X-Men (1992) s03e19 Episode Script

You slime-sucking dirtbag.
You've got a lot of guts coming up here, Sabretooth.
That's no way to greet your old partner, runt, after all we've been through.
Logan.
He's crazy What's wrong, punk? (SIGHS IN SATISFACTION) Can't take care of your woman? (GROWLING) You're going to pay for hurting her, Creed.
(SCREAMING) The nightmares and delusions are getting worse! We've got to do something for him! All I have done to help him has collapsed.
Strange, tortuous memories, pouring out, as if a dam had burst.
I (SCREAMING) Professor! Wolverine! - You're mine.
- WOLVERINE: Sabretooth! Logan, stop.
It's Jean! Logan! Check on Scott.
Be careful, Hank.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
Logan.
Logan! Stop! Logan! I fear for what you may do.
Hank? I found this inside an envelope postmarked two weeks ago.
There was no return address.
I've seen this image in his mind.
This must be a clue to his delusions! Maybe it triggered them.
But what about the back of the picture? I'm sure that's where he's gone.
BEAST: Most intriguing.
These coordinates are in southern Canada.
- Go after him, Hank.
- I shall leave at once.
I just pray Wolverine is better prepared for whatever is waiting for him than I.
Somehow, I ain't surprised.
(GROANING) Who's messing with my head? PROFESS OR: Is he damaged? IN TERCO M: Nothing serious.
PROFESSOR: Then begin the adamantium feed.
IN TERCO M: Feed initiated.
Steady.
Cardiotach higher than expected.
(SCREAMING) Extraordinary.
We hope to make use of your gift.
No! Security! Help me! Wolverine, I It's Hank! Wake up! You're having one of your delusions! (SCREAMS) Hank.
I don't know what Calm yourself! I have come to take you home.
Get out of here.
- I will not leave you - I said get out of here! You shouldn't have followed me.
- I'm going nuts! - I cannot let you face this alone.
You must tell me what is going on! I don't know! I've got to figure this out! I don't want to hurt anyone else.
Now something is drawing me back.
BEAST: Do you know this place? I got my bones here.
I got to find out why.
Perhaps not as satisfying, but effective nonetheless.
No! (GROANING) (GUN FIRING) (SCREAMING) Subject taking direction well.
Increase programing.
Logan, can you hear me? (GROANING) Yeah.
What's wrong? You just went into a dream state again.
What did you see? Me, being trained to take people out.
- Our Lotus! - BEAST: The car in the photograph.
Silver Fox.
(TIRES SCREECHING) (SHOUTING) SABRETOOTH: What's wrong, punk? (SIGHS IN SATISFACTION) Can't take care of your woman? (SHOUTING) I should have known.
Why drag me all the way here, runt? I could've sliced you up stateside! (GROWLING) You're gonna pay for hurting her, Creed! - You sent me that photo! - SABRETOOTH: What photo? You little weasel! (GROANING) You can't face me man to man! So you get cue ball Xavier to mess with my head! I fight my own battles! You taught me that you can't count on your friends! I saved both our lives, you (BOTH SCREAMING) We've got the C-synth! SABRETOOTH: Move it, runt! WOLVERINE: Come on, Fox! Let's go! Head for the door! Come on, Fox! Run for it! We'll cover you! Forget it, kid! They're expendable! No! No! Easy, Logan.
Fox, Maverick.
You left them to die! So what! - Traitor! - Coward! Say good night, Creed! (GROANS) WOLVERINE: Silver Fox, Maverick, you're alive! That was only a level three blast, gentlemen.
Believe me, there's nothing I'd rather do than finish both of you right now, but unfortunately that's not an option.
You better do some fast talking! Save it, Creed! I'm not in the mood.
The only reason you're still breathing is so we can get some answers.
It's good to be needed, eh, Logan? SILVER FO X: I hope you enjoyed the photo.
I assume you've been having headaches and nightmares like Maverick and I.
They did something to our minds when we worked here, something code-named "Talos.
" Our pain's not gonna stop until we figure all this out.
So let's try to keep from eviscerating each other until we get the job done.
Welcome, gentlemen.
Welcome to our past.
What is this, Fox? Hoser Hollywood? Take a closer look, Logan.
You remember these places, don't you? Created memories.
But to what purpose? (SCREAMING) (GROANING) WOLVERINE: That's not how it happened! I wasn't kidnapped in a parking lot! (SCREAMING) What happened? Hairy little fireplug can't take it.
What the But That's Home.
(SCREAMING) PROFESSOR: He's no son of mine.
He's some kind of animal.
He's full of wickedness.
That's what it is.
But don't you worry, boy.
Jebediah Creed knows how to get the wickedness out of you! No, please! Please, Pa, not again! I'll be good! (CRYING) I'll be good.
(GROANING) No! Creed! Stop him! Somebody stop him! This is nuts.
Why would somebody want us to remember this like it was all terrible? - Fox.
You okay? - Don't touch me! The cabin.
Was that a lie, too? Fox, what's going on? BEAS T: I think I may have found your answer.
I have located records, a video journal of the experiments carried out here.
Direct your attention to the overhead screens.
Despite initial setbacks, all subjects are responding to the trauma conditioning.
We will be able to reintegrate them into society with no memory that we conditioned them.
When their covert services are needed, they will attack their target and then remember nothing.
The key is to reach the subconscious mind.
The subjects must be repeatedly exposed to a simulation of extreme emotional trauma.
While using psychoactive chemicals, we flood the subjects' minds with false memories.
Overwhelming them.
Breaking them down.
Making them controllable.
The process seems to work best when based on actual life events.
"A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.
" Tennyson.
There's your answer, Fox.
It's all a load of garbage! Our memories are some chrome dome's science project.
Let's find the jerk and do some traumatizing of our own! One moment, Sabretooth.
There's more.
The remarkable tissue regeneration in the subjects code named Wolverine and Sabretooth appears to be genetic.
We believe this healing factor may enable subjects to survive the adamantium bonding process theorized by Professor Oyama.
We will try the process on Wolverine first, then if successful, on Sabretooth.
Well, what do you know.
If the runt hadn't trashed the place, I could've had tin-plated bones, too! You ought to thank me.
That is the final tape.
I've checked this place out, but there's one chamber I can't get into.
That's why I sent for you.
Hmm Adamantium? I held a cutting laser on it for over an hour.
This is all it did.
The thing's got some sort of DNA lock on it.
This is the only way in.
Four panels, four of us.
The answers have got to be in there! Your hypothesis appears correct, Ms.
Fox.
It is a genetic scanner, - but I fail to - Can it, fuzzball! Let's do it! Something is wrong here.
If they were trying to hide the truth from you, why would they place it behind a door only the four of you could open? This whole deal is rotten, Hank.
But whatever's in there, I got to know.
SABRETOOTH: Nothing! Not a blasted thing! Look! Welcome.
I cannot say I'm happy you four are here.
Your presence indicates that you've discovered the truth about your memory therapy.
Conditioning has failed.
When you opened the door, a failsafe program was activated, code named "Talos," which will see to your capture and reprogramming.
Uncontrolled with your true memories returning, you are a threat to our operations.
Mmm.
Looks like we'll get a little action this trip after all.
Hold it, Creed! Let's find out what we're up against! Maverick, scan the area! Blue Boy, get those doors open.
My name is Mr.
McCoy, madam.
Not Blue Boy.
I am Talos.
You are to be reprogrammed.
If you resist, I will terminate you.
Another tin can with an attitude.
- Maverick! Give Sabretooth a blaster.
- You got it.
Keep the robot busy while Wolverine attacks.
Unit in capture mode! If you tough guys have a plan, this would be a real good time to use it! Weaponry at stun level.
Stun? Sorry pal, I play for keeps! MAVERICK: Power source is buried pretty deep.
We have to get a thermite grenade right next to it.
Inside the armor.
I'll dig the hole, you plant the seed.
Unit structurally compromised.
(GROANS) End capture mode.
PROFESS OR: He's no son of mine.
(SCREAMING) Thanks, Mr.
McCoy.
Now, Maverick! Do it! Fire in the hole! Maverick! - Nice suit.
- Thanks.
I'll refer you to my tailor.
WOLVERINE: How's that door coming, Hank? BEAST: I believe I (SIGHS) SABRETOOTH: Well, looky here! I got me a new ashtray! Structural integrity severely compromised.
Activating mnemonic trauma triggers.
(GROANING) My word! TALOS: Primary attack unit now disabled! Activating secondary attack unit.
This could be a problem.
(ENGINE STARTING) I am Talos.
You are to be terminated.
Catch! Oh, dear.
These pyrotechnics are bound to attract unwanted attention.
I suggest we beat a hasty retreat.
I shall prepare the mini jet.
So long, Logan.
It was good to see you.
Yeah, me, too.
Fox, I I don't know what they did to us, to our memories.
But some of you and me must have been true.
You remember the cabin.
I carved our names in that door.
Don't you get it, Logan? It was all made up! The fake cabin in there didn't have any names on the door.
Ours did.
It happened, Fox.
We happened.
Perhaps.
But that was another lifetime.
Goodbye, Logan.
- Mini jet's ready.
Where's Sabretooth? - Don't know and don't care.
Whatever his reasons were, he saved my skin back there.
I think we've both had enough for one day.
What does it all mean, Hank? I came here to find answers, and now I know less than I did before.
I can't even trust my own memories.
I have no simple solution for you, Logan.
Professor Xavier has helped you in the past.
He and the other X-Men are there for you now.
Those are real memories, ones I know you can trust.
Come on now.
Let's go home.
