Original subtitles

NARRATOR: Previously on X-Men...

MAGNETO: The humans must be crushed.

BEAST: Magneto, I presume.

-What are you waiting for? -My day in court, actually.

(GROWLING)

You know that lunatic?

-Come on! They're gonna kill him! -Good.

CYCLOPS ON PA: Emergency!

Prepare infirmary to receijve critically injured mutant!

These things have armed themselves!

CYCLOPS: She's going to blow up those missiles herself!

JUBILEE: Something about him reminds me of Wolverine.

CYCLOPS: His name's Sabretooth. Wolverine knows him and hates him.

XAVIER: Did he give a reason? CYCLOPS: Does he ever?

Wolverine! Back off. Slow and easy.

(SCREAMING)

XAVIER: Is there no limit to the torment in your mind, Sabretooth?

Have you only known betrayal by your friends

and persecution by humanity?

We must probe deeper.

Your mind is full of torment, Sabretooth.

Your mutant life has been difficult. Your search for acceptance, a failure.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Cruelty to creatures we don't understand seems limitless.

(ROARING)

Let me become one with your pain.

Together, we can find the cause of your torment.

What are these inner demons that drive you?

Yes, we can fight them together.

Are we any closer to the core of your rages?

Wait! Don't break our psychic link!

(SABRETOOTH GROWLING)

What are you hiding from me, Sabretooth?

Why do you keep these thoughts from me?

Can they be so painful?

Don't resist me. I will know it all in time.

(SABRETOOTH SCREAMING)

Such hurt. Such rage.

No wonder Magneto believes there is no hope of peace.

But we must never give up trying.

CYCLOPS: Magneto thought we would join him, Professor.

He wanted us to use our special powers

in his battle for mutant liberation.

I don't know what corner you crawled out of, bub.

CYCLOPS: When we refused, he declared us his enemies.

He believes we are the next stage in human evolution,

beyond Homo sapiens to Homo superior,

and that we are destined to rule a mutant-control world

under his domination.

Fighting for human-mutant peace has just become more dangerous.

Stuff the philosophy. Let's go kick his butt.

-At any rate, I have some good news. We can use some.

(SABRETOOTH GROWLING)

Get him out of here.

XAVIER: I've been spending some time with Sabretooth,

probing his mind, working to help alleviate his rages,

much as I did for Wolverine.

There are still some recesses of his mind that I have failed to penetrate.

But I trust I will, given enough time.

WOLVERINE: I'll penetrate his recesses.

Wolverine!

What's wrong, Wolverine? No kiss and make up?

Kiss this.

We used to be old pals. Even worked together.

But we had some little misunderstandings.

Yeah, right.

He wasted some friends of mine for no reason, and I misunderstood?

Calm down, all of you.

After conquering your own rages, Wolverine,

you more than anyone know what Sabretooth is going through.

I need your assistance with the next phase of his therapy.

You got to be kidding!

Tell you what, long as he's here, I'm going to be somewhere else.

Wolverine! Come back!

Don't worry, sweet pea. He'll ease on back when he's ready.

We'll deal with Wolverine's attitude later.

Right now, we can't be distracted from our more urgent problem.

Magneto.

His missile attack failed, but he'll attack again soon.

And next time he won't be so merciful.

Well, Xavier, old friend. Where shall it be?

Where will you expect me?

One place is as good as another.

As long as it is populated with Homo sapiens,

human lives can be used as bait.

All those lovely chemicals...

After all, without them, life itself would be impossible.

(SCREAMING)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

XAVIER: Cerebro is monitoring all emergency frequencies.

If Magneto strikes anywhere within the vicinity of...

(ALARM BLARING)

Your old buddy doesn't let the grass grow under his feet.

He's challenging me! He'll hurt those workers just to get at me.

Jubilee, you stay here and look after Sabretooth.

My favorite job.

Be careful. Even though he's shackled, he could still be dangerous.

Now, we must face the master of magnetism.

Yes, sir.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

I wonder how you'll look, Charles, after so long.

Perhaps a toupee?

Qver there!

MAGNETO: I'm disappointed. I expected Xavier to be with you.

Sorry to disappoint you, Magneto. You'll have to make do with us!

Have you forgotten that electricity and magnetism are related?

Maybe I can steal some of this old boy's thunder.

(ROGUE GROANS)

You've wasted enough of my time.

If Xavier refuses to face me, I'll make him regret his cowardice.

Cyclops, look out.

(COUGHING)

STORM: No!

No!

(SCREAMING)

You just can't get close to some men.

Storm!

Sorry, gal, I don't know how long II...

(STORM SCREAMING)

How many must suffer before you will face me?

XAVIER: Enough, Magneto! Stop this carnage now!

It's me you want. So here I am.

Sorry about that, Storm. Must be losing my touch.

Oh, no!

Come on, baby, don't do this to me. Those bricks weren't that heavy.

(GROANING)

Don't scare me or anything!

Not you, too!

(COUGHING)

You're not going to like this,

but it's better than not breathing.

Come on, pretty boy. Make a girl feel welcome.

(COUGHING)

Don't worry, I won't tell Jean. I just hope...

(ROGUE GRUNTS)

(COUGHING)

-What's going on? -Cyclops! I couldn't help it. I...

I absorbed your power when I touched you.

I mean, how do I turn this darn thing off?

Your eyes! Shut your eyes!

Cyclops, where are you? You okay?

You brought me here, Magneto. The next move is yours.

The years have been kind to you, Charles.

A pity they haven't brought you wisdom.

Your wisdom? You find wisdom in this destruction?

We have not always been enemies.

I will give you a final chance.

-Never! -Fool!

You still dream of peace with those who would destroy all mutants?

Is this your answer? This horror?

After all the suffering we both have seen,

you wish me to wage war on six billion humans?

(PEOPLE COUGHING)

When I was a child, my people talked while others prepared for war.

They used reason while others used tanks,

and they were destroyed for their trouble.

I won't stand by and watch it happen again. I won't!

(XAVIER YELLS)

This is not how I wanted it to end.

I wish it could have been otherwise.

You were the best of us. Farewell, Xavier.

Your blindness has sealed your fate.

YOUNG MAGNETO: Mama! Papa!

No! No! Don't make me see.

Xavier, I can't! Stop it! Stop it!

No, Magneto, you will stop.

No. No more!

(SCREAMING)

ROGUE: Professor, where are you?

-l can't see! -I'm right here, Rogue. Don't move.

Okay, but hurry! I can't open my eyes. I got Cyclops' powers.

-What about the plant personnel? -They all high-tailed it.

Sounds like this dump's going to go up like the Fourth of July.

Let's go home. I will mentally be your eyes. Follow me.

Ladies and gentlemen, the world tonight is in the grip of a terrible crisis.

Since the President recklessly rescinded the Mutant Registration Act,

those unfortunate mistakes of nature are running wild.

The recent mutant attacks at Drake Missile Base

and Metro Chemical are just the beginning.

Senator, what do you plan to do about it?

I intend, this very evening, to declare my candidacy

for President of the United States.

What?

Right! And I'm the Queen of England.

As President, I intend to relocate every mutant

in this nation to internment camps

that will facilitate the handling of these poor, unfortunate creatures.

Just let me get my claws on that senator's throat.

(GROWLING)

KELLY: There, under the proper military supervision...

I'm sorry. I'm still learning to control that.

(SIGHS)

Thanks to Professor X's help.

-Look at your wrist! -It's not bad.

You going to stay calm while I fix it up?

Sure!

(SIGHS)

Okay, here, let me take care of it.

There. That's better.

-Much better. -I'll get something to treat it.

I heal real fast!

Lesson number one, girlie. Never trust nobody!

Your powers ain't so hot if you can't use your hands.

(GRUNTING) But your treatments...

You really think a few mealy-mouthed words

from that old weakling could change me?

I've been faking it. I've been waiting for the right moment.

(SABRETOOTH LAUGHING)

So, you want an Oscar or what?

I want to do what I was sent here to do,

and if you don't want the life crushed out of your little body,

you're going to help.

And what's that, dweeb?

SABRETOOTH: Magneto ordered me to find this place and take it over.

He knew your buddies would be at Beast's trial,

and that wimp professor would take me in.

He's got the X guy figured.

You know, I'm really going to enjoy tearing this place up.

Now, you get me out of this rig before I...

You done nice, girlie.

For a reward, I'll finish you off clean and fast.

But you said...

(JUBILEE GRUNTING)

Wolverine never should've let me live.

I wish he was here so I could take care of his carcass, too.

(SNIFFING)

Be careful what you ask for, old buddy.

It just might come true.

Good thing I didn't go too far away to cool off, Sabretooth.

This is between you and me. Let the girl go.

Whatever you say, pal.

So, you're doing the dirty work for Magneto now, eh?

You used to backstab people for fun. What turned you into a rat-for-hire?

I'd heard you'd gone soft. I was curious.

I think maybe I heard right.

All right, you egg-sucking piece of gutter trash.

You always liked pushing around people smaller than you.

Well, I'm smaller! Try pushing me!

(WOLVERINE ROARING)

How about a little taste of adamantium

for old time's sake?

It's good to be home again.

That tastes good. I'm breathing better, Professor.

And my powers are back.

-We'll have to do it again sometime. -Yeah, well...

(LOUD BANG)

The war room!

WOLVERINE: You always were second best.

And in this business, bub, second best don't cut it!

Wolverine! What did I teach you about revenge?

How often have I warned you about letting your personal feelings

endanger the work of our team?

But Sabretooth was about to total me! Magneto sent him to do it!

You're out of line, Professor. All ...

(SABRETOOTH ROARS)

Wolverine!

No!

(GRUNTING)

Rogue! Get him to the infirmary. Fast!

XAVIER: He's stabilized. He's going to be all right.

I was wrong, Wolverine. I should have listened to you.

I let my passion for an ideal that all mutants could be brothers blind me.

-That's twice I've failed. -We failed, Professor. Together.

We cannot afford to lose again,

or Magneto and those like him will prevail.

He's out there, scheming, planning.

I was able to trick him today. But I wonder when the time comes,

will the X-Men be ready?

MAGNETO: All right, Xavier. You've cast your lot with humankind.

But the others will understand.

Mutants will come to me by the thousands,

and we shall destroy you!
