X-Men: Days of Future Past/Transcript

*[New York - mutants have been gathered by an army of robots to be killed]
*Professor X: (Voice Over) The future, a dark, desolate world. A world of war, suffering, loss on both sides. Mutants and the humans who dared to help them, fighting an enemy we cannot defeat. [a young mutant is seen walking through piles of dirt and carcasses] Are we destined down this path? Destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us? Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves, change our fate? [the human kneels down and brushes off some dirt on the ground from an object with the X-Mansion on it, suddenly there's a low rumbling noise, as the mutant turns to see what it is a light is flashed across the human's face] Is the present truly set?

PROFESSOR X:
So few of us left.
KITTY: Professor?
I've found them.
(POWERING UP)
(LIGHTER CLICKS)
BOBBY: Professor!
Bobby.
Hey, Storm.
Hey, kid.
KITTY: Professor,
you made it.
(SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE)
Whenever the Sentinels attack,
Warpath spots them...
then I send Bishop
back to warn us
of the attack before it happens.
Blink scouts the next site...
and then we leave before they
ever know we were there.
Because...
we never were.
What do you mean
you were never there?
She projects Bishop back in time
a few days to warn the others...
of the coming attack.
So she sends
Bishop back in time?
No, just his consciousness,
into his younger self.
His younger body.
Wow.
This might just work, Charles.
What might work?
The Sentinel program was originally
conceived by Doctor Bolivar Trask.
In the early '70s, he was one of the
world's leading weapons designers.
But, covertly, he had begun
experimenting on mutants...
using their gifts
to fuel his own research.
TRASK: This is extraordinary.
PROFESSOR X: There was one mutant who
had discovered what he was doing.
A mutant with the ability to
transform herself into anyone.
Mystique.
PROFESSOR X:
I knew her as Raven.
We met when we were children,
grew up together.
She was like a sister to me.
I tried to help her...
but only succeeded
in driving her away.
She hunted Trask
across the world.
And at the Paris
Peace Accords in 1973,
after the Vietnam War...
she found Trask...
and killed him.
(GUNSHOT)
It was the first
time she killed.
It wasn't her last.
But killing Trask did not have
the outcome she expected.
It only persuaded the government
of the need for his program.
(GASPS) PROFESSOR X: They
captured her that day...
tortured her,
experimented on her.
In her DNA, they discovered the secrets
to her powers of transformation.
It gave them the key
they needed...
to create weapons that could
adapt to any mutant power.
And in less than 50 years...
the machines
that have destroyed...
so many of our kind were created.
(LOW GROWL)
But it all started
that day in 1973...
the day she first killed.
The day she truly became...
Mystique.
You want to go back there.
If I can get to her,
stop the assassination...
keep her out of their hands...
then we can stop the Sentinels
from ever being born.
And end this war
before it ever begins.
Uh, I can send someone back
a couple weeks.
Maybe a month.
But you're talking about
going back decades.
You have the most powerful brain
in the world, Professor...
but the mind can only stretch
so far before it snaps.
It would rip you apart.
I'm sorry.
No one could survive that trip.
What if someone's mind
has a way of snapping back?
What if someone can heal as
fast as they're ripped apart?
It's a risk.
Yeah, I'm getting that.
BISHOP: Not just for you.
You do this, you change history.
Well, that's kind of the point.
Some of us could be killed.
Some of us may never be born.
We have no idea
how things may change.
BLINK: We could keep going.
Keep fighting.
STORM: Until what?
You've got a decision to make.
You can keep sending
Bishop back in time
over and over again to warn you,
until one day, he doesn't
make it, and you all die.
Or you can give up this life.
So that they and everyone
else who died in this war
can actually have a future.
You're asking us
to sacrifice our lives
for a future we might not
even be a part of.
Yes.
PROFESSOR X:
A second chance.
A better chance for everyone.
My people need to vote.
They just did.
They're in.
STORM: Okay, spread out.
BISHOP: Take your positions.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
So I wake up in my younger
body, God knows where.
Then what?
You'll need to go to
my house and find me.
Convince me of all of this.
Won't you be able to
just read my mind?
I didn't have my powers in 1973.
Logan, you're going to have to do
for me what I once did for you.
Lead me, guide me.
I was a very different man then.
You'll have to be patient with me.
(CHUCKLES)
Patience is my strongest suit.
You'll need me as well.
What?
MAGNETO: After Mystique left
Charles, she came with me...
and I set her on
a dangerous path.
A darker path.
It's going to take the two
of us, side by side...
at a time when we couldn't
be further apart.
Great.
So where do I find you?
Well, it's complicated.
Are you sure about this?
It's not just his power
that'll be tested.
I've seen what this
can do to you.
I can handle this.
Trust me.
I guess I'll see you in the next life.
(CHUCKLES)
:[Kitty Pride briefs Wolverine on the potential dangers of his time-travel mission]
:Kitty Pryde: Basically, your body will go to sleep while your mind travels back in time. As long as you're back there, past and present will continue to coexist. But once you wake up, whatever you've done will take hold and become history. And for the rest of us it'll be the only history that we know. It'll be like the last fifty years never happened, in this world, in this war. The only person who will remember it is you. Alright, Logan, I need to you clear head and to stay as calm as possible.
:Wolverine: What? What do you mean?
:Kitty: If your mind gets rocky it'll be harder for me to hold you. You could start to slip between past and future.
:Wolverine: What if I need to get a little rocky?
:Kitty: Think peaceful thoughts.
:Wolverine: Peaceful thoughts. You have any good news?
:Kitty: Well, you don't really age so you'll pretty much look the same.
:Iceman: You won't have much time in the past, the Sentinels will find us. They always do.
:Kitty: And this time we won't be able to run, we'll have no escape. This is our last chance.
You really think this will work?
I have faith in him.
MAGNETO: It's not him I'm
worried about, it's us.
We were young...
we didn't know any better.
We will now.
See you all soon.
This might sting a little.

Hey, I don't know

You're supposed to be

not screwing her.
Well, I didn't sleep with her.

No.
I mean, yes, I slept

Jimmy!
That wasn't me.
That was the old me.
I just got here 20 seconds ago.

Then what happened

I was sent here from the future?
Huh?

Get out of here, sweetheart.
Yeah.
We're gonna take care of this comedian.
LOGAN: No, you're not.
You're gonna give me the keys to

(MAN SPEAKING OVER RADIO)
(EXHALES)
Hmm.
MAN: (OVER RADIO) Today, the 18th MP
Brigade is departing from Saigon,
marking the last American
troops to leave Vietnam.
And effectively ending the war.
:[the Senate Armed Services Committee hears out Bolivar Trask]
:Senator Brickman: We are reviewing our defense expenditures, and all the black books are being opened. We can't support a weapon that targets our own citizens. If these Mutants as you describe are already living among us, then they are living here peacefully.
:Senator Parker: We haven't had an incident in over ten years.
:Senator Davis: After what happened in Cuba!
:Parker: It was never confirmed. [Addressing Trask] We have very real enemies out there. The Russians, the Chinese.
:Brickman: We are talking about a tenth of a tenth of a tenth of our population.
:Dr. Bolivar Trask: Allow me to read something to you.
:Brickman: Please.
:Trask: This was acquired from our friends in the CIA. [Opening a folder] It's a dissertation written by a mutant at Oxford University and I quote: "To Homo Neanderthalensis, his mutant cousin: Homo Sapiens," which is us, "was an aberration. The arrival of the mutated human species, Homo Sapiens, was followed by the immediate extinction of their less evolved kin." [Closes the folder] Well, now we are the Neanderthal.
:Brickman: Speak for yourself, Dr. Trask. [Members of Congress laugh quietly]
:Trask: [Warning Congress] You know, when you sent our soldiers to Vietnam without the weapons they needed to win the war, you underestimated your enemy. You do that with this enemy and it won't be some border skirmish halfway around the world. This time, the war will be for our streets, our cities, our homes. By the time you see the need for my program, it'll be too late and you'll have lost two wars in one lifetime.
:Brickman: [Believing Trask is insane and paranoid] We're sorry Dr. Trask, but your Sentinel Program…it ain't going to fly!
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)
Can I help you, Colonel?
Just here to give our
boys a proper send-off.
I'm sorry, sir, but we have orders.
This is a quarantined area.
Stand aside, soldier.
That's an order.
SOLDIER: Atten-hut!
At ease.
(CLEARS THROAT)
What is all this?
Lab reports, blood tests.
It's all getting packed up
and shipped back.
Where is it going?
Same place they are.
Trask Industries.
STRYKER:
Let's go, gentlemen.
I'm taking you out
of this shit show.
HAVOK: Shipping home?
Not just yet.
What are you doing with those?
Something to make the ride
a little smoother.
I'm transferring you
to a private facility...
where we can run
a few more tests.
(COLONEL SANDERS
CLEARS THROAT)
Your men are not military.
Private outfit.
We're authorized
to remand these men.
Hmm.
These troops are going home.
Well, Colonel, I don't believe you
have jurisdiction in this matter.
I'm afraid I do, son.
I'm sorry, who are you?
The question is, Major...
who are you?
(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMS)

(CHOKING)
Raven!
That's not my name.
(GRUNTING)
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
I had that.
I know.
Let's move out.
Come on, let's go.
HAVOK: Where's Erik?
I'm on my own now.
Let's go! Move it!
(SOLDIERS
YELLING INDISTINCTLY)
Hold that plane!
Wouldn't wanna leave these boys
in this godforsaken country.
SOLDIER: Yes, sir.
You're not coming
with us, are you?
My war's not over.
The enemy is still out there.
The four privates,
where did they go?
They were headed
towards the tarmac.
Can I help you?
Uh... Yeah, what
happened to the school?
The school's been shut for years.
Are you a parent?
(SCOFFS) I sure as hell
hope not. Who are you?
I'm Hank. Hank McCoy.
I look after the house now.
You're Beast?
Look at you. I guess
you're a late bloomer.
I don't know what
you're talking about,
but I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.
(GRUNTS)
So where's the Professor?
There's no professor here.
You're pretty strong
for a scrawny kid.
You sure there's not
a little Beast in there?
No, he's not here.
Come on, Beast.
Come on, Beastie.
No.
(GRUNTS) Hey!
I said the school's closed.
You need to leave. Not
until I see the Professor.
There's no professor here,
I told you that.
Look, kid. You and I are
gonna be good friends.
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
You just don't know it yet.

(LOGAN SCREAMING)
(ROARS)
CHARLES: Hank?
What's going on here?
Professor?
Please don't call me that.
Why?
You know this guy?
Yeah, he looks
slightly familiar.
Get off the bloody
chandelier, Hank.
(GLASS CLINKING)
You can walk.
You're a perceptive one.
I thought Erik...
Which makes it
slightly perplexing that
you missed our
sign on the way in.
This is private property,
my friend.
I'm gonna have to ask him
to ask you to leave.
Well. (SIGHS)
I'm afraid I can't do that...
because, uh,
I was sent here for you.
Tell whoever it was
that sent you that I'm busy.
That's gonna be
a little tricky...
because the person
who sent me was you.
What?
About 50 years from now.
(LAUGHING)
I know. Stay with me.
Like in the future, 50
years from now? Yeah.
I sent you from the future?
Yeah.
CHARLES: Piss off.
If you had your powers, you'd
know I was telling the truth.
How do you know
I don't have my p...
Who are you?
LOGAN: I told you.
Are you CIA?
No.
You've been watching me?
I know you, Charles.
We've been friends for years.
I know your powers
came when you were 9.
I know you thought you were
going crazy when it started...
all the voices in your head.
And it wasn't
until you were 12...
that you realized all the voices
were in everyone else's head.
Do you want me to go on?
I never told anyone that.
Not yet, no, but, you will.
All right,
you've piqued my interest.
What do you want?
We have to stop Raven.
I need your help.
We need your help.
I think I'd like to wake up now.
(SIGHS)
What does she
have to do with this?
CHARLES: So you're saying...
they took Raven's
power, and what?
They weaponized it?
Yep.
She is unique.
Yeah, she is, Hank.
LOGAN: In the beginning, the Sentinels
were just targeting mutants.
Then they began to identify the
genetics in non-mutants...
who would eventually have mutant
children and grandchildren.
Many of the humans tried to help
us, but it was a slaughter.
Leaving only the worst
of humanity in charge.
I've been in a lot of wars.
I'd never seen
anything like this.
And it all starts with her.
Let's just say
for the sake of...
the sake, that I
choose to believe you...
that I choose to help you.
Raven won't listen to me.
(SIGHS)
Her heart and soul
belong to someone else now.
LOGAN: I know.
That's why we're
gonna need Magneto, too.
HANK: Erik?
(LAUGHING)
You do know where he is?
LOGAN: Yeah.
(CHARLES LAUGHING)
CHARLES: Could you give me
that one more time, please?
You heard me.
(LAUGHING)
He's where he belongs.
You're just gonna walk out?
Ooh, top marks. Like I
said, you are perceptive.
The Professor I know
would never turn his back...
on someone who'd
lost their path.
Especially someone he loved.
You know...
I think I do remember you now.
Yeah. Tall, angry fellow
with the contentious hair.
We came to you a long time ago...
seeking your help.
And I'm gonna say to you
what you said to us then.
Fuck off.
Listen to me, you little shit.
I've come a long way, and I've
watched a lot of people die.
Good people. Friends.
If you're gonna
wallow in self-pity...
and do nothing, then you're
gonna watch the same thing...
you understand?
We all have to die sometime.
Told you there was
no professor here.
What the hell happened to him?
HANK: He lost everything.
Erik, Raven...
his legs.
(SIGHS) We built the school,
the labs, this whole place...
then, just after
the first semester...
the war in Vietnam got worse.
Many of the teachers...
and older students were drafted.
It broke him.
He retreated into himself.
I wanted to help,
do something...
so I designed a serum
to treat his spine...
derived from the same formula that
helps me control my mutation.
(SIGHS) I take just enough
to keep myself balanced...
but he takes too much.
I tried easing him back...
but he just couldn't bear
the pain, the voices.
The treatment
gives him his legs...
but it's not enough.
He's...
He's just lost too much.
(SIGHS)
YOUNG RAVEN: You're
not scared of me?
YOUNG CHARLES: I always believed I
couldn't be the only one in the world.
Charles Xavier.
Raven.
You're hungry and alone.
Take whatever you want.
We've got lots of food.
You don't have to steal.
In fact...
you never have to steal again.
And that's a promise.
CHARLES: I'll
help you get her.
Not for any of your future
shite, but for her.
Fair enough.
But I'll tell you this.
You don't know Erik.
That man is a monster.
A murderer.
You think you can
convince Raven to change?
To come home?
That's splendid.
But what makes you think
you can change him?
Because you and Erik sent
me back here together.
HANK: The room
they're holding him in
was built during
the Second World War...
when there was
a shortage of steel.
So the foundation is pure
concrete and sand. No metal.
CHARLES:
He's being held...
a hundred floors
beneath the most
heavily guarded
building on the planet.
LOGAN: Why is he in there?
What, he forgot to mention?
(SNICKERING)
Uh, JFK.
He killed...
(CHUCKLING)
What else explains a bullet
miraculously curving through the air?
Erik's always had
a way with guns.
Are you sure you want
to carry on with this?
This is your plan, not mine.
HANK: We don't have any
resources to get us in.
CHARLES: Or out.
It's just me and Hank.
I knew a guy.
Yeah, he'd be a young man now.
Grew up outside of D.C.
(CHUCKLING)
He could get into anywhere.
I just don't know how the hell
we're gonna find him.
Is Cerebro out of the question?
LOGAN: If only you guys
had Internet.
What's "Internet?"
(SIGHS)
We have a phone book.
I thought you'd be getting
ready for your trip, sir.
I just came to
grab a couple files.
Is that a new scarf?
It's nice.
Thank you.
(BEEPS)
(BREATH TREMBLING)
(GASPS)
Dr. Trask?
One second.
Oh.
We added some names
to the Paris meeting.
Thank you.
Is something wrong, sir?
No. It's nothing.
Would you mind
typing up my itinerary?
I don't wanna miss anything.
LOGAN: Here, here, here.
CHARLES: Where?
Just stop here.
All right, all right.
LOGAN: Next time I'm driving.
Don't get used to it.
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
(MAN TALKING ON TV)
(SIGHS)
What's he done now?
I will just write you a
check for whatever he took.
We just need to talk to him.
Peter! The cops
are here. Again.
(DOOR CLOSES)
I'm a princess.
What are you?
I'm the Wolverine.
Where's your brother?
Go upstairs and bug your sister.
But she bugs me!
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
(PLAYING PING-PONG)
PETER: What do
you guys want?
I didn't do anything.
I've been here all day.
Just relax, Peter.
We're not cops.
Of course you're not.
If you were,
you wouldn't be
driving a rental car.
How did you know
we've got a rental car?
I checked your registration when
you were walking to the door.
I also had some time to kill
so I went through
your rental agreement.
Saw you were from out of town.
Are you FBI?
No, you're not cops. Hey, what's
with this gifted youngsters place?
That's an old card.
He's fascinating.
He's a pain in the arse.
What, a teleporter?
No, he's just fast.
And when I knew him
he wasn't so... young.
PETER: Young?
You're just old.
So you're not afraid
to show your powers?
What powers? What
are you talking about?
Do you see
something strange here?
Nothing anybody would
believe if you told them.
(ARCADE GAME PINGING)
So, who are you?
What do you want?
LOGAN: We need your help, Peter.
For what?
To break into a highly
secured facility...
and to get someone out.
Prison break?
That's illegal, you know.
Um...
Well, only if you get caught.
So, what's in it for me?
You, you kleptomaniac, get
to break into the Pentagon.
How do I know I can trust you?
Because we're just like you.
Show him.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
That's cool,
but it's disgusting.

You must have done

What did you do, man?
What did you do?
What did you do? Why'd
they have you in there?
For killing the President.
Ah. Wow.
(WHISPERS) Shit.
The only thing I'm guilty of
is fighting for people like us.
You take karate?
You know karate, man?
I don't know karate.
But I know crazy.
(CHUCKLES)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and
girls, this is a Code Red situation.
We are evacuating

Who are you?
We're special operations, CB...

Perhaps you didn't hear me

but it is imperative
that you understand...
we're in a complete

We have to get you

(GRUNTS)
Oh, I'm sorry.
Were you finished?
(GRUNTING)
They told me you control metal.
"They"?

(CHARLES GROANS)
Good to see you too, old friend.
And walking.
No thanks to you.
You're the last person in the
world I expected to see today.
Believe me...
I wouldn't be here
if I didn't have to.
If we get you out of here,
we do it my way.
No killing.
No helmet.
I couldn't disobey
you even if I wanted.
I'm never getting
inside of that head again.
I need your word, Erik.
Nobody move!
Hold it right there!

Why would you try and save him?
Because he was one of us.

You must think me so foolish.
We've always said they

I never imagined they'd

When did you last see her?

The day I left for Dallas.
And how was she?
Strong.
Driven.
Loyal.
How... How was she?
She was...
We were...
I could see why she
meant so much to you.
You should be proud
of her, Charles.
She's out there
fighting for our cause.
Your cause.
The girl I raised was
not capable of killing.
You didn't raise her,
you grew up with her.
She couldn't stay a little girl
forever, that's why she left.
She left because you
got inside her head.
That's not my power.
She made a choice.
But now we know where
that choice leads, don't we?
She's going to murder Trask,
they're going to capture her...
and then they're
going to wipe us out.
Not if we get to her first.
Not if we change
history tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Charles...
for what happened.
I truly am.
It's been a while since I've played.

:Dr. Bolivar Trask: Good afternoon, everyone, hello, thank you all for coming. Congratulations on winning this war. Now, I know you all have hands to shake and photos to take downstairs so I will get right to the point. There is a new enemy out there; an enemy that will render your arsenals useless, your armies powerless and your nations defenseless. You'll need a new weapon for this war. [begins a slideshow presenting Sentinel schematics] I call them 'Sentinels', named after the ancient guardians who stood at the gates of the citadel. They have the aeronautic capabilities of a Harrier jet, armed with guns that can fire off more than two thousand rounds of thermoceramic ammunition per minute. But size, power, speed- you could find that at Lockheed or Boeing. No, what makes the Sentinels so special is the ability to target the mutant X-gene. A genetic guidance system that can lock onto a mark half a mile away and won't trigger unless it has identified the target. With this weapon, there will be no human collateral damage. If I turn it on, the system couldn't even activate in here [the detector starts beeping]...unless there's a mutant.

(ALL CLAMORING)
Yesterday,
the Paris Peace Summit...
was rocked by the appearance
of unidentified assailants...
the likes of which
the world has never seen.
Mass hysteria has gripped
the nation as people ask...
"Where did they come from?
Will they be back?"
And most importantly,
"Are they friend or foe?"
That was London correspondent
Toby Elliot...
reporting from the
Paris Peace Summit yesterday.
Fuck me.
What the hell are we dealing with here?
Off the record.
Two days ago, this man,
Erik Lehnsherr...
escaped from a maximum security
prison inside the Pentagon.
We believe that this woman
is a former associate
of Lehnsherr's.
They were together in Cuba,
the day of the crisis in '62.
He was also implicated
in Kennedy's assassination.
What about that thing?
MAN: We don't know what
that thing is, sir.
Actually, we really don't
know what any of them are.
Yes. Yes, we do.
They're mutants.
He has the power
to control metal.
Last I checked, that's what
most of your weapons
were made of.
And she can transform
into anyone.
A general, a secret serviceman.
Even you,
Mr. President.
She could walk
into this office...
and order a nuclear strike
if she was in the mood.
And that's only two of them.
Do we have any countermeasures?
Any defense?
I was waiting for you
to ask me that question.
That's an experimental program, sir.
Strictly off the books.
(DOG BARKS)
You're telling me these mutants
are out in the world...
and our best defense
are these giant metal robots?
Many of the mutants
look like us.
My Sentinels can
tell the difference.
I have eight prototypes
ready to go.
They're built out of
a space-age polymer,
not an ounce of metal on them.
I want to make a demonstration.
I want the world to know
that we can protect them.
What do you need to get
these things operational?
I already gave that
number to Congress.
Unfortunately, they
elected to shut me down.
It's going to cost a bit
more to turn them on.
NIXON: Whatever you need.
TRASK: Oh, and one more thing.
If we do manage to capture
them, I would like her.
For research purposes,
of course.
I don't care who you screw,
as long as it's not me.
(NEWSREADER SPEAKING FRENCH)

You think she has a family?
Yes.
She does.
(NEWSREADER SPEAKING

(BEGGING IN FRENCH)
If I see so much
as a screw move,
I will jam this
into your throat.
How did you find me?
You taught me well.
It's been a long time
since we were this close.
I missed you.
You tried to kill me.
So the rest of us could live.
What do you mean?
We received a message
from the future.
Don't lie to me.
I never have, and I never will.
Humans use your blood,
your genes,
to create a weapon
that wipes us all out.
I was only doing what I thought
necessary to secure our future.
So what's to stop me
from killing you
right now and
securing my future?
Nothing.
It doesn't matter anymore.
They have your DNA. Your
blood was on the street.
Whose fault was that?
Mine.
I've seen their plans.
They're creating a weapon.
And now they have what they
need to take it further.
We have to strike now, while
we still hold the upper hand.
I've seen too many
friends die, Erik.
I don't want a war.
I only want the man
who murdered them.
This is war.
What happened to you?
Did you lose your way
while I was gone?
Are you still Charles' Raven?
Or are you Mystique?
Trask is the enemy.
Killing one man isn't enough.
It never was for you.
Goodbye, Erik.

They all come back.
Look.
I'm still here...

We need your help, Charles.
Not like this.
I need you.
We can't find Raven.
Not without your powers.

Hank, do me a favor.
Would you help me

Come on, I got you.
(CHARLES GRUNTS)
Are you sure about this?
Absolutely not.
TRASK: This creature
is extraordinary.
Her genes could hold the key
to mutation itself.
I need more.
That's all they were able to
scrape off the pavement in Paris.
More than blood.
I need brain tissue...
spinal fluid, bone marrow.
Imagine...
Sentinels that could transform,
adapt to any target.
If I could just get
my hands on her.
This girl could leap
the program forward years...
decades into the future.
How old is your son now, Major?
Jason?
He's coming up on ten now,
if you can believe it.
Eight years from fighting age.
And how many of
our sons and brothers
did we just ship
home in body bags?
Maybe fifty,
fifty-five thousand?
And how many more
on the other side?
Never before...
in all of human history...
has there been a cause which
could unite us as a species.
Until now.
You really hate,
mutants, don't you?
On the contrary,
I rather admire them.
The things they can do.
I see mutants as our salvation.
A common enemy.
A common struggle
against the ultimate enemy.
Extinction.
I believe our new friends...
are going to help us
usher in a new era, Bill.
A new era of genuine...
and long-lasting peace.

I'm sorry, Logan, but they

You're right.

But I was the only one who could

And, uh...
And I don't know

But I do know that

actually, a long

I was your most

You showed me what I was.
You showed me what I could be.
I don't know how
to do that for you.
You're right.
I don't.
But I know someone who might.
Hmm.

they're lost forever.
Sometimes we all need
a little help.
Oh, I'm not the man I was.
I open my mind...
and it almost overwhelms me.
You're afraid,
and Cerebro knows it.
All those voices...
so much pain.
It's not their pain
you're afraid of.
It's yours, Charles.
And as frightening
as it may be...
that pain will
make you stronger.
If you allow
yourself to feel it...
embrace it...
it will make you more powerful
than you ever imagined.
It's the greatest
gift we have...
to bear their pain
without breaking.
And it's born...

I set the system I designed...
to record any news about Paris
over all three networks...
and PBS.
All three? Wow.
Yeah, and PBS.
Look what I found.
Tomorrow, in front
of the White House,
the President will
make his announcement.
He will be joined by Secretary
of Defense Laird...
and has even sought the help
of renowned scientist
Bolivar Trask...
his special advisor
to combat this mutant issue.
The White House has asked...
CHARLES: Raven
doesn't realize...
that if she kills Trask
at an event like that...
with the whole world watching...
Then I came a
long way for nothing.
And there's more bad news.
I saw in a report...
they found traces
of her blood in Paris.
For all we know,
they already have her DNA...
which is all they'd need.
To create the
Sentinels of the future.
There's a theory
in quantum physics...
that time is immutable.
It's like a river. You can
throw a pebble into it...
and create a ripple, but the
current always corrects itself.
No matter what you do, the river just
keeps flowing in the same direction.
What are you trying to say?
What I'm saying is...
what if the war is inevitable?
What if she's
meant to kill Trask?
What if this is just
simply who she is?
Just because someone stumbles,
loses their way...
doesn't mean
they're lost forever.
No, I don't believe
that theory, Hank.
And I cannot believe
that is who she is.
CHARLES: Ready the plane.
We're going to Washington.
(BEEPING)
You all right?
Getting there.
(SIGHS)
Whatever happens today, I need
you to promise me something.
You've looked into my mind
and seen a lot of bad...
but you've seen the good, too.
The X-Men.
Promise me you'll find us.
Use your power,
bring us together.
Guide us. Lead us.
Storm. Scott.
Jean.
Remember those names.
There are so many of us.
We will need you, Professor.
I'll do my best.
Your best is enough.
Trust me.
(WIND HOWLING)
There's 12 carriers
inbound, 10 miles!
They've found us.
REPORTER: Thousands of people
will be gathered here today.
They've come from
all over the world...
to witness history,
along with news crews...
from at least
50 different countries.
Thank you.
(BEEPS)
Can I see your
invitations, please?
Yes, you may.
These two are with me.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
CHARLES: Logan!

please, listen to me.
We've been given a second

Don't do this.

No, but we can slow them down.

:[Having unleashed the Sentinel Mark Is, Erik controls a news camera and hold President Nixon, his cabinet and Trask hostage.]
:Erik Lehnsherr: You built these weapons to destroy us. Why? Because you are afraid of our gifts. Because we are different. Humanity has always feared that which is different, but I am here to tell you, to tell the world, you're right to fear us. We are the future. We are the ones who inherit this earth and anyone who stands in our way, will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power. Instead I give you a glimpse of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours. Let this be a warning to the world and to my mutant brothers and sisters out there, I say this. No more hiding. No more suffering. You have lived in the shadows of shame and fear for too long. Come out. Join me. Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind, a new tomorrow that starts today.
:[In the future, Blink makes a valiant effort to fend off the Sentinels. She is later killed by them as Magneto begins to succumb to his injury.]
:Magneto: All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles, to have a precious few of them back. [Charles comforts him as the Sentinels begin using their energy beam to break through. Iceman tries to hold them off using his ice powers to barricade the door.]

Mr. President, sir.
Stand down.
I said, stand down!
You want to make a statement?
Kill me. Fine.
But spare everyone else.

Very heroic,
Mr. President...
but you had no intention...
of sparing any of us.
The future of our
species begins now.

:Raven Darkhölme: Get out of my head, Charles!
:Charles Xavier: Raven, please do not make us the enemy today.
:Raven: Look around you, we already are!
:Charles: Not all of us, Raven. All you've done so far is save the lives of these men. You can show them a better path.
:Hank McCoy: Shut her down, Charles.
:Charles: I've been trying to control you since the day we met, and look where that's got us. Everything that happens now is in your hands. I have faith in you, Raven.
:[As Mystique ponders what to do, the Mark X Sentinels destroy Iceman. They soon close in on Professor X, Kitty Pryde, Magneto and Wolverine. Just before the Sentinels could destroy them, Mystique tosses the gun aside and spares Trask, erasing the dark future. President Nixon and his cabinet are ultimately convinced that not all mutants are against humanity.]
