1. Previously on X-Men.
Copy !req
2. You try to escape,
Copy !req
3. the collars will be
reactivated at once.
Copy !req
4. If you try to remove
your collar, it will explode
Copy !req
5. and destroy you.
Copy !req
6. Now, get to work!
Copy !req
7. Now! Gambit! Jubilee!
Copy !req
8. My powers!
Copy !req
9. The collars you use
Copy !req
10. to control your mutants.
Copy !req
11. They were invented
by a scientist in Scotland.
Copy !req
12. It's him.
Copy !req
13. Who are you?
Copy !req
14. The Wild Man of Borneo.
Copy !req
15. His name is Cable.
Copy !req
16. He was a mercenary
in the Leader's army,
Copy !req
17. until he found out the Leader
wasn't the champion of democracy
Copy !req
18. he claimed to be.
Copy !req
19. So he threw his wages back
in the Leader's face
Copy !req
20. and took to the hills
to start a revolution.
Copy !req
21. See you around.
Copy !req
22. How much is
it worth to you
Copy !req
23. to have that man
Cable eliminated?
Copy !req
24. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
25. Cable lives by his
code, but he will not live long.
Copy !req
26. I should be
frightened, Warren.
Copy !req
27. What do you mean?
Copy !req
28. They say you keep
a mad scientist up here.
Copy !req
29. Dr. Frankenstein, perhaps?
Copy !req
30. His name's Gottfried Adler.
He's an expert on genetics.
Copy !req
31. But he's not here.
Copy !req
32. I sent him to Scotland
to do research.
Copy !req
33. We're alone, then.
Copy !req
34. I'd better take you home.
Copy !req
35. Why must you
always push me away?
Copy !req
36. You wouldn't want
to get close to me.
Copy !req
37. Not if you knew
what I was really like.
Copy !req
38. Aah!
Copy !req
39. Are you Adler?
Copy !req
40. I'm Warren Worthington III.
Who are you?
Copy !req
41. Next time you take a shot at
somebody, make sure you hit him.
Copy !req
42. I'll remember that.
Copy !req
43. You got a short memory.
Copy !req
44. Warren?
Copy !req
45. Pal, you picked the wrong chalet
to terrorize.
Copy !req
46. What's going on? Warren?
Are you all right?
Copy !req
47. What? Where's Warren?
Copy !req
48. He's all right.
Copy !req
49. My weapon's set to stun.
Where's Adler?
Copy !req
50. He's... he's gone to Scotland.
Copy !req
51. Scotland?
You mean Muir Island.
Copy !req
52. Get down!
Copy !req
53. Warren!
Copy !req
54. Warren's gone.
Copy !req
55. Don't!
Copy !req
56. No. I didn't mean to.
Copy !req
57. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
58. You created
the Center for Mutant Research,
my dear Moira.
Copy !req
59. Can't you demand
to review Dr. Adler's work?
Copy !req
60. Aye, I would if I could.
Copy !req
61. But he's not really
part of the Center.
Copy !req
62. He pays me well for everything.
Copy !req
63. His one request
was to be left alone.
Copy !req
64. Then you don't know if he
really can reverse mutations.
Copy !req
65. Dr. Adler?
It's Moira McTaggart.
Copy !req
66. I've an old friend here
who's interested in your work.
Copy !req
67. Professor Xavier from America.
Copy !req
68. Visitors are verboten,
not allowed.
Copy !req
69. You promised no interference.
Copy !req
70. Xavier?
Copy !req
71. I tried to probe his mind,
but some force
came between us.
Copy !req
72. Do you think Adler
could be a mutant himself?
Copy !req
73. Well, now, that would explain
why he's after a cure.
Copy !req
74. Don't say cure, Moira.
Copy !req
75. Being a mutant isn't a disease.
Copy !req
76. It's something you're born with.
Copy !req
77. It's as normal as being
a traditional Homo sapien.
Copy !req
78. Not all mutants
would agree with you.
Copy !req
79. What do your X-Men say?
Copy !req
80. I don't know. I haven't told
them about Adler's discovery.
Copy !req
81. But it's time I did.
Copy !req
82. That old boy Juggernaut
sure made a mess
Copy !req
83. about like that Yankee general,
Sherman.
Copy !req
84. Keep an eye on me, Gambit.
You might learn something.
Copy !req
85. Let me put some nails
in that for you, Jean.
Copy !req
86. I always did like
working with my hands.
Copy !req
87. I like to work with my mind.
Copy !req
88. That mortar looks
a little thick, Storm.
Copy !req
89. Better add some water.
Copy !req
90. Big expert.
Always giving orders.
Copy !req
91. Making up for your
screw-ups, gumbo.
Copy !req
92. Too bad you don't know
how to do anything
Copy !req
93. but pick pockets
and steal candy from babies.
Copy !req
94. Look out!
Copy !req
95. Gambit! What do you
think you're doing?
Copy !req
96. He better be more careful
with his mouth.
Copy !req
97. You better stop
worrying about my mouth
Copy !req
98. and start worrying about these!
Copy !req
99. Why don't you boys calm down?
Copy !req
100. You afraid I'm gonna hurt him?
Copy !req
101. I always thought you had
a soft spot for that Cajun.
Copy !req
102. About as soft as you, fat-head.
Copy !req
103. You gonna shut up, or am I gonna
have to help you?
Copy !req
104. Hey, everybody!
Guess who wants to talk to us?
Copy !req
105. Dr. Adler claims his process
can reverse genetic mutations
Copy !req
106. within each cell of the body.
Copy !req
107. What?
Copy !req
108. You mean steal our powers?
Copy !req
109. It could be used
as a weapon against us,
Copy !req
110. but some mutants might welcome
the chance to become normal.
Copy !req
111. Yeah? Who?
Copy !req
112. There's no right or wrong
Copy !req
113. in choosing to remain a mutant.
Copy !req
114. You have taught us to value
our powers, Professor,
Copy !req
115. not for their own sake,
Copy !req
116. but for what they can do
for others.
Copy !req
117. You tell 'em, Storm.
No deserters in this crowd.
Copy !req
118. Each of us will have
to make his own decision
Copy !req
119. if Adler's process
really works.
Copy !req
120. I'm worried about Rogue,
Cyclops.
Copy !req
121. Rogue? Why?
Copy !req
122. Because I know how she feels
when I touch your hand
Copy !req
123. or when we kiss.
Copy !req
124. Because I sense her pain.
Copy !req
125. Vacation, huh?
Copy !req
126. Muir Island's no good for you.
Copy !req
127. How about we go to Paris
instead?
Copy !req
128. How about getting
your butt out of my car?
Copy !req
129. Let's have a kiss
before you go, huh?
Copy !req
130. What's wrong, chere?
Copy !req
131. You know what happens
when I touch somebody!
Copy !req
132. You wanna end up
in the hospital?
Copy !req
133. Maybe it's worth it, no?
Copy !req
134. Where you going,
Rogue? Where you going?
Copy !req
135. What the—
Copy !req
136. Muir Island.
What a dump.
Copy !req
137. This friend of yours
better show up soon,
Copy !req
138. or I'm going back to jail,
Copy !req
139. just for something to do.
Copy !req
140. Are we becoming
impatient, old stick?
Copy !req
141. The name's Avalanche, limey, and
what we're becoming is broke.
Copy !req
142. This scam of hers
better pay off big.
Copy !req
143. That could be Mystique now.
Copy !req
144. What do you mean "could be"?
Copy !req
145. Don't you know
what she looks like?
Copy !req
146. She's a shape-changer, old man.
One can never be sure.
Copy !req
147. Looking for me, love?
Copy !req
148. I sincerely doubt it, unless
your name's Gottfried Adler.
Copy !req
149. Alas, no.
Copy !req
150. They call me Pyro.
Copy !req
151. In the mood for a hot date?
Copy !req
152. In a bull's-eye.
Copy !req
153. How about trying that with me?
Copy !req
154. Well, all right, hon,
since you asked me nice.
Copy !req
155. Pyro!
Copy !req
156. Where'd he go?
Copy !req
157. Hello? Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
158. Visitors are verboten.
Copy !req
159. I didn't fly across
the whole danged ocean
Copy !req
160. to take no for an answer.
Copy !req
161. What do you want?
Copy !req
162. I hear you can
change people, Doctor.
Copy !req
163. Change them, so they won't
be mutants anymore.
Copy !req
164. You make me like other people,
Copy !req
165. and you can name your own price.
Copy !req
166. You have great strength
as well as great beauty.
Copy !req
167. Why do you wish
to become merely normal?
Copy !req
168. Because I don't wanna
live my whole life
Copy !req
169. without knowing what it's like
to touch another human being.
Copy !req
170. I will consider your request.
Copy !req
171. Come back in one hour.
Copy !req
172. I will have an answer
for you then.
Copy !req
173. Apocalypse!
Copy !req
174. You heard what she wanted?
Copy !req
175. Yes.
Copy !req
176. Like all people, she is a fool,
Copy !req
177. but she has great powers.
Copy !req
178. You will use the machine
and make her my slave.
Copy !req
179. You have taught us
to value our powers.
Copy !req
180. Value our powers.
Copy !req
181. The moon sure is pretty tonight.
Copy !req
182. You ever been kissed, girl?
Copy !req
183. I'm beginning to think
I never will be,
Copy !req
184. the way you keep going on
about the moon.
Copy !req
185. Cody!
Copy !req
186. Cody. Cody...
Copy !req
187. Avalanche!
Copy !req
188. Avalanche!
Copy !req
189. Hello. You aren't Avalanche.
Copy !req
190. I'm looking for Gottfried Adler.
Copy !req
191. Well, of course you are,
old darling.
Copy !req
192. He's such a popular fellow.
Copy !req
193. Don't call me "darling."
Copy !req
194. What did you do, fall in?
Copy !req
195. Never mind.
Copy !req
196. I've found our pot of gold.
Copy !req
197. There seems to be
a local scientist
Copy !req
198. who's in big demand these days.
Copy !req
199. As soon as I've dried off,
Copy !req
200. we shall arrange
a disappearance.
Copy !req
201. And my dear friend
Mystique need never know.
Copy !req
202. Your whole life will change
after the treatment.
Copy !req
203. Believe me.
Copy !req
204. That's what I'm here for, Doc.
Copy !req
205. It may be unpleasant at first,
Copy !req
206. but then you will feel nothing.
Copy !req
207. Well done, old bean.
Copy !req
208. Y'all looking for a rematch?
Copy !req
209. Perhaps another time.
Copy !req
210. - Bag the good doctor.
- Right.
Copy !req
211. You are making
a terrible mistake.
Copy !req
212. Adler.
Copy !req
213. Those boys are making me mad.
Copy !req
214. Dr. Adler!
Copy !req
215. I heard a loud crash, Moira.
What's going on?
Copy !req
216. I do not know.
Copy !req
217. How about you carrying him
for a while?
Copy !req
218. Shall we make him walk?
Copy !req
219. Listen, old man... Blimey!
Copy !req
220. He's a woman.
Copy !req
221. He's Mystique.
Copy !req
222. And you're a fool, Pyro.
I asked you to come here
Copy !req
223. because I thought Apocalypse
might find some use for you.
Copy !req
224. Who's Apocalypse?
Copy !req
225. Haven't the foggiest.
Copy !req
226. He's my master,
Copy !req
227. and he'll crush you
like an insect
Copy !req
228. if you interfere again!
Copy !req
229. So your machine
doesn't cure mutants.
Copy !req
230. It turns them
into slaves of Apocalypse.
Copy !req
231. You mean you just made up
this guy Adler?
Copy !req
232. He was real enough
until he met Apocalypse.
Copy !req
233. Personally, I find this
frightfully confusing.
Copy !req
234. Y'all get away from him,
Copy !req
235. It gets worse.
Copy !req
236. or you'll need
a doctor sure enough.
Copy !req
237. I never could say
no to a woman.
Copy !req
238. Back off, firefly.
I need that guy.
Copy !req
239. Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
240. Dr. Adler, I presume.
Copy !req
241. What the devil
could have happened here?
Copy !req
242. It appears that Dr. Adler
has been kidnapped.
Copy !req
243. Professor Xavier.
Copy !req
244. Cyclops, Jean,
what are you doing here?
Copy !req
245. Rogue's disappeared, Professor.
Copy !req
246. I believe she has come here
to see Dr. Adler
Copy !req
247. to undergo his treatment.
Copy !req
248. If she has, she may be in danger
Copy !req
249. of losing more
than her mutant powers.
Copy !req
250. Listen, old girl,
must we do this?
Copy !req
251. I think we're all making
a terrible mistake!
Copy !req
252. Dr. Adler?
Copy !req
253. Who are you?
Copy !req
254. The name's Cable.
Last known address, Genosha.
Copy !req
255. They used to turn mutants
into slaves down there.
Copy !req
256. I have never heard of it.
Copy !req
257. They did it with collars
that suppressed mutant powers.
Copy !req
258. Collars you made.
Copy !req
259. That makes you
a dangerous man.
Copy !req
260. Too dangerous to live.
Copy !req
261. Get away
from that man!
Copy !req
262. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
263. Making the world
safer for mutants.
Copy !req
264. Plasma grenade.
Copy !req
265. You are making
a terrible mistake.
Copy !req
266. Dr. Adler is already dead.
Copy !req
267. That's kind of hard to believe,
coming from you.
Copy !req
268. Do you believe me now?
Copy !req
269. There's Adler.
Copy !req
270. Drop the weapon.
Copy !req
271. No.
Copy !req
272. Look out, y'all!
Copy !req
273. - No!
Jean!
Copy !req
274. You all right, hon?
Copy !req
275. Just bruised, thanks to you.
What about him?
Copy !req
276. Whoever he was, it's too late
to help him now.
Copy !req
277. A most extraordinary
young woman.
Copy !req
278. Thank you, Rogue.
Copy !req
279. You don't know how much
this means to me.
Copy !req
280. But I thought you
wanted to be cured.
Copy !req
281. That's what I thought, too, Doc.
Copy !req
282. But there ain't
no cure for who you are.
Copy !req
283. Then you must live forever
Copy !req
284. in the prison
of your mutant powers.
Copy !req
285. I am my powers,
and the good they can do
Copy !req
286. for my friends
and for the whole world.
Copy !req
287. I reckon maybe
I can live with that after all.
Copy !req
288. Thanks anyway, Doc.
Copy !req
289. - Look out!
- Look out yourself!
Copy !req
290. How do you fly without wings?
Copy !req
291. I don't know. I just do.
Copy !req
292. You're lucky.
Copy !req
293. Yeah. Lucky.
Copy !req
294. I came here to warn you, Doctor.
But it looks like I'm too late.
Copy !req
295. Why did you not tell me
you are a mutant?
Copy !req
296. Why do you think I've supported
your research?
Copy !req
297. You wish to be changed?
Copy !req
298. Is the treatment ready?
Copy !req
299. Apocalypse.
Copy !req
300. Apocalypse!
Copy !req
301. I've found another mutant
to become your slave.
Copy !req
302. The millionaire,
Warren Worthington,
Copy !req
303. with the wings of an angel.
Copy !req
304. How did you know
he was a mutant?
Copy !req
305. I know more of this world
than you have even dreamed.
Copy !req
306. That is why I must destroy it.
Copy !req
