X-Men: Evolution (2000) s01e09 Episode Script

Wake up, Kane.
It's time you had a long overdue family reunion with your brother Charles Xavier.
You will not be making wallets, necktie racks or paperweights.
You will not engage in potato-sack races, water-balloon tosses, or pony rides.
You will be taking 20-mile hikes, rappelling 200-foot cliffs and crossing treacherous water with no more than a rope and courage.
- Do you read me? - Yes, Sergeant Hawk, sir.
- I said, do you read me? - Yes, Sergeant Hawk, sir! Welcome to Iron Back Survival Camp.
A name you won't soon forget.
Now, here we have a young man, Scott Sumner.
- Summers.
- Whose scholastic achievements at Bayville High earned him the rank of group leader.
You will be following his lead.
You've got 10 minutes to stow your gear and report to the training field.
Dismissed! - Oh, I'm gonna be dead in, like, two days.
- What about me? I'm a city kid.
- What did we ever do to deserve this? - I'm going AWOL.
Anyone know how to hot-wire a school bus? Slow down, private.
We're not washing out in front of the school.
- Besides, Professor X endorses this place.
- Yeah.
At least he gave us a choice.
- Survival training here or with Wolverine.
- Some choice.
Come on.
We can do this.
- Oh, man.
- This is gonna be hard.
Man, Sergeant Hawk should really be told that I'm a city kid.
Group leader, scholastic achievement.
That should've been me.
You can't even spell "scholastic achievement," Blob.
But I can spell "doomed.
" Which is what that goody-goody gang is after I get them alone in the woods.
Yeah.
I can hear it now: "Search-and-rescue efforts abandoned for missing teens.
No traces found.
" Hey, easy, guys.
We'll beat them where it hurts most.
In public, in front of everyone.
Let's go.
Cellular paralysis biofluid.
Amazing.
It actually stopped the unstoppable.
It'll take a few moments before you can move.
Then I'll sneak you out of this prison, where Now, who was it that locked you away? Oh, that's right.
Your brother, Charles Xavier.
- Sore subject? - Who are you? A dealmaker.
I arrange your early release and you deliver to me one item in your brother's possession.
His mutant detection system known as Cerebro.
And my brother? I leave his fate in your capable hands.
You are, after all, the unstoppable Juggernaut.
Now, I have a plane waiting.
It will take you No one No one takes Juggernaut anywhere.
- And nothing gets in my way.
- Charming.
I'm not built for this kind of stuff.
- You swim? - Yeah.
Pity.
Hey! Hey! That cheating chump! Listen, we agreed not to use any powers out here, remember? - You know, just man against nature.
- That guy needs his boat popped! Yeah.
Well, Scott's cool.
He'll handle it like a group leader should.
Or not.
- Yeah! - You got him! Way to go, man! Yeah! That loser, Scott, should've lost and you know it.
Just because he slipped and took a bath, he went ballistic! - Slipped? More like avalanched.
- He stole that first-place ribbon.
- He did not! - You want that ribbon so bad? I'll pin it to your forehead, freak.
How about I ventilate that ego of yours, Pietro, just like old times? Go ahead and try, slow-mo.
- 58, 59, 60.
Now on your feet.
Here at Iron Back we got ways to weed the loudmouths from the tough guys.
We fight it out in the wilderness, against the wilderness.
You grunts want to prove how tough you are, fine.
First team to snatch a flag I planted up there on Mount Humiliation and brings it back to me, wins.
- Cakewalk.
Our team can take a sauna.
- I'll get it myself.
- Not if I beat you there.
The whole team or no one! As proof, I want a snapshot of every member right there at the top.
- Are we clear? - Sir, yes, sir! You leave in five from opposite trails.
Be ready.
Better say your farewells, "Sumner.
" Because you guys aren't coming back.
- You got something in mind? Because l - Scott, what do you think you're doing? What? Nothing.
I'm just fed up with those delinquents getting away with everything while we play by the rules.
Hey, we don't need our powers to beat you.
Fine, then.
We'll all play it straight.
Know what? We'll wave to you from the top.
Good.
That's the deal.
We're all competing fairly, no powers.
- I personally am very proud of - Come on, Jean.
- Is Cerebro locating new mutant sigs? - No.
Just our students up at Iron Back.
- They've been a little active.
- Did you tell them not to use their powers? No.
I was hoping they'd make that decision themselves.
Well, I still say you should have let me handle their survival training.
I gave them that choice, Logan.
They felt they had a better chance of surviving the camp.
Well, well.
Seems we have a new mutant on the scene after all.
Discovery: Enhanced mutant signature.
Identity confirmed and matched to archive file.
Archive file? Who would? Name: Kane Marko.
Residence: Stokes County Maximum Security Prison.
Current location: In transit, upstate New York.
- No! - Kane Marko? Who's? My half-brother.
Somehow he's escaped.
- But that's impossible.
- What's an "enhanced" mutant signature? He possessed an X-gene at birth.
But it was dormant most of his life.
- So he awakened it with mysticism.
- What kind of powers does he have? He's become a juggernaut.
Invulnerable.
Come on.
Let's pick it up.
We're almost to the base.
What's with Mr.
Decathlon? He's as bad as Sergeant Hawk.
All he cares about is winning this thing.
Hey, Kurt.
Can't you, like, make yourself useful and just teleport us up to the top? This trip is of the power-free variety, I'm told.
Come on, just follow Scott's lead on this.
We'll win, you'll see.
The mosquitoes here are the size of pelicans.
No bugs like this in the burg, man.
Why are we here again? What's taking you boys so long? Man, if he slips and falls, we are history.
Death by blubber-bomb.
Fastest way to the top is a straight line, Pietro.
We are winning this race, make no mistake.
Engage autopilot.
Efforts to locate this powerful convict have been hampered by the unexpected appearance of dense inland fog.
Let's to go to Haley Taylor for more on this strange weather.
Very good, Storm.
Keep it up.
If no one can see Kane then no one will be foolish enough to try and recapture him.
If I can't stop him, Charles, your best protection will be in the Danger Room.
- I've got it ready.
- Yes.
It may slow him down.
But it won't stop him.
- Do you have any defense against him? - Just one.
My mind.
With enough psychic blasts I can disable him, unless he's wearing his helmet.
Hey, Freddy.
A helping hand? - Freddy! Freddy, stop! - Yeah, stop! - An abandoned mine? - Toad's checking for a shortcut.
There's a tunnel in here that's like a stairway to the top.
Now you're talking.
That flag is ours! - Spot the flag? - No.
- Pop up top and see if it's still there.
- But I thought - What about Jean? - Hey, you want to win or not? Okay, fine.
But she's not going to like this.
I can tell you that.
It's there.
We are very close.
- And no sign of the enemy.
- Forget the pitons.
Evan, spike a rope up there.
Time is wasting.
You sure? You look pretty sure to me.
That flag is ours.
You goonhead! We can't get through there! We probably lost because of you! I kind of figured you could, you know, avalanche it loose a little bit.
He's right.
Give it some more juice and you'll unclog it.
All right! Stand back.
Look out! It's coming down! There it is! Victory! Earthquake! - I don't recommend that.
- Nice move.
- Steady, dude.
- That tremor had to be Lance.
So they gotta be close.
Jean, levitate us all to the top.
- No way.
Forget it.
- What? You just used your powers.
- What's the difference? - That was life-and-death! This contest isn't.
Seems like X-Men ought to know the difference.
Over here.
It's them.
Yeah.
We're caved in.
Come on, don't leave us down here, man.
Not for some stupid flag.
We won't.
Kane's failed relationship with our father and his resentment of me fueled his anger.
But after he was empowered, that anger became destructive and dangerous.
He had to be locked away.
I had no choice.
He's here.
Lay out the welcome mat, brother.
I'm coming home.
You can't stop the Juggernaut.
Forgive me for trying, bub.
I expected better.
No! That musclehead! You lumbering imbecile! What did you do? Sit on Cerebro? You smashed it! What happened to our deal? I don't make deals! Charles, aren't you gonna welcome me home? - Hang on to my back.
I'll pull you up.
- Forget it.
I'll pull myself up.
See you at the top.
Pietro? I'm there.
Hey! X- Men, Professor X is in danger.
And so is Mystique.
- Up to it? - Let's go.
- You ungrateful thug! - Kane, this doesn't have to end badly.
- This house, it's about new beginnings.
- You're right, Charles.
This is the beginning for me.
And the end for both of you! You've learned nothing.
You never will.
Activate: Logan's Run X-13.
- We'll take it from here.
- Well, now.
This is a surprise.
Kane's helmet.
Remove it! Unstoppable, meet the unmovable.
Get the latch.
No! I'm sorry, Kane.
- Yeah! - Good job! Now, there's something you won't see every day.
I agree.
And that's a shame.
Come on, boys.
Let's get out of here before you're invited to a slumber party.
Hey, Summers, as a group leader, you're only half-bad.
- Then next time you can call the shots.
- Trust me.
There won't be a next time.
You can't control the will of others, Charles.
- They do what they want.
- And we do what we have to do.
Yeah.
Well, ready? Repairs on Cerebro are waiting.
Yes.
- It felt kind of right, didn't it? - What did? You know, us and them fighting alongside.
Why can't they just stop drawing battle lines in the sand? Well, it's like Logan said.
You can't control the will of others.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, maybe they'll come around.
You could be their conscience.
You're good at it.
Oh, shut up! Hey, even good guys need a nudge once in a while.
Jean, whenever you think I need it, nudge away.
