X-Men (1992) s02e02 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on X-MEN Do you, Scott Summers, take this woman -to be your lawfully wedded wife? -I do.
You'll destroy them all.
I'll destroy them all.
Xavier, terrible violence.
Meet me at these coordinates.
Magneto! That's in Antarctica! Bon voyage.
(LAUGHING) What if I'd been lying about not being able to touch another human being? (GAMBIT GROANING) We have information that a violent anti-mutant attack is expected at the mutant halfway house.
Go! -Hi! -Won't you come in? How about a truly beastly workout? Oh, dear.
Fire on that mutant.
Full energy! (GROANS) (GROANS) We better get going, Jean, if we want to reach the island by sundown.
(PANTING) This is definitely not the workout I programmed.
When the Danger Room is against you, turn the Danger Room against itself.
(PANTING) Xavier's school.
I belonged here once.
I was an X-Man.
I sense your determination fading, Morph.
You! What do you want from me? I'm here to make sure you are still committed to our purpose, to destroy the X-Men.
Destroy the X-Men? No! They're my friends! But friends don't betray friends, Morph.
They don't abandon them! No.
But two are missing! I sent them I sent them Somewhere very romantic.
But Cyclops and Jean Grey are mine! We're finally alone, just the two of us, without another person for a hundred miles.
Oh, Scott.
RUCKUS: Ahoy! On the sailboat! JEAN: Who could that be? I thought the island was uninhabited.
I have a message for you! -Go ahead! -With pleasure! (INHALES DEEPLY) (SHRIEKING) Looks like you are all dry-docked, permanently! Nobody invited you on the honeymoon! (SCREAMS) -Scott! -You ain't going nowhere, lady! (JEAN GRUNTS) Collar them.
I don't want to have to hurt them, yet.
(GROANS) My powers! These are out of fashion now on Genosha, but on you it looks good! (COLLARS BEEPING) (GROANING) It will be easier if you don't resist, and less dangerous.
Who are you? What do you want with us? My name is Sinister.
Mr.
Sinister.
BEAST: Peace officers and the media.
Not a good combination for a purported gun-toting troublemaker like myself.
Then we sneak in.
Come on.
-After you.
-Hmm.
Nice work, Beast.
Storm! What have they done to you, gal? She's sleeping deeply, but according to her medical charts, Storm should recover with time.
(SIGHING) I shouldn't have left her alone with that mob.
-I should have been there to help her! -It wasn't your fault.
At least I tried to help! I didn't say I'd be there and then never show my shaggy blue hide! But I was never told of your mission.
Don't try to feed me that hog slop! I was with Storm when she called you.
This is very odd, indeed.
Perhaps someone DOCTOR: Someone's in the mutant's room! Uh-oh! Security! Perhaps we should return during normal visiting hours.
-Leader! Leader! Leader! -Leader! Leader! Leader! What we have accomplished tonight is a warning to all mutants of what the future holds for them! Tomorrow belongs to humanity, a humanity cleansed of this foul mutant disease! Here's one of them! A mutant! -What should we do with her? -Get rid of her! -It'll be one less mutant freak! -You've heard the verdict.
(CROWD CHEERING) The normal people have spoken.
You call this bunch of sickos normal? Why do you hate us? What did we ever do to you? You were born.
Take her away! You wouldn't be so brave if my hands weren't tied! (CROWD CHEERING) (GLASS BREAKING) (YELLING) End of the trail, dirtbags! (CROWD EXCLAIMING) (GRUNTING) (CREED GROANING) You sure pick weird places to hang out.
Storm sent me to one of their headquarters and their goons grabbed me.
It's not my fault! If you knew how much bubblegum I had to sniff to find you MAN 1: Let's get that guy.
MAN 2: He's in the alley.
MAN 3: After them.
Get them! MAN 4: Come on! This way! BEAST: These constant recriminations are counterproductive.
It don't matter how pretty you try to make it sound, you weren't there for Storm when she needed you! (GROANS) You two make enough noise to wake the half-dead.
(GASPING) Gambit! You're okay! No thanks to you, chère.
You told Gambit a little kiss wouldn't hurt.
No, I didn't.
You snuck a kiss and got what was coming to you! Gambit don't never go where he's not invited.
-This is no time for angry words! -XAVIER: Gambit! Apparently, I've returned just in time.
And the news I have is disturbing.
I have just discovered that we may all be under attack by a most unusual weapon, a neural disruptor which alters brain waves, causing its target to behave in strange, even irrational ways.
(SNIFFING) It can't be! But I can smell him! -Morph's here! He's alive! -Restrain him! He's being affected by the neural disruptor! (SCREAMS) Morph! What are you doing? -Stop him! -Stop, my friend! (GRUNTS) -You're not yourself! -I'm not the one who's not myself! Can't you smell him? (SNIFFS) It's not the Professor! It's Morph! (GROANS) He's out of control! Destroy him! Gambit never hear the Professor say that before.
(STAMMERS) (GIGGLING) What do you know? I'm cured! Well, one good turn deserves another! WOLVERINE: Plasma grenade! -He's alive.
-And in a lousy mood.
I can't believe it.
I'm sealing off the school's defensive perimeter.
-He won't be able to leave the grounds.
-But why would Morph want to hurt us? I cannot be certain.
Perhaps because we left him behind.
(BEEPING) You wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Goodbye.
(JUBILEE GASPS) (GRUNTS) (GROANING) I know you feel betrayed, Morph.
After we were whipped by the Sentinels, I tried to make Cyclops go back for you and Beast.
(SCREAMS) Cyclops had to leave you behind to save the rest of us.
Maybe he was wrong, but that's no reason for revenge.
Who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? (GRUNTS) Uh-oh! Who do I shoot? I've got to stop one of them, but which one? You gotta blast us both! It's the only way to get Morph! (SCREAMS) (GIGGLING) Nice shot.
Sorry! I was sure only the real you would tell me to blast both Wolverines! Live and learn.
(PANTING) (GRUNTING) BEAST: Morph? WOLVERINE: Yeah.
He got away.
Where will he go now? He'll go after the X-Man he has the most reason to hate.
Your whole lives I've watched you, tracked you, studied you.
You are the prototypes, the chosen ones.
And from your offspring, I will control the future of all human creatures on Earth! Whatever you want, Sinister, but leave Jean out of this! No, Scott.
Whatever happens, we're together! (CHUCKLES) I knew I was right.
Your genetic material will be the foundation, (GROANING) the master bloodline for an unbeatable race of mutants who will be my slaves! Through you, I shall give birth to the future! STORM: I can't believe it! Morph, alive! Such unexpected and welcome news! He's not like the Morph you used to know.
He hates the X-Men.
Sometimes I think everybody hates us.
For every human who gives in to hate and fear, there are hundreds who are willing to see the truth.
They are the future.
Morph believed that, too, once.
Now all he wants is revenge.
Yoo-hoo! Lovebirds? (CHUCKLING) Come out, come out, wherever you are! (CLICKING TONGUE) Looks like old Cyke needs some sailing lessons.
(GRUNTING) Morph! You're alive! And you're married, or are you? I now pronounce you betrayer and betrayess.
Is this some kind of sick joke? It wasn't a sick joke when you left me to die! How do you like feeling your last seconds on Earth ticking away? No, Morph! Cyclops did what he had to do for the good of the team, what you would have done in his place.
That's easy for you to say.
He's never left you behind! MR.
SINISTER: Shoot him, and I destroy you! You again! -Who are you? -You know who I am, Morph.
Think.
Remember.
I can't! I can't! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) MR.
SINISTER: I found you, lying lifeless outside the mutant registration headquarters.
After your friends had deserted you, I healed your broken body.
I gave you new life, but your mind was beyond repair.
You became two people.
The one you would recognize as Morph, and the one who interested me, the one who wanted revenge on his betrayer! I remember! (EXPLOSION) Destroy them! Tear them apart! I wouldn't bet on it! (SHRIEKING) I never thought a super sense of hearing could be so painful.
That's because you never heard Ruckus raise a ruckus before! (GRUNTS) Didn't anybody ever tell you? You don't kick a man when he's down, hairbag! Hey! Who told you my name? You making fun of me? Nobody makes fun of Hairbag! I'll just have to swat you like a blue-tail fly! You'll just be a greasy blue spot on the sand! Huh? Y'all don't mind if I play through? Two of you! The odds are getting better and better! (GROWLING) (COUGHING) I'm choking! My eyes! I can't see! Then you won't know what hit you! Gambit say "You play fair or you don't play at all!" -Come to Gorgeous, pretty boy! -Gambit likes to play hard to get! You've got to play harder than that! (SCREAMING) (GROANING) Gambit! Keep your sticky fingers to yourself, you walking tar pit! Oh! You wouldn't say that if you knew me better! (GRUNTING) Whoa! Hey, Gorgeous! Where are the (SLAB GAGS) (SLAB GROANING) (SHRIEKING) (GRUNTS) (GROANS) (SNARLING) (INHALES DEEPLY) "The noblest answer unto such Is kindly silence when they brawl.
" Alfred Lord Tennyson.
RUCKUS: Whoa! (SNARLING) We practiced with the B-team.
Now it's time for the big game.
(GRUNTS) I think you get your wish, mon ami.
You shall not interfere with my greatest experiment! Morph! You've got to help us! Look, whatever happened, you're still part of the team! You're still one of the X-Men! One of the X-Men? The future belongs to superior mutants, the ones I shall create! None of you are necessary! You kept me alive! And the evil that's in me! But the worst of us still has some good! I should have let you die! (GASPS) (SIGHS) Leave him alone, Sinister! Your fight is with me! (GROANING) My body! This is impossible! So, you like playing God with mutants' lives.
Well, just keep away from my friends! (SCREAMING) Ruckus! The plane! (GROANING) Yeah, go ahead, run.
-I'll be watching for you.
-Cyclops, are you all right? No, and I won't be until that scum pays for what he's done! Forget it, Scott.
We're all okay.
-We're going home.
-Unmarried.
Still married in our hearts.
And to be married again, one day.
Where's Morph? -Morph, no! Come back! -Let him go, Wolverine.
Morph may be afraid of what he would do if he stays with us.
He must learn to deal with what he has become.
He's my friend.
He's the only one who could ever make me laugh.
I'm not going to desert him this time! XAVIER: You seem well for a dying man, Magneto.
I'm disappointed.
You've never resorted to lies with me before.
What do you mean? It was you who had last words to share with me.
I sense the lingering presence of something sinister.
-Avalanche! -We've walked into a trap! (BOTH SCREAMING)
