X-Men (1992) s03e01 Episode Script

(PANTING) DEATHSTRIKE: I want what that creature took from me.
Use the motion trackers to follow him.
(BEEPING) No one steals from Lady Deathstrike and lives.
Callisto! Look! Leech has it.
Well done.
With this device I shall unlock our alien treasure.
I shall have its power, enough to become the true leader of the Morlocks again.
DEATHSTRIKE: Intruders! Stop them, Morlocks.
They must not reach the hidden tunnel.
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS) (ROARS) You cannot have my prize.
I shall be leader again.
No! How How does it work? Help.
Tell me, why should I spare your miserable life, thief? Callisto make Leech steal from your lab.
She think we open buried treasure with it.
Tell me more about this treasure.
Leech don't know more.
The Morlocks can't open it.
(STAMMERING) It's in there.
This treasure had better be worth the trouble you caused me.
(GASPS) (GASPS) A spacecraft.
It must have been buried for centuries.
(WARBLING) Alien writing, strange sounds.
What technology could send a ship across the galaxy? Odd.
I can feel its power.
Perhaps now, after all my work, I shall have the means to exact my revenge.
(SCREAMING) Power! (SCREAMS) (STAMMERING) Incredible power! (SCREAMING) (SCREAMING) (GASPING) Such power.
It's like nothing I've ever sensed before.
I must discover its origin.
(SCREAMING) (PANTING) What happened, Deathstrike? (GASPING) A defensive field around the ship.
It reacted with my cyborg components.
My circuits were on fire.
Then we'll just have to blast our way in.
No.
Fool, you might destroy it.
I pay you to fight, not to think.
The Morlocks were able to touch it.
And my adamantium talons scratched it.
Perhaps what we need is a human with a set of adamantium claws.
-Make your move, hotshot.
-You lost, Wolverine.
Admit it.
(CHUCKLES) Big talk.
Come on.
Go for the hoop, Gumbo.
If you insist.
Hey.
Message coming in.
(BEEPING) JUBILEE: Nobody's picking up.
Looks like we're it.
Hello.
Man, we gotta talk to Storm about who she gives our number to.
Shh! Wolverine! Storm isn't here, Leech.
Don't want to talk to X-Man leader of Morlocks.
Leech got message for Wolverine.
Spit it out.
We were in the middle of a game.
Message is from Yuriko.
Yuriko.
She says tell you she in Morlock tunnels.
(STAMMERING) She needs you.
Come back here, you little sneak thief.
He come now.
You'll see, he come.
-You let me go now? -You did well.
Too bad, your usefulness has ended.
Dispose of this garbage.
No.
No, please.
Leech do what you say.
Wolverine will come.
We must make our preparations.
Who's Yuriko? Somebody I used to know a long time ago.
This whole thing stink.
Why Leech call instead of Callisto? Gambit's nose say it a trap.
-Doesn't matter.
I got to go.
-Wait, we'll go with you.
No way.
This is personal.
Everything personal with that one.
We've got to follow him.
He might need our help.
Wolverine a big boy.
He can take care of himself.
The X-Men are my family now, and members of a family help each other.
I'm going to help Wolverine.
You know he'd help you.
Family, ha! This family nothing but trouble.
(BRAKES SCREECHING) (ALL SCREAMING) (GRUNTING) Wolverine leave his calling card, no? WOLVERINE: Are you really down here, Yuriko? Tell me it is not so, Logan.
Tell me you are not leaving.
I wouldn't go if I didn't have to.
But some guys in Canada need to see me.
They're not the kind of people you say no to.
I am afraid that you will go and I will never see you again.
I promise.
Whatever happens, I'll come back to you.
(SNIFFING) (GUNS FIRING) (GRUNTS) Dr.
Cornelius, how is our patient? DR.
CORNELIUS ON INTERCOM: Could be better, Professor.
He put up some resistance when our boys picked him up last night.
-Is he damaged? -Nothing serious.
Then begin the adamantium feed.
DR.
CORNELIUS: Feed initiated.
Steady Cardiotach higher than expected.
Suffusion enacting.
Cardiotach rising.
Incredible! The feed is impeded.
He's resisting, sir.
Adjust the feed accordingly! DR.
CORNELIUS: Adamantium feed is compensating, but I've never seen anything like this.
PROFESSOR: It appears we chose well, Cornelius.
DR.
CORNELIUS: Adamantium reservoirs drained, sir.
Absorption process complete.
PROFESSOR: And our dear Logan? DR.
CORNELIUS: Why not ask him yourself? A splendid idea.
Logan, can you hear me? (GROWLING) I shall take that as a yes.
Your skeleton has been infused with a rare metal called adamantium.
Fascinating substance, virtually indestructible.
WOLVERINE: Hands Itching Why? What What have What have you done to (SCREAMING) (CONTINUES SCREAMING) Extraordinary.
I never imagined (WOLVERINE ROARING) No! Security! Security, help me! Oh, no.
No, no! (GRUNTING) Yuriko.
Don't be afraid.
I've come back.
(SHOUTING) Where are you, Yuriko? (SOFTLY) Yuriko.
I told you I'd come back.
He's here.
Attack.
But I want him taken alive.
All Reavers, converge on target.
(GROANS) -Wolverine! -You're right, petite.
He need us.
Bushwhacked.
Must be losing it.
(GROANS) (GRUNTING) Watch out! (SCOFFS) They're a bunch of tin cans.
Why don't you give your circus a break? Your trap didn't work.
I'm alive.
Now, where is Yuriko? Here, Logan, or don't you recognize me? Yuriko? I knew you would come back to me.
You promised.
What have you done to yourself? Don't you find me beautiful? I did it for you.
Yuriko.
No.
The Yuriko you knew no longer exists.
I am Lady Deathstrike now, a living weapon of revenge.
(GRUNTS) -Revenge? For what? -For a murder.
For the destruction of my life.
I searched for years for a way to become strong enough to destroy you.
The Reavers offered me an answer, become a cyborg like they are.
I was no longer the Yuriko you knew.
So I decided to change my outer form to match the darkness inside me.
(WHOOSHING) I gave up everything I had been to become what I am now.
Reborn to destroy.
How could you do this? I had no choice over what I became, over what was done to me.
-I did it for Professor Oyama.
-Oyama? The man who The man who designed the adamantium bonding process that made your skeleton possible.
So, what's that got to do with you? He had a daughter whose name was Yuriko Oyama! My father! -Your father? -You destroyed him, an innocent scientist, for what his discovery helped do to you.
And now I will destroy you.
I don't want to hurt you, Yuriko.
The name is Deathstrike.
(SCREAMS) Hurry, petite.
(GRUNTING) Get ready.
I didn't kill him.
(GRUNTS) I loved you once.
Now.
(WEAKLY) Got to get out.
(GROANS WEAKLY) You should have finished me when you had the chance, Wolverine.
I will not be so merciful.
For my father! No, Deathstrike.
He was brought here to open that alien ship.
I don't care.
This is what I want.
(GUNS BEING COCKED) After we get the alien technology, which ought to be worth more than you're paying us, -you can have your revenge after that.
-Very well.
After he's opened the ship, I'll have his adamantium skeleton as a trophy on my wall.
-They've got Wolverine.
-Not yet, little one.
(SPEAKING FRENCH) They are many.
We are two.
We wait for the right moment.
(BOTH GASP) The Morlocks.
It's just like what those guys did to Wolverine.
Come, petite.
We help them later, if we can.
Release him.
(GROANS) (GROGGILY) What happened? Oh, yeah.
I remember.
Now you'll do what I say! Open the alien spacecraft with the claws my father made for you! Open it yourself.
Your end can be quick and easy, or slow and painful.
It's your choice.
(SCREAMING) Destroy him! Sorry, lady.
I don't kill easy.
Now, petite.
(SCREAMS) Get them.
Hey! Don't take it personally.
(GRUNTING) (EXCLAIMS) (DEATHSTRIKE GRUNTING VICIOUSLY) (SCREAMING) Gambit! Hey! Let me go! Keep your computer hands to yourself.
It doesn't have to end this way, Yuriko.
Yuriko is gone.
There is only Deathstrike! (SCREAMING) (GROANING) (SCREAMING) I understand.
A force field.
(BEEPING) It's a warning.
Don't open the ship! Yuriko.
Pull away! (SOBBING) Let her go! (WHOOSHING) What is it, Wolverine? What's happening? I don't think I want to know.
