"Wolverine enters John\u2019s casino, unaware that he\u2019s being watched by his security guards. Logan walks to a lift, which brings him to the top. But that\u2019s just what the guards want him to do. \n\nSuddenly, Logan drops out of sight from the guards, but they still see him moving to his target on their monitors, so they don\u2019t think something\u2019s wrong. John and his partner are also watching Logan moving to them, and are pleased that Logan is as predictable as ever. John wants to move over to action, and can\u2019t wait to see the look on Logan\u2019s face once he sees that they were waiting for him. Little do they realize that Logan has taped a carton figure of himself on the lift\u2019s window, so that the guards think he\u2019s still inside, and Logan himself hangs underneath the lift. \n\nHe jumps down, and kills some of the guards. He breaks through a fence, and enters a lab of some sorts. Meanwhile, John was already waiting for the lift, and thinks he\u2019s still dealing with the actual Logan. John gets in the lift, and realizes that the joke\u2019s on him. In the lab, Wolverine sneaks up on some scientists, who are standing in front of a holding tank. John realizes where Wolverine must be and sends out his guards to permanently deal with him. \n\nThe guards enter the lab, but Wolverine kills them all. John\u2019s partner wants to open the door for John, so that he can stop him. But John tells him not to, as he wants the element of surprise. Instead, John uses his power and phases through the lab\u2019s wall. Wolverine seems to recognize the tank and wants to destroy it. John confronts Logan and tells him that\u2019s a huge mistake to make. Logan demands his brother to explain it to him. John says that this is an opportunity and won\u2019t fight him. He just wants Logan to listen to him. If Logan would blow the machine up, it would destroy Nevada and Logan would be responsible for the biggest hostile takeover in the history of the stock market. John says that Logan will be holding the big liberation for mutants in his hands: no more asylums, no more registrations towards the humans. Logan smiles, and tells John that\u2019s the difference between them: while John has been trying to be God, Logan has been working for him hoping that he\u2019ll have a place to live when it\u2019s his time. And John doesn\u2019t deserve liberation. \n\nJohn activates his powers and starts attacking Logan. The guards want to help their master, but one of them recalls that their master Howlett wanted to take Logan alone. Logan slams John down and calls him a liar. He knows that it never was about freedom, and just about money. John claims otherwise, but Logan slaps him in the face. John gets angry as he knows that Logan too is no saint. John fights back and kicks Logan away and restrains him. John remembers that it was Logan that killed Xavier, and that he doesn\u2019t want the other X-Men to know. And that Logan also doesn\u2019t know how to explain what he did to Rose. \n\nLogan doesn\u2019t believe his ears. John smiles, and tells Logan to pull away like he always does, and to all those children he abandoned. John calls Logan a worthless son, brother and father! Logan wants to know what John knows about them. John doesn\u2019t know which one Logan means: the one who became an accountant? John wants to know what they would do when they are reunited with Logan, and find out that he never loved the mother and left them because he was disappointed at them because neither her or the kid were mutants? \n\nLogan fights John again, and finds it a shame that he seems to have all the answers, but not what he really wants. John isn\u2019t impressed, and calls Logan\u2019s relatives targets. John gets away from Logan, using his powers. John agrees to wait, if that\u2019s what Logan wants him to do. John informs Logan that he\u2019s got a great choice to make, but doesn\u2019t even realize what that choice is. Wolverine doesn\u2019t agree. He bets that John doesn\u2019t know that the unit holds an \u201CEcstasy\u201D trigger, circa 2023. Logan explains that it\u2019s a suitcase bomb designed by Holzer Enterprises in Austria with private funding. As a matter of fact, Logan continues, he has defused two of those triggers. Now, they can\u2019t trigger a detonation if the circuit board breaks, and they\u2019re very fragile. \n\nJohn doesn\u2019t believe that Logan would dare do that. Logan smiles, and says that the units are rare and almost unaccounted for. He guesses that John has the last one. John won\u2019t lie to his brother and admits that he holds the cards. But he\u2019s just delaying things. John claims that he can have another control device manufactured in three points, at which point Logan will be dead. Or, John adds, Logan can make a better decision and join him. Logan won\u2019t kill people. \n\nJohn explains that they would give the people a week to evacuate the city. Bang goes Las Vegas, he says, and bang goes to U.S. economy. And then they would be there to pick up the pieces. John asks Logan if he doesn\u2019t see what he\u2019s going to give up. But Logan really doesn\u2019t, and says \u201Cnope.\u201D John has heard enough and orders his men to shoot Logan. He doesn\u2019t even care what gets hit in between; he just wants to see Wolverine\u2019s dead body. \n\nWolverine escapes the guards and makes it to the elevator. He makes it back to the lift and wants to go down with it, but John has followed Logan and jumps into the lift. They fight, and John snikts his claws out too! He slashes Logan with them, so angry that he\u2019ll kill all of Logan\u2019s surviving friends and family for this. Furious, Logan gets up and fights back. But it\u2019s still not enough to bring his brother down. John uses his powers and, with an enhanced punch, blows Logan out of the cliff. But, Logan manages to hold himself on the lift\u2019s door so he won\u2019t fall. \n\nLogan climbs back up, and notices his brother changing into a huge demon. John asks Logan if he realizes what he has thrown away. John claims to have all the answers Logan searched for his entire life. John knows about Rose. He knows what happened to Dog. He also knows about Jean Grey and the reason Sabretooth choose to let Logan live that time in Chicago. He knows why Wolverine has left the X-Men and he knows about the son Logan didn\u2019t even knew he had him, the one son with the latent mutant abilities similar to their powers. \n\nWolverine thinks that John is lying, but John tells Logan that he\u2019ll now never know the answer, because he\u2019ll be dead. John only hopes that, when he goes to visit his son, he\u2019ll accept him as his father! Logan still doesn\u2019t believe it. John tells James that it was all for nothing, and blew away his one chance. John says that, in five minutes, they\u2019ll be down at the base of the cable lift and Logan will be gone. John can make his way out of the fall since he\u2019s a survivor. John explains that when he\u2019ll be questioned about the death, his people will manufacture another trigger, and blow up Las Vegas post bail. James will die, John says, and he won\u2019t even know why he has been calling himself \u201CLogan\u201D for all these many years. \n\nJohn strikes out at Logan with his claws. Logan ducks away, and John\u2019s claws get stuck in the electrical wires! The lift drops down, and so do both John and Logan. They\u2019re seen by the crowd below them. They land in the woods on top of each other, and Logan has accidentally impaled his claws through John\u2019s stomach! With his final words, John says that he is glad that it happened this way. But he wants Logan to know that he had gotten more time to tell him about Rose. Logan screams. He can\u2019t believe this! John says that he was always proud of his little brother Logan, and dies. \n\nIt\u2019s starts to rain. Logan holds his now dead brother in his arms, while behind him lots of people with guns and a helicopter show up. But Wolverine doesn\u2019t even care."@en . "Claudio Castellini"@en .
