01x09 - A Duel Of Iron

[bunniefuu]

Hello? You all right?

Oh no!

You're awake.

Oh! You shouldn't move.

I thank you.

Of course, I'm glad to help.

You were hurt so badly.

Be patient, you'll be well soon.

Is it ready yet?

Are you done, Sheh-la?

Almost. Just one more knot.

Try it on!

- There.
- Oh, it's beautiful!

Oh! Make one for me too!

All right.

Hm?!

Oh no!

Yinsen!

Wanna lend me that
strong back of yours?

Sorry, but he's got
his hands full here!

Oh, that Bill!

He's got a good strong horse
but he leaves him in his barn.

Yin-senn!

When you're done with that hay,
come play with us!

Of course! But don't you
have some school work to do first?

Haah?!

Na-uh!

Yinsen cracks the whip!

An opportunity
has presented itself.

Get here at once.

Understood.

We're so happy you called!

What can we help you with,
Mr. Stark?

With all the recent
Zodiac incidents,

I feel maybe the public's lost
sight of my World Peace initiative.

And so I thought of you..

Hoping you might do me a favor.

- Huh?
- Oh?

So you're saying
with your Arc Reactor

there'll be no more international
conflicts over resources?

No more competing for fossil fuels?

Exactly.

And your paper is the perfect
platform to educate the public.

But people know about
your Arc Reactor.

Indeed!

But most of them have some concerns
about the Station's safety.

And an article by you
might just dispel that fear.

- Yeah.
- Hunh.

Now passing checkpoint 7.
Nothing to report.

Looking good for our target ETA.

Roger that, Convoy X. Over.

What the hell?!

Spit it out.
What's happened to them?!

It appears an unidentified
assailant has attacked the convoy.

All personnel are dead.

And, Sir...
the plutonium is missing.

Keep this under wraps
and get troops there at once!

So, I can see why you'd
consider Stark Industries'

Arc Station to be an essential part
of your World Peace Initiative but...

Do You think
world peace is possible?

I mean, in our lifetime?

Yes, of course I do.

We've been blessed
with great opportunity.

An opportunity to
make peace a reality.

But how?

By creating a world
without weapons.

Where people don't have
to worry about car bombs

or landmines or suicide bombers.

It won't be easy but
the key is my arc reactor.

And our first step is
going to be eliminating

the conflict over energy resources.

The Arc Station will create
unlimited clean energy for free.

Excuse me, I'm gonna take this.

It just be second.

Go for Tony.

I've got terrible news, Tony!

The SDF unit transporting
that load of plutonium

- has just been ambushed!
- They what?!

Hold your fire!

I'll ask one more time!

I need to know what's
going on in this lab now!

The Minister has revoked
your clearance.

What?! What's going on?

Why would he do that?

Dammit.

They cant be far.

Scanning initiated.

Identity: Unknown.

It's zodiac. It has to be.

Alert.
Hostile bio signature detected.

Hostile? When is it not?

Ah ah ah! That's not yours!
Hands off!

That's right.
I'm talking to you, Yinsen.

This is becoming a habit.

People are gonna start to talk.

And we cant have that.

Still posturing like a child?

You're broken inside.

And I'm gonna fix you.

Zodiac's turned you
into a living weapon,

hellbent on destroying our world.

But you know what,
that's not gonna happen.

Not on my watch!

Oooh! And the shot goes wide.

That was your one freebie,
next one's gonna cost.

Oh, I think I can afford it.
Let's get to it!

Feels good, doesn't it!?

Well, have another taste!

Don't you get it?
There's no way you'll succeed!

You're being used!!

You need to listen to reason!

Listen to what I have to say!

Just hear me out!

Zodiac means to
k*ll innocent people!

You want be a part of that?
That's not who you are!

I am not the man you used to know!

Your diseased world
has burned away my weakness!

I can see clearly now, Stark.

What the hell are
you talking about?

It's useless to try to explain.

This will make things simpler.

It's the SDF!
So much for “simpler”!

Please.

Leave them alone!
It's between you and me!

They're hardly innocent,
Stark, but,

since I'm running behind schedule,

I'll let Sagittarius
take care of this.

A robot centaur. How scary!

Yinsen! Let's talk!

Or not.

Well, I think, I've had enough.

How about you!?

Hostile location undetected.

I let him get away!

And I had him in my hands!

He's got to be stopped
before more people get hurt.

When it rains it pours, doesn't it,
Mr. Stark?

Zodiac won't escape again.
I can assure you of that.

This is unthinkable.

Hm?

There is just too much history
between Japan and the U.S.

Japan has bore the brunt
twice of a nuclear attack.

And both times America was
responsible for these vicious acts.

And now this!

I will get the plutonium back.
Whatever it takes.

This is your last chance,
Mr. Stark.

No mistakes, no accidents.

You cannot fail this time.

You do understand what's
at stake here, don't you?

The fate of both our countries.

Stark!

Did you find out
anything useful at the lab?

Not a thing.

They've got the whole place
on lock down.

I've been shut out.

Well, somebody doesn't like us.

We still need answers.
We need to come up with a plan.

Yeah. But until I get some Intel
somehow, I can't do anything.

Keep digging.
Something's bound to turn...

Hang on!

Blocked call! Stark here.

Who's calling, please?

Stark...

Yinsen... Would you like me
to tell you where the plutonium is?

I've put it somewhere that's safe.

That's what you'd do, isn't it?

Get to the point.

I'm tired of playing
games with you, Yinsen.

I'm thinking about the past.

Way back.

You always bring up the past to me.

And to this very day,

it still haunts me.

Yinsen. Aren't you
going to Shehla's wedding?

Don't think so.

But I do wish her the very best.

She of all people
deserves to be happy.

She has the kindest heart
I've ever known.

Here they are!
Let's hear it for the happy couple!

Shehla!

All the best to you!

Here's to a long and happy life!

Hm? What's that?

Shehla!

Shehla! Where are you?

So that's what going on.

Yes.

A few arrant Stark missiles,

and my family's wiped
out for the second time.

I'm sorry!

Now I understand
why you've gone out

of your way to see me suffer.

And I deserved it,

But this is much bigger
than either one of us, Yinsen.

You asked me to make it my
life's work to do good, remember?

That's gone.

You've k*lled that man.

This is about seeing people
for what they really are;

small, petty, bloodthirsty.

I can make them
be better than that.

See you in ten.

Yinsen, wait.
It doesn't have to go...

Dammit!

That was him?

So where do we find him?

This doesn't concern you.

But it does!

My only concern is getting
back that plutonium.

You'll need my help.

You stay here.
I need to handle this alone.

I let him get away before,
he's my responsibility.

Even if it kills me.

All right.

If that's what you want.

You know where to
find me if you need help.

Stark, I'm pleased,
you decided to accept my challenge.

Let's not waste any more time,
shall we?

Why don't you see things
for how they really are?

This world is a cesspool!

You cant make it better,
you have to start over!

So!

What do you say,
see things my way yet?

You may think “might makes right”

but I don't believe that.

I think, people can be better
if you give them a chance.

When I promised you I would
change the way I live my life,

- I meant it.
- Liar!

I haven't seen you do a damn
thing to make any progress!

So much potential lost.

I could help you
find some retribution.

And who are you?

Innocent people become
victims of w*r everyday.

But with your help,
we can change that.

I can give you the power to stop
this from ever happening again.

What do you mean “power”?

Let me show you.

Is that Stark?

Stark's taken over.

He's everywhere,
wreaking havoc on the masses.

He's using the Iron Man
armor you created together,

and now he takes whatever he wants,
whenever he wants!

He's a plague to the human race!

You have potential.
But you squandered it.

But you've done nothing!

This new world you were supposed
to create, doesn't exist!

It takes time! I'm still
working on making it a reality!

Iron Man is a weapon!

Look at us. We created
a weapon of mass destruction.

You're wrong!

The Iron Man armor
isn't good or bad.

It's how you choose to use it,
and I use it for good!

Spare me.

I'm about to change the world.

We will begin again, from scratch.

What do you talking about?

Hunh?!

What are those lights out there?

Huh?!
Lights?

Check it out!

It's like a whole army of
Iron Man suits.

Mr. Stark!

There appears to be
a group of Iron Man clones

approaching the Arc Station!

What has he done?!

Iron Man Sigma.

“Iron Man Sigma”?

Really? Unmanned models I created.

You produced from my Dio specs.

They will do anything I command.

You see, Stark. If you won't
change the world, then I will!

Get the EMP shield up!

We can't!
The system isn't responding!

That can't be!

Please! Just leave us alone!

C'mon, Yinsen!

Dig down! You're deeper than this!

Oh, shut up!

It's starting!

You know, you have no one
but yourself to blame.

No! You're wrong!

Just give me more time!

Another of your empty promises.

What should I do with
an arrogant impostor like you?

From now on,
I'll be deciding the future.

Yinsen, just look at you...

Ouch!

Don't worry, I'll make sure
that plutonium's put to good use.

- You can count on it.
- No.

You won't be needing your Iron Man
armor when you're dead, will you?

Finally!

My new world order can begin.
