[Warren] I'm not here. Leave a message.

[woman] Warren, if you're there,
please pick up.
6
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:35,735
Dad and I just wanted to say
"Hi" from London
7
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:38,238
and let you know that
we're thinking about you.
8
00:00:38,304 --> 00:00:40,473
Please call, dear.
We're worried about you.
9
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,376
Once again, we understand
that a disabled woman
10
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:45,478
is still inside this burning building.
11
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:50,183

but unsuccessful attempts to reach her.

Let me save her! Please!

-How did you get here?
-An angel, honey.
24
00:02:06,192 --> 00:02:09,629

You're welcome.

How cute. Thank you so much.

-Hey, get away!

00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:52,298
-Ah, to be young again.
-Yeah. Glad that's over.
38
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:56,135
You know, Logan, you're welcome
to spend the holidays here with us.
39
00:03:56,202 --> 00:04:00,673
Thanks, but I got some
important things to catch up on.
40
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:05,345
It's sure gonna be lonely around here
when all these guys leave tomorrow.
41
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:07,080
Yeah, really.
42
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:11,985
But it could be fun, you know?
Just us, the prof, Mr. McCoy.
43
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:13,620
Hey, I got something for you.
44
00:04:13,686 --> 00:04:16,756
I know it's early, but everyone else
is exchanging gifts today.

Oh, Rogue, uh, thanks.
46
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:21,594
Gee, I haven't gotten you
anything yet, but--
47
00:04:21,661 --> 00:04:23,830
Don't worry about it. There's still time.
48
00:04:23,896 --> 00:04:25,465
Go on, open it.

All right!
55

Who's up for helping the professor and me
install Cerebro's new security upgrades?
56
00:05:07,874 --> 00:05:11,744
[groans] I guess this is his idea of how
to have a fun holiday.

What is this? Put me down!
65
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:03,429
No, no! Don't drop me, please!
66
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:05,064
This ain't possible!
67
00:06:05,631 --> 00:06:09,602
Oh, please! No! No! No! Don't leave me here!
68
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:12,038
Please! I'll go straight! I'll go to church!

00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:13,940
Anything! Name it! Oh, please!
70
00:06:14,474 --> 00:06:17,043
He carried him off that way. I couldn't believe
it.
71
00:06:17,110 --> 00:06:20,213
I mean, wings and everything.
72
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,448
Wings, I'm telling you. It was an angel.
73
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:25,151
A real angel!

00:06:25,418 --> 00:06:26,552
[horse whinnies]
75
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,556
Look, it's him. I told you.
76
00:06:30,623 --> 00:06:33,760
Just like I said, an angel.
77
00:06:33,826 --> 00:06:36,929
Glory be, would you look at that.

[reporter 1] In a story with a great holiday
twist,
80
00:06:54,881 --> 00:06:59,318
a mugging was apparently thwarted
in Central Park today by an angel.
81
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:02,522
Eyewitnesses claim a winged man
flew down from the sky,
82
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,524
capturing the alleged thief.
83
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:07,693
His wings were beautiful
and he was so handsome.
84
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,864
[reporter 2] And so, Dr. Johnson,
you're saying these angel reports
85
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:14,667
are just another kind of UFO sighting?
86
00:07:14,734 --> 00:07:18,171
[Johnson] Yes. Stories like this
quickly take on a life of their own,
87
00:07:18,237 --> 00:07:20,439
growing more exaggerated
with each telling.
88
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:24,510
Soon you find otherwise rational people
seeing and believing very irrational things.
89
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:25,611
Repent!
90
00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:28,381
Repent!

[McCoy] "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers,
92
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:34,220
for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares."
93
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:36,422
-Shakespeare?
-The Bible.
94
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:40,993
Ah, indeed. Although I don't believe
this angel is of the heavenly variety.
95
00:07:41,527 --> 00:07:43,329
What, you think he's
some kind of demon?
96
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:45,231
Yeah, right.
97
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,867
"There are more things
in heaven and Earth, Horatio,
98
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:50,469
than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
99
00:07:50,536 --> 00:07:53,573
-Now, that's Shakespeare.
-Mm-hm.
100
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:57,343
No, Scott. I'm saying that if Cerebro
weren't still being repaired,
101
00:07:57,410 --> 00:08:00,580
we would certainly have gotten a reading
on this "angel" by now.
102
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:04,584
I fear his activities will alert the public
to the existence of mutants.
103
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:08,254
Someone should go to the city.
Perhaps we could recruit him.
104
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:11,624
Yeah, we could go!
I mean, you know, Scott and I.
105
00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:14,927
-I'm going nuts just sitting around here.
-All right.
106
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:17,496
Hank, could you compile a list
of all the angel sightings
107
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:20,032
with witnesses, addresses,
that sort of thing?
108
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:22,301
That should give these two
a place to start.
109
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,070
Yes!
110
00:08:25,471 --> 00:08:27,406

[inaudible dialogue]
112
00:08:43,322 --> 00:08:45,258
Mmm. This hits the spot.
113
00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:49,262
-My hands are freezing.
-This angel guy sounds pretty cool.
114
00:08:49,328 --> 00:08:52,331
Yeah, but I think the chances
of finding him are pretty slim.
115
00:08:52,398 --> 00:08:55,902
I know, but at least we got out
of the Institute.
116
00:08:55,968 --> 00:08:58,137
Hey, let's do something fun
while we're here.
117
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,641
-What do you say?
-Okay, sure. What did you have in mind?
118
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:05,211
Well, I saw this cool music store
on Fifth Avenue,
119
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,747
and you do still owe me a gift.
120
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:10,616
Okay, that'll do for starters.
121
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:13,853
Although shopping isn't exactly
my idea of fun.
122
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:16,589
-Rogue.
-Yes?
123
00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:20,593
These people we talked to today,
they really believe this angel is for real.
124
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,930
Do you think...?
I mean, is it possible that--?
125
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:27,099
Come on! You don't think-- You do.
126
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:28,768
Oh, wow.
127
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:31,304
Wow. Um.
128
00:09:31,837 --> 00:09:34,640
Scott, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...
129
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:37,209
Yeah, you're right.
130
00:09:37,276 --> 00:09:41,414
When I was a kid, after the plane crash,
I thought I'd lost everything:
131
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,151
My parents, my brother.
I just couldn't deal with it, you know?
132
00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:48,821
So I believed for a long time that Alex
must be out there somewhere
133
00:09:48,888 --> 00:09:51,257
with a guardian angel
looking out for him.
134
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:53,559
And after a while, I finally grew up.
135
00:09:53,626 --> 00:09:56,495
But when we found Alex again
after all these years,
136
00:09:56,562 --> 00:10:00,700
I kind of wonder if maybe somebody
was looking out for us after all.

[dramatic music playing]
151
00:11:43,602 --> 00:11:46,338
It's his fault.
He knocked the girl into the river.
152
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:49,375
-I saw him.
-[man] Yeah, I did too.
153
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:52,812
This guy's no angel.
He's just some kind of freak!

[all shouting indistinctly]

No, stop! Get back!

Did you see the news tonight?
159
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:19,038
They actually had pictures of the angel
at that accident on the Brooklyn Bridge.
160
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:22,174
I know. Can you believe it? He's for real!
161
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:24,477
Or else it's some incredible hoax.
162
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:32,952
We'll take good care of her.
Please, come with me now.

It's very important.

about praying at their church.

176
00:14:03,642 --> 00:14:06,879
Someone who used to be confused
about what he'd become.
177
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,749
Someone living in fear and self-pity,
178
00:14:10,816 --> 00:14:14,220
wondering whether he's been
cursed or blessed.
179
00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:17,790
Listen, I don't know what you're selling,
but I'm not buying.
180
00:14:17,856 --> 00:14:21,193
Do you realize
what a wonderful gift you have?
181
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:23,162
You can fly.
182
00:14:23,229 --> 00:14:26,332
You can do what
everyone else dreams about.
183
00:14:26,398 --> 00:14:30,102
And yet you live alone, hiding in shame.
184
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:33,339
-It needn't be so.
-I'm learning to deal with it.
185
00:14:33,405 --> 00:14:36,642
You think that by helping
a few pathetic people,
186
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:38,510
they will learn to accept you?
187
00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:41,480
You saw how quickly they turned
on you today.
188
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:44,850
Do you want to live in fear
for the rest of your life?
189
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:48,621
-No, but--
-There are others like us, Warren.
190
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,389
I want you to meet them.
191
00:14:50,456 --> 00:14:53,459
What, some sort of club
for weirdoes and freaks?
192
00:14:53,525 --> 00:14:54,994
I don't think so.
193

[ominous music playing]
194
00:15:02,801 --> 00:15:03,969
What is this?
195
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:06,472
This could have been easy.
196
00:15:06,538 --> 00:15:10,776
Regrettably, you've chosen to make it hard.

Scott, he's falling!
200
00:15:50,683 --> 00:15:53,185
Are you all right?
Hold still, I'll help you with that.
201
00:15:56,322 --> 00:15:59,725
Now we know Magneto's
still in business.
202
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,427
Who are you people?
203
00:16:01,493 --> 00:16:04,096
-[Magneto] You fools!
-[gasping]
204

[dramatic music playing]
207
00:16:15,341 --> 00:16:17,910
A simple "thank you"
would have been nice.
208
00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:23,615
Angel, let him go!

00:18:06,452 --> 00:18:08,720
I think you really are an angel.
216
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:22,968
I hope she'll be all right.
217
00:18:23,635 --> 00:18:26,038
-I didn't mean to--
-You don't need to explain, Warren.
218
00:18:26,104 --> 00:18:29,274
Listen, from what we've heard,
a lot of people owe you their lives.
219
00:18:29,341 --> 00:18:30,642
Yeah, including me.
220
00:18:33,111 --> 00:18:36,348
So this Xavier Institute of yours,
221
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:38,817
what makes it any different
from Magneto's pitch?
222
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:42,721
I mean, suddenly it seems like everybody
wants me to join their organization.
223
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:46,892
No, it's not like that at all.
Believe me, we're nothing like Magneto.
224
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,161
Yeah, he's on a total power trip.
225
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:52,531
We're just trying to fit in
and make good use of our abilities.
226
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:54,333
But we've learned that we've gotta be careful
227
00:18:54,399 --> 00:18:57,169
because most people
just aren't ready to deal with us yet.
228
00:18:57,736 --> 00:18:59,271
Yeah, tell me about it.
229
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:03,208
And with Magneto still out there,
you really should lay low for a while anyway.
230
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:05,644
Just come with us
and meet Professor Xavier.
231
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:07,813
Check out what we do
and see what you think.
232
00:19:10,516 --> 00:19:13,051
Haley's awake. She's gonna be all right.
233
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:15,053
You can see her now.

[upbeat music playing]
235
00:19:19,057 --> 00:19:21,660
-Do you think he'll come with us?
-No.
236
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:32,037
I saw him again. In my dreams.
237
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:35,374
-Saw who, sweetheart?
-My angel.
238
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,109
He came to see me.
