1x01 - Japan: Enter Iron Man
transcript by f1nc0
I would like to welcome you on board this evening.
We're showing blue skies and good visibility.
So we hope you'll sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.
What?
What the ...
Tower, do you copy?
Tower, eastbound jet comin´ in hot, we just had a miss up here.
Do you copy?
Yes, it was the corporate jet of Stark Industries ...
with the CEO on board.
It seems that he is ahead of his flight plan.
Tony Stark?
That was Iron Man.
It all begins here "the land of the rising sun".
Dr. Tanaka?
I'm sorry.
I've just didn't expect the head of the lab 23...
and my right hand man in Japan to be a woman.
- And such a pretty one in that. - Allow me to say, sir.
It's an honor to be working with the man ...
behind Iron Man.
So, where to first?
You have a meeting with Minister of defence at 8:00.
Meeting? Come on, let's do something fun, I've just got here.
I was thinking maybe to grab something to eat, if you're hungry.
Perhaps you heard the expression, "Time is money."
No, never. I can see you've got a lot to teach me, Doctor.
You know, I'm not get turning down a lot.
I kind of liked it.
Good evening Mr. Stark, welcome to Japan.
I appreciate you taken your time to welcome me personally, thank you.
So that's the Arc Station below?
Right next to U.S. military base.
Yes, by the way, I'm sorry for all of this.
I truly wish, I had the time to give you a proper tour of Kyoto.
Not at all, you couldn't ask for more incredible view.
It is inspiring to see our two countries united.
Working together for the common goal.
Very much so.
I wanna tell you how grateful I'm for the opportunity ...
to build Arc Station in Japan.
I honestly believe ...
this could be the first step to the world peace.
I hope so.
But tell me, Mr. Stark ...
is there any truth to the rumors that you're retiring Iron Man?
There is, but I wouldn't worry to much, Minister ...
DIO, my new Iron Man prototype ...
is ready for mass production.
Mass production?
- That's very impressive. - Impressive indeed.
The training of my replacements has already begun.
I see, but you yourself are really cushing the role?
I've hung up my armor ...
in fact, I've put it on splay at my house.
It's just a museum piece now.
Remarkable to willingly give up such power.
Oh well, meanwhile, let's get down to business.
We have an Arc Station ...
to get up on runing, Minister Kuroda.
We can't keep the world waiting.
What exactly is the reactor's status, Dr. Tanaka?
As at this morning we are at 90% completion.
Extraordinary.
I knew that your people at lab 23 are good.
But I didn't know, they're this good.
Of course, ultimately we won't be able to proceed...
without the plutonium priming device.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.
But I do, Mr. Stark.
I think we have to be concern about ...
what the Japanese public's reaction will be to all this.
Yes, it's a pretty grand picture alright.
Unlimited free energy forever.
I mean, that be terrible, who at the right mind would want that?
I'm afraid some people might not be able view at the way you do.
If you hoped to succeed here, Mr. Stark ...
perhaps you should try to understand the Japanese way of thinking.
Ok then, why don't you educate me?
What I've gotta do, to make the Japanese will fall in love with me?
You might try a little more humility.
Humility?
Oh, that's a tough one, I'm not even sure what it means.
Your mind is miles away, Tony.
I don't think I ever seen you so... Zen-like.
It's nothing, I'm fine. I's just been a long day, Pepper.
Anyway, what's the news?
The Iron Man DIO prototype is completed ...
and the first batch of trainees are on their way to Japan.
Excellent.
How is life in "the land of the rising sun"?
You know, good food, beautiful women.
What's not to like?
But best thing of all, Pepper,
the Japanese really seem to be on board with the Arc Station.
This is the perfect place to launch my initiative.
Great, it sounds like it's all coming together.
Couldn't be better.
You know, we were right to start this project in Japan.
Right here, this is it Pepper, this is where my dream finally comes true.
I just hope they appreciate what you're trying to do over there.
Nanami, what the hell is this?
Overwritten and sentimental!
You call this news story? Well, I call it trash!
What do you really think?
I am starting to think your skills might be better applied for another line of work.
- Like finding a husband. - I volunteer, totally!
- You stay out of this! - You guys ...
are so enlighten and sensitive.
You wanna see a reporting, look at this!
What? Tony Stark is here?
It's called news!
And I'm tired of competition to get into it first!
You understand? So get out of here and get on that story!
Some things are worth waiting for.
Gentlemen, I give you Iron Man DIO.
Mass production can begin ...
as soon as passing the inspection, sir.
Well, that's fine.
But the most high tech hardware is only as good as the man behind it.
- You guys are what I came to see. - Thank you, Mr. Stark, sir.
It is an honor to be chosen for this project.
- You can count on us, sir. - That's good news.
Alright then, who's the lucky lady gets the first dance?
I'll be pilot, unless of course, you would wrap.
No, no. This is your show.
I'll be up in the cheap seats.
Hard to believe all this came up of that guy's brain.
The man is a genius.
Well, he's smart enough to know when step a side when the next generation take over.
- Yeah. - That's right.
- Where was the impact? - Here, sir.
- It was right on target, direct hit. - Yes, sir.
- And it's... still standing. - What?
I'm showing no damage.
Extraordinary, not a scratch on it.
As we say in my country, "you ain't seen nothing, yet."
Time for the flight test, Mr. Stark.
Of course, the moment we all have been waiting for.
Let's find out what 1.5 billion dollars can do. Shall we?
We're ready, sir. You won't be disappointed.
- It's him, Mr. Stark! - Mr. Stark!
Is it true that your Arc Station is just a front ...
for military weapon's development?
You guys make me feel right at home.
Reporters in my country asked stupid questions too.
Can you explain the purpose of the station?
Sure I can.
Ok, here's your headline:
The Arc Station will supply unlimited energy ...
that is absolutely clean and totally free.
For free? But how is that possible?
Well, if I explain that, I'll board the pants off everyone ...
- ...including me. - There are no military applications?
Of course not.
Listen, Stark Industries ...
was involved in the defense industry in the past.
But today, we're at the four front at the march for global peace.
And the Arc reactor is just the start.
Mr. Stark, to change the subject for a moment, tell us about Iron Man.
Will you be putting on your armor and going into action ...
while you're here in Japan?
That's a good question. No, I will not.
In fact, my days as Iron Man are over
- I am officially retired. - Retired? Are you kidding?
But you can't.
You'll still have an Iron Man, folks, ...
it just won't be me.
Nanami, go on, ask him something.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
- I'm so sorry. - Well, hello.
If you wanted a one on one, all you had to do was ask.
I don't bite.
You jerk! How dare you?
Wow, Nanami.
Welcome, and thank you all for coming.
In collaboration with your own Defence Force ...
I'd like to put on a small demonstration as a token of my esteem ...
for your great country.
So now I let you all just sit back and relax ...
hang on your hats and let the show begin.
- Look who it is! - It's Tony Stark!
- Tony. - What a show off.
Look at him, sure doesn't look like chief seats me.
That was the shorter retirement in history.
So much for humility.
This isn't good.
Oh no!
What in the world...?
- What was that weird flashlight? - Hello?
Are you alright?
I'm alright, that's nothing.
But I still got feeling in my left cheek. Thanks very much.
- Yeah, sorry about that. - Mr. Stark, are you alright?
I'm fine, Doc, the earth broke my fall.
I can't say the same for DIO though.
All mechanical systems were shut down.
I see.
I leave it here for your team to pick up.
- I meet you back at the station. - We're on our way.
I wonder if I can ask you a favor.
I suppose so.
Would you mind terribly giving me a ride home?
Sure... I mean no. I mean... I'd be happy to.
Oh, in return would you give me an exclusive interview?
I'm Nanami Ota, from the Tokyo Journal.
Where to start? Come on Nanami, think, think!
You know, most reporters who interview me ...
ask me at least one question.
Tell me, so are your retiring or aren't you?
Oh, that was it...
today was the last time you saw me in Iron Man's armor.
At least until the next time.
I think I know what your next question is.
It's what everyone wants know sooner or later.
Oh, really? And what question is that?
Does Tony Stark closes his eyes when he kisses?
I'll get out here, before you take another swing at me.
You still owe me an interview!
I thought there might be a bug in the A.I. code.
But that's not it.
What caused that flashlight I saw?
Mr. Stark, I have a trainee team running ...
a full diagnostic test of DIO's armor.
Thank you, Doctor.
Let me know the results immediately.
- Okay, we're ready. - Ready.
There is anything wrong with it as far as I can see.
Oh, maybe it's too much machine for the old man.
Hey, what is it? What's the matter?
Hang on, we're get you out of there.
What do you think is going on?
Are you okay in there?
- He's targeting us. - What are you doing, no, stop!
Dr. Tanaka! What's going on?
What just happened?
I'm not sure.
All I can tell is that prototype just ...
attacked two of the trainees.
So that's it.
- We've been compromised. - What, compromised?
Reprogrammed.
Sombody has hacked in the prototype's operating system ...
and taked it over.
- But how? - I don't know.
I can't figure it out, it doesn't matter.
What matters it is now, they've got control of the DIO.
It all started with the malfunction.
And that strange flash flight.
Mr. Stark, it appears DIO is heading outside.
Don't let it out! Put the whole place on lockedown!
Understood. Right away.
Close blocks 5 and 6!
The blast doors are not stopping it ...
It's approaching block 7.
Slow it down, I'm on my way.
We will hold it as long as we can.
Close all blast doors and secure the perimeter!
Well, my old friend ...
it looks like you and me have one last rodeo.
There you are.
Playtime is over.
Not bad.
But you're just a knock off.
There is only one... Iron Man.
Hoopsie, I hope I didn't wound him a lot.
- Hey buddy. - Impact imminent.
- Iron Man. - That's me.
- Who're you? - I am Scorpio.
A warrior of a great Zodiac.
- Zodiac? - Yes.
Now die.
- I am only beginning. - Alright, good lookin'.
Time to say goodnight.
What?
The DIO armor... it's gone.
Well, so much for an early retirement.
