Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 16 - Badlands - full transcript
In the future, Professor Xavier and his new X-Men fight the Sentinels.

(GRUNTS)
What are these things?
Don't know. Never
seen them before.
Don't be a hero,
Domino. Let's go!
Maybe we lost them.
(SHRIEKING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLS)
(GRUNTS)
(GROWLS)
(WHISPERING) Wow.
Let's see. TB-9 conduits with optic
relay junctions, all hard-lining to...
There. That's a
positronic processor,
the brains of this operation.
Let's move.
Why don't we just call the
other X-Men and trash this place?
'Cause that'll just
slow them down.
We need to shut them down,
and we can't do that until
we know what we're fighting.
Whoa! I've never seen
encoding this advanced.
Download what you
can. We'll crack it later.
If this goes bad,
get Forge out of here
and don't wait for me. What?
(GRUNTS)
(GUNS COCKING)
Freeze, mutie.
(SIGHS) Typical.
What do we do? Run!
(GUARDS GRUNTING)
Let's get a full-body scan and see what
the famous Wolverine is really made of.
Hit it with everything you got.
(ROARING)
(SHRIEKING)
Did those claws
remind you of anyone?
Yeah, they did.
And so does that.
(ROBOTS SHRIEKING)
We gotta move, people.
What are you
doing? We have to...
What is this?
BISHOP: The badlands.
No one goes there.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Not even the Sentinels.
(ROBOTS SHRIEKING)
BISHOP: Lucky us. Let's go!
Good. See? No way
they'll follow us out here.
MASTERMOLD: Protocol
overruled. Proceed.
(GRUNTS)
Professor!
(GROANS)
(GRUNTS)
I thought you said they
wouldn't come out here.
They don't, at
least not until now.
Mastermold must really want you.
Can't we just get
out of here? Please?
Oh, no.
Quick, get them off.
(EXCLAIMS)
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Hellion!
Okay, steady yourselves.
FORGE: Shouldn't he
be out of there by now?
SHADOWCAT: Yes.
And he said not to wait.
That's right.
So, we're waiting, then?
No, I'm going in.
But... You're staying, though.
Hey!
I want you to hide in here
until I come back for you. Got it?
What about...
I mean it, Forge. Do
not leave this vehicle.
But...
(GROWLING)
I have to admit,
this I did not expect.
I thought you were unbreakable
because of some mutant ability.
Turns out your bones
are just coated in metal.
My guess, adamantium.
Amazing you survived
such a procedure.
Ah, the claws.
Let's not forget those.
No wonder Colonel Moss
can't seem to hold you.
And neither will you, bub.
What really intrigues me,
however, is your rapid healing ability.
The injuries you sustained would
have been fatal to anyone else.
(SNARLS)
Between you and I, Wolverine,
humanity will win this war,
and we'll do it
through technology.
All we need to do is teach
it how to fight like mutants.
(SNARLING)
Dr. Trask? Where do
you want this one, sir?
But I was just looking
for the bathroom.
Lock him up.
Forge!
(GASPS)
Next time, let's
just trash the place.
It'd be a whole lot easier.
I kind of remember telling
you not to wait for me.
Yeah, and now look at you.
Good point.
Come on. I have to
go rescue Forge now.
Forge? But didn't I...
Don't ask.
I do really need to
use the bathroom!
(SIGHS)
(GASPS) Kitty! I can explain!
Later.
Anything else you two
want to do while we're here?
Test their alarm
system? Get a job app?
Huh?
(GRUNTS)
(THUDS)
(GROANING)
Magneto?
Erik, is that really you?
No, my father is dead.
Lorna! What's happened to you?
Lorna.
I am Polaris now.
You're all alone
here, aren't you?
Do not talk to
me as if you care!
You were my father's enemy.
Polaris, listen to me. Your
father and I were never enemies.
You hated him.
No! He was my friend.
But I disagreed strongly
with what he was doing.
What, protecting mutants?
The humans you protected,
they destroyed everything!
It's never that simple, Polaris.
Yes, it is.
(GRUNTING)
Polaris, no!
(SCREAMS)
(XAVIER SCREAMING)
Oh, man.
Destroy!
Polaris, please. Don't do this.
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
We can't stop this thing.
We have to stop her!
Get her helmet off.
I got this.
(GRUNTS)
XAVIER: Easy, Lorna.
I am in control now.
(GRUNTING)
(SIGHING)
(SCREAMING)
Father?
I don't understand.
Why is this happening?
I'm so sorry.
It wasn't supposed to
be this way. I failed you.
I failed all of us.
But you, sweet Lorna,
you shouldn't have to pay.
I want you to get into the
sublevels. Go as deeply as you can.
What about you?
No! Father! No! No! No!
Come with me.
Lorna...
I love you.
(SCREAMING) No!
(SCREAMING)
(CRYING) No.
No.
(SOBBING)
No!
Lorna. Lorna, I'm so very sorry.
The world was...
Was supposed to
become like Genosha.
Mutants were going to be free.
That's what my father promised.
We were all going to be free.
Listen to me, Lorna.
I'm working on a
way to change it all,
to undo what has been done,
to take everything back
to the way it once was.
No. That's not possible.
My father's dream died with him.
I don't believe that.
I'm fighting for us, Lorna,
for all mutants.
And so, I need
you to release us.
Lorna, as long as you're alive,
your father's dream
survives within you.
Don't give up on us.
Now what?
SENTINEL: Destroy.
(ALL GASPING)
(GRUNTS)
We could have used her.
No.
Lorna is not a soldier.
Magneto knew that.
He wanted her to
see only the dream,
not the war.
Let us hope someday
we can free her
of the prison she's
built for herself.
WOLVERINE: So you
think because I got captured
these machines can
duplicate my abilities?
It appears that way.
I'm seeing the Sentinels becoming
more and more like mutants every day.
Logan, if they can
adapt to fight like us,
we may very well lose this war.
I ain't gonna let
that happen, Chuck.
Count on it.
