"(PROTEUS SCREAMING)" "All these years." "All the work." "Now he'll be able to control his powers and come out into the world!" "Thanks to you, Moira." "I just wish the treatment weren't so hard on him." "(PROTEUS GRUNTING)" "PROTEUS:" "It's hurting me!" " It's the only way, Kevin!" " You must both be strong!" "(POWERING DOWN)" " Look!" "Moira!" " I can see him!" "Kevin, I can see you!" "He's so close!" "(BANSHEE AND MOIRA SCREAMING)" "I..." "I'm..." "Kevin!" "What's happening?" "I don't know, Kevin." "But the therapy is working." "We'll start again!" "No!" "Let me see what's outside these walls!" "(BANSHEE SCREAMING)" " Please, Kevin, let Banshee go." " Why?" "You might hurt him." "I know you don't mean to." "Let's go to the other chamber." "(BANSHEE SCREAMING)" "(MOIRA SCREAMS)" "(PROTEUS SCREAMING)" "(MOIRA SCREAMING)" "MOIRA:" "Charles!" "This is Moira!" "Please, answer me!" " What is wrong with the signal, Beast?" " I am not certain, Professor." " Charles, please answer me!" " What is it?" "Come quickly!" "I need your help!" "(MOIRA S CREAMIN G)" "Moira!" "Beast, prepare the Blackbird." " Come quickly!" " Looks like she saw a ghost!" "Big deal." "So, we go stomp a ghost." "It is a big deal, Logan." "I've known Moira 20 years." "I've never heard her like that." "For me?" "Do you see any other beautiful women around?" "Oh, Charles!" "Yes, of course I'll be your wife." "MOIRA:" "Charles, I will always care for you." "But I've fallen in love with someone else." "By the time you receive this, we will be married." "I'm so very sorry." " This isn't what I signed up for." " Help us to fulfill my dream." "Working for a better future for all, mutant and human alike." "MOIRA:" "So good to see you, Charles." "I'd like you to meet Sean Cassidy, my fiancé." "Moira's told me a great deal about you, Mr. Xavier." "How fortunate." "Now if you'll show me my quarters, Moira, I need to rest." " Does he not still love you, Moira?" " I dinnae think so." "But he needs me." "Charles has given everything for his students, his X-Men." "But friends, aye, that's different." "Sometimes I think I'm the only one he has." " There's Muir Island." " Yes." "Take us in." "Have a look for yourself, Charles." "This security tape was taken during the sonic therapy." " What is happening here?" " He is possessing Banshee's body." " Any lasting effects?" " Temporary weakness, exhaustion." "Who whacked the camera?" "Not the camera, Rogue, the whole room." "Proteus can actually change the physical world around him by merely thinking it." "Notice that after he leaves, the room goes back to its normal state, though it does you no good if you're hurt while it's happening." " And, Proteus is telepathic." " A spectacular power." "A teenager who can quite literally do anything he wishes." "Not a comforting thought." "So he can turn things upside down." "He don't look old enough to shave." "Beast, take Rogue and Wolverine in the Blackbird and see if you can track him." "Muir Island is not that large." "Please, be careful." "He's young and scared." "And he has no idea how powerful he is." "Xavier's kind of out to lunch." "They were engaged once," " Mr. Sensitive." " So?" "So next time the love of your life's in trouble, let me know how well you function." " Moira, I..." " Oh, Charles!" "My research began with this mutant." "I've failed him, and those he may harm." "We will find him and bring him back." "Don't worry." "Thank you, Charles." "You were always good to me." "I miss seeing you, being so far away." "What do you hear from Joe these days?" "Joe is a big-time politician now." "Doing quite well without me." "Do you want to see?" "What Scotland has lost is its dedication to family values." "As Secretary of State, I will bring Scotland back to the values that made it great." "KEVIN:" "I've read about places like this." "All these people!" "The smells!" "The sounds!" "What do I do first?" "(MUTANTS LAUGHING)" "He's been isolated at my hospital all his life." "He knows nothing of the outside world." "He's 17, but immature." "There are times he acts like a child." "He communicates through his telepathy." " I will try to reach him." " MOIRA:" "Be careful, Charles!" "I am having to push through unusual psychic static." "There!" "A confused, anxious mind." "Barely touching it." "I must try harder!" "(KEVIN GASPING)" "(WOMAN SCREAMING)" "KEVIN:" "What's going on?" "How did you do that?" "Whoever you are, stay out of my mind!" "(XAVIER STRUGGLING)" "He's gone." "(BANSHEE MOANING)" "BEAS T:" "Professor, we found something!" "A worker was discovered severely weakened, but otherwise unhurt." "Not unlike Banshee." "Did he say anything?" "Delirious ravings about a big evil thing." "Probably talking about Beast." "Professor, it appears Proteus has left the island." "Charles!" "There are millions of people over there!" "The last ferry has reached the mainland by now." "Off the island, there's no telling the harm he could do." "(IAN PANTING)" "(IAN SCREAMING)" "Looks like lan boy ran out of places to hide." " What's that?" " Leave him alone!" "(MEN SCREAMING)" "Come on!" "Don't!" "KEVIN:" "They scared him." "Why did they want to hurt him?" "Lan!" "Lan!" "Are you okay, son?" "Who did this to you?" "Why does this man hold him like this?" "This man wants to protect him." "He loves him!" "He would do anything for him!" " Talk to me, son." "What's wrong?" " He is his father!" "His father, not mine!" "Get away from my boy, you monster!" " Why does he call me a monster?" " Help!" "Please!" " I was just trying to help his son." " Somebody help me!" "Where is my father?" "(MEN YELLING)" "Go away!" "Don't do that!" "Mayday!" "Mayday!" "(MEN SCREAMING)" "GUARD:" "Mayday!" "Mayday!" "(GUARD S CREAMIN G)" "Sounds like we found our boy." "You cannot hurt me!" "WOLVERINE:" "Wow." "This kid sure knows how to throw a block party." "BEAST:" "If Dr. MacTaggert is correct, he must still be here, or his effect on the area would have been reversed." "What have I allowed to happen?" "Moira, please, this is not your fault." "Pick us up, Beast, right away." "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "MAN 1:" "Get out of here!" "Where is my father?" "If I may ask, how do you propose that we persuade Proteus to return with us?" "I don't know." "But we have to try." "Proteus, you must stop." "JOE ON TV:" "What Scotland has lost is its dedication to family values." "Let me help you." "Who are you?" "I'm not hurting anyone!" "People are trying to harm me!" "Please, leave me alone!" "Professor?" "(XAVIER MOANING)" " Charles!" " Astounding!" " BEAST:" "Professor, are you all right?" " Oh, Charles." "Rogue!" "Wolverine!" "ROGUE:" "What in the world?" "(PEOPLE MUTTERING)" " Has it gone?" " MAN 2:" "What's that?" "What is that?" "What's happening to me?" "KEVIN:" "A lorry!" "Now I can go anywhere." "The one who tried to reach me is with them." "He is the one!" "WOLVERINE:" "Soccer match get out of hand?" "MAN 3:" "A monster did this!" "A mutant for sure!" "KEVIN:" "Why does he move about in a chair?" "Is he somebody special?" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Let go!" "I can't control this!" "(PEOPLE SCREAMING)" "(ROGUE GASPING)" "I must find my father." "He'll protect me from them!" "Got to be careful picking dancing partners, darling." "The young ones will wear you out." " He's searching for someone." " Who, Rogue?" "A man." "An important man to him." "You know this mutant's history, Moira." " Who could this man be?" " I have no idea, Charles." "Grab the plane." "I'll track him on the ground." "How hard could it be to find one testosterone-driven kid?" "(LIGHTNING STRIKING)" "Check that." "(THUNDER RUMBLING)" "His path, though erratic, indicates he intends to go to Edinburgh." "We will find a way to reason with him." "Or, we take him out." "I know the kid's mixed up, but it's time for some tough love." "I..." "I need to call the lab." " Joe?" " Moira?" "What on earth?" "I wouldn't have called." "But I think you're in danger." "Kevin's out!" "Kevin?" "Well, put him back." "You know the election's this week." "I can't have this kind of thing coming out now." "I worked 16 years to get this chance!" "What do you expect me to do?" "You could talk to the boy!" "That's all he wants!" "He does?" "Even after what I did to him?" "Okay, Moira, but after the election!" "Joe?" "XA VIER:" "X-Men, report." "No sign of him from the west, Professor." "Nothing here from the east." "Same here." "Stay ready." "Xavier out." "This can't go on, Moira." "What haven't you told me about this mutant?" "I don't know how to... (GROUND SHAKING)" "He's here!" "Return immediately!" "Moira, wait!" "Kevin, please, you've got to come back with me!" "Never!" "There's a million things to see, to feel." "There's more than you taught me." "Why did you keep me from all these feelings?" "But people will be frightened of you!" "They'll try to hurt you." "XA VIER:" "She's right, son." "I'm not your son!" "I told you, stay out of my mind!" " Talk to me." "Who are you looking for?" " My father!" "We can help you find him." "Tell me about him." "Ask her!" "She keeps him away!" " Stop this now!" " End of the line, kid." "Don't touch him!" "He is my son!" "Your son?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "You're the one person I couldn't tell." "When I left you to marry Joe MacTaggert and I had his child, how could I?" "You underestimate my feelings for you!" "But then you always did." "I committed my life to mutant research to save my son." "When you helped me, you helped him." "Such a burden to bear alone." "We are no danger to you." "Hold on, Kevin." "(ROGUE GASPS)" "Gonna have to do better than that, Kevin." "(ROGUE STRUGGLING)" "Get them off of me!" "(BEAST SCREAMS)" "(GIANT APE GROWLING)" "XAVIER:" "Kevin, no!" "Charles, I'm sinking!" "Moira, hang on!" "Don't struggle." "You'll sink faster." "WOLVERINE:" "Day at the zoo's over, kid." "I'm asking you nice, Kevin." "Let them go." "Don't make me bust you up!" "Hey!" "Stop it!" "Make it stop!" "No!" "(SCREAMING)" "(GASPING)" "He's down there somewhere." "They can't stop me." "I'm going to find my father!"
