01x12 - Days of Future Past: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

Hey, watch the road, ch?re!
Where you learn to drive?

With good old boys
on country back roads,

best teachers in the world!

GAMBIT: Maybe time
you had another lesson, eh?

Who's gonna teach me, you?

Sure, I teach you plenty of things,
if you ask me nice.

(GAMBIT GRUNTS)

Don't you ever get tired
of listening to yourself?

Not when I'm talking about you, ch?re.

(ROGUE EXCLAIMS)

Don't worry, Rogue! I park the car!

STORM: It could be any one of us.
We all have dark sides to our souls.

WOLVERINE: Speak for yourself, lady.

I know an X-Man is the assassin.
One day I'll remember who.

My, my, don't you all look serious.
And we've got company, too!

What's up?

Rogue, this is Bishop...

Everyone can relax.
Gambit has returned.

You! You're the reason I've come back!

Traitor! Your future ends now!

ROGUE: No!

Stop this!

(BISHOP GRUNTS)

Gambit's one of us, you tattooed freak!

This fighting ends now!

He's the assassin!
He has to be terminated!

Somebody say "assassin"?

I hate to be demanding,

but would one of you all
mind telling me what's going on?

His name is Bishop, Gambit.

He claims to be a time traveler,
from the future.

Yes, and I'm the queen of France!

That's the best kind of lie,
one can't nobody prove.

You're the liar, traitor!

Your stupid friends have saved
your life so you can betray them!

WOLVERINE: Time out, rookie!

You mean time's up, for all of you!

Because of him, the whole world
is going to be enslaved!

Everything you believe in
will lie in ashes!

And the X-Men are going to die.

It starts with a single death,
in Washington, D.C.

The assassin is Gambit,
but all mutants get blamed.

(WOMAN CRYING)

People are afraid, they want action,
they want protection,

they want revenge.

The Mutant Control Law is passed,
calling for an army of Sentinels.

They march over the nation,
seeking out mutants,

hunting them down like animals.

SENTINELS: Surrender, mutant.

BISHOP: Some fight back.

(MUTANT GROANS)

But not for long.

The Sentinels herd the surviving
mutants into detention camps.

The camps are your final stop.
You never leave.

Never.

But those who control the Sentinels
don't stop with mutants.

Eventually, they bring
their new world order to all humans.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

SOLDIER 1:
What the hell is going on here?

I've hated you all my life.

Easy, rookie.

If you prevent this assassination,
will the future you describe be averted?

That was the theory that led
a mutant inventor named Forge

to create this armband.

It puts out a temporal
displacement field

that allows me to remain here
in the past.

Who is Gambit supposed
to assassinate?

I don't know.

I only know it happens soon,
in Washington.

It could be the President.

It could be anyone.

I'm going to Washington for
the Senate hearings on Mutant Affairs.

Perhaps he kills me.

Hey, that's not funny.

It wasn't intended as a joke.

I've devoted my life

to helping mutants and non-mutants
live together in peace.

You don't take this poseur serious?
What we know about him?

Only a little more
than we know about you.

You've never been straight with us,
not completely.

I say we blow this liar
right back where he come from.

You do, and we'll know
he's telling the truth.

STORM: Wolverine! Gambit!

Gambit, I know you better than anyone.

But even if Bishop had accused me,
I would not know that he was lying.

We are all capable of evil.

Don't nobody trust Gambit, eh?

Then Gambit don't need nobody.

Going somewhere, traitor?

Just out of curiosity, gumbo,
where are you going?

Washington.

He even admits it!

I'm going to stop this assassination,
if there really is one.

CYCLOPS: We can't let you go, Gambit.

It is the only way to be certain.

Bishop stays behind also.

We'll be here when you get back,
only one of us may not be breathing.

But which one?

You kids better behave yourselves.
I'm staying behind to baby-sit.

BISHOP: I should've known better
than to play poker with an assassin.

Shut up, fool!

I can absorb your bio-energy,
and channel it right back!

I think he's getting ready to raise you.

That's my mutant power.

WOLVERINE: How would you like
to try absorbing these?

Now sit down, both of you!

Or cards won't be the only thing
that gets cut around here!

I am in position.

You see anything, just give us a holler.

Gambit, stop... No...

It's not true.

Nice sunrise.

(BELCHES)

Lovely sentiment, old Blob.
A spiffing day for an assassination.

MYSTIQUE:
And if we fail, you will be eliminated.

The Senate Subcommittee
on Mutant Affairs meets again today

to consider the proper place
of mutants in society.

You gonna play cards or watch TV?

It's your deal, Cajun.
And no more wild card games!

BISHOP: I still think he's cheating.

Then you better cut the cards.

BISHOP: Hey!

WOLVERINE: Gambit! Stop!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Believe me now, smart guy?

WOLVERINE: Shut up, rookie!

(SNIFFING)

This way.

BISHOP: You let him get away!

I didn't see you doing much!

No wonder you sent me back
to change the future,

because everything that happens
is your fault!

I still don't believe it.

-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!
-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!

-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!
-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!

Shall we begin the diversion,
Avalanche, old darling?

We'll bring the house down,
and the Senate, too.

-Humans, yes!
-Humans, yes!

KELLY: Professor Xavier,

have you associated
in the past with renegade mutants?

No, Senator, I have not.

Then it isn't true that your school for
the gifted is really a clearing house

for pro-mutant propaganda?

My school is dedicated to the idea
that mutants can live peacefully

-alongside ordinary humans...
-You're here to answer questions.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

WOMAN: Oh, my God!

Right on time.

(GUARDS EXCLAIMING)

I got your answers right here!

Stop them before they bring
the whole building down!

Perhaps we'll burn it down instead!

(BOTH SCREAMING)

XAVIER:
X-Men, come to the Capitol at once.

X-Men, come to the Capitol at once.

-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!
-Humans, yes! Mutants, no!

Hey, what's going on?

(CYCLOPS GRUNTS)

What's your hurry, four-eyes?

(LAUGHING)

You gonna be laughing out
the other side of your chubby face.

ROGUE: Look out!

(ALL GRUNTING)

(ROGUE GRUNTING)

I'm gonna flatten these X-Clowns
by sitting on them!

(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)

That's gross!

(BELCHES)

(GASPS)

Goodness, was that me?

Nothing hurts the Blob!

Okay, round boy! Let's dance!

BLOB: Hey, get off of me! Come on!

Get away! Get...

Now, Storm!

I summon the cold of the Arctic winds!

Hey!

(SHIVERING) I'm freezing in here.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

Let's make an igloo.

Wolverine! What are you doing here?
Where are Gambit and Bishop?

BISHOP: Eat plasma, renegade!

(g*n f*ring)

(PYRO EXCLAIMING)

The Cajun assassin
got the jump on us.

Where's Gambit?

He's supposed to be with you.
And you!

Give it to them straight up, Avalanche!

WOLVERINE: Look out, Cyke!

-Bishop!
-It's all right! He can take it!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

It's too heavy.

(EXHALES)

(GIRL CRYING)

-"He who fights and runs away..."
-Just shut up and run!

Are you all right?

This kid's crying. Do something.

We must move quickly, Cyclops.

Two of the renegades
are escaping. Hurry!

Wait, Storm! Where's Bishop?

Rogue, can you see Bishop?

I could spit on him, if I wasn't a lady.

Looks like he's running for Congress.

Bishop!

You should be safe in here, Senator.

What's going on?

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

You're about to make history, mon ami.

All we need is a witness.

You tell them all, this is what happens
when you go against mutants.

Especially Gambit and the X-Men.

(DOOR OPENING)

Surprised to see me? I know I am.

Are you all right, Senator?

Maybe you not as tough as I look, non?

Traitor!

It's all right, Senator. It's over.

Two of you?

That one's an imposter,
a shape-shifter.

Maybe. Better take you both out,
just to be sure.

At full force.

ROGUE: Don't you hurt him, Bishop.

What are you doing?

I'm sending you back
where you belong!

No! No!

It's all over, Mr. Kelly.
Now go on and let us be.

Please, Senator, just do what she says.

(GASPS)

ROGUE: You!

This is gonna be more satisfying
than I thought.

You won't hurt me, Rogue.
You're going to help me escape.

Now why would I do
a crazy thing like that?

Because once I looked like this.

Mama!

That's what I told you to call me
after I took you in.

What you called me
until the day you ran away.

Now, are you gonna help me,
the way I once helped you?

Hold it.

(WOLVERINE SNIFFING)

I smell something oily.

(GRUNTS)

-Are you all right, Senator?
-What I am is confused!

First one of you mutants tries to k*ll me,
then another one saves me,

only it's the same one!

There's a woman who looked like me,
who changed into a man,

and, well, it's back there!

A shape-shifter!

That explains why Bishop
thought Gambit was the assassin.

What's he doing, taking a nap?

All right, Mama, we're safe now.

You may be,
but I have failed Apocalypse.

He wanted Kelly assassinated,

to ensure the human race
the future it deserves.

Leave him!

He made me what I am,
gave me purpose.

Just like Professor Xavier did with you.

It ain't the same, Mama!

Apocalypse wants slaves,

like you tried to turn me into,
back on Muir Island!

Why?

It seemed like the only way
to get you back.

(SCREAMING)

I'm back in the future again!

Nothing's changed.
It's all just like I left it.

(DOOR OPENING)

You can try again, and again,
if you have to,

once the machine is rebuilt.

The one thing we have plenty of
is time.

But I didn't fail, Forge!
I stopped the assassination!

Then something else
must've happened afterwards,

something that has made the future
still turn out like this.

Why does Senator Kelly
want to see you, Professor?

Perhaps now he's ready
to listen to my proposals.

Wait! There's something wrong.

KELLY: No!

(expl*si*n)

CYCLOPS: Kelly's gone, Professor.

There must've been more mutants
in the g*ng than we knew about.

I don't believe
this is the work of the same g*ng.

JEAN: Why not, Professor?

XAVIER:
Because my watch has stopped.

I don't understand.
Why is that important?

Because it's been magnetized.
