Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 15 - Hunting Grounds - full transcript
Mojo takes Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch to put them on TV.
SCARLET WITCH: Kurt?
Kurt, is everything all right?
(SIGHS) Just wunderbar.
I thought maybe you'd let me
read to you. Just to pass the time.
Sorry, not today.
Then maybe we could just talk.
You know, about movies or...
I don't think so.
Look, I spoke with
my father again, but...
Let me guess, he still refuses.
Kurt, it's just that he knows
what'll happen if he lets you out.
You'll tell everyone
about the prisons here.
And then mutants would
stop coming to Genosha,
mutants who should come.
He knows what he's doing,
(WHOOSHING) and he...
(SCARLET WITCH GASPS)
Wanda?
Wanda, are you still there?
(GASPING) I told
you this wasn't over.
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLS)
(GRUNTS)
(GROWLS)
Father?
Lorna, you shouldn't
be up this late.
Did something happen to
Wanda? I heard she's missing.
Oh, she'll be fine, dear.
I'll make sure of it.
Um, who told you
there was a problem?
Pyro. Why?
Oh, just wondering.
Now don't let this
upset you, all right?
Go on back to bed.
Okay. Good night.
Search every
inch of this island.
And if Nightcrawler has
hurt a single hair on her head,
take care of him.
(GRUNTING)
You, Pyro, have
done quite enough.
(EXCLAIMS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Tell me you did this.
Nein. But I know
who did. Spiral.
Spiral?
Wasn't she...
Let's go.
We must find a way out of here.
Isn't Spiral that pirate who was
kidnapping mutants headed to Genosha?
Yeah, but after I stopped her,
she promised it wasn't over.
She's a woman of her
word, I'll give her that.
Welcome, my esteemed guests.
What is going on here?
Rejoice,
for you have both
been specially chosen
to compete in this week's exciting
episode of Mojo's Hunting Grounds!
You abducted me for some game?
Are you out of your mind?
Wanda, don't provoke him.
MOJO: After all, what an exciting
opportunity to test your mutant mettle.
And in return,
all I ask is that you
survive at least 52 minutes
for commercial breaks.
Do you have any idea who I am?
Absolutely. I know
exactly who you are.
You're a damsel!
The distraction, the drama
for our next riveting episode!
ANNOUNCER: Coming soon, the
return of the amazing Nightcrawler.
Witness the blue-furred X-Man
fighting tooth and nail in
this long-awaited rematch!
But how will he survive
protecting the love of his life,
the beautiful Crimson Witch?
That's Scarlet Witch,
you stupid freak!
And I don't need protecting!
And she's not
the love of my life.
MOJO: Cameras are rolling!
Lights... And action!
(GRUNTS) I tell him I
don't need protecting,
and then you protect me.
How does that make me look?
It's not protecting,
it's helping.
There's a difference.
We need to keep moving. Why?
Do you really want to fight
for Mojo's entertainment?
(CACKLING)
Run or fight, Nightcrawler.
Either way, we
will be entertained.
It would be wise not to
underestimate these X-Men, Mojo.
They're a dangerous breed.
Ooh, yes.
Yes, they are.
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
(BOTH PANTING)
That's it, I'm through running.
No, that's giving
him what he wants.
Mutants being hunted for sport
is exactly the kind of thing
my father fights against.
Yes, in the war between
mutants and humans.
But this Mojo, I don't
know where he fits into that.
We have nothing to prove to him.
Wanda, your life
is important to me.
Don't risk it over this.
(GROWLING)
I'm just going to
disarm this guy.
I'll be right back.
(GRUNTING)
On second thoughts, running
has been working just fine.
(BOTH PANTING)
(EXCLAIMS)
What is that? A wall?
It's some sort of dome.
We're inside a dome.
Can you teleport us out of here?
No, not without seeing
what's on the other side.
Otherwise, it can get messy.
Maybe I can give us a look.
(GASPING) We're
underwater?
There's no way out.
Wanda, I'm so sorry.
They were after me, not you.
You just got swept up into this.
(RUSTLING)
(GRUNTS)
Bad news for them.
Huh?
(GRUNTING)
(SHOUTING)
Ha!
Is our featured guest
ready for his close-up?
Yes, Mojo. But the
Reavers are doing well.
Should we really risk moving on
to round two with the new hunter?
The Reavers?
Those miswired buffoons
don't stand a chance out there.
They're cannon fodder.
Boring!
What we have got here
is a celebration of my
entertainment genius.
The gold standard to
which all contenders
will be judged.
A hunter unlike any
we've ever encountered.
Wolverine.
(SNARLS)
(FIRE CRACKLING) Well, at least
it looks like Logan had a good time.
Who do you think was dumb enough
to attack him outside
his own house?
Wait.
I don't think he won this fight.
(GROANING)
(ALARM BLARING)
Did they run away because of us?
(GUNS BLASTING)
(WOLVERINE SCREAMING)
Uh, I think that would be no.
What is it?
(GROWLING)
Logan? Logan, is that you?
(SNARLS)
Oh, dang.
Logan, what are you doing?
It's me, Kurt. Nightcrawler.
You know, Elf?
I don't think you're
ringing any bells.
(ROARS)
(CLAWS SLASHING)
I don't know how anyone
could control Wolverine like that.
He's going to catch us, Kurt.
And we won't even
know it until it's too late.
We just have to stay out of his way
long enough to come up with a plan.
Look, we either run until
we're too exhausted to fight,
or we fight now while
we have the strength.
You seriously want
to attack Wolverine?
It's him or us.
We need to neutralize the
threat, fast and permanently.
You sound just like your father.
It's called survival, Kurt.
Survival shouldn't be
about turning on your friends.
Okay, then, what do you suggest?
If I can remove that
device on his head,
maybe he'll snap out of it.
Then he'll be on our side.
And if that doesn't work?
Then I'll make up
something else.
(GROWLING)
(GRUNTING)
(BOTH SCREAM)
(EXCLAIMS)
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMS)
Uh-oh, I think I made it worse.
(GROWLING)
Kurt!
MOJO: Oh, yes.
You cannot script
action like this!
Something isn't right.
Are we watching
the same program?
This Wolverine is the perfect
predator. Oh, he was clearly made
to be controlled!
Well, so much for control.
His implants are surging.
He's offline.
What?
I'm sorry, I'm
unable to locate him.
The Professor could have.
You know how this works,
Ororo. It's a grid search,
and Logan could be on the other
side of the world, for all we know.
This will take time.
I understand.
Please keep trying.
You know he's gonna be
ticked if we don't rescue him.
Come to think of it, he's
gonna be ticked if we do.
(PANTING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLING)
(SNARLING IN RAGE)
Stop! My stomach is
still two teleports back.
What are you doing?
I've been looking for a way out.
And I think I found it.
There.
(GRUNTING)
It's sealed.
He's out there, I can feel it.
Good, because
that's going to help us.
What? Go hide
behind those trees.
(WOLVERINE GROWLING)
He's using Wolverine
to get through the door.
Do you have any idea what will
happen to us if they get in here?
Okay. Show's
over. Pull the plug.
(SNIFFING)
That should do it.
We just need to
lure him away and...
(METALLIC SCRAPING)
(GROWLING)
(PANTING)
He's going to kill us, Kurt.
We have to take him
down, and I mean for good!
No, Wanda!
I'm going after that
headgear again.
(BOTH SCREAMING)
(GASPS)
Logan?
(GASPING)
It worked. How do you know?
I saw it in his eyes.
You saw it in his...
You're kidding, right?
He'll be fine, Wanda.
Now I'm going to try to get
that hatch open down there.
Just make sure
he doesn't fall in.
(GASPING)
Wanda!
(GASPING)
What happened?
I dropped him.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. At
least he's all right.
The hatch is open, but
it's not draining fast enough.
We need to go through it.
Oh, that's not good.
Spiral! They're coming!
My turn! Get me out of here!
Now!
(EXCLAIMING)
(SCREAMS) You
think you're so noble.
I saw what you did.
I don't know who you are,
but I'm pretty sure
I don't like you.
(BOTH GRUNT)
(GROANS)
(SNARLS)
(GASPS)
Take another step and
I'll skewer the rodent!
Listen up, tubbo.
You drop him right now
or you'll be counting a few
more holes in your head.
Spiral?
(GRUNTS)
This demands a sequel!
Elf? Hey, you okay?
Come on, wake up.
Logan? Yeah.
Now, someone wanna tell
me what's going on here?
You sure bringing her
back here is the right move?
It's what she wants.
(WOLVERINE GRUNTS)
(METAL SNAPPING)
Where is my daughter?
You got the wrong idea, Magneto.
I'm here, Father.
Wanda.
I want you to let them go.
I'll release them once they're
safely contained in cells.
They didn't take me, Father.
They're just bringing me back.
I'm sorry, but I can't allow
them to leave this island.
They saved my life!
Isn't that worth their freedom?
So this is your
paradise, huh, Magneto?
Paradise has its
price, Wolverine.
Come, Wanda.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
Don't thank me,
not after what I did.
What do you mean?
When the dome was flooding
and I was holding on
to Wolverine in the tree...
Yeah.
I didn't drop him.
I let him go.
Why? I don't know. I...
I guess it's because that's
what my father would have done.
So I thought it was right.
Why are you telling me this?
Because you showed
me it was wrong.
Come back with us, Wanda.
You don't have to stay here.
Yes, I do.
My place is with my father.
Goodbye, Kurt.
And look, he's
got Kurt with him.
Does Wolverine
look angry to you?
I think he looks angry.
He always looks like that.
Kurt, is everything all right?
(SIGHS) Just wunderbar.
