Original subtitles

[male teacher] Chemistry is the study of matter,

and the change matter undergoes.

To illustrate, uh, turn to page 40.

-[groans] -Pay attention! This is interesting.

Yeah, riveting.

Now, there are stable molecules, such as water,

and then there are your unstable molecules,

-like potassium metal. -[boy] Yo, Daniels!

Unstable molecules have weak atomic bonds and break up easily,

Kind of like the defensive line on our football team.

[laughter]

Hey, yo, teach, can I have the bathroom pass?

Don't get lost. The best part is yet to come.

OK, let's see some fireworks.

[fizzing]

-[boy] Nice. -[girl] Man.

-[boy two] Man. -[boy three] Oh! Man.

Intense, huh? You should see it in the dark.

-[Evan] Hey, what's goin' on, boys? - Come on, man. Let's roll.

So, where were we?

[groans]

[boy] What's wrong?

[students chattering]

-[groans] -Go-go ahead and read chapter four.

I'll be back in a while.

-[boy one] Hey, dude, what happened? -[boy two] Check that out.

[groans]

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come. When-ah!

We have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Ah-ah! Must give us pause!

Ah! There's the respect that makes calamity

of so long life!

Ah!

[theme music playing]

[girl] This test is gonna be so hard.

[Risty] Mr. Kelly, who did this?

I don't know yet, Risty. But I intend to find out.

It looks pretty trashed in there.

They must have been very strong.

Yes, or very angry.

McCoy? Are you crazy? He wouldn't do anything like that.

I'm serious. You should have seen him in chemistry.

He was totally losing it,

And no one has seen him around since.

Kurt, he's the coolest teacher we got around here

And the nicest.

Unlike Mrs. Hawkins in here.

Oh massive geometry test on Friday, and I am so not ready. OK, bye.

Yeah!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[grunt]

[McCoy] Show his eyes, and grieve his heart.

Come like shadows, so depart.

If that which he avouches does appear,

there is no flying hence nor tarrying here.

Mr. McCoy?

If thou speakest false, upon thy next tree shalt thou hang alive

till famine cling thee!

If this is about cutting class, I'm-I'm sorry!

Seriously, teach, I'm not trying to play you.

You got my attention now.

Rah!

[panting]

Mr. McCoy?

I-It's me, Evan.

[panting]

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you. I was just--

[boy] Yo, Daniels, What's the holdup?

I'll be right there.

You gonna be OK?

Yes. I'll, uh--

I'll see you tomorrow, Evan.

-[breathing heavily] -Ah!

[grunts]

-[gasps] -[grunts]

Come on! We're running out of time!

Forget it. I got hit.

No one gets left behind.

[grunts]

-[sighs] -This is so embarrassing.

Come on!

It's all or none! Run!

[wind slows down]

-Oh, man! -Oh, man!

-No -This is so lame!

Time's up.

Nice rescue, Cyclops.

And, Nightcrawler, good restraint on not throwing that lever

until everyone was there.

-Impressive teamwork today. -But we failed.

Yeah. Spyke was supposed to have my back.

[doors open]

Uh... am I late?

You part of the team, or what?

Rogue got powdered 'cause of you.

Way to go, Evan.

Yeah, now we have to do it again tomorrow.

Sorry. I was caught up with stuff, and I forgot my watch and, uh--

You're making a habit out of this, Evan.

Nobody can count on you anymore.

Oh, cool! it's here!

OK, so be honest. Do you like it?

Uh, very unique.

Well, it's supposed to stimulate brainpower.

Oh, I gotcha.

You're still stressing on that geometry test, huh?

Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Oh, I think I feel my head tingling.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, just the guy I was looking for.

I'll be in class today. I promise.

It's not that.

I just want to apologize about what happened at the amphitheater.

You do?

You caught me at a bad time.

I like to go there to, hm, kind of get my head together.

I suppose I get a little entranced by the whole Shakespeare thing.

Hey, i-it's cool. I understand.

I know you do, Evan.

You're a bright kid, and you have a lot of potential,

more than you know. See there?

You played here at Bayville?

Three years. Would have been four, but I just goofed off as a freshman.

It wasn't until I became part of a real team

that I truly realized my potential.

Pick your friends wisely, Evan.

They shape us in many ways.

Oh, and, uh, about skipping class?

Memorize this little Shakespeare passage, and we'll forget it. Fair enough?

Great.

Now you better get to class.

[girl] Pass it!

Come on, people. Let's turn it up a notch and have some fun!

[girl] Stacy, I'm open!

-That's it, Grey. -[girl] Over here!

Use your stick.

No, look for your teammates. Go, go, go, go!

[grunts]

No. Not now.

[grunting and groaning]

Catch me, coach. I can't stop.

[deep growling]

[roars]

[roars]

[girl screams]

Hey, teach, uh, nice catch.

Uh, I bet you didn't see that one coming.

Gee, M-Mr. McCoy looked really mad.

Nah. You just surprised him.

Are you feeling all right?

Yes. I'm fine. I--

I guess I'm a little jumpy.

[thunder rumbling]

[Spyke] "Show his eyes and grieve his heart,

come like shadows..."

Uh, uh... like shadows--

oh, man! I'm never gonna get this!

[Kitty] What you need is some brainpower.

What is that?

A pyramid hat.

It stimulates energy in the mind.

Pretty cool, huh?

You really believe that stuff?

Hey, I walk through walls, you shoot bony spikes.

What's not to believe?

Try it.

Uh, no, thanks.

I don't do hats.

Trust me. After blowing off the danger room session today,

your brain could use some recharging.

[doorbell rings]

[door opens]

Mr. McCoy. Uh, what are you doing here?

Hello, Jean.

I'm here to see professor Xavier.

[thunder rumbling]

You reached out to me when I was young.

Huh. I realize now I should have listened.

I can't control it anymore, professor, not by myself.

I need your help.

Tell me, Hank, what have you been feeling?

It's like I've got an animal inside of me,

a beast, and it's-it's tearing me to pieces.

But somehow you've managed to suppress it all these years.

How?

Through a serum I created.

But it's not working anymore.

Please, you have to help me before somebody gets hurt.

Hm, have a seat.

[growls]

[growls]

[roars]

-[thunder rumbling] -[sighs]

What did you see?

I'm sorry, Hank.

There's nothing I can do for you.

No, don't say that. I'm too dangerous to be trusted.

Agreed, which means you may need to make certain sacrifices

until you've got this under control.

You don't understand. Teaching is my life.

I'm nothing without it.

This mutation, it's a natural part of you.

The only way to suppress it is with your own strength of will.

I've tried.

But you stopped when you started depending on the serum.

You have to reach from within.

It's the only way.

I'm-I'm just worn out.

I can't fight it anymore.

[thunder rumbling]

[thunder rumbling]

Unh. Ah. Ah.

Ah!

[crash]

[grunting]

[roars]

[Principal Kelly] What?

[roars]

-[roars] -[gasping]

[gasps]

Unh!

[growls]

Ah!

[roars]

Unh!

-[roars] -Ah!

-[grunts] -[gasps]

-[grunts] -[alarm ringing]

[roars]

[gasping]

[gasps]

Mr. McCoy.

[reporter] A state of emergency has been declared throughout the city

as reports of a wild beast continue to flood in.

I've seen the beast with my own eyes.

I know who it is. It's Hank McCoy, a chemistry teacher here.

[Principal Kelly] He's gone mad.

Aw, man. Teach.

Based on sightings and the wake of damage, it's clear he's headed north.

Let's head him off, and remember, we don't want him hurt.

These tracks are huge. Must be his.

-[thunder rumbling] -[beast growls]

[growls]

I'll track him. Call the others.

Wolverine, we sighted him in the scrap yard.

[Wolverine] On our way.

I've lost him.

-Ah! -[roars]

[growls]

[growls and roars]

Unh!

[growls]

[both growl]

[both grunting]

Unh, unh!

[gasps]

[both grunt]

Ah!

[roars]

-[grunts] -I'm goin' after him. Stay together.

Storm, he's still heading north.

[Storm] We'll be waiting.

Where could he be going?

To get his head together.

[Jean] Spyke, we have to stay together.

Come on.

[siren blares]

[thunder rumbling]

[Rogue] There he is!

[thunder rumbling]

-Huh? -[growls]

[moan]

I'm on it.

-[gasps] -[roars]

[both yelling]

[thuds]

[footsteps approaching]

Where is he?

In here somewhere.

[roars]

[groans]

[grunt]

He's on the move again.

[thunder rumbling]

Mr. McCoy?

-[thunder rumbling] -[beast growls]

-[gasps] -[roars]

This isn't you, teach. Don't do this.

You gotta fight this thing.

-[grunts] -Unh!

He's in the amphitheater. Hurry.

[roars]

[groans]

[roars]

-[roars] -[grunt]

[growls]

[both grunt]

[growls]

[gasps]

I-I can't keep him pinned much longer.

[thunder rumbling]

Show his eyes and grieve his heart...

Evan, no! Stay back!

Come like shadows, so depart.

-[roars] -Sleep shall neither night nor day

hang upon his penthouse lid.

He shall live a man forbid...

-[roars] -Weary se'nnights nine times nine,

shall he dwindle, peak, and pine.

Hank, listen to me.

You're still in there.

You know what's happening to you, so take control.

You're stronger than the beast.

Don't give up.

[Spyke] Though his bark cannot be lost...

-[roars] - yet it shall be tempest-tost.

[female reporter] After a night of terror, local teacher Hank McCoy's whereabouts

remain unknown, but until he's found,

police have vowed to continue their search.

[growls]

I still look like a monster.

But you're now in the one place where that doesn't matter.

I can still feel it, though, inside.

And you probably always will.

The worst part is,

the very thing I feared most has happened.

My teaching days are over now that I look like this.

Not so, teach.

the prof can outfit you with an image inducer like Kurt's.

To look like whom, Hank McCoy?

-[scoffs] -He's a wanted fugitive.

But you can be anybody.

With a beast inside trying to claw its way out, I just can't risk it.

What you need, Hank,

are students who know your secrets,

who have secrets of their own,

and who need a man of your compassion to teach them.

Let me guess. Bad grade on the quiz?

Nope. I aced it.

Then what changed your mind?

I looked in the mirror.

Why didn't you tell me I looked so hideous?

I'd rather study than ruin a good hair day.

[Professor X] Everyone, may I have your attention?

Please say hello to the institute's newest faculty member.

Welcome Mr. McCoy.

Thank you, but from here on in,

I'm not just Mr. McCoy.

You can call me beast.
