Just about a half a gallon left. 4 00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:40,673 Hey, intruders. 5 00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:45,178 Nice try. Nothing behind me but the wall. Is that the Brotherhood? 6 00:00:45,245 --> 00:00:49,682 Come on. Let's chase them off before they trip an alarm and wake everyone up. 7 00:01:04,063 --> 00:01:04,831 A-ha! 8 00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:08,768 Who are you? 9 00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:38,258 -Who sent you? -Please don't hurt us. We're busted. 10 00:02:38,324 --> 00:02:39,893 What are you doing out here? 11 00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:47,467 -I don't believe this. -You'd better take off now! 12 00:02:47,534 --> 00:02:51,437 -You're all freaks! -Yeah!

But I would probably do the same thing. 19 00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:22,135 After all, I promised them their children would be safe here. 20 00:03:22,201 --> 00:03:24,571 Obviously, that hasn't been the case. 21 00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:26,239 This is my fault. 22 00:03:26,306 --> 00:03:29,709 I should've caught Mystique's scent when she was here posing as you. 23 00:03:29,776 --> 00:03:33,913 And I should've sensed her in Wanda's hospital room before she abducted me. 24 00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:37,750 But the fact is, with her advanced shape-changing abilities, 25 00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:40,920 she's now able to conceal herself completely from us. 26 00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,722 Yeah. Well... 27 00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:47,226 I still should've known. I'm going for a ride, Charles. 28 00:03:48,027 --> 00:03:51,631 Attention, everyone.

The school board has agreed to let you all attend classes today, 34 00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:11,217 -provided no one uses their powers. -Just today? 35 00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:14,087 Yes. Because tonight they'll be voting on whether or not 36 00:04:14,153 --> 00:04:16,189 to impose a permanent mutant ban. 37 00:04:16,255 --> 00:04:19,359 You can see how important it is to be on your best behavior. 38 00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:25,298 Professor, I'm afraid to go back there. We don't fit in anymore. 39 00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,333 It won't be easy at first, Kitty. 40 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,739 But eventually you will be accepted. And this time, for all that you are. 41 00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:36,542 Oh, man! So we're still monsters? What is with that? 42 00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:41,047 Despite what they call us, we are people. It's time to remind them of it. 43 00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:43,816 You know, if they don't like us, that's their problem! 44 00:04:43,883 --> 00:04:47,854 Evan, what I'm saying is, let's just not give people a reason to fear us. 45 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,124 Hey, they named me "identity unknown." 46 00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:55,128 Yeah, look. The only pictures they have of you are blue and furry. 47 00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:59,399 That means no one has made the connection it's me. 48 00:04:59,465 --> 00:05:03,603 Yet. They will, Kurt. Especially the people who know you live here. 49 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:06,472 Yeah, but... but... 50 00:05:06,539 --> 00:05:09,142 You're right.

Professor-- 181 00:15:03,002 --> 00:15:06,038 Jean, it's important for them to hear from all sides. 182 00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:09,608 -We need the voice of a student up there. -I wish the others would get here. 183 00:15:09,675 --> 00:15:12,778 -I don't want to do this alone. -I'm sure they'll be along. 184 00:15:22,288 --> 00:15:26,225 Hey, Summers, we have some unfinished business. 185 00:15:26,292 --> 00:15:29,628 Oh, brother. Give the macho act a rest, will you? 186 00:15:29,695 --> 00:15:34,700 Hey, the rest of you go on inside. This is between me and him. 187 00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:38,003 -Man to man. -We're not going anywhere! 188 00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:40,639 I figured as much. 189 00:15:42,641 --> 00:15:44,443 Four of us and four of you. 190 00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:48,147 Only we ain't afraid to use our powers. 191 00:15:48,213 --> 00:15:51,283 So guess what happens now? 192 00:15:54,386 --> 00:15:56,255 Remember, no powers! 193 00:15:56,789 --> 00:16:00,059 This is the real you, isn't it? You're nothing but a hood! 194 00:16:02,995 --> 00:16:05,764 Right. I'll never be good enough for you! 195 00:16:17,009 --> 00:16:20,312 Uh, good evening. My name is Jean Grey. 196 00:16:20,946 --> 00:16:24,717 I suppose I can stand up here and recite the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments 197 00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:28,387 or quote some passionate speeches from famous civil rights leaders. 198 00:16:28,454 --> 00:16:30,923 But to be honest, I don't want to. 199 00:16:33,092 --> 00:16:36,829 Since this is personal, let's keep it personal. 200 00:16:36,895 --> 00:16:38,897 Now most of you have children 201 00:16:38,964 --> 00:16:42,801 and you love them for who they are not for what they can or can't do. 202 00:16:47,606 --> 00:16:51,076 There is a chance that one of them will have an advanced X-gene. 203 00:16:51,143 --> 00:16:53,812 And as they grow older, they will be considered mutants. 204 00:16:58,450 --> 00:17:01,787 You will love them anyway. But people will hate them. 205 00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:03,956 And people will want to hurt them. 206 00:17:05,357 --> 00:17:09,628 You will hope for the day when your child can live in a safe world. 207 00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:13,165 Well, that world must begin now, with you, 208 00:17:13,232 --> 00:17:16,902 by allowing mutants to attend public school. Thank you. 209 00:17:30,182 --> 00:17:32,418 Oh, great! Avalanche! 210 00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:36,455 That's it! Rock their world! 211 00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:12,057 You see? Mutants are not only dangerous, but uncontrollable! 212 00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:15,928 -This is what is in store for our school! -Look again. 213 00:18:15,994 --> 00:18:18,464 Despite the overwhelming urge to use their powers, 214 00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:20,499 my students are exhibiting self-control. 215 00:18:38,717 --> 00:18:39,985 We have to do something! 216 00:19:06,945 --> 00:19:09,414 Uh-oh. Let's get out of here. 217 00:19:17,222 --> 00:19:20,292 Why don't you shut this off and dazzle them with the real you? 218 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,995 One step at a time. 219 00:19:23,061 --> 00:19:26,698 Well, not quite the impression I was hoping to make. 220 00:19:41,246 --> 00:19:43,215 There a funeral I don't know about? 221 00:19:43,282 --> 00:19:46,952 You could say that. We dug our own graves last night. 222 00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,655 Before I announce the school board's decision, 223 00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:52,324 I would like to say how proud I am of all of you. 224 00:19:52,391 --> 00:19:55,327 How can you say that, Professor? We let you down. 225 00:19:55,394 --> 00:19:58,163 Yeah. It doesn't take a genius to know how they voted. 226 00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:02,334 You saved their lives. Jean inspired them with her sincerity. 227 00:20:02,401 --> 00:20:05,437 And as a result, they want to welcome you back. 228 00:20:06,138 --> 00:20:09,107 -Go figure. -Sorry, Professor. 229 00:20:09,174 --> 00:20:12,010 But it's a little of the "good news, bad news" kind of thing. 230 00:20:12,077 --> 00:20:17,849 I realize this is not an easy time for you. But please realize something. 231 00:20:17,916 --> 00:20:23,355 For whatever reason, you have been chosen to take the first step into this new world. 232 00:20:23,422 --> 00:20:28,193 To lead the way. To be a beacon of hope for mutants yet to come. 233 00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:31,930 This is not only a big responsibility, it is an honor. 234 00:20:32,698 --> 00:20:37,869 I'm always astonished at the wondrous things that can be built on the ashes of tragedy. 235 00:20:37,936 --> 00:20:41,306 For even in the face of bigotry and discrimination, 236 00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:44,376 the X-Men will endure.
