Papers and passage for me.

Where is the gentleman going,

may I ask?

Don't matter, don't care.

I just saved his life, what

he does with it is up to him.

- Mystique, the mercenary.

- Don't call me that.

No matter how much you

pretend to be someone else,

Caliban knows who you are.

If there's anything worth knowing

about mutants, Caliban knows it.

Mystique.

Why don't you ask your psychics

what will happen if you keep pushing me.

What will happen?

Psylocke gets a little jealous.

- 'Cause Caliban likes you.

- Caliban likes money.

Caliban likes you so much,

he wants to give you free information.

About an old friend.

From back when you have friends.

Do you remember, Erik Lehnsherr?

My girls had a flash

of him in Poland.

He left quite a few

dead bodies in his wake,

including his wife and daughter.

Should be on the news soon enough.

But...

Caliban gives you a little head start.

How fast are you?

- How fast?

- How far can you cover?

Uh, as far as I can see,

- or if I've been there before.

- Come with me Crawler.

Actually it's Nightcrawler,

and my real name is...

... Kurt Wagner.

The lenses are made up of some

ruby quartz I have lying around.

They should be able to refract

your optic beams

and keep them contain

within their own vector fields.

Try them on.

Okay, go ahead.

Wait. Wait.

Sorry, no.

Okay.

- Now?

- Yeah, you're good.

Alright.

Whoa.

I can see.

Thank you.

Professor, thank you.

You're a genius.

No, I'm... not a professor.

I wish.

Who's that?

I believe you two have met,

that's Jean Grey.

You bumped into her

when you arrived.

- Wait, that's her?

- Yeah.

Hey.

You can see.

Yeah.

It's not as bad as I thought here.

- Freak.

- Some one should warn that new kid.

They're still scared of me.

Hey, I have special glasses now!

They're not scared of you,

they're scared of me.

You're not the only one who

can't full control your powers.

Wait, so...

Last night, when the house shook...

That was you?

Sorry to break it to you, but you are

not the biggest freak of this school.

Well.

That's a first.

Raven.

Wow.

Uh.

- I... You're...

- Not blue?

It's like you and I have

that in common now.

No. No, I meant...

You're...

You're back.

I never thought I would

see you here again.

Yeah, me neither.

I'm blue.

I'm Kurt.

Oh, right.

Kurt Wagner.

Welcome.

We're closed.

I knew I felt

a chill in the air.

How did you get in here?

We let ourselves in.

We are looking for mutants.

Since you know where to find them,

we came here.

Caliban doesn't know you.

We are looking for the strongest.

- Everything alright?

- I'm fine, Psylocke.

How much money do you have?

None.

Like Caliban said...

We are closed, yeah?

I need your help, my child.

You don't look Caliban's father.

Maybe a little bit up here.

You are all my children.

And you are lost, because

you follow blind leaders.

These false gods.

Systems of the weak.

They ruined my world...

... no more.

What do you want?

I want you...

To feel the full reach

of your power.

You've only have a taste

of your true strength.

Unlike others who seek to control you.

I want to set you free.

I know the kind of mutants

you are looking for.

And I know where to find them.

It's my first time in America.

I am very excited

to see your culture.

Well, you are not

going to see it here.

The only thing American about this place

is that it used to be British.

This is Scott.

He is new here too.

And I'm already up

for a prison break.

What do you say we take this

blue guy on a little field trip?

I'm sure there's a mall

around here somewhere.

What's a mall?

What's a mall? Alright.

Now it's a matter of national pride.

- Civic duty.

- Scott.

What? You've been cooped up

here for a long time.

And the Professor is not even home.

I-I like to go to the mall.

- Try it.

- Alright.

Where does he keep his cars?

Faire pisse.

Or should I say, "Piss off"?

- This is the guy?

- He used to be.

I didn't know his wings were...

Let's get out of here.

His fighting days are done.

No, they're not.

What the hell is this?

I want to give you something.

There is nothing you can

give me that I want.

Yes, there is.

Yes, my son.

Yes.

Rise, my angel.

Rise.

Hypersonic, blast resistance,

stealth technology.

That's impressive.

How are you ever gonna

get it out of here?

Well, that's okay. I built a

retractable roof into the basketball court.

Hank, you're building

a warplane down here.

After what happened in Washington,

I thought we would come back

to start the X-Men.

Like we always talked about, but...

Charles wants students

not soldiers.

He thinks the best of people.

He has hope.

And you?

You know, I think

we should hope for the best.

And prepare for the worst.

I think the world needs the X-Men.

Maybe, now that you're back

you can help me convince him

- ... we can start it together.

- Hank, I'm here about Erik.

Right. Erik.

Yeah, of course.

Of course.

I think he might be in

some kind of trouble.

Real trouble.

Isn't he always?

Some of you spoke to the police...

About what your believed

you witnessed here yesterday.

You want to know my past?

Know who I am?

See what I can do?

I'll show you.

Think about the person

you love most in your life.

Your wife.

Mother.

Daughter.

Now that person will know what

it is to lose someone they love.

And live with that pain.

- Forever.

- Henryk, please.

Don't do it.

My name isn't Henryk.

My name is Magneto.

Who the f*** are you?

Stay back.

Whoever you are,

don't try to stop me

from killing these men.

I'm not here for them.

I'm here for you.

Come and see.

This is where your power was born.

And this is where your

people were slaughtered.

You shouldn't have brought me here.

Why?

Are you afraid to be here?

You can't escape it, Erik.

Who are you?

Elohim, Shen, Ra.

I've been called many names

over many lifetimes.

I am born of death.

I was there to spark and fan

the flame of man's awakening,

to spin the wheel of civilization.

And when the forest would grow rank

and in need of clearing for new growth...

I was there to set it ablaze.

Where were you?

When my father and mother

were slaughtered in this place?

Asleep.

Trapped in darkness.

I was not there for you, my son.

But I am here now.

You don't know your own strength,

but I do.

Reach down.

Feel the metal in the ground.

Reach, as deep as you can.

You'll find you have the power

to move the very Earth itself.

Everything they've built will fall!

And from the ashes of their world,

we'll build a better one!

Lehnsherr was identified yesterday

in this small town, in central Poland.

Leaders from all communities are

urging their citizens to remain calm

as police and armed forces

are mobilizing

to find Lehnsherr before

he can strike again.

If anyone has information about Lehnsherr,

or as he is also known as Magneto.

Contact you local authorities immediately.

And proceed with caution.
