The future.
A dark, desolate world.
A world at war ...suffering ...loss
on both sides.
Mutants and the humans who dared to help them
fighting an enemy we cannot defeat.
Are we destined on this path?
Destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us?
Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves . .
change our fate?
Is the future truly set?
They're here!
Time's up!
Sentinels!
Sunspot.
Let's go!
Blink!
No!
You're too late, assholes!
Come here!
Get your hands up!!
- Get down!! - No!!!
No!!!
So few of us left.
Professor.
I found them.
Professor.
- Bobby. - Hi, Storm.
Hey kid.
Professor.
You made it.
Whenever the Sentinels attack
Warpath spots them.
Then I sent Bishop back to warn us of the attack...
before it happens.
Blink scouts the next site and..
well 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 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 Dr. Bolivar Trask.
In the early 70's, 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.
There was one mutant who had discovered what he was doing.
A mutant with ability to transform herself into anyone.
Mystique.
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 of Accords in 1973, after the Vietnam War,
she found Trask
and killed him.
It was the first time she killed him.
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.
They captured her that day,
tortured her ...experimented on her.
In her DNA, they discovered the secrets to her power 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.
And It all started that day in 1973.
The day she first killed.
The day she truly became Mystique.
You wanna 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 been born.
And end this war before it ever begins.
I.. 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?
Okay, spread out.
Take your positions.
So I wake up in the 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.
Patience isn't my strongest suit.
You'll need me as well.
What?
After Mystique left Charles she came with me
and I set her on a dangerous path.
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.
Where do I find you?
Oh, it's complicated.
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, that'll be the only history that we know.
It'll be like the last 50 years never happened.
And this world... this war...
the only person who'll remember it
is you.
Alright Logan, I need you to clear your head and to stay as calm as possible.
Why? What do you mean?
If your mind gets rocky it'll be harder for me to hold you
and you could start to slip between past and future.
What if I need to get a little rocky?
Think peaceful thoughts.
Peaceful thoughts.
Do you have any good news?
Well...
you don't really age so you'll pretty much look the same.
You won't have much time in the past.
The Sentinels will find us. They always do.
And this time we won't be able to run. We'll have no escape.
This is our last chance.
Do you really think this will work?
I have faith in him.
It's not him I'm worried about. It's us.
We were young. We didn't know any better.
We will now.
See y'all soon.
This might sting a little.
Holy shit!
It worked.
Hey, what's going on?
- Gwen! Get dressed! - Who the hell are you?
Hey, I don't know what's going on here.
What's going on is you're supposed to be
guarding the Boss's daughter, not screwing her!
I didn't sleep with her.
- No? - No.
I mean yes, I slept with her many times but...
Jimmy!
that wasn't me. That was the old me.
- I just got here like 20 seconds ago. - Really?
- Yeah. - Then what happened to your cloths?
No... Oh..
Will you believe me if I told you I was sent here from the future?
- Get out of here Sweetheart. - Yeah
We're gonna take care of this comedian.
No you're not.
You're gonna give me the keys to your car and some money for gas
or you're gonna wake up in a hospital.
Trust me! I know how these things play out.
- Aww. Because you're from the future? - No...
because of these.
What the hell?!
Ahhh... Damn it.
Peaceful thoughts.
We are reviewing all of 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've described
are already living among us, then they are living here peacefully.
We haven't had an incident in over 10 years.
After what happened in Cuba?
That was never confirmed!
We have very real enemies out there.
The Russians ...The Chinese.
We are talking about a 10th of a 10th of a 10th of our population.
- Allow me to read something to you. - Please.
This was acquired by our friends at the CIA.
Its 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.
Well...
now..
we are the Neanderthals.
Speak for yourself, Dr. Trask.
You know, when you sent our soldiers to Vietnam
without the weapons they needed to win the war
you underestimated your enemy.
Heh. You do that with this enemy...
It won't be some border skirmish halfway around the world.
This time the war will be for our streets, our cities, our homes.
And by the time you see the need for my program,
it'll be too late.
And you will have lost two wars in one life time.
We're sorry, Dr. Trask,
but your Sentinel program..?
It ain't gonna fly.
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.
Atten-hut!
At ease.
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.
Lets go, gentleman!
Taking you out of this shit show.
Shipping home?
Not just yet.
What are you doing with those?
Something to make your ride a little smoother.
We are transferring you to a private facility where we can..
run a few more tests.
Your men are not military.
Private outfit. We're authorized to remand these men.
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?
Raven!
That's not my name.
- I had that. - I know.
Let's move out! C'mon, let's go!
Where's Erik?
I'm on my own now.
Let's go! Move it!
Hold that plane!
I don't wanna leave these boys in this god-forsaken country!
Yessir!
You're not coming with us, are you?
My war's not over. The enemy is still out there.
Where'd they go?
The four privates, where'd they go?
They were headed towards the tarmac!
Can I help you?
Ahh... yeah. What happened to the school?
The school's been shut for years.
Are you a parent?
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... guess you're a late bloomer.
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
- Where's the professor? - There is no professor here.
You're pretty strong for a scrawny kid.
C'mon. Sure there's not a little Beast in there?
- Come on Beast. - He's not here.
- Come on Beasty. - Go!
Hey!!
I said the school is 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.
You just don't know it yet.
Professor!
Ahhh...
Professor!
Hank!? What's going on here?
- Professor? - Please don't call me that.
Do you know this guy?
Yeah, he looks ...slightly familiar.
Get off the bloody chandelier, Hank!
You can walk.
You're a perceptive one.
I thought Erik ..
Of course, it's slightly perplexing that you managed to miss our sign on the way in.
This is private property, my friend I'm gonna ask ..him to ask you to leave.
Well, I'm afraid I can't do that because...
because I was sent here for you.
Well, 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.
50 years from now, like in the future 50 years from now?
Yeah.
- I sent you from the future? - Yeah.
Piss off.
If you had your powers you'd know I was telling the truth.
How do you know I don't have my...
- Who are you? - I told you.
- Are you CIA? - No.
You were 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.
Alright, you've piqued my interest. What do you want?
We have to stop Raven.
I need your help.
We need your help.
Think I'd like to wake up now.
What does she have to do with this?
So you're saying, that they took Raven's power and what...
they weaponized it?
Yep.
She is unique.
Yes, she is, Hank.
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 or grandchildren.
Many of the humans tried to help us. It was a slaughter,
leaving only the worst of humanity in charge.
I've been in a lot of wars.
I've never seen anything like this.
And it all starts with her.
Let's just say that for the sake of...
sake, that I choose to believe you, that I choose to help you.
Raven won't listen to me.
No, her heart and soul belong to someone else now.
I know.
That's why we're gonna need Magneto too.
Erik?
You do know where he is?
Yeah.
He's where he belongs.
So that's it? You're just gonna walk out?
Oh, top marks. Like I said, you are perceptive.
The professor I know would never turn his back
on someone who lost their path.
Especially someone he loved.
You know...
I think I do remember you now.
Yeah, 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 wanna wallow in self pity and do nothing,
then you're gonna watch the same thing. You understand?
We all have to die some time.
I told you there was no professor here.
What the hell happened to him?
He lost everything. Erik. Raven. His legs.
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 all of their students were drafted.
It really 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.
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.
You're not ..scared of me?
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 got lots of food you don't have to steal..
In fact, you never have to steal again.
And that's a promise.
I'll help you get her.
Not for any of your future shite, but for her.
Fare enough.
I'll tell you this. You don't know Erik.
The 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.
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.
He's being held a hundred floors beneath the most
heavily guarded building on the planet.
Why is he in there?
What? He forgot to mention?
Ahhh JFK.
He killed him?
What else would explain the bullet miraculously curving through the air?
Eric's always had a way with guns.
Are you sure you want to carry on with this?
Hey, this is your plan, not mine.
We don't have any resources to get us in - or out.
It's just me and Hank.
I know a guy.
Yeah he'd be a young man now. Grew up outside of D.C.
He could get into anywhere.
Just don't know how the hell we're gonna find him.
Is Cerebro out of the question?
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.
Dr. Trask?
One second.
We added some names to the Paris meeting
Thank you.
Is there something wrong, sir?
No.
It's nothing.
Would you mind typing up my itinerary.
I don't wanna miss anything.
- Here..here..here. - Where?
-Just stop here. -Alright. Alright.
Next time, I'll drive. Alright? Don't get used to it.
What's he done now?
I'll just write you a check for whatever he took.
We just need talk to him.
Peter! The cops are here..
again!
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 cops. If you were cops you wouldn't be driving a rental car
How'd you know we've got a rental car?
I checked your registration when you were walking through the door.
I also had some time to kill so I went through your
rental agreements and saw you were from out of town.
Are you FBI?
Nope. You're not cops. Hey, what's with this 'gifted youngsters' place?
That's an old card.
He is fascinating.
He's a pain in the ass.
What, a teleporter?
No, he's just fast.
When I knew him he wasn't so ..young.
Young? You're just old.
So you're not afraid to show your powers?
Power? What powers? What are you talking about?
Did you see some strange here?
Nothing anybody would believe if you told them.
So, who are you? What do you want?
We need your help, Peter.
Why?
To break into a highly-secured facility
and get someone out.
Prison break?
That's illegal, you know.
Well, only if you get caught.
So, what's in it for me?
You, the kleptomaniac, get to break into the Pentagon.
How do I know I can trust you?
Because we're just like you.
Show him.
It's cool, just disgusting.
Built in 1943, the Pentagon is the world's largest office building
housing more than 25,000 military employees, stretched over 6 million square feet.
- Where is the bathroom? - He always needs to pee!
Well, lucky for you, you'll have time to...
Thank you.
Yeah, we're getting broadcast signal down here? What's going on?
Damn it!! Call maintenance! Get'em down here!
...from the Japanese empire.
This month-long battle...
included some of the fiercest fighting during World War II.
In 3 seconds those doors are going to open
and 20 guards will be here to shoot us.
I know. That's what I'm waiting for.
What are you doing?
I'm holding your neck so you don't get whip-lash.
What?
Whip... laaa..sh.
Don't move!
You're good. It'll pass.
It happens with everyone.
Must have done something pretty serious.
What'd you do man? What'd you do.
What'd you do? Why'd they have you in there?
For killing the president.
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.
I know crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen - boys and girls! This is a code-red situation!
We are evacuating the entire floor so that we my uh associate and I can uh
- secure the prisoner. - Who are you?
We are special operations CB FE CIC. Look...
perhaps you didn't hear me when first I spoke.
But it's imperative that you understand we're in complete lock-down situation.
We have to get you to the third floor...
Oh, I'm sorry. Were you finished?
They told me you control metal.
They?
You know, my mom once knew a guy who could do that.
Sorry, I'm just not very good with violence.
Charles.
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!
Charles. - Don't move!
Hands up or we will shoot!
- Freeze'em Charles. - I can't.
- Hands up!
Nooo!
♪ If I could save time in a bottle...

Thanks, kid.
Peter, thank you very, very much.
You take care.
Hey, I saw your flight plan in the cockpit. Why are you going to Paris?
Imagine if they were metal.
- Do me a favor and return it for me? - Okay.
And Peter?
Take it slow.
Where did they dig you up?
You're gonna find this hard to believe but ahh..
you sent me.
You and Charles,
from the future.
How did you lose them?
The treatment for my spine affects my DNA.
You sacrificed your powers so you could walk?
I sacrificed my power so that I could st..
What do you know about it?
- I lost my fair share. - Hah..
Dry your eyes. Erik.
It doesn't justify what you've done.
You've no idea what I've done.
I know that you took the things that mean the most to me.
Well maybe you should have fought harder for them.
- Do you want to fight, Erik? - I'll give you a fight!!
- Let him come. - You abandoned me!
You took her away and you abandoned me!
Angel.
Azazel.
Emma.
Banshee.
Mutant brothers and sisters - all dead!
Countless others..
experimented on, butchered..
Erik!
Where were you, Charles?
We were supposed to protect them!
Where were you when your own people needed you?!
Hiding!
You and Hank, pretending to be something you're not!
Erik.
You abandoned us all!
So you were always an asshole.
I take it we're best buddies in the future.
I spent a lot of years trying to bring you down, bub.
How's that work out for you?
- You're like me.
You're a survivor.
You wanna pick all that shit up?
General, maybe you should slow down. We have a big day tomorrow.
We're celebrating, captain. It's not ever day you win a war,
let alone against the American devils.
I'm getting another bottle.
Excuse me.
I'm pretty sure it was my fault.
You speak Vietnamese.
I'm an interpreter.
I speak many tongues.
Let me buy you another drink...
unless you're here with someone.
I'm alone.
You're going to the summit tomorrow?
A pretty girl interested in politics...
Looks can be deceiving.
Indeed.
Show me more ...baby?
Clothes ...off?
What's the matter, 'baby'?
You don't think I look pretty like this?
Fancy a game? It's been a while.
I'm not in the mood for games, thank you.
I haven't had a real sip in 10 years.
I didn't kill the President.
The bullet curved, Erik.
Because I was trying to save him.
They took me out before I could.
- Why would you try and save him? - Because, he was one of us.
You must think me so foolish.
You always said they would come after us.
I never imagined they'd use Raven's DNA to do it.
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, she 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.
I'll go easy on you.
Might finally be a fair fight.
You have the first move.
The diplomats from all around the world, arriving here today at the
Hotel Royale.
It's a historic day as the official ending of
the United States' military involvment in Vietnam.
There we have the South Vietnamese foreign minister
with other South Vietnamese dignitaries,
The summit doesn't begin for another hour.
The hotel's arranged a private room upstairs for your ..special guest.
That'll be plenty of time.
Good afternoon, everyone. Hello.
Thank you 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.
I call them "Sentinels."
Named after the ancient guardians that 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 2000 rounds per minute of thermo-ceramic ammunition.
But size, power, speed...
you can 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's 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.
Unless...
there's a mutant.
There has to be some kind of mistake.
My machines don't make mistakes.
What are you?
I assure you,
I ..
No. Don't shoot him.
I assure you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Raven!
Raven?
Raven.
Raven!
Raven?
Charles?
We've come for you. Erik and I.
Together.
I never thought I would see you again.
I made you a promise a long time ago that I would protect you.
I didn't. And I know...
Wolverine!
I'm going to keep you safe. I'm going to keep you out of their hands.
Erik.
What are you doing?
Securing our future.
Forgive me, Mystique.
As long as you're out there, we'll never be safe.
Erik.
- Use your power, Charles. Stop him. - I..
He can't.
He's slipping! He's slipping back!
I'm losing him!
Striker!
So we will finish what we started, Wolverine! One day!
Kitty!
Restrain him.
Erik!
Where am I?
Huh?
How the hell did I get here?
What? You came to us.
- Who are you? - Charles.
Charles Xavier.
- I don't know you. - Ahh?
- What the hell is that? - Whoa whoa..
Ho! I can deal with this.
Just go. Stop Erik!
Erik!
I'm sorry.
Erik.
You're Logan. That's Hank McCoy.
I'm Charles Xavier.
You spent the last couple of days with us.
You're on Acid.
Somebody gave you really bad acid.
Yeah?
Just hold on tight. We'll get through this together.
- Oh God! - Kitty.
She's wounded pretty bad!
I got him.
Professor?
What happened to you?
I just saw someone who's going to bring me a lot of pain someday.
Where is Raven?
Gone.
- What? - We have to get out of here.
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 correspondant Toby Elliot,
reporting from the Paris Peace Summit yesterday.
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?'
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 service man.
Even you Mr. President.
She can walk into this office and order a nuclear strike,
if she was in the mood.
And that's only two of them.
Well, 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.
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 wanna 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.
Whatever you need.
Oh and one more thing. If we do manage to capture them,
I would like her.. for research purposes of course.
Terrible thing.
What is?
Being born like that.
Is it?
Can you imagine...
looking in the mirror and seeing that staring back at you?
Yes, I can.
Where do you think she comes from?
You think she has a family?
Yes. She does.
If I see so much as a screw, I'll 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?
I 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 is 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's Raven?
Or are you Mystique?
Trask is the enemy.
Killing one man isn't enough.
It never was for you.
Goodbye, Erik.
What happened?
Can he walk?
He needs his treatment.
Hank, I can hear them!
- It's OK. I'll get it! - Can you make it stop?
Hey! Hey! Pull yourself together.
It's not over yet.
You don't believe that.
How do you know?
As these go..
this ..comes back.
They all come back!
Look, I'm..
I'm still here.
She's still out there.
But we need your help, Charles.
Not like this. I need you.
We can't find Raven..
not without your powers.
I added a little extra cause you missed a dose.
Charles.
Hank, do me a favor.
Would you help me to my study, please?
C'mon, I got ya.
Are you sure about this?
Absolutely not.
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 10 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 50? 55000?
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, doctor, don't you?
On the contrary, I rather admire them. The things they can do.
I see mutants as our salvation.
And common enemy.
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.
Attention! Attention!
Transport departure in two hours.
Repeat: Transport departure begins in two hours.
When was the last time you were down here?
- Last time we went looking for students. - A lifetime ago.
Welcome, Professor.
Raven's wounded. She won't be moving fast.
These are muscles I haven't stretched in a long time.
God!
- No! - Who are you?
Charles!
Charles! It's alright.
I'll go check the generator.
It's not the machinery, is it?
- I can't do this. My mind... - Yes, you can.
- ..it won't take it. - It's just a little rusty.
Don't you understand? It's not a question of being rusty.
I can flip the switches. I can turn the knobs.
But my power comes from here comes from ..
..and it's broken.
I feel like one of my students.
Helpless.
It was a mistake coming down here. It was a mistake freeing Erik.
This whole thing has been one bloody mistake!
I'm sorry, Logan! But they sent back the wrong man!
You're right.
I am.
Actually, it was supposed to be you.
But I was the only one who could physically make the trip.
And uh, I don't know how long I've got here.
But I do know that a long time, actually..
a long time from now,
I was your most helpless student.
And you unlocked my mind.
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.
Look into my mind.
You saw what I did to Cerebro.
You don't want me inside your head.
There's no damage you can do that hasn't already been done. Trust me.
Hey.
- Hey Logan. - Hey Jean.
- Kill me. - I love you.
You're a..
poor man.
Look past me.
No, I don't want your suffering! I don't want your future!
Look -past- my future.
Look for your future.
That's it.
Charles.
So this is what becomes of us?
Erik was right.
Humanity does this to us.
Not if we show them a better path.
You still believe?
Just because someone stumbles, loses their way,
it doesn't mean they're lost forever.
Sometimes we all need a little help.
Oh, I'm not the man I was.
I opened 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
yhat 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 from the most human power.
Hope.
Please,
Charles,
we need to ..hope, again.
Find what you were looking for?
Power is back on.
Yes.
Yes it is.
She's lost too much blood.
- She can't keep going like this - We have no choice, Bobby.
We can wake him up.
No!
They need more time.
I had a glimpse into the past.
If we wake Logan now, we may set off on an even darker course.
They need more time.
Raven. Stop.
Stop running.
Charles?
Where are you?
Back at the house,
where you should be.
I need you to come home.
I know what I need to do.
If you kill Trask
you'll be creating countless more just like him.
Then I'll kill them, too.
Those are Erik's words, not yours.
The girl I grew up with wasn't capable of killing.
She was good, fair, full of compassion.
I have compassion, just not for Trask.
He's murdered too many of us.
Shut her down, Charles. Get in her head.
She's not letting me in. I'm barely holding on.
I'm not strong enough yet.
I know what Trask has done.
But killing him will not bring them back.
It will set you on a path from which there is no return.
An endless cycle of killing,
us and them,
till there is nothing left.
But we can stop it right now,
you and I.
You just have to come home.
I have to.
You haven't changed at all, Charles.
Like I said,
I know exactly what I have to do.
Where is she?
She's at an airport, boarding a plane.
Plane to where?
Washington D.C.
Hey guys.
There's something I need to show to you.
We're going backwards in time.
This is 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'll be joined by Secretary of Defense, Blair,
and has even sought the help of renowned scientist, Bolivar Trask,
his 'Special Adviser' to combat this mutant issue.
The White House has asked...
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 need..
..to create the Sentinels of the future.
Now, there's a theory in quantum physics that time is immutable.
It's like a river. You can throw a pebble into it,
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 that is who she is.
Ready the plane. We're going to Washington.
You alright?
Getting there.
Whatever happens today, I need you to promise me something.
You looked into my mind and you've 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's so many of us.
We will need you, Professor.
I will do my best.
Your best is enough.
Trust me.
There's 12 carriers inbound - 10 miles!
They found us.
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.
Can I see your invitations, please?
Yes you may..
These two are with me.
- Go ahead. - Thank you.
- Logan.
Please, this way, sir.
It's fine...
I haven't found her yet, but she has to be here.
The President of the United States.
My fellow Americans,
today we face the greatest threat in our history.
Mutants.
-I'm pregnant-
We have prepared for this threat.
In the immortal words of Robert Oppenheimer.
Behold..
the world will never be the same again.
Can I help you?
No, you can't.
Here they come.
-This for you, brothers and sisters.-
Raven!
I have her!
Let me go, Charles!
There! You see?
Secret service man, left of the stage.
- Got it. - Go!
What the hell are you doing?
I didn't tell you to activate it.
I didn't.
Raven, please listen to me.
We've been given a second chance to define who we are.
Don't do this.
Gentlemen, you cannot pass this point.
We can't stop that many.
No.
But we can slow them down.
Erik!
Move it! C'mon, let's go!!
Storm!
Take us to DEFCON 3. Mr. President, we are Code Red.
Air defense ready now.
What the hell happened out there?
I will fix it!
You said that before!
I wanted to make a statement!
Now the whole goddamn world knows we can't protect them!
I will fix it.
You damn well better!
Charles!
Is everybody okay?
Noo!
Behind you!
Now!
I'm probably not supposed to ask this kind of a thing,
but in the future, do I make it?
No.
But we can change that, right?
Do what you were made for.
Mutants.
Where are you?
I got this! Go!
Oh, dear god, no.
So much for being a survivor.
One of them is in here.
No! No! No!
Don't kill it.
I need it alive.
What the hell has happened?
You built these weapons to destroy us.
Why?
Because you're afraid of our gifts.
Because we are different.
Humanity has always feared that which is different.
But I'm here to tell you, tell the world,
you're right to fear us.
We are the future!
We are the ones who will 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 in shame and fear for too long! Come out.
Join me! Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind.
A new tomorrow
that starts today.
All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles
To have a precious few of them back..
Mr. President.
Stand down! I said stand down!
You wanna 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.
You used to be a better shot.
Trust me, I still am!
Get out of my head, Charles!
Raven.
Please do not make us the enemy today.
Look around you we already are.
Not all of us.
All you've done so far
is save the lives of these men.
You can show them a better path.
Shut her down, Charles.
I've been trying to control you ever since the day we met,
and look what that's got us.
Everything that happens now
is in your hands.
I have faith in you, Raven.
He's all yours, Charles.
If you let them have me, I'm as good as dead!
You know that.
I know.
Goodbye, old friend.
Goodbye, Erik.
You sure you should've let them go?
Yes.
I have hope for them.
There's going to be a time, Hank,
when we're all together.
What about Logan?
Good morning, Logan. Late start. Hah hah hah.
Have a good lunch time. Good job.
- Thank you. - Very good job.
Storm.
Jean.
Hey, Logan.
Are you okay?
You're here.
Where else would I be?
Whoa.
Easy, pal.
Some things never change.
Good to see you, Scott.
Uh huh.
See you later, Jean.
Professor.
Logan.
Is everything alright?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it is.
You did it.
Did what?
Logan, don't you have a class to teach?
A class?
To teach. What?
History.
History?
History, I could use some help with that.
Help with what?
Pretty much everything after 1973.
I think history I know is little different.
Welcome back.
It's good to see you, Charles.
It's good to see everyone.
Well..
I had a promise to keep.
You and I have a lot of catching up to do.
Yeah..
What's the last thing you remember?
Drowning.
The past.
A new and uncertain world.
A world of endless possibilities
and infinite outcomes.
Can we?
Oh, he's alive!
He's breathing
Countless choices define our fate.
Each choice, each moment, a ripple in the river of time.
What do you want us to do with him, Major Striker?
Enough ripples and you change the tide.
I'll take him from here.
For the future is never truly set.
