1. Previously on X-Men...Copy !req
2. Mister Sinister!Copy !req
3. You want our son. Nathan!Copy !req
4. It's a Techno-Organic Virus strain,Copy !req
5. and the virus
is already spreading rapidly.Copy !req
6. What if there's a cure
in yours, Bishop?Copy !req
7. This band only got enough juice
for Nathan and I.Copy !req
8. Meaning we can't go with you.Copy !req
9. My next life will be mine.Copy !req
10. Take care, Jean.Copy !req
11. Call me Madelyne Pryor.Copy !req
12. Charles Xavier entrusted me
with his dream,Copy !req
13. and it does not ask you to love
or embrace my kind as your own,Copy !req
14. but merely to accept
that this is a shared worldCopy !req
15. and that my kind
have the right to live in it.Copy !req
16. We will begin talks to admit
the mutant nation of GenoshaCopy !req
17. into the United Nations.Copy !req
18. Maybe we should take a page
from the Professor's playbookCopy !req
19. and give Erik a second shot.Copy !req
20. Do you think your team
would still trust you if they knew?Copy !req
21. Was it caused by atomic testing?Copy !req
22. Or is it nature herself,Copy !req
23. deciding the time has come
to change the human race?Copy !req
24. Some say they're freaks,Copy !req
25. some call them monsters,Copy !req
26. but all over the planet,
they are known as mutants.Copy !req
27. We prefer to see it as a world
that misunderstands us.Copy !req
28. Fortunately,Copy !req
29. helping us build those bridges
is a journalist as esteemed as yourself.Copy !req
30. Well, I am just as flatteredCopy !req
31. to be sitting with a renowned scientist
such as yourself, Doctor McCoy.Copy !req
32. Blue blushes, too, my dear.Copy !req
33. Here in Westchester CountyCopy !req
34. sits an unassuming English estate,Copy !req
35. the X-Men's home.Copy !req
36. A school for mutants,Copy !req
37. founded by the late
Professor Charles Xavier.Copy !req
38. Not like regular boring classes.Copy !req
39. More hands-on learning, you know?Copy !req
40. But with big death machines
and vampire dinosaurs.Copy !req
41. For many of the X-Men,Copy !req
42. Xavier's school
is the only home they've ever known.Copy !req
43. People who have fallen through the cracks.Copy !req
44. Forgotten.Copy !req
45. Desperate to belong.Copy !req
46. But that sense of belonging
goes worldwide today,Copy !req
47. as the UN formally admits
the mutant nation of Genosha.Copy !req
48. This is taking forever.Copy !req
49. Gambit, please rememberCopy !req
50. that should the new Blackbird
suffer a malfunction,Copy !req
51. you are the only soul on boardCopy !req
52. for whom gravity
would most certainly be an issue.Copy !req
53. Can it, you roosters.Copy !req
54. Look-y ahead.Copy !req
55. Ki-yay!Copy !req
56. They be busy doing a bit of renovating
since Gambit's last visit.Copy !req
57. Whoa!Copy !req
58. We have to stop
at my favorite stall for a—Copy !req
59. Is that the X-Men?Copy !req
60. My friends!Copy !req
61. Well, would you look at you, girl!Copy !req
62. Lot of smiles at the mansion
when we heard Madelyne PryorCopy !req
63. scored a top spot among Genosha's brass.Copy !req
64. The Interim Council wanted an X-Man.Copy !req
65. Luckily, you guys could spare a Jean.Copy !req
66. Hush, madame.Copy !req
67. Two always better than one.Copy !req
68. And far better than three.Copy !req
69. Most times.Copy !req
70. Forgive Gambit's passive adolescence.Copy !req
71. He insisted on coming
after Rogue agreed to join me at the gala.Copy !req
72. I confess, the master of magnetism
was surprisedCopy !req
73. to receive an invite
bearing the United Nations' seal.Copy !req
74. Yeah, I hear it's called "the future."Copy !req
75. Magneto, the Interim Council
would love a word with youCopy !req
76. before tonight's gala.Copy !req
77. Privately, if possible.Copy !req
78. Hmm. So where the heck does that leave us?Copy !req
79. - Ha-ha!
- Dang!Copy !req
80. I'll be a wet bird on a live wire.Copy !req
81. Kurt Wagner, how the heck are ya, furball?Copy !req
82. We shall play tourist
as the Council speaks with Magneto.Copy !req
83. Kurt joined the CouncilCopy !req
84. to help work with Genosha's
various communities of faith.Copy !req
85. Things to see!Copy !req
86. Such wonders in this city.Copy !req
87. Long as he left those faithful
killer monks of his back at the monastery.Copy !req
88. Ah, a scimitar tongue, Gambit,Copy !req
89. you remain as always.Copy !req
90. We have much to discuss
since our gothic adventure amid the Alps.Copy !req
91. Come.Copy !req
92. Everything around us
would not have been possibleCopy !req
93. without the work of the X-Men.Copy !req
94. Oh, my!Copy !req
95. It's just like he said it'd be.Copy !req
96. Who? The Professor?Copy !req
97. Uh, yeah, sure.Copy !req
98. Always used to say
we'd have a place all our own one day.Copy !req
99. More than a place.Copy !req
100. A home.Copy !req
101. Daddy's charging pretty high rent.Copy !req
102. Birthing a nation overnight
is not without its share of stumbles.Copy !req
103. Ignore him.Copy !req
104. Fly can't help but ruin honey.Copy !req
105. Or maybe Gambit's willing to ask questions
no one else will.Copy !req
106. Like, why is Magneto suddenly mutant MVP?Copy !req
107. For a man named Gambit,
your poker face is very poor.Copy !req
108. Hey, mind your beeswax, furball.Copy !req
109. Didn't go ringing for no priest.Copy !req
110. It does not take a priest to see you
and Rogue's souls touch in every gaze.Copy !req
111. Ain't the touch
she be looking for.Copy !req
112. You Americans.
So theatrical.Copy !req
113. Life is violins und close-ups.Copy !req
114. I blame soap operas.Copy !req
115. Just marry the belle and be done.Copy !req
116. Scoundrels like me,
we don't get no white picket reward.Copy !req
117. We too busy for love.Copy !req
118. Too busy sinning.Copy !req
119. There is no love without sin.Copy !req
120. For love is best measured
in what we forgive.Copy !req
121. I am here with Scott Summers,Copy !req
122. also known as Cyclops.Copy !req
123. Scott, are you surprised
to see such a bold move in world politics?Copy !req
124. Well, if being an X-Man
teaches anything, Ms. Tilby,Copy !req
125. it's to expect the unexpected.Copy !req
126. I always kept that in mind
as field leader...Copy !req
127. Those shades
are weirding out the lights.Copy !req
128. Can you take 'em off?Copy !req
129. I can't. Sorry.Copy !req
130. So, back as team leader...Copy !req
131. Actually, let's talk about you
and Marvel Girl.Copy !req
132. I hear you're the X-Men's power couple.Copy !req
133. A love that spans galaxies.Copy !req
134. So I have to ask,
when did you know she was the one?Copy !req
135. You're skipping the questions, too?Copy !req
136. Hard to interview someoneCopy !req
137. who can't tell which parts
of her memories belong to herCopy !req
138. and which parts belong to her clone.Copy !req
139. Even reacquainting myself
with my psychic powers feelsCopy !req
140. strange.Copy !req
141. Like the face of an old friend
seen from every angleCopy !req
142. but the one in your memory.Copy !req
143. This busted mug
ain't changed in a hundred years,Copy !req
144. and you know it.Copy !req
145. I remember so many things.Copy !req
146. So many with Scott.Copy !req
147. You two lovebirds still ain't talking?Copy !req
148. He's grieving his son.Copy !req
149. Although, the way he's avoiding me
recalls a time.Copy !req
150. We were in Nevada.Copy !req
151. I had just acquired the power
of a cosmic entity.Copy !req
152. The Phoenix.Copy !req
153. Oh, right. You were there.Copy !req
154. I asked Scott to go on a picnic at sunset.Copy !req
155. She seemed nervous
when I asked her to go out.Copy !req
156. Like she didn't trust me.Copy !req
157. He was scared.Copy !req
158. Afraid the Phoenix had changed me.Copy !req
159. I wanted to reassure him.Copy !req
160. I wanted to show her
that nothing had changed.Copy !req
161. She was still the hothead
who knocked my books out of my handCopy !req
162. when I ran into her
on the first day of school.Copy !req
163. But I could already
feel the universe speaking to me.Copy !req
164. Much like Scott used to
through our special psychic rapport.Copy !req
165. She snaps at me,Copy !req
166. and then she takes off my ruby glasses,
which hold back my powers.Copy !req
167. I needed to anchor myselfCopy !req
168. because every fiber of me
hungered to leaveCopy !req
169. and travel the cosmos right then.Copy !req
170. And nothing happened.Copy !req
171. Jean was using the power of the Phoenix
to block my optic blasts,Copy !req
172. and we could see each other's eyes.Copy !req
173. They anchored me.Copy !req
174. Focused me.Copy !req
175. His eyes made me stay.Copy !req
176. Now...Copy !req
177. I know all about drowning in memories.Copy !req
178. Best to look up and keep paddling.Copy !req
179. Keep moving, 'cause the past'll
yank ya under if ya don't.Copy !req
180. I forget how many sunrises
your eyes have seen.Copy !req
181. They only ever seen one of you, Red.Copy !req
182. Just the one.Copy !req
183. Logan,Copy !req
184. - I'm...
- You're Jean Grey.Copy !req
185. He's Scott Summers.Copy !req
186. Those are the rules.Copy !req
187. You just forgot 'em for a sec.Copy !req
188. Enough said.Copy !req
189. Now go talk to that overgrown Boy Scout.Copy !req
190. Now, the latest adventure, parenthood.Copy !req
191. Jean...Copy !req
192. Jean and I don't have any kids.Copy !req
193. You don't?Copy !req
194. No.Copy !req
195. Strange.Copy !req
196. I saw hospital records
for one Nathan Charles Summers,Copy !req
197. born to Scott and Jean Grey Summers
just last month.Copy !req
198. Born at Westchester Memorial?Copy !req
199. I spoke to a Dr. Brians there.Copy !req
200. He said you told your teammate,
told Rogue...Copy !req
201. That jerk wouldn't deliver my...Copy !req
202. He called my kid a freak.Copy !req
203. Scott, I came here today
to give the X-Men a chanceCopy !req
204. to show the world
that mutants are just like us, people.Copy !req
205. Normal.Copy !req
206. And you lie.Copy !req
207. Why lie?Copy !req
208. Because you're normal.Copy !req
209. Excuse me?Copy !req
210. I said, because you're normal.Copy !req
211. You're ungrateful.Copy !req
212. We fight, risk our lives for you.Copy !req
213. Evil mutants, robots, crazy aliens.Copy !req
214. I gave him up.Copy !req
215. I gave him up
because you can't say thank you.Copy !req
216. Because I have to stomach your questions
and prove that I'm a person.Copy !req
217. I lie because the truth is
we're nothing like you.Copy !req
218. Thank God, because it's the only reason
you people are still alive.Copy !req
219. Recent events have aligned themselvesCopy !req
220. in an unprecedented fashion for our kind.Copy !req
221. With even the most overlooked of us
finally getting a voice.Copy !req
222. We need to be thinking about
how to speak loudlyCopy !req
223. as one united community.Copy !req
224. This concerns me and my X-Men, how?Copy !req
225. We need a handsome jawline
that begs trust and respect.Copy !req
226. A poster child king.Copy !req
227. Careful, Ms. Frost.Copy !req
228. Don't go filling this man's head
with such notions.Copy !req
229. Whose charitable idea was it
to let a human be on the Council?Copy !req
230. Were no others available
to weep over semantics?Copy !req
231. Moira's a fierce ally to mutants.Copy !req
232. And we all agreed
on the title of Chancellor.Copy !req
233. You eclectic allotment
of social climbersCopy !req
234. wish for me to rule Genosha?Copy !req
235. Hilarious.Copy !req
236. One could argue, and many sadly do,Copy !req
237. that none of us would be here todayCopy !req
238. were it not for you
and your publicity stunt.Copy !req
239. Are there no others better temperedCopy !req
240. to stomach the squabble
of human diplomacy?Copy !req
241. But Charles be gone, Magneto.Copy !req
242. And I may not like it,Copy !req
243. but if Charles trusts you with his X-Men,
he'd trust you with this.Copy !req
244. We were at a bar in Germany
when he first mentioned his dream.Copy !req
245. I laughed at him.Copy !req
246. Was he sentimental or suicidal?Copy !req
247. Both earn an early grave.Copy !req
248. He did that smile of his,
that annoying secret smile.Copy !req
249. "Magneto, any dream worth having
is a dream worth dying for."Copy !req
250. We thought we'd perishCopy !req
251. before seeing the day
when humanity accepted our people.Copy !req
252. Like Moses and the Promised Land,Copy !req
253. we would carry the dream,Copy !req
254. but never live it.Copy !req
255. Look, Magnus,Copy !req
256. I may not be Jean Grey,Copy !req
257. but I know what the Professor
would say if he was here.Copy !req
258. "Time to dream bigger."Copy !req
259. You shall have me on one condition.Copy !req
260. I ought to knock you
from here to the North Pole.Copy !req
261. You think making me your queen
means we're getting back together?Copy !req
262. It is a political calculation, Rogue.Copy !req
263. Me, mutant kind's fiercest defender,Copy !req
264. and you, an X-Man whose touch
allows her to feel anyone's pain.Copy !req
265. A true leader, an empathetic one.Copy !req
266. Was this your plan all along?Copy !req
267. Make everyone like ya and then take over?Copy !req
268. This was Xavier's design.Copy !req
269. It is why he gave me his X-Men.Copy !req
270. A final chance to uphold the promise
we made to one another so long ago.Copy !req
271. But I need help.Copy !req
272. You take me for a fool.Copy !req
273. Acting like this is all about you
and the Professor.Copy !req
274. I won't deny my passion for you.Copy !req
275. As with Gambit,Copy !req
276. loving you makes broken men whole
so that even as you deny us,Copy !req
277. our heartache is not in vain.Copy !req
278. We would be lucky to have you lead.Copy !req
279. I can't believe
I lost it like that.Copy !req
280. Oh, Scott, anger is normal,
even for mutants.Copy !req
281. Sometimes you just have to let go.Copy !req
282. There are some things
worth holding on to.Copy !req
283. Describe him to me.Copy !req
284. Describe Nathan.Copy !req
285. I see him everywhere.Copy !req
286. In every face,
on every street, so clearly.Copy !req
287. I can't see color, but up here...Copy !req
288. I see these big brown eyes
and his wild rust-colored hair.Copy !req
289. It reminds me of...Copy !req
290. Of us.Copy !req
291. Don't tell me you can explain.Copy !req
292. Jean!Copy !req
293. If you'll excuse us, Madelyne.Copy !req
294. Something wrong,
Miss Pryor?Copy !req
295. Sorry, mind just drifted a moment.Copy !req
296. Mind drift indeed.Copy !req
297. Communicating via psychic rapport
was our thing, Scott.Copy !req
298. Just stop and let me explain, please.Copy !req
299. Explain what? I know what I saw.Copy !req
300. - Jean, you...
- How long has it been happening?Copy !req
301. A month maybe. I was checking in
after she moved overseas,Copy !req
302. - but we ended it...
- Go.Copy !req
303. Go to Genosha. Be with my clone.Copy !req
304. Oh, dear.Copy !req
305. What you saw on the astral plane
was confusion, Jean.Copy !req
306. Grief.Copy !req
307. She's the mother of my son.Copy !req
308. That's the one thing
I can be certain about right now.Copy !req
309. Do you love her?Copy !req
310. I love both of you.Copy !req
311. Whole galaxies beckoned me.Copy !req
312. But I turned my back for you.Copy !req
313. Sinister cuts out a part of me
and you love it?Copy !req
314. That wasn't love in there, it's ego.Copy !req
315. The music is changing
and you need a chair.Copy !req
316. Leader, father, husband...Copy !req
317. And you? You don't trust your memories.Copy !req
318. Do you even love me?Copy !req
319. My love for you
is the one thing I rememberCopy !req
320. amid this pain and insanity!Copy !req
321. Remember? Or feel?Copy !req
322. Choose, Jean.Copy !req
323. Do not spin this on me.Copy !req
324. Do you love me, Jean?Copy !req
325. Or am I just a lovely memory?Copy !req
326. Jean! What is it?Copy !req
327. Hey, there.Copy !req
328. Wasn't expecting a lady caller.Copy !req
329. What's wrong, chère?Copy !req
330. You best sit down.Copy !req
331. It was back after I ran away
from my daddy.Copy !req
332. My evil mother
was helping me with my powers,Copy !req
333. said she knew a fella who could help.Copy !req
334. An associate.Copy !req
335. The man seemed nice enough.Copy !req
336. Seemed to wanna help.Copy !req
337. Just not like I thought.Copy !req
338. He spent weeks
talking about how mutants were special.Copy !req
339. How we'd have our own cities
and culture one day.Copy !req
340. He even had plans, too, Remy.Copy !req
341. Mutant art, fashion, dance.Copy !req
342. He showed me that being a mutant
wasn't just about my power.Copy !req
343. It could be something more.Copy !req
344. And when we realized
that his electromagnetic powersCopy !req
345. protected him from my touch,Copy !req
346. other things started happening.Copy !req
347. But then I started seeing the hurt in him,Copy !req
348. like raging waters.Copy !req
349. There wasn't enough room in our affair
for his demons and mine.Copy !req
350. When I joined the X-Men,Copy !req
351. Erik said he wouldn't want me
to lose another family.Copy !req
352. He acted like it never happened.Copy !req
353. We both did.Copy !req
354. You gonna accept his offer?Copy !req
355. If Genosha's shown us anything,Copy !req
356. it's that we don't need
to be afraid of change.Copy !req
357. And if I can play a bigger role
in bettering the world,Copy !req
358. well, that's the whole reason
I became an X-Man.Copy !req
359. You never wanted
to make things official.Copy !req
360. I respected that.Copy !req
361. I played the swamp rat.Copy !req
362. And I played your chère.Copy !req
363. All the expectations,Copy !req
364. every time looking at you,
seeing all the things I couldn't do.Copy !req
365. Like telling Gambit
the dang truth?Copy !req
366. I can't touch you, Remy!Copy !req
367. Your heart may beat for me,Copy !req
368. but I can't feel it.Copy !req
369. You light up everything you touch,Copy !req
370. but never me.Copy !req
371. Some things be deeper than skin, chère.Copy !req
372. Not this.Copy !req
373. I wager that fool
will break your heart in two.Copy !req
374. Gambit always knows the odds.Copy !req
375. That it?Copy !req
376. In this game, he do.Copy !req
377. Till then, we be friends, mon amie.Copy !req
378. Just friends.Copy !req
379. A drink for my dashing Cajun?Copy !req
380. Not enough drink change the fact
that others be more dashing, chère.Copy !req
381. Assemble the Council. We need to talk.Copy !req
382. Whatever is the matter, Dr. Cooper?Copy !req
383. Is it your dress?Copy !req
384. My former prosecutorCopy !req
385. has likely taken issue
with your choice for Chancellor.Copy !req
386. But surely Genosha's right to self-governCopy !req
387. will not only be protected but cherished,Copy !req
388. as it is with all UN nations.Copy !req
389. Most other nations don't allow a terrorist
to be their leader.Copy !req
390. Yet so many allow their leaders
to be terrorists.Copy !req
391. If it eases your mind,Copy !req
392. Magneto accepted only on the conditionCopy !req
393. that we ask one of the X-Men
to govern with him.Copy !req
394. Rogue.Copy !req
395. What did she say?Copy !req
396. Oh.Copy !req
397. Turn it off. The music.Copy !req
398. Jean, what is it?
- Madelyne.Copy !req
399. Thanks for the dance, sugar,Copy !req
400. but Remy was right.Copy !req
401. Some things are deeper than skin.Copy !req
402. Turn it off, the music.Copy !req
403. Get everybody out.Copy !req
404. Kill the music.Copy !req
405. Cable?Copy !req
406. You have to get everyone out.Copy !req
407. - Now! He's coming.
- Who's coming? What's going on?Copy !req
408. Access failure imminent.
Body slide one.Copy !req
409. No, no!Copy !req
410. Not again.Copy !req
411. Your eyes.Copy !req
412. You made it.Copy !req
413. You survived.Copy !req
414. I'm so sorry, Mom.Copy !req
415. Sorry for what?Copy !req
416. What in tarnation.Copy !req
417. Rogue, get to the gardens.
Hurry!Copy !req
418. Terminate mutant.Copy !req
419. Rogue!Copy !req
420. Remy.Copy !req
421. He alive.Copy !req
422. So are you.Copy !req
423. Gambit, how many?Copy !req
424. Too many.Copy !req
425. So many.Copy !req
426. Some vile Godzilla Sentinel.Copy !req
427. You go at it, you end up dead.Copy !req
428. Can't even dent it.Copy !req
429. We're trying to evacuate folks now,Copy !req
430. but the Morlocks, they stuck in the bay.Copy !req
431. Right under its belly.Copy !req
432. And there's no way to them.Copy !req
433. A promise was made.Copy !req
434. Hurry. Almost to the gardens.Copy !req
435. Mutants located.Copy !req
436. I draw its fire away from the gardens.Copy !req
437. Rogue clears a path for Gambit
to the Morlocks.Copy !req
438. Save as many as you can.Copy !req
439. We shall not live our days wondering
if we could've saved more.Copy !req
