Iron Man (2011) s01e03 Episode Script
Reap the Whirlwind
The water is rising And what all this wind? This is Arc Station's new security system.
It's an EMP device.
Looks like my eighth grade's science project.
Form is secondary to function, Mr.
Stark.
This EMP generator can release electromagnetic pulse that's capable of overloading any electronic device that fixes on.
Frying the circuitry on instance.
Well that's handy.
Breakin' into this place should be next to impossible now.
Sort of like getting you to smile.
- Let's forge ahead, shall we? - Oh We're still in beta, so it's a bit limited.
We expect to improve as the development moves forward.
Let's hope.
Hello? Dr.
Tanaka.
Thank god you're safe.
Professor? You sound troubled.
Is everything alright? No, everything isn't alright.
My life's in danger! They already got Professor Ono.
He wasn't enough careful! Professor? Can you hear me, sir? Professor Yamaguchi, please, say something! What happened? Professor? If you're not too busy to loosing up your competition, Nanami, perhaps you can squeeze a little work.
And you better not still sit around and eat! Actually, chief, you might wanna look at this.
Why? What is it? Meteorologist Satoshi Yamaguchi was killed by a tornado while driving.
And I care, why? Because there was a similar incident, just the other day, a local professor was killed by a freak tornado.
I think there's some sort of connection.
Control, requesting permission to land.
Over.
Roger.
You're clear for landing.
What a ? Earthquake? That's impossible! Hey guys, are you seing this? That can't be! A tornado! Class F4, maybe even F5! We haven't seen here a tornado that size before.
It'll be here any second! Do we evacuate? No.
It's too late! - That's can't be happening! - Look at that! It's Iron Man! Alright.
Initiate thermal sensors.
Monstrous tornado, huh? Super Oh look! Another mechanical thing.
I am Ares.
Warrior of the great Zodiac.
Well, that's something you don't see every day.
Unless you see me Professor Mikolai? Long time no see.
- May I? - Of course, Dr.
Tanaka.
- I trust you've been well.
- Yes, thank you.
- Checkmate.
- What? How, just a moment Looks like she's got you.
Yes, she did.
This young lady is a reporter.
- Her name is - Nanami Outa I dropped by to get the professor's opinion for a piece I'm writing.
It's about a string of recent tornados, there's a bit of a mystery, so I thought to come to an expert.
Well, you're gimme a bargain then? Wouldn't you say? Dr.
Tanaka here was one of my brightest, she was a brilliant meteorologist student.
That was years ago.
I'm sorry, not to be rude.
But, who are you again? Dr.
Chika Tanaka from Lab 23.
From Lab 23? Really? That's research and development lab associated with Stark Industries, isn't it? Is there any chance you know Stark himself? I work with him, I would't say I know him I've got something for you.
Okay.
Let's go to plan B? You can not defeat Zodiac.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
It's a little windy here.
Would you mind turning it down? So how about it? You think I can get your take on these tornados? And anything you can share about Mr.
Stark would, of course, be amazing - Which tablo are you with? - Oh actually, I'm with Tokyo Journal.
Precisly.
What do you think, Professor Mikolai? Are the deaths of professors Ono and Yamaguchi linked in any way? It's quite a coincidence.
Both met their end the same way.
What do you want me to say? That they're tied with a research withit? You want to know, that Tesla project is related to all this? - Am I right, Doctor Tanaka? - Wait, what's the Tesla project, Professor? It was a research iniative in weather manipulation.
We were exploring methods of disaster prevention.
Hurricanes and typhoons, and alike.
It was groundbreaking work.
We gathered together a team of experts.
People were working day and night.
But they pulled the plug oon the entire project, before we could perfect things.
But why? If they could done such good Japan runs by idiots.
That's why.
Everything, all our research was killed in the blink of an eye.
The bloody ignorants were too short-sighted, to see how revolutionary our findings truly were.
In later be recent tornadoes I'd say, the Tesla project isn't as dead as we thought.
Absurd.
Every scrap of reasearch data was sealed away.
What's going on? Professor.
Professor Mikolai! Professor! - Call an ambulance, quick! - Okay.
- I'll meet you back in the Arc Station.
- Yes, sir.
Damn.
- Well, if it isn't the famous Tony Stark? - And you are? Why don't you take your fancy car and get a hell out of our way, richboy? - We're trying to intend with injured.
- Hey, wait a second.
Look, is there anything I can do to help with out here? Sure, go ahead, throw some money around.
Thal will fix it.
Go home and be a better man, American.
Hey, where's that damned crane I asked for? Road conditions are really bad.
It's going to take longer to get here, sir.
Damned hell! I don't know how much longer we can wait.
It's dangerous here.
Please stay back! Let me thru.
I can help here.
Just let me thru.
I can't allow that, sir! Now step back! - Do we have a problem? - Yeah, I think we do have a problem.
I have the resources to help, and you guys don't let me thru.
This is nothing to do with you.
Get out of here.
Look, I get it.
Tony Stark is the bad guy.
You wanna hate me? Go ahead pal but you need more equipment here.
And I can get it for you.
You are weapon's dealer, you built your own empire on blood, we don't need help from a man like you.
- Listen to me, it was years ago - Save it! There is no way I'm entrusting these people's lives to you.
Now get lost! Doctor Tanaka, I've got a tip from source of mine.
A huge tornado just hit the U.
S.
military base.
I know you still think the Tesla project is behind it all.
Do you think you could give me little more backstory for my piece? But I You were little over the speed limit there.
Don't you ever quit? I'm tabloid girl, remember? We're pretty tenacious.
Pull it higher! Come on, we almost got it! Ok, ease off.
I'm not telling you again, you're in a way here.
Now clear out! No way.
I'm not leaving until the job's done.
Oh yeah? Until you Oh! They're still above water.
We gotta get them out! We need that equipment! Do you have an E.
T.
A.
? No, the road is still blocked with debris.
That will hold them up for a while.
No! It's going under! Get a rope over here! Hurry up, before it's too late! What? The current is too strong! You're out of your mind? - Are you okay? - Get a line and a life-proof circle, now! That's strange.
Someone opened up encrypted files recently.
But access is restricted to project members.
Where did they log in from? So, what exactly are we looking at here? If I'm gonna help, you need to fill me in.
Are you gonna say anything? Anything? What is the Tesla project, you were talking about earlier? Hello? We have combined Tesla's electromagnetic principles and the butterfly theory.
Thru sublation.
The project's aim was to turn the whole world into massive electromagnetic device.
A-ha? All clearly over your head, Miss Otta? That was your name, right? Frankly, there is no point to elaborate in someone of your sort.
Rude much? This email extension.
It's from Professor Mikolai's university.
The person who cracked this file open.
What's up? Who is it? - Professor? - Mikolai, what the hell you think you're doing? An organization approached me.
Willing to give my word the exposure it deserves.
Bearing it was like a death sentence! And Zodiac is offering me a second chance! - So the tornado at military base - I know, breathtaking, wasn't it? After all these years I was finally able to prove our high prophecies correct.
And it's all becoming reality.
You should be ashamed! Think about all lives you destroyed! - You delusional whackjob! - Professor, what are you thinking? You don't honestly believe, that Zodiac needs you any longer, do you? What difference does it make? I don't care what happens to me, as long my research lives on! - Look out! - You're not getting in my way! - Now is a chance! Come on! - Okay.
How about that, huh? Not too shavy to someone of my sort? Point taken.
You also won money you called him "delusional" back there.
He really is.
- Don't forget the part with "whackjob".
- You're right, little rough but absolutely right.
- Wow! - They are all okay! Guys, little help? Throw me a line.
Here, grab over this! How's my armor? Is in there that E.
P.
S.
system back online? Yes.
And I have something I like to show you.
- And this is ? - An improved version of our EMP device.
Only this is a full long cannon.
Doesn't matter on tech, if this thing fires on it, it'll shut it down.
I am impressed with quick update.
Any idea if it works or not? There's one possible issue.
It covers a wide area.
Your suit could be affected.
I'll keep trying to make your armor shielding up.
But it's going to take a little more time.
Trouble? Dr.
Tanaka, two F5 tornados just hit the Yokosuka base.
Time for round two.
That's Iron Man.
What are you doing! You have to evacuate! Spectacular! He's lost his mind! What if I tell you to keep your grabby hands to yourself? Let's take it down in ash! Oh no! Mr.
Stark! Try to reboot the system! Stark, can you hear me? Computer reboot.
Reboot iniciated.
System down in 30, 29, What is he ? Oh no.
Something is wrong! 10 seconds.
Dammit.
We're cut in a little close here! Oh no.
- 5, 4, - This is gonna hurt! 3, 2, 1 System reboot complete.
Damn! I'm good.
Guy's got guts! I'll keep on that.
I was close.
Another few seconds and you've been dinning alone tonight.
