Wolverine and the X-Men (2008) s01e15 Episode Script
Hunting Grounds
SCARLET WITCH: Kurt? Kurt, is everything all right? (SIGHS) Just wunderbar.
I thought maybe you'd let me read to you.
Just to pass the time.
Sorry, not today.
Then maybe we could just talk.
You know, about movies or I don't think so.
Look, I spoke with my father again, but Let me guess, he still refuses.
Kurt, it's just that he knows what'll happen if he lets you out.
You'll tell everyone about the prisons here.
And then mutants would stop coming to Genosha, mutants who should come.
He knows what he's doing, (WHOOSHING) and he (SCARLET WITCH GASPS) Wanda? Wanda, are you still there? (GASPING) I told you this wasn't over.
(WHIMPERS) (GROWLS) (GRUNTS) (GROWLS) Father? Lorna, you shouldn't be up this late.
Did something happen to Wanda? I heard she's missing.
Oh, she'll be fine, dear.
I'll make sure of it.
Um, who told you there was a problem? Pyro.
Why? Oh, just wondering.
Now don't let this upset you, all right? Go on back to bed.
Okay.
Good night.
Search every inch of this island.
And if Nightcrawler has hurt a single hair on her head, take care of him.
(GRUNTING) You, Pyro, have done quite enough.
(EXCLAIMS) (BOTH GRUNTING) Tell me you did this.
Nein.
But I know who did.
Spiral.
Spiral? Wasn't she Let's go.
We must find a way out of here.
Isn't Spiral that pirate who was kidnapping mutants headed to Genosha? Yeah, but after I stopped her, she promised it wasn't over.
She's a woman of her word, I'll give her that.
Welcome, my esteemed guests.
What is going on here? Rejoice, for you have both been specially chosen to compete in this week's exciting episode of Mojo's Hunting Grounds! You abducted me for some game? Are you out of your mind? Wanda, don't provoke him.
MOJO: After all, what an exciting opportunity to test your mutant mettle.
And in return, all I ask is that you survive at least 52 minutes for commercial breaks.
Do you have any idea who I am? Absolutely.
I know exactly who you are.
You're a damsel! The distraction, the drama for our next riveting episode! ANNOUNCER: Coming soon, the return of the amazing Nightcrawler.
Witness the blue-furred X-Man fighting tooth and nail in this long-awaited rematch! But how will he survive protecting the love of his life, the beautiful Crimson Witch? That's Scarlet Witch, you stupid freak! And I don't need protecting! And she's not the love of my life.
MOJO: Cameras are rolling! Lights And action! (GRUNTS) I tell him I don't need protecting, and then you protect me.
How does that make me look? It's not protecting, it's helping.
There's a difference.
We need to keep moving.
Why? Do you really want to fight for Mojo's entertainment? (CACKLING) Run or fight, Nightcrawler.
Either way, we will be entertained.
It would be wise not to underestimate these X-Men, Mojo.
They're a dangerous breed.
Ooh, yes.
Yes, they are.
(LAUGHING EVILLY) (BOTH PANTING) That's it, I'm through running.
No, that's giving him what he wants.
Mutants being hunted for sport is exactly the kind of thing my father fights against.
Yes, in the war between mutants and humans.
But this Mojo, I don't know where he fits into that.
We have nothing to prove to him.
Wanda, your life is important to me.
Don't risk it over this.
(GROWLING) I'm just going to disarm this guy.
I'll be right back.
(GRUNTING) On second thoughts, running has been working just fine.
(BOTH PANTING) (EXCLAIMS) What is that? A wall? It's some sort of dome.
We're inside a dome.
Can you teleport us out of here? No, not without seeing what's on the other side.
Otherwise, it can get messy.
Maybe I can give us a look.
(GASPING) We're underwater? There's no way out.
Wanda, I'm so sorry.
They were after me, not you.
You just got swept up into this.
(RUSTLING) (GRUNTS) Bad news for them.
Huh? (GRUNTING) (SHOUTING) Ha! Is our featured guest ready for his close-up? Yes, Mojo.
But the Reavers are doing well.
Should we really risk moving on to round two with the new hunter? The Reavers? Those miswired buffoons don't stand a chance out there.
They're cannon fodder.
Boring! What we have got here is a celebration of my entertainment genius.
The gold standard to which all contenders will be judged.
A hunter unlike any we've ever encountered.
Wolverine.
(SNARLS) (FIRE CRACKLING) Well, at least it looks like Logan had a good time.
Who do you think was dumb enough to attack him outside his own house? Wait.
I don't think he won this fight.
(GROANING) (ALARM BLARING) Did they run away because of us? (GUNS BLASTING) (WOLVERINE SCREAMING) Uh, I think that would be no.
What is it? (GROWLING) Logan? Logan, is that you? (SNARLS) Oh, dang.
Logan, what are you doing? It's me, Kurt.
Nightcrawler.
You know, Elf? I don't think you're ringing any bells.
(ROARS) (CLAWS SLASHING) I don't know how anyone could control Wolverine like that.
He's going to catch us, Kurt.
And we won't even know it until it's too late.
We just have to stay out of his way long enough to come up with a plan.
Look, we either run until we're too exhausted to fight, or we fight now while we have the strength.
You seriously want to attack Wolverine? It's him or us.
We need to neutralize the threat, fast and permanently.
You sound just like your father.
It's called survival, Kurt.
Survival shouldn't be about turning on your friends.
Okay, then, what do you suggest? If I can remove that device on his head, maybe he'll snap out of it.
Then he'll be on our side.
And if that doesn't work? Then I'll make up something else.
(GROWLING) (GRUNTING) (BOTH SCREAM) (EXCLAIMS) (GRUNTING) (SCREAMS) Uh-oh, I think I made it worse.
(GROWLING) Kurt! MOJO: Oh, yes.
You cannot script action like this! Something isn't right.
Are we watching the same program? This Wolverine is the perfect predator.
Oh, he was clearly made to be controlled! Well, so much for control.
His implants are surging.
He's offline.
What? I'm sorry, I'm unable to locate him.
The Professor could have.
You know how this works, Ororo.
It's a grid search, and Logan could be on the other side of the world, for all we know.
This will take time.
I understand.
Please keep trying.
You know he's gonna be ticked if we don't rescue him.
Come to think of it, he's gonna be ticked if we do.
(PANTING) (WHIMPERS) (GROWLING) (SNARLING IN RAGE) Stop! My stomach is still two teleports back.
What are you doing? I've been looking for a way out.
And I think I found it.
There.
(GRUNTING) It's sealed.
He's out there, I can feel it.
Good, because that's going to help us.
What? Go hide behind those trees.
(WOLVERINE GROWLING) He's using Wolverine to get through the door.
Do you have any idea what will happen to us if they get in here? Okay.
Show's over.
Pull the plug.
(SNIFFING) That should do it.
We just need to lure him away and (METALLIC SCRAPING) (GROWLING) (PANTING) He's going to kill us, Kurt.
We have to take him down, and I mean for good! No, Wanda! I'm going after that headgear again.
(BOTH SCREAMING) (GASPS) Logan? (GASPING) It worked.
How do you know? I saw it in his eyes.
You saw it in his You're kidding, right? He'll be fine, Wanda.
Now I'm going to try to get that hatch open down there.
Just make sure he doesn't fall in.
(GASPING) Wanda! (GASPING) What happened? I dropped him.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
At least he's all right.
The hatch is open, but it's not draining fast enough.
We need to go through it.
Oh, that's not good.
Spiral! They're coming! My turn! Get me out of here! Now! (EXCLAIMING) (SCREAMS) You think you're so noble.
I saw what you did.
I don't know who you are, but I'm pretty sure I don't like you.
(BOTH GRUNT) (GROANS) (SNARLS) (GASPS) Take another step and I'll skewer the rodent! Listen up, tubbo.
You drop him right now or you'll be counting a few more holes in your head.
Spiral? (GRUNTS) This demands a sequel! Elf? Hey, you okay? Come on, wake up.
Logan? Yeah.
Now, someone wanna tell me what's going on here? You sure bringing her back here is the right move? It's what she wants.
(WOLVERINE GRUNTS) (METAL SNAPPING) Where is my daughter? You got the wrong idea, Magneto.
I'm here, Father.
Wanda.
I want you to let them go.
I'll release them once they're safely contained in cells.
They didn't take me, Father.
They're just bringing me back.
I'm sorry, but I can't allow them to leave this island.
They saved my life! Isn't that worth their freedom? So this is your paradise, huh, Magneto? Paradise has its price, Wolverine.
Come, Wanda.
I'll be right there.
Thank you.
Don't thank me, not after what I did.
What do you mean? When the dome was flooding and I was holding on to Wolverine in the tree Yeah.
I didn't drop him.
I let him go.
Why? I don't know.
I I guess it's because that's what my father would have done.
So I thought it was right.
Why are you telling me this? Because you showed me it was wrong.
Come back with us, Wanda.
You don't have to stay here.
Yes, I do.
My place is with my father.
Goodbye, Kurt.
And look, he's got Kurt with him.
Does Wolverine look angry to you? I think he looks angry.
He always looks like that.
I thought maybe you'd let me read to you.
Just to pass the time.
Sorry, not today.
Then maybe we could just talk.
