[Rogue cranks the Jack-in-the-Box until Mesmero's face pops up.]
[To Charles] The mind-bending Mesmero. He was in Bayville last week with that Circus of Mystery. [Hands Charles the Jack-in-the-Box]
[Takes the Jack-in-the-Box from Rogue] Then we need to attend their next engagement.
H Hank
[Enters] [To Charles] Professor. The last remaining ring? It resides in Washington D.C., at the Museum of Eastern Antiquities.
[After telekinetically knocking Charles down, Mesmero goes into the tent. His control over the other X-Men finally wears off.]
[Relieved] Whoa. [Confused] What's going on? How did we get here?
[Massaging his injured shin while sitting] Yeah, sure, now you're all better.
[Jean slowly wakes up.]
[Crouches down to help Jean up] [To Jean] Easy, Jean.
I'm right here. Everything's okay.
[Rogue puts Charles back in his wheelchair, then uses the telekinesis she absorbed from Jean to tear apart the tent, but realizes that Mesmero is gone.]
[Realizes that Mesmero is gone] Hey! Where'd he go?!
[To Charles] Are you all right? Did Mesmero hurt you?
Not Mesmero, Hank. Mesmero was just another puppet like Jean. There was someone else pulling the strings: A mind more powerful than anything I've ever encountered.
[To Charles] What could he possibly want with those rings?
I really don't know, but I doubt we'll like the answer.
[In the final scene...]
M Mesmero
[To the second door] Understood. I will find them. And the world will once again tremble at the presence of– Apocalypse.
