X-Men: Evolution (2000–2003): Season 3, Episode 9 - Under Lock and Key - full transcript

The Acolytes and the X-Men face a spider-like being which is virtually unstoppable.

Previously on X-Men: Evolution:

I await your instruction
on the location of the other two keys.

Understood.

See something you like?

Whoever you are, you've got courage.

Not everyone would hypnotize
one of mine to do their stealing.

Don't bother.
Your psychic blasts do not affect me.

Release your mental hold on Gambit. Now!

All right.

Where am I?

And as for this relic,
let's find out if it was really worth it.



Magneto.

You think you can take me?
Go for it.

Oh, believe me. I'm going for it.

Hey, ump, she's using her powers.

Come on now, people.
Let's play ball!

Come on, Jean. Bobby's got no bat.
He's a no batter. No batter, no batter!

Oh, I got a bat.

And here we go.

Time for a seventh inning stretch.

Mutant ball!

Whoa!

Safe.

Hey, what's he doing here?

Angel? What's going on?



I must see Professor Xavier immediately.

Mastermind, what have you learned?

The Spider Stone has a second half.

It resides in London's Tisdale Museum.

-Together they form a key.
-To what?

I have yet to learn.

His mental powers are formidable.

I need more time.

Time's up.

Tell me.

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

En Sabah Nur.

You will know him as Apocalypse.

Are you sure this is the man you saw?

It's not a face you forget, Professor.

Hey, girls. Checking out the new guy?

You were right to come here, Warren.
We've had dealings with Mesmero before.

-But why use someone else to break in?
-Because that's what he does.

He manipulates others.

Just as he did with Jean
in order to steal those rings.

We've now been able to determine
that the rings work together as some kind of a
key.

The other half of Warren's stolen Spider Stone
is in a London museum.

When put together,
they complete the Spider.

And that Spider Stone
might well do the same.

-A key to what?
-I don't know.

But with Magneto now involved,

I feel it imperative that we secure the other half
before he does.

Absolutely! Let's gear up
and take care of business, X-Men style.

Sorry, hotshot. There's no room on the team
for members who don't follow rules.

Yeah. Like icing a bat
during a no-powers softball game.

But I was just goofing off.

I'd totally keep it in check
for a full-on mission. Really.

Oh, come on. Just give me one chance.

-How could this happen?
-I do not know.

One minute he was there
and the next he was gone,

along with the artifact.

Magneto, if he joins the two stones
and creates the second key---

That is not going to happen!

We're going to London.

-Up for dinner?
-Kurt!

Spicy enchiladas and black beans
covered in Kitty's special sauce.

Ugh. It's not enough my head hurts.
You want me to toss my stomach too?

Where's Logan?

He and Storm are out
trying to track down our loving mother.

The others jetted off to London.

So Kitty and I are your caregivers.
Have a bite.

Go away.

Is that any way to treat your little brother?

-We're not related!
-Oh, now that's just denial talking.

Mystique may have given birth to you.
But she only adopted me.

Either way, sis, we're in this together.
I mean it, Rogue.

Whatever you're going through,
I'm here for you, okay?

Now sit tight. I'll have Kitty make you
an anchovy jalapeno pizza instead.

Well, the museum looked pretty quiet.
Maybe we got here in time.

Still, we better hurry. Cyclops, would you
go inform our stowaway that we've arrived?

Stowaway?

Oh, hey!

Have anything to say for yourself?

Oh, yeah.
That's the last time I fly no-frills.

Uh-huh. Come on. Let's go.

Fan out. Secure the building.

Someone want to check that glitch
in the alarm system? I'm on a break.

Need an Ace of Clubs, monsieur?

Huh?

Hey! Hey! Let me out!

Don't fret, mate.
We'll be out of here in five.

Oh, yeah. Definitely the cool team.

Looks like Magneto's already let himself in.

-You stick with me.
-Don't worry. I got your back.

You don't have my back.
You don't have a clue.

Hello. We've got X-Men.

And I think they want to play.

Like I said. Iceman's got your back.

Beast, tuck and roll!

Let her fly.

Ah.

Hm?

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

Magnus, stop.
We don't know anything about it.

I know enough. That's one key
that will not be unlocking any doors!

We have to capture it
and then protect it.

That Spider Stone
possesses answers we need.

We're on it, Professor.

Yeah! Ha, ha! Barbecued spider.
Specialty of the house.

It's gone down under.

-Xavier.
-Mesmero. I want answers.

Vanished. Apocalypse.

It's in the river, there!

-Scott, don't damage it.
-I'm just trying to slow it down.

-Iceman, bridge us over.
-Hang on.

Been waiting for you.

I do believe that slowed it down.

Just long enough.

-Don't do it, Magnus. Do not destroy it!
-I must.

You've done the very thing Mesmero wanted.

No. The key has been destroyed.

He knew only you had the power to do it.
That wasn't just a key.

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

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

He used you, Magnus, from the beginning.

-It was heading directly southeast.
-But where was it going?

I don't know.
But it is in our best interest to find out.

Because when Mesmero
finds the third and final key,

the world as we know it
will change forever.
