The following podcast contains strong language and adult things and is intended for a mature audience. The SNR discretion is advised. Previously, on Marvel's Wastelanders, Wolverine. we're there. A public entity! Number five! Grab my hand, Rachel, we're making our own entrance. They just go through the wall. We're going to find the light. Passed out in the shadow. That was the moment he transferred a part of his mind to yours. So we're doing this mission and we're going to be wildly unpopular. I'm in. Walk me to the plan. And the blazes was that? Transpell. Let's roll. [Music] How's it feel being in the pilot seat again? Like riding a bicycle. Like a deadly flying bicycle. Just like the blackbird. Never got to fly that one. That was your mother's ride. Mom sure cast a long shadow. Tough sometimes, huh? Being a telepath must be such a head trip. Such a powerful ability being able to control people's minds. You must feel like you can control everything. Sometimes. But you can't control everything. Your mom, Charles, they would be the first ones to admit that the unpredictability of the universe is still more powerful than any power we have as mutants. If there's one thing I know for certain. Yeah, hit an airplane. Hey, you okay back there? Could you get us to the White House in one piece? Only if you're nice to me. What are we going to do with that guy? I'm doing the mission, Kitty. I'm here to save the future of mutants. Can you leave it there? But doesn't it help the tiniest amount to know he thought he was saving the X-Men on B-Day? Am I still angry with him? Yes. Am I angrier at Red Skull and Shadow King from manipulating him into taking my mom, my dad, and all the others? Hell, yeah. That's why I want to get Red Skull today and get him good. You hear that? Hear what? Didn't order an escort, did we? Get down, get down! They take the fuel line! Cutting the engines! Oh, it's going to be a bumpy touchdown! Getting something, voices. They want a circle back for us. Shoot 'em down, Kitty. We didn't onboard guns or missiles. Why the hell, man? Well, there wasn't a lot of time! They're coming in for round two. Incoming! We're far and confident up here. Great, I lost the yolk. Are you doing it? We're going to jump out of this thing a while. Our altitude is too high for that. I got it. Trying to. Ugh! Trying to. Lower us. Really! Hard to steer this without the yolk. Oh, oh, oh, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. What's happening here? I'm not touching anything. That's not the autopilot. It can't be. I lost the hydraulics. It's like the plane's got a mind of its own. Or someone else's brain. Rachel? I've barely got this. Raise yourself. We're coming in for a hard landing! Marvel Entertainment and Sirius XM present Marvel's Wastelanders Wolverine. Chapter 10, all that you leave behind. Thing, you've got to take it outside. You're killing me. Go find some woodland friends. As the investigation is going to be after the meeting from your continued. So does the International Manta for the Princess of Red Skull. And you've known to the world as Wolverine. Ugh. However, the Canadian First Lady has put out a statement in the science of C.S. condemning the quote-unquote "witchhunt" of greenery. Thank you. Accusing America's President of the Liberty Stoking Anti-Mew Violence in panic. What she said. Making political instability in this neighborhood in North with the hopes of a possible invasion. We ask the members for their reactions. Sir, what do you think of the First Lady's statement? She's a mute, eh? She is. There's your answer. I can't take this. Thing. Crossbones? He found a woodland friend. Hey! Huh. This is the White House. This is a bowling alley. Yeah, this wasn't where I meant to phase this into the building. And now I'm totally turned around. I got this. Follow me. And here before. You have? He's been invited to the White House. Skull's got this floor of Krona with security. They must have caught us outside. So much for entering through the basement. I'm picking up on something. We gotta move now. Come on. We're taking the scenic route. Where? Into the china route. Got you back. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Everybody, hold on tight for this time. Hurry, hurry, hurry. It's not good. Look out. I'm sorry. Hurry, hurry, hurry. What was that? A lot of walls to pass through, kitty. I'm kind. Might or rather have taken the boat. Okay. Start climbing, people. The real action's waiting for us on the second floor. The legs are a little ugly. Hyperventilated. Ready? When I open this door, it's gonna be Red Skull's security team, unleashing Almighty Elana. Release the hounds. Scuseballs. Rachel, are you okay? What's the matter? I just had a memory float into my head that I think was trying to scare me. And I couldn't control it. This all happened just now. Yeah. We might be up against something in this building that we didn't plan for. You have a lot of trauma. No, kitty, it's a telepath. You got your ears clogged, plan an idea, emotional manipulation, externally controlled telepath. There's one in the building. Is it Shadow King again? You said your mom expelled Shadow King from his host of Red Skull. She did. But maybe he's back. So, what are we supposed to do about it? Sculls. Not if I put my mind to it. ♪ How but you had enough yet? Are you getting cold? It's nighttime. It's freezing out here. You're wind out your barefoot in the snow. I can see a wretched footprint in the moonlight. I just followed him to me right now. Oh. I know where you are. You want to come out of the trees and get this over with? I'm getting chilly. How could you kill Fang like that? So, poorly. Just for fun. He was my friend. What more do you want from me? What do I want from you? Well, your life. Obviously, that's what the pow pow pow is for. I mean, you're a spooky kid, but still a mutant. So, you gotta go. Newns are like the grand daddy long legs of people. Just. Which is why whenever I come across one, I take my boot. And I. It's my burglar trap. And you can rot there! I'm going to kill you, kid. I'm going to shoot you in a face like I did your wall. Cost bones to base, pick up. Anyone pick up? Pick up the radio with the souls? They're leaving you to die. Like you deserve. You're as foul as your animals, kid. And you are as incompetent as they come. You're incompetent. Did you see what I did to the Prime Minister? It was Jack Spook. It was a perfect poison egg. Shakespeare couldn't have done it better. That was you? Yeah. Chain dream. That was me. I am competent. With a hard seat. But you've never caught Wolverine? Have you. The fun thing that could make Red Skull proud. I assume that's why you're here today. You came looking for Wolverine. Not me, right? I'm just a casualty of being home. He's not here. If you haven't gathered. He's at the White House. So weird. Red Skull hasn't called to tell you. I have a utility knife on my belt. It's not terribly sharp. Now it's. It's going to take a minute or two to cut myself down from here. But when I do. I'm going to find you. And stab you in your tender, wolf-loving heart. With my painfully, painfully dull knife. That's high enough to be out of the reach of most bears. But there's some big bears around here. It's Canada. That's Jesse. Your meter's enough. Maybe even after that, the whole. The whole knife of yours cuts through that room. Maybe. Hey! Hey, no, no, no, no. Let's get it! Come back! Yeah? Look at that ammo here. You're not getting any closer to Red Skull. I've got to get in that trooper room another way. You're hearing any strange voices yet? Well, you knock it off, half-pipe. But put it, running out of ammo, don't you understand? All right, all right. Let's talk options. Option one. We phase out, run straight ahead, and go through the bodies of the security team. It'll get us right to the door. No! Fine. Anybody got an option, too? Yep. No! Save the claws for Red Skull, wolf-loving. Who's there? That one, Biffy. So where does that leave us? Rachel? Uh. Theoretically, I can throw up a telekinetic shield to protect us from the bullets. Should I? Right now! What just happened? What did you do to him? I don't know yet. It's so beautiful. Chrono skimming, temporarily sending a person's mind through time to an earlier memory. It's not gonna buy us enough time to breach the trophy room. But if we can get up to the third floor, I got an idea how to ambush Red Skull. If I can pull it off. Move out! Ebony blade. Ebony blade. Ebony blade. Out, damn spot! Ah, better. Now I can see every dry drop of blood. Ah, makes me feel like they're here. And soon, Wolverine, we'll be resting here too. That's so distinct. Drilled into a velvet display just like his friends. Oh. Punisher. Nightcrawler. They're almost positive, that is tell. Beast. Charles Xavier, Captain America. This public enemy can be brought me time. Yeah. But no rest will be had until Wolverine dies. Today, he will join the gestonk of his fellow ex-med. It's only because I want his skeleton. Ah, the Ebony blade. This guy here. Forgit by the hand of evil, and meant to be held by an evil hand. Oh, perfectly, it fits mine. What a lovely gift from a dead Avenger. What a way to display open a mutant, and expose his spine. Was that ceiling crack over there? Let's go! Let's fight! Logan, you in this? Logan! Logan, stop out of it! Kidney, eat hope! Logan! Gotcha! You stupid mutant! Let's hear you fight me, the Ebony blade in my grave! Kidney! Why isn't she phasing? Fuck fire, you blood blister! Have a migraine on me, red skull! Oh! I said, on me, red skull! Damn it! Kidney! Kidney! Kidney! He caught you in your blind spot, Shadow Cat. Even some of them, I don't have eyes in the back of their heads. Only buns. Blind spots are a liability in any fight, but where their most devastating is much, much closer to home. And if you choose to ignore them, it's gonna hurt. And who does a better job at hurting than me? I'll give you a hint who it is. Bob. Look at you and your mutant's miscreants have done Wolverine. Instead of using the tool, you desecrated a museum. A museum? One man's museum is another man's funeral home. You wouldn't know I could jump from Sverk if it ate you in the face. A rare point of agreement there. Now let go of your hostage. Well, I'm gonna have to do a little more. Desecrate. Careful, Logan. He's using Kitty as his human shield. Mutant! Shit! Ah! My father! Oh God! Kidney! When push comes to shove! Oh! I'll take the Ebony blades now. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Kitty. I'm feeling okay. Hey! Why don't you put me in here? Oh, is that trophy case? What's up with you, Wolverine? What's supposed to be working together as a kid? Can he stop? This is all Shadow King messing with your head. Is it no? Logan's not the enemy here. It's not brutal! It's show! Retract your claws, Logan. They're not for Kitty. Retract your claws. If you don't, I swear I'll kill you. Even if I have to strangle you with my bare hands. A dibs on his skeleton. Damn it. Kitty, this is for your own good. Oh! Oh! What? You're just like your mother, foul. Mom? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Oh, no, no. Oh! I am so lonely. Let's go. I am so lonely. I am so lonely. She was no match with Shadow King. She expelled him from you. I saw it. Shadow King became a puff of smoke. Yeah. Unsmoke travels. Shadow King died. May have parted you as a day. But do you remain friends, even as he found a new oyster? And so grateful was he for the way I killed his rival, Savia. That he promised he'd always turn his power my way. If mutants came calling. So long as I kept an open mind. And I'll finish when mom started. This Shadow King is a dark itself. You cannot kill it. But I can kill you, Red Skull. A little healthy rate. Let's go. Oh, boy. Let's go. You killed it. All right. Find the light. Shock. Test out the shadows. Rachel. Okay, I don't know about the head injury, but she's breathing at least. Look. Yeah. Take this out of here so you can fight Skull. Do the only one who has their wits about him right now. How about that? Do it for the mutants, will they? Let's fight. That skinny little sword ain't worth crappin' me. Skull. Your sword is my toothpick. And you are the plaque between my teeth. Zebony blade can hold its own against Adamantium. Why'd you think I chose it to dumb cops? You ready to end this thing or what? [SCREAMING] Do the zombie care. Hey, look at you on display. [SCREAMING] On display of four. This is where I punish you. Nice. This bonus just got no less. [SCREAMING] Now, I punish you this truth. 30 years ago, you were my secret weapon over in, huh? A Von Badblitzkrieg destroys X-Men in a matter of minutes. All your friends and family. Ah, it was wonderful. For me, it was even that the watching your software is going to be so close. Watching your limbs get ripped into shreds, limb by limb by limb. Oh, so painful, huh? And now, when I expose your spine, is there any pain? Oh, more pain, huh? Your recovery? Longer if ever, because age. Oh, I best do the best of us, friend. Unserversovering, no matter what you do, no matter how you try to protect the world, the world. Always hate and fear you. [LAUGHS] And I have made up this certainty, making you public enemy number one. Been there before. You see this look on my face? That means I'm coming for you. That's right. I'm coming for you, Bob. Don't know if that shadow king or skull or some permanent Frankenstein's Nazi. Mutants are going to take this trash from you anymore, because they got me right now to stand up to boys like you and pretty soon my team's going to be bigger than yours. We're going to get out of hiding in the dark and step into the mother-loving life and live and love and do whatever the hell everyone else gets to do. 'Cause we are the light. Your cult is sleazeball. We are the light. So you better get some sunglasses. [LAUGHS] [GUNSHOTS] That all you got. [GUNSHOTS] Guess so. [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] You got your claws? [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] I tried to get me a beer, Wolverine. His hair thought this change is close. I've blocked. And I'm out the reach of your grimy nails. [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] You can't treat me up yet. Red Skull, we go back a long ways. And the only thing you and me ever had in common was the fight. 'Cause we're soldiers. And that's how we're made. Like a couple of Spartans. And you know what the Spartans believed. You return from the war, either with your shield or on it. I took Captain America to stand by that. What's that sound? The Shadow King commands you to put that down. Wonder if Captain Shield here is. They're all dynamic. [GUNSHOTS] A Peterson. [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] Guess he died with his head on his shield. [GUNSHOTS] Words from Washington, D.C., the President Red Skull, came out of celebrations around the country. We've got images right now. I haven't seen anything like this since video. When people come to know how this is, they're working on D.C. 'Cause President Red Skull has been derrotado for this movie. [GUNSHOTS] [GUNSHOTS] Nice sunset, huh? 30 years in Canada and you still don't realize it's A. No, no. Shut up. I grew up not far from here. Really? A couple hundred miles, whereas Canadians call it. The Sunday walk. Hmm. But a lot's changed. Sure has. We got a lot to talk about. Yeah, I know. Things are a mess back in the States. It's gonna be that way a long time, I reckon. Yep. They're gonna be hunting you for a while. Let 'em. And now the Shadow King. Ah, he's out there somewhere. But he always was. Logan. I know where this is headed. Don't worry, half point. It's gonna be okay. Hmm. I don't know about that. I think worrying comes with the territory when it comes to you. [GIGGLES] I remember Jean would always get so upset when you. [GIGGLES] But. She loved you. She really loved you. I'm a miss you, Wolfie. Real engineering. Hmm. Morning, sunshine. Morning. She's being facetious. It's the afternoon. Oh. You excited about tomorrow? Excited, nervous, awfully above. Told him we had a guest bedroom, but he insists on sleeping in his camper. That's Justin. He probably wants his privacy. Cup of tea? Where's Logan? Hmm. Sit down. I'm already sitting. Right. This is for you. What? A note? But he wouldn't just leave without saying he would. He totally would. Read the note. Wolfkin. You don't need me to get you where you're going next. You got a good head on your shoulders. A mentor and kitty. And a lifetime of experience is someone your age shouldn't have. You're a survivor. Through and through. I'll go out there and have a life. Scream into a canyon. Fall in love again. Even if it's the same person twice. It's time to go make some new memories. It's time to go make some better memories again. Better memories for all of us. Marvel Entertainment and series XM present. Marvel's Wastelanders. Wolverine starring Robert Patrick as Wolverine.
