Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 19 - Guardian Angel - full transcript
Angel's wings are severely damaged at the hands of the MRD.
That's him, gentlemen.
Get the mutant inside.
Sniper, do your job.
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
(TIRES SQUEALING)
(THUDDING)
Don't move! Don't even breathe.
(TIRES SQUEALING)
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Are you all right?
Uh, yeah.
I suggest you find
a place to hide.
Leave the city if you must.
Understand?
My angel.
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLS)
(GRUNTS)
(GROWLS)
This has to stop.
I've grown really tired
of this conversation.
You've got the MRD hunting
some phantom
vigilante in the skies.
You're gonna
get yourself killed.
Then that would solve all of
your problems, wouldn't it, Father?
Warren!
(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
Just couldn't wait for me, huh?
Angel, what took you so long?
Sorry, late night.
Oh, yes, so I've been hearing.
You know, we worry
about you being so...
Shh.
May I?
(LAUGHS)
Hey, guys. You haven't
been waiting long I hope.
I took the scenic route.
Understandable.
We called because we
got us a problem, Angel.
And what kind of problem?
It's your old man.
You see, there's been
some troubling news
out of Worthington
Pharmaceuticals.
We hear they're only
months away from a cure.
From what?
Mutants.
Supposedly, it will
suppress the X-Gene
and return us to the way we
were before our powers manifested.
I don't get it.
How can a guy hate mutants
so much when his own son is...
That is the problem, Logan.
Having a mutant for a son.
Angel, wait.
We need to discuss
our options before we...
No, I'll deal with it, Hank.
Not liking the sound of that.
You leaked the news?
Just take it easy, Warren.
We are a long way from
getting that cure on the market.
We don't need this kind
of public scrutiny yet.
It's exactly what we need.
To get FDA Approval, people
have to be clamoring for it.
It's not the people
I'm worried about.
What? The mutants?
Who cares?
By the time this is over,
they'll all be disarmed.
I wasn't ready, Robert.
You went behind my back.
Don't make this so
personal, Warren.
Remember, it's all
for the common good.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Now you've gone too far.
I'm sorry. I didn't want
you to find out this way,
but listen to me.
It's not enough
you use our money
to help the MRD hunt
down innocent mutants.
Now you wanna wipe
them out completely
with this... This cure?
Wipe them out?
I'm helping them to
become normal again.
Don't you want to
be normal, Warren?
Not your definition of it.
But all the money,
the years of research...
It was all for you.
No, it wasn't.
It has always been for you.
I was your shame, your disgrace.
Don't you dare put this on me.
You don't understand, Son,
because you're sick.
This cure... I
don't need a cure,
because this is not a disease.
(GASPS)
I won't let you do it.
Do you hear me?
(SHRIEKS)
Yes, Colonel Moss, please.
(BEEPING)
We got him.
(SIGHS)
(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)
(BEEPING)
(GRUNTING)
(GAS HISSING)
(COUGHING)
(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Payback time.
How could you let this happen?
He wasn't supposed
to be injured.
You didn't tell me
he was your son.
This could have been avoided
if you had been honest with us.
Just get out of here, Moss.
Mr. Worthington? Doctor?
I can help him with the
broken ribs and the concussion,
but the wings...
What about them?
The injuries are severe. I'll need
to bring in an avian specialist.
No, save my son,
but not the wings.
Remove them.
ANGEL: No, no!
What have you done?
Where is he?
Get my father here now!
Find him! Find him!
I need... I need to...
Please, take my advice,
don't go in there right now.
Will he be okay?
Physically, yes.
But I've had to sedate him.
Mr. Worthington, I suggest
you find a good therapist
for both of you.
(ANGEL MOANING)
SINISTER: Angel.
Angel.
Poor, poor fallen angel.
I've heard your cries,
and I've come to help.
ANGEL: Who are you?
Just someone who can restore
what's been taken from you.
Tell me your name.
Nathaniel Essex.
Sinister.
So you've heard of me.
Then you know I
can do what I promise.
Nurse. Nurse!
If you want your wings
back, you need only ask.
(GRUNTS)
Warren.
How is he?
His injuries are serious.
Angel, all things considered,
you shouldn't have
left the hospital.
I... I couldn't stay there.
Not after... Just tell me...
Will they grow back?
Uh, given time, perhaps.
But it's like losing
a limb, and...
Warren, right now what's
important is that you heal.
Everything else can wait.
She's right. We'll
take care of you here.
Someone came to me.
He said he could give
me back my wings.
This magician got a name?
Essex.
Sinister. Come on, Angel.
You know better than that.
He's bad news.
He knows mutant
DNA better than anyone.
That's because he
harvests it by force
in his barbaric attempts to
create the perfect mutant.
He's an evil man.
And helping you is the
last thing on his mind.
But I can't live like this.
I understand that, but
Sinister is not the answer.
(SEAGULLS SQUAWKING)
(GASPS)
Will they... Will
they be the same?
SINISTER: They'll be glorious.
How will you... Shh.
No more questions.
When you awaken,
you'll be a new man.
(MACHINERY WHIRRING)
(GROANING)
SINISTER: My Archangel.
Well, could Cerebro locate him?
Yeah.
It seems he's headed to
Worthington Pharmaceuticals.
There's something
else, isn't there?
It looks like he's been altered.
(GASPS) I think
Sinister got a hold of him.
WOMAN ON TV: Your
family has been torn apart.
Your friends have all
turned their backs on you.
You can't even look
at yourself in the mirror
all because of one thing,
the X-Gene,
that tiny mutation that
has ruined your life.
But thanks to the dedicated scientists
of Worthington Pharmaceuticals,
the Legacy cure can
now reverse the damage.
Yes, we can make you
normal again, because we care.
KELLY: Nice.
I like that caring angle.
In the morning let's grab some
footage of me touring your labs there.
Fine.
Now what is it, Warren?
My son is missing, Robert.
But why worry? You know
he'll turn up eventually.
After all, he couldn't
have gotten very far.
Hello, Father.
Warren?
What is this?
Retribution.
What's happened to you?
You took something
from me, Father,
and I got it back.
No.
No, this isn't you.
It is now.
Eye for an eye, Father.
And what is it you
hold dear, hmm?
Your empire?
And it's only fitting
I take it from you,
starting with your cure.
(GRUNTING)
(RUMBLING)
(ALARM BLARING)
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
Come to say goodbye
to your legacy?
Please, Son, you don't
know what you're doing.
My mind has never been so clear.
And next, your Sentinel
factories are going down.
You'll get to watch that, too.
Now let's go.
No.
(METAL SCRAPING)
Emergency units and MRD
choppers are seven minutes out.
I should go in.
He'll listen to me.
After what Sinister did to him,
he won't be listening to anybody.
You're coming with
me one way or another.
(GROANS)
Angel, this ain't the way.
What do you know, Wolverine?
Because I've been where you are.
Look at me. I
wasn't born like this.
But you didn't lose anything.
I lost everything.
My past, my memories...
I'll never get them back.
I know.
And if you had the chance,
you'd go after the
people who did it to you.
That's because
I'm a monster, kid.
You're not.
Hurting your father won't help.
Now listen... I'm
through listening!
(GROWLS)
You've always used
your wings to help people,
not hurt them.
This is all Sinister.
I won't let you do something
you'll regret, Angel.
Trust me.
It'll haunt you for
the rest of your life.
Don't fight me, Wolverine.
We're on the same side.
I don't know which
side you're on,
but it ain't mine.
STORM: Nor mine.
Get out of my way now!
Warren, please.
This isn't like you.
Storm, it's over.
Everything's changed.
It can't be like it was before.
Yes, it can. We can help you.
Just stop what you're doing.
No!
Now my father has to pay.
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(GRUNTING)
Is he all right?
Does he look all right to you?
What? You think
this is my fault?
Someone else did this to him.
Don't kid yourself.
I just wanted what
was best for my son.
We don't believe that
any more than Warren did.
(GASPS)
Can you track him?
There's no scent.
Sinister made sure of that.
We'll get him back.
I promise.
KELLY: What do
you mean you're out?
The cure is wrong.
The Sentinels are
wrong. I was wrong.
Yeah? Then so was I,
by trusting that you'd
see this through to the end.
The end of what,
Robert? The world?
Because that's
where we're heading.
You helped draw the
line between us and them.
And it's growing
fainter every day.
The damage we caused,
the lives we ruined...
Maybe we're the problem.
You think you can just stop it?
Then you're a fool. Powerful
people are behind us.
It's out of your hands.
Sorry, Warren.
In this war, humanity will win.
Mutants will lose.
And when the
dust finally settles,
we'll have you to thank.
Get the mutant inside.
Sniper, do your job.
(GRUNTS)
(SCREAMS)
(TIRES SQUEALING)
(THUDDING)
Don't move! Don't even breathe.
(TIRES SQUEALING)
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)
Are you all right?

a place to hide.
Leave the city if you must.
Understand?
