X-Men: Evolution (2000–2003): Season 3, Episode 2 - The Stuff of Heroes - full transcript
While Storm and Beast step in front of the Senate to try curbing the rampant anti-mutant crowd, the rest of the X-Men have to stop Juggernaut, who has been unleashed by Mystique and is threatening to destroy a dam.
Previously on
x-MEN: Evolution...
you did this!
You destroyed it
all!
[SIRENS WAILING]
REPORTER: Fear wins the day
as a national paranoia
grips the country.
Neighbor versus neighbor,
friend against friend,
entire families afraid to even
step outside their doors
for fear
of the mutant menace.
What are you doing?
Where is professor x?
Let me pass, or you'll
never see him again.
What were they
doing in here?
Excuse me!
Have you uncovered
any new evidence
that the mutants
are a threat?
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[SPUTTERING]
come on!
Step back!
It's for your
safety, miss.
I think we have
our answer, Frank.
Back to you.
Thank you, Kim.
The authorities are
continuing their search
throughout
the bayville area,
seeking both known Mutants
and those yet
to be revealed,
but they have a difficult and
dangerous task before them.
For despite
their fearsome powers,
most mutants Look LIKE
normal citizens.
Rogue: Normal?
Look at me!
I look fat!
Do I look that fat
to you?
Shh! Pipe down,
would ya?
We're trying to keep
a low profile.
Well, I am not buying
these cupcakes.
You! Hold on!
Uh-Oh.
[GASPS]
[GROWLS]
take him down!
[GROWLS]
low profile, huh?
[ELECTRIC CRACKLING]
[WATER SPLASHING]
Logan!
Aah!
Ooh-Ow!
[COUGHING]
[MOTORCYCLE STARTS]
SOLDIER: This is unit 6.
We need air support! Now!
REPORTER: We have
just received word
of a mutant sighting
outside bayville.
As authorities
cordon off the area,
we take you now
to Washington,
where a congressional hearing is
under way on the mutant menace.
Man: And I say to you
that these mutants
are concealed weapons
of the most dangerous sort,
[CROWD MURMURING]
and as such... Eh?
[REPORTERS
SHOUTING QUESTIONS]
what is the meaning of this?
Who are you?
We are mutants,
and this witch Hunt
is going to stop now!
[TRAIN'S HORN BLARES]
[DOOR SLIDES OPEN]
[GROWLS]
see? Told ya.
Jumped on
in roseburg,
and look at
the size of him.
All right. Step on
out here, big guy.
Nice and easy.
You do not want
to do this.
Get out of there now
and identify yourself!
You wanna know
who I am?
[ROARS]
juggernaut!
Heh!
Better call
the Sheriff.
We got a mutant
on our hands.
Spyke's trying to get
his little tv working.
So?
Same thing's
on every channel. Us.
Maybe they're showing
the hearings.
I want to see how storm
and beast are doing.
If they're able to...
I'll tell ya How they're doing...
terrible.
I mean, who's gonna
listen to them, anyway?
Everyone's already made up
their minds about us.
Would you
stop already?
It's not like
we didn't expect
this kind
of reaction,
and your sulking
isn't helping.
Jean, I'm sorry.
I'm just... we should be out
looking for the professor
instead of hiding,
you know?
Scott, we'll find him.
Why hasn't he made Contact
using his telepathy?
[SIGHS]
wherever mystique
hid him,
I really believe
he's all right.
Thanks, Jean.
I don't know how I'd get
through this without you.
[STATIC]
How's the reception
from here?
Lousy. Like your timing.
Argh.
Don't move a hair.
That's as good
as it's gonna get.
Hey, everyone,
the hearings are on.
Oh, man!
I'm trapped here!
I'll take care of it.
Bobby.
Guys, be quiet.
Hey! I can't see!
Turn up the volume!
Get out of the way!
Ok, here we go.
Do you mind?
You're invading
my personal space!
Back up.
I got it covered.
We mutants have lived among you
for years without incident.
Why do you
persecute us now?
We are peaceful.
Peaceful... or just
biding your time.
From what we've discovered
in the Xavier institute,
you seem to have been
preparing for war.
Oh, man. Not good.
Logan: Throttle back.
[THUMP]
gah! Watch the paint!
Duck!
What?
Would you relax?
I know how to ride.
[PANTING]
I'm takin' it from here.
Whoop!
Hang on! We're shifting
into overdrive.
The sentinel robot
attacked us.
We had no choice but
to defend ourselves.
But how do we know you didn't
build that robot yourselves?
What? That's ridiculous!
CHAIRMAN: You built it,
[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHES]
but couldn't control it,
endangering innocent lives.
I told you to hang on.
What happened?
[SNORTS]
military choppers.
And it won't take 'em long
to find us.
[HELICOPTERS APPROACH]
ROGUE: Correction.
Didn't take 'em long.
Pilot: Heads up. We've
got multiple bogies.
That cave is crawling
with muties.
All right! We got a
fight on our hands.
No, we don't.
What?!
pilot, on p.A.:
attention, mutants!
This will be
your only warning.
Surrender peacefully,
or we will take action.
Logan: You hear that?
They're gettin' ready
to attack.
They don't know what
they're getting into.
Iceman!
Listen, kid...
No. We're the x-Men,
wolverine.
We're not kids
anymore.
You trained us, and
you know something?
We're good.
We're very good.
Let me get
this straight.
You're defying me?
Any one of us could Smack
down those choppers,
but we're supposed
to be heroes, not thugs.
If they're after us,
then they're the enemy!
No, but they think we are.
The last thing We need to do
right now is prove 'em right.
Well, what else are
you gonna do? Run?
Yeah. If the professor were here,
that's what he'd have us do.
[SNARLS]
you wanna
take charge?
Then you're
on your own.
[MOTORCYCLE STARTS]
ready a Pepper gas salvo.
Mine!
And mine!
Pilot, coughing: Gain altitude, chopper 2!
get to clear air!
PILOT: They're going
airborne.
Switch to hydras!
Target their engine systems!
Hi! I'm nightcrawler.
This is shadowcat.
And this is
your weapon system.
[ELECTRIC CRACKLING]
Bye!
Bye!
Ungh!
[ENGINE STOPS]
Yeah, we're following
the police cars right now.
Still need to confirm it's really
a mutant they're after, though.
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
Oh, I'd say it's confirmed.
Officer: Dispatch, uh, I think
we're gonna need some backup.
Dispatch: How many units?
Well, let's start
with the army,
and then we'll go
from there.
Look at the evidence,
the wake of destruction!
You are to blame!
We are people,
Mr. Chairman,
not monsters,
regardless of
what we can do
or what We may
look like...
You are atrocities!
[CROWD MURMURING]
Let's see it.
Ungh!
JUGGERNAUT: Argh!
Graah!
[WIRES SNAPPING]
not monsters, Mr. Mccoy?
Tell that to the
63,000 innocent people
living in the valley
below that dam!
It's juggernaut!
He's loose!
And without
the professor...
there's no way
to stop him.
[ALARM BLARES]
[SIRENS WAIL]
daah!
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[GROWLS]
grrrrr!
It appears that the military has run up
against a mutant even they can't handle.
It seems nothing short of a
catastrophe will satisfy this mutant.
So, are we getting
involved or not?
It'll be the sentinel
disaster all over again.
Somehow
they'll blame us.
Scott...
what would the professor
have us do?
Ungh!
Graar!
Don't worry!
I've got you!
[GASPS][GASPS]
ha ha. Mutant kids now.
Heh.
Too bad You don't have your
Papa to help this time.
Yeah?
Where are you?
Argh!
JUGGERNAUT: Argh!
Aah!
Jean! The dam!
On it!
Ungh! Ungh!
Ungh! Ungh!
Aah!
Argh!
That's enough!
Oof!
What are ya
trying to do,
embarrass me
to death?
Come on!
Give me
your best shot!
You know, that's just what
I had in mind.
You think that fancy visor's
gonna stop me?
Nothing stops me!
I'm raw power!
Yeah? You want it raw,
tough guy?
Then take it raw!
[SHRIEKS]
aah!
You can't stop
the unstoppable!
ROGUE: Party's over,
and lights out!
Huagh! Urgh!
Graar!
Uh... what did they
just do?
What they were
trained to do...
Use their powers
for good.
Jean:
They can't find him.
Should we go
hunt him down?
No.
My guess,
he's long gone.
We're done here.
[MOANS] Hey, are you all right?
I'm ok...
but I got a big piece
of his mind, and...
and I know where
the professor is!
JEAN: Professor!
Is he all right?
Yes. He'll be fine.
We had no idea.
Just get him out of there.
I don't understand how anyone
could get juggernaut out,
let alone get
professor Xavier in.
Rogue: That's mystique.
Jean: We've learned never
to underestimate her.
Good job.
Easy, professor.
Everything
is gonna be ok.
My fellow americans.
All my fellow Americans,
human and mutant.
I stand before you now
to clear the x-Men
of all wrongdoing
in the giant sentinel
robot disaster.
The real criminal suspect
behind the sentinel weapon
has been arrested
and charged.
This has caught us
all by surprise,
but that isn't reason
for any of us
to judge people solely
by their differences.
To put it
as simply as I can,
we need to learn more,
we need to be
open-Minded,
and we need to give
this mutant question more time.
And there you have it.
The president's position
that the mutant population
Should be free
from persecution.
But will it work?
That remains to be seen.
This is Frank Lee speaking.
Good night.
x-MEN: Evolution...
you did this!
