[CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
[BOTH PANTING.]
[GASPS.]
[GRUNTING.]
Ha.
Admit it, Peter.
You're being schooled by a girl.
Whoa! [GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
Well, well, looks like school is out.
[LAUGHS.]
[.]
SHADOWCAT: Hey! Somebody get me down.
[GRUNTS.]
Why don't you just phase through it? And fall on my face? No thanks.
Now come on and help me out.
You're an X-Man.
Do it yourself.
Kurt! Aah! Oh! Peter! Uh-oh, this is not so good.
[GRUNTS.]
Hello, Kitty.
Oh, great.
You're a lot of help.
Five more seconds and I win.
[SCREAMS.]
[SIGHS.]
[ALARM BUZZES.]
Uh What just happened? He happened.
[OVER PA.]
Just my little way of saying goodbye.
See you when I get back.
Yeah, you'd better run.
Wait, come back here and get us down.
Logan.
Logan! SCOTT: Come on, Jean, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry? Logan's the one you should be apologizing to.
Yeah, I know.
[BLOWS KISS.]
Hey, Hank.
Been waiting there long? Not really.
Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss you.
Have you seen Rogue? For reasons beyond my comprehension, Rogue just doesn't enjoy the thought of you leaving.
Go figure.
Aren't you gonna say goodbye? No.
You know I'll be back, Rogue.
[SCOFFS.]
Who cares? Maybe I'll just take off too.
Why would you do that? This is your home, kid.
No, it's not home.
Not when you're gone, which is most of the time.
People here care for you.
It's not the same.
You're more-- Ugh! Forget it.
More what? Like family, Logan, and you don't even know that.
Can't you see I'm just like you? [CHILDREN LAUGHING.]
[GROANING.]
Charles! Charles.
[JEAN GROANING.]
Jean, what's wrong? [GRUNTS.]
[GASPS.]
[CAR HORN HONKS.]
[ENGINE REVS.]
[TRAIN WHISTLE HONKING.]
[SIGHS.]
[.]
[WOMAN WHIMPERS.]
[COUGHING.]
Erica.
Where's Erica? She's still inside.
Oof! Erica! Unh! No, it's too dangerous.
Not for me.
[.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ALL GASP.]
[SOBBING.]
[SOBBING.]
Over here! It's the mutant.
[GIRL COUGHING.]
Hey.
Hey, the girl's under there.
Come on.
Come on, hurry! [COUGHS.]
Mommy.
Erica? Erica! You're okay.
Oh, baby, you're all right.
MAN: Hey, look, it's still alive.
We need to move him.
Jillian, spread out a blanket.
What's the matter with you people? Chris, help me.
Sorry.
[GROANS.]
Take it easy.
You saved my daughter.
Forget him, he's the MRD's problem now.
You turned him in, Carl? After what he did? He's got razors in his hands, Randy.
Haven't you been watching the news? The MRD's been looking for this one.
Well, they won't find him here.
[.]
Look.
His skin, it's already healing.
Please.
Please, wake up.
[.]
[GROANING.]
Charles! Charles.
[JEAN GROANING.]
Jean, what's wrong? [GRUNTS.]
[ROBOTIC CLANG.]
[ROBOTIC HOWLING.]
Jean! [GASPS.]
It's okay, you're safe.
[SIGHS.]
Sorry.
Unh.
Where am I? At my house.
Here, I brought you something to drink.
You're getting better really fast, you know? Daddy says that's good because you wouldn't want to go to a hospital.
You're dad's a smart man.
[PHONE RINGING.]
I better go.
I'm not supposed to be in here bothering you.
Hello.
Mrs.
Wyman, I don't see how it's any of your concern who stays at our house.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING.]
I cannot believe Carl.
He's got the neighborhood worked up.
RANDY: I guess we should've expected this.
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING.]
[SIRENS WAILING.]
[.]
[.]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING.]
He's got razors in his hands.
Where is he? Where's who? Wanna play it that way? Fine.
You're all under arrest.
On what charge? Harboring a fugitive mutant.
Ah! You have no right to do this.
[GROWLS.]
[YELLING.]
[BOTH GRUNT.]
[GROWLS.]
Get clear! We'll handle him.
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GRUNTS.]
[.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GROWLS.]
[GROWLING.]
Who wants some? [GASPS.]
Code 10! Abort! Abort! [ALL SCREAMING.]
[.]
[GROWLS.]
[ALL GASP.]
Hey! [GRUNTS.]
[GROWLS.]
MAN: Tell me about the mutant.
We don't know what you're talking about.
His name is Wolverine, and he's very dangerous.
He is not.
Yes, he is.
[MOTORCYCLE APPROACHING.]
[SNIFFING.]
[.]
[SNIFFS.]
[GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTS.]
Hm.
LOGAN: Whatcha working on, Hank? [YELLS.]
Logan, seriously.
Must you always make an entrance? Yeah, but you gotta learn to relax, Hank.
Try getting out a little more.
Well, with Charles and Jean, you know, unaccounted for, I just can't think of anything else.
Me neither.
Believe me, I've tried.
Learn anything new? I have confirmed that the explosion was indeed centered on Charles's position.
So he was the likely target.
But what was the cause? It defies classification.
No evidence of combustion, chemical reaction, radiation or electromagnetism.
That pretty much rules out the MRD.
Probably Magneto too.
So who then? I don't know, but I'll figure it out.
What about you, Logan? You're not the type to pop in for no reason.
It's those freaking mardies.
They're out of control, Hank.
They snatched up a family just for helping me.
Really? They're arresting non-mutants now? I gotta fix this and I want you with me.
No, no, I can't.
Why don't you ask the others? What others? I don't know where anyone is.
Hank, I need your help.
Well I can't remember the last time you ever asked for assistance.
[.]
What's that thing doing now? Ah, this piece of junk? Picked up a mutant, but can never tell if it's two miles away or two feet.
WOLVERINE: Hey, bub.
How you making out, Hank? It smells back here.
Well, I don't think prisoners ought to ride in the front, do you? Why don't you put your shackles on? [GROWLING AND BANGING.]
What kind of mutant you got in there? One big ugly beast.
Now, can we hurry it up? You do not want this thing busting out right here.
Uh-- Uh, go.
Go.
[BOTH GASP.]
[.]
Freeze! Hands behind your head, freak.
Now! See here, gentlemen, let's take a deep breath, shall we? You see, I'm a pacifist by nature.
So those weapons are not-- [WOLVERINE GROWLS.]
Let me guess.
The shackles were chafing, right? No.
Well, yes, but only during my performance.
I was just about to put them back on.
Really.
Let's go, Chewie.
You find out where they keep the prisoners, I'll lock up these guards.
Stop! Where are you taking him? [GRUNTS.]
So what now? You're gonna torture me? Think of it as incentive to tell me the truth about Wolverine.
I'll tell you the truth.
He's a hero.
[GRUNTS.]
[GROANING.]
This is a sensory assault helmet, the cutting edge in information gathering.
Last chance.
You're the ones people should watch out for, not the mutants.
[MACHINE HUMMING.]
[GROANING.]
[GASPS.]
Easy, now.
We don't need to fight, okay? [SIGHS.]
[PUNCH LANDING.]
Gentlemen, there are two ways we can handle this.
[BOTH GRUNT.]
What? It was their choice.
I didn't say a word.
Here, I've located the detention area.
Randy, what did they do to you? ERICA: Are you all right, Daddy? I'm-- I'm okay.
You are animals.
We told you we don't know anything.
Perhaps not, but she might.
[.]
[THUDDING.]
[BOTH YELL.]
How about you? Easy way or hard way? [GROWLING.]
[GROWLS.]
Hard way it is.
Now, I want you to leave that nice family alone.
Got it? And so you don't forget, here's a little incentive.
[GROANS.]
Wolverine! [MACHINE HUMMING.]
[COMPUTER BEEPS.]
[ALARM BUZZING.]
About time.
What's going on? Go! Go! [ALARM CONTINUES.]
Can anyone here torch a hangar? You're singing my song, mate.
Boom Boom, light 'em up.
Sure thing, hotshot.
[GRUNTS.]
We got two in pursuit, and fireballs aren't bringing these down.
Come on, Dust.
This one's yours.
MAN: Bail out! We're going down! [ALARM BUZZING.]
Give it a few weeks, the mardies will lose interest in you.
Thank you for everything.
Well, take care of yourselves.
[WHISPERING.]
Don't leave.
I have to.
It's time I went home.
Look after your folks, okay? Hank? WOMAN [OVER TV.]
: prompting other nations to consider forming their own mutant response divisions.
Originally proposed by Senator Kelly of New York-- Agh! Hank! Man, say something when you sneak up on a guy.
I'll try and remember that.
What are you doing? Where are the other mutants? Gone their separate ways.
But those cells we emptied, they'll be full again tomorrow.
and the next day.
Yeah.
Hank, we both know what's going on.
There's a war coming and it ain't gonna be pretty.
I agree.
So what's next? We bring back the X-Men.
