Scenes with Captain Nemo

10 scenes

Well, we were the faster, but now we're the tortoise to his hare.

So, we're done?

No, we're alive. If M has any idea to the contrary, that gives us an edge.

Captain Nemo

The sea is vast, he could be anywhere.

Yeah, well, I'm an optimist, now maybe that's a crime to you twisted so-and-so's but it keeps me from going crazy.

Your optimism's out of place.

You're wrong! Because we'll get out, man... at least, *I* will. That other agent I told you about... was my childhood friend. We were agents together until the phantom shot him dead. Now you can be done, but I am not. I will avenge his death.

It's not about any one of us, Tom, it's bigger than that.

Yes, it is, Jekyll! The fate for the world is in our hands... the world! So M tricked you, he brought you all together and you walked straight into his trap. But the way that I see it, that's the part he did wrong... He brought you together.

He has a point.

And the boy becomes a man... perhaps a leader of men.

And Women.

Captain Nemo
[Seeing one of M's men who has taken a large amount of Hyde's formula]

What is that thing?

He's me on a bad day.

Phantom's Soldier
[To Nemo]

Draw your pistol.

Captain Nemo

I walk a different path. [draws sword]

Captain Nemo

Contain your evil, Doctor. I'll not have the brute free upon my ship. Must I take drastic steps?

I am in control.

Captain Nemo

I very much doubt it.

Your talk is all well and good, sir... but your own past is far from laudable.

[Clanging metal sounds from inside Nautilus]

What is it?

Captain Nemo

The sound of treachery.

The Phantom is M. And the hunt is still on.

What are you talking about?

The Phantom is M. The same man who recruited us.

[trying to examine Allan's wound]

Let me see that.

Captain Nemo
[he is shrugged off]

But how?

We'll get our answers. Where are the others?

[entering]

Dorian's missing in action. And Mr. Skinner must have fled when he realized we knew.

[concerned]

Sawyer?

[entering with a bloody lip]

He'll live to fight another day.

[advances towards Tom, he draws back]

Don't worry, I've had my fill of throats for this

I may have been overly rude earlier... when I called you a pirate.

Captain Nemo

And I may have been overly charitable... when I said I wasn't. But I try to live in the now... where the ghosts of old wrongs do not abide.
