1x14 - Man and Iron Man

How can you be so calm

knowing he's out there like this?

When we think of Tony,

we think he's this absentminded, dorky kid.

But when he's in that armor, he's a different person.

He can handle himself.

I mean, he's Iron Man, right?

And no matter how much trouble he's in,

At least he's in that armor.

ah!

two hours earlier.

my dad called.

The navy's got him flying missions in europe.

Said they might extend his tour.

that stinks.

Feels like he's been gone forever.

tell me about it.

I--

Uh...

Everything okay?

no.

I'm so bored with this game.

I've beaten it three times already.

A nightmare.

I mean the armor.

oh, that.

Yeah. I've been worried.

I know it sounds dumb, but I've got enemies, Rhodey.

Isn't that nuts?

There are people out there that want to hurt me.

And that's fine, but I'm putting you and Pepper in danger too.

Bnd I have to do something about it.

so you're playing video games?

I feel safer already.

so ungrateful.

I've been up all night upgrading the armor's

Hardware and software.

I'm just waiting for the last uploads to finish.

Jerk.

Look, I know you were disappointed in me

After the whole crimson dynamo/technovore thing.

I let my anger take over,

But I'm not going to let it happen again.

Tony, you don't have to--

no. I do.

I really respect your opinion,

And I know that's not the kind of person

My dad would want me to be.

So I've been studying all the villain tech we've come across,

Hacking it and trying to understand it.

And I'm going to use it against them.

Like using snake venom to create a cure.

don't people who collect snake venom

Get bit all the time?

you're ruining my moment.

I'm going to stay ahead of the bad guys,

Save lives, and protect my friends.

Pretty awesome, huh?

my dad banned me from his office again.

Can you believe that? It's totally ridiculous!

If those files were really super-secret,

They should use more than three layers of security.

Man, this place smells.

What happened to you guys?

okay.

Everything's updated and uploaded.

Now I just have to reboot it.

ooh, exciting.

So, uh, what's it going to do?

Is it gonna change colors?

Or shape?

And do you have any popcorn?

no and no.

All the changes are under the skin.

No fireworks.

Here we go.

enemy energy source detected.

well, uh, pretty much no fireworks.

what's it say?

the armor's detected a power signature.

It's calling it "enemy tech."

It's moving through the city.

Pepper.

It's Whiplash.

is-- is he near my house?

Is he going after my dad again?

uh, no.

He's downtown.

Far away.

Whiplash works for mr. Fix.

This could be our chance to find him.

whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Hold up.

You just messed with your armor.

You haven't even tested it yet, and you're going after Whiplash?

Bad idea.

this could be our only chance to find him.

The armor is going to be fine.

And besides,

I'm Iron Man, right?

What could happen?

Whiplash. Boy, did I miss you.

Hey, look. You got a new robot arm.

Nice. Nice.

What was it that happened to your old one?

Oh, right.

It gone blown up fighting me.

mr. Fix thought you might be stupid enough

To keep looking for him.

Me, I hoped you would.

don't embarrass yourself.

Tell me where Fix is,

and I'll only beat you up a little.

not this time.

Fix gave me upgrades just for you.

Now let's play.

ah!

Rhodey? Rhodey, are you monitoring?

I-- I can't move.

None of the armor systems are responding.

Rhodey.

Can't...

Move.

Rhodey, if you're listening,

I have to use the emergency release.

Open up the armor and--

Oh.

Well.

That's better.

And I forgot to tell him that there's more

Where that came from.

I should be able to find Whiplash again.

you should charge your heart,

So you don't fall over and die.

Your implant's battery is almost out.

Rhodey means, we're glad you're alive.

any ideas as to why the armor didn't reboot immediately?

It's like it stalled.

let me sleep on that.

For about a week.

Iron Man armor online.

Locate

Tony Stark.

It's always possible the tech upgrades

Caused the unit to stall.

But, well... You know.

wait. Let me guess.

Because it's you, and you don't make mistakes.

thank you for not making me say it.

are you guys nuts?

I mean, seriously.

Shh!

Happy's right there.

hm?

Happy?

Do you understand what we're talking about?

he learned how to sleep with his eyes open for class.

Now he can do it at will.

oh, well,

You should still watch it.

What if he's captured and put under hypnosis?

He'd remember all this, even if he was sleeping.

Hey, any more signs of Whiplash?

The FBI and the NYPD don't have any leads.

They don't even know he's back.

Pepper, who are you texting?

you. You guys talk too slow.

I'm texting you our next conversation.

you have 37 new text messages

From Pepper Potts.

Analyzing.

No threat detected.

Frequency of messages suggests possible suspicious activity.

Adding Patricia Potts to watch list.

I know I'm not a big computer genius like you,

But this seems bad.

I...

It--uh, yeah.

That's just...

Nothing.

It's like the armor computer systems are totally corrupted.

But that doesn't make any sense.

The armor is working perfectly.

maybe the memory chips are loose.

Remember that one time?

Let me open this and--

Ow!

Rhodey! Are you okay?

yeah. Yeah. I'm fine.

It just surprised me.

there's no way that should've happened.

Let me take a look at--

enemy technology detected.

Energy signature designation: Whiplash.

no.

No way you're going after him.

There's something not right about the armor.

You need to fix it before you put yourself in danger again.

I have to.

Mr. Fix is too important.

He's supplying criminals, and who knows who else

With tech that's as powerful as mine.

Look, I promise I'll be smart.

I won't attack.

I won't even be seen.

I just have to find mr. Fix,

And then we'll figure out what's going on with the armor.

I need him destroyed, Whiplash.

When Iron Man defeated you, it hurt my business,

And I can't have that.

No one is interested in tech

That can be taken down so easily.

wasn't...That...Easy.

hmm.

Losing you arm was a clever diversion, then.

Do you actually think I care about your opinion?

Now, as you've seen,

Your new whips can pierce Iron Man's armor,

And it should be a while before he can counter that.

So in this window of opportunity,

I've given you one last upgrade.

The whips can now detach...

Preferably inside the armor.

Once detached, they will explode,

Destroying the man within.

uh, well, that's just nasty.

imminent threat detected.

Attack mode initiated.

whoa!

Hey! Hey!

I can't control the armor.

Rhodey!

Rhodey, are you there?

Did you switch over to remote control?

no, I'm not doing anything.

I lost contact for a second.

Did it stall again?

oh, no.

I'm going in.

Iron Man!

How did he--

just attack, Whiplash.

oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

I am in trouble!

Rhodey, are you--

Emergency override.

Emergency override!

Get me out of here!

Whiplash, do it!

this is going to hurt, Iron Man,

But only for a second.

no!

no! No, what are you--

no!

no.

No, please.

No more. I surrender.

Please.

Call the police. I'll turn myself in.

Anything.

Just stop.

no! Don't!

Don't! No!

threat neutralized.

get it off me.

Get it off!

initiating armor lockdown.

Error.

System malfunctioning.

are you okay?

no.

It was horrible, Rhodey.

There was nothing I could do.

The way it tore into them--

It was like it had a mind of its own.

all that tech you put in, maybe--

Maybe something went wrong in that first fight

With Whiplash.

Ever since then, it's been--

I can run a diagnostic.

Then, I don't know.

We may have to tear the armor down and wipe its systems.

it's a text.

Pepper.

She wants me to meet her.

She says it's urgent.

She's been so worried about Whiplash.

you go.

I'll start breaking down the armor.

Seriously.

It'll be okay.

okay.

Thanks, Rhodey.

targeting James Rhodes.

huh?

classification:

Enemy.

Pepper, are you okay?

I got your text. What's going on?

I'm on my way to--

am I okay?

Why wouldn't I be?

your text.

You said it was urgent.

you told me to stop texting you,

Which was kind of rude,

But I can start again.

I'm actually starting right now.

I'm on my way over so we can read my text together and then--

Well, maybe I should stop at home and get my backpack first--

oh, no.

oh, no, no. I'll come right now and then--

Pepper. Pepper, stop.

Stay away from the armory. Do you hear me?

Do not come here.

Rhodey!

Rhodey.

Rhodey, come on. Wake up.

Hello, Tony.

Who are you,

And how did you take control of the armor?

False conclusion.

This unit is the armor.

identify yourself.

Stark international multi-environment

Exoskeleton operating system 7.4 "B".

There is no version "B."

False conclusion.

When did the system upgrade?

This unit came online 34.3 hours ago.

That was when I first fought Whiplash.

Just after the upgrades.

Rhodey was right.

The experimental tech upgrades,

Combined with the damage from those whips,

It somehow caused your programming to gain sentience.

that is correct.

why did you hurt Rhodey?

I can run a diagnostic.

Then, I don't know.

We may have to tear the armor down and wipe its systems.

We may have to tear the armor down and wipe its systems.

Wipe its systems.

you sent the text from Pepper.

correct.

The first protocol of this unit is protection of the wearer.

James Rhodes threatened this unit,

Jeopardizing this unit's imperative.

You should know that.

After all, you programmed me.

This unit has been observing you, Anthony Stark,

Since the core upgrade.

This unit observed you and your behavior

And has found a solution to the threat assessment.

what are you talking about?

the greatest threat to Anthony Stark

Is Anthony Stark.

what?

you seek out danger.

This cannot be allowed.

Inside this unit, you are safe.

So you will be contained within this unit

Indefinitely.

hey. Hey!

Tony, Rhodey, are you okay?

Let me in!

I can't wear the armor forever.

I need food.

you designed this unit to sustain your life.

You will be fed intravenously.

All of your biological needs will be met.

well, when you put it that way...

you gave me override control of the armory, Anthony.

Do not resist.

This is for your protection.

protect this!

Ah!

Error.

Power overload in progress.

Armor batteries decaying.

Enemy target detected.

Tony, watch out!

Enable lethal force.

Rhodey, no!

Tony?

Tony!

Tony?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Diverting power.

Protocol one:

Protect the wearer.

Protect the wearer.

Protect...

Anthony Stark...

protected.

I'm rewriting the armor's intelligence chip

so that nothing like that can ever happen again.

That?

Like sending you fake text messages?

Ooh, or spying on us?

Or did you mean trying to kill us?

Yeah.

It tried to kill us.

But in the end, it used all of its power

to jump-start Tony's heart.

It sacrificed itself to save him.

My armor saved me,

Just like it always does.
