X-Men: Evolution (2000–2003): Season 3, Episode 12 - Dark Horizon: Part 2 - full transcript

[narrator] Previously on X-Men: Evolution:

-Why use someone else to break in?
-[Xavier] Because that's what he does.

He manipulates others just as he did with Jean
in order to steal those rings.

Mesmero was just another puppet like Jean.

There was someone else pulling the strings.

A mind more powerful
than anything I've ever encountered.

The relic will help unleash the most
powerful mutant the world has ever seen.

You will know him as Apocalypse.

I don't care what it takes.
Destroy that spider!

[Xavier] Don't do it, Magnus!

-Do not destroy it!
-[Magneto] I must!



-The key has been destroyed.
-That wasn't just a key.

It was a guardian
designed to prevent Apocalypse's release.

And with its destruction,
a second door will now open.

[Scott] It's like every person she's ever absorbed
is fighting to take over.

I think she's gotten control
over all those powers at once.

[screaming]

[gasping]

Having all those personalities driven out
has left her very fragile.

What do your visions tell you now, Destiny?

An ancient mutant will rise
to once again walk the earth.

Your fates, both yours and Rogue's,

are in his hands.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Xavier groans]



[Scott groans]

Scott?

[gasps]

Scott, are you all right?

[gasps, then groans]

[theme music playing]

-[alarm beeping]
-[groaning]

[alarm stops]

[groans, then coughs]

Oh, my head.

What a nightmare.

Oh, no!

[alarm beeping]

Kurt, wake up! Everyone overslept!

[Kurt] Five more minutes.

Come on.
We're missing our last day of school!

No way!

What a bizarre dream.

I think I need some therapy.

[indistinct chatter]

[groaning]

Ugh. I think I'm gonna pass on breakfast.

[school bell ringing]

[ominous music playing]

[sighs] It's kind of sad, isn't it?
I mean, after today, we're done here forever.

-Good riddance.
-Oh, come on.

You can't tell me you don't have
at least some good memories.

Let's just say I won't be buying the yearbook.

Are you ever gonna lighten up?

Yup. One minute after graduation tomorrow.
I can't wait.

-Rest assured the feeling is mutual.
-Principal Kelly?

Understand this, you two.
I want this year to end on a good note.

Some of the students here have earned it.

So tomorrow's ceremony will be free
of any mutant mischief. Got it?

Just have our diplomas ready
and we'll be out of your hair.

-[Toad laughing]
-[Fred] Knock it off, Toad!

[ominous music playing]

[doorbell rings]

[Toad] Yo, who's at the door?

[groaning]

[burps]

I hope Wanda ain't messing
with a door-to-door salesman again.

Huh?

[groans]

Huh?

Ow!

[shouts]

[screams]

I hate this part.

What is going on down there?

Huh?

Hey! What's going on?

Huh?

[grunting]

[groans]

[thunder rumbling]

Nothing I can't handle. Don't worry.
I won't let it rain on your parade tomorrow.

Thanks, Storm. I want it to be perfect
for when my family gets here.

Well, now, have you given
any thought to your futures?

Jean, I know you've been
accepted to several universities.

Uh, well, I've been thinking a lot
about studying medicine.

Maybe even genetics.
I know where I can find a great tutor.

Well, you'll find my rates quite reasonable.

And I'm very easy to reach.

[ominous music playing]

The window.

[grunting]

[grunting]

[Sabretooth roars]

[Pyro laughing]

Awful bold of you coming here, girl.

Or are you just stupid?

[yells]

Huh?

[grunts, then groans]

Bravo, chérie.
Looks to me like Rogue's up to no good.

But, hey, I like that in a girl.

Only thing is you're not alone in this, are you?

Who's behind it? Mystique?

[grunts]

I think so. Question is why?

See if you can guess.

[groaning]

Rogue, where are you?

What?

[groaning]

[indistinct chatter]

-Nice day anyway.
-No, this is a great day, Scott.

-Our whole future is ahead of us.
-Yeah.

-Whatever it brings.
-So nothing else matters.

Not all the harassment,
the lost friends, the fights, nothing.

We've earned this
as much as anyone else.

-Probably more.
-I know.

Hey, who is that?

-[man] Jean!
-Oh, there they are!

Go. I'll see you at the ceremony.

[tranquil music playing]

Looks like the forecast is improving.

Yes. I think even Principal Kelly would have
to appreciate your mutant abilities today, Storm.

Welcome.

I think back to the first time
I spoke in front of you.

Change was the theme then.

And it has never been more important
than it is today.

So as you go out
into this rapidly changing world,

it is essential that you take control
of your futures.

You may look across from you
and see students

who have certain advantages over you.
Don't be deterred.

Any disadvantage can be overcome.
You can prevail.

We can-- Oh, no.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[ominous music playing]

And there goes graduation.

[crowd screaming]

[ominous music playing]

Everyone, please remain calm
and exit the field as quickly as possible.

Not so fast, Rogue.

Magneto, explain yourself.

The girl is under Mesmero's control, Charles.

She attacked us to absorb our powers,

then wiped our minds with his power
to cover it up.

-What proof do you have?
-My surveillance cameras.

They captured it all.

Mutants have terrorized this world long enough!
Someone has got to stop them!

-Logan, track Rogue.
-Got it.

-You two, go with him.
-[Logan] No!

I don't need their help!

Logan, you two must put it aside.
There's too much at stake.

[both growling]

[engines roaring]

Well, this is gonna be interesting.

Our goal is twofold.

First, we must prevent
Rogue from securing the final key.

-And in the likely event we fail...
-We find the door first and defend it.

But for that, we need to assemble
only our most experienced team members.

[Xavier] To prevent Mesmero from taking
anyone else under his control,

I'm afraid I must place mental blocks
within each of them. It is the only way.

-Agreed.
-I've had limited success determining

Apocalypse's place of origin
beyond ancient Egypt.

Search under his real name,
En Sabah Nur.

[sniffing]

-Rogue.
-Mesmero.

Neither of them were in the driver's seat,
but I'm not getting a scent.

That's because you don't know
what you're talking about!

I am not putting up with this anymore!

Here's a bulletin.
Now this ain't about you pit bulls.

Let's go find Rogue.

-She must've taken a boat.
-Or a plane.

[Hank] En Sabah Nur ruled
about 5000 years ago in Giza.

Which would logically
be the place he's entombed.

But the specific location of that tomb is unknown.

I fear the only place that information lies
is within the mind of Mesmero.

I've been in that mind.

[groaning]

Perhaps I've had the answer all along.

With Cerebro amplifying my powers,

I just may be able to interpret
the jumbled knowledge I took from him.

[ominous mystical music playing]

I-- I found it.

[tense music playing]

-[Sabretooth] Yeah, they were here.
-Gee, what was your first clue?

Think maybe they stole a jet too?

[groans]

Hey! This them?

[Logan] Hmm. Looks like it.

They're passing over California
heading for the Pacific.

Hope you boys brought
your frequent flyer cards.

[dramatic music playing]

[ominous mystical music playing]

I believe the door is housed
in an underground chamber. Kitty?

-We'll be in radio contact.
-I'll let you know what I find.

[suspenseful music playing]

[gasps]

[yells, then grunts]

I landed on a stairway
in some sort of chamber.

It looks huge.

[Hank] Kitty, do you see any kind of lever
at the top of those stairs?

Uh, hold on. I'll look.

-I think I found it. Like a stone knob.
-Push it in then get out of the way.

[grunts]

[rumbling]

[dramatic music playing]

[ominous mystical music playing]

Pyro, light the way.
And then let's find that door.

No problem.

I don't mind saying
I am totally creeped out.

You? I had to come in here alone!

[suspenseful music playing]

[screeching]

We're trapped!
