X-Men (1992) s04e13 Episode Script

- What is it you fear? - WOLVERINE: Myself.
It's like I don't know who I am any more.
- Why now? - I don't know.
If I knew, I'd handle it.
Is it because of Proteus? Don't make me bust you up.
Hey! Stop it! Make it stop! No! No more! (SCREAMING) (SOBBING) No, I worked through that.
Did the revelation of your Weapon X brainwashing distress you? SCIENTIST: 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.
The key is to reach the subconscious mind.
When their covert services are needed, they will attack their target and then remember nothing.
WOLVERINE: I got a lot of memories, Doc.
So what if a few of them ain't real? (GROWLING) What's wrong, punk? Can't take care of your woman? Your woman Your woman Is it about Jean? You can't have her! (GRUNTING) Jean.
Wolverine.
No, she's happy.
I love her enough to want her to stay that way.
When you first came here, you were wild and confused, out of control.
(GROWLING) You learned to harness your rage, as you found a home here.
Yet I sense you are no happier.
What are you afraid that you will do? When I used to go berserk, I was an animal.
I had no direction, no purpose.
You and the others gave me a reason to fight, or back off.
- It's not there any more.
- Logan! Consider what you're saying.
I wanted to waste a kid today! For cutting me off in traffic! (TIRES SQUEALING) I even came close to hurting Jubilee! And it didn't bother me.
I didn't care, Professor.
Even animals care about each other.
I don't know what's missing inside.
I got no idea how I lost it.
But there's one place I might be able to get it back.
I'm going to Japan.
I'm leaving the X-Men.
(TAXI HORN HONKING) Open your heart, Herr Logan.
Would it hurt so much to see the world through different eyes? Wish I could, pal.
(LAUGHING) But my eyes see me too well.
Your taxi's here.
- Why do you have to leave? - Don't you get it? I didn't care what happened to that kid! I didn't care what happened to you! The professor helped you before.
He'll do it again! We'll all help! Thanks, kid.
But right now, I'm not fit to be one of the X-Men.
WOLVERINE: There's a place I was happy once.
A simple world, where I knew how to live.
Maybe I can find what I'm looking for there.
OKU: Yokoso, Logan-san.
Though many years have passed, I have been expecting your return.
Domo, Master Oku.
I see you're not done with your new temple.
We do what we can.
Using those tools, you're gonna be doing it for a long time.
We have nowhere to go.
There is no hurry.
Feels like I've been in a hurry ever since I left Japan.
- Mind if I pick up where I left off? - It would be an honor.
(GRUNTING) Perhaps building the temple will aid you in rebuilding your soul.
(BELL RINGING) - The workday is over.
- I ain't tired.
The villagers have prepared a feast tonight.
It would dishonor them to keep them waiting.
They don't seem too friendly.
What, did I step on a duck? They are curious, Logan-san.
You are different.
This is Logan-san.
He works with us building the temple.
Logan, this is Yoshida-san, the village elder.
We have seen you working at the temple.
If Master Oku has welcomed you, we can do no less.
Kisara! Show Logan-san to the table.
Konichiwa, Logan-san.
My name is Kisara.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE) (ENGINE REVVING) - Who's Evel Knievel? - He is my brother, Soichi.
- He has a wild spirit.
- My condolences.
You should have been with the fishing fleet this morning.
I have been training the few who have the courage to fight our enemies! You know this is forbidden! We will do what we have always done.
- We will pay.
- No! This time we Show some respect for your elders, kid.
I only respect those who earn it! You're right, kid.
I was wrong to interfere.
Coward! Go back to the temple and hide from the world! It is often the braver man who chooses not to fight.
JUBILEE: Dear Professor Xavier, I don't know why Wolverine left.
But I know he's unhappy and he's alone.
I peeked at his personal file and it took a while, but I think I know where he went in Japan.
I have to try to help him, or I'd never forgive myself.
I know you'll understand.
(GRUNTING) We need more timbers for the temple roof, Logan-san.
I will get them, Master Oku.
- Do you not need a saw? - And spoil the fun? Timber! Dareda, mutant.
What are you doing here? The name's Logan, and I'm cutting trees.
(SPEAKING JAPANESE) I am called Silver Samurai.
The people of this province know to fear me.
Perhaps I will learn, too.
Let me give you some advice, gaijin.
Stay out of matters that do not concern you.
Not that it's any of your business, but that's just what I had in mind.
An excellent decision.
May you live to benefit from it.
Somehow I don't think he's local.
(MOTORC YCLES APPROACHING) We are here to remind you that the tribute you owe Silver Samurai is due in three days.
It has been a bad year for our village.
We can scarcely feed ourselves.
(CHUCKLES) Silver Samurai cannot eat your excuses.
- Have the tribute ready in three days! - No! The thieving will stop! We will not pay your extortion! - Soichi! - Peasant! You will pay dearly for that! No, Takaki.
We do not need a martyr.
You disappoint me, Yoshida.
You should have better control of your villagers.
We return in two days, and the payment will be doubled.
Leave them a reminder.
Smoke, coming from the temple! Master Oku is trapped inside! Master Oku! Master Oku.
I hope you're not upset if we don't stick around to chat.
Is Master Oku all right? How did this happen? Each year the Silver Samurai demands tribute from all the villagers.
- Lf we do not pay - I get the picture.
The old protection racket, samurai style.
This year we have no money to pay.
We are fishermen.
They will destroy our village! It never ends.
Logan-san, you must help.
Soichi is trying to organize the people to fight the bandits.
Dameda, Kisara.
I'm sorry.
I came to find myself, not to fight.
But the villagers are not trained as fighters.
- We have no weapons.
- What would Master Oku say, Kisara? He would say that no worldly possession are worth the risk of one's life.
So tell that to the villagers.
But Master Oku would also say that inner peace is found, not by avoiding conflict, but in serving your true nature.
My true nature.
Huh, I wish I knew what that was.
Wolverine.
You sure you haven't seen him? He used to hang out here with an Oku guy.
Great.
And, if the fishmongers dare to fight back, destroy them! (ALL CHEERING) One small village, what does it matter? Each village that fears us is a link in the chain that keeps them under our control.
If one resists, the chain is broken.
Better to crush one village, to set an example, than let the chain be broken.
Silver Samurai is evil! This time, we fight back! This is foolish, Soichi! We are farmers and fishermen, no match for armed fighters! Better to die defending ourselves than to live in fear! Since I was a child, I have watched our people work hard, only to have these criminals take what little we earned! Our children shall not suffer as we have! Go back and hide with the monks, gaijin.
I don't hide from anybody, kid.
I'm fighting my own battle right now.
But you're right.
Either you stand and fight, or you'll be kissing their backsides forever.
- Okay! No more tribute! We will fight! - Is this how you repay us? By helping bring destruction to our village? - No more tribute! - VILLAGER 1: No more tribute! VILLAGER 1: No more tribute! VILLAGER 2: No more tribute! You are trying to decide how to act tomorrow.
They're gonna be slaughtered, Master Oku.
- Possibly.
- I came here to get away from fighting! I want to be like you! I just want to live in peace! Do you? Peace comes with purpose.
My faith gives me mine.
Ripping up people is no purpose! But protecting and caring for people is.
Like many, perhaps you see yourself less well than others see you.
Try looking at yourself through new eyes.
Master Oku, I want to so much, I (WA TER BUBBLIN G) S CIEN TIS T 1: Begin the adamantium feed.
S CIEN TIS T 2: Adamantium reservoir is drained, sir.
Absorption process complete.
I am afraid that you will go, and I will never see you again.
I promise, whatever happens, I'll come back to you.
It doesn't have to end this way, Yuriko! Yuriko is gone! There is only Deathstrike! (EX CLAIMS) We used to be old pals, even work together.
But we had some little misunderstandings.
Yeah, right.
He wasted some friends of mine, for no reason.
WOLVERINE: And I misunderstood.
Come on, pops.
Let's go! Run for it! Forget it, kid, you're expendable! No! Open your heart, Herr Logan.
Would it hurt so much to see the world through different eyes? WOLVERINE: No! I am not an animal! KISARA: Look deeper, Logan-san.
You are only yourself, no one else.
They are coming! Those pig farmers will pay for this! That way! (SCREAMING) (ALL EX CLAIMING) There they are! Get them! Gentlemen! The children will not hurt you.
OKU: Perhaps you mighty warriors wish to attack me instead! - Oku! Don't! - Out of the way, old man! Don't touch him! (ALL EX CLAIMING) (ALL SCREAMING) - Are you hurt? - No, Logan-san.
- What are you doing here? - We all fight in our own way.
It seems you have rediscovered yours.
The cowards have fled! Rip the place apart! Take everything you can carry! (MAN EX CLAIMING) There, on the beach! Get them! (ENGINES REVVING) (ALL GASPING) (VILLAGERS LAUGHING) JUBILEE: Leave them alone! Everybody's fighting! Logan's got to be here! If you are his friend, come with us! He needs our help! Don't have to ask me twice! No matter! We can still defeat these ignorant peasants.
(EX CLAIMS) (GRUNTS) (PIG GRUNTING) Here is the mighty bandit we have feared! Even the pigs turn up their noses at him! You will laugh no more, peasant! (EX CLAIMS) Can you do as well against the Silver Samurai, boy? You're fighting the wrong guy, pretty boy.
You're looking for me.
(WOLVERINE EX CLAIMS) I will destroy you, gaijin! Control yourself, Logan.
Use your head for a change.
This guy likes to come at me from behind.
What? (SCREAMING) Just trying out one of your tricks, tin man.
WOLVERINE: Works pretty good.
- Finish him, Logan-san! - I ought to, he's earned it.
But there's no need for that now, kid.
You stood up to him.
He won't bother this village again, or any other.
- JUBILEE: Hey, Wolverine! - What? This one helped us.
She says she is your friend, Logan-san.
Jubilee! I heard there was a former X-Man in the neighborhood.
Guess I felt I had something to do with him going.
My leaving was never your fault, kid.
It was just something I had to do.
You see, Logan-san.
The temple will be completed without you.
I know.
Temple-building ain't my job.
We all fight in our own way.
- Arigato, Logan-san.
- No need, kid.
Arigato, Logan-san.
- For everything.
- No, Kisara.
Thank you.
So, what did I miss? Who were the biker boys and the big doofus with the shiny metal outfit? And who's the babe? Sounds like you two got pretty friendly.
Do you know what a tough time I had trying to find you? Nobody speaks English.
You'd think they'd notice a guy with big claws.
And, wait, who's the Oku guy again? And, wait, who's the Oku guy again?
