"who the hell is he?" "what the... who are you?" "#7:" "At the Mercy of My Friends" "Who could that have been?" "Dr. Tanaka?" "Doc?" "what are you doing?" "I'm beat and so hungry." "That interview went on for ever." "what a waste of time." "I feel your pain, but dealing with stuff like that is just part of the job." "My brain knows that, but my stomach doesn't." "I'm starving." "I said I'm starving." "Masuda!" "Tony Stark just passed us!" "Are you sure?" "Yes, that's his car." "where the heck is Stark going at this time of night?" "Do you smell what I smell ?" "Sure do!" "I love that smell !" "It's the smell of a big scoop!" "Follow that smell !" "All set." "I'm ready to shoot." "Make sure you catch those Kodak moments." "You bet!" "Masuda, are you okay?" "Yeah." "what just happened?" "Not sure." "Let's just get out of here." "Yeah." "Mr. Stark!" "He's gone!" "where could he be?" "Nanami." "Look at that." "That's strange!" "I've got a bad feeling about this." "I think we should call the cops." "I agree." "It 's getting too dangerous." "This is Nanami Ota from the Tokyo Journal I need to report some..." "Dr. Tanaka!" "Are you okay?" "wake up." "Stark?" "where are we?" "who knows?" "From what I see, I'd say we've been kidnapped." "But if so, why's that door open?" "No guards either." "It doesn't add up." "well, now, I guess that answers the guard question." "So, Doc, any idea where the heck we might be?" "Actually, yes." "I'm guessing we're still near Japan on one of those islands that's used as a landfill ." "we've got our very own trash island." "Not the best vacation spot." "what's going on?" "what the hell is this crap?" "Couldn't they just have taken my wallet instead?" "Never heard of a reactor thief." "Are you all right?" "well, that depends on your definition of all right." "I'd be dead in a few minutes without my reactor." "Since I'm still alive, I'm guessing they've replaced my Arc Reactor with this pacemaker." "who could 've done this to you?" "Not sure." "But whoever it is, they obviously want me to stick around a little longer." "Yinsen!" "It's been a while, hasn't it, Stark?" "I knew it!" "You've been alive this whole time." "well, it depends on how you look at it." "The Yinsen you knew is dead." "what does that mean?" "The man you see here now is part of the Zodiac." "I don't believe that." "You'd never join Zodiac." "You're the one who told me to use my abilities for peace." "what the..." "Yes, I was the one who took this from you." "Your life is in my hands." "I gave you life once." "why not take it back, huh?" "That pacemaker I put in you will only last 24 hours before it stops." "I'll give you till then to decide whether or not you want to join the Zodiac." "what?" "Please." "No one can create amazing weaponry like you can." "The Zodiac needs someone with such a talent." "Anyway, why not go back to what you're really good at, Tony?" "Cut the crap!" "I'll never go back to being that person again." "Never say never." "well, then, you've got 24 hours to decide." "I should warn you, don't waste your time trying to escape." "wait!" "Mr. Stark!" "Mr. Stark!" "I can't believe it." "why would Yinsen do this?" "I remember you telling me about him before." "You said he changed your life." "He did." "He didn't just save my life that day, he saved my soul, as well ." "The way I live my life now, I owe that all to him." "He saved me." "The world" "needs you, Tony." "Use all of your wealth and knowledge to finish what we've started." "It is your destiny." "You see, Yinsen hated violence as a means to an end." "So it's inconceivable that he would join the Zodiac." "It makes no sense." "It's best not to dwell on that now." "we need to figure out a way to escape." "Right. we need to get back to the Station." "I have spare reactors there." "Is that..." "Yeah, but it's worthless." "No reception, huh?" "But we've got more than just your cell phone here." "Look at all this material we can use." "How resourceful Tethering my cell phone to connect to the Internet, huh?" "Yeah, we should be able to connect with the outside world now." "The word, "Impossible " only exists in the dictionary for fools ." "We've blocked all wireless signals within a 10 km radius of the island." "Call me when you figure out how to fix that." "Hold on!" "Tell me, Yinsen!" "what exactly happened to you?" "why?" "I don't think you have time for small talk ." "your time is precious, make the best of it." "Tony Stark." "You're brilliant when it comes to dealing with any type of situation." "But that will get you to see things as they really are." "Uncover the real you and realize that you are destined to create weaponry." "Just as altering genes can change people physically," "I'll tap into the core of your psyche, Stark." "You'll be back to your old self in no time." "All I have to do is show you something that'll trigger the process." "Mr. Stark, you should rest." "Let's keep going." "I'm done for either way." "we have to do whatever it takes to get off this island." "Dr. Yinsen, give me an update." "Everything's going fine." "I'm reviewing all the data right now." "I'll send my analsis as soon as I'm done." "What about Stark?" "Let's just say that he's running out of time." "All we need now is a bottle of champagne for the launch." "well, Doc, we did it!" "Let's get the hell out of here." "It's best you lie down." "I feel weak." "I'm sorry." "without my reactor, I feel worthless." "well, that just isn't true." "Not based on what I've seen." "what do you mean?" "In spite of being weakened, you've kept seeking out solutions." "That's very impressive." "I really mean it." "Even more so than when you're successful in everything." "Then I should try to get beaten up more often, shouldn't I?" "But that can wait." "So what's next?" "I saw a yacht hidden in that cove over there." "It's probably Yinsen's." "And that's our ticket home." "But what if we get attacked like last time?" "Unless we have a weapon..." "Yeah, but I wouldn't create a weapon." "why not?" "I have to show Yinsen that I'm not the same man he once knew." "Nanami, wake up!" "Nanami!" "Look at you two!" "I'm sorry..." "Pull your self together!" "we have a guest!" "So not just Mr. Stark?" "Dr. Tanaka, too?" "That's right." "Lab 23 has reported that she's missing." "I'd like for you to tell me everything you saw that night." "Of course." "There was an incident reported this morning about radio interference activity coming from a ship." "Right here." "And this is the pier where Mr. Stark's car was found." "Now, do you remember which direction the boat you saw was heading?" "well ..." "Maybe this might help ?" "what is that?" "I have no idea, but this thing fell on us when we were following Mr. Stark's car." "Great job!" "You were ready for those Kodak moments!" "You finally earned my respect!" "Thanks, Nanami." "where did he..." "That's odd." "He's taking too long this time." "what's he up to?" "Something's wrong." "Scorpio, fire on Stark." "what the hell has he done?" "It's a hologram!" "Our cover's blown." "Keep running!" "He's had his chance." "End this." "Once you're cornered, the old you will come back to us again." "Are you okay?" "Look at your ankle ." "Can you walk ?" "Mr. Stark, there isn't much time before he catches up to us." "Go without me." "I'm not leaving you." "The world really needs you!" "You have to survive." "So please go!" "I can't." "I need to fulfill my dream." "Your dream?" "Yes, to live in a world at peace." "A world without violence." "That's my dream." "I need your help in order to make that world a reality." "You should be safe here." "I'm sorry." "Not nearly as sorry as I am." "Because of me, you're being chased by that giant scorpion." "No, that's not true." "Because of you, I now have a dream." "well, that's a first." "I never heard you talk about your self before." "And I'd love to hear more, but..." "Damn Mech!" "This could work." "Hey, sweet cheeks!" "At last!" "The real Tony Stark!" "That's it!" "Kill your enemy!" "Immerse your self in blood," "Stark, so you can revert back into the warmonger you once were!" "It's about time we start seeing the real Tony Stark!" "Go on, obliterate the enemy!" "Blast him to hell !" "what?" "Don't worry." "This was all just a test." "That was quite impressive, jamming the signal against us." "You're definitely not the Tony Stark I once knew." "Next time will be different." "Boy, do I owe you one." "No, on the contrary, I owe you one." "I think we're even." "Captain Sakurai!" "So it was you?" "If you want to thank someone, you should talk to that reporter that's always chasing you." "Nanami?" "I can see it." "Look!" "It 's our rescue ship!" "Tell them to turn around." "I think I'd rather spend a little more time with you." "I've never seen such a beautiful sunset." "It seems so pure because there's no one on this contaminated island." "You know, I wish the whole world could see this one sunset." "That would be another dream of yours?" "Yeah." "When you have a bad feeling about something, you hope that it won't come true." "I couldn't believe that Tony Stark got kidnapped!" "I've got to find out what happened to him exactly ." "Dr. Tanaka was with him." "I must get this interview!" "Wait." "Who's that little girl standing next to him?" "Next time on Iron Man:" "Daughterof the Zodiac." "Next Episode:" "#8:" "Daughterof the Zodiac" "Oh, my, is she his secret daughter?" "This could be a huge scoop!"
