[heartbeat accelerates]
[moaning in pain]
Someone help us!
We need a doctor in Tony's room!
Somebody! Anybody! He needs help.
His heart monitor isn't working!
Please step back, ma'am.
We don't understand this experimental tech.
We contacted the specialist who knows the tech,
he'll be here any minute.
[moaning in pain]
I don't think we have a minute.
Get me 300 cc's of Cardioprin, stat!
[moaning in pain]
[heartbeat failing]
Oh no. Tony!
[melancholic music]
[♪♪♪]
[tense music]
Clear!
[shock]
Oh please, Tony. Please make it, please.
He's gonna make it, Pepper. You'll see.
-Stop! You'll kill him! -Who are you?
Dr. Yinsen, Stark medical tech specialist.
Get the boy prepped for surgery. Now!
Will he be okay?
I won't let him go, miss. I promise you.
Let's go over this one more time, James.
Stop being a lawyer, mom.
I told you. It was a car accident.
They said it's like he's been attacked.
Who would have done that?
The armor is more damaged than desired, but salvageable.
You destroyed the pilot?
No one could have survived that explosion, Mr. Fix.
[muffled screams]
It looks like Stane is becoming social again.
Whiplash?
[muffled screams]
Ah!
You think I'm intimidated
by a bunch of second-string thugs like you?
Let me go or--
Let me show you some manners.
Ah!
Wait! Wait. This is preposterous.
Whatever they're paying you, I'll double it right now.
And I'll triple the price for the armor!
[snicker]
You don't have the kind of money our employer has.
Greetings, Obadiah Stane.
Cut the charade, Count Nefaria. I know it's you.
Let me pay my ransom and stop this!
There is no ransom, Stane.
I'm taking you out of the picture...
...permanently.
Lock him away until I arrive.
[melancholic music]
Tony Stark is...
...dead. [gasping in shock]
Kidding! Tony is alive and well!
-Woo-hoo! I knew it! - He made it!
And surprisingly strong.
He's fighting the anesthesia.
He's always been a fighter, a survivor.
Are you his guardian?
Yes. I was his father's lawyer before he passed on.
Tony is definitely his father's son.
Hurry. The trigger to the secret chamber
must be hidden close by.
You're not even looking!
Well, call me crazy, but I don't really want you
to find all rings and rule the world.
I see where Tony gets his arrogance.
Refuse to help me, and you'll never see Tony again.
I have had enough!
The sixth ring lies beyond this wall.
You first, old man. Just in case there are any...
...traps.
[eerie music]
Ah!
[metal clinking]
[effort grunt]
Real noble of you, Gene.
Next time, the one wearing the magic rings goes first.
Behold!
The Mandarin has found it!
The sixth guardian!
Gene, the Island natives call it The Melter.
Is it a good idea to wake it up?
Silence, Stark.
I must defeat it to claim the sixth Makluan ring!
I can't believe you're recovering so quickly.
You're out in a week.
A week? I'm...
[sigh]
I can't wait that long, Dr. Yinsen.
Well, you're going to have to.
Nothing can be that urgent.
Oh, by the way, you have visitors.
Happy Birthday!
Rhodey! Pepper!
Welcome back, Tony.
I got these from the gift shop.
I knew you were gonna make it.
Sure, I was scared, but it was never a question in my mind.
And Tony...
You're the best friend I could have.
You mean the world to me too. You both do.
Am I interrupting your little love fest?
J... Justin Hammer?
You're... you're... You're Justin Hammer!
[laugh]
Indeed I am, Miss...?
P-P-Pepper.
[cough]
Pepper Potts!
And I'm James Rhodes.
My friends call me Rhodey.
Pleased, James. Anthony!
Looking well I see!
A gift for the world's second richest young man.
TONY: Wow, it's a...
It's a broken head.
It's a 2000-year-old bust
of the Roman Emperor Nero, Stark.
Hum, it's very...
...expensive!
Thanks Justin.
May I speak with Tony alone, please?
Sure! Of course, Justin, it's no problem at all.
I was just quietly admiring you! [giggle]
Did I think it or say it out loud?
Come on, Pepper!
Let me get to the point, Tony. In one year, you turn 18.
Why not let me buy Stark International?
I'll run the company, you'll be the tech! We'll make billions!
You'll just make weapons, Justin.
I want to make tech that helps people,
advances the world!
Do you know why I like Emperor Nero, Tony?
He did what he had to do to take power.
He wiped out his family to control an empire.
Oh yeah, and he was also insane.
For the last time, Justin, I told you. I won't sell.
We'll see, Stark.
Get well... soon.
Why didn't you tell me you knew Justin?
You never said anything.
Is he evil for making weapons? Didn't your dad did it?
But I mean, either way, he is so cute!
I'm getting out of here tonight. Prison-break style.
What?! But you just can't--
Cool!
I'm going with or without your help.
So please, Rhodey. Help me.
If you end up hurt, I swear--
I'm gonna be fine, mom. We have to save Stane.
If anything happens to him, the company is up for grabs!
Hey! What are you kids doing?
We're... Hum...
[awkward laugh] ...going for a stroll?
Push faster Rhodey!
Uh-oh.
That way! That way!
Ah aha!
Tony!
Whooah!
-Whoa! -Oh no.
Ah!
Are you okay?
Yeah...
[pain grunt]
Sorry, mister!
Hey!
There better be a real good reason for this, Tony.
Best. Ever.
There is. Something that will help me in more ways than one.
Introducing...
...the Iron Man Mark 2 armor!
I knew it!
All that time, you were building a new armor!
That is the best thing ever! Aren't you too hurt to wear it?
Well, the life support systems will help the healing process.
Time to suit up!
[heroic music]
[metal clinking]
Aha! Sweet style, right? Check out the upgrades!
Super cool!
Three-pack mini-missile launcher,
accurate up to 2000 feet.
Mega super cool!
Put on those ear protectors.
Sonic Disruptors, adapted from my Arctic Armor!
Well...?
Uber mega super cool!
And I also enhanced the force fields,
so now I can do this.
[effort grunts]
Yeah, but is it soundproof?
[fake laugh] Very funny, James.
Wait, wait, wait! Check this out!
What?
Since you're Iron Man, and Rhodey's War Machine,
shouldn't I have my very own armor too?
Iron... Woman?
Ugh, that's super lame.
I'm thinking about a name.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, isn't that design the sweetest?
[embarrassed laugh]
Uh-oh. You know when Pepper latches onto something...
Please, Tony!
Please, oh, please, please, please, please!
Oooh, boy. Eh, I'll think about it.
[giggle]
But for now, let's focus on finding Stane.
Are you with me?
This is crazy. We should just let them have the old buzzard!
Woo-hoo!
[in pain] Guards!
What do you want, Stane?
I'm... I'm not well.
I need to use the bathroom. Now.
If you try anything funny, old man...
Bathroom's right over--
I spend a lot of time playing chess.
Sleight-of-hand brings a huge advantage.
Now move!
[pain grunt]
[suspenseful music]
BLIZZARD: Well, well, well!
Blizzard!
Looks like the rat got out of its cage.
Why are you here, Donny?
Mr. Fix hired me for security. I told him I'd do it
if I was the one that gets to ice you.
Ah!
No!
[evil laugh]
[effort grunt]
Aaah!
I can't wait to turn
your eyeballs into ice cubes, Stane.
The armor is far more damaged than initially estimated.
The circuitry is... largely gone.
Gone?!
You better give me something, Fix.
I'm on my way to your location now!
We're not out of the game yet, sir.
I've learned enough to program my Microwave Emitter Cannon.
We can't make the same mistake with War Machine.
This will fry the pilot inside like a TV dinner
but leave the armor intact.
[heroic music]
PEPPER: How will you guys ever find Stane?
There's two million places in the city
that you could use as a hideouts!
TONY: Easy. Stane was kidnapped by Whiplash.
Whiplash's boss is Mr. Fix.
Mr. Fix uses a specific computer system I examined.
Can you trace it?
Like ants to a picnic.
[alarm beeping]
Someone is attempting to pinpoint our location.
War Machine.
Why aren't you shutting the systems down?
He'll trace us!
That's exactly what I want.
Let him come. All I need is one clean shot.
They're at the warehouse near the waterfront.
[suspenseful music]
Our sensors are being scrambled.
MR. FIX: So, you took care of Iron Man?
It must be a different pilot. it has to be!
Blizzard, send the guards to intercept our guests.
Bring 'em down!
TONY: Won't you guys ever learn?
[sonic wave]
Enjoy your nap break, boys. You've earned it.
Ah!
He'll be okay. In a few days...
Pepper, I'm linking us to the system
for digital-sonar mapping.
An interference is screwing up the computers.
Like dolphin sonar? Oh, oh, oh!
I want that in my armor too. And laser grenades!
We're getting a map reading thingy now.
I see Stane!
He's this way...
Tony, I'm picking up three others.
Right next to you!
[energy buzzing]
-Uh! -Iron Man!
You can't run from a Blizzard.
Oh no!
[ice crackling]
[ominous music]
Whoever you are, I must say, I like the new armor.
This time when I peel it off,
I'll make sure nothing's left inside to crawl out.
Tony, get up! Do something!
[moaning in pain]
Time to be rid of you.
What?!
[effort grunt]
Aaah!
Yes! I knew you weren't down!
Not yet.
Your little microwave gun's outdated, Fix.
I'm new and improved!
Ah!
War Machine, if you can hear me,
raise your temperature by 300 degrees!
How do you do that? Oh wait,
it's this thing here on my H.U.D.
Aaah! Ah!
Aaah!
[pain moan]
Tony, look out!
I'm upgraded as well, Iron Man.
Take my new liquid helium cannon.
Nothing on Earth is colder!
Uh!
Yah!
That's impossible!
Aaah!
Uh!
Ah!
Tony! Your heart can't take much more of this!
[pain moan]
Not... much... choice.
The Microwave Emitter may not work against Iron Man,
but your armor isn't quite so advanced, is it?
Finish him, Blizzard!
Ah!
[pain grunt]
Tony, get up!
[with difficulty] ...Can't... too weak...
Tony, you have to get up! You can't let him beat you!
It's over, Iron Man.
Ah!
Ha! Try firing now!
Ah!
Cryo-circuits overheating!
[ice crackling]
[tense music]
Aaah!
Hum... Something's cooking.
Ah!
Not you too, Rhodey! Both of you, get up!
Right now! I mean it!
No good, Pep... Can't...
Ya! - Aaah!
C-computers, targ...
[whiplashes] Aaah! Aaah!
T... target... missile lock...now!
-What?! -Fire!
[pain grunt]
Yes! Get him, Iron Man! Get him!
[epic music]
Aaah!
How do you like it, Whiplash?
You sadistic--
Aaah!
We're not through yet, Iron Man.
You may have gotten in a few lucky shots,
but never again!
[pain yell]
Aaah!
Pepper! Systems... locked up... Help!
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no!
I'm trying!
Hum, I know there's a manual
override-remote-control-thingy right here?
That's it!
[tense music]
No!
WHIPLASH: Goodbye, Iron Man.
You were almost a worthy opponent.
Wish I could say... the same... about... you.
Computer, redirect all power to the Unibeam!
Aaah!
Yes! You did it!
TONY: I... think so?
Ah... War Machine.
You okay?
My brain feels like microwaved marshmallows.
How 'bout you?
Uh, feels like I went one-on-one with a psychotic power plant.
Come on, we have to get Stane.
Well!
As much as I'd love to see you prisoner here--
Iron Man?
Don't think I'll thank you.
I'll still own that armor, one way or another.
I wasn't expecting any medals from you.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Wait, you'll just leave me here?
Hmm. I'll drop you off.
Iron Man!
Get me down from here, you soon to be obsolete piece of tin!
You...you...
Get me down!
[out of breath]
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: Get inside, Mr. Fix. Now.
You have failed me.
You! Who are you really?
Greetings, Mr. Fix. You work for me now.
Hammer? You hired us to abduct...
...you?
In front of a crowd of people, yes.
I needed an alibi if I wanted to liquefy Stane
and take Stark's company.
But because of you...
we failed.
Sir, I promise you...
[gasp]
What is this?
A nano-virus that is interfacing with your neuralnetics now.
Run away, try to hurt me,
and it attacks your brain in six seconds.
You will be permanently... fixed.
What do you want?
Weapons.
The greatest weapons in the world.
I'm going to make Iron Man obsolete.
I was worried sick!
I leave to get dinner for 20 minutes
and you just run off?!
Roberta, I uh, I needed to get some tech.
This healing accelerator will boost my recovery by 60%!
It was my fault too, mom.
I agree, it was mostly their fault.
Aha...Kidding! I was a part of it.
I know. I've already called your father, Patricia.
And James, we will talk when we get home.
All I have to say to you Tony,
is what would your father think of this?
MANDARIN: Step away, Stark!
Huh?
Well... I guess I should thank you for saving my life...
Except you dragged me into this to begin with!
I do not care about your life, only your knowledge, Stark.
But as of now, all I care about is this.
The sixth Makluan ring!
Six down... four to go.
And then the world belongs to the Mandarin.
