[opening title music]
We'll never forget what you did for us, Duke.
We're standing here because of you, buddy.
[sighs] Sleep well, soldier.
Your brothers-in-arms salute you.
Now, come on guys.
I know a little bistro near here.
First round's on--
Him?
Nah, it can't be.
Well, I'll be... It is you.
-How are you, you old war-- -Something I can do for you, bub?
Sorry, pal.
Thought you were somebody I knew there for a second,
A guy I served with back in the big one.
We're doing our 50th.
There's no way you could be old enough.
He sure could have been your father or something.
Yeah, or something.
Well, sorry to have bothered you, pal.
You take care now, hear?
Yeah, Ernie. You, too.
I'd love to join you at that bistro,
but I don't think you'd quite understand.
Guys like him were worth 1,000 of you, old man.
Real red-blooded heroes.
How dare you kick it before I could get my hands on you?
You cheated me, old man!
Cheated me of vengeance!
Cheated me of justice!
It ain't fair.
You stole the joy of Paris from me forever.
[air-raid siren blaring]
And in 1944 in Paris,
there wasn't all that much joy to be had.
I was working for the Intelligence boys at OSS back then,
doing whatever kind of black bag work needed doing.
That night I was taking a quiet little stroll through Montmartre.
Uncle Adolf's goose-stepping goons had the place sealed tight.
[grunts]
Oh...
Achtung.You on the roof. Surrender immediately.
Come down now or we open fire.
[Wolverine] Not a real auspicious beginning.
You have five seconds.
Come down now.
[pigeon cooing]
[Nazi counting in German]
Look! Ein Vogel.
[both laughing]
Maybe it's an Amerikanerspy.
[sniffing]
[groans]
[grunts]
[air-raid siren blaring]
The night has eyes.
But the eyes of liberty never sleep.
Enter quickly, Monsieur.
Welcome, Monsieur. I am Justine.
Freedom has need of you.
When hasn't it? And the name is Logan.
[Justine] Time is precious.
Careful, kid.
[sniffing]
We ain't alone here.
[Sawyer] Your senses are as good
as they claim, short stuff.
Happy Sawyer. Am I right?
Captain Sawyer to you, mister.
Only my men get to call me Happy.
Yeah, I can see why.
Here, take a look at these.
This place is called the Chateau du Mort.
Andre Cocteau, a scientist essential to our side
is being held here by the enemy.
The chateau is on a remote mountain top,
almost inaccessible by normal means.
Your assignment is to get Cocteau out of there,
or if you can't, to silence him.
No problem.
Your backup will meet you en route.
Backup? I work solo, pal.
Trust me, Logan.
This guy you'll like.
Fine. If that's all, I got me a mountain to tame.
Monsieur,wait.
Moment, s'il vous plait?
There is one thing more
you should know about Andre Cocteau.
Yeah, what's that?
He is my father.
Oh, great.
Bonne chance, mon ami.
Please be careful.
Petite,careful's my middle name.
[Wolverine] Sure, I didn't feel any better about the job than she did
but a lot of getting through a war is pretending.
Halt.
[speaking French]
You should have thought of that before you broke curfew.
-Hey! -[both grunting]
[thud]
Filthy Schwein.
-We will... -[grunting]
Yeah? You and what army?
Okay, stupid question.
[grunts]
[all grunting]
Hey, what's wrong, punks?
-Run out of kids to rough up? -[gun clicks]
-[grunts] -[gunshots fired]
[clunks]
[thuds]
Need a little help, friend?
[speaking German]
Put him down like the dog he is.
Better men than you have tried
and all of them have failed.
[grunts]
[Nazis groaning]
Guess we made our point.
But our job isn't done.
Here, son. I believe this is yours.
[speaking French]
If I have anything to say about it.
That'll bring reinforcements.
-Better make ourselves scarce. -Agreed.
By the way, if you're Logan, I'm your backup.
I'm Captain America.
Really? I never would have guessed.
[Wolverine] I couldn't believe it.
Mister USA, rubber suit and all.
Sawyer was right. This partner I liked.
[Captain] Intelligence was accurate.
The place is sealed tight.
We'll need a can opener to get inside.
No can opener, but these might do.
Handy little gimmick.
Still, this climb won't be easy.
Hey, if it was easy, anyone could do it.
-[Captain] I like your style. -[clanking]
Wish I could say the same.
Where'd you get that star-spangled monkey suit?
Fatigues would be a lot less obvious.
But I'm more than just a soldier, Logan.
This costume makes me a living symbol of everything we're fighting for.
A symbol of pride, of hope.
You wouldn't catch me in something like that.
It's gotta itch.
[grunting] We're up. Next step is in.
Looks like it's going to be clear-- Hey!
[exclaims]
-[thump] -[groans]
Argh!
[slash]
You were saying?
You know, these things ain't half bad.
[sniffing]
Try this one. Smells like fear.
[grunts]
-[clunking] -[both] Argh!
[speaking French]
[stutters] Who are you?
We're friends, Professor. We've come to take you out of here.
Better hustle, before any more of your buddies wander in.
No, I cannot.
Please, leave me alone.
Come on, Professor. Your daughter is waiting to see you again.
There's no need to be frightened.
It's our job to keep you safe.
No, you do not understand.
You must leave me here before...
[groans]
We got no time to argue.
What did you do to him?
Just something I learned before the war.
Don't worry. He'll be fine.
[groaning]
Wha--What happened?
Sorry, but it was for your own good.
We're getting you out of here before--
[Nazi speaking German]
[Wolverine] Not again.
-[Nazis groaning] -[thud]
[gasps]
[clunking]
[Alarm blaring]
Please, just go.
Not without you.
We've only got seconds before this whole place is crawling with...
-[groans] -[guns click]
Guess again.
You goons want the Prof back,
you got to come through us.
[footsteps approaching]
Forget it, Logan. We can't risk them harming the Professor.
I'd just like to get my hands
on whoever set off that lousy alarm.
[Skull] But you've already had your chance, little man.
Who the...
[Captain] Red Skull, you butcher.
My dear Kapitan. You flatter me.
Thank you for setting off that alarm, Professor.
You are truly a credit to our cause.
I don't know why you ratted on us, Cocteau,
but I sure wanted five minutes alone with you
to show you what I thought about it.
Fascinating toy, this.
I've always wanted to see
if it truly is as indestructible as they say.
Perhaps later we shall find out.
Red Skull, wait. What about Cocteau?
Forget him, Kapitan.
He is one of us now.
And you have more immediate concerns.
[chuckles]
[Captain] [grunts] We don't have much time to get out of here.
Any bright ideas how?
If only I had my shield.
Oh, is that all?
No sweat.
[grunting]
I've had a harder time
opening cans of tuna, pal.
Better get ready, glory boy. Here goes nothing.
[grunts]
[slash]
[smash]
Guess that makes us even.
-You know what I liked about this setup? -Do tell.
The odds are about 100 to one against us.
They don't have a chance.
How are you progressing, HerrProfessor?
The prototype sleeper robot will be ready for testing
in a matter of hours, MonsieurSkull.
Convincing you to join our cause
is perhaps my greatest triumph.
And to think I once doubted your loyalty.
[Captain] Seems we underestimated the good doctor.
You again!
You two do this often?
Yeah, but this will be the last time.
[snaps fingers]
[guns click]
-Get rid of them. -[gunshots]
-[grunts] -Bad idea, goose-steppers.
[both grunting]
[all grunting]
-[grunting] -[groaning]
-[growls] -[slash]
Logan, I think you actually enjoy this.
[smack]
Enough. I will tolerate no more.
Who gave you a choice?
-[clunks] -[Skull] Argh!
You handle the rest.
Red Skull is mine.
[speaking German]
This day has been too long in coming.
[grunting]
[groans]
[grunting]
[Nazis groaning]
HerrProfessor, the control, schnell.
MonsieurSkull.
Professor!
Fool! Must I do everything myself?
You were curious about Dr. Cocteau's work, Kapitan.
[powering up]
The Sleeper has awakened.
The Sleeper, eh?
Looks more like a nightmare.
[Captain] Move!
[bullets firing]
Argh!
[laughing]
[bullets firing]
[grunting]
[all yelling]
[grunts]
[slash]
Now it's my turn.
[bullets firing]
[grunting and yelling]
[grunting continuously]
[blades screeching]
[grunting]
Yo, Cap!
Done.
[smash]
[short circuit]
Argh!
-[thud] -[boom]
[shield clunking]
The bigger they come...
[speaking German]
[both grunting]
Come, HerrProfessor.
It is time to take our leave.
No! You won't get away again, Skull.
No! [shouting]
-[both grunting] -[crash]
Tit for tat, glory boy.
Thanks, but we're not done yet.
[crash]
[grunts]
[grunts] Any sign of him?
There!
Come on.
No! [shouting]
Argh! [shouting]
Farewell, Herr Kapitan. Until we meet again.
[both grunting]
[exclaims]
I promise you, Skull.
There will be a next time.
Hey, Cap, you and the Canuck okay?
Good as can be expected, Sarge.
Thanks for the timely assist.
You couldn't have picked a better time to hit the chateau.
Well, that's one base Uncle Adolf's brain trust
won't be using again.
What are you two so happy about?
From where I stand, our mission failed.
We were supposed to get Cocteau.
Instead, we lose the little rat and the Skull.
Logan, their robot project has been shut down.
A major lab is destroyed.
We take what we can get in this war.
Yeah, well, my war ain't over
until I find Cocteau and make him pay
for betraying us.
I never saw you again.
And now I never will.
How could they bury a back-stabber like you
on this hallowed ground?
Because sadly, mon ami,
you do not know the whole story.
Justine?
Oui, mon ami.
Oh, the years have been kind to you.
And to you, petite.
It is good to see you again, Logan.
I don't know why.
It's been over 50 years,
and all I can think about is getting back at your father.
I understand. So did he.
Sadly it was his duty to betray you.
What?
My father was no traitor,
but a carefully placed double agent
working for the allies.
But if he was on our side,
why were we sent to rescue him?
To risk our lives?
To make his defection appear
more convincing, mon ami.
Thanks to your failed rescue,
my father worked behind enemy lines
for the rest of the war, sabotaging their research.
He delayed completion of their V2 rockets.
He helped stop their atomic bomb.
In his own way, he helped us win the war.
Oh, I don't know what to say.
They were terrible times, mon ami.
We all played different roles.
Thank you for playing your part.
Now, come,
I know of a little bistro near here.
We can dine and remember old times.
Sounds great, petite. Just give me a moment.
Something I got to do first.
Come on, I think it's time we drank us a toast
to your old man's memory.
