Wolverine and the X-Men (2008–2009): Season 1, Episode 8 - Time Bomb - full transcript
Professor Xavier warns the X-Men about an impeding event.
Previously on
Wolverine and the X-Men:
I want you to come back.
I'm not going to let
you abandon me again.
Your problem is you can't
stay in one place, Logan.
And no one can follow a
leader who's never there.
Let me out of here, po-pos.
You don't know who
you're dealing with.
This is gettin' real old, Toad.
Mutants are a danger to us all,
despite the protection
of these fine officers
from the MRD.
We're not the ones who
picked this fight, Rogue.
We're just standing
up for ourselves.
You're asking me
to join with you?
Why are you here?
I've decided to join the X-Men.
The simple fact is you
cannot operate Cerebro
without a telepath.
Don't be alarmed, Logan.
This is what you might
call a meeting of the minds
on the astral plane.
It's through here I'm able
to communicate to you
from the future.
You guys are in for it, man.
I'm with the Brotherhood.
It's gonna be ugly.
Security. Hold on.
Code 3. Possible
hostile at alpha gate.
Open it.
No, stop, please.
Please, you have to help me.
Everyone is in danger. I'm
begging you, put me away!
Hey, bro, what you in for, huh?
No! No! I can't be
around other people.
Everyone will die. Listen to me!
Relax, man.
Soon we'll all be free.
The Brotherhood is coming.
Shut up, Toad.
No!
Now it's too late.
Jailbreak. Go, man.
Whoa.
Logan.
Charles.
Nice to see you again, Logan.
You've had me a little worried,
Chuck. Where you been?
The future is a hostile
place, my friend.
Piecing together the
past has been a challenge,
to say the least.
I take it you found something.
I have.
And what I'm about
to ask you to do
will go against everything
I've ever taught you.
But it is essential
that you succeed.
Pietro. Oh, I was
getting nervous.
Ha-ha. Okay, I thought
for a second you weren't...
I didn't come to bust you
out, Toad. I'm leaving you here.
You're... You're
dumping me? Why?
One, you're disgusting.
Two, you make a
mess out of everything.
And three, you
always get caught.
Uh, okay, hang on.
You broke in, uh, okay,
to tell me, uh, you're
not breaking me out?
Yep.
Blob wanted to
see your reaction.
So long, Toad.
Whoa. Wait, wait,
wait. Okay, wait, wait.
I got something.
You will love this.
Forget it. Okay, that
job you're planning,
the one you don't
trust me to be around?
I know how to pull it off.
So how'd the snapshot come out?
It doesn't matter. Toad's
staying on the team.
You're joking. I'm serious.
The little slime-sack might
finally be earning his keep.
All we need to do is
knock down some doors.
I'm going home. I'm going home!
This guy better
be worth it, Toad.
Okay. You know, I'm...
I'm sensing a real
lack of trust here.
And we have a winner.
Passcode accepted.
Careful. Don't drop him.
Why isn't this working?
What did I say
about distracting me?
Jean is a Level-5 mutant.
Why can't Cerebro find her?
Perhaps there's nothing to find.
Either way, we're finished.
Uh, wait, please.
I'm sorry, okay?
Don't stop.
Oh, it's not you. It's him.
I need you to find
the Brotherhood.
What's the emergency?
The Brotherhood
broke into the MRD
and kidnapped an
innocent mutant.
So this is a rescue operation?
Yep. Then we're gonna
give him back to the MRD.
Really? Yeah? That's
our job now, huh?
Handing mutants over
to the government?
Hey, I'm sorry, but I
didn't sign up for that.
I said the same
thing to Charles,
and he told me that if we don't,
half the world's mutants
are gonna get wiped out.
It doesn't look like much.
That's because
it's all underground.
What's the MRD got in there?
Data on every mutant
that's ever been registered.
If we get inside, we send
the MRD back to square one.
If we get inside?
Dom, you wound me.
Pietro, what are
we doing out here?
I thought this job was a bust.
Two words: new manpower.
Or is that three? Anyway...
He's really sparking.
Okay, w-we gotta hurry.
Gee, Toad's back.
That's a surprise.
Please, let me go.
It isn't safe.
Meet Nitro.
I think you'll like him.
Wait, did you kidnap this guy?
Liberated. We liberated him.
Remember, Rogue,
we're the good guys.
Boys, based on last
time, we got four minutes
from the first alarm until the
mardies start dropping in on us.
I'll pave the way, you
just deliver the package.
You're not listening.
My power, I
can't, uh, control it.
You keep it together.
You hear me?
Take it easy on him, okay?
It's all right, we're
not going to hurt you.
It's not about me. It's
you. It's anyone I'm around.
I understand, but...
No, you don't know anything.
I've hurt everyone, everyone
I've ever cared about.
There's no more time. You
have to get away from me.
Go, run!
We can't do this.
We have to help him.
Sorry, down the
rabbit hole he goes.
No!
Better run, Blob.
Mission accomplished.
Now, once he recharges...
Are you out of your mind?
You can't use people like this.
Back off, Rogue.
You're way out of line.
He went to the MRD for help.
He didn't want to be liberated.
Oh, really? I didn't know
that. He never said a word.
We're going to help
him. Do you hear me?
Everyone just calm down.
You know what? Rogue's right.
Nitro does need help,
but not from humans.
No, thank you.
No, no, wait wait. I'm here!
I ran inside to get change.
I was only in
there for a minute.
Are you that heartless? Come on.
Please.
Naughty, naughty, Psylocke.
Keep pulling stunts like that
and you'll end up
back in MRD custody.
And then I'd have to rescue you.
Again.
So let me guess,
you're here because
it's time I repay my debt.
You really are a telepath.
What happened? Are we too late?
Frost, tell me their
trail doesn't end here.
No, I have them.
An airport 20 miles
from your position.
And they now have
a telepath with them.
They're jackin' a plane.
Have Forge pick us
up in the Blackbird.
Sorry. Forge isn't here.
All right, just get
here with the jet, fast.
My pleasure.
How do you know this will work?
Have a little faith, Rogue.
You can do this, right?
Yes, I mean, I think so.
I've never tried
suppressing powers before
and I just...
You had me at "yes."
Can't this crate go any faster?
You're in a big hurry.
Yeah, always. It's
kinda what I do.
Yeah, but to Genosha?
I seem to remember
Magneto doesn't even
want you near his island.
That was before. I mean,
how can he not be impressed
after I blew up
the MRD archives?
Plus, wait till he sees Nitro.
Okay, we are finished.
What happened? I-I feel sick.
You're going to be fine.
We were able to shut
down your powers.
So I think things will
finally be different for you.
No, they won't.
Has anyone ever tried
shutting down your powers?
A long time ago.
I'm guessing it didn't work.
Look, I don't have
all the answers,
but if there's
any chance at all,
isn't it worth a shot?
Nitro,
we're just trying to help you.
Maybe you are,
Rogue, but the others,
they don't care about
what happens to me.
Why are you even with them?
It's complicated.
Huh?
Hey!
What's happening? I don't know.
The engines are freezing.
We're losing altitude.
You gotta be kidding me. X-Men?
Hi, Rogue.
Who are you?
It's all right.
We're here to help.
They just snatched Nitro!
Take the wheel.
Ahem. Prepare for impact.
Iceman, we need
a landing strip now.
Already on it.
Impressive, Bobby. I
didn't know you had it in you.
I'm not usually around
this much water.
No, wait. Where are you going?
I... have to get away.
He's in bad shape.
I'll get him back onboard.
We'll take care of
the Brotherhood.
No, please.
Leave me here.
He's right. He's too unstable.
Their amateur telepath
tried shutting off his power.
I don't think it worked.
The pressure is building.
We don't have much time.
You have to leave. Hurry!
So pathetic.
We have to do something for him.
We're trying.
Watch out!
Why couldn't you just
stay out of this, Wolverine?
Because you're stupid.
Would you people stop saving me?
That's cold.
Get out here and help us, Toad.
Okay, trust me.
Heh. Our chances of
winning are much higher
if I'm not involved.
Help!
Somebody!
Storm!
Rogue, get back!
I can take her out.
No.
Nitro.
Nitro!
Is everyone...?
They're fine. Everyone's fine.
Okay, now that was close.
Yeah, you don't know how close.
You would have been
at Genosha by now
and wiped out more
than half the island.
We are taking it from here.
Got a problem with that?
No.
Excuse us, Rogue.
Logan, I...
We did what we had to, Logan.
Yeah, but it doesn't
make it any easier.
Wolverine and the X-Men:
I want you to come back.

you abandon me again.
