X-Men: Days of Future Past Page #5

Will they be back?"

And most importantly,

"Are they friend or foe?"

That was London correspondent

Toby Elliot...

reporting from the

Paris Peace Summit yesterday.

F*** me.

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 serviceman.

Even you,

Mr. President.

She could walk

into this office...

and order a nuclear strike

if she was in the mood.

And that's only

two of them.

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 want to 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.

I don't care who you screw,

as long as it's not me.

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 move,

I will 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?

We 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 was 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' Raven?

Or are you Mystique?

Trask is the enemy.

Killing one man isn't enough.

It never was for you.

Goodbye, Erik.

What happened?

Come on.

Can he walk?

He needs his treatment.

Hank, I can hear them.

I know. It's okay.

Can you make it stop?

I'll get them.

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 still here...

and she's still out there.

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

because you missed a dose.

Charles.

Hank, do me a favor.

Would you help me

to my study, please?

Come on, I got you.

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 ten 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 fifty,

fifty-five thousand?

And 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, don't you?

On the contrary,

I rather admire them.

The things they can do.

I see mutants

as our salvation.

A common enemy.

A 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 in two hours.

When was the last time

you were down here?

The 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.

Charles!

Charles!

Charles? It's all right.

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.

You're just a little rusty.

You don't 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.

It 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...

And I don't know

how long I've got here.

But I do know that

a long time ago...

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.

Hmm.

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.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, Logan.

Hi, Jean.

Kill me.

I love you.

You poor, 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.

That's it.

That's it.

Charles.
