[rumbling]
[man] Your family would prefer you focus on the armor, Ivan.
I feel like I am a million miles away from them, Anton.
ANTON: You are, my friend.
Crimson Dynamo to Prometheus 1. I'm going in closer.
ANTON: No, Ivan! You've already exceeded the parameters.
But my armor is holding.
It's almost a million degrees here,
and I haven't even broken a sweat.
[computer] Armor systems are functioning at 100%.
Warning. Radiation build-up on the solar surface.
No! No! That can't be! We mapped the entire region!
Vanko, get inside now!
Delphi has detected a solar flare right under you!
Vanko! Do you copy?
No...
Argh!
[computer] Life support failure. Oxygen level at 20%.
Vanko!

-Are you even listening to me? -I'm guessing, 'no.'
You're a genius scientist, Tony,
and Pepper and I are here doing our science project without you!
-Agh! -Tony, it's due tomorrow.
If you don't get back here,
we'll have to make a clay and baking soda volcano,
and then we'll all have to leave the academy out of shame!
I'm kind of busy right now, guys.
Just give me two seconds.
[screaming]
Yargh!
Look man, I've given up all my free time,
I've lied to my parents, I've always been there for you.
You lied to me for weeks!
Argh!
[cheering]
[man] Yeah! That's it, Iron Man!
[cheering]
Er... what is that? Are you at a baseball game?
Give me that! Tony, if you want to blow off school, fine,
but don't take us down with you!
I am not abandoning you!
I've just got a lot going on, so cut me some slack --
[computer] Proximity alert.
Wow!
Tony, are you there?
Yeah. I'm gonna be a little late getting back to the lab.
[yells] Clay and baking soda!
The meteor struck a freeway that's under construction.
No-one appears to have been on the site.
Wait! There's... There's something moving in there!
Take us in closer!
It appears to be walking. No, wait, it's stopping now.
Getting in front of it.
It's... It's picking up a steam roller, and it's... Oh, no.
Attention, helicopters. Fly away. Now!
Yeah, right! Stay on him, but a little further back.
Whoa, whoa, big guy.
You can't just throw giant steam rollers at...
That's rude, buddy. I was talking.
OK, I can fly and talk. Who are you?
What's this all about? What do you want?
Pegasus.
What? You want a winged horse?
Urgh!
Does he wear the armor under his clothes?
Is it comfy? Does it have AC? Have you been in the armor?
Pepper, shh!
Is this what it's like for you, always covering for Tony?
Isn't your mom a lawyer? Won't she figure this out?
She will if you don't lower your voice!
Mom!
Mom, do we have any clay?
Hi, Mrs. Rhodes! I wasn't saying anything before.
Shh! Look at this... this is happening downtown, right now.
That's-- That's--
Gotta go, mom! Science project!
I tried to talk it out. I really did.
Wow. My repulsors, they just...
The armor just dispersed them. That's incredible...
Hey, where are you...
Oh, no! He's going toward the city.
I guess we'll do this the old fashioned way.
[clang]
[groans]
Oh!
RHODEY: Tony, are you there? What's going on?
Come in, Tony! Tony!
Tony!
TONY: Ow...
[both sigh]
Tony, it's me, Pepper. I'm in your secret hideout!
-Are you OK? -Oh, I'm awesome, Pepper.
I just got the snot beaten out of me
by a giant robot from outer space!
Somebody's cranky.
[groans]
Can you see? Look at the symbol. He said, 'Pegasus.'
-The winged horse? - Just look it up!
I'm going after him.
RHODEY: Are you nuts? You got demolished!
Let the police handle this, or, better yet, the military!
What? It's heading into the city right now!
You're there, Tony, and you're a superhero.
You're Iron Man! Go take that thing down!
[computer] Comms disabled.
Are you out of your mind? Don't tell him that!
You saw what it did to him. He could get killed!
This isn't a game!
And you think it's a game for the police, or the military?
[computer] Communications enabled.
TONY: What are you, on a coffee break? Hello?
You could have told me you were fighting a robot, Tony.
I feel like a jerk for yelling at you over the science project.
I promise I'll help you guys with the project. If I live.
So can you look up that symbol
before I let this thing beat me up again?
- I'm on it! -Huh?
Yay, team Iron Man!
[Delphi] I.D. match positive. The Crimson Dynamo has returned.
It's just... It's not possible.
The creature... the robot... whatever it is,
will reach the city in minutes.
Police are evacuating everyone,
but there may be little hope of stopping--
Wait! It's Iron Man! He's alive!
Rhodey, I'm not even scratching it.
-I'm going to use the uni-beam. -No way! It uses too much power.
Think this through! You can't just charge in, guns blazing!
You're right. I need bigger guns.
What's a uni-beam? Wait... I found something!
Project Pegasus. I'm in a government network.
The number is for a space suit,
designed by a Russian cosmonaut named Ivan Vanko.
TONY: Well, at least it's not aliens.
Oh!
Ivan Vanko died two years ago.
-Huh? -What?!
Died, as in dead? I have to fight ghosts now?
RHODEY: Tony, watch out! -Ow!
[groans]
-Wow! -Oh!
[footsteps approach]
[groans]
Oh, nuts!
Oh!
Tony?
OK, I'm ready to try the whole thinking thing now.
Smart man.
Pepper, is there anything else on Project Pegasus?
Pepper? Pepper!
I've got an address.
It... it looks like Vanko's heading right there. Rhodey...
He's OK, Pepper. What's the address?
There's a guy in an armored space suit heading this way,
and he seems a little upset.
As in, 'tear this entire building apart' upset.
You don't know anything about that, do you?
I do, Iron Man, and I deserve what's coming.
When the solar flare struck,
Ivan was knocked out of orbit and fell toward the sun.
Communication was lost. He was gone.
The station was going to suffer the same fate,
and we had no choice, but to abandon the mission.
And then the unthinkable happened.
[Delphi] Incoming transmission from the Crimson Dynamo.
VANKO: Prometheus One! Harkov, anyone! Can you hear me?
Vanko... Vanko, you're alive!
VANKO: Ivan achieved an orbit close to the surface of the sun,
but there was nothing we could do.
The station was gone, and the shuttle didn't have enough fuel
to stage a rescue and return home.
No... Please, Anton, don't leave me! Please!
Think of my family, Isabella and Mikhail.
-Please, I'm begging you! -I'm sorry.
Don't do this to me! Don't!
Two years? How... How did he survive?
The suit has life support mechanisms,
a slow drip chemical IV, the solar powered--
You left him out there? You just abandoned him?
It was him or us! What would you have done?
I would have found a way! He was your friend!
[alarm sounds]
Sounds like your company's here.
Harkov...
Harkov! Harkov! I'm here for you!
What do you do that you have this kind of firepower?
That's classified.
Well, you're gonna be a classified smear on the wall
if we don't figure out a way to stop your Crimson Dynamo.
Harkov!
[pounding]
You must stop him!
We're doing sensitive energy experiments here!
Who knows the damage he could cause if--
[computer] Access denied.
I need designs and schematics for the Dynamo armor.
I'm trying to access your computer system,
but I need your encryption keys.
That's proprietary information!
Our computers contain classified data, you can't--
Are you kidding me?!
OK, fine. You stop him. I'll watch.
[whimpers]
[panting]
OK! The passkey is Supreme-27696!
Rhodey, I'm on the secure channel.
Are you getting this? The Dynamo armor could survive...
It could survive anything.
You can't go toe to toe, Tony. You've got to have a plan!
You should let him have Harkov. That guy's a tool!
Hang on, I've got the Dynamo's frequency. I'm patching you in.
Harkov...
You took them from me. You left me out there!
TONY: Ivan... Dynamo...
My name is... er... Iron Man!
You've got to stop this! Can you hear me?
You took my family from me!
His family... Vanko's family! We have to find them.
I'll try to hold him off, but you have to find them!
Tony, wait! You can't fight him! Pepper, tell Tony he has--
RHODEY: Wow! Not bad. That was actual strategy.
Thanks. I'm doing all of this to impress you.
TONY: Any luck with the family? -Er... I think Pepper's on it.
Mommy, a giant alien robot landed in New York.
-Can we go see it? -What, honey?
[gasps]
Isabella Vanko?
I'm with the er... CIA. We need your help.
Iron Man, you are in my way.
[Delphi] Interior perimeter has been breached.
Get all the remaining databanks
and all the prototypes loaded up and out of here now!
Aaah! Urgh!
Harkov...
[whimpers] Ivan... I had no choice!
If we had gone back for you,
everyone on the station would have perished!
You have to believe me, Ivan...
Iron Man...
Harkov, watch out!
[groans]
Tony, don't! You can't go head to head with him!
You're running out of power! Tony, stop it!
Your heart's going to give out!
[snarls]
[computer] Reserve power failing.
[snarls]
ISABELLA: Ivan?
Is... Is that you?
Daddy?
RHODEY: Hopefully someone can help him.
I can't imagine, being alone in space like that.
At least he's got his family now.
TONY: Yeah, thanks to what Isabella Vanko described
as the youngest CIA agent ever.
They recruit them early, I hear.
Hey, you think Project Pegasus will get into trouble over this?
TONY: Doubtful, but it was nice to see Harkov sweating it.
[door opens]
I'm back. Did we win?
TONY: Yeah. Yeah, we did.
Now I can finally get back and help you. [yawns]
-Tony? -Autopilot took over the armor.
It's coming back here. He's... He's...
[Tony snores]
He fell asleep!
