Faster! Move it, morons.
The last thing we need is him finding us.
Easy, Unicorn. Iron Man's been off the radar for weeks.
It's smooth sailing.
Look at this score!
This is still small time, Shrike.
Count Nefaria's days are numbered.
I hear there's serious competition
moving into town, new blood.
Alright, we're finished here. Let's get rollin', boys!
Ya see? In and out in two minutes.
Not a single sign of--
It's Iron Man!
That's not Iron Man, it's...
War Machine!
Drop your weapons and, uh...
Put your hands in the air and, uhh...
PEPPER: Wait, wait! Tell them to get on their knees.
Then put their hands behind their heads.
That's real police procedure!
Could you please hurry?
I'm in a rush to pick up a friend,
and he's rich so he tips really well.
[sigh]
Whoa!
Okay, everyone on your knees!
Hands behind your heads!
But hum...
Drop your weapons!
Seriously? Who is this guy?
Iron Man's cousin. Who cares!
Cut him down!
Uh!
Bad move, fellas.
Uh!
Rhodey? Rhodey, are you there?
I lost you. I'll call you right back!
Tony!
Uh!
Pepper! Pepper, hello?
[electronic signals]
Aw, great.
Tony!
You're finally back!
Oh, you've been gone so long!
I missed you. Everyone was worried.
Your birthday's soon!
Did you find your dad, Gene or the rings?
Ha ha! I'm happy to see you too.
And hum, no,
I didn't find the rings, or Gene... or dad.
But China's a big place
and I'm not done looking by a long shot.
How's Rhodey?
He's doing super awesome.
He's busting Unicorn and Killer Shrike as we speak!
Ow! Uh...
Gettin' up, eh?
Guess I'll have to set my horn to full power!
[screaming]
Unicorn! Argh!
Uh!
[action music]
Ah!
Stay down if you know what's good for you!
[laugh]
TONY: I don't know, Pepper.
I'm staring to wonder if everything Gene said was a lie.
He was the Mandarin.
I think he lied about dad being alive.
No! Let me... go!
Never!
If you don't, you'll never see your father alive again!
You're lying! My father's gone!
No, he isn't.
I took Howard because I needed information about the rings.
He played me for a fool, Pepper.
He lied, just so I'd let him go.
He stabbed us all in the back.
Ow!
I'm gonna drill my laser-horn
right through your spine, War Machine!
[grunt]
[scream]
Warning. Temperature rising. Danger level imminent.
Ugh... Gotta turn down the oven.
Firing shoulder rockets!
Oh!
[laugh]
Who calls themselves Unicorn anyway?
Not scary, dude!
KILLER SHRIKE: Argh!
Pepper, I'm heading to the meeting place.
I'll see you and Tony soon.
For all the bad things Gene did,
he saved all of our lives at least once. Me twice!
Pepper, he destroyed the plane that took my dad's life!
[vibration]
TONY: Dad!
Uh...
He took everything away from me and gave me this.
I know. I'm sorry. I just...
[sigh]
Where do you think Gene is?
Probably in some cushy penthouse in Hong Kong,
living it up.
[mysterious oriental music]
[effort grunt]
The translation was either wrong
or intentionally concealed the truth.
There aren't five rings of power, but ten.
And whoever wields them gains mastery over creation itself.
You don't know that for sure, Gene.
Bringing all ten rings together could have dire consequences.
So you keep saying, Stark.
But if you don't help me on this quest,
you'll never see your son again.
I am the last of the Khans,
the rightful bearer of the rings.
I am the Mandarin.
And I am getting close.
Why are we going to the Makluan Temple?
It's a surprise, something I was working on
before I left for China.
Rhodey should be waiting for us.
This better be good, Tony.
This place freaks me out to no end.
Exactly. No one comes here 'cause they're too scared to.
It's totally abandoned. The perfect place.
For what?
For this.
Wow!
You... you rebuilt the entire Armory!
RHODEY: In the Makluan temple?
It's kinda weird, but I like it.
It's nearly identical, with a few modifications.
Better defenses. No one's blowing up this place.
The computers are linked
to nearly every spy satellite in the world.
If Gene's out there, we'll find him.
And you get like, every cable channel in existence!
Do you get Breakdancing with Celebrities?
Oh! I love that show!
Can we not use the multi-satellite link-up
to watch incredibly lame TV, Pepper? Thank you.
Woah, woah, woah, woah! Look!
PEPPER: lt's Justin Hammer!
Who's Justin Hammer?
The cutest, richest 21 year old on the planet!
Look at his private jet, Tony.
[giggling]
It's way more expensive than yours!
Uh, who cares?
His company's also the biggest
weapons manufacturer in the world.
They're evil with a capital: Evil.
[sigh]
Why are the cute ones always bad?
Hush! Listen. I wanna hear him.
Last year, Hammer Multinational
has eclipsed Stark International,
becoming the leader in the field of electronics.
Why? Simple. Because we're the best!
So this is who you want?
Some overprivileged brat who inherited his father's fortune?
The brat's a multi-billionaire, Mr. Fix.
I want him taken alive and make sure people see you take him.
I want the city to know fear again.
Whatever you want, sir.
You've paid for all of my upgrades.
And you even footed the bill
for the recreation of my... favorite assassin.
The new and improved Whiplash 3.0.
Impressive. But can you use it to bring down Iron Man?
Iron Man is... nothing to me.
Show our esteemed employer what he's purchased.
Electrostatic whip shields,
able to reflect point-blank repulsors.
New enhanced circles
making him stronger than our armored friend.
And finally...
...flail bombs.
Powerful enough to detonate even the strongest armor.
Against cheap replicas.
I want the real thing.
I can promise you this:
Within 48 hours,
both Justin Hammer and Iron Man will be in our possession.
Alive, or in pieces.
[electronic signals]
Tony! It's been two days
and you haven't returned my 483 calls
and my 917 text messages.
Oh, go easy on me, Pepper.
Brain hurts... working... no sleep...
Yeah, no deodorant either.
Man, didn't you installed shower down here?
What's with the stubble? Looks like you're growing a goatee!
Ew, gross.
Facial hair so does not look good on you, Tony.
I really don't need this at 9 o'clock at night.
It's 2:30 in the afternoon.
Wow, you really are out of it.
Working on that other secret project?
Just another surprise I've been cooking up.
Pepper, are you watching TV again?
Oh, look, it's J.H.!
J.H. again?
Is there a Justin Hammer reality show?
PEPPER: And it's live news!
Tony, he's going into Stark International!
Oh, oh. He's meeting with Obadiah.
That can't be good.
I see that look in your eye.
You're gonna armor up and spy on them?
He's definitely armoring up.
You guys know me a little too well. Kinda scary!
[epic music]
Mr. Stane, Mr. Hammer's still waiting for you.
Make him wait another 10 minutes before sending him in.
Oh!
It's not polite to keep people waiting, Obadiah.
Especially not your future employer.
Don't bother getting comfortable. You're leaving.
Why do you have to be so pig-headed, Stane?
In a year, Tony Stark will take over,
and you'll be selling T-shirts in the lobby.
We'll see.
If you think I'll let some wet-behind-the-ears punk
buy out the company it took me years to acquire,
you're out of your mind.
I worked to get what I own...
[audio] ... unlike your questionable inheritance.
Good ol' Obadiah.
Too stubborn to sell out to a kid.
Just be thankful he has such a huge ego.
Oh look, Justin's leaving already!
Oh no, Whiplash!
RHODEY: Whiplash? I thought he was gone.
So did I!
[yell]
Easy does it!
Ah!
Argh... I think he just deep-fried my internal organs.
Iron Man...
You have no idea how ecstatic I am to see you.
Can't say I feel the same way.
Ah! Ow!
[suspenseful music]
Ah!
WHIPLASH: Justin Hammer!
You're coming with me.
Resistance would be... fatal.
-Electrical systems overloading. -I know, I feel it, thanks!
[effort grunt]
Uh... That had to have knocked him out.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Don't think this is over, Iron Man.
You'll be safe here. Are you okay?
I am. Thanks to you, Iron Man.
That was impressive.
Why don't you work for me, as my bodyguard?
Sorry. I'm not the bodyguard type.
Sell me the armor outright. Every man has his price.
Not every Iron Man.
PEPPER: He kicked you, he whipped you,
after he electrified you. He blew you up...
Thanks for the recap, coach. It's not like I wasn't there.
My enemies are getting stronger. I'll have to upgrade too.
I got your back. He won't stand a chance against both of us.
I don't know, Rhodey.
Yes! Tony's back! Alright!
Hey Happy.
Well hello Whitney.
Long time no see, little dude!
Yes! I can finally get my grades up by cheating off...
Uh... I mean... studying with you again! Ha!
Tony!
[moan]
How did you get back here?
I thought they'd kicked you out for good.
Oh, you know, charm, good grades...
A donation to rebuild the entire science lab didn't hurt.
[cough]
Tony!
The new miniature particle accelerator is phenomenal.
Could you show me exactly how it works?
Uh, sure. No problem, Professor.
Whiplash.
You lost Justin Hammer and Iron Man.
Iron Man's a pathetic coward.
I promise you, the next time we meet,
I will bring him to you in a box.
Both armor, and pilot.
Fail me again, and I'll dismantle you for scrap.
Understand?
SHADOWY MAN: Fix.
Where is the armor?
You'll have it before daybreak, sir.
I'd better.
And I have a new target for you as well.
Bring me Obadiah Stane.
[suspenseful music]
Seriously, how hard can it be
to spot a freak with whips on a flying saw blade?
I'm not picking up anything.
Let's circle back to Hammer.
Only if we circle back through a drive-thru. I'm starving.
Picking up something fast on the radar.
Zooming in.
Whiplash! He's heading for Stark International!
TONY: He's heading for Stane!
[suspenseful music]
Aaah!
TONY: Let him go Whiplash!
I got him!
Can't you just let Whiplash have him?
He is such a huge pain and all. Ha ha!
-Kidding! But not really. -TONY: I know what you mean.
But Stane's still sort of a person.
I mean, kind of. Right?
Let me go, you freak!
Believe me, I'd love to drop you
a thousand feet over Wall Street.
But alas...
Hold on.
Ow!
Rhodey!
This guy's starting to irritate me.
I'll hit him high, you grab Stane low!
Aaahhh!
Gotcha!
[♪♪♪]
Stay put, Stane.
Stay put?
Where am I supposed to go?
I'll take him down with the Unibeam.
Wait. Doesn't that drain too much power?
I don't think we have a choice.
Aaah!
Tony! Tony, are you alive?
[moaning in pain]
Forget it, Whiplash!
[frustrated grunt]
Ah!
[countdown beeping]
That can't be good.
[car horns]
[suspenseful music]
Rhodey...
Argh!
[frightened screams]
Are you okay?
I feel like someone threw me off the moon.
Uh...
Come on. We can't lose them. Pepper, do you see them?
They're two miles southeast of you.
Hey, have I told you how much fun this chair thing is? Weee!
TONY: Let's go.
OBADIAH: Aaah!
Not again!
Well, look what the stork dropped.
What a big baby you are!
I demand you put me down right now, you metal moron!
[laughing] And it talks, too!
Aren't you cute?
I think I'll call you... Pickles.
Grrrr...
[frustrated grunts]
[epic music]
Alright Stane, hold onto your toupee and... don't look down.
-WHIPLASH: Ya! - Aaah!
Uh!
[effort grunt] Ah!
[truck horn] Oops!
[pain grunts]
[effort grunt]
[action music]
Wah! Ah!
[effort grunt]
[pain grunt]
[pain grunts]
Your destruction is nigh, Iron Man.
Last time we met, I never had a chance to use... this!
[yelling in pain]
COMPUTER: Warning. Armor integrity compromised.
Systems at 5% and falling.
Eject.
Eject armor!
Eject release not responding.
Eject override! Eject now!
Invasive bomb detonation in... 3... 2...
Eject!
Tony!
[somber music]
[evil laugh]
[moaning in pain]
It's okay, bro. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine.
This is Tony Stark. He had an accident and needs help!
I, hum... I've never seen a heart monitor like this before.
He needs Doctor Yinsen,
the specialist who saved him before.
Please, can you help us?!
T... Tony!
What is it, old man?
I just had a terrible feeling.
Something happened to my son. Today's his... his birthday.
He is far more resilient...
[deep voice] ...than you know. Believe me.
And believe this:
I must be the true Mandarin,
for I have found another piece of my destiny!
Behold!
The sixth Makluan temple!
[heartbeat]
It's his birthday today, you know. He's turning 17.
I was...
...working on a surprise party for him.
In one year, Tony gets Stark International.
It just makes me wonder,
was this an accident or deliberate?
[dramatic music]
[grunting in pain]
[heartbeat accelerates]
Can we get a doctor in here? Someone help! We need a doctor!
