Pepper, Interrupted
I must speak with the Mandarin.
He's indisposed.
Give me your message.
I'll make sure he gets it.
This is Tong business for the Mandarin's ears, not children's.
Fair enough.
You dare disrespect my stepson? He is the last of the khans, And he will be honored.
Mandarin, I apologize.
Please, I--I have to speak with you.
But you have been so absent.
Speak.
My lord, please forgive me.
The Tong is crumbling from within.
You have been so focused on finding the remaining Makluan rings.
Without your leadership, Maggia is expanding into Tong territory.
Your actions against the Maggia leadership had only made the situation worse.
You are creating a war, neither side can win.
Lord Mandarin, there is tag among the Tong of rebellion unless a treaty can be made.
Leave with your life.
Tell the Tong that the Mandarin will deal with the Maggia.
Come on.
Hurry up.
Oh, crad.
Tell count Nefaria that I wish to meet with him tomorrow at night Tell him that Mandarin wishes to talk, please.

1x18 - Pepper, Interrupted Whitney, psst.
Whitney, behind you.
- Rhodey, did you hear something? - No.
What? I am right here.
Whitney, do you want to grab a burger later? I am kind of hungry.
Rhodey, do you want to grab a bite to eat later? - Sure, good idea.
- What? Still no look at the old map, what Rhodey found.
I've got hooked up to like seven computers.
But nothing.
Interesting.
The map from the chamber of wisdom was far less complicated.
Perhaps access of Makluan rings will be more difficult to find.
You mean more difficult than burried under a glacier? Oh, did you think those were difficult? Sorry, this is *ackward.
What ever you say auch.
That was classic.
- Pepper what was that for? - Like you don't know.
Pepper, shh.
Don't you start, Rhodey.
Sitting over there, flirting with her.
Hey.
How could you not tell me about her? How could you prefer Whitney over me? Oh I see, it all make sense now.
You're having a lover's *spat.
You take that back.
Pepper, stop.
Oh, let her go, Stark.
You're ruining everything.
Get 'em, Pepper.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's it.
You're dead meat, groupie.
Whitney, please.
Out.
Principal's office, All of you now.
I've never had a detention in my life.
Oh, man, my mom's gonna kill me.
Pepper's gone seriously nuts.
I mean, what was that? I know she's mad at me, but she got us all detention.
And we have to do an extra report for social studies.
Oh, what do you care? You got paired up with whitney.
I have to work with happy.
And Pepper got-- Gene.
Oh, will you just wait? No, and thank you for the detention, by the way.
Look, I don't like this any more than you, But we have to do this report tonight.
Oh, it's due first period tomorrow.
I'm very busy tonight.
So let me know how it goes.
Good-bye, Pepper.
Pepper.
Don't.
I'm trying really hard To be the bigger person about this, The lies about whitney, choosing Gene over us.
But right now, just give me some space.
It is a simple question.
You will either answer it, or you will not.
Count Nefaria runs the Maggia, The Maggia threatens the Tong, And thus, he's a threat to me.
And if something happens to me, No one will ever find you down here.
So are you gonna tell me about him or not.
The true Mandarin would take the answers from me.
Pepper.
She's calling now.
Wonderful.
And texting me? Pepper, enough! I told you that I can't work on the paper tonight.
Just let it go.
- I don't care about the paper.
- What? I know that you and Tony are friends And that I've been really rude to you.
I've said some mean things, and, uh, I'm sorry.
Uh, good? I don't want to lose Tony as a friend, And I see how he's growing closer to you and whitney.
I just I was just hoping that we could put everything behind us And maybe be friends, Even if it means flunking social studies.
Okay, I'll help.
But it has to be fast and not here.
This is where you nerds live? Because this is awesome.
Can I move in? We actually live in the house across the grounds.
So happy, is there any chance you're gonna help me with this? No.
Dude, you're drooling.
Shut up.
Good to know the whole super villainous thing Doesn't faze you.
Shut up.
I wonder how Pepper's doing with Gene? Hopefully they won't kill each other.
Which of course ended badly.
That is hysterical.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, that reminds me of this one time I got a guy deported for espionage.
Sorry to interrupt.
I have to run home for a minute.
I have to meet with one of my stepfather's business partners.
For what? Business.
Well, I'll come with you.
Pepper, relax.
I'm not gonna bail on you.
I'll be back.
Wow, he's fast.
the Maggia.
I should Where is he? Where is the Mandarin? You're late.
This meeting begins when I say it does, Nefaria.
Hmm, amusing.
Shall we begin negotiations, Or would you like to try intimidating me again? Count Nefaria, We found someone snooping around the meeting site.
I know this girl.
What is your son's friend doing here? This is the daughter of an FBI agent.
What kind of a game are you playing, Mandarin? Step-son.
And the Mandarin does not play games, unlike you, count.
Do not attempt to blackmail me.
I will not allow some child to be used against the Tong.
You have targeted my stepson in the past and pushed us into this war.
Is this what you want? Is this how the Maggia broke a peace? Very well.
We proceed with the meeting, And I will find out what the girl knows afterwards.
And then I will deal with her permanently.
Lock her up.
Fine.
But I must consider this new development.
Pepper, you idiot.
What exactly does Nefaria knows about the Mandarin? Has he ever seen you without the armor? What does that matter? Have you not crushed him by now? No? But you are the true Mandarin and I am just a brand instrument.
Ahhh.
I have to save Pepper.
But I can't.
The Maggia and the Tongs will expect something.
I need someone else to save her.
Someone, who is enemy to both, the Tong and the Maggia.
You want the Makluan rings, iron man? Then come and get them.
Alert.
Makluan energy signature detected.
Ow.
Oh.
Great, they took my phone.
That's okay.
No big deal.
I'm not in trouble yet.
Ok, now I am.
Why am I the only one working on this? Because, you are a huge nerd.
Come on Rhodey, if you forever punish with the science paper, I'll make it up to you.
Besides, you loves social studies.
It's your thing.
Please, Rhodey.
Oh, you guys stink.
Ah Tony, your phone is ringing.
Is it Pepper? I wonder how her big date is going.
It's It's Rhodey's mom.
She is checking on us.
Hey, why don't we take a break? We can head over the house and grab something to eat.
I want nachos.
And pizza.
And birthday cake.
I I'll meet you guys over there, ok.
I have to use the bathroom.
Oh, there is a shocker.
Let us proceed.
You have tried my patience, Mandarin.
Shark, do not understand? Is the Mandarin trying to start the war? Agh agh, stupid Tony and Rhodey and all that.
And stupid Gene and stupid Maggia and weird stupid ninjas and the Mandarin.
Oh stupid me.
Heh heh.
The Maggia would not lay down for you, your magic or these games.
The Maggia crime family rules Europe.
And our presence in new world is inevitable.
And less we count on some agreement.
If a diversion is in territories then there will be a war.
Such an agreement would be temporary a best.
You obviously want a war.
But I not confident you can win.
So you come to make a false peace.
If I wanted a war, the Black Knight would stand over your body right now.
And if you are so confident to victory, why did you agree to this? Black Knight, bring me the girl.
Ahhh! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.
Give her.
Mandarin, what are you I am interrupting something or Oh, whoa.
Okay, whatever's going on here, You should all just give up now before someone gets-- Ah! Hurt.
Listen, sir mix-a-lot.
I don't want to hurt-- Uh, are you calling a time-out? Ah! The Maggia has sent iron man to destroy us.
Tong, attack! What? That is ridiculous.
The Black Knight is-- Okay, think fast.
Make a decision.
Go.
Ah! Oh, come on.
Rockets? Iron man, you useless fool.
You were supposed to rescue Pepper, Not waste time with the Maggia.
Fine, I'll do it myself.
Bring me that girl.
She's important to the Mandarin or to iron man.
And either way, I want her.
What's happening down there? What's the Maggia's connection to the Mandarin? Ah! Come on, Pepper.
Where are you? Oh.
Oh, there you are.
I have -- Count Nefaria, the police are coming.
We can't stay.
Just bring me that girl.
Nefaria.
Gene.
Hey.
Ah! Get out of here.
Come on.
We got to book.
Tong, disappear.
Whoosh! Pepper? Uh--uh, ms.
Potts? So does someone care to explain to me what that was all about? Gene saved me from the Maggia and ninjas.
He's my hero.
Yeah, well, uh, you were in trouble.
Anyone would have done the same.
Yeah, if they'd been there.
Okay, I'll check the police report, I guess.
So you two kids stay out of trouble.
We'll do that.
Sir, where is the Mandarin? He--he left us.
Not, the question is not where the Mandarin is.
The question is who the Mandarin is.
Because this man, that we followed few last months, this man is NOT the Mandarin.
He's indisposed.
Give me your message.
I'll make sure he gets it.
This is Tong business for the Mandarin's ears, not children's.
