Crimson Dynamo 3.0 is online.
Fully automated without a pilot.
Dr. Neri, you're clear. Activate the mecha!
[rumbling]
[fizzing, zapping]
Congratulations, gentlemen. Project Monger is a go.
OK, if y=mx + b...
Mr. Hogan, can you solve for x?
Uhh... X? Math has letters now?
It was hard enough with numbers!
Making Happy think. That's cruelty to animals!
Speaking of animals, you look in the mirror lately, Rhona?
Aw, don't be mad. Happy doesn't know he's being made fun of.
Wait. Who's making fun of me?
Know what I think, Tony?
I think you like Happy because he makes you feel smarter.
You get threatened by people who are as smart as you.
Show me someone to get threatened by.
Oh, you mean you? Right.
Were you threatened by your father's intellect, Tony?
Is that why he was in an "accident"?
[roars]
You don't ever bring up my dad again, you hear me?
Mr. Stark! What is the meaning of...?
Tony, don't!
They're trying to get a rise out of you. It's not worth it, man!
Tony, to the principal, now!
What do you mean, you're not convinced?
You've seen the Iron Monger.
Its potential. Its power!
It's a 30-foot tall tank with legs, Stane!
We're not concerned about its power, but about its cost.
You're saying 80 million a unit is expensive? Come on!
Make it cost efficient. Give us something more...
Stark tech.
After I finally perfected the Monger Core?
I've spent too much
on Project Monger to see it fail because it's not "Stark tech"!
Hmm. Well if they want Stark... that's who I'll give them.
I'm gonna say it one last time!
Andy Erwin started it.
I don't like your tone, young man.
Well, I don't like your tie.
And I was defending my friend from that creepy little jerk.
Mr. Stark, if you don't adjust that attitude, so help me...
Now, now, gentlemen! We're all level-headed adults here.
Principal, mind if I borrow young Anthony for a few minutes?
Borrow me?
Double oxygenated water from the Savage Land?
Very expensive.
I know we've had our past differences,
but I want you back in the family, Tony.
Are you serious?
I need your inventive mind.
You helped your dad design some amazing machines.
I have a project that needs your unique skills.
Your personal touch.
Save your breath, Stane.
-Thanks, but I'm not interested. -What?
Don't you walk away from me, Stark! You hear?
Stark!
PEPPER: You just took off, in the middle of the street?
That's right. I'm not working for that old buzzard!
But wait! What if he wanted your help on Project Mongrel?
TONY: Project Monger.
I've had my B.U.G.S. watching inside Stark International,
but they haven't found out exactly what the Monger is.
So I'm gonna sneak in and find out.
Should be a snap!
[thud]
[buzzing]
Uh-oh. They've upgraded security.
[rapid laser fire]
[whoosh]
Maybe you're right, Pepper.
If I wanna get some answers,
I'm gonna have to start doing it... from the inside.
Tony! I'm glad you changed your mind.
Felt like time to come back to the company my dad built.
Especially if I'm gonna take over in eight months.
I'm going to warn you.
A lot of things have changed since you...
last worked here.
How did you do that?
That system is brand-new.
No one is supposed to know the override codes!
Oh, that? That was... um... lucky guess?
[cellphone rings]
What?
Yes, I'll be right in. And I'm bringing a surprise.
Ladies and gentlemen of the board!
The prodigal son has returned.
[applause]
Tony! Good to see you!
I have to hand it to you, Obadiah.
The board's pleased to see
you're a team player! -[chuckles wryly]
First order of business.
Stark International owns this property.
That's in New Jersey. My dad built his first lab there.
We need to build a new manufacturing plant,
but demolishing the entire block will take weeks.
So to save time and money,
the board has decided to approve Obadiah's Project Monger!
Project Monger?
Excellent decision! You'll see,
the Iron Monger will be the greatest invention in history...
since the atomic bomb.
[rotor blades whir]
[blades whir faster]
Brought me up here to throw me off the roof?
Why would I want to drop the goose with the golden eggs?
So Obadiah, when do I get to see your super-secret project?
[stomping]
[crashing]
Meet Iron Monger!
[crashing]
[bang]
[rotor blades whir]
[whoosh]
[rotor blades whir]
I wanna see this first hand!
Nothing good ever comes from 40-foot-tall armored robots!
[wind howls]
[explosion]
O'BRIEN: One down, a dozen more to go.
That's uh...
kinda overkill for construction equipment, isn't it?
It's a big, heavy robot. It needs big heavy tools.
Drop the act, Stane.
Iron Monger is exactly like all your other weapons-in-disguise.
No. This one is special.
[panting]
There's someone down there! Stop your mech!
Right now!
O'Brien, hold your fire.
We have unauthorized persons in the demolition zone.
STANE: O'Brien?
Some sort of energy fluctuation is jamming the signal!
What do you think you're doing?
[grunts]
Didn't have time to field test the Mark 2 backpack.
No time like the present! [grunts]
[suit clanking]
[straining]
Hey! Stop! This whole block is about to go up!
[whoosh]
Stop!
[stomping]
[creaking, blast]
[whooshing]
[explosion]
Gotcha!
Rhodey? Can you hear me?
Anything else I can get you while I'm up?
Food, drink, maybe a smack upside the head?
There's a guy in here!
Don't let Iron Monger blow up the building!
O'Brien! Come in! Answer me!
Mr. Stane? I didn't see what happened to the rocket.
Did it hit something?
STANE: Forget the rocket! It's Tony Stark!
He's... [static]
O'Brien? Come in!
Well, it looks like demolitions are going to continue.
Such a tragic "accident".
[whoosh]
Come on, come on!
Where are you?
O'BRIEN: Activating repulsor vibration wave.
Standby, in three,
two,
one...
[crashing]
[thrumming]
[thudding]
[groaning]
Hey, we gotta get you outta here!
I don't care what Stane says! I'm not leaving!
You're in danger! The building is coming down...
[rumbling]
Hold on!
[groans]
[stomping]
WAR MACHINE: Stop!
There are people inside the building!
O'BRIEN: What? I can't hear what you're saying.
Mr. Stane? What do I do?
Mr. Stane? Signal keeps dropping.
No response. Can't risk it.
WAR MACHINE: Gonna have to stop him cold!
[rapid laser fire]
Taking evasive action!
[rapid laser fire]
[crash]
O'BRIEN: Mr. Stane, why am I under attack?
Anyone gets in your way, decimate them!
They're trespassing, after all.
O'BRIEN: If you say so, Mr. Stane!
OLD MAN: [groaning]
The old man's hurt! Pepper,
call ahead to the hospital. Tell them I've got incoming!
O'BRIEN: Holding fire! Iron Monger standing down.
STANE: O'Brien, why have you stopped?
You have your orders! Continue with...
There are bystanders in the demolition zone!
I can't proceed until the buildings are empty.
I'm bringing the Iron Monger back to base!
That's... You idiot, are you listening to me?
[crash]
[stomping]
[rotor blades whir]
STANE: When you get back to base,
pack up your things! You're fired.
[groans]
Oh, dear... my head...
Hello, Professor Zimmer. My name is Tony...
Stark. Of course you're a Stark. You look just like your father.
-You knew my father? -[coughs] I...
I used to work for him.
Back in the day, I was in charge of radio
and microwave transmission technology.
Back when his lab was in New Jersey?
Is that why were you running into a condemned building?
That building is all I have left.
[groans] When I retired, Howard gave me that old lab.
But Obadiah Stane wanted it back.
So he and his fancy lawyers declared me incompetent!
Stane... took my home.
-That evil, rotten, bald... -Easy , Pepper.
Let me help you. If we work together,
we can get your home back.
It's already been half-knocked down!
It's over!
A single old man like me doesn't stand a chance!
They should've left me in the building
and buried me there.
They're keeping Zimmer in for a few days.
Then what? He's got nowhere to go.
It burns me up.
Look what Stane's doing with my dad's company.
At this rate, he'll ruin it by the time I turn 18!
What about Iron Monger? That thing is massive.
And Stane's not gonna stop with just a few buildings.
He could level whole cities with that thing!
Iron Man and War Machine couldn't stop it.
But maybe Tony Stark can.
STANE: There's nothing wrong with Iron Monger!
As soon as I prep a new pilot,
the New Jersey development will be back on schedule.
Tony!
Where have you been?
I've been worried sick!
-Funny, you make me sick. -What?
You stole the New Jersey development from an old man!
That is a gross distortion of the truth!
You want the Iron Monger to succeed so bad,
you're willing to risk lives
for a quick buck.
I'm tired of having to explain myself to you peons!
You'll see. You'll all see.
Iron Monger is the future of this company!
No. I'm the future of this company.
So... do we have a motion to end this meeting?
[ticking]
Tony, did you send me plans to the SHIELD Hellicarrier?
This thing is taking forever to download!
It's an encrypted data file with Stane's Iron Monger blueprints.
I need you to use that program I showed you to crack it!
Tony? Pepper? Bad news.
Professor Zimmer is gone.
No one knows where he went.
Oh, no. I know where he went. His home.
[stomping]
Obadiah, what have you done?
RHODEY: What's wrong, Tony?
We've got problems. Big problems.
[whooshing]
Iron Monger's back! Pepper,
I need you to find a weakness in the Iron Monger design!
It's our only chance.
So I have to decrypt a six-gigabyte encryption key
and decipher the technical blueprints,
and my friends are all counting on me
and I'm your only chance.
Gee, thanks, Tony. No pressure!
I knew I could count on you, Pep!
I'm being sarcastic! This is too much pressure!
[thud]
WAR MACHINE: That's not pressure!
Fighting a giant robo-mech on the other hand...
[stomping]
[clanking]
Iron Man. How I was hoping you'd try and stop me!
Stane, Stop! There's a person living there!
He's a crazy old man. Collateral damage, Iron Man.
Happens all the time in business!
[clanking]
[whirring]
STANE: I'm gonna crush that development property.
Just like I'm going to crush you!
[rapid laser fire]
[whoosh]
[rapid fire]
Let him have it!
[blast]
[explosion]
[thud]
I've been waiting a long time to take you out, Iron Man.
I wanted to pilot Monger so I could
do this!
[zap]
[metallic scraping]
[explosion]
-Energy levels are dropping! -Pull back!
[blast]
Just wait. After I crush those tin cans,
every government in the world will be lining up
to buy one of these bad boys!
WAR MACHINE: That didn't go so well.
Pepper? Please say you have something for us!
In a word? Not really.
I cracked the data you uploaded,
then fed it into that program thingy.
It's no use. Stane copied the entire idea from your designs.
There's no weak spot. No chink in the armor. No Achilles' Heel!
Stane copied the designs. If anyone can find a weakness,
it's the guy who drew up the plans!
Me.
OK. First things first, we need to rescue Zimmer!
WAR MACHINE: Go get him. I'll buy you some time.
[whoosh]
[stomping, blast]
Let's see what kind of Iron this Monger's made of.
[rapid fire, explosion]
WAR MACHINE: Not a scratch!
At least Doctor Doom flinched when I did that!
I would prefer to be doing this to Iron Man,
but he'll get his turn!
I'm not going. I can't find my photos.
There's a picture of my daughter.
So that's it? You're giving up?
What's the point? Stane is bigger
and more powerful and more ruthless than I could ever be.
-I can't beat him. -Look at all the stuff you keep.
You save this stuff because it has value.
Well, your home, your life, they have value!
They're worth fighting for!
[crash]
I'll lose.
You will if you don't stand up to him.
PEPPER: Tony! I have something!
I had the computer do a side-by-side analysis
of the Iron Monger with your armor.
The systems are the same, except for one!
Iron Monger has an antenna that connects to an external
computer system! Of course!
Stane can't control all the Monger systems by himself!
He needs outside assistance to operate Iron Monger!
If you take out that antenna,
you'll break the uplink and level the playing fi...
[static]
That buzzing again!
The same interference happens every time I'm here.
You used to work in radio and microwave trasmissions, right?
I still tinker with various radiowave experiments.
Are any of them still plugged in?
[crash]
You want me, Stane? Come get me!
With pleasure!
[crash]
[gasps]
[explosion]
[blast]
[screams]
[whoosh]
IRON MAN: [groans]
I'm in the mood for a can of Iron-Man juice.
Freshly-squeezed.
[shots ricochet]
Let him go, Stane. Or say goodbye to your fingers.
WAR MACHINE: [strains]
IRON MAN: Get back! It's gonna...
[thrumming]
[gasps]
STANE: No! What have you done?
We've broken his computer uplink!
Aim for the ground under its right leg!
His right or our right?
Umm, our right!
[explosion]
[clang]
No! This is impossible!
I can't lose!
[coughing]
Get me out of here!
[fizzing]
Mr. Zimmer has agreed not to sue you
and Stark International
in exchange for ownership of a small property in New Jersey.
I... I can't believe it. I won!
Yeah. And somebody lost.
I do not believe this.
Howard Stark.
Alive.
Held captive by... Gene Khan.
[whoosh]
[heavy footsteps]
Carving messages in walls? [laughs]
You're pathetic, Stark!
You can't hold me captive forever, Gene.
[whoosh]
But I can. The Sunturion has been defeated.
The seventh Makluan ring belongs to its rightful owner,
the Mandarin!
Soon, I will be able to do
anything!
