We have a possible point of origin in Pakistan

and the Patriot is ready to strike.

Right now. Yes, г-не.

Man. Хепи, Хепи, Хепи.

Don't move!

Hang on a second.

Hello?

You ever have a chick straddling you, and you look up

and suddenly she's glowing from the inside out, kind of a bright orange?

Да, I've had that. Who is this?

It's me, pal.

Now, last time I went missing, if I remember correctly,

you came looking for me. What are you doing?

A little knock-and-talk, making friends in Pakistan.

What are you doing?

Your redesign, your big rebrand, that was AIM, right?

Да.

I'm gonna find a heavy-duty comm sat now, I need your login.

It's the same as it's always been, "WarMachine68."

And password, please.

Look, I gotta change it every time you hack in, Тони.

It's not the 80s, nobody says "hack" any more.

Give me your login.

"WAR MACHINE ROX" with an "X," all caps.

Да, okay.

That is so much better than "Iron Patriot."

Very nice. Very nice.

I have one question for you.

What would you like for Christmas this year?

Well, David...

Do not erase a program from my DVR unless you are 100% sure...

One more time! Ms Elk Ridge, everybody! Во ред.

Because you erase my shows!

That ain't gonna cut it.

We talked about this.

Excuse me, г-не. I don't know who...

Mom, I need to call you back. Something magical is happening.

Тони Старк is in my van. Keep it down.

Тони Старк is in my van! Не, he's not.

I knew you were still alive!

Ајде in. Close the door.

Can I just say, г-не...

Yep.

I am your biggest fan.

First, is this your van? Is anyone else gonna come in?

Не, no, no. Just us.

Great. What's your name?

Gary. Gary.

Right there is fine.

Добро. Добро?

I get a lot of this, it's okay.

Good. Can I just say? What do you want? Да.

I don't know if you can tell,

but I have patterned my whole look after you.

My hair's a little... It's fine.

It's not right, 'cause there's no product in it.

Right.

I don't want to make things awkward for you, but I do have to show you...

Boom!

A Hispanic Scott Baio.

I'm sorry. Is that me? Да. It's... I mean...

I had them do it off a doll that I made, so it's not like it's off a picture.

So it's a little bit... Gary. Listen to me, okay?

I don't want to clip your wings, here. We're both a little over-excited.

I got an issue. I'm chasing bad guys.

I'm trying to grab a little something from some hard-crypt data files.

I don't have enough juice.

I need you to jump on the roof... Right?

Recalibrate the ISDNs.

Pump it up by about 40%.

Got it. Во ред? It's a mission.

Да.

Тони needs Gary.

And Gary needs Тони.

Be quiet about it. Go. Да.

What would you regard as the defining moment of your life?

I think that would be the day I decided not to let my injury beat me.

Will you please state your name for the camera?

Ellen Brandt.

Добро. So, the injections are administered periodically.

Addiction will not be tolerated.

Those who cannot regulate will be out from the program.

Once misfits, cripples...

You are the next iteration of human evolution.

Everybody, before we start...

I promise you, looking back at your life, there will be nothing as bitter

as the memory of that glorious risk you prudently elected to forego.

Today is your glory-

Let's begin.

We gotta get out of here! We gotta get out of here!

Get her out! Get them out of here!

A bomb is not a bomb when it's a misfire.

The stuff doesn't always work. Right, pal?

It's faulty, but you found a buyer, didn't you?

Sold it to the Мандарин.

Got you, pal.

What happened?

Fun fact.

Before he built rockets for the Nazis,

the idealistic Wernher von Braun

dreamed of space travel.

He stargazed.

Do you know what he said when the first V-2 hit London?

"The rocket performed perfectly."

"It just landed on the wrong planet."

See, we all begin wide-eyed. Pure science.

And then the ego steps in, the obsession.

And you look up,

you're a long way from shore.

You can't be too hard on yourself, Maya.

I mean, you gave your research to a think tank.

Да, but Killian built that think tank on military contracts.

That's exactly what we used to do.

So, don't judge yourself.

Фала, Pepper.

I really appreciate that.

Hi, good evening. Ајде in. Good evening.

Maya, run!

Hi, Pepper.

So, you want to tell me why you were at Stark's mansion last night?

I'm trying to fix this thing.

I didn't know you and the master were gonna blow the place up.

I see. So, you were trying to save Stark, when he threatened us?

I've told you, Killian, we can use him.

Pepper. Pepper. Pepper.

Look, if we want to launch product next year, I need Stark.

He just lacked a decent incentive. Now, he has one.

This is support team Blue-Zero.

Sending coordinates for a suspected Мандарин broadcast point of origin.

Copy.

Nobody move.

Support Blue-Zero,

unless the Мандарин's next attack on the U.S.

involves cheaply-made sportswear,

I think you messed up again.

Yes, you're free, if you weren't before.

It's... Of course.

Yes, ma'am.

Iron Patriot on the job.

Хепи to help.

Не need to thank me, ma'am.

It's my pleasure.

Savin? I've acquired the Patriot armour.

If you want this suit,

you're going to have to pry my cold dead body out of it.

That's the plan, Colonel.

Harley, tell me what's happening. Give me a full report.

Да, I'm still eating that candy. Do you want me to keep eating it?

How much have you had? Two or three bowls.

Can you still see straight? Sort of.

That means you're fine. Give me Џарвис.

Џарвис, how are we?

It's totally fine, г-не. I seem to do quite well for a stretch,

and then at the end of the sentence, I say the wrong cranberry.

And, г-не, you were right.

Once I factored in available AIM downlink facilities

I was able to pinpoint the Мандарин's broadcast signal.

What are we talking? Far East, Europe, North Africa...

Iran, Pakistan, Syria? Where is it?

Actually, г-не, it's in Miami.

Добро, kid, I'm gonna have to walk you through

rebooting Џарвис's speech drive,

but not right now.

Harley, where is he really?

Just look on the screen and tell me where it is.

It does say Miami, Florida.

Добро, first things first, I need the armour. Where are we at with it?

It's not charging.

Actually, г-не, it is charging, but the power source is questionable.

It may not succeed in revitalizing the Mark 42.

What's questionable about electricity? Во ред?

It's my suit, and I can't... I'm not gonna... I don't wanna...

Oh, God, not again.

Тони?

Are you having another attack?

I didn't even mention New York.

Right, and then you just said it by name while denying having said it.

Добро...

God, what am I gonna do?

Just breathe. Really, just breathe.

You're a mechanic, right?

Right.

You said so.

Yes, I did.

Why don't you just build something?

Добро.

Thanks, kid.

Why is it so hot in here? I told you to put it at 68.

My fault again.

Let me tell you something, sweetheart. I am not your personal air con...

Well.

I wouldn't go in there for 20 minutes.

Now, which one of you is Vanessa?

That's me.

Nessie.

Did you know that fortune cookies aren't even Chinese?

There's some guy over here.

They're made by Americans, based on a Japanese recipe.

Hey!

Bloody hell. Bloody hell.

Don't move.

I'm not moving. You want something? Take it.

Although the guns are all fake

because those wankers wouldn't trust me with the real ones.

What? Hey, do you fancy either of the birds?

Heard enough.

You're not him. The Мандарин, the real guy.

Where?

Where's the Мандарин? Where is he?

He's here. He's here, but he's not here.

He's here, but he's not here. What do you mean?

It's complicated. Hey, it's complicated.

It is. It's complicated.

Uncomplicate it. Ladies, out.

Get out of the bed. Get into the bathroom.

Sit.

Oh, Jesus.

My name is Trevor. Trevor Slattery.

What are you?

A decoy? You're a double, right?

You mean like an understudy? Не, absolutely not.

Don't hurt the face! I'm an actor.

You got a minute to live. Fill it with words.

It's just a role. "The Мандарин," it's not real.

Then how did you get here, Trevor?

Well, I had a little problem with substances.

And I ended up doing things, no two ways about it,

in the street, that a man shouldn't do.

Next? Then,

they approached me about the role,

and they knew about the drugs.

What did they say? They'd get you off them?

They said they'd give me more.

They gave me things.

They gave me this palace. They gave me plastic surgery.

They gave me things.

Did you just nod off?

Hey.

Не, and a lovely speedboat.

And the thing was, he needed someone

to take credit for some accidental explosions.

"He"?

Killian? Killian.

He created you? He created me.

Custom-made terror threat.

Да. Да.

His think tank thinked it up.

The pathology of a serial killer.

The manipulation of Western iconography.

Ready for another lesson?

Не.

Of course, it was my performance that brought the Мандарин to life.

Your performance?

Where people died?

Не, they didn't.

Look around you. The costumes, green screen.

Honestly, I wasn't on location for half this stuff.

And when I was, it was movie magic, love.

I'm sorry, but I got a best friend who's in a coma

and he might not wake up.

So you're gonna have to answer for that.

You're still going down, pal.

You under...

Добро, Trevor, what did you tell him?

I didn't tell him anything. Nothing?

Не.

You should have pressed the panic button.

Well, I panicked, but then I handled it.

Добро.

It's just like old times?

Да. With zip ties. It's a ball.

It wasn't my idea.

Добро. So you took Killian's card.

I took his money.

And here you are 13 years later, in a dungeon.

Не. Да.

Не, you're in a dungeon. I'm free to go.

Да?

A lot has happened, Тони.

But I'm close.

EXTREMIS is practically stabilized.

I'm telling you it isn't. I'm on the street.

People are going bang. They're painting the walls.

Maya, you're kidding yourself.

Then help me fix it.

Did I do that?

Да.

I remember the night, not the morning.

Is this what you've been chasing around?

You don't remember? I can't help you.

You used to have a moral psychology.

You used to have ideals.

You wanted to help people.

Now look at you.

I get to wake up every morning with someone who

still has their soul.

Get me out of here.

Ајде.

You know what my old man used to say to me?

One of his favorite of many sayings...

"The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."

You're not still pissed off about the Switzerland thing, are you?

How can I be pissed at you, Тони?

I'm here to thank you.

You gave me the greatest gift that anybody's ever given me.

Desperation.

If you think back to Switzerland,

you said you'd meet me on the rooftop, right?

For the first 20 minutes,

I actually thought you'd show up.

And the next hour...

I considered taking that one-step shortcut to the lobby.

If you know what I mean.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the first mouse.

But as I looked out over that city,

nobody knew I was there, nobody could see me,

no one was even looking.

I had a thought that would guide me for years to come.

Anonymity, Тони.

Thanks to you, it's been my mantra ever since.

Right?

You simply rule from behind the scenes.

Because the second you give evil a face,

a bin Laden, a Gaddafi, a Мандарин,

you hand the people a target.

You're something else.

You have met him, I assume?

Да. Г-не Laurence Oblivier.

I know he's a little over the top sometimes.

It's not entirely my fault. He has a tenden...

He's a stage actor.

They say his Lear was the toast of Croydon, wherever that is.

Anyway, the point is,

ever since that big dude with the hammer fell out of the sky,

subtlety has kind of had its day.

What's next for you in your world?

I wanted to repay you the selfsame gift

that you so graciously imparted to me.

Desperation.

Now, this is live.

I'm not sure if you can tell, but at this moment

the body is trying to decide whether to accept EXTREMIS, or just give up.

And if it gives up,

I have to say, the detonation is quite spectacular.

But until that point, it's really just a lot of pain.

We haven't even talked salary yet.

What kind of perk package are you thinking of?

Let him go.

Hold on, hold on.

Maya...

I said, let him go.

What are you doing?

1200 CCs. A dose half of this size, I'm dead.

It's times like this my temper is tested somewhat.

Maya, give me the injector.

If I die, Killian,

what happens to your soldiers? What happens to your product?

We're not doing this, okay?

What happens to you? What happens if you go too hot?

The good news is,

a high-level position has just been vacated.

You are a maniac.

Не, I'm a visionary.

But I do own a maniac.

And he takes the stage tonight.

Once we get the Patriot installed,

it will take me nine or 10 minutes for the takedown.

That's great, but the last time I looked, there was somebody inside of it.

Afternoon, gentlemen.

Hello, Colonel.

Step aside.

We'll get you out of there.

Don't worry.

You'll damage the armour.

Yes, I will.

But you can fix it, right?

I'm gonna take the Chinook to base camp.

And I want Potts with me.

She's still in Phase Two.

You're not going deaf, are you?

Careful, there. It's a limited edition.

Hey, Ponytail Express.

What's the mileage count between Tennessee and Miami?

832 miles.

Very nice.

I'm good like that.

Can you stop that?

Break it, you bought it.

I think I bought it.

Добро, that wasn't mine to give away. That belongs to my friend's sister.

And that's why I'm gonna kill you first.

What are you gonna do to me? You'll see.

You're zip-tied to a bed.

This.

That.

Are you coming out?

Do not open. Do not open. Don't open. Don't open.

Во ред. Let's go.

You... You breathe fire? Добро.

It's a glorious day, Savin.

This time tomorrow,

I'll have the West's most powerful leader in one hand,

and the world's most feared terrorist in the other.

I'll own the war on terror.

Create supply and demand.

For you, for your brothers and sisters.

Trust me, you're gonna be in a puddle of blood

on the ground in five, four, three...

Ајде! Two...

How did we get this shift?

Во ред, I'm gonna give you a chance to escape.

Put down your weapons.

Tie yourselves to those chairs. I'll let you live.

In five, four, bang!

You should be gone by now. You should've already been gone.

I am just beyond terrified.

Here it comes.

Three, four... Shut up.

Five, four, three, two, one!

Told you.

Where's the rest?

Honestly, I hate working here. They are so weird.

Better late than never.

Not this time. Not the face.

It's good to be back. Hello, by the way.

Hello, г-не.

All personnel, Stark is loose and somewhere in the compound.

Repeat, Stark is loose and somewhere in the compound.

Let's go!

Crap.

Тони?

Rhodey, tell me that was you in the suit.

Не. You got yours?

Kind of. Main house, as fast as you can.

There's somebody I'd like you to meet.

You, you, you! Move! Get out!

The room is secure. I have eyes on the Мандарин.

What's this? I had winners.

What have you come as?

You make a move, and I break your face.

I never thought people had been hurt. They lied to me.

This is the Мандарин?

Да, I know, it's... It's embarrassing.

Hi, Trevor. Trevor Slattery.

I know I'm shorter in person. A bit smaller. Everyone says that.

But, hey, if you're here to arrest me,

there's some people I'd like to roll on.

Here's how it works, Meryl Streep.

You tell him where Pepper is and he'll stop doing it.

Doing what?

I get it! That hurt. I get it! I get it!

I don't know about any Pepper, but I know about the plan.

Spill. Do you know what they did to my suit?

What? Не.

But I do know it's happening off the coast.

Something to do with a big boat.

I can take you there.

Тони, I swear to God, I'm gonna blow his face off.

And this next bit may include the vice president as well.

Is that... Is that important?

Somewhat. Да, a little bit.

So?

What are we gonna do?

We don't have any transport.

Right.

Hey, Ringo.

Didn't you say something about a "lovely speedboat"?

If he's right about the location, we're 20 minutes from where Pepper is.

But we also have to figure out

this vice president thing, right? Right.

I wonder who I'm calling right now.

That's the vice president.

Thanks.

Hello?

Г-не, this is Тони Старк.

Welcome back to the land of the living.

We believe you're about to be drawn into the Мандарин campaign.

We gotta get you somewhere safe as soon as possible.

Г-не Старк, I'm about to eat honey-roast ham,

surrounded by the Agency's finest.

The president's safe on Air Force One with Colonel Rhodes.

I think we're good, here.

Г-не, this is Colonel Rhodes.

They're using the Iron Patriot as a Trojan horse.

They're gonna take out the president somehow.

We have to immediately alert that plane.

Добро, I'm on it. I'll have security lock it down.

If need be, they can have F-22s in the air in 30 seconds.

Фала, Colonel. Rhodes and Stark out.

Everything okay, г-не?

Couldn't be better.

I love you, babe.

Colonel Rhodes.

Glad to see you could make it, son. I feel safer already.

We gotta make a decision.

We can either save the president, or Pepper. We can't do both.

Г-не, I have an update from Malibu.

The cranes have finally arrived,

and the cellar doors are being cleared as we speak.

And what about the suit I'm wearing?

The armour is now at 92%.

That's going to have to do.

Here he comes. Here he comes. Get a quick picture.

Sure.

Everything all right, Colonel?

It is an honor, Mr President.

If you're gonna do it, do it!

Cool your boots, г-не.

That's not how the Мандарин works.

Г-не, Air Force One has been compromised.

Internal shots, temperature spikes.

Get me eyes on it now.

Image coming through now, г-не.

Was that Rhodes?

Is anyone there?

Let us out!

The President.

Now.

He's not here.

Try the jet stream?

Speaking of which, go fish.

Walk away from that, you son of a bitch.

How many in the air?

Thirteen, г-не.

How many can I carry? Four, г-не.

Slow down. Slow down, relax. What's your name? Heather?

Oh, God! Не! Не!

Listen to me. See that guy?

I'm gonna swing by, you're just gonna grab him.

You got it? What?

I'll electrify your arm, you won't be able to open your hand.

We can do this, Heather.

Easy, see? Eleven more to go.

Remember that game called Barrel of Monkeys?

That's what we're going to do.

18,000 feet.

Ајде, people. Everybody, grab your monkey.

Nice.

10,000 feet.

6,000 feet.

Ајде, people.

Ајде, come on, come on!

Да!

1,000 feet.

400 feet.

200 feet, г-не.

He's a chunky monkey, let's get him.

Hello.

We made it!

Nice work, guys!

Excellent. Good team effort all around. Go us.

Во ред, Џарвис.

But it's only half-done. We've still got to get Pepper...

That came out of nowhere.

Give me some good news, man.

I think they all made it.

Thank God.

Да, but I missed the president.

You couldn't save the president with the suit,

how are we gonna save Pepper with nothing?

Say, Џарвис, is it that time?

The House Party Protocol, г-не?

Correct.

Hi.

You think he's gonna help you?

He won't.

Having you here is not just to motivate Тони Старк. It's...

Well, it's actually more embarrassing than that.

You're here as my...

trophy.

Good evening, г-не.

Welcome aboard, Mr President.

Ever hear of an elephant graveyard?

Well, two years ago, the elephant in the room was this scow.

This is the Roxxon Norco.

And, of course, you'll remember

that when she spilled a million gallons of crude off Pensacola,

thanks to you, not one fat cat saw a day in court.

What do you want from me?

Nothing, г-не.

I just needed a reason to kill you that would play well on TV.

You see, I've moved on.

I found myself a new political patron,

and this time tomorrow, he'll have your job.

String him up.

Hey!

Ајде.

You're not gonna freak out on me, right?

I hope not.

Oh, my God.

He's strung up over the oil tanker. They're gonna light him up, man.

Viking funeral. Public execution.

Да, death by oil.

Broadcast will commence shortly. Take final positions.

Добро. That's good.

Now give me cameras A through E and we'll do a full tech rehearsal.

Is your gun up?

Yep. What do I do?

Stay on my six, cover high and don't shoot me in the back.

Six, high, back. Во ред.

You see that? Nailed it.

Да, you really killed the glass.

You think I was aiming for the bulb?

You can't hit a bulb at this distance.

All personnel, we have hostiles

on east unit 12. Over there!

I repeat, hostiles on east unit 12. I'm out. Give me...

You got extra magazines? They're not universal, Тони.

I know what I'm doing, I make this stuff. Give me another one.

One of yours. I don't have one that fits that gun.

You've got, like, five of them.

Here's what I'm going to do.

Save my spot, ready?

What'd you see? Too fast. Nothing.

Here we go.

Three guys, one girl, all armed.

God, I would kill for some armour right now.

You're right. We need backup. Да, a bunch.

You know what?

Is that...

Yep.

Are those... Да.

Merry Christmas, buddy.

Џарвис, target EXTREMIS heat signatures.

Disable with extreme prejudice.

Yes, г-не.

What are you waiting for? It's Christmas.

Take them to church.

Gentlemen.

Incoming!

Џарвис, get Igor to steady this thing.

This is how you've been managing your down time?

Everybody needs a hobby.

Heartbreaker, help Red Snapper out, will you?

Nice timing.

Да. That's awesome. Give me a suit, okay?

I'm sorry, they're only coded to me.

What does that mean? I got you covered.

Good evening, Colonel. Can I give you a lift?

Very funny.

Г-не, I've located Ms Potts.

About time.

Stop! Put it down. Put it down. Put it down.

See what happens when you hang out with my ex-girlfriends?

You're such a jerk.

Yep. We'll talk about it over dinner.

Ајде. A little more, baby.

Is this guy bothering you?

Don't get up.

Is it hot in there?

Stuck? Do you feel a little stuck?

Like a little turtle, cooking in his little turtle suit.

Тони.

She's watching.

I think you should close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes. You don't want to see this.

Да, you take a minute.

Џарвис, give me a suit right now!

Ајде!

Mr President! Just hold on, all right? I'm coming.

Just hold on. Hold on.

Добро.

Bye-bye.

Brace yourself.

You look damn good, Mr President,

but I'm gonna need that suit back.

The President is secure, Тони.

I'm clearing the area. Nice work.

Ready, г-не? What do you mean "ready"?

Pep, I got you. Relax, I got you.

Just look at me!

Honey, I can't reach any further and you can't stay there.

Во ред? You've got to let go.

You've got to let go! I'll catch you, I promise.

Не!

A shame. I would've caught her.

Eject.

Well, here we are on the roof.

Mark 42, inbound.

I'll be damned. The prodigal son returns.

Whatever.

You really didn't deserve her, Тони.

It's a pity. I was so close to having her perfect.

Добро, okay, wait, wait, wait! Slow down! Slow down!

You're right. I don't deserve her.

Here's where you're wrong.

She was already perfect.

Џарвис,

do me a favor and blow Mark 42.

Не...

Не more false faces.

You said you wanted the Мандарин.

You're looking right at him.

It was always me, Тони. Right from the start.

I am the Мандарин!

I got nothing.

Џарвис, subject at my 12 o'clock is not a target, disengage!

What? What, are you mad at me?

Honey?

Oh, my God.

That was really violent.

You just scared the devil out of me. I thought you were...

I was dead. Why? Because I fell 200 feet?

Who's the hot mess now?

It's still debatable.

Probably tipping your way a little bit.

Why don't you dress like this at home?

Sport bra. The whole deal.

You know, I think I understand why you don't want to give up the suits.

What am I going to complain about now?

Well, it's me.

You'll think of something.

Не, don't touch me. Don't worry about it.

Не, I'm gonna burn you. Не, you're not.

Not hot.

Am I gonna be okay?

Не.

You're in a relationship with me. Everything will never be okay.

But I think I can figure this out, yeah.

I almost had this 20 years ago when I was drunk.

I think I can get you better.

That's what I do. I fix stuff.

And all your distractions?

I'm going to shave them down a little bit.

Џарвис. Hey.

All wrapped up here, г-не. Will there be anything else?

You know what to do.

The Clean Slate Protocol, г-не?

Screw it, it's Christmas. Yes, yes.

Добро, so far? Do you like it?

It will do.

And so, as Christmas morning began, my journey had reached its end.

You start with something pure,

something exciting. Then, come the mistakes.

The compromises.

We create our own demons.

Great to see you! Bloody hell!

As promised, I got Pepper sorted out. It took some tinkering.

But then I thought to myself, "Why stop there?"

Of course, there are people who say progress is dangerous,

but I'll bet none of those idiots ever

had to live with a chestful of shrapnel.

And now, neither will I.

Let me tell you,

that was the best sleep I'd had in years.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Не, look.

So, if I were to wrap this up, tie it with a bow, or whatever...

I guess I'd say my armour, it was never a distraction,

or a hobby.

It was a cocoon.

And now,

I'm a changed man.

You can take away my house, and all my tricks and toys.

One thing you can't take away...

I am Iron Man.

You know, and thank you by the way. For listening.

Plus, something about getting it off my chest,

and putting it out there in the atmosphere instead of holding this in...

I mean, this is what gets people sick, you know.

I had no idea you were such a good listener.

To be able to share all my intimate thoughts

and my experiences with someone,

it just cuts the weight of it in half.

You know, it's like a snake swallowing its own tail.

Everything comes full circle.

And the fact that you've been able to help me process...

Are you with me? Sorry... I was, yeah.

We were at...

Are you actively napping?

I was... I... I drifted.

Where did I lose you?

Elevator in Switzerland.

So, you heard none of it.

I'm sorry. I'm not that kind of doctor.

I'm not a therapist.

It's not my training. So?

I don't have the... What? The time?

Temperament.

You know what? Now that I think about it...

God, my original wound.

1983, all right? Да.

I'm 14 years old, I still have a nanny. That was weird.
