I'll put in the coordinates.

I got to get out of here

and give them a report.

What?

What is it?

Something happened here,

I can tell it's real.

- It's her.

- Who?

- Moira.

- What?

- Moira MacTaggert?

- Mm-hm.

- And give me the details?

- Well, she looks amazing.

- She's barely aged a day.

- No. I meant...

What is she doing there?

What's the CIA doing with this?

She's going back to Langley

to deliver a report.

I'm going to go there,

see if she knows something

about the tremor.

You'll wind up seeing Moira.

I want to go check her out,

check out... the situation.

Moira MacTaggert.

It's like a ghost from the past.

You did a good thing,

you saved that man.

That's not the point.

If I'm exposed,

we're all exposed.

We have to go.

This is our home.

This is our daughter's home.

We are our home.

I told you who I was,

the first night I met you.

I trusted you then.

I need you to trust me now.

We can't stay here anymore.

I'll get Nina.

Sweetheart?

She's not in her room.

And I don't see her

at the back.

- Nina!

- Nina!

- Nina!

- Nina!

Nina!

Nina.

Are you okay?

She is fine.

- Then, let her go.

- We will.

We just wanted to talk.

You are not wearing your badges.

No metal.

Some men from the factory said

they saw something today.

Something that made no sense.

Keep your weapons.

You have been a good citizen, Henryk.

A good neighbor, good worker.

- I believe you are.

- He is.

But nobody in town

really knows who you are.

Everyone knows.

I'm Henryk Gurzsky.

Jacob, I even had dinner at his house.

And you lied all the time.

I let a murderer in my house

Is that you?

Are you the one called Magneto?

I surrender.

Please.

Let my daughter go.

Go with your mother.

Please!

Don't leave me.

- I'm not going to let them take you.

- Nina.

Nina.

Nina.

Nina.

Please!

What's happening?

She is one of them.

Please.

Make her stop.

She can't control them.

- Nina.

- Please.

She's frightened.

I'm not letting them take you!

I'm not letting them take you!

Make it stop!

Nina.

No.

No, Nina!

.

Nina?

Nina.

No.

Don't...

Please. Please. Please.

What have you done?

Not my babies.

Not my babies.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME?

Is this what I am?

Is this what I am?

You know what we do with thieves?

Choose a hand.

Enough.

If you are with her,

I suggest you go away.

Go away.

Who rules this world?

What language is that?

Clown!

What do you want?

Go away!

Sorry.

Sorry.

You feel it, don't you?

Now, you feel it.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

So, you really haven't

seen her in all these years?

You never looked her up?

Not even in Cerebro?

Alex.

Who do you take me for?

Some kind of pervert?

I...

Yes, I looked her up once.

Twice.

But, not in a long time. Alright?

How'd you leave things?

- Any hard feelings?

- Not likely.

Everybody take a break.

I wiped her mind off

all memories of us.

The beach, Cuba,

that whole time.

It's so long ago, Alex.

Before the world knew about mutants,

I have felt...

it was the best thing for her.

And for you?

It didn't really matter

what's best for me.

Moira MacTaggert.

Hello.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Professor...

Charles Xavier

- I know exactly who you are

- You do?

Of course I do.

I've read all of your papers.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

- Moira MacTaggert.

- Alex Summers.

Have a seat.

Just, throw that on the floor.

It's wonderful to see you again.

To-To meet you again

for the first time.

I...

You got a son?

- Yes.

- Does he have a husband or...

Do you have a husband?

I had a husband, but...

It's hard to do this job and

make it home in time for dinner.

Good.

Good.

We all make choices, right?

Yes, we do.

- Professor.

- Yes?

Yes. I was... we were hoping

that you would tell us about

what happened yesterday in Egypt.

I'm afraid that's classified information.

And, I don't mean to be rude,

but...

How did you get in here?

I have level 5 clearance.

Ever since the world found out

about mutants in '73,

there have been cults who see them

as some kind of second coming

or sign of god.

I was tracking one of them.

They called themselves,

Ashir En Sabah Nur,

named after an ancient being

they believed to be the world's first.

The world first's what?

The world's first mutant.

I thought mutants didn't

evolve until this century

That's the common theory, yes.

But, these guys believe that

the first mutant was born

ten of thousands of years ago.

And they believe he will rise again.

They've been searching ancient sites

all round the world for clues.

These hieroglyphs described a specific set

of powers greater than any man can possess.

They think he lived all that time?

Yes and no.

They believe he had the ability

to transfer his consciousness

from body to body,

and whenever he was close to death

he would just take on a new body.

So, these may have been the bodies of

mutants enabling him to take their powers

amassing varies abilities over the years.

- An all powerful mutant.

- Exactly.

And wherever this being was,

he always had 4 principle followers.

Disciples.

Protectors he would imbue their powers.

Like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

- He got that one from the Bible.

- Or the Bible got it from him.

And wherever he ruled,

eventually, it would end in disaster.

Cataclysm.

Some kind of... Apocalypse.

The end of the world.

I must say, Apollo.

The way you ape

human behavior is remarkable.

Get out.

Come one.

Come on.

Come on.

I've never seen another

mutant in this city.

Do you speak Egyptian?

Arab?

English?

Great fighter.

She's my hero.

I want to be like her.

There's some food here,

not much.

I don't believe it.

You love me.

Love you?

Be logical.

I'm not some simple

shepherdess you can awe.

Why, I could no more love you than

I could love a new species of...

Bacteria.

What are you doing?

Learning.

In the streets there is outrage against

the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan...

The brotherhood of our kind.

One of them was held in Boston.

Since the act in the nuclear weapons,

the United States does not start fights...

Weapons.

Never before has man

possess so much power.

With Soviet Union and the

United States being superpowers...

Superpowers.

The weak have taken the Earth.

For this, I was betrayed.

False gods.

Idols.

No more.

I have returned.

The new tomorrow,

that starts today.

Where did you come from?

The time before man lost his way.

Well.

Welcome to the 80s.

This world needs to be...

Purged.

What?

Saved.

You can't save the world,

just going around killing people.

There's laws, system and place

for that kind of thing.

My child, why do you enslave yourself?

- What are you doing?

- Making you stronger.

My goddess.

Yes.

You were right.

The time has passed.

There is no room for gods.

- Why can't I go with you.

- I told you, I work alone.

Wait there.

Always good to see your face,

even if it's not yours.
