"Subtitles by King" "I hope you enjoy it, Tom." "We'd like to welcome you aboard this evening." "We're showing clear skies and good visibility up ahead." "So we hope you'll sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight." "What the..." "Tower, do you copy?" "Tower, east-bound jet coming in hot." "We just had a near miss up here!" "Do you copy?" "Roger." "It was the Stark Industry's corporate jet... with the CEO onboard." "Seems he's a little ahead of his flight plan." "Tony Stark?" "That was Iron Man." "It all begins here, the Land of the Rising Son." "Dr. Tanaka?" "I'm sorry." "I just didn't expect the head of Lab 23... and my right-hand man in Japan to be a woman," " and pretty one at that." " Allow me to say, sir." "It's an honour to be working with a man... behind Iron Man." "So, where to first?" "You have a meeting with the Minister of Defense at 8:00." "Meeting?" "Come on, let's do something fun, I just got here." "I was thinking maybe we can grab a bite to eat if you're hungry." "Perhaps you have heard the expression, "Time is money"." "Hm, no, never." "I can see you've got a lot to teach me, Dr." "You know, I don't get turned down a lot." "I kind of like it.." "Good evening, Mr. Stark, Welcome to Japan." "I appreciate you taking the time to greet me personally, thank you." "So, that's the Arc Station below?" "Right next to the US military base." "By the way, I'm sorry for all of this." "I truly wish I had the time to give you a proper tour Kyoto." "No at all, you couldn't ask for a more incredible view." "It's inspiring to see our two countries united." "Working together toward a common goal." "Very much so." "I wanna tell you how grateful for the opportunity... to build an arc station in Japan." "I honestly believe... this could be the first step toward world peace." "I hope so." "But tell me, Mr. Stark..." "Is there any truth to the rumors you're retiring Iron Man?" "There is, but I wouldn't worry too much, minister." "Dio, my new Iron Man prototype... is ready for mass production." "Mass production?" " Hm, that's very impressive." " Impressive indeed." "The training of my replacement has already begun." "I see, but you yourself are relinquishing the role?" "I've hung up my armor..." "In fact, I've put it on display at my home ." "It's just a museum piece now." "Remarkable, to willingly give up such power." "Ah well, meanwhile, let's get down to business." "We have an arc station... to get up and running, Minister Kuroda." "We can't keep the world waiting." "What exactly is the reactor's status, Dr. Tanaka?" "As of this morning, we're at 90% completion." "Extraordinary." "I knew you people at Lab 23 were good." "But I didn't know they were this good." "Of course, ultimately we won't be able to proceed... without the plutonium priming device." "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that." "But I do, Mr. Stark." "I think we have to be concerned about what the Japanese public's reaction will be to all this.." "Yes, it's pretty grime picture, all right." "Unlimited free energy forever." "I mean, that'd be terrible, who in their right mind would want that?" "I'm afraid some people might not be able to view it the way you do." "If you hope to succeed here, Mr. Stark..." "Perhaps you should understand the Japanese way of thinking." "Okay then, why don't you educate me?" "What've I got to do to make the Japanese fall in love with me?" "You might try, a modicum of humility." "Humility." "Hm, that's a tough one;" "I'm not even sure what it means." "Your mind is miles away, Tony." "I don't thinkg I've ever seen you so Zen-like." "Ah, it's nothing, I'm fine." "It's just been a long day, Pepper." "Anyway, what's the news?" "The Iron Man Dio prototype is completed... and the first batch of trainees are on their way to Japan." "Excellent." "How's life in the Land of the Rising Sun?" "Oh, you known, good food, beautiful women." "What's not to like?" "But the best of all, Pepper... the Japanese really seem to be onboard with the Arc Station." "This is the perfect place to launch my initiative." "Great, sounds like it's all coming together." "Couldn't be better." "You know, we were right to start this project in Japan." "Right here, Pepper, this is it." "This is where my dream finally comes true." "I just hope that they appreciate what you're trying to do over there." "Nanami, what is this drivel?" "Over-written, sentimental!" "You call this a news story?" "Well, I call it trash!" "What do you really think?" "I'm starting to think your skills might be better applied to another line of work." " Like finding a husband." " I volunteer, totally!" " You stay out of this!" " You guys... are so enlightened and sensitive." "You wanna see reporting, Look at this!" "What?" "Tony Stark is here?" "It's called news!" "And I'm tired of the competition getting to it first!" "You understand?" "So get out of there and get on that story!" "Some things are worth waiting for." "Gentlemen, I give you, Iron Man Dio." "Mass production can begin... as soon as we get past inspection, sir." "Well, that's fine." "But the most high-tech hardware is only as good as the man behind it." " You guys are where I came to see." " Thank you, Mr. Stark, sir." "It's an honour to be chosen for this project." " You can count on us, sir." " Well, that's good news." "All right, who's the lucky lady who gets the first dance?" "I'll be piloting, unless of course you ride." "No, no." "This is your show." "I'll be up in the cheap seats." "Hard to believe all this came out of that guy's brain." "Man's a genius." "Well, he's smart enough to know when to step aside and let the next generation take over." "You got that right." " Where was the impact?" " Here, sir." " That was right on target, a direct hit." " Yes, sir." "And it's still standing?" "I'm showing no damage." "Extraordinary, no a scratch on it." "As we say in my country, you ain't seen nothing yet." "Time for the flight test, Mr. Stark." "Of course, the moment we've all been waiting for." "Let's find out what 1.5 billion dollors can do, shall we?" "We're ready, sir." "You won't be disappointed." " Hey, it's him." "Mr. Stark!" " Mr. Stark!" "Is it true that your Arc Station is just a front ... for military weapons development?" "You guys make me feel right at home." "Reporters in my country ask stupid questions too." "Can you explain the purpose of the station?" "Sure can." "Okay, here's your headline..." "The Arc Station will supply unlimited energy... that's absolutely clean and totally free." "For free?" "But how is that possible?" "Well, if I explain that, I'll bore the pants off everone..." " including me." " There are not military applications?" "Of course not." "Listen, Stark Industry... was involved in the defence industry in the past." "But today, we're at the forefront of the march toward global peace." "And the Arc Reactor is just a start." "Mr. Stark, to change the subject for a moment, tell us about Iron Man." "Will you be putting on your armor and going into action... while you're here in Japan?" "That's a good question." "No, I will not." "In fact, my days as Iron Man is over." " I'm officially retired." " Retiring?" "Are you kidding?" "But you can't." "Now you'll still have an Iron Man, folks..." "It just won't be me." "Nanami, go on ask him something." "Yeah." "Excuse me." " I'm so sorry." " Well, hello?" "If you wanted a one-on-one, all you had to do was ask." "I don't bite." "You jerk!" "How dare you?" "Woh, Nanami." "Welcome, and thank you all for coming." "In collaboration with your own Self Defence force..." "I'd like to put on a small demonstration as a token of my esteem ... for your great country." "So now, I'd like you all to just sit back and relax..." "Hang on to your hats and let the show begin." " Look who it is!" " Tony Stark!" " Tony." " What a show-off." "Look at him, sure doesn't look like a cheap seat to me." "That was the shortest retirement in history." "So much for humility." "This isn't good." "Oh no!" "What in world?" " What was that weird flash of light?" " Hello?" "Are you all right?" "I'm all right, This is nothing." "But I still got a feeling in my left cheek, thank you very much." " Yeah, sorry about that." " Mr. Stark, are you all right?" "I'm fine, Dr, The Earth broke my fall." "All mechanical systems have shut down." "I see." "I'll leave it here for you team to pick up." " Meet you back at the station" " We're on our way." "Just wondering if I can ask you for a favour." "I suppose so." "Would you mind terribly giving me a ride home?" "Sure, I mean no." "I mean, I'd be happy to." "Oh, in return, will you give me an exclusive interview?" "I'm Nanami Ota, from the Tokyo Journal." "Where to start?" "Come one, Nanami, think, think!" "You know, most reporters who interview me... ask me at least one question." "Tell me, so, are you retiring, or aren't you?" "Oh, that was it..." "That's the last time you'll see me in an Iron Man armor." "At least untill the next time." "I think I know what your next question is." "It's what everyone wants to know sooner or later." "Oh, really?" "And what question is that?" "Does Tony Stark close his eyes when he kisses?" "I'll get out here, before you get another swing at me." "Hey, you still owe me an interview!" "I thought it might be a bug in the A.I. code." "But that's not it.." "What caused that flash of light I saw?" "Mr. Stark, I'm having the trainee team... run a full diagnostic test of Dio's armor." "Thank you, doctor." "Let me know the results immediately." " Okay, we're ready." " Ready." "There isn't anything wrong with it, as far as I can see." "Oh, maybe it's just to much machine for the old man." "Hey, what is it?" "What's the matter?" "What you do think it's going on?" "You're okay in there?" " He's targeting us." " What are you doing, Stop!" "Dr. Tanaka!" "What's going on?" "What just happened?" "I'm not sure." "All I can tell you is that the prototype... just attacked two of the trainees." "So that's it." " We've been compromised." " What?" "Compromised?" "Reprogrammed." "Somebody's hacked into the prototype's operating system... and taken it over." " How?" " I don't know." "I can't figure it out, It doesn't matter." "What matters now is they've got control of Dio." "It all started with the malfunctioning... and that strange flash of light." "Mr. Stark, it appears Dio is headed outside." "Don't let it out!" "Put the whole place on block-out!" "Understood, right away." "Close blocks 5 and 6!" "The blast doors aren't stopping it..." "It's approaching Block 7." "Slow it down, I'm on my way." "We'll hold it as long as can." "Close all blast doors and secure the perimeter!" "Well, my old friend.." "It looks like you and me have one last rodeo." "There you are." "Playtime's over." "Not bad." "But you're just a knock-off." "There's only one Iron Man." "Whoopsy, I hope I didn't go overboard." " Hey, buddy." " Impact imminent." " Iron Man." " That's me." " Who, you?" " I am Scorpio." "A worrior of the great Zodiac." " Zo.." "Zodiac?" " Yes." "Now, die." " I'm only the beginning." " All right, good looking." "Time to say goodnight." "What?" "The Dio armor, it's gone." "Well, So much for early retirement."
