01x10 - Casualties Of w*r

[bunniefuu]

Why are you here!?

Greetings, Dr. Tanaka!

If you don't mind, I would
appreciate your help preparing

the Arc Reactor for initiation.

Where's Iron Man?

What have you done with Tony?!

Hmm.

- But that's…
- Iron Man…

Is dead!

No!

- Hey Nanami…
- Huh?

Something's gone wrong.

I'm afraid that Iron Man is dead.

That's not true.

He can't...

I overheard those
men talking about it.

Mr. Stark…

We've been blessed
with this opportunity.

We have a responsibility
to share it.

No, he's still alive.

I just know it!

But Nanami…

I've got to get to
the bottom of this.

We have to find a way out of here!

What if I create a distraction!?

It's too dangerous!

Uhh, excuse me!

Sit back down!

Pardon me!

Where's the little boys room?

Shut your trap!

Hey. You smooshed my sandwich.

Okay. That's enough!

Oh, I'm sorry, Ichiro.

You allowed them to seize
control of the Arc Station!

How did they get past
the SDF, Kuroda?

Patience. We must stay calm.

I'm certain they will make
their demands clear soon enough,

Mr. Prime Minister.

We got a problem!

The t*rrorists are broadcasting
some sort of message

over national television!

They what!?

A message to the government...

Zodiac has taken over.

And we have come to
establish a new world order.

Zodiac?!

We have already taken
numerous hostages.

And taken the powerful Arc Station.

If you fail to cooperate
with our demands,

we'll have no choice
but to execute the hostages.

Then we'll use
the Reactor to obliterate

Japan from the face of the earth.

Nothing will be left.

So they're suicide bombers?

To avoid this, you must comply
with each of the following demands.

First, you must expel all U.S.
troops from the country.

Second, the Self Defense
Forces must disband.

And third,
the entire Diet must be dissolved.

I suggest, you proceed
as quickly as possible.

This guy's a nut-job!

What's wrong with these people?

They can't possibly
think this is gonna work.

Hey, you!

Hands where I can see 'em. Now!

Great.

Guess I didn't get far!

What's this?

Sir! I found her
snooping around the halls!

If you think they're gonna give in to
your crazy demands, you're dreaming!

Hmph. You think my plan is crazy?

I wouldn't expect
you to understand, but

everything I've done is for
the greater good of this country.

What do you mean?

Japan claims to renounce all w*r.

So tell me,
why this nation of yours teaming

with so many weapons then?

This hypocritical government
no longer has the ability

to lead Japan into the future.

Replacing it with one
that can is a necessity.

It's worth dying for.

We don't need that kind of 'help'!

Who the heck would want
t*rrorists running their country?!

Ooh! This one's feisty, isn't she?

Take her away.

Yes, sir!

Alright! Get moving!

Okay, okay, I'm going.

In there!

Where am I?

He really beat the
crap out of you, huh?

Sakurai.

Where's Yinsen?

That b*stard just took
over the Arc Station.

We'd better figure
out our next move.

My next move is
to get my armor back.

Yeah well I'm no longer cleared
to use the Ramon Zero armor.

Kuroda striped me of
my level 5 SDF clearance.

Well, that's a shame.

You just lost about
half your value.

Coming from a guy who managed
to lose his Iron Man Armor.

I'm not sure, you're one to talk.

This washed up near
where I found you.

I assumed, it's yours.

Thanks, Nagato!

So, what's the game plan?

It's like I said,

get my suit back,
then kick some a*s.

Chika! It's tony.

Mr. Stark?!

Thank goodness,
I thought we'd lost you!

It's gonna take more than a psychopath
in a fancy suit to take me out.

Listen. The lab has been
taken over by the t*rrorists.

They're forcing me help
prepare the Arc Reactor.

That'd be Yinsen.

The same guy who managed
to steal my Iron Man armor.

I need you to activate
the GPS signal.

Right. I'll check on it now.

- I found it!
- What are you doing?

Chika, is something wrong?!

Chika!

I'm afraid that your assistance
is no longer required.

Chika! Are you okay?

Tell me, what's happening!?

I see, you made
it out alive, Stark.

Don't worry, though.

I'll k*ll you soon enough.

Run a trace on that transmission,
and dispatch Sagittarius.

It's time to finish this.

There's no way we can
give in to such demands!

Surely, the t*rrorists
have figured that out by now.

Well, these zealots must be
after something else then!

We must proceed with
extreme caution, gentlemen.

They've taken hostages!

The situation may be dire…

but as long as they
do have hostages,

we need to respond
to their demands.

All right, General.
What's your plan?

as*ault! We have the SDF
standing by waiting for orders.

The moment you give the go-ahead,

they're prepared to
charge the Arc Station.

Just knock down the front door?

What would the
collateral damage be?

We could lose a third of
the hostages, maybe more.

If I go along with this plan...

my legacy will
be pile of body bags!

Sir, we must act quickly,

before the story
leaks to the media!

- No! The risk is too high!
- Gentlemen!

Huh?

If I may... please stop
bickering and let me handle this?

If you screw this up,
the blame will be on my shoulders!

I promise,
there will be no negative fallout,

and should my plan fail,
I shall accept sole responsibility.

But if it succeeds,
you'll get the credit.

We have received the full list of
demands from the t*rror1st group,

and members of the government
are busy preparing a response.

But there is concern for
the safety of the hostages.

That is why,
I stand before you tonight.

Not as a member of the Diet,
but rather as an everyday citizen.

I've come to make an announcement,
a proposition for Zodiac.

I would like to offer myself,

in exchange for the release
of all the hostages.

What the hell?

I understand that one man
for many may seem an uneven trade.

But I am hopeful you
will search your hearts

and at least consider my offer.

Zodiac has been listening
to the minister's plea for mercy.

And while your government
is in no position

to negotiate with our organization…

We do recognize his bravery.

Because of his selfless concern
for others above his own safety,

we will accept Mr. Kuroda's offer.

Get in there!

Doctor Tanaka!

Nanami!

Mr. Stark! Is he okay?

What's happened to him?!

Don't worry, he's alive.

Oh, thank god!

But we can't rest easy yet.

He doesn't have his Iron Man
armor anymore. They took it.

I've got to figure out a way
to find it and get it back to him.

I'm in! What do we do?

This is a nightmare.

Now Yinsen has the plutonium
and the Arc Reactor.

And I let it happen.

Iron Man is a weapon!

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

Maybe he was right.

Seems like the only thing I'm good

at these days is causing
death and destruction.

What was that?

My Iron Man armor is
supposed to protect people,

But now, my invention
isn't helping anyone.

It's only hurting innocents.

People's lives are being
put at risk, thanks to me.

How did everything go so wrong?

It's not your fault.

That other armor might
look like Iron Man, but really

they're just machines.

They lack one essential element.

Hold that though because uh…

Hey, do you mind
if I ask you something?

What do you want to know?

I was wondering,

are you and Mr. Stark, um…?

Yes, what about us?

Forget it. It was nothing.

Let me give you some advice.

- Okay.
- Nanami. You're a good journalist,

too good to chase after Tony Stark.

I'm good?

This is it.

I found it!

Welcome, Minster Kuroda!

I've kept my word.

Now release the hostages at once.

Nanami… I can't leave her.

Step on it,
he's gaining on us fast!

Yeah. I see him!

Mr. Stark! Can you hear me?

I know that voice. Nanami?

Listen uh,
I am a little busy right now.

Chika told me everything.

Don't worry.
I've got your armor with me.

That's great. But how did you?

Chika's the one you should thank.

Somehow she managed to shut
down their surveillance system,

so we could escape.

I've got to get that
armor as soon as possible.

I'm gonna send you coordinates
where we can meet up.

I'll keep that thing occupied.

You just get out of here.

Okay, thanks!

I'll be back for you
as soon as I get my armor!

Mr. Stark!

Glad you made it in one piece!
Where's Chika?

She said, she couldn't
leave the Arc Station.

Not until she wrapped
a few things up.

She's crazy.

Mr. Stark!

Don't worry.
Just a little heart attack.

That isn't funny.

You don't look so good.

Shouldn't you just
sit this one out?

Nanami…

This is who I am. And what I do.

It's time for me to go.

Find a place to take cover,
and hurry.

Wait, one thing!

What's up?

It's not important.
Just be careful.

I always am.

Bring it!

What?!

Told ya, I'd be back!

Hmph.

Tell me, Mr. Stark.

How does it feel to
be beaten by Iron Man?!

Kind of like a hangover.

Your machines are
kinda like you, Yinsen.

Missing the human element!

Spare me.

I knew it.
Somebody's broke into the system.

That must be why the EMP
device was malfunctioning before!

Who's there!?

Wait, I-I know you…
Aren't you Nanami's…?

I wish…

Say, did ya happen
to see Nanami around?

You think, Iron Man's just
a weapon of mass destruction!?

Well, get ready to
see how right you are!

What…!?

Yinsen, I'm sorry your
family was taken from you.

But what you're doing now is wrong!

It goes against
everything you taught me.

Maybe the best part of
you died that day in the cave.

And now the only thing
you'll understand is this!

You're so naive.

You really think, you can
save the world with platitudes!?

Ha! The only thing
people understand is power!

What's going on?

Are you okay!?

- Iron Man?!
- Huh?

He had the chance to sh**t them,
but he didn't.

Why? Why the hesitation?

- What?!
- What?!

Sigma!

Why did you take that hit for me?

Because no matter what you say…

I saw a glimmer of
humanity left in you.

Fool! Any good that
was in me was destroyed

the day my family was slaughtered.

Why are you turning against them?

They're not acting
under my orders anymore.

Someone else must
be controlling them

I've lost them!

Sigma. No!

Yinsen.

Yinsen, why?

Why did you join Zodiac?

At first, I only wanted a chance...

To do something good in this world.

To try and make a difference.

I thought, I could control
the power they gave me.

But in the end, it controlled me.
It corrupted me.

But you're different
from me, Stark.

I know, you can handle it.

I'm sorry for everything.

Stark.

Zodiac's not done.

Their real plans
are only just beginning.

You've got to stop them.
