Iron Man: Armored Adventures (2008) s01e21 Episode Script
Designed Only for Chaos
You're getting worse, mr.
Parks.
All of the tests confirm my initial suspicions That since you first became the Living Laser, Your body has continued to evolve And that you're still transforming.
Unfortunately your light form is now destabilizing.
Wait a minute.
What are you saying? Whatever was holding you together isn't anymore, and I'm afraid it could be fatal.
No.
No! You have to help me! I'm afraid there's nothing more S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
can do for you.
But a civilian has come forward, Someone who's familiar with the equipment That first transformed you into the Living Laser.
He's offered to help.
Someone wants to help me? Who? Hey.
1x21 - Designed Only For Chaos Well.
I don't know if I feel safe or even more worried.
Stick with worried.
It'll keep you alive longer.
The Laser agreed to this, but if he tries anything, you run, got me? Mr.
Parks? My name is Tony Stark.
My father made the suit that did this to you.
I was on the helicarrier a while back And learned about your condition.
My dad's technology is causing it.
So your dad, He was some kind of crazy inventor? You could say that.
So this is his mess, and now it's my responsibility.
This isn't your dad's fault, kid.
It's Iron Man's.
What? Iron Man did this to me, not your dad.
No, that's not what-- Okay, that's it.
You're done for today.
Waste of time.
Well, I'm impressed.
The Laser tries to take you out, and you try to save his life.
I'm with general Fury on this one.
I mean, seriously, The Laser did try to burn a hole through you Twice.
On top of hijacking a space station And holding the world hostage.
But he wouldn't have been able to do any of that If my dad hadn't made the suit in the first place.
That's not fair, man.
Your dad had it locked away in his vault.
You know he'd never-- That's just it.
I don't know! I don't know anything about him anymore.
Sorry.
Look, I've got research to do.
Arthur, let me know if you can feel this.
You shouldn't.
It's just another spectrum analysis.
I'm finding traces of a mineral called kylite.
I think, that maybe what is causing All my life, people have stepped on me And called me useless.
But you're trying to save my life.
Why? Because you're not useless.
And your life is worth saving.
Thank you, Tony.
Did you do that? The helicarrier just went into full alert.
We have to get you out of here right now.
Actually, about five minutes ago would have been better.
Agent Hill!! Well, well, well.
Tony Stark.
Now, if this isn't just perfect.
Ghost, what are you doing here? I thought we had a deal.
You were paid.
Enough.
I'm not here for you, Stark.
I'm here for him.
Me? You see, the people who hired me to eliminate you Were a little upset when I took a better offer.
So now they're insisting I do this for them.
Oh, A.
I.
M.
has big plans for you.
A.
I.
M.
.
This may sting a little.
No! What did you do? I just made him easier to carry.
Huh.
I think I can hear him screaming in there.
This ship is filled with hundreds of S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
agents, Not to mention you're a few miles up in the air.
How do you plan to get out of here? Oh, I think S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
is going to be a little too busy To worry about me.
That was the sound Of the helicarrier's engines going dead.
See you around, Stark.
Or maybe not.
Do you hear me, engineering? I need this thing back up in the sky right now! General, this isn't an engine failure.
Something external is keeping them shut down.
Ghost! You're persistent, I'll give you that.
So are you going to try and take the Laser Or save the ship? You choose, Stark.
Sir, engines are back online.
Pull up! Arthur.
What? Where am I? The Living Laser.
Welcome to A.
I.
M.
We've been waiting for you.
What do you want with me? A.
I.
M.
has determined that your unique energy signature Is the perfect power source To bring our greatest creation to life: M.
O.
D.
O.
C.
No, you don't understand.
I have to get back to S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
.
My life depends on it.
Oh, no.
You misunderstand.
We don't expect you to survive.
Rhodey! Rhodey, where are you? We've got a big Problem.
Uh, hi.
Hi? Tony, when are you going to stop avoiding me? What? I'm not, I've just been-- Let me guess.
Busy.
School stuff.
Lab stuff.
All of the above? Tony, you've been disappearing after school, and not to your lab.
So why don't you tell me what's going on? We've been-- I wasn't asking you, James.
I-I've been working on one of my dad's old projects.
I'm sorry, it's just been taking up a lot of my spare time.
We'll talk, I promise.
I just really need to get back to that project.
Okay.
But, Tony, I want you to know that you can trust me.
You can tell me anything.
I don't understand why you didn't just tell her.
I can't.
Do you know how smart your mom is? Scary smart.
The more of this kind of thing she's aware of, The sooner she's going to put it together that I'm Iron Man.
And then it's all over.
Come on, you're-- Rhodey, I just can't deal with it right now.
I've got to find the Living Laser.
Fine, but you're being-- Wait.
Find the Living Laser? Isn't he in S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
custody? He was.
A.
I.
M.
took him.
But I think I can track the Laser's energy signature Right to them.
Science is everything.
And M.

A mental organism designed only for conquest, M.
O.

Give me a break.

O.
C.

And handsome.
I mean really, with all your super science, You couldn't make it look a little less ugly? M.
O.
D.
O.
C.
will have power beyond anything man has ever seen.
His very mind is a weapon! All we need now is the energy to bring him to life.
Please don't do this.
I'll do anything you want, just don't hurt me.
You should be honored to give your life for science, For something bigger than yourself.

No! Get out of my head! Unacceptable.
Can't be-- That can't be Tony? Tony can't be Iron Man.
Tony tried to help me.
Tony tried to save my life, not Iron Man.
He-- Surrender now, and I'll make sure you get medical help.
Listen to me.
You need help.
The energy from the equipment you were using has changed you.
It could be fatal.
Laser.
Parks, right? Arthur Parks? What are you doing? You just want to take me out? Then what? He was trying to help me.
Continue to resist, and I will destroy your friends, Your family, Everyone and everything you've ever cared about.
I won't let you.
Then you will be destroyed along with them.
Guess what, freak? They used me to give you life.
I'm betting I can take it away too.
Uh, Tony? Where are you-- You may not have a mind to access in your energy form, But you can still be hurt.
Computer, give me direct access To S.

If you want your prisoner back, trace my signal right now.

Now you will suffer in ways you cannot imagine.

Now! Arthur.
My armor will only protect me for a few minutes, But his mind blasts can't hurt you! Come on, you've got to have a weakness.
You have both outlived your usefulness to A.
I.
M.

You wanted a piece of me, ugly? Well, here you go!! No! No! Error! System core failing! External processors and memory compromised.
Arthur! Failing.

All my life, I was a nobody.
Then I get this power, And I use it to try and hurt you, The one guy who wanted to help me.
But you saved me, Arthur.
Yeah.
Imagine that.
I'm the guy who saved Iron Man.
Iron Man! Where is he? Where's the Laser? He's gone.
Tony.
Roberta, I-- Tony, your father chose me to look over you.
I want to be there for you, to help you, But you have to let me in.
I can't.
Tony, I know everything.
You do? Yes.
I know you've been going to work at S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
, Trying to help that man.
I know, because I gave S.
H.
I.
E.
L.
D.
permission to let you.
I also know you found out your dad made weapons for them, And I know you're taking it badly.
How am I supposed to take it? He lied to me, all my life.
Everything he ever told me about helping people, About the evil of weapons, About using our genius to better people's lives, It's all lies! He made weapons, and he never told me! Look at me, Tony.
Do you know when Howard gave up the weapons business? The day you were born.
He nearly destroyed his company doing it and spent the rest of his life creating things to help people, not hurt them.
He spent the rest of his life trying to be someone his son could be proud of.
And I know that wherever your father is, he's proud of you.
Thank you.
