X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes Page #5

- Take the patient into recovery.

- Yes, Doctor.

Dr. Xavier, are you finished?

Yes. I'm sorry,

there was nothing else I could do,

but the girl will live.

Dr. Ryan,

will you write the postoperative orders?

You know what you did was unethical.

I had no choice.

You realize that news of it

has probably spread through the hospital,

perhaps even reached the papers.

You saw what I've accomplished.

I don't know what I saw.

But this I do know.

You will be tried for malpractice.

- Jim.

- Diane.

- You've got to get away from here.

- You're coming with us.

Yes, I'm very tired.

L, T, N,

U, E,

X.

James. James.

Yes, it persists.

The effect is cumulative.

I see veins, organs,

the blood rushing through your heart.

I look at Diane,

and she appears

a perfect, breathing dissection.

But, Jim,

there must be some way to control it.

Of course.

Ask your foundation

for the money to discover it.

We don't need the foundation,

any of them.

- We'll work together. We'll find a reversal.

- No.

That's just what I don't want.

I'm going on.

You can't. I won't permit it.

The drug works upon the eyes.

- They're the direct route into the brain.

- I don't care.

What is happening is beyond my hopes.

A cumulative effect.

Soon, I'll be able to see

what no man has ever seen.

And, Sam, I want you with me.

With new eyes, we'll explore

all the mysteries of creation.

With knowledge there is power.

The power to learn, to create, to do.

I proved it today.

Jim, who knows what other parts

of your mind are affected by this thing.

Sam.

Jim, it's the only way.

Someone has to care for you.

Now, push up your sleeve.

No!

You killed him.

- Yes.

- Jim.

- He was my friend.

- You've got to get away.

But you saw what happened.

They won't believe me,

not after the operation.

They'll think you're insane.

Insane?

Insane?

Diane, do you...

The police.

Jim, you've got no time.

They'll blame you no matter what we say.

One of the most fantastic performances

ever to appear here in the carnival show.

And you'll enjoy the fabulous things

he can do with his fantastic eyes and mind.

Hey, you boys over there.

You two fellows, step right over here,

you're embarrassing the girls.

Come on over here and see a show.

We're gonna present to you

one of the finest shows on earth.

Big deal.

Hey, buddy, how would you like it

if I step on your hands?

Nobody likes a wise guy.

This man, ladies and gentlemen,

he can read your mind.

Tell you what you're thinking.

Can he tell me where my wife is?

Yeah, buddy, on a broom

flying around the pier.

That's where your wife is.

I need guys like you.

Come on, you people,

he's ready to begin.
