01x18 - Backlash

[bunniefuu]

Only recently, every
MRD facility in the nation

was left in utter ruin

after synchronized
attacks by mutant forces.

But what should have been a
devastating blow to Senator Kelly

and his anti-mutant initiative

has actually proved otherwise.

(MACHINE CLANGING)

It's all too clear tonight
that those attacks

only emboldened Kelly's efforts.

What's being called Phase One

of Project Wideawake
has now begun.

(GRUNTING)

(ROARING)

(g*n FIRES)

REPORTER: With full
authority from the government,

the forceful registration of
mutants has commenced

in New York State, and is set
to expand across the country.

Every single mutant
living among us

is a b*mb waiting to go off,

as demonstrated
by the recent attacks.

And outlaw mutant groups, like
the Brotherhood and the X-Men,

will no longer be tolerated.

These creatures simply
must be registered.

To any mutant who refuses
to come forward voluntarily,

I guarantee we will find you.

We will go door-to-door,

march into every home,
every school, every business.

Let it be known, here and now,

that your days are numbered.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

LOGAN: People just don't get it.

Kelly's gonna force this
w*r, and then nobody wins.

Unfortunately, we've
got something here

that brings us one step closer.

You know the computer data we stole
from the Sentinel plant a while back?

Well, I finally decrypted it by
taking a parallel tri-algorithm

and adding a...

What'd you find?

It indicates their supercomputer
is an artificial intelligence

designed to operate
all of the Sentinels.

With a single mind
controlling them,

an army of Sentinels
will act as one,

efficient and deadly.

But there was something
else. Show him.

(COMPUTER HUMMING)
The AI is named

Mastermold.

(WHIMPERS)

(GROWLS)

(GRUNTS)

(GROWLS)

You've gotta be kidding me.

I imagine it's the genesis
of the very Mastermold

Professor X is
fighting in the future.

You know, the one he...

But the future isn't
our immediate problem.

According to this,

Mastermold is scheduled to
bring the Sentinels online tomorrow.

All of them.

Kitty was right.

We should have trashed that
place when we had the chance.

(GRUNTING)

Oh, I get it.

You're supposed to
stop me. Go ahead, try.

(GROANING)

Next time, try a little harder.

Hello, Pietro.

Well, well, well,
Wanda, my dear sister.

Tell me, how is
life in paradise?

You know it wasn't
my choice to be here.

We do what is asked of us.

Yes, of course.

But you were asked to live a
cushy life at our father's side,

while I've been stuck doing the
dirty work with the Brotherhood.

Pietro, please, leave now.

Father will not be
happy to see you here.

Thank you for the warning,

but I no longer care
about his happiness.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

MAGNETO: You know that you're
not supposed to leave the palace

without an escort.
It could be...

(GRUNTS)

Lorna, leave us for a moment.

I need to speak with
your brother privately.

Yes, it is best she leave.

Otherwise, your little
heiress might find out

what's going on
in the real world.

Explain yourself.

Okay, how's this?

I've served you faithfully.
I've never questioned you.

I've done everything
asked of me.

And now you've
cut me loose. Why?

You've accomplished
nothing, Pietro.

You failed to spread the fear of
mutants and quicken the way to w*r.

You failed to keep
the X-Men in check.

You are of no further use to me.

But I am your son!

Which makes your mistakes
all the more unforgivable.

Son or not, I refuse to
let your incompetence

hold back mutantkind any longer.

When Kelly starts the
w*r, you're gonna need me.

The future is secure
without your help.

Now leave,

and never return.

Father, is everything all right?

No, Wanda, I'm afraid it isn't.

I need you to do
something for me.

What is it?

Contact the MRD

and let them know
where they can find Pietro.

Why?

I'll not let him jeopardize
everything we've worked for.

(DOOR CLOSING)

(SIGHS)

Were you able to
communicate with the Professor?

No, we're on our own.

What did you find out, Warren?

Forge was right. Something
big is happening in the morning.

It has to do with
Project Wideawake.

Hank, better assemble the team.

Say, this is pretty
much it, isn't it?

If those Sentinels are activated,
it's the beginning of the end.

That looks to be the case.

Then, better count me in.

Warren, it's your father's
facility. He'll see you.

Times are changing. I can't let
him control who I am, not anymore.

Besides, it'll finally give
us something to talk about.

You're assuming
we're going to survive.

I'm an optimist.

LOGAN: Sorry, Kitty,
that's not an option.

(PROTESTING) NIGHTCRAWLER:
He wanted me to tell her.

I said I'd rather face
100 of these Sentinels.

Good move.

KITTY: What do you
mean, I'm not going?

Pryde, will you calm down?

Someone has to
stay here with the kid.

But why me? I'm an
X-Man, not a babysitter!

One, you can defend her.

And two, if things go bad,
you can get her out of here.

The last thing we need
is Tildie getting upset,

if you know what I mean.

(SIGHS)

You should have trashed that
place when you had the chance.

(PLANE LANDING)

Frost, you getting anything?

There's no one here. Not
a human mind, anyway.

Trap?

(ALARM BLARING)
SENTINEL: Scanning.

Mutants detected.

Target acquired.

Yeah, it's a trap.

SENTINEL: Halt, mutant!

(THUNDER CRASHING)

Targeting.

(GRUNTS)

Mutant target identified.

(GROWLS)

I got this! Just
get Forge inside.

I'm on it.

Let's go, you have a
date with Mastermold.

Impressive, isn't it, Senator?

It's hard to believe the computer
actually predicted this attack.

It's no ordinary computer.

Mastermold can think on its own.

When it realized that its systems
were being hacked by the X-Men,

it gave them information
that would lure them here.

It actually laid a
trap. Incredible.

It gets better. The
Sentinels are studying them,

sharing the data
with Mastermold.

With every fight, they
get better and better.

(GASPS)

Is everything all
right, Mr. Worthington?

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Zane.

Senator, that
anonymous tip was good.

The MRD has engaged
the Brotherhood.

I can't leave them
alone for one minute.

(g*ns FIRING)

(WHIMPERS)

(SOLDIERS EXCLAIMING)

No good! I'm stuck.

(g*ns FIRING CONTINUOUSLY)

(HIGH-PITCHED WHINING)

(GROANING)

Avalanche, get Toad.

We have to bail. We have to...

The Brotherhood
doesn't run. Not anymore.

(CRASHING)

(g*n c*ck)

Did you miss me?

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

How could the MRD even find us?

Nobody knows we're here!

Magneto does.

He cut us loose, and nothing
would make him happier

than seeing us rot
in an MRD prison.

Magneto turned on us?
Why would he do that?

We risked our lives for him.

(TOAD WHIMPERING)

Don't even try to
understand that guy.

I've spent my
whole life doing it.

Hey, MRD backup is
close. Something else, too.

The Sentinels are active and
taking down the X-Men right now.

Good! I hate those guys.

Well, then, here's
our next move.

We're gonna save the X-Men.

Uh, come again?

(GASPS) Tildie!

Don't do that.

They're coming for us.

The bad men.

What bad men?

The ones who took me before.

The MRD?

Oh, Tildie, you need to relax.

But... But...

The X-Men will be
back soon and then...

(DOOR CLOSING) Wait.

Why would you think the
MRD are coming for you?

I saw them.

You saw them? On TV?

Whoa, hey! No need for that.

Everything's
going to be all right.

(SHUSHING) It's okay! The
MRD isn't coming for us, I promise.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(BOTH GASP)

Nothing to worry
about. It's probably,

you know, the cable
guy or something.

Uh, who is it?

Please open up, ma'am.

We're here to
search the premises.

(GASPS)

Come on, Forge, think
fast. Make good decisions.

(g*n FIRES)

(GROANING) Hank!

SENTINEL: Scanning.

Mutant apprehension in progress.

Target acquired.

Halt, mutant!

(GROANS)

Logan, I lost track of Forge.

I'll find him.

Mutant identified.

Targeting.

Target acquired.

(GROANING)

Mutant detected.

Storm!

Quicksilver.

Relax, Wolverine.

We're here to rescue you.

(LAUGHING)

MASTERMOLD: Receiving new data.

Threat assessment commencing.

New targets identified.

Solution in progress.

Infrared Team reports
three heat signatures.

Use your hand scanner to
determine if they're muties.

(BEEPING)

(BOTH GRUNT)

Trust me, everything
is going to be all right.

There's no need to go and
create a big, 100-foot tall monster

that's gonna step
on the mansion.

You stay here with the Professor
and I'll go get us some chips,

a couple of sodas and
maybe a board game.

Everything is going
to be fine, okay?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SCREAMS)

What is the
Brotherhood doing here?

The MRD was
supposed to handle them.

It's under control, Senator.

(TYPING)

Mastermold has begun
a defensive strategy.

SENTINEL: Mutant
target identified.

Halt, mutant.

(GRUNTING)

Let's go.

Come on, Wolverine.

There's no shame in letting the
Brotherhood pull you out of the fire.

We don't wanna be pulled out.

We want in!

Avalanche, we need a door!

(GRUNTING)

(BLOB SHOUTING)

After you.

Morris, Chan, report,
report. Morris, Chan!

Code 10. We have a Code 10!

Huh. I wonder what a Code 10 is.

(expl*si*n)

Elf, get Forge to the computer.

Me and Slim here
will take care of these.

Watch it, Pipsqueak.

I can take these things
and still crush you after.

Let's hope you get the chance.

(SHOUTING)

(GRUNTING)

All I have to do is upload this
virus into the Mastermold system...

Less talking, mein Freund.

Right, right, right. Just
let me find a port and...

Sentinel.

Targeting.

There's another
Sentinel in here.

How are we going to get the
virus into Mastermold now?

We're not.

Halt, mutant!

(g*n FIRING)

Mutant target identified.

Mutants detected.

Quicksilver, Ice, Rogue,

how about we retreat now?
Strategic retreat, come on!

Where's Wolverine?

He went inside.

Very macho and all, but
we're not gonna last for long,

so how about we get out of here?

No, we stay and
hold these things off.

We give Wolverine
time to finish this.

Heroes.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Mutants detected.

Throw me at the computer, Blob.

Nice knowing you.

MASTERMOLD: Warning! Warning!

This unit is in jeopardy.

(GRUNTING)

Halt, mutant!

Emma, you have to wake up Storm.

Quicksilver, draw their fire.

Make it stop, make
it stop, make it...

(LASER BLASTS STOP)

stop.

I did it!

(GASPS)

(MACHINE STOPS)

(SIGHS)

Hello?

What is going on?

This can't happen.
Mastermold is offline.

Sir, all communications
are down.

It's all routed through
Mastermold, all communications,

the Sentinels, everything!

Use your cell phone and get
every MRD unit there. Now!

(GROANING)

Are you all right?

Do I look all right?

Amazing. The
Sentinels are still active,

but they don't know what to do.

Great. Now let's level
these big bots for good

and then get out of here.

We'll let you guys
party on. Our job is done.

But before we leave,
you should know

you owe us one.

(GRUNTS)

KITTY: Where have you guys been?

Do you know what we've
been through tonight?

(CHUCKLES) Emma,
mind-wipe the MRDs.

Bobby, Hank, get
rid of the evidence.

(BEEPS)

I gotta talk to the Professor.

What are you
talking about, Chuck?

I wasted Mastermold myself.

I'm sorry, Logan, but
nothing has changed here.

Mastermold must
have somehow survived.

(ELECTRICITY SIZZLING)

MASTERMOLD:
Programming repaired.

Mastermold is online.
