Logan Page #6

CALIBAN:

He’s been asking questions again.

He’s trying to read my mind.

LOGAN:

(re:
meds)

That’s what these are for.

Logan swings open the door and Caliban dodges the sudden

blast of sunlight as-

EXT. ABANDONED SMELTING PLANT -- DAY

Logan crosses beneath a catwalk toward A HUGE ROUND PLATED

TANK pitched over on its side. The old man’s voice getting

louder. He spins open the hatch and steps inside-

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 11.

INT. HUGE PLATED TANK -- CONTINUOUS

Logan enters the space and find himself facing, AN OLD MAN IN

A WHEELCHAIR making circles around mattress. CHARLES XAVIER

in his 90s. Bearded, tufts of white on his pate. A small

radio plays music with alligator clips to a car battery.

CHARLES:

Friends, I have Good News today!

It's not about what you do. It's

not about your deeds. You can't

live up to his rules. God knows you

can't. That's OK! We're imperfect!

Logan steps over a dumped tray of food, approaches Charles

with the meds. Charles swings his chair around him.

CHARLES (CONT’D)

Make way, sir.

Logan steps into his path and Charles stops.

CHARLES (CONT’D)

I said make way.

LOGAN:

No.

CHARLES:

The new Quesalupa from Taco Bell.

Get it with chicken, get it with

Who are you?

LOGAN:

You know who I am.

CHARLES:

(sees the syringe)

The man who puts me to sleep.

LOGAN:

We could both use some sleep.

Logan proceeds to roll up Charles' sleeve, but Charles

resists and they struggle for control of the needle-

LOGAN (CONT’D)

Charles, you’re making this-

Final Shooting - 8/23/2016 12.

Charles lunges for the needle and as Logan pulls it away,

CHARLES FALLS OUT OF THE CHAIR to the floor. He looks up at

Logan, enraged. A RINGING SOUND begins to rise...

CHARLES:

What are you f***ing doing to me!?

A tremor suddenly shakes Charles’ body. And now Logan is hit

with a PSIONIC BLAST. THE RINGING LOUD AND UNBEARABLE, like a

fork scraping his brain. Charles eyes are now blood red.

EXT. SMELTING PLANT FUEL TANK - DAY

Caliban, headed back to the kitchen, suddenly fights a kind

of induced paralysis, struggling to move, breathe-

INT. SMELTING PLANT FUEL TANK - DAY

Logan, pushing through the pain, pulls out the syringe and

INJECTS Charles. The medication immediately takes effect,

subduing the wave.

EXT. SMELTING PLANT FUEL TANK - DAY

Caliban is released as well, gulping for air.

INT. SMELTING PLANT FUEL TANK - DAY

Charles lies still, staring up at Logan who shakes off the

effects of the wave, the ringing fading. He reaches down and

picks up the disoriented old man-
