Original subtitles

Ow.

That's not possible.

I'm the Living Laser.

You can't touch me!

You've got no ambition,

No ability, and nothing to offer.

You're worthless, arthur.

I'm embarrassed to call you my son.

I don't know why the maggia took you in.

You're an idiot, Parks.

You're never gonna go anywhere,

And you're never gonna be anyone.

You have the ability to turn yourself into a laser,

And the best you can come up with is robbing a bank?

That's sad.

No, no.

No!

What?

What's going on?

Where's Iron Man?

Where--

Oh, no. Oh, no.

I have to--

I have to get out of here.

I have to get home.

I-I have to--

No!

What?

Whoa.

1x16 - FUN WITH LASERS

S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, do you copy?

This is S.H.I.E.L.D. orbital station,

Distress code 0221.

I repeat, this is agent abigail brand on the S.H.I.E.L.D.--

Don't bother, brand.

Station systems are still rebooting.

Whatever that thing was, it fried everything on the way out.

It wasn't a thing, corbeaux.

It was a man, a man called the living...

Laser.

Ah!

I don't know who you people are.

I don't know what happened

Or how I'm even alive.

But whatever this thing is,

It just turned me into the most powerful weapon on the planet.

So now it's mine.

And you two, you two are going to tell everyone

That I'm holding the whole world hostage.

What are your demands?

Huh?

What do you want?

I mean, if you're holding the world hostage,

What do you want in exchange?

I don't...

This isn't complicated.

Do you want money, power?

Is this political?

Hey, be quiet!

Let me think!

You're worthless, arthur.

You're an idiot, Parks.

You've got no ambition.

You're never gonna be anything.

That's sad.

I know something I want,

Someone.

Hi, guys.

Have you been standing there long?

I'm just, you know, working.

You're working it, all right.

Good thing you saw us

Before you started break dancing or something.

Oh, tony, you are so, so...

Cool?

Blackmail-able.

Seriously, I wish I had a video camera.

I'd be rich!

I don't know if you remember,

But you were supposed to meet us for lunch

Like two weeks ago.

What have you been doing in here?

Ooh, is it an Iron Man thing?

Did you invent a new suit of armor?

Is this like uh, uh, a hyper drive or something?

It's a chip that goes in your brain to replace cell phones.

I just woke up with 100 ideas for inventions,

And I've been hammering out prototypes.

My dad and I used to do this all the time.

That's great, man.

I remember having to bring you guys food,

You got so wrapped up in your work.

Nice to see you having fun

Instead of getting beat up by super villains.

Eh, like that's not fun.

I'm kidding.

But seriously, these inventions are great and all,

But you're Iron Man.

You help people and save lives.

If it was me, I'd never get out of the armor.

He's not a policeman, Pepper.

He's an inventor.

He's not supposed to be prowling the streets out on patrol.

What are you talking about?

He's a superhero.

This city would be toast without him.

Of course he should be out there.

Do you want him to get--

Whoa, hey, do I get any say in this?

No.

Okay, what do you want to be,

An inventor or a superhero?

I... I don't--

Hi, dad. Do you need me in the field?

Just say the word and...

And... What?

You're going to put that in someone's head?

I was hoping you'd volunteer.

Thanks.

I just need you to sign some releases.

Dad, are you...

Yeah, I know.

I promise.

I will.

Okay. I love you.

Is everything okay?

The inventor versus superhero argument just became moot.

You definitely don't want to be Iron Man today.

In orbit around the earth,

Now a weapon in the hands of a mad--

Completely destroying the island.

The Living Laser had previously fought Iron Man.

S.H.I.E.L.D. informed the fbi an hour ago,

And then the media got a hold of it.

Nobody knows that he's made a demand.

He wants Iron Man

Or else he does to new york what he did to that island.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm the only one who even has a chance of stopping him.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how are you gonna stop him?

He's up in, you know, space.

I guess I'll just have to meet him up there.

Trajectory locked.

Once I hit the stratosphere, things are gonna get bumpy,

So I might lose you.

Are you sure about this?

You don't sound so confident.

No, I'm fine.

I designed the Iron Man armor to handle any environment,

Even the temperature and vacuum of space.

But it's just, well, it's space.

And in space, no one can hear you...

Iron Man, general Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D.,

Would like to have a word with you.

Tell him to make an appointment.

I'm a little busy right now.

Ah!

It's not a request.

This is about the Living Laser.

This is so awesome!

And unfair.

You're going to meet Nick Fury.

Oh, you're living my dream.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier is the nerve center

Of the entire strategic hazard intervention--

I get it.

It's big.

I'll take pictures.

General Fury,

It's an honor.

I've heard a lot about you

And hoped we've be able to work together...

Uh...One day.

I really admire the work S.H.I.E.L.D. does, and...

Is there some kind of problem?

You might say that.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been watching you

Since the first moment you popped up, Iron Man,

And not because we're excited to work with you.

Then why...

In case we ever have to take you down.

And the reason you're here right now

Is to keep you out of the way.

Out of the way of what?

Me.

Fury to S.H.I.E.L.D. space force.

Commence your run.

Get the scientists out and take the laser down.

You're sending people up there?

Are you insane?

They'll be wiped out.

You don't know what the laser's capable of.

You have to call them back.

If you know what's good for you,

You'll stand down,

Because as of right now,

Both the Living Laser and Iron Man

Are under S.H.I.E.L.D. jurisdiction.

Don't do this, Fury.

The Living Laser isn't human anymore.

The power he wields, it's too much.

I barely survived fighting him.

You're not S.H.I.E.L.D.

I warned them.

I repeat, total destruction of the S.H.I.E.L.D. space force.

This is a priority one distress call.

If you can hear me--

I want search and recovery teams

Launching yesterday, people.

Do you hear me? I want--

Where do you think you're going?

Now, if you don't mind,

I'm gonna go save lives.

That could've gone better.

I don't think I have a future as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

No kidding.

Nick Fury is a jerk.

Maybe you just caught him on a bad day.

I think every day is a bad day for that guy.

So what's your plan?

Are you...

Warning, the armory communications channels

Are being traced.

Whoa, whoa.

Someone's hacking in to the comm signal.

I'm disconnecting.

Don't use this line again.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. shows up here,

I had nothing to do with this.

Computer, bounce the signal back

And connect me to the trace source.

Connecting.

You hear me, stand down right now.

Fury?

Stay out of this, Iron Man.

I have everything under control.

Are you serious?

The laser almost took out your entire squad.

He's got your scientists up there.

He's holding the world hostage.

He's in control not you.

But you just-- no.

I'm giving the laser what he wants, me.

Okay, that is pretty cool.

Beep!

Airlock doors sealed.

Restoring oxygen.

Rhodey, Pepper, this is a secure channel now.

I'm in.

And I'm seriously creeped out.

Hang on.

There's another door.

Beep!

My name is Iron Man.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I'm here to--

Save you?

Uh!

You called me sad.

Well, look who's sad now.

Computer, alter frequency to match target.

Altering.

Error.

Target frequency changing.

That tickles.

I figured out how to change so you can't hurt me, Iron Man.

But I can hurt you.

Space armor shielding failure. 84% remaining.

Tony, get out of there!

Uh!

Shielding at 64%.

I'll burn that armor off you piece by piece if I have to.

Uh!

Shielding at 41%.

Warning.

Tony!

You have to move now!

Uh.

Boom!

Uh, okay.

I'm starting to think coming here may have been a mistake.

I don't know how much longer my armor's gonna hold out.

Tony, I don't want to add to your problems,

But S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trying to hack the line again.

Great.

Computer, connect with the intruding signal.

Fury, will you just back off?

I've got big problems up here.

Your problem is that you're wasting time.

Quit standing around.

Get to brand and corbeaux and get out of there.

Wait a minute.

Are you watching me?

Our head shrinks told me you were smart.

Now listen up, shell head.

In less than 20 minutes,

That big telescope is gonna be in range of new york city.

The Living Laser will be able to fire on a city

With millions of people.

And I can't allow that.

If you don't take down the laser before that,

I'll destroy the station.

You-- you can't.

You have people on board here, your people, Fury.

They're S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

They knew the risks,

Just like they both know that the station is armed

With enough explosives to do the job.

19 minutes.

Fury out.

Emergency.

Massive armor failure.

Internal oxygen reserves falling.

You think you're better than me?

Where are the smart remarks now?

Laser.

Parks, right? Arthur Parks?

What are you doing?

You just want to take me out?

Then what?

Surely you can't be so petty to put millions of lives at risk

Just for revenge.

Watch me.

The maggia, my mother, they called me useless,

Worthless.

And now the whole world's gonna know

That I'm calling the shots.

Destroy new york.

That'll send a message.

But hurting you,

That's personal.

Fatal temperature drop.

Preserving internal temperature and oxygen.

Note, you have 93 seconds of oxygen remaining.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Rhodey, Rhodey.

Rhodey!

What-- what are we supposed to do?

Tony, don't panic.

Do you hear me?

Don't freak out. Don't even talk.

It'll use up your air.

Oh, no. You'll suffocate.

That's, like, the worst way to go.

Your lungs will feel like they're exploding.

You'll get brain damage, and then--

Pepper, stop helping!

Tony, just relax and get back to the station.

41 seconds of oxygen remaining.

29 seconds of oxygen remaining.

No!

You'll cause the entire station to lose oxygen.

You have to find another way in.

Emergency.

Seven seconds of oxygen remaining.

Six, five...

Be quiet, armor.

We get it already!

0% oxygen remaining.

User death imminent.

You're doing a lousy job of saving us, by the way.

You have to have an escape pod or a spare shuttle or something.

We did.

It was in the hanger, which you destroyed.

Incoming communication.

You have 11 minutes.

These are your people I'm trying to save here, Fury,

And I'm not giving up.

Call me back in 12 minutes.

Let me guess,

Fury's activating the self-destruct.

Your boss is a real piece of work.

Look, there has to be some way to stop the Living Laser.

My weapons aren't working,

And the only mirror I found on the station

Got sucked out into space.

There's another mirror, inside the telescope.

You're kidding.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s interstellar telescope uses a mirror?

The telescope is powered

By collecting ambient energy from space.

That's what must've pulled the laser in in the first place.

But it's still a telescope,

Just with a really high-tech mirror.

You've got less than ten minutes

To tell me everything you know about that telescope.

Okay, brand, cover corbeaux as he works the control panel.

I'll keep an eye out--

Uh!

Oh!

Hey, what are you so happy about?

You'll find out in about six minutes.

Ah!

Any last words?

Tony, insult his mom.

Pepper, now may not be the time.

No, really.

This guy has serious issues.

Use it. Push him.

Wow, you are pathetic.

Everything your mom said about you, true.

No wonder the maggia didn't want you.

And do you really expect me to believe

You're gonna destroy new york?

No, not you.

It's too big for you.

Arthur Parks is a nobody,

And he always will be.

Ah!

Uh.

New york's going to burn,

And I'm gonna make you watch.

And then I'll do another city and another.

And it will all be on you, Iron Man.

Corbeaux, brand, get to the controls.

Uh.

Orbital platform in range in 72 seconds.

Come on.

Come on.

Uh.

Override S.H.I.E.L.D. systems.

Recalibrate telescope optics.

Accessing.

Recalibrating.

Now you all pay.

No.

No, you can't do this.

You can't stop me.

I'm the Living Laser.

Do you hear me?

I'm the Living Laser!

Iron Man!

Iron Man to Nick Fury.

The Living Laser is secure.

Now do me a favor and don't blow us up.

Fury?

Fury?

You had 1.7 seconds to spare,

In case you were wondering.

Will keep him here.

No normal jail can hold him,

So he'll spend the rest of his days on the helicarrier.

I don't think he even wanted to hurt anyone.

I actually feel bad for him.

Well, that makes one of us.

So were you really gonna blow up the station,

Or was that just some tough-guy act?

The only doubt I had was whether or not

To push the button early.

What is your problem?

This isn't fun and games.

And just because you cleaned up this mess,

It doesn't make you a hero.

I only want to help.

I could work with S.H.I.E.L.D.

We could do-- stop.

Here's a piece of advice.

Quit while you're ahead.

You've had your fun, now leave it to the pros.

Right now, you're a loose cannon in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s eyes.

You just better make sure you keep doing more good than harm,

Because the minute you mess up, we'll take you down...

For good.

Oh, I wasn't worried at all, by the way.

It's true.

The crying and screaming, that's pretty normal for her.

Come on, Pepper.

Let's give tony some space.

Sorry.
