"On the day Iron Man was born, I lost a friend of mine." "#4:" "A Twist of Memory, A Turn of Mind what makes an excellent weapon?" "One with a high-striking power and a versatility to be effective in any battlefield." "what I have here is, as it were, a mechanical Raptor that can dominate both the sea and the air." "Dominate both?" "I give you" "Stark Industries' next generation fighter jet, the Screamer!" "Pepper, we hooked a big one." "Never doubted it for a second." "Congratulations for your success." "Thanks." "Listen, I'm going straight to the next presentation." "I want you to touch base with them." "Roger that." "This guy's Tony Stark!" "Dead?" "No." "He's alive." "Good." "Bring him back to camp." "How much?" "How much do you want?" "You guys are gonna ransom me, right?" "what's your price for my safe return?" "I have some bad news and bad news, Mr. Stark." "First, you need medical help or you will die." "Not something I wanted to hear." "Second, it's not money I want." "Then what do you want from me?" "I want weapons." "Biological weapons, chemicals, everything." "You give them to me." "I'll spare your life." "Isn't that what you do, build killing machines?" "I guess I don't have much choice in the matter." "Good, we have a deal then." "Yinsen!" "See to his wounds." "Death merchant." "It'd be far better if you just died." "It has been five years..." "After a crash like that, you look unbelievably great, Mr. Kawashima." "Yeah, too bad, huh?" "It'd make a better story if I was dead." "No, a dead guy doesn't make for a very good interview." "I'll be fine and back on the track before you know it." "I'll get an exclusive when you make your comeback." "Sure thing." "You'll be the first." "That's great, right, Mr. Masuda?" "who said you can have his fruit?" "I'm sorry!" "That's a beautiful dress, Doctor." "You look truly stunning." "Of course, I'm not saying you wouldn't look stunning without the dress." "Do you mind if I ask you a question, Mr. Stark?" "why get into race cars?" "well, you know, thrills, speed, plus money for charity to boot." "which, of course, helps to improve the corporate image of Stark Industries." "You can be so cynical." "Our corporate image here is still merchants of death profiting from building weapons." "You want to win the hearts and minds of the Japanese public?" "Exactly." "I want to show them there's a human side to this company." "And sponsoring events like this helps do that." "And, of course, personally, I like fast cars." "So, it serves a dual purpose." "Transforming your company from a top weapons manufacturer to a promoter of world peace." "Quite a turnaround. what made you do it?" "Are we playing a game of 20 Questions?" "So in other words, you won't answer." "Five years ago, I was held prisoner by a group of terrorists." "And I met a man who changed my life forever." "what the hell are they thinking, making me build a weapon out of this junk?" "So, you're really going to give these thugs what they want?" "Thugs?" "Aren't you one of them, too?" "I'm their prisoner just as much as you are." "I'm useful, so they let me live." "So we're in the same boat." "If it means staying alive, then yes, I'm gonna give them what they want." "Even knowing that what you give them will help them commit genocide?" "Look, all I want to do is stay alive." "wake up!" "Haven't you ever wondered how many people were killed with the weapons you made?" "If that's the way you feel, then why the hell did you save my life?" "I didn't save your life." "I only postponed your death." "what's that supposed to mean?" "You only have a week left to live." "A week?" "That's how long you can expect the battery in that pacemaker to last." "Not a lot of time, but enough for you to regret all you've done." "As I felt death slowly approaching, I realized that I had spent my whole adult life creating ways to kill people, nothing more." "So I made a vow to myself that if I survived, I would devote my life to undoing the damage I'd done." "The chance of your comeback is next to nil." "I know how it feels when your dreams have been taken from you." "who the hell are you?" "Someone who can help you get back on the racetrack." "Great." "Runs like a charm." "I can't wait to show it to the public." "Are you going to drive it yourself then?" "Nanami. what brings you here?" "The interview." "That's right." "Should we get started?" "well, actually," "I'm here to interview the driver." "who would've ever thought he'd make a miraculous comeback?" "Seriously?" "You can get me back on the track?" "Of course, there's something we ask in return." "What is it?" "Name it!" "I'll do anything if I can race one more time!" "It's very simple." "Mr. Kawashima!" "You all right, Stark?" "Is that you, Logan?" "It's been a while, huh?" "what are you doing in Japan?" "I've got unfinished business." "No way!" "what the hell is going on?" "You'd spend your last precious hours of life building weapons to kill others." "You're either a fool or you're mad." "It's done." "what is it?" "I'm gonna need your help." "Can you put this in my chest?" "So that's what you've been working on, a new pacemaker." "Exactly." "If it works, it should keep my heart going for at least 100 years." "That's a bit of overkill, don't you think?" "It'll power a lot more than my heart." "I want no part of it." "If you ask me, you've lived far too long already." "If you help me, I can get us both out of here." "How do you plan to do that?" "This armor." "The Arc Reactor I just made will generate enough power to run it." "So, what do you say?" "I say that whether you live or die will be decided by a flip of a coin." "A coin?" "This coin once deflected a dagger, just enough to save my life." "So, you see, this is no ordinary coin." "The first thing I'm gonna do when I get outta here is take a hot shower and have a glass of chilled champagne." "If those are really your first wishes, I wasted my time saving your life." "The coin has spoken." "It can't be a mistake." "Destiny!" "That's what it is!" "Destiny..." "Do you really think it's destiny's way to give a second chance at life to a fool who has yet to realize his true calling?" "You don't like me much, do you?" "This was a beautiful and peaceful country." "But the likes of you showed up and destroyed everything." "what happened?" "Men blinded by greed." "They spread hatred and weapons." "They brought years of civil war to this land." "They cost me my family." "I'm sorry." "Spare me your pity." "Just get back to work." "Zodiac's been turning people into living weapons?" "They're transforming those with high physical ability to weapons and using them to assassinate VlPs." "The one who attacked you must be one of them." "Is that why you're here in Japan?" "Investigating Zodiac?" "No." "I was chasing A when I came upon this case." "I want you to leave this case to me." "what's on it?" "Intel I've dug up on your friend." "You'll find out where he is, too." "I owe you one." "Usually, I love it when ladies chase me." "But I'm a little busy today." "Can we reschedule?" "I know you're looking for Kawashima." "Take me with you." "No can do." "You saw what he did." "He's dangerous." "But..." "He's right!" "Get out of here before you get hurt." "My business is only with Tony Stark." "what's come over you?" "Your dream was to win a race and stand on the podium." "That's right." "The only way that dream comes true is by killing him." "You can't be serious." "I've got it from here." "Gentlemen, start your engines!" "Damn it!" "wake up!" "Zodiac is using you!" "Shut your mouth!" "No!" "The machine's taking him over!" "Fire!" "Mr." "Kawashima!" "He's still alive." "we can save him if we get him to Lab 23." "what's this?" "As quickly as you can." "Got it." "Leave it to me!" "Dio's headed this way." "You want me to stick around?" "No, this is my problem." "I'll take care of it." "Here we go." "Oh, no!" "Good." "Now divert power from the Arc Reactor into the armor." "Quickly." "It's started." "what's going on?" "what are you trying to do?" "You!" "Answer me!" "Yinsen!" "I'm all right." "But any moment now, there will be more guards pouring in here!" "we need more time." "I'll delay them!" "Come back!" "Yinsen, don't!" "Come on, hurry up!" "And to think, I was merciful enough to let you live." "Die!" "Yinsen!" "Hang on. we're getting out of here." "This is as far as I go." "You'll have to finish the journey without me." "Don't talk like that, don't you give up!" "I understand now why the armor had to be made." "The world needs you." "Take it, it belongs to you now." "Use your wealth and your knowledge to finish what we started." "Promise me." "How can you control Dio like that?" "who the hell are you?" "Impossible!" "You..." "Yinsen." "I'm so glad that Mr. Kawashima is getting better." "Thanks to Lab 23's technology, the rehab for his comeback is going well, too." "What?" "People are falling to the ground?" "Cause unknown?" "And the Arc Station is the source of infection?" "Next on Iron Man:" "Outbreak." "Save those people, Iron Man!" "Next Episode:" "#5:" "Outbreak"
