Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 13 - Battle Lines - full transcript
Magneto sends his Acolytes to break several mutants out of prison.
Can I help you, Dr. Peterson?
I'm needed in Omega level.
Sorry. You don't have
clearance below this floor.
Who does?
Well, Colonel Moss and Dr. Rao.
But you should already know...
Identity accepted.
Welcome, Colonel Moss.
Colonel? What a surprise.
Are you...?
Raise it, Dr. Rao.
Now open it. Why on
Earth would you want...?
Open it!
I can't! No one can.
It was designed to
never be opened.
Scanner, get me Magneto.
We have a problem.
Why do you doubt
we can pull this off?
Seriously, ever since you
stuck me with the Brotherhood
I think we've done
pretty well for you.
Aside from trying to send
me an unstable mutant
that would have
vaporized half of Genosha.
"Would have."
But it didn't happen.
No more mishaps, Pietro.
Unless you prefer to
remain with the Brotherhood
indefinitely.
I need success on this one.
No more secrets, Pietro.
I want to know what
you guys are planning.
Let's get something
straight, Rogue.
You ever spy on me again,
and it'll be the last time.
Oh, no.
Rogue, wait. Whatever
you think this is about...
Don't. I know what he knows.
You're going after the X-Men.
But this isn't
about them, Rogue.
It's about everything
else. About saving all of us.
All mutantkind.
Magneto is trying to help.
He doesn't want the X-Men hurt,
but they just won't
get out of the way.
That's not what
Quicksilver thinks.
Even you can see how the
MRD has become unstoppable.
If we don't act, the
humans will exterminate us.
We need you here, Rogue.
And unlike the X-Men,
we want you here.
Don't believe me?
Then take my memories.
Dom, I'm sorry.
So, uh, Kitty, I wanted
to ask, you know,
if you're not too busy,
do you wanna go
get a bite to eat?
We're eating now.
Right.
Right, I... I mean...
Where's Logan?
I hope he's fixing
the locks on this place.
It's important. I
need to talk to him.
Let me clarify what Kitty means.
You're not welcome here, Rogue.
Logan, the Brotherhood
works for Magneto.
And I just found out they're
making a move tonight
against the X-Men.
Why don't you
just give it a rest?
Listen to me. Something
else is going on.
Quicksilver didn't know it all,
but Magneto is
planning something big.
Okay, you wanna keep
crying wolf, then come on.
Logan.
So anyway, about
that bite to eat?
Logan, just listen.
Logan.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to help you.
I remember the last time
you helped us, Rogue.
That didn't work out so well.
I had to side with
the Brotherhood.
That day when
they approached me,
I took memories from Toad.
He knew something
was in the works
but that's all he knew.
I needed to get closer.
I should have been in on it.
And I should have had
more reasons to trust you.
Until your story checks
out, you're staying right here.
Logan! Logan!
Here are the numbers.
Public resentment is growing.
Apparently, people
don't like being dragged
out of their beds in
the middle of the night
during the MRD's investigations.
Get to the point, Sybil.
Congressional support is waning.
Funding for the
MRD is in jeopardy.
I won't let that
happen. I can't.
Humanity's survival
depends on it.
And yet you risk a war that
will ensure their destruction.
If someone sees you,
it could ruin everything.
This wasn't the deal.
As I recall, senator,
the deal was that
you deliver to me
every single mutant that
your blundering MRD captures.
That's exactly what we've done.
Stop playing games, Robert.
It doesn't suit you.
I know full well
that the MRD is holding back
the most powerful
mutants they capture.
You must think that
humans are stupid, Magneto.
Do you really think we would
just hand you weapons like that?
You got your country, your
people, all as we agreed.
We're just keeping the
most dangerous ones.
Besides, what are
you gonna do about it?
Going to do?
Dear senator,
I've already begun.
Hey.
We leave no one standing.
Who's there?
Emma? Please, you're a telepath.
Read my mind. You'll
see I'm telling the truth.
They're coming.
What'd you find out?
Nothing.
Rogue's mind is a broken
patchwork of thoughts
from everyone
she's ever touched.
Sorting it out will take
days, maybe weeks.
Change of heart about her story?
Rogue ain't stupid. She
had to know how we'd react,
but she came anyway.
Here's the plan: we're...
Why aren't you guys geared up?
What, you can't tell
me you believe her.
Not after... One,
I told you to get ready,
so you should be ready.
And two, if those Brotherhood
clowns wanna mess with us,
then we'll go after them.
Wait. We won't
need to. They're here.
Take out the
telepath first: check.
Invite ourselves in: check.
Whoa.
It's now safe to wipe
the floor with the X-Men.
Ha! What are you gonna do now?
Can't risk hurting...
Emma. Emma, wake up..
Pryde, phase.
Watch out!
Rogue, it's possible...
And I'm not saying for sure.
But it's possible I
owe you an apology.
Nobody's that lucky, darling.
Dom, don't.
We all choose sides, Rogue.
Oh, my nose.
I think Quicksilver
broke my nose.
Here. Thanks.
Let's dump this
trash at the corner
and call the MRD on them.
Pietro here will like that.
Rogue was right. This
was all a diversion.
Guys, something's happening.
You should see this.
And where the heck were you?
Reports coming in
all across the country,
where the MRD is under siege.
At least 12 facilities
have been destroyed
in simultaneous attacks
by what witnesses are
calling a mutant army.
It was a diversion.
Magneto wanted us out of the way
so he could take down the MRD.
Only the central facility
hasn't been attacked yet.
Wait, Magneto just
took out the MRD.
Isn't that a good thing?
Yeah, but don't
think for a second
Kelly's gonna lay down for this.
Which means
Magneto will finally get
what he wants: war.
And thanks to the Professor,
we've seen where that war leads.
Now you wanna get ready?
Looks like they're
in the thick of it.
Incoming.
Oh, this is bad.
Yeah.
Juggernaut.
Wait a minute.
Juggernaut as in the
unstoppable Juggernaut?
The totally invulnerable
Juggernaut?
That'd be the one.
So, what could do this to him?
Never mind.
Get out!
Oh, man.
Frost, go up in the
Blackbird with Forge
and try to shut that thing down.
Keep us in telepathic contact.
Hank, Rogue, Kitty,
protect the crowds.
Ororo, Summers,
Drake, you're with me.
What are we doing? Guess.
Steady.
Are you reading this, Frost?
No, it's very odd.
It's as if there's
static in its mind.
Wow, so you couldn't read
Rogue's mind and now this.
I thought you were...
Did I say that out loud?
Make the call, Logan.
Now.
It's just a kid.
Nice.
Logan. It's...
It's a girl.
It's a little girl up there.
Yeah, a little girl
that's trashing the city.
I've broken through the static.
The girl's name is Tildie.
Juggernaut has
placed a device on her,
something that's
causing her to lash out.
She can't stop.
You have to remove the device.
I can get through.
Pryde, no.
Hank, stop her!
Rogue, get out of here.
Find Nightcrawler,
Angel, any X-Men you can.
We'll try to hold it. Go.
Move. Move.
Rogue, run.
What are you...?
You might wanna move.
I... I can't stop.
Please, please help me.
It's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.
Who...? Who are you?
We're the X-Men.
The mutant epidemic
grows larger by the day.
And our means of
defending ourselves
against these creatures
has been destroyed.
The human threat
looms larger than ever.
The uneasy peace I
have tried to construct
has been destroyed,
betrayed by humans who hate us
simply for existing.
With the support and funding
that I've been promised,
and the cooperation of
Worthington Industries,
humanity will level
the playing field.
MRD has been
imprisoning mutants,
never to be seen again.
They amass weapons,
readying for war.
This is the savior of mankind.
Project Sentinel has begun.
And when the war begins,
humanity will triumph.
Make no mistake.
The humans will strike first.
And when they do,
we will be ready.
No way around it.
Magneto got what he wanted.
Kelly's preparing for war
and we didn't make
a shred of difference.
Logan...
Face it, Charles.
You were wrong. I'm no leader.
I failed.
Do you really
believe that, Logan?
Because from where I sit,
what you've accomplished
is nothing short of amazing.
You've reassembled the X-Men.
You've rebuilt the school.
By virtue of that alone,
you've given hope to the future.
But sometimes
success is measured
just one life at a time.
I'm needed in Omega level.
Sorry. You don't have
clearance below this floor.
Who does?
Well, Colonel Moss and Dr. Rao.
But you should already know...
Identity accepted.
