Logan tells Caliban to take Pierce out into the desert and leave him there. Logan claims Laura is not there and, when Pierce persists, Laura throws a pipe at his head, knocking him out. However, Logan correctly predicts that she'll be found and, soon enough, Pierce comes knocking at their door. Xavier excitedly hosts the young girl and tries to convince Logan that she needs their help. Logan returns home, dejected, but is stunned to find that Laura has stowed away in the trunk of his limo. Logan takes Gabriela's cell phone and finds she was in the process of sending him a text telling him to hurry as they've been found. However, when he returns to the motel, he finds that Gabriela has been murdered and Laura is missing. There, he tells Xavier that their dream of leaving and buying a boat may actually become reality. Logan reluctantly agrees and heads home to prepare. She offers Logan $50,000 to help them reach a place called 'Eden' in North Dakota en route to Canada before handing him an envelope with coordinates written on it and $20,000 inside. There, he comes across Gabriela again with the young girl whom Gabriela says is her 11 year old daughter, Laura ( Dafne Keen). Later he receives a notification for two passengers and drives to a motel. Caliban explains that it's hard caring for Xavier, especially when Logan won't communicate about his own needs which are more than evident to the albino. Logan argues with Caliban about obtaining enough medicine for Xavier. Xavier has become broken since the loss of his school and fellow X-Men some time ago and says that Logan is just waiting for him to die. Logan must administer a special serum to keep Xavier's episodes under control, though the doses often leave him confused and senile. Thanks to his mutation, the seizures produce staggering psionic blasts which paralyze anyone within reach. Charles has been reduced to a shell of his former self, crippled and suffering from a degenerative brain disease which produces seizures. Logan heads into Mexico to an abandoned plant where he and the clairvoyant mutant Caliban ( Stephen Merchant), an albino psychic, are taking care of Xavier ( Patrick Stewart). The card reads that Donald is head of security at 'Alkali-Transigen', a biotechnological corporation. He hands Logan a card and tells him to call when he finds Gabriela again. Pierce says he knows Logan was contacted by a person of interest and claims that he only wants what Gabriela has something she took from him. He appears to know much about Logan, saying he's aware of his unofficial participation in the killing of the gang members and alludes to Logan's side job as caretaker for one Charles Xavier just south of the border. One morning a man enters Logan's limo, introducing himself as Donald Pierce ( Boyd Holbrook). Gabriela drives off as a young girl in the back seat stares at Logan. She claims to know who he is and asks for his help, but Logan turns her away. While he waits for a client at a funeral, he is approached by a woman named Gabriela Lopez ( Elizabeth Rodriguez). He also carries an adamantium bullet with him in case he ever decides to end it all. Logan now makes a living driving for a limo service in El Paso, Texas under his birth name, James Howlett. Mutants are on the brink of extinction and no new ones have been born in 25 years. As a result, his body aches and he coughs up blood on occasion. His superhuman healing ability is failing and the adamantium in his body is slowly killing him. Looking no older than 50, Logan has still aged to over 170 years and is no longer the same fighter he once was. He fights the gang, receiving his share of abuse as they beat him down, but manages to brutally maim and kill most of them before the rest run away. Standing up, Logan reveals his claws, an act that is evidently painful, but one doesn't extend all the way. Logan calmly attempts to intervene but one of the gang members blasts him with a shotgun. He stumbles out and finds a Mexican gang trying to steal the limo's wheels. Logan ( Hugh Jackman), formerly the Wolverine, wakes up in the back of a limo, groggy and disheveled. The theatrical release of Logan was preceded by the short film Deadpool: No Good Deed (2017).
