X-Men: Evolution (2000–2003): Season 1, Episode 11 - Grim Reminder - full transcript

Wolverine's tortured origin comes back to haunt him.

Hey, do you mind?

The sign says, "occupied. "
The door was locked.

Who can read at this hour? Sorry!

Dear Mom and Dad. Today started out
just like all the other school days...

... with everyone feeling
a little crowded, me included.

Especially with a roommate like Rogue.

Though it's not real easy to get close
to her, or healthy either.

- Did you guys hear all the noise...?
- I need to shower!

Well, I'm covered in fur.
What do you expect?

Finding a place to be alone around here
is really a matter of timing.

Sometimes you have to settle,
like when Mr. Logan's around.



But that's okay because he
doesn't wanna talk to anybody.

What's the matter, half-pint?
Am I reading too loudly for you?

No, just enjoying how quiet it is.

- All right, breakfast!
- I'm starving.

- Eggs! Part of a balanced meal. I like that.
- Let's see what's on the TV.

What happened to all the milk?

- witnesses have described as a Bigfoot-like
creature in the Canadian wilderness.

Sometimes Mr. Logan can be
so incredibly rude, you know?

As a result, authorities have closed Mount
McKenna National Park until further notice.

Mount McKenna?

Hey, Logan, you okay?

I mean, Professor Xavier is always saying
that we're kind of like a family here...

- ... and we all have to get along.
- Incoming!

But Mr. Logan doesn't act like it.



He's always going off doing
this lone-wolf thing.

I mean, it's not like his life
is so much tougher than ours.

Mr. Logan?

Hi. Sorry, I...
Are you okay?

Yeah, fine, fine. Just redecorating.

Evan, what are you doing?

- Didn't have space for this in my room.
- We all share this area, you know?

What if some of us don't like
The Festering Boils?

You could deal with it. See you.

Evan is the youngest, and he is
so immature, you know?

It's like he has no idea how
his actions affect the rest of us.

Then again, like, maybe he does.

Some of the kids around here
are pretty nice, like Scott.

Sometimes he tries to be so responsible
for Professor Xavier and the other students.

Then other times, he acts
just like a regular high-school kid.

Today he's definitely a kid.

Thank goodness for Professor Xavier.

He keeps a lid on things around here,
not an easy job sometimes...

... especially with Mr. Logan. I bet he really
gets after him for trashing his room.

Something in that news story,
I don't know what, set me off.

Let's talk about it. Sit down.

Charles, there's something
in my head, buried there.

How about you get inside
and see if you can't pry it loose?

All right. But first, you need to relax.

Yeah, easy for you to say.

Tell me that was a dream or something.

No, a memory long forgotten,
or rather, suppressed.

I believe that was a glimpse of how you
came to acquire your unusual implements.

- Do you wish to continue?
- Go for it.

You all right?

Whatever happened to me,
that's where it started...

...with that ghoul in the black coat.

He's the guy who did this. I gotta go.

You're going to that mountain
in Canada, aren't you?

The one you saw on TV
and in your nightmares.

Happen to pick that up
while inside my head?

- Do you want company?
- Do I ever?

Well, I guess I better sign off
before Kurt pops in here and finds me.

He's always doing that,
totally freaks me.

Besides, I'm about late for school.

There you are. Why you in here?

Out of, like, necessity.

Whatever. Come on, Scott's
giving us a ride to school.

All I wanted was just one minute alone
in this whole stupid mansion!

Touchy! Sounds like someone's got
an astrophysics test today.

It's Logan.

I wouldn't. He's been acting,
like, mega-weird all morning.

Don't be so dramatic.

Hey, man, what's happening?

Is this seat taken?
Sorry, my mistake.

Still think I'm being dramatic?

Actually, no, I don't.

Engage autopilot.

Why are you following me?

We're not following you. I was just...

Now you made him angry.

I gotta take you back before...

You gotta get away.
Something in my head.

I can't control it. Can't be trusted.

- He locked us out!
- No. He shut himself in so we'd be safe.

There's a crazy person flying the plane!
You call that safe?

We gotta get out of here.

Can you transport us to the ground?

Yeah, right. Like, picture this:

Too high up and way too fast.

Then I guess we're stuck on this flight.

Question is, where are we flying to?

- Did you get into the cockpit?
- Yeah.

But something's jamming the transmitter
out here. I couldn't reach the institute.

Looks like we're on our own, then.

Excellent. You see,
that chip in his brain...

...is still active after all these years.

Oh, I did such good work in those days.

And yet, through sheer force of will...

...he's managed to subdue it. Until now.

Well, why now?

Oh, I suppose he just got
too comfortable with Xavier...

...let his guard down.
Certain news footage did the rest.

Isn't that right, Bigfoot?

Don't call me that!

Tell you what, Sabretooth. Why don't you
go greet our old colleague.

- Wolverine!
- Sabretooth!

I thought something stunk
about this forest.

All right, fuzz-bub, playtime's over.
Now I want some answers!

You'll get your answers, Wolverine...

...but you'll wish you hadn't.

Welcome home.

You've aged remarkably well,
Logan, if at all.

Your recuperative powers
have served you well.

Now it's time they serve me.

Especially since your enhancements
represent quite the financial investment.

Who...? Who ordered it?

What? That Adamantium skeleton of yours?

I can hardly believe you haven't
figured that out by now.

Bigfoot.

- Are we ready for training?
- We are.

Yes, and I see our test subjects
are in position as well.

No!

It's time we resume Project Weapon X:

Your development as the
ultimate mutant slayers.

Man, it's like he just
dropped out of sight somewhere.

Well, he's back.

Mr. Logan, over here!

He's brought a friend!

Sabretooth!
But they're, like, mortal enemies.

Yeah, ours!

Faster, they're gaining on us!

Kitty!

Mr. Logan, it's me.
What's the matter with you?

Kitty!

I know you're not yourself,
but at least you recognize me.

We've always been friends.

Okay, maybe not friends,
but close enough.

Kitty?! Kitty?!

Oh, right. I forgot that cats could climb.

Later, dude.

Kitty.

No. No!

We are popping out of here.

No, wait! I'm reaching him!

No!

It's me, Kitty. Remember?

Half-pint?

Please try. We had breakfast together
just this morning. Kind of.

Look, whatever they did to you,
you're fighting it. You can win.

Don't give up! Do you really
want to hurt me, Mr. Logan?

Wrong move!

He's taking control!

- That seems to be Sabretooth's plan too.
- Not if we stop him!

Sabretooth, where is Wolverine?

- He's entered the lab.
- No! Get down here and protect me!

Don't make me do this, Logan.
You're too valuable!

Get out of my way!

Touch me and you'll find yourself
transported two miles into the woods.

Then that's where you'll drop!

I warned you!

Okay, I see the problem.

It's about to get totally hot around here.

You caged the wrong animal, bub.

- Stop! This place is gonna blow!
- Let it!

- Kitty, leave!
- Not without you.

No argument this time!

Project Weapon X...

...has been terminated.

- Mr. Logan.
- Oh, man.

Relax, my friend.
You're back at the institute. You're safe.

What about the kids? Are they...?

Both fine. Kitty's been in here every hour
checking on you after the surgery.

- We removed the chip. Is there pain?
- Yeah...

...but not from the wound.

Someday, though, I'm gonna find out
who had this done to me.

That's a promise.

- Come on. What's going on?
- I'm starving.

Just relax! Give her a minute!
Nobody's gonna starve to death.

So like I said this morning...

... it's just been another normal day
here at the Xavier Institute.

Funny, I've been complaining about
not having enough time alone, right?

But I think I, like,
miss bumping into everyone.

It's just part of the deal...

... when you're a part of a family.
