

I sent you from the future?

Yeah.

CHARLES: Piss off.

If you had your powers, you'd

know I was telling the truth.

How do you know

I don't have my p...

Who are you?

LOGAN: I told you.

Are you CIA?

No.

You've been watching me?

I know you, Charles.

We've been friends for years.

I know your powers

came when you were 9.

I know you thought you were

going crazy when it started...

all the voices in your head.

And it wasn't

until you were 12...

that you realized all the voices

were in everyone else's head.

Do you want me to go on?

I never told anyone that.

Not yet, no, but, you will.

All right,

you've piqued my interest.

What do you want?

We have to stop Raven.

I need your help.

We need your help.

I think I'd like to wake up now.

(SIGHS)

What does she

have to do with this?

CHARLES: So you're saying...

they took Raven's

power, and what?

They weaponized it?

Yep.

She is unique.

Yeah, she is, Hank.

LOGAN: In the beginning, the Sentinels

were just targeting mutants.

Then they began to identify the

genetics in non-mutants...

who would eventually have mutant

children and grandchildren.

Many of the humans tried to help

us, but it was a slaughter.

Leaving only the worst

of humanity in charge.

I've been in a lot of wars.

I'd never seen

anything like this.

And it all starts with her.

Let's just say

for the sake of...

the sake, that I

choose to believe you...

that I choose to help you.

Raven won't listen to me.

(SIGHS)

Her heart and soul

belong to someone else now.

LOGAN: I know.

That's why we're

gonna need Magneto, too.

HANK: Erik?

(LAUGHING)

You do know where he is?

LOGAN: Yeah.

(CHARLES LAUGHING)

CHARLES: Could you give me

that one more time, please?

You heard me.

(LAUGHING)

He's where he belongs.

You're just gonna walk out?

Ooh, top marks. Like I

said, you are perceptive.

The Professor I know

would never turn his back...

on someone who'd

lost their path.

Especially someone he loved.

You know...

I think I do remember you now.

Yeah. Tall, angry fellow

with the contentious hair.

We came to you a long time ago...

seeking your help.

And I'm gonna say to you

what you said to us then.

Fuck off.

Listen to me, you little shit.

I've come a long way, and I've

watched a lot of people die.

Good people. Friends.

If you're gonna

wallow in self-pity...

and do nothing, then you're

gonna watch the same thing...

you understand?

We all have to die sometime.

Told you there was

no professor here.

What the hell happened to him?

HANK: He lost everything.

Erik, Raven...

his legs.

(SIGHS) We built the school,

the labs, this whole place...

then, just after

the first semester...

the war in Vietnam got worse.

Many of the teachers...

and older students were drafted.

It broke him.

He retreated into himself.

I wanted to help,

do something...

so I designed a serum

to treat his spine...

derived from the same formula that

helps me control my mutation.

(SIGHS) I take just enough

to keep myself balanced...

but he takes too much.

I tried easing him back...

but he just couldn't bear

the pain, the voices.

The treatment

gives him his legs...

but it's not enough.

He's...

He's just lost too much.

(SIGHS)

YOUNG RAVEN: You're

not scared of me?

YOUNG CHARLES: I always believed I

couldn't be the only one in the world.

Charles Xavier.

Raven.

You're hungry and alone.

Take whatever you want.

We've got lots of food.

You don't have to steal.

In fact...

you never have to steal again.

And that's a promise.

CHARLES: I'll

help you get her.

Not for any of your future

shite, but for her.

Fair enough.

But I'll tell you this.

You don't know Erik.

That man is a monster.

A murderer.

You think you can

convince Raven to change?

To come home?

That's splendid.

But what makes you think

you can change him?

Because you and Erik sent

me back here together.

HANK: The room

they're holding him in

was built during

the Second World War...

when there was

a shortage of steel.

So the foundation is pure

concrete and sand. No metal.

CHARLES:

He's being held...

a hundred floors

beneath the most

heavily guarded

building on the planet.

LOGAN: Why is he in there?

What, he forgot to mention?

(SNICKERING)

Uh, JFK.

He killed...

(CHUCKLING)

What else explains a bullet

miraculously curving through the air?

Erik's always had

a way with guns.

Are you sure you want

to carry on with this?

This is your plan, not mine.

HANK: We don't have any

resources to get us in.

CHARLES: Or out.

It's just me and Hank.

I knew a guy.

Yeah, he'd be a young man now.

Grew up outside of D.C.

(CHUCKLING)

He could get into anywhere.

I just don't know how the hell

we're gonna find him.

Is Cerebro out of the question?

LOGAN: If only you guys

had Internet.

What's "Internet?"

(SIGHS)

We have a phone book.

I thought you'd be getting

ready for your trip, sir.

I just came to

grab a couple files.

Is that a new scarf?

It's nice.

Thank you.

(BEEPS)

(BREATH TREMBLING)

(GASPS)

Dr. Trask?

One second.

Oh.

We added some names

to the Paris meeting.

Thank you.

Is something wrong, sir?

No. It's nothing.

Would you mind

typing up my itinerary?

I don't wanna miss anything.

LOGAN: Here, here, here.

CHARLES: Where?

Just stop here.

All right, all right.

LOGAN: Next time I'm driving.

Don't get used to it.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

(MAN TALKING ON TV)

(SIGHS)

What's he done now?

I will just write you a

check for whatever he took.

We just need to talk to him.

Peter! The cops

are here. Again.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I'm a princess.

What are you?

I'm the Wolverine.

Where's your brother?

Go upstairs and bug your sister.

But she bugs me!

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(PLAYING PING-PONG)

PETER: What do

you guys want?

I didn't do anything.

I've been here all day.

Just relax, Peter.

We're not cops.

Of course you're not.

If you were,

you wouldn't be

driving a rental car.

How did you know

we've got a rental car?

I checked your registration when

you were walking to the door.

I also had some time to kill

so I went through

your rental agreement.

Saw you were from out of town.

Are you FBI?

No, you're not cops. Hey, what's

with this gifted youngsters place?

That's an old card.

He's fascinating.

He's a pain in the arse.

What, a teleporter?

No, he's just fast.

And when I knew him

he wasn't so... young.

PETER: Young?

You're just old.

So you're not afraid

to show your powers?

What powers? What

are you talking about?

Do you see

something strange here?

Nothing anybody would

believe if you told them.

(ARCADE GAME PINGING)

So, who are you?

What do you want?

LOGAN: We need your help, Peter.

For what?

To break into a highly

secured facility...

and to get someone out.

Prison break?

That's illegal, you know.

Um...

Well, only if you get caught.

So, what's in it for me?

You, you kleptomaniac, get

to break into the Pentagon.

How do I know I can trust you?

Because we're just like you.

Show him.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

That's cool,

but it's disgusting.

TOUR GUIDE: Built in 1943, the Pentagon

is the world's largest office building...

ERIK: In three seconds, those

doors are going to open...

and 20 guards will

be here to shoot us.

I know. That's what

I'm waiting for.

What are you doing?

I'm holding your neck so

you don't get whiplash.

What?

(SLOWLY) Whiplash.

GUARD: Don't move!

(GRUNTS)

(ALL GROAN)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

PETER: You're

good, it'll pass.

It happens with everyone.

You must have done

something pretty serious.

What did you do, man?

What did you do?

What did you do? Why'd

they have you in there?

For killing the President.

Ah. Wow.

(WHISPERS) Shit.

The only thing I'm guilty of

is fighting for people like us.

You take karate?

You know karate, man?

I don't know karate.

But I know crazy.

(CHUCKLES)

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and

girls, this is a Code Red situation.

We are evacuating

the entire floor...

so that my associate and I...

can, uh, secure the prison.

Who are you?

We're special operations, CB...

FB-CID.

Perhaps you didn't hear me

when first I spoke...

but it is imperative

that you understand...

we're in a complete

lockdown situation.

We have to get you

to the third floor...

(GRUNTS)

Oh, I'm sorry.

Were you finished?

(GRUNTING)

They told me you control metal.

"They"?

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

You know, my mom once knew

a guy who could do that.

I'm sorry, I'm just not

very good with violence.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Charles?

(GRUNTS)

(CHARLES GROANS)

Good to see you too, old friend.

And walking.

No thanks to you.

You're the last person in the

world I expected to see today.

Believe me...

I wouldn't be here

if I didn't have to.

If we get you out of here,

we do it my way.

No killing.

No helmet.

I couldn't disobey

you even if I wanted.

I'm never getting

inside of that head again.

I need your word, Erik.

Nobody move!

Hold it right there!

Charles.

Hands up, or we will shoot!

Freeze them, Charles.

I can't.

Hands up!

Thanks, kid.

CHARLES: Peter,

thank you very, very much.

You take care.

PETER: Hey, I saw your

Why are you going to Paris?

Imagine if they were metal.

CHARLES: Do me a favor and

return it for me. Okay.

And, Peter?

Take it slow.

(CHUCKLES)

Where did they dig you up?

You're gonna find

this hard to believe...

but, uh, you sent me.

You and Charles.

From the future.

(SIGHS)

How did you lose them?

The treatment for my

spine affects my DNA.

You sacrificed your powers

so you could walk?

I sacrificed my powers

so that I could sleep.

What do you know about it?

I've lost my fair share.

Ha.

Dry your eyes, Erik.

It doesn't justify

what you've done.

You have no idea what I've done.

I know that you took the things

that mean the most to me.

Well, maybe you should have

fought harder for them.

If you want a fight, Erik...

LOGAN: Sit down.

I will give you a fight!

Let him come.

You abandoned me!

You took her away...

and you abandoned me!

Angel.

Emma.

Banshee.

Mutant brothers and sisters...

all dead!

Where were you, Charles?

We were supposed

to protect them!

Where were you when your

Pretending to be

Erik!

You abandoned us all.

So, you were always an asshole.

(SCOFFS)

Excuse me.

You're going to the Summit tomorrow?

(SIGHS)

(SWALLOWS)

I didn't kill the President.

The bullet curved, Erik.

Because I was

trying to save him.

They took me out before I could.

Why would you try and save him?

Because he was one of us.

(SCOFFS)

You must think me so foolish.

We've always said they

would come after us.

I never imagined they'd

use Raven's DNA to do it.

When did you last see her?

(CLICKS TONGUE)

The day I left for Dallas.

And how was she?

Strong.

Driven.

Loyal.

How... How was she?

She was...

We were...

I could see why she

meant so much to you.

You should be proud

of her, Charles.

She's out there

fighting for our cause.

Your cause.

The girl I raised was

not capable of killing.

You didn't raise her,

you grew up with her.

She couldn't stay a little girl

forever, that's why she left.

She left because you

got inside her head.

That's not my power.

She made a choice.

But now we know where

that choice leads, don't we?

She's going to murder Trask,

they're going to capture her...

and then they're

going to wipe us out.

Not if we get to her first.

Not if we change

history tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Charles...

for what happened.

I truly am.

It's been a while since I've played.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'll go easy on you.

Might finally be a fair fight.

You have the first move.

The diplomats from

all around the world

are arriving here

today at the Hotel Royal.

It's an historic day.

It's the, uh, official ending

of the United States' military

involvement in Vietnam.

There we have the South

Vietnamese Foreign Minister...

with other South

Vietnamese dignitaries.

The Summit doesn't begin

The hotel has arranged

a private room

your special guests.

TRASK: That will be

plenty of time.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Good afternoon, everyone.

Hello, thank you for coming.

Congratulations on

winning this war.

Now, I know you all

have hands to shake

and photos to take downstairs...

so I will get

right to the point.

There is a new enemy out there.

An enemy that will render

your arsenals useless...

your armies powerless...

and your nations defenseless.

TRASK: You will need a new weapon for

this war. I call them Sentinels.

Named after

the ancient guardians

that stood at

the gates of the citadel.

(GRUNTS)

They have the aeronautic

capabilities of a Harrier jet.

Armed with guns

that can fire off...

more than 2, 000 rounds per minute

of thermoceramic ammunition.

But size, power, speed...

you could find that

at Lockheed or Boeing.

No, what makes the

Sentinels so special...

is the ability to target

the mutant X-gene.

A genetic guidance system

that can lock onto a mark a half a

mile away. (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

It won't trigger unless it

has identified the target.

With this weapon, there will be

no human collateral damage.

If I turn it on, the system

couldn't even activate in here.

(BEEPING)

Unless there's a mutant.

(SPEAKING VIETNAMESE)

There has to be

some kind of mistake.

My machines don't make mistakes.

(SPEAKING VIETNAMESE)

What are you?

I'm going to keep you

We have to get out of here.

We want to know if there's

any sort of connection with...

(ALL CLAMORING)

Yesterday,

the Paris Peace Summit...

was rocked by the appearance

of unidentified assailants...

the likes of which

the world has never seen.

Mass hysteria has gripped

the nation as people ask...

"Where did they come from?

Will they be back?"

And most importantly,

"Are they friend or foe?"

That was London correspondent

Toby Elliot...

reporting from the

Paris Peace Summit yesterday.

Fuck me.

What the hell are we dealing with here?

Off the record.

Two days ago, this man,

Erik Lehnsherr...

escaped from a maximum security

prison inside the Pentagon.

We believe that this woman

is a former associate

of Lehnsherr's.

They were together in Cuba,

the day of the crisis in '62.

He was also implicated

in Kennedy's assassination.

What about that thing?

MAN: We don't know what

that thing is, sir.

Actually, we really don't

know what any of them are.

Yes. Yes, we do.

They're mutants.

He has the power

to control metal.

Last I checked, that's what

most of your weapons

were made of.

And she can transform

into anyone.

A general, a secret serviceman.

Even you,

Mr. President.

She could walk

into this office...

and order a nuclear strike

if she was in the mood.

And that's only two of them.

Do we have any countermeasures?

Any defense?

I was waiting for you

to ask me that question.

That's an experimental program, sir.

Strictly off the books.

(DOG BARKS)

You're telling me these mutants

are out in the world...

and our best defense

are these giant metal robots?

Many of the mutants

look like us.

My Sentinels can

tell the difference.

I have eight prototypes

ready to go.

They're built out of

a space-age polymer,

not an ounce of metal on them.

I want to make a demonstration.

I want the world to know

that we can protect them.

What do you need to get

these things operational?

I already gave that

number to Congress.

Unfortunately, they

elected to shut me down.

It's going to cost a bit

more to turn them on.

NIXON: Whatever you need.

TRASK: Oh, and one more thing.

If we do manage to capture

them, I would like her.

For research purposes,

of course.

I don't care who you screw,

as long as it's not me.

(NEWSREADER SPEAKING FRENCH)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Terrible thing.

What is?

Being born like that.

Is it?

Can you imagine...

Looking in the mirror and seeing that

staring back at you?

Yes, I can.

Where do you think she comes from?

You think she has a family?

Yes.

She does.

(NEWSREADER SPEAKING

FRENCH ON TV)

(BEGGING IN FRENCH)

If I see so much

as a screw move,

I will jam this

into your throat.

How did you find me?

You taught me well.

It's been a long time

since we were this close.

I missed you.

You tried to kill me.

So the rest of us could live.

What do you mean?

We received a message

from the future.

Don't lie to me.

I never have, and I never will.

Humans use your blood,

your genes,

to create a weapon

that wipes us all out.

I was only doing what I thought

necessary to secure our future.

So what's to stop me

from killing you

right now and

securing my future?

Nothing.

It doesn't matter anymore.

They have your DNA. Your

blood was on the street.

Whose fault was that?

Mine.

I've seen their plans.

They're creating a weapon.

And now they have what they

need to take it further.

We have to strike now, while

we still hold the upper hand.

I've seen too many

friends die, Erik.

I don't want a war.

I only want the man

who murdered them.

This is war.

What happened to you?

Did you lose your way

while I was gone?

Are you still Charles' Raven?

Or are you Mystique?

Trask is the enemy.

Killing one man isn't enough.

It never was for you.

Goodbye, Erik.

(GRUNTING)

LOGAN: What happened?

Come on.

Can he walk?

He needs his treatment.

Hank, I can hear them.

I know. It's okay.

Can you make it stop?

I'll get them.

(GROANS)

LOGAN: Hey, hey.

Pull yourself together.

It's not over yet.

(PANTING)

You don't believe that.

How do you know?

CHARLES: As these go...

this comes back.

They all come back.

Look.

I'm still here...

and she's still out there.

We need your help, Charles.

Not like this.

I need you.

We can't find Raven.

Not without your powers.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

HANK: I added a little extra

because you missed a dose.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Charles.

(IN HALES SHARPLY)

Hank, do me a favor.

Would you help me

to my study, please?

Come on, I got you.

(CHARLES GRUNTS)

Are you sure about this?

Absolutely not.

TRASK: This creature

is extraordinary.

Her genes could hold the key

to mutation itself.

I need more.

That's all they were able to

scrape off the pavement in Paris.

More than blood.

I need brain tissue...

spinal fluid, bone marrow.

Imagine...

Sentinels that could transform,

adapt to any target.

If I could just get

my hands on her.

This girl could leap

the program forward years...

decades into the future.

How old is your son now, Major?

Jason?

He's coming up on ten now,

if you can believe it.

Eight years from fighting age.

And how many of

our sons and brothers

did we just ship

home in body bags?

Maybe fifty,

fifty-five thousand?

And how many more

on the other side?

Never before...

in all of human history...

has there been a cause which

could unite us as a species.

Until now.

You really hate,

mutants, don't you?

On the contrary,

I rather admire them.

The things they can do.

I see mutants as our salvation.

A common enemy.

A common struggle

against the ultimate enemy.

Extinction.

I believe our new friends...

are going to help us

usher in a new era, Bill.

A new era of genuine...

and long-lasting peace.

You're just a little rusty.

You don't understand. It's not

I can flip the switches.

I can turn the knobs.

But my power comes from here.

It comes from...

And it's broken.

I feel like one of my students.

Helpless.

It was a mistake

coming down here.

It was a mistake freeing Erik.

This whole thing has

been one bloody mistake.

I'm sorry, Logan, but they

sent back the wrong man.

You're right.

I am.

Actually, it was

supposed to be you.

But I was the only one who could

physically make the trip.

And, uh...

And I don't know

how long I've got here.

But I do know that

a long time ago...

actually, a long

time from now...

I was your most

helpless student.

And you unlocked my mind.

You showed me what I was.

You showed me what I could be.

I don't know how

to do that for you.

You're right.

I don't.

But I know someone who might.

Hmm.

Look into my mind.

You saw what I did to Cerebro.

You don't want me

inside your head.

There's no damage you can do...

that hasn't already

been done. Trust me.

Come on.

(SCREAMING)

Hey.

Hey, Logan.

Hi, Jean.

Kill me.

I love you.

So this is what becomes of us.

Erik was right.

Humanity does this to us.

Not if we show

them a better path.

You still believe?

Just because someone

stumbles, loses their way...

it doesn't mean

they're lost forever.

Sometimes we all need

a little help.

Oh, I'm not the man I was.

I open my mind...

and it almost overwhelms me.

You're afraid,

and Cerebro knows it.

All those voices...

so much pain.

It's not their pain

you're afraid of.

It's yours, Charles.

And as frightening

as it may be...

that pain will

make you stronger.

If you allow

yourself to feel it...

embrace it...

it will make you more powerful

than you ever imagined.

It's the greatest

gift we have...

to bear their pain

without breaking.

And it's born...

from the most human power.

Hope.

Please, Charles...

we need you to hope again.

Find what you were looking for?

If we wake Logan now...

we may set our fate

They need more time.

There is someone else.

No, no one has Kitty's power.

Someone that could

take her power,

take her place.

She took yours once.

Rogue.

I'm sorry, Bobby,

she must be dead.

I haven't been able to make

That's because

they're keeping her

your mind can't reach

from the outside.

She's in Cerebro.

She's in your house, Professor.

They're experimenting on her.

Trying to tap into her power,

so they can take ours.

Take all of ours.

didn't you go after her?

We tried. It's too

If you kill Trask...

you will be creating countless

more just like him.

Then I'll kill them, too.

Those are Erik's words,

not yours.

Oh!

wasn't capable of killing.

She was good...

fair, full of compassion.

I have compassion.

Just not for Trask.

He's murdered too many of us.

I'm barely holding on.

I'm not strong enough yet.

But we can stop it,

Like what?

protocol for mutants.

I set the system I designed...

to record any news about Paris

over all three networks...

and PBS.

All three? Wow.

Yeah, and PBS.

Look what I found.

Tomorrow, in front

of the White House,

the President will

make his announcement.

He will be joined by Secretary

of Defense Laird...

and has even sought the help

of renowned scientist

Bolivar Trask...

his special advisor

to combat this mutant issue.

The White House has asked...

CHARLES: Raven

doesn't realize...

that if she kills Trask

at an event like that...

with the whole world watching...

Then I came a

long way for nothing.

And there's more bad news.

I saw in a report...

they found traces

of her blood in Paris.

For all we know,

they already have her DNA...

which is all they'd need.

To create the

Sentinels of the future.

There's a theory

in quantum physics...

that time is immutable.

It's like a river. You can

throw a pebble into it...

and create a ripple, but the

current always corrects itself.

No matter what you do, the river just

keeps flowing in the same direction.

What are you trying to say?

What I'm saying is...

what if the war is inevitable?

What if she's

meant to kill Trask?

What if this is just

simply who she is?

Just because someone stumbles,

loses their way...

doesn't mean

they're lost forever.

No, I don't believe

that theory, Hank.

And I cannot believe

that is who she is.

CHARLES: Ready the plane.

We're going to Washington.

(BEEPING)

You all right?

Getting there.

(SIGHS)

Whatever happens today, I need

you to promise me something.

You've looked into my mind

and seen a lot of bad...

but you've seen the good, too.

The X-Men.

Promise me you'll find us.

Use your power,

bring us together.

Guide us. Lead us.

Storm. Scott.

Jean.

Remember those names.

There are so many of us.

We will need you, Professor.

I'll do my best.

Your best is enough.

Trust me.

(WIND HOWLING)

There's 12 carriers

inbound, 10 miles!

They've found us.

REPORTER: Thousands of people

will be gathered here today.

They've come from

all over the world...

to witness history,

along with news crews...

from at least

50 different countries.

Thank you.

(BEEPS)

Can I see your

invitations, please?

Yes, you may.

These two are with me.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

CHARLES: Logan!

SECURITY OFFICER:

Please, this way, sir.

Fourth infantry...

Took a Bouncing Betty.

What happened to you?

Friendly fire.

The worst kind.

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT VOICES)

I haven't found her yet,

but she has to be here.

ANNOUNCER: The President

of the United States.

(PATRIOTIC MUSIC PLAYS)

(CROWD CHEERING)

My fellow Americans...

today we face the gravest

threat in our history...

mutants.

(VOICES RESUME)

We have prepared

for this threat.

(INDISTINCT VOICES IN HEAD)

In the immortal words

of Robert Oppenheimer...

"Behold.

"The world will never be

the same again."

(PATRIOTIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

(COUNTRY MUSIC

PLAYING ON RADIO)

Can I help you?

No, you can't.

(STATIC)

Here they come.

(INDISTINCT VOICES IN HEAD)

RAVEN: This is for you,

brothers and sisters.

Raven?

I have her.

(WITH RAVEN'S VOICE)

Let me go, Charles.

There. You see?

Secret Serviceman.

Left of the stage.

Got him.

CHARLES: Go.

(SENTINELS POWERING UP)

What the hell are you doing?

I didn't tell you

to activate them.

I didn't.

(CROWD GASPING)

CHARLES: Raven,

please, listen to me.

We've been given a second

chance to define who we are.

Don't do this.

Gentlemen, you cannot

pass this point.

We can't stop that many.

No, but we can slow them down.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(SCREAMING)

Erik!

(SCREAMING CONTINUES)

Ah!

(PANTING)

Storm!

(GROANS)

(SNARLS)

(YELLING)

Go, go, go!

(MEN CLAMORING)

MAN: Watch your head!

(SIRENS WAILING)

MAN 1: Go, go, go!

MAN 2: Take us to DEFCON 3.

Mr. President,

we are Code Red.

MAN 3: What's our air

defense readiness?

MAN 2: All our air

defenses are ready one.

NIXON: What the hell

happened out there?

I will fix it.

You said that before.

I wanted to make a statement.

Now the whole goddamn world

knows we can't protect them.

TRASK: I will fix it.

NIXON:

You damn well better.

(GRUNTS)

(CROWD SCREAMING)

Charles!

No, no, no...

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH PANTING)

(FEMALE DISPATCH ER SPEAKING

OVER RADIO)

(SIRENS WAILING)

(BOTH PANTING)

STORM: Is everybody okay?

(GROANS SOFTLY)

(GASPS)

No!

Behind you.

Ah!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

COLOSSUS: Now!

(SCREAMS)

(SUNSPOT SCREAMING)

(GROANS)

(ROARING)

Do what you were made for.

(GRUNTS)

Where are you?

Ah!

(GROANS)

(ROARS)

I got this! Go!

(LOGAN COUGHS)

(GROANING)

(GRUNTING)

Oh, dear God, no.

(SCREAMING)

So much for being a survivor.

(GASPING)

(GLASS CRACKING)

(ALARM RINGING)

(DETECTOR BEEPING)

One of them is in here.

(MEN SHOUTING)

TRASK: No, no, no!

Don't kill it!

I need it alive.

(RUMBLING)

(GRUNTING)

What the hell has happened?

(METAL CREAKING)

(ALL GROANING)

(IN HALING)

(GROANS)

You built these

weapons to destroy us.

Why?

Because you are

afraid of our gifts.

Because we are different.

Humanity has always feared

that which is different.

Well, I am here to tell you...

to tell the world...

you are right to fear us.

We are the future.

We are the ones

who will inherit this earth.

And anyone who

stands in our way...

will suffer the same fate

as these men...

you see before you.

Today was meant to be a

display of your power.

Instead I give you a glimpse...

of the devastation my race

can unleash upon yours.

Let this be a warning

to the world.

And to my mutant brothers

and sisters out there...

I say this.

No more hiding.

No more suffering.

You have lived in the shadows...

in shame and fear for too long.

Come out.

Join me.

Fight together in

a brotherhood of our kind.

A new tomorrow...

that starts today.

(GROANS)

MAGNETO:

All those years wasted...

fighting each other, Charles.

To have a precious

few of them back...

(GROANS)

Mr. President, sir.

Stand down.

I said, stand down!

You want to make a statement?

Kill me. Fine.

But spare everyone else.

(GRUNTING)

Very heroic,

Mr. President...

but you had no intention...

of sparing any of us.

The future of our

species begins now.

(GUNS COCKING)

(BEEPING)

(GASPING)

You used to be a better shot.

Trust me, I still am.

Get out of my head, Charles!

Raven.

Please, do not make us

the enemy today.

Look around you.

We already are.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

CHARLES: Not all of us.

All you've done so far...

is save the lives of these men.

You can show them a better path.

Shut her down, Charles.

I've been trying to control you

ever since the day we met...

and look where that's got us.

Everything that happens now...

is in your hands.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

I have faith in you, Raven.

(EXHALES)

RAVEN: He's all yours, Charles.

(GRUNTS)

If you let them have me,

I'm as good as dead.

You know that.

I know.

Goodbye, old friend.

Goodbye, Erik.

(HELICOPTER HOVERING)

(SIGHS)

HANK: Are you sure you

should let them go?

CHARLES: Yes.

I have hope for them.

There's going to be a time,

Hank, when we are all together.

HANK: What about Logan?

KITTY: Buckminster Fuller is a

great example of an architect...

whose ideas were very similar

to those of a utopian future.

Good morning, Logan.

Late start. (CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Have a good lunch.

Good job.

STUDENT: Thank you.

STORM: Very good job.

LOGAN: Storm.

Jean.

Hey, Logan.

Jean.

Are you okay?

You're here.

Where else would I be?

Whoa.

Easy, pal.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, some things never change.

It's good to see you, Scott.

Uh-huh.

See you later, Jean.

Professor.

Logan, is everything all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it is.

You did it.

Did what?

Logan, don't you have

a class to teach?

A class to teach?

History.

History?

Actually, I could use

some help with that.

Help with what?

Pretty much

everything after 1973.

I think the history I know

is a little different.

Welcome back.

It's good to see you, Charles.

It's good to see everyone.

Well...

I had a promise to keep.

You and I have a lot of

catching up to do.

Yeah.

What's the last thing

you remember?

Drowning.

CHARLES: The past.

A new...

and uncertain world.

CHARLES: A world of

endless possibilities.

And infinite outcomes.

You kidding me?

Oh, he's alive!

(COUGHS)

CHARLES: Countless

choices define our fate.

Each choice, each moment...

a ripple in the river of time.

What do you want us to do

with him, Major Stryker?

CHARLES: Enough ripples...

and you change the tide.

I'll take him from here.

CHARLES: For the future

is never truly set.
