Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 22 - Aces & Eights - full transcript
Gambit arrives on Genosha under the orders of Senator Kelly.
KELLY: Did you see this?
Genosha has closed its borders.
Yes. What do you
think he's up to?
He's closing ranks, that's what.
Which means he's
about to make his move.
How long before we
can launch the Sentinels?
A full contingent?
About two weeks.
This could be over in two days.
Our offsite locations are delivering
them as quickly as possible.
Unbelievable!
I'm telling you, I will not
get caught unprepared.
We need to slow Magneto down.
We need to get
someone inside Genosha.
What do you got for me, Charles?
Because the clock's running, both
sides are lining up and I'm out of plays.
Fortunately, Logan, I
have discovered something.
It was in Mastermold's
old data core,
and very well could be
the flashpoint of the war.
What happens?
Magneto's helmet gets stolen.
What?
I know. It doesn't make sense.
But from what I can gather,
it's taken by a mutant spy
working for Senator Kelly.
How could that
possibly start a war?
I'm afraid you'll need to find the
answers yourself on Genosha.
(SIGHS) Man...
What mutant would
be stupid enough
to go after Magneto's
helmet anyway?
(WHISTLING)
(WHIMPERS)
(GROWLS)
(GRUNTS)
(GROWLS)
Hmm.
(GROWLING)
Allow me to introduce
myself, mademoiselle. I'm...
What are you
doing on this island?
Aside from being blinded
by your dazzling beauty,
I seek an audience
with the king of Genosha.
That's out of the question.
And you're trespassing.
(GROANING)
(SIGHS) I tried
to be a gentleman.
(GROWLS)
(SCREAMS)
(SNARLS)
Uh-uh-uh.
I'd fold this hand
if I were you.
Young man, I have little patience
for the flaunting of powers.
My apologies, monsieur,
but they did start it.
Very well, but the
next word you utter
had better be a very good
explanation for why you're here.
All cards on the
table. I like that.
You're familiar with
Senator Kelly, yes?
Yes, well, he has paid me
quite well to steal your helmet.
What would he
gain by doing that?
Proof to the world that
Magneto is not untouchable.
Robbing a king of his
crown would be humiliating.
Is that what you intend to do?
If I had wanted your helmet,
you would have simply
woken up without it.
Then tell us what
you're doing here.
I am simply requesting
sanctuary in your remarkable city.
I will consider your request.
Father...
Until then, you will be
confined to the guest quarters.
A generous offer.
It would be both a
pleasure and an honor.
Wanda...
(CHUCKLES)
That way. Mmm.
(GASPS)
I'm ready.
Where are the others?
We're it.
Only two X-Men to
face all of Genosha?
Last time I brought a team onto
that island I got spanked, thoroughly.
Metal bones, master
of magnetism...
He saw me coming a mile away.
So this time, I'm
just sending you in.
Alone.
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
(SNIFFS)
(GIGGLES)
I did some checking.
His name is Remy LeBeau,
but he goes by Gambit.
Father, he's a known thief.
Well, my dear, he did
already confess that to us.
But why let him into Genosha?
We stopped taking refugees.
He could be useful.
He could be a problem
and you welcomed
him into our home.
I confined him
to the guest suite.
But you didn't lock him in.
Better for us to
keep an eye on him.
Now, Wanda,
if he gets out of hand,
he'll be dealt with.
(SIGHS) We need
to hide our valuables.
(GASPS)
Good afternoon, cherie.
Um. You're not
supposed to be in here.
(STAMMERING) You're not
supposed to leave your room.
Well, as a guest in your house,
I felt it was impolite of
me not to introduce myself.
Remy LeBeau.
(STAMMERING) I'm...
My name is Lorna.
Now I really think you
should get back to...
Shh. Listen to me, ma chere.
Life demands bold steps.
Take one, and meet me
in the garden at twilight.
But I... Shh.
Until then.
(BLOWS KISS)
(SIGHS)
Okay, eyes open.
Stick to the shadows.
And if you have to, enlist the
help of that girl of yours, Wendy.
Wanda. She's not my girl.
Just report back what you find.
Wanda... (GASPS)
I need to speak with you.
Kurt, what are you doing here?
I have important information.
Senator Kelly has sent someone
to steal your father's helmet.
We know. As soon
as Gambit arrived,
he told us everything.
Gambit?
That's who it is.
Wanda, no. No,
he's got you fooled.
We are not fools, Kurt.
And just how do you
know anything about this?
Do the X-Men have a spy here?
We do not. It's complicated,
but I'm telling you the truth.
Listen, Kurt, as much
as I like seeing you again,
you must leave.
But, Wanda...
If my father knew
you were here...
Kurt, just go.
Please.
Hmm, I thought I locked it.
I know you're up to something.
If your father believed
that, I would not be here.
Whatever it is,
you'll be caught,
and then it's me you
need to worry about,
not my father.
WOLVERINE: Gambit,
huh? That ain't good.
NIGHTCRAWLER: The
first thing he did was confess.
Now he's a guest
in their palace.
He's working an
angle, that's for sure.
Stick around. Find
out what he's up to.
Will do.
Remy?
(GASPS)
You just can't stay out of
my arms, can you, ma petite?
What? You're the one who...
We should go now. You ready?
Ready?
To show me the most romantic
view of the island, of course.
GAMBIT: Truly enchanting.
What are these structures?
LORNA: The water
distribution channels.
They supply fresh
water to the whole island.
But to you, this place
is much more, huh?
I love the falls.
They're so powerful.
Also so calm and peaceful.
Do you come here often?
Every chance I get.
My father doesn't like me
leaving the palace, though.
A cage is a cage, even
if it do look like a palace.
You should be free to enjoy every
corner of this glorious sanctuary.
So, if this facility
supply the water,
where's your
electricity come from?
There. Electromagnetic
generators.
Ah! Of course.
And that tall building there,
that must afford a
spectacular view.
Not really. It's just the
communications tower.
It's not like it is here.
Lorna, perhaps we should
get back before we're...
missed.
Lorna, I...
Mademoiselle, surely
you could show leniency
for a mere youthful
indiscretion?
Hello? Mademoiselle?
(SCREAMS)
MAN: Save your effort, man.
No prisoner has ever
escaped the cells.
So how long are people
usually kept down here?
That kind of depends
on the offense.
Well, I was on the receiving end
of a little kiss from
Magneto's daughter.
Wanda?
Lorna.
I suggest you get comfortable.
Lorna.
(SNIFFLING)
Where did you put him?
Please, Lorna, just let it go.
He's in the cells, isn't he?
The cell...
How do you know about that?
I know a lot more
than you think I do.
Listen, stay away from
there. Do you hear me?
That guy cannot be trusted.
(SCOFFS)
Says the girl who's
in love with an X-Man.
(SLAMS DOOR)
Hmm?
If I let you out, will
you take me with you?
What? You want to leave Genosha?
It's the only way
we can be together.
Open the doors and I'm yours.
I know where your boat is.
Okay, well, go collect your
things and meet me there.
(BEEPING)
(BEEPING)
So this was never about
stealing Magneto's helmet.
It's about crippling Genosha.
Bravo. Nightcrawler, isn't it?
Disarm the explosives, Gambit.
There's too much at stake.
Agreed, but I like high stakes.
(SCREAMS)
Lorna?
There you are.
Come on, we have to hurry.
Lorna! Lorna!
(BEEPING)
Perhaps you wanna
give this more thought.
No, I'm just a little nervous.
I've always lived
on this island.
I don't even know what
the world is like out there.
I'm afraid, cherie,
it's a lot like me.
But wait. What are you doing?
I'm sorry, but I cannot
take you with me.
Why? What did I do?
Nothing, ma chere.
(MOTOR RUNNING)
I'm just not the
man you think I am.
You're wrong.
I wish I were.
I... I don't understand.
You will.
(SNIFFLING)
Of course. She got
her daddy's power.
And her sister's temper.
I'm sorry, Father. I'm so sorry.
(EXPLOSION)
(BOTH GASP)
(GROWLS)
Are you okay?
I... I think so.
Wanda?
I'm fine, Father.
Lorna, join your
sister in the palace.
Are you going after Remy?
No.
It's the senator
who will pay for this.
Magneto is going after Kelly.
Hank. Hank, come in.
You insect.
(GRUNTING)
You dare attack my
home? My family?
No, wait, wait.
(GASPS)
Oh, thank goodness.
Where am I?
A place I swore
you'd never step foot.
Why have you brought me here?
Because there's something
you both need to see.
But I'm gonna let
Charles show you.
What are they doing to us?
Don't worry. You're quite safe.
Erik, it's good to
see you, old friend.
Charles! How can this be?
Are you... Are you
conscious inside your body?
XAVIER: I'm afraid not.
The coma I'm in will
last for another 20 years.
That's where I am
right now, in the future.
What kind of ruse is this?
It's no ruse.
This is why the X-Men
have been so efficient.
They've had inside information.
Information I wish to now
share with the two of you.
The war you seek,
the outcome you envision...
Behold your legacy.
Humans and mutants have lost.
The machines have won.
My dearest citizens,
as you know,
I have been trumpeting a call to arms
against the mutants for many years.
As a result, we are
on the brink of war.
Yet one has to wonder who will
walk the earth once the smoke clears.
Assuming there is an
earth left to walk on.
Believe me when I say
this is a war no one will win.
We must give serious
thought to our next move.
As such, I have now
halted the Sentinel program.
Blink, bring me my son.
Genosha has closed its borders.
Yes. What do you
think he's up to?
He's closing ranks, that's what.
Which means he's
about to make his move.
How long before we
