"Is everything all right?" "Smooth as silk. we're right on schedule." "#2:" "Going Nuclear" ""Tony Stark." ""A brilliant visionary and the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation" ""that he inherited from his father." ""In his spare time, he is also Iron Man, the superhero."" "And I thought he was just some airhead playboy with too much money." "In other news," "Tony Stark, on a visit to Japan, has been summoned to appear before Parliament." "Stark will have to respond to allegations of illegal smuggling of plutonium into Japan." "Mr. Masuda!" "Grab your camera." "Let's go!" "I'm full..." "That's absurd." "Why would we stop developing the Station?" "I never told anyone to stop." "we received information." "There was an incident." "Plutonium was stolen and smuggled into Japan." "What does that have to do with the Station?" "The Arc Station runs on plutonium." "well, it seems pretty obvious that someone is trying to set me up." "I trust you, of course." "But the situation is weird, to say the least." "The problem will be solved if I retrieve the missing plutonium, right?" "That won't be necessary." "Our team is already handling it." "Besides, I think you already have enough on your plate, Mr. Stark." "All right, then." "Mr. Stark, according to these allegations, you are attempting to smuggle nuclear fuel into Japan." "Is this true?" "what is your answer to this question?" "what's wrong with you?" "I have an answer." "I'm just trying to come up with the proper Japanese phrase." "I think I've got it." "These are false accusations." "Mr. Stark!" "Your comment is insufficient." "will you be releasing a statement?" "Can you give us details about your discussion with Minister Kuroda?" "Mr. Stark!" "Thanks a lot, Mr. Masuda!" "we're late!" "we missed everything!" "Mr. Stark!" "Perfect timing." "Do you mind giving me a lift?" "Sure." "Mr. Stark!" "Please wait!" "Just one more question, sir!" "I can't believe my luck!" "Here's my chance to get that interview." "Thanks, you saved me from the noisy press." "Can I thank you by taking you out to lunch?" "Somewhere we can have a nice glass of wine?" "Thanks, but I'd prefer an interview." "And a few photos maybe?" "Pretty please?" "Sorry, my bad." "Did I just ask you out for dinner right in front of your boyfriend?" "Hey, look, no problem." "You can come too." "He's your boyfriend, right?" "Of course not!" "He's just a photographer I work with!" "A simple, "No" would have sufficed." "Now, Mr. Stark." "Most of Japan thinks you're trying to smuggle plutonium." "Are the rumors true or not?" "Due to allegations, Stark Industries' stock is dropping." "If they are just rumors, why don't you explain at once?" "I could tell your side of the story." "I believe that this will help you, as well." "I see." "You became a real reporter." "Thank you very much." "The new me is going..." "But, I'm beginning to miss the old you already." "What?" "Did I upset Tony Stark?" "No!" "Thanks for the ride." "Waiting is not my thing." "He's gone." "well, that's just great." "My last chance with Tony Stark and I blew it." "Nanami..." "Maritime SDF 1, here." "we've finished investigating the target cargo." "There is nothing strange to report." "Roger that." "That one." "No one is here." "Hey!" "Are you okay?" "what happened here?" "It was some kind of creature." "we couldn't escape it!" "The plutonium..." "You have to hurry!" "Switching from infrared sensors to radiation detection." "well, now we know the plutonium was here." "You have got to be kidding me!" "I am Cancer, member of the Zodiac." "The Zodiac?" "Sorry, but I'm in a hurry." "You'll have to excuse me." "Connect me with Minister Kuroda." "Minister, there is a problem with the cargo ship." "What are you talking about?" "Your investigative team has been wiped out." "wiped out?" "Sir, are you familiar with the Zodiac?" "It's a terrorist organization, an affiliate of Advanced ldea Mechanics." "They are the ones behind whatever is going on here." "They are trying to bring the plutonium in." "Really?" "That sounds a bit far-fetched." "Stay out of this, Mr. Stark." "we didn't ask for your assistance." "Frankly, this is starting to make me think that you have something to hide." "Really?" "well, I guess I'm going to have to prove you wrong, then." "And the only way to do that is to find the plutonium myself and get it back safely." "I will assist you as much as I can then." "Please set up the checkpoints." "Okay." "It seems I am a little late." "Access surveillance videos." "Yeah, that's it." "Now play back the tape." "Stop." "Bingo." "All right, access Stark Industries, satellite 004." "Okay, lock and track the target." "Give me 3-D traffic mode." "Now, continue tracking." "Continuously transfer the data to Iron Man." "Roger that." "Hey Nanami, will you try interviewing Tony Stark again?" "Yeah, I'll never give up." "I can't leave him like this." "You were quick to snap out of it." "what is it?" "Tony Stark just drove by." "what?" "why didn't you say something?" "Don't you think you're driving a little fast?" "I won't let him go." "I'm going to get that interview, even if I die trying." "I'm not enjoying this!" "I'm borrowing your camera, okay?" "what?" "Nanami, wait!" "Mind if I borrow your scooter?" "Hey!" "Don't worry!" "I'll bring it right back!" "Minister Kuroda, I found the plutonium thief." "I'm tracking him now." "Really?" "we will continue until checkpoint." "what's going on?" "why all the traffic?" "well, do something. we can't just sit here." "Go around." "Get us out of here!" "There's no way around." "This way is just as bad." "Gotcha." "we've got someone on our tail!" "what?" "we're almost at the rendezvous!" "So you're gonna play hard to get, aren't you?" "Smoke bombs." "If they hit you, there'll be damage." "Did he intentionally target our car?" "He's just playing with us." "Damn, a checkpoint." "Come on!" "I found him." "Gangway!" "I will not miss my next shot." "He's right behind us!" "Ouch... what is this?" "Hand me the suitcase." "Nice and easy." "Enough!" "Cease and desist before more innocent people get hurt." "And you are?" "Let's just say I'm a concerned citizen." "we can still make it to the rendezvous." "Let's go!" "Right!" "where's the camera?" "I've got to get a shot of this!" "Listen, concerned citizen, would you mind getting out of my way?" "I'm warning you." "Do you realize how many laws you've just broken?" "Sorry about that." "Listen pal, you are standing between me and something much biggerthan you." "No need to apologize." "You Americans think you can just come here and do whatever..." "Excuse me?" "Sorry to interrupt." "we didn't finish our interview, Mr. Stark." "well, she is persistent." "what is that thing?" "what is that?" "Find shelter, now!" "Now it gets interesting." "Her suitcase!" "I'm getting radioactive readings!" "Damn it." "It's that girl!" "She must have it!" "why are you following me?" "This is so not fair!" "where's Iron Man when you need him?" "Nice stealth technology." "No readings." "No footprint." "This is Nagato Sakurai." "Due to the incident, please allow temporary exemptions to traffic laws." "Roger that." "what is he going to do?" "I see, over there!" "what's happening?" "Surrender the plutonium!" "Stop it!" "Sorry, but you're not gonna faint on me, are you?" "I'd hate to drop you." "we recovered the plutonium, Zodiac." "Plutonium?" "Huh?" ""The false rumors and allegations were cleared, thus proving his innocence," ""Iron Man," ""Tony Stark himself." ""Perhaps the Japanese public will learn a lesson from all of this." ""As victims of discrimination, we should not be quick to judge others. "" "Hi, Nanami." "Mr. Masuda, I'm sorry about your camera." "I will replace it when I get my next paycheck." "No, that's not it." "Look what came for you." "They're gorgeous!" "who could they be from?" ""Looking forward to our third date." "Tony Stark."" "Yeah, I guess he's thanking you for writing such a flattering article." "You think so?" "I've read your report." "Tell me, what did you think of Tony Stark?" "He's reckless, sir." "However, he's a man of action." "Strong willed." "A man who will achieve his goals." "In any case, he is interesting." "Yes, I see." "I'll keep that in mind." "I hope this will change people's impression of Tony Stark." "He saved the day." "I'm going to strive to be an expert like him." "What is that?" "An enormous tornado?" "The number of victims is increasing." "I have to look into this." "Chief!" "Chief!" "Next on Iron Man:" "Reap the whirlwind." "I still have to pay for Mr. Masuda's camera!"
