Guardian Angel Wolverine and The X-Men

'Previously...'

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.

Let it be known, here and now,

that your days are numbered.

Isn't it enough he gets our money, Dad? I have to cheer him on too?

That man is a champion of the people.

Some people - not all of us.

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

That looks to be the case.

Then you'd 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 any more.

Is everything all right, Mr Worthington?

That's him, gentlemen. Get the mutant inside.

Sniper, do your job.

ROOF THUDS

Don't move! Don't even breathe!

ELECTRICITY SPARKS

Are you all right?

Yeah!

I suggest you find a place to hide.

Leave the city, if you must. Understand?

My angel!

CHILD CRIES

This has to stop!

I've grown really tired of this conversation.

You've got the MRD hunting some phantom vigilante in the skies.

You're gonna get yourself killed

Then that would solve all of your problems, Father.

Warren!

SHE LAUGHS

Just couldn't wait for me, huh?

Angel! What took you so long?

Sorry, late night.

Oh, yes! So I've been hearing.

-You know, I worry about you being so...

-Shh!

May I?

HE LAUGHS

Hey, guys. You haven't been waiting long, I hope. I took the scenic route.

-Understandable.

-We called because we got us a problem, Angel.

-What kind of problem?

-It's your old man.

You see, there's been some troubling news

out of Worthington Pharmaceuticals.

We hear they're only months away from a cure.

-For what?

-Mutants.

Supposedly, it will suppress the X gene and return us

to the way we were before our powers manifested.

I don't get it. How can a guy hate mutants so much when his own son...

That is the problem, Logan. Having a mutant for a son.

Angel, wait!

We need to discuss our options before...

No! I'll deal with it, Hank!

I'm not liking the sound of that.

You leaked the news?!

Just take it easy, Warren.

We are a long way from getting that cure on the market.

We don't need this public scrutiny yet!

It's exactly what we need.

To get FDA approval, people have to be clamouring for it.

-It's not the people I'm worried about.

-What? The mutants?

Who cares? By the time this is over, they'll all be disarmed.

I wasn't ready, Robert.

-You went behind my back.

-Don't make this so personal, Warren.

Remember, it's all for the common good.

Now, you've gone too far!

I'm sorry. I didn't want you to find out this way but... Listen to me.

It's not enough you use our money to help the MRD

hunt down innocent mutants.

Now, you want to wipe them out completely with this cure.

Wipe them out?! I'm helping them to become normal again.

Don't you want to be normal, Warren?

Not your definition of it!

But all the money, the years of research...

It was all for you!

No. It wasn't. It has always been for you.

I was your shame, your disgrace.

-Don't you dare put this on me!

-You don't understand, son,

because you're sick. This cure...

I don't need a cure, because this is not a disease!

I won't let you do it, do you hear me?

Oh...!

Yes. Colonel Moss, please.

We got him.

HE SIGHS

HELICOPTER APPROACHES

Wha...!

HE COUGHS

A-a-argh!

Pay back time.

How could you let this happen? He wasn't supposed to be injured!

You didn't tell me he was your son.

This could have been avoided if you'd been honest with us.

Just...get out of here, Moss.

-Mr Worthington?

-Dr?

I can help him with the broken ribs and the concussion,

-but the wings...

-What about them?

The injuries are severe. I'll need to bring in an avian specialist.

No....

Save my son but not the wings.

Remove them.

-SHOUTING:

-No! No! What have you done?

Where is he? Get my father here now! Find him!

Find him!

I need... I need to see...

-Please, take my advice. Don't go in there right now.

-Will he be OK?

Physically, yes. But I've had to sedate him.

Mr Worthington, I suggest you find a good therapist. For both of you.

MOANING

Angel...

A-A-Angel...

Poor, poor fallen Angel.

I've heard your cries and have come to help.

Who are you?

Just someone who could restore what's been taken from you.

Tell me your name.

Nathaniel Essex.

Sinister.

So, you've heard of me?

Then you know I can do what I promise.

Nurse...

Nurse!

If you want your wings back, you need only ask.

Warren!

How is he?

His injuries are serious.

Angel, all things considered, you shouldn't have left the hospital.

I...I couldn't stay there.

Not after... Just tell me, will they grow back?

Uh... Given time, perhaps.

But it's like losing a limb and...

Warren, right now what's important is that you're here

and everything else can wait.

She's right. We'll take care of you here.

Someone came to me. He said he could give me back my wings.

This magician got a name?

Essex.

Sinister. Come on, Angel. You know better than that.

He's bad news!

He knows mutant DNA better than anyone!

That's because he harvests it by force

in his barbaric attempts to create the perfect mutant.

He's an evil man.

And helping you is the last thing on his mind.

But I can't live like this!

I understand that, but Sinister is not the answer.

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

Will they... Will they be the same?

SINISTER: They'll be glorious.

-How will you...?

-Shh.

Now more questions. When you awaken, you'll be a new man.

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

Agh!

My Archangel!

-Well? Could Cerebro locate him?

-Yeah.

It seems he's headed to Worthington Pharmaceuticals.

There's something else, isn't there?

It looks like he's been...altered.

I think Sinister got a hold of him.

'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!'

'Nice! I like that caring angle.

'In the morning, let's grab some footage of me touring your labs.'

Fine.

'Now what is it, Warren?'

My son is missing, Robert!

'Why worry? You know he'll turn up eventually.

'After all, he couldn't have gotten very far.'

Hello, Father.

Warren?

What is this?

Retribution.

What's happened to you?

You took something from me, Father. I got it back.

No... No, this isn't you!

It is now!

Eye for an eye, Father.

What is it you hold dear, hmm?

Your empire?

Then it's only fitting I take it from you,

starting with your cure.

EXPLOSIONS

FIRE ALARM BEEPS

FIRE ALARM CONTINUES

Come to say good bye 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!

VIOLENT BANGING ON DOOR

LOUD SCRAPING

Emergency units and MRD choppers are seven minutes out.

I should go in. He'll listen to me.

After what Sinister did to him, he won't be listening to anybody.

LOUD BANGING

You're coming with me, one way or another.

Angel! This ain't the way.

What do you know, Wolverine?

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.

That's because I'm a monster, kid. You're not.

Hurting your father won't help. Now listen...

I'm through listening!

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.

Nor mine.

-SHOUTS:

-Get out of my way, now!

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.

No!

No, my father has to pay!

THUNDER CRACKS

Argh!

Is he...all right?

Does he look all right to you?

What? You think this is my fault? Someone else did this to him!

Don't kid yourself.

I just wanted what was best for my son...

We don't believe that any more than Warren did.

SHE GASPS

-Can you track him?

-No scent.

Sinister made sure of that.

We'll get him back.

I promise.

'What do you mean, you're out?!'

-The cure is wrong. The Sentinels are wrong. I was wrong.

-Yeah?

Then so was I. By trusting that you'd see this through to the end.

The end of what, Robert? The world? Because that's where we're heading.

You helped draw the line between us and them.

And it's growing fainter every day.

The damage we cause, the lives we ruin. Maybe we're the problem?

You think you can just stop it?

Then you're a fool!

Powerful people are behind us. 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.
