X-Men (1992) s02e09 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on X-MEN ROGUE: I don't wanna live my whole life without knowing what it's like to touch another human being.
GAMBIT: What's wrong, chère? You know what happens when I touch somebody! You wanna end up in the hospital? Maybe it's worth it, no? You're not going to like this, but (COUGHING) Don't worry.
I won't tell Jean.
I just hope (ROGUE GRUNTS) I absorbed your power when I touched you.
I mean, how do I turn this darn thing off? Maybe you just want me to wake you up with a kiss.
(GAMBIT GROANING) Some mutants might welcome the chance to become normal.
Yeah? Who? No deserters in this crowd.
(THUNDER CLAPPING) Give me that umbrella, lady.
(ROARING) (SCREAMING) You said you had a gift for me.
MR.
SINISTER: Yes.
One day I will ask for repayment.
Well? Dr.
Charles Xavier is no longer with the X-Men.
I can't believe it! Like sheep without a shepherd, they become lambs to the slaughter.
Defeat them and you can reclaim your daughter.
(MR.
SINISTER LAUGHING) (PEOPLE SCREAMING) (ALL CLAMORING) Nice work, Avalanche, old stick.
Allow me.
(SCREECHING) (MAN SCREAMING) Oh, boy! Tutti-frutti! (BELCHES) This job ain't half bad! Storm, Rogue, what do you see? A fat boy and a pair of juvenile delinquents.

Ah-ha! Here come those tedious teacher's pets.
Our job is done.
Let's go.

No! You can't have any! (BLOB LAUGHING) And I just washed this uniform.
(GASPS) Why is that gal staring at me? (SCREAMING) -Rogue! What's the matter? -Rogue! You! No! (PANTING) Get away from me! (SCREAMING) Who, chère? Who'd you see? -Guess I had one of them flashes.
-Flashes? Last few weeks.
Since the Professor disappeared.
Can you remember what Professor Xavier -was working on with you? -Not exactly.
I know he blocked out a whole bunch of memories.
Scott, I ran a computer search on that woman Rogue saw.
She really gets around.
CYCLOPS: It's almost like she wants us to see her.
You remember anything about her? Uh I don't know.
-Rogue! What is it? -(GROANING) I'm fine.
I just need some air.
WOMAN: Can't keep me bottled up in there forever.
Leave me alone! (GRUNTS) (COUGHING) Wolverine! I'm sorry! -WOMAN: Way to go, Rogie-roo! -Get away! (GRUNTS) (ROGUE GASPS) Careful, chère.
Gambit just trying to help.
Just Just stay away.
All of you! Jean! Rogue? Cyclops! -I need to talk to -Hey, girlfriend, miss me? Stop haunting me! Where am I? WOMAN: In the lower depths of your mind, where you put me.
I wanted you to see what you had done! Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? You took away my life! Get away from me! Calm down, Rogue.
Jean's here.
Tell us what's going on.
(IN OTHER WOMAN'S VOICE) What is this place? Who are you people? Everything's going to be all right, Rogue.
(NORMAL VOICE) No! Get away! Rogue! Stop it! (GROANING) What are you doing? Get out of my head! I'm probing her mind.
There's another presence in there.
(ROGUE SCREAMING) Jean, get Storm to follow her.
We have to be prepared for anything.
(THUNDER CLAPPING) Storm to Cyclops.
Rogue is moving toward the Statue of Liberty.
CYCLOPS ON RADIO: Acknowledged.

Let us help you.
Only Professor X could have helped me.
And he's gone now, maybe forever.
Trust us, Rogue.
We shall find a way to help you.
Forget it, Rogue.
You're mine now! -No! -Rogue, wait! Storm to Cyclops.
I had her for a moment, but she fled.
I am following her.
Come find me, Rogue, I'm inside.
Inside where? The hospital, where you put me.
Then I'm gonna come down and shut you up! Finally, she is ready to come back to me.
Rogue? Where are you? Storm! I'm down here! Thank goodness.
I was worried.
Maybe you ought to worry about yourself.
(GROANS) I admire your subtlety, Blob.
This is Storm.

WOLVERINE: Needs salt.
BLOB: Hey, who ordered the hurricane? They were just a mere distraction.
We must search the hospital.
A shape-shifter is after Rogue.
Why'd you bring me to this hospital? There ain't nothing you can show me that Hey! Where are you? Who are you? What are you doing in my mind? Now I got What's going on here? Mystique, I ought to knock you three ways from Sunday! Why have you been doing this to me? To get close to her.
To help you remember the past that Professor Xavier purged from your memory.
Why do you care what I know about my past? Touch me and remember.
(GROANING) You ever been kissed, girl? I'm beginning to think I never will be.
ROGUE: Cody! My first boyfriend.
That's when I felt my My powers.
My own flesh and blood, a mutant! Daddy, please You're a disgrace! I'm ashamed to be seen with you! You ain't my daughter.
Not anymore.
Daddy.
Daddy.
ROGUE: I had no choice.
I had to leave.
I had no one to turn to until You look like you could use a meal and a hot bath.
ROGUE: You taught me everything about my mutant powers.
(AVALANCHE SCREAMING) How I could steal people's memories.
And their powers.
You training me for what you said would be the most important day of my life.
I'm lost.
Could you help me? (ALARM SOUNDING) Initiating takeoff procedure now! It's Miss Marvel! That's Ms.
Marvel to you, round boy! MYSTIQUE: You won't stop me this time! If my guess is right, my daughter has a serious surprise for you.
(ROGUE SCREAMING) (ALARM BEEPING) MYSTIQUE ON RADIO: Grab her, Rogue! (MS.
MARVEL GROANS) What are you doing? Momma, something's wrong! I want to let go.
No! Hold on! No matter what! But something's happening, Momma.
I'm scared! Don't let go! (MS.
MARVEL GROANING) Why did I have to hold on, Momma? It felt bad.
I wonder who she is.
How could you do that to me, Momma? Didn't I love you enough? You knew what would happen next.
I had Ms.
Marvel's super strength and her ability to fly, permanently.
But that wasn't all.
I also had her mind trapped inside me.
That's when the spells started.
You stole my powers.
You stole my life! (GROANING) Rogue, what's wrong? Nothing, Momma.
I'll be all right.
ROGUE: But I wasn't.
For the second time, I had to leave the place I called home.
And that's when he called out to me.
XAVIER: Mutant.
Mutant.
I feel your pain.
Let me help you.
In order for you to heal, you must forget.
I can't! What's gonna happen to Ms.
Marvel? I'm sorry, Rogue, but I cannot return her to her real body.
For now I can only quiet her, for both your sakes.
That is how I lost you to Xavier.
I swore one day I'd get you back.
Today is that day, my daughter.
You used me! I was just a weapon for you against Ms.
Marvel! What's happening to me? You still have my shape-shifting power.
It will fade soon, but you can't control it.
I'm taking over this mind and this body.
Finally, Ms.
Marvel is reborn! Where's Rogue? Chère! Somebody make her stop! MYSTIQUE: No! Fight her! Storm! STORM: They will not get away! Cyclops, I cannot catch them! JEAN: Don't worry, Storm.
I am monitoring all of you through Cerebro.
You can't catch up with her body, but, with Cerebro's help, I can catch up with her mind.
Rogue, let me inside your mind.
Rogue, where are you? Go away! You have no business here! Let go of her! MS.
MARVEL: I've been waiting a long time for this, sister! This is only happening in my mind.
MS.
MARVEL: That's exactly why it's real.
When I defeat you here, your mind and body will be mine.
You don't understand.
If you destroy her, you're both finished.
Better to have it end like this! You took away everything I had, everything I ever was! ROGUE: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it.
Sorry doesn't give me back my life! This ends now! No! (SCREAMING) No! (GRUNTING) (SOBBING) I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
JEAN: She left you no choice.
(GASPS) JEAN: Jean to Cyclops.
It's over.
Rogue's okay.
What are you doing? Sorry, Mystique.
Use your pitiful tricks on somebody else.
I belong with the X-Men now.
Xavier's gone.
Only I can help you.
Only I could ever help you.
You never loved me.
You only cared about my powers.
You made me worse than a killer! How can you do this to me? I raised you like my own.
I ain't your daughter, Mystique.
Not anymore.
(WHISTLES) Well, look at this.
I hope you dress up for me.
I'd like to sometime, Gambit.
But I'm spending today with an old friend.
A visitor? You know our Jane Doe? Her name is Carol Danvers.
We were very close.
