Why? Because they paid me a lot of money to, that's why.
I don't know why 2 rich kids would
want me to fly them to the glacier.
Maybe they wanted to go skiing.

It's identical to the Temple of Wisdom.
This must be the Temple of Cutting and Stabbing!
You're funny.
This character translates as 'courage.'
[vibration]
[rumbling and clinking]
[eerie voices]
[mechanism activated]
Well, that's not so scary.
If that's the test of courage, I think we're good.
It happened just like last time.
The door opened when we came in.
I wish I knew how this worked.
The statue is different than the ones
from the Temple of Wisdom.
How do we trigger it to begin the test?
Or, we could try to not trigger it.
Maybe we should go a different route this time.
But the test must be passed to activate the ring.
We don't know what that means.
We do know that we can take the ring out
without passing the test.
After all, my dad did it.
So I'll have a ring I can study
and we won't have to worry about creepy statues.
Everything I read in the Temple
says the rings are worthless without passing the test.
And this ring is here .
Don't you want to see what happens when it's activated?
Perhaps if we use one of these weapons...
No.
"Weapons never solve a problem, they only create more."
What?
My dad said this to me once.
The last time, we barely made it out alive.
So this time, we look before we leap.
Are you coming?
[mysterious music]
[vibration]
JAMES: I can't believe it!
We were supposed to go after it together!
We found the map together,
we figured out the location together...
And we beat those Dreadknights together!
Well, actually, Rhodey was unconscious.
JAMES: Not funny!
Rhodey, come on...
What do we have to do for you let us in?
We put ourselves out there,
we try so hard to be there for you,
but you shut us out every time!
Look, I get that you're mad,
but you guys almost died last time.
I can't risk that again.
You took Gene with you.
Well... Gene can read Chinese.
I said this isn't funny, Tony!
Did you even get the ring?
Oh! Pretty. Can I...?
Tony, you shouldn't have!
[frustrated grunt]
Am I the only sane person here?
This is dangerous!
The Mandarin almost took Tony out with one of these!
Okay, you've got the ring. Good for you.
But this isn't over, Tony.
I'm sorry, I know.
But I can analyze the ring now
and figure out what makes them tick.
And then we can find out what the Mandarin wants.
GENE: I do not need Tony Stark!
Courage? I fear nothing!
I can pass the test of virtue
and when the ring is activated,
I'll take it back as the Mandarin.
If you were worthy of the name Mandarin,
you would have the ring already
and the child Stark would lie shattered at your feet.
Wouldn't you agree, stepson?
I wouldn't expect you to understand, Zhang.
You are a blunt instrument,
and know nothing of subtlety or strategy.
That's why you're in a cell, and I'm the Mandarin.
And yet here you are,
a pathetic child looking for a father's approval.
[ominous music]
[♪♪♪]
[vibrations]
[deep voice] Courage...
[rage grunt]
[rumbling]
I do not fear you, machine. Come!
Test my courage!
What are you doing? Face me!
[rage grunt]
[metallic vibrations]
Stop! I am the Mandarin, and master of the Makluan Rings!
You serve me !
And I will not be ignored!
[pain grunt]
I don't understand, why wouldn't it...
The ring. It must want it back.
That means it's going to...
PEPPER: Tony! Wait up!
Hey, Pepper.
Sorry I rushed out, I'm heading back to the Armory.
Rhodey's already there, he had a free period.
He was so mad at you. But he's right.
You do keep your distance from us.
And you're not exactly the best... hem... communicator.
You guys don't understand. It's not that I...
[sigh]
Look, it's just...
Can we talk about something else?
Okay.
Is some horrible thing going to come after that ring
like the Dreadknights did?
What? No!
I didn't activate the test. That's why I'm a genius.
[violent shocks in a distance]
[shocks approaching]
[terrified screaming]
You were saying, genius?
That thing... wasn't quite so big in the Temple.
[menacing music]
[screaming]
[tires screeching]
[menacing music]
[screaming]
The ring. It's got to be here for the ring.
That thing walked all the way from Greenland
to get the ring back?
The ring that Rhodey has right now,
back at the Armory.
Yikes!
I didn't take you guys to Greenland
to keep you out of danger.
And now I've put the whole city in danger, especially Rhodey!
We should call him, just to give him a heads up.
You know, the giant robot coming to stomp him!
Hey, guys. The subway's nuts.
I think there's some construction project going on,
there was this loud booming--
What?
Oh.
It's after the ring,
we have to go back to the Armory get--
I didn't want to leave it there, just in case
someone came after it.
Good thinking.
[aircraft flying]
[suspenseful music]
♪♪♪
[machinery failing]
[metallic vibrations]
Is... is it looking at me?
Give me the ring!
Both of you, get out! Find a place to hide!
No. No way. We're not hiding.
Can I hide?
We're in this together, man.
If it's after the ring, we will distract it.
We'll lead it away and you will armor up.
Rhodey, I don't have time to argue.
Then don't! Just go!
[♪♪♪]
[screaming]
This may not be the best time to show how dedicated we are.
Ha! Yeah, I got caught up in the moment.
Those jets were Navy. They must have run out of missiles,
They'll be sending more. We can lead it to Central Park.
Oh boy.
[wailing]
Look at it, Pepper.
It's not wrecking anything, or hurting anyone.
It just wants the ring.
Good for the city. Bad for us. Come on, Rhodey, we have to...
...move!
[suspenseful music]
[♪♪♪]
Wait, where did it go?
It can fly. Great.
Just run!
[screams]
Rhodey...
Iron...
Mandarin!
Give me the ring.
Not a chance.
Give me the ring or I'll let him take it from you.
Uh!
You're not getting this ring!
These rings are mine by right, and I will have them.
Who are you?!
[pain grunt]
Rhodey... Pepper...
Back off, big guy!
Big, big guy.
The test!
Hang on!
Aaahhh!
[epic music]
[♪♪♪]
Thanks for saving us.
But, ow! I can't feel my arm!
This is part of the test, from the Temple!
It grew when I blasted it.
I think that force isn't the answer, somehow courage is.
Slow down, we weren't there, remember?
I get it, Rhodey, you're mad. Point taken!
No, I mean I don't know what the test was!
I don't know, either!
There was the robot, surrounded by weapons, hundreds of weapons.
Gene said it was the Temple of Courage.
I don't know what it means!
Look, this thing is after the ring.
Give it to me!
I'll lead the thing away,
and we'll figure out a way to beat it.
Seriously, there are thousands of lives at risk.
If this thing wants the ring, give it to him!
I can't! I must know what these are,
and what my father was on to!
This is all I have left of him!
This is part of the test, the test of courage.
I have to fight.
Tony, there's more than one kind of courage.
What if giving it back is the courageous thing to do here?
Right.
You want the ring?
Take it!
[vibrations]
[suspenseful music]
[pain grunt]
[metal screeching]
Great...
It shoots lasers from its eyes.
Uh... I may have been wrong
about the whole 'give it the ring' thing.
Maybe now it's your turn
to try and get the ring, like hide and seek.
We have to figure out the test, like now.
It's absorbing the energy, just like it did with my repulsors.
This isn't even possible.
How can it be growing?
Where's the mass coming from?
Shoot it in the eyes, or the mouth!
No! Just stop! Everything you're doing is making it stronger!
You may not be able to beat that.
There has to be some way to stop it,
some weapon that will hurt it.
PEPPER: What about the weapons
in the temple?
Maybe you have to find one in there, like a nuclear bomb.
You remember what your dad used to say about weapons?
"Weapons never solve a problem, they only create more."
Every time somebody hits this thing,
it gets more powerful.
It never attacked me when I had the ring. It reached for me.
PEPPER: What if it only attacks you
if you carry a weapon?
If you go in the temple and use one,
you've already lost.
Uh! But I don't have a weapon!
Those swords and axes are in the temple!
JAMES: Your whole suit is a weapon.
What if true courage...
...is to put down your weapon.
Wait, you know, that's dumb.
I was wrong about giving back the ring, remember? Tony?
Don't do anything stupid!
TONY: I'm out of ideas. I must try.
Oh... boy. Okay...
Shutting down all systems... now.
[machinery stopping]
[metallic vibrations]
[vibrations]
Thank you, dad.
[electricity blasting]
[pain grunt]
[eerie music]
JAMES: Tony? Tony, what's happening?
Ah!
What...
MANDARIN: When first we met, Iron Man,
I wielded the power of one ring,
and even then you were less than nothing to me.
Now I have three, and soon all five.
Do you know what I will be able to do with all five rings?
Hem... Set off metal detectors?
Anything I can imagine.
[pain grunts]
[effort grunts]
I could peel that armor off you, and find out who you are,
but it doesn't matter now.
You are but an annoyance to be crushed.
[vibrations]
Divert all power to motors...
[computer] Diverting power.
Sorry, Mandarin. I saw the ring first!
[struggling grunts]
[scream]
The Mandarin is winning.
He has three rings now.
Everything my father worked to find,
it's being taken from me.
I've failed.
That's a pretty glass half-empty attitude.
You saved all of New York!
After putting it at risk!
That's why I didn't want you guys to go to the temple.
And we don't feel the same way?
Every single time you put on that armor,
every time you're doing this stuff,
you may not come back.
Every single time I see Iron Man take off,
I could lose my best friend.
If we're going to survive this, we have a better shot together.
We'll find the Mandarin,
and then Iron Man'll take the rings back.
All it takes is courage.
[laughs]
Thanks for ruining the moment, Pepper.
Ha ha! Sorry!
When you said courage, I just realized,
you'll have to tell Gene that you lost the ring.
Oh, man, I totally forgot about Gene!
