Iron Man Page #3

Synopsis: Tony Stark. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Son of legendary inventor and weapons contractor Howard Stark. When Tony Stark is assigned to give a weapons presentation to an Iraqi unit led by Lt. Col. James Rhodes, he's given a ride on enemy lines. That ride ends badly when Stark's Humvee that he's riding in is attacked by enemy combatants. He survives - barely - with a chest full of shrapnel and a car battery attached to his heart. In order to survive he comes up with a way to miniaturize the battery and figures out that the battery can power something else. Thus Iron Man is born. He uses the primitive device to escape from the cave in Iraq. Once back home, he then begins work on perfecting the Iron Man suit. But the man who was put in charge of Stark Industries has plans of his own to take over Tony's technology for other matters.

Or something big for 50 minutes.

This is our ticket outta here.

- What is it?

'Flying the mountain' look.

Impressive.

Shesh Besh.

Good roll.

Good roll.

You still didn't tell me

where you're from.

I'm from a small

town called Gulmira.

It's actually a nice place.

- You got a family?

- Yes.

And I will see them

when I leave here.

And you, Stark?

Nothing.

No.

So you're a man who has

everything... and nothing.

Doesn't look anything

like the photo.

Maybe he modified it.

- The tail doesn't seem right.

- Well, too bad.

Relax.

The bow and arrow once was the

pinacle of weapons technology.

It allowed the great Genghis Khan

to rule from the Pacific

to the Ukraine.

An empire twice the size

of Alexander the Great.

And four times the size

of the Roman empire.

But today,

whoever holds the latest

Stark weapons,

rules these lands.

And soon...

...it will be my turn.

Why did you fail me?

We're working on it.

Diligently.

I spared your life.

Is this how you repay me?

It's very complex.

We're trying hard.

On your knees.

You think I'm an idiot?

Tell me the truth.

We are working hard.

Open your mouth.

- What does he want?

- You think I'm a fool?

What is going on?

Tell me the truth.

We are working on Jericho.

What do you want,

a delivery date?

I need him.

He's a good assistant.

You have till tomorrow...

...to assemble my missile.

- Okay?

- Yes.

Can you move?

Say it again.

then 16 steps, left from

the door, four to the right.

Where is Stark?

He was here a moment ago.

Go find him!

Yinsen!

Yinsen!

Stark!

Say something.

He is speaking hungarian,

I don't...

- Speak hungarian.

- Okay...

What do you know?

- How did that work?

- Oh my goodness.

- It worked all right.

- What do I do?

- Let me finish this.

- Finish last powering sequence.

Okay.

Now! Tell me, tell me!

F 11. Tell me when you

see a progress bar.

It should be up right now.

Talk to me, tell me when

you see it. - I have it.

- Press Ctrl + I.

- Got it.

'Enter'. I, 'Enter'. Come over

here and button me up.

They are coming!

Doesn't need to look pretty,

just get it done.

They are coming.

Make sure that checkpoints are

clear before you follow me out, OK?

We need more time.

Okay.

I'm gonna go

buy you some time.

Stick to the plan!

Stick to the plan!

Yinsen!

- Yinsen!

- Watch out!

Stark.

Come on. We gotta go.

Move with me. C'mon, we got

a plan, we need to stick to it.

This was always the plan, Stark.

Come on, you're going to

go see your family again.

My family is dead.

I'm going to see them now, Stark.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I want this.

I want this.

Thank you for saving me.

Don't waste it.

Don't waste your life.

My turn.

Not bad.

How was the fun-vee?

Next time you ride with me, okay?

Watch it coming up here.

Are you kidding me with this?

Get rid of them.

Your eyes are red.

Few tears for your

long lost boss?

Tears of joy.

I hate job hunting.

Yeah, vacation's over.

Where to, sir?

Take us to the hospital, please.

- No. - No? Tony...

- You have to go to the hospital.

- I don't have to do anything.

I was in captivity for three months.

There are two things I want to do.

I want an American cheeseburger...

...and the other one...

- That's not going to happen.

It's not what you think. I want you

to call for a press conference now.

Call for a press conference?

What on earth for?

Yeah, Hogan, drive.

Cheeseburger first.

Look at this!

Tony!

I thought you'll be

in a hospital.

Look at you!

Oh, burger, you had

to have a burger.

Did you get me one of those?

There was only one left,

I needed it.

Hey, look who's here!

- Ms. Potts?

- Yes.

May I speak with you

for a moment?

I'm not part of the press conference,

but it's about to begin right now.

I am not a reporter.

I'm agent Phil Coulson,

with the Strategic

Homeland Intervention,

Enforcement and

Logistics Division.

- That's quite a mouthful.

- I know. We're working on it.

We've been approached

already by the DOD, FBI, CIA...

We are a separate division.

With a more specific focus.

We need to debrief Mr. Stark about

the circumstances of his escape.

- I'll put something in a book,

shell I? - Thank you.

Hey, would it be alright

if everyone sat down?

Will you sit down? That way

you can see me, and I can...

A little less formal...

What's up with the lovin'?

Don't look at me,

I don't know what he's up to.

- Good to see you.

- Good to see you.

I never got to say

goodbye to dad.

I never got to say

goodbye to my father.

There's questions that

I would've asked him.

I would've asked him how he felt

about what his company did...

...if he was conflicted,

if he ever had doubts.

Or maybe he was every inch of a man

we all remember from the newsreels.

I saw young Americans killed...

...by the very weapons I created

to defend them and protect them.

And I saw that I had

become part of a system

that is comfortable with

zero-accountability.

What happened over there?

I had my eyes opened.

I came to realize that

I have more to offer

this world than just making

things that blow up.

And that is why, effective

immediately, I'm shutting down

the weapons manufacturing

division of Stark International...

...untill such a time,

as I can decide

what the future of

this company will be,

what direction it should take,

the one I'm comfortable with,

and is consistant with the highest

good of this country and the world.

What we should

take away from this...

...is that Tony's back!

And he's healthier than ever.

We are gonna have a little

internal discussion

and we'll get back to

you with a follow-up.

- Where is he?

- He's inside.

That... that went well.

Did I just paint a target

on the back of my head?

Your head?

What about my head?

What do you think the over-under

on a stock drop is gonna be?

- Optimistically? 40 Points?

- At minimum.

Tony, we're a

weapons manufacturer.

Obie, I just... I don't want

the body count to be up...

That's what we do. We're iron

mongers, we make weapons.

My name is on facade

of the building.

What we do keeps the world

from falling into chaos.

Not based on what I saw.

We're not doing a

good enough job.

We can do better, we're

gonna do something else.

Oh, like what? You want us

to make baby bottles?

I think we should take another

look into Arc Reactor technology.

Oh, come on. The Arc Reactor,

that's a publicity stunt!

Tony, c'mon! We built that thing

to shut the hippies up!

- It works.

- Yeah, as a science project.

The Arc was never cost-effective.

We knew that before we built it.

Arc Reactor technology,

that's a dead end, right?

- Maybe.

- Am I right?

We haven't had a breakthrough

in that, in what... 30 years.

That's what they say.

Could you have a

lousier poker face?

Just tell me, who told you?

- Never mind who told me.

- Show me.

- Rhodey or Pepper.

- I wanna see it.

- Okay, Rhodey.

It works.

Listen to me, Tony.

We are a team,
