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?

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 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.

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've 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.

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.

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?

Uh, JFK.

He killed...

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.

We don't have any

resources to get us in.

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.

He could get into anywhere.

I just don't know how the hell

we're gonna find him.

Is Cerebro

out of the question?

If only you guys

had Internet.

What's "Internet?"

We have a phonebook.

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.

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.

- Here, here, here.

- Where?

Just stop here.

All right, all right.

Next time I'm driving.

Don't get used to it.

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.

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!

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.

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.

So, who are you?

What do you want?

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.

That's cool,

but it's disgusting.

Built in 1943, the Pentagon is the

world's largest office building...

housing more than

25,000 military employees...

stretched over six

million square feet.

Where's the bathroom?

He always needs to pee!

Yeah, we're getting

broadcast signal down here.

What's going on?

Damn it, call Maintenance,

get them down here.

...fought for and captured the island

of Iwo Jima from the Japanese Empire.

Now, this month-long battle...

included some of

the fiercest fighting

during World War

II in the Pacific...

In three 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 whiplash.

What?

Whiplash.

Don't move!

You're

good, it'll pass.

It happens with everyone.

You must have done

something pretty serious.

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.

Sh*t.

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.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

this is a Code Red situation.

We are evacuating

the entire floor...

so that my associate and I...

can, uh, secure the prison.

Who are you?

We're special operations,

CB...

FB-CID.

Perhaps you didn't hear me

when first I spoke...

but it is imperative

that you understand...

we're in a complete

lockdown 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.

I'm 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 them, Charles.

I can't.

Hands up!

No!

If I could save time

in a bottle

The first thing

that I'd like to do

Is to save every day

Till eternity passes away

Just to spend them with you

If I could make days

last forever

If words could make

wishes come true

I'd save every day

Like a treasure and then

Again,

I would spend them with you

But there never seems

to be enough time

To do the things
