X-Men: Days of Future Past

The future.

A dark, desolate world.

A world of war, suffering, loss...

on both sides.

Mutants and the humans who dared to help them.

Fighting an enemy we cannot defeat.

Are we destined down this path?

Destined to destroy ourselves like so many species before us?

Or can we evolve fast enough to change ourselves?

Change our fate?

Is the future truly set?

They're here!

Time's up.

Sentinels!

Sunspot!

Let's go.

Run!

Go!

Blink! No!

Too late, assholes.

Don't move, you mutant scum!

No!

Flat on the ground, hands behind your head!

So few of us left.

Professor?

I've found them.

Professor!

Bobby. Hey, Storm.

Hey, kid.

Professor, you made it.

Whenever the Sentinels attack, Warpath spots them...

then I send Bishop back to warn us

of the attack before it happens.

Blink scouts the next site...

and then we leave before they ever know we were there.

Because... we never were.

What do you mean you were never there?

She projects Bishop back in time

a few days to warn the others...

of the coming attack.

So she sends Bishop back in time?

No, just his consciousness, into his younger self.

His younger body.

Wow.

This might just work, Charles.

What might work?

The Sentinel program was originally

conceived by Doctor Bolivar Trask.

In the early '70s, he was one of the world's leading weapons designers.

But, covertly, he had begun experimenting on mutants...

using their gifts to fuel his own research.

This is extraordinary.

There was one mutant who had discovered what he was doing.

A mutant with the ability to transform herself into anyone.

Mystique.

I knew her as Raven.

We met when we were children,

grew up together.

She was like a sister to me.

I tried to help her...

but only succeeded in driving her away.

She hunted Trask across the world.

And at the Paris Peace Accords in 1973,

after the Vietnam War...

she found Trask...

and killed him.

It was the first time she killed.

It wasn't her last.

But killing Trask did not have the outcome she expected.

It only persuaded the government

of the need for his program.

They captured her that day...

tortured her, experimented on her.

In her DNA, they discovered the secrets

to her powers of transformation.

It gave them the key they needed...

to create weapons that could adapt to any mutant power.

And in less than 50 years...

the machines that have destroyed...

So many of our kind were created.

But it all started that day in 1973...

the day she first killed.

The day she truly became...

Mystique.

You want to go back there.

If I can get to her, stop the assassination...

keep her out of their hands...

then we can stop the Sentinels from ever being born.

And end this war before it ever begins.

Uh, I can send someone back a couple weeks.

Maybe a month.

But you're talking about going back decades.

You have the most powerful brain in the world, Professor...

but the mind can only stretch so far before it snaps.

It would rip you apart. I'm sorry.

No one could survive that trip.

What if someone's mind has a way of snapping back?

What if someone can heal as fast as they're ripped apart?

Okay, spread out.

Take your positions.

So I wake up in my younger body, God knows where.

Then what?

You'll need to go to my house and find me.

Convince me of all of this.

Won't you be able to just read my mind?

I didn't have my powers in 1973.

Logan, you're going to have to do for me

what I once did for you.

Lead me, guide me.

I was a very different man then.

You'll have to be patient with me.

Patience is my strongest suit.

You'll need me as well.

What?

After Mystique left Charles, she came with me...

and I set her on a dangerous path.

A darker path.

It's going to take the two of us, side by side...

at a time when we couldn't be further apart.

Great.

So where do I find you?

Well, it's complicated.

Basically, your body will go to sleep

while your mind travels back in time.

As long as you're back there,

past and present will continue to coexist.

But once you wake up...

whatever you've done will take hold and become history.

And for the rest of us, it will be the only history that we know.

It will be like the last 50 years never happened.

And this world, and this war...

the only person who will remember it is you.

All right, Logan...

I need you to clear your head

and to stay as calm as possible.

What? What do you mean?

If your mind gets rocky, it will be harder for me to hold you...

and you could start to slip between past and future.

What if I need to get a little rocky?

Think peaceful thoughts?

Peaceful thoughts... Do you have any good news?

Well, you don't really age,

so you'll pretty much look the same.

You won't have much time in the past.

The Sentinels will find us.

They always do.

And this time, we won't be able to run.

We'll have no escape.

This is our last chance.

You really think this will work?

I have faith in him.

It's not him I'm worried about, it's us.

We were young...

we didn't know any better.

We will now.

See you all soon.

This might sting a little.

The first time

Ever I saw your face

Whoa.

I thought the sun

Rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars

Were the gifts you gave

Holy shit.

It worked.

Hey, what's going on?

Gwen, get dressed. Who the hell are you?

Hey, I don't know what's going on.

You're supposed to be

guarding the boss's daughter, not screwing her.

Well, I didn't sleep with her.

No?

I mean, yes, I slept with her many times.

Jimmy!

That wasn't me. That was the old me.

I just got here 20 seconds ago.

Really?

Then what happened to your clothes?

My... Oh.

Would you believe me if I told you

I was sent here from the future?

Get out of here, sweetheart. Yeah.

We're gonna take care of this comedian. No, you're not.

You're gonna give me the keys to your car and some money for gas...

or you're gonna wake up in the hospital.

Trust me, I know how these things play out.

Oh. Because you're from the future?

No.

Because of these.

What the hell?

God damn it!

Peaceful thoughts.

We are reviewing all of our defence expenditures...

and all the black books are being opened.

We can't support a weapon that targets our own citizens.

If these mutants, as you describe...

are already living among us...

then they are living here peacefully.

We haven't had an incident in over 10 years.
