GOOD.
THAT PASSION,
THAT FORTHRIGHT QUALITY.
YOU'RE GOING TO
NEED ALL OF THAT AND MORE.
BECAUSE ONCE YOU GET INTO
THAT ROOM, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE
THAT THERE IS LIKELY NOT GOING
TO BE ONE PERSON ROOTING FOR
YOU TO BE INNOCENT.
ALL RIGHT. TELL ME SOMETHING.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
GET A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP, MR.KANE.
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ALL
OF YOUR ENERGY FOR THE TRIAL.
ADAM KANE, YOU'VE HEARD
THE CHARGES AGAINST YOU.
HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
WELL, FIRST,
I WANT
TO SAY THAT I DON'T RECOGNIZE
THE VALIDITY OF THIS COURT.
BE THAT AS IT MAY, OUR JUDGEMENT
IS JUST AS BINDING AND OUR
SENTENCES JUST AS FINAL.
I ASK AGAIN, HOW DO YOU PLEAD?
WHERE ARE THE CHARGES
AGAINST ME COMING FROM?
YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER.
YOU'RE NOT DOING
YOURSELF ANY GOOD.
YOUR HONOUR, MY CLIENT PLEADS
NOT GUILTY TO ALL CHARGES.
MR.WARREN, YOU HAVE
HEARD THE DEFENDANT.
YOU MAY PROCEED DIRECTLY
TO THE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE.
TAKE HIM TO THE CHAIR.
WHAT IS THIS?
THEY JUST WANT
TO GET TO THE TRUTH.
THIS IS SOME SORT
OF NEURO-IMAGER, ISN'T IT?
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
I INVENTED THIS TECHNOLOGY.
I REALIZE THAT YOUR ARROGANCE
MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO
BELIEVE THAT THERE'S ANYONE
ELSE CREATING THINGS IN THE
WORLD OF SCIENCE,
BUT IT IS TRUE.
OKAY, WAIT.
SO YOU'RE GOING
TO PROBE MY MIND.
YOU'RE GOING TO
PULL MEMORIES OUT OF ME?
NO. WE'RE GOING TO USE YOUR
OWN MENTAL RECONSTRUCTIONS
OF THE TRUTH.
THE MACHINE'S BEEN PROGRAMMED
WITH THE TIMES AND DATES:
YOU PROVIDE THE PICTURES.
TURN HIM AROUND.
ALL RIGHT. WAIT.
FINE, SEE, IF YOU THINK THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO GET EVIDENCE TO
SUPPORT THIS TRUMPED-UP
CASE AGAINST ME, YOU'RE WRONG.
MY ACTIONS WILL
PROVE MY INNOCENCE.
WELL, WE'LL SEE.
APRIL 14 OF LAST YEAR.
ONE OF YOUR MUTANT CREATIONS,
ASHLEY ELLIOTT, USED HER
POWERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SABOTAGE
THE ENTIRE POWER GRID OF
THE EASTERN SEABOARD.
THAT'S NOT
THE WAY IT HAPPENED.
NO.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT WAS.
THE RESULTING BLACKOUT
CAUSED THE DEATHS OF NO LESS
THAN THIRTY-SEVEN PEOPLE.
AND THE FINANCIAL LOSS
FROM FIRE AND THEFT TOTALLED
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THERE ARE NO
SECRETS HERE, MR.KANE.
HEY, JESSE.
TURN UP ANYTHING ON
THAT GENETIC FINGERPRINT YET?
NOTHING. AND UNLESS WE JUST
START STOPPING PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS FOR
RANDOM BLOOD TESTS...
WHAT ABOUT THE GENOMEX DATA?
YOU THINK THIS
GUY MIGHT BE A MUTANT?
YEAH...
I DON'T KNOW, I'M JUST SEARCHING
FOR ANY KIND OF CONNECTION.
WELL, ADAM KEEPS
ALL THE HARD-CORE GENOMEX
DATA PRETTY ENCRYPTED.
THINK YOU CAN CRACK
THE SECURITY SYSTEM?
WHAT WE GOT SO FAR,
YOU BETTER HOPE SO.
YEAH...
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE,
ADAM KANE BECAME A MONSTER.
HE IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE CREATION OF A SEEMINGLY
ENDLESS STREAM
OF DEADLY MONSTROSITIES.
I FIXED THE GENETIC FLAWS THAT
WERE KILLING THOSE CHILDREN.
YOU FIXED THEM?
YOU FIXED THEM.
WHO DID YOU FIX?
DID YOU FIX MICHAEL WARD?
IS HE ONE OF YOUR
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENTS?
JUNE 29 OF
THIS YEAR; THE LOCATION;
A NATIONAL PARK, UPSTATE.
I HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH MICHAEL WARD.
YOUR TECHNOLOGY CREATED HIM
AND WHEN YOUR MISTAKE WAS ABOUT
TO BECOME PUBLIC, YOU AND
YOUR MUTANT ARMY DESTROYED HIM.
NO. MICHAEL, STOP.
AGGHH!
AGH. AGH...
AGH!
TELL ME, HOW MANY OTHER
MISTAKES HAVE YOU MADE?
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW US
HOW YOU FIXED LORNA TEMPLETON?
TONY, YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
COME ON, STOP IT.
THINK ABOUT
WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO
LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT ME.
OH... OH.
HUH. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
BUT HIS MOST TERRIBLE
CREATION WAS THE FIRST,
THE ONE KNOWN AS PATIENT
ZERO, GABRIEL ASHLOCKE.
ENLIGHTEN US, ADAM.
SHOW US HOW YOUR MONSTER
TRAVELLED BACK THROUGH TIME IN
ORDER TO BRUTALLY
MURDER HIS OWN PARENTS.
YOU SEE, ASHLOCKE
WAS A KILLER'S KILLER.
HE WAS MORE POWERFUL THAN ALL
THE REST, AND COMPLETELY INSANE.
YOU JUST CAN'T
STAY AWAY, CAN YOU?
THE LINKS ARE MINE.
YOU THINK YOU
CAN BREAK US APART?
-AND UNTOLD DAMAGE WAS
CAUSED BY MUTANTS WHO FELL UNDER
ASHLOCKE'S MENTAL
