-Report. -MAN: Sensors in the green.
- The building is secure. -I've heard that before.
Understood, sir. Oh, and your daughter is here.
STANE: Wonderful.
The old man wants us on full alert 24/7.
Report everything.
TONY: I'm in.
Still no alert showing up.
You invented invisible armor. Think about that!
Your dad would be so jealous.
He'd think up something better. This used to be my home.
Now we have to break into it.
As a kid, I wanted to come down to Dad's vault.
To see all of his inventions.
It was the stuff he couldn't get to work or never finished.
Now I'm scared to look inside.
RHODEY: You don't know Stane took it.
The equipment could have gotten out before.
No. Stane took it.
Oh, man... Stane's got everything!
We'll get it back. You've got something he doesn't.
-The Iron Man armor. Right? - Yeah.
You're right. I've got-- Huh?

Tony? Tony!
TONY: Yeah, I'm here.
RHODEY: Tony, what happened?
The armor. It went, you know, dead.
It went dead? What, did Stane do--
TONY: No, it wasn't Stane. The power cells are empty.
The stealth tech must have fried them. Oops.
What are we going to do?
You can't carry the armor, and when Stane finds it...
Relax, Mr. Panicky. This is no problem.
I'll sneak out of the building, grab some power cells,
sneak back in and get the armor.
Now that I said that out loud, I think maybe we are in trouble.
Without the armor to jam the cameras, I'll have to be fast.
I'll jump into the elevator.
RHODEY: You'll set off an alarm without the armor to jam it.
[sighs]
So, I'll head up the stairs.
RHODEY: What's happening?
Don't worry. I know the building like the back of my hand.
There's no way I'm going to get--
...caught.
Whitney, I do not have time for this!
You never have time!
I am dealing with a major security breach,
and now you want to see me?
You!
Tony?
-Tony, hi! -Whitney?
I haven't seen you in months! Where have you been?
I heard you're going to school. Why haven't you called?
Sorry, Whitney. It's been a little crazy.
Well, I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to me.
Maybe when you're done here, we can...
Whitney, get out! Right now!
No!
You're busy, Daddy? Fine, I'll wait.
Don't let me keep you two.
What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
I can have the police here in two minutes.
Well, I... It's...
It's just that...
[tearful] Look, I know it was wrong to sneak in,
but you wouldn't let me come any more.
I couldn't help it! This place... I grew up here!
It's all I have left of my dad, and... [sobs]
Am I supposed to believe you're crying?!
You monster! How can you be so cruel?
You kicked him out,
now you're going to arrest him for missing his father?!
This has nothing to do with you, Whitney!
Fine. I'm leaving, and Tony's coming with me.
Or are you going to arrest us both?
Mr O'Brien, get them both out of here!
I want every single floor of this building searched.
Stark was here for a reason, and I want to know what it is.
-Thank you, Whitney. -My pleasure.
Tell me why you were really there.
Wow, it's late! I really have to go.
Rhodey's mom is going to be so mad.
Seriously, Whitney, thanks.
You'd better call me!
PEPPER: Wow! When you screw up, you do it big.
You can quit cheering him up now, Pepper.
-Did you lock the vault? -Oh, no.
Sorry. Can't you hop in a suit and get the one you left behind?
Whiplash trashed the only other one that worked.
The rest aren't ready and we don't have time.
OK. What if we hope really hard that no-one goes down there?
The vault is the only thing on that level.
If it's empty, there's no reason to go down there.
Maybe Stane won't suspect anything.
RHODEY: No way, dude!
There's no way Stane bought that sob story you gave him.
He knows you were up to something.
He's probably searching the building,
and even if he's not,
he won't give us visitors' passes any time soon!
That's it. Iron Man is finished.
Wait! Rhodey's right!
Stane won't hand out visitors' passes to us,
but Stark International might give some
to the Tomorrow Academy!
Er... and that helps us how?
Two words: field trip.
PEPPER: Here's how it works.
The goal is to get the armor working
and leave Stark International without being seen.
Step one: get whatever tools, gizmos or batteries we need
to make the armor work again.
-What are you doing? -What?
It's the most important meal of the day!
PEPPER: Then, Tony calls whoever he knows at Stark International.
Someone who owes him a favor.
Trisha? It's me, Tony. Tony Stark.
Tony? I heard you came in here last night.
Are you OK?
PEPPER: Someone who can authorize
a tour of Stark International for the Tomorrow Academy.
Please? Dad used to do this thing all the time -
tours, charities, demonstrations.
Can you help? Dad always said I could count on you.
I... I'll see what I can do, Tony.
PEPPER: I'll get the trip authorized by the school.
Principal Nara is all about students showing initiative.
Pepper, I like your initiative.
PEPPER: But what he really loves is paperwork.
But I'm afraid you'd have to get permission slips
for each and every student, signed by their-- Oh!
As hall monitor, I've busted about every kid at the Academy.
I got their parents' signatures from the files.
A school tour?
-Is this a joke? -No, Mr, Stane.
We do it to keep up the company's image
and to maintain ties with the community.
The company's image is no concern of--
Oh, and your daughter's on Line Four.
PEPPER: Rhodey can handle Prof Klein.
He shouldn't take much convincing.
I'm just having such a hard time with the concept of fusion.
Really? You got an A on the test.
That was just luck. I totally guessed.
But, Stark International is having
a demonstration of their fusion reactors today,
so can we have class there?
I'd love to see their labs!
Can we do that?
There's a bus outside, sir.
-I can't believe that worked! -How couldn't it work?
Once inside, we cause a distraction, leave the tour,
then get to the armor.
Piece of cake.
Pepper, if you ever go evil, we're all in trouble.
[snorts] Tell me about it!
[all talk at once]
-Stark. -Hey, Gene. What's up?
Good question. What exactly are you up to?
Don't lie, because you're really bad at it.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. None.
See what I mean? You're a terrible liar.
You, Potts and Rhodes went to a lot of trouble
to make this excursion happen.
We love science, man. Nothing weird about that.
Now let's go in, please?
Come with me.
Gene, don't forget to give Rhodey his lunch.
He gets really hungry.
-That fell apart fast. What now? -I don't know.
Plan A was so awesome I didn't come up with a Plan B.
I'm guessing there's something more interesting
than Rhodey's lunch in here.
You should have asked me to help.
[both sigh]
OK, one of us will have to get to the armor,
replace the power cells and fly it out.
Ooh! I call it!
-And stay out! -Ha-ha! You got kicked out!
Thanks, Happy. Why aren't you inside?
Dude, I was kicked out before I even got off the bus!
STANE: Go to school, Whitney!
I value time with my father more than school.
Too bad you don't feel the same about your work.
[phone rings]
What is it, O'Brien?
Tony Stark tried to enter the building.
We ejected him. He's on a school bus outside.
He's up to something. Have you finished sweeping the building?
Sir, there are 110 floors, with thousands of rooms.
-We've completed 87%. -Enough!
Finish the sweep and put Stark under surveillance immediately!
And this is our fusion reactor lab,
where our scientists work on ways to create new, clean
and inexpensive power sources for the good of the world.
-Or weapons. -Psst! Will you focus?
I have to be the one to get the armor.
I know it inside and out,
and I how to change the power cells.
-You don't. -OK, fine!
Crybaby! I'll do the diversion.
[alarm sounds]
Er... fire?
That isn't a fire alarm.
It's a hazardous materials station.
Oh. Good to know.
I'm not trying to rob the place.
I forgot something, and want it back.
Just help me find a way to get in.
Um... is it worth you doing my science homework for a month?
Er... sure. What are y--
Urgh!
Oh, dude, sorry!
HAPPY: Loose ball. You OK?
And stay there!
-What happened to her? -Hazmat station.
Keep her here till O'Brien comes down.
Oh, come on! I thought I saw some toxic waste!
For real. You might want to go back and check.
Get me a visual on Tony Stark. He should be on the bus outside.
GUARD: Is... that him?
I want this building in lockdown right now!
-Boo! -Ooargh!
I'm going to beat you up when we get home!
Fair enough.
Opening the door now.
I seriously can't believe we did it.
[alarm sounds]
You did it all right!
[alarm sounds]
[confused muttering]
And that concludes today's tour.
-What did you do? -Nothing!
The door was unlocked. I was just opening it!
Oh-oh!
Gah! What's going on? Is it a meltdown?
Is the building going nuclear? Tell me! It's a meltdown!
What? No! It's not a meltdown!
[shrieks] Get... me... out of here!
Take that!
How are we going to get out, genius?
[crackling]
No problem. See? They're cutting a way out.
There's no way we won't be seen,
and the stealth tech will fry the armor.
Stane will know about Iron Man.
I'll probably get arrested
if these security drones don't fry me first!
[simpers]
Status?
Security drones have activated, per lockdown protocol.
If Tony Stark's in the building, they'll find him.
That's weird. See, on sub-level Z?
The drones are trying to get into a room
that was cleared out weeks ago.
Stark's vault!
Get me a visual on the vault! Now!
O'Brien!
Someone cut power to the building!
But you can only do that from right--
I am through being ignored!
Great!
I surrender!
What did I miss?
We have to get out before the power comes on.
Wait! What are you--
I can walk! Let me down!
We're taking a shortcut.
Well?
It er... It takes a minute for the grid to reboot, sir.
-Let me down! -Trust me, you don't want that.
Stop! Let me off here! I'll rejoin the group.
It'll be less suspicious.
But it'll be dark in there.
Don't you want me to hold your hand?
Just go!
We're back on,
but the security camera hard drives--
Oh-oh...
Find Stark. Find him now!
-Piece of cake. -I don't want to hear about it!
What is your problem?
Ah-ha-ha! I got foam in my nose! In my nose!
Did you get to wear the armor? Ha-ha! No! Don't tell me!
One side! Move!
Yo! Cue ball, can't you see we're busy?
Stark's been helping me with my homework all morning.
You were inside the building.
There are hundreds of security cameras.
-I'll find out-- -Er... sir...
The hard drives crashed.
All of today's surveillance video, it's gone.
I'm thinking two months' homework.
Yeah. Sounds fair.
Well, that went perfectly - except for every single detail.
It was a good plan though.
Yeah, I'm sure you meant
for Gene, Happy and Stane's daughter to help us.
Man, it's just luck that Stane doesn't have the armor right--
Tony, where is the armor?
Oh, that? Yeah, er...
I may need some help getting it back.
