TWTV woman
Your family has been torn apart. Your friends have all turned their backs on you. You can't even look at yourself in the mirror all because of one thing, the X-Gene, that tiny mutation that has ruined your life. But thanks to the dedicated scientists of Worthington Pharmaceuticals, the Legacy cure can now reverse the damage. Yes, we can make you normal again, because we care.
[By teleconference] Nice. I like that caring angle. Now what is it, Warren?
My son is missing, Robert.
But why worry? You know he'll turn up eventually. After all, he couldn't have gotten very far.
[Smashes through window] Hello, Father.
Retribution. [Smashes TV and swipes table to side]
WWarren
[Backs against wall] What's happened to you?
You took something from me, Father, and I got it back.
It is now. [Throws four metal spikes pinning Warren to wall] Eye for an eye, Father. And what is it you hold dear, hmm? Your empire? And it's only fitting I take it from you, starting with your cure! [Flies out window and flies into another window of lower floor, with Warren taking elevator to ground floor to observe smashed laboratory] Come to say goodbye to your legacy?
Please, Son, you don't know what you're doing!
My mind has never been so clear! And next, your Sentinel factories are going down! You'll get to watch that, too! Now let's go!
No! [Slams vault door shut and slides down to floor with head in hands in extreme torment with Angel scraping at door with wings]
I should go in. He'll listen to me.
After what Sinister did to him, he won't be listening to anybody. [Jumps from helicopter through Angel's-smashed-window]
[Breaks open door of Warren's office] You're coming with me one way or another.
[Slams Angel against wall] Angel, this ain't the way.
What do you know, Wolverine? [Shoves Wolverine afar who extends claws]
Because I've been where you are. Look at me. I wasn't born like this.
But you didn't lose anything.
I lost everything. My past, my memories... I'll never get them back.
I know. And if you had the chance, you'd go after the people who did it to you. :Wolverine: That's because I'm a monster, kid. You're not. Hurting your father won't help. Now listen...
I'm through listening! [Throws spikes at Wolverine with fight ensuing]
[Gets Angel in headlock] You've always used your wings to help people, not hurt them. This is all Sinister. [Angel throws Wolverine ahead then swipes him to window, then Wolverine kicks Angel to ground, jumping over him] I won't let you do something you'll regret, Angel. Trust me. It'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
Don't fight me, Wolverine. We're on the same side.
I don't know which side you're on, but it ain't mine!
Warren, please. This isn't like you.
Storm, it's over! Everything's changed! It can't be like it was before!
Yes, it can! We can help you! Just stop what you're doing!
[Ruby on Angel's cap glows] No! Now my father has to pay! [Storm conjures lightning directing it to Angel knocking him out]
Does he look all right to you?!
What?! You think this is my fault?! Someone else did this to him!
I just wanted what was best for my son.
We don't believe that any more than Warren did. [Looks back to Angel realizing he's disappeared] Can you track him?
There's no scent. Sinister made sure of that. [Storm gazes up to birds reflectively at lakeshore bench with Wolverine walking up and puts arm round Storm] We'll get him back. I promise.
[To Warren standing at smashed window of office] What do you mean you're out?!
The cure is wrong! The Sentinels are wrong! I was wrong!
Yeah?! Then so was I, [pointing] by trusting that you'd see this through to the end!
The end of what, Robert?! The world?! [Turns to him] Because that's where we're heading!
[Pointing hand becomes spread and lowered] You helped draw the line between us and them!
And it's growing fainter every day! The damage we caused, the lives we ruined... maybe we're the problem! [Turns back to window]
You think you can just stop it?! Then you're a fool! Powerful people are behind us! [Walks to door] It's out of your hands! Sorry, Warren, in this war, humanity will win! Mutants will lose! And when the dust finally settles, we'll have you to thank! [Walks away]
SSScott Summers
[After a perilous obstacle course] I don't know why you even brought me here.
You're too hard on yourself, Scott. This will all take time.
SSScott Summers
You're wrong about me. I'm no hero. I'm not cut out to be an X-Man.
Tell you what, that's enough training for today. Go dry off and we'll take a little drive.
SSScott Summers
Where are we going?
To meet a special friend of mine.
[To Cyclops at lakeshore bench] Shall we continue?
Yeah. [Emma puts hand on Cyclops forehead initiating flashback of Charles and Scott at Jean's family house]
JJohn
[Comes down stairs] Charles.
Good morning, John. Hello, Jean. I'd like you both to meet a student of mine, Scott Summers. Jean, how are you feeling?
JJohn
You saw what's going on outside. She's a mess.
JJohn
It's because of your old friend Erik. He came to visit her.
JJohn
I don't know. She got scared and ran inside. She won't talk about it.
You must understand this changes everything.
He wants her on his side. Erik goes by Magneto now and he's assembling an army of powerful mutants.
JJohn
Does that mean he'll come back for her?
Most assuredly. And next time he won't ask first.
JJohn
He'll just take her.
JJohn
She may not be able to stop him.
John... I need more time with her.
My weekly visits aren't enough.
I'd like Jean to come and stay at the institute.
JJohn
No, she's too young.
But you can't protect her like I can.
Dad, I'd like to go with them.
[Second flashback of Blackbird X-Jet descending on city street to meet Magneto]
EMErik/Magneto
Just bring me the girl, Charles. We both know her place is with me.
She's chosen a different path than the one you offer, Erik. It's an uninformed choice.
EMErik/Magneto
How can she ever reach her true potential if you insist on suppressing her powers?
Because I see her as a person, not as a weapon.
EMErik/Magneto
You know how I abhor these confrontations, Charles.
But you leave me no choice.
Look, I want to move on with my life! I want to be an X-Men! But I can't! Jean is all I think about! And now my friends are getting hurt because of me!
What if I told you I could erase Jean from your memories?
Then what? I end up like Logan? Haunted by the things I can't remember?
No. I wouldn't do that you. Scott if the choice is leaving us or letting go of Jean, then let me try.
I have to admit, like everyone else, I did believe Jean had perished. And then you came to be, so convinced she was alive, that I just had resume my search.
Sinister, let us go! Now!! Don't touch her!
Not to worry. Acquiring genetic material is usually painless.
[Jean unleashes her strong telekinetic abilities, being taken over by the Phoenix Force]
Jean! JEAN! It's okay, Jean. It's over.
