01x12 - Endgame

[bunniefuu]

I found out...

Who's behind this whole thing...

Minister Kuroda.

Yeah... The old man's one of them.

He's Zodiac.

Tony… I'm done.

- That's it.
- What!

No! Hang in there!

Sakurai. Signing off.

Sakurai? Sakurai!!

My fellow countrymen, all is well.

As the only surviving
member of the Diet,

it has fallen to me to keep the
great nation of Japan on course.

And I will.

Our courage will help us to endure

and Japan shall be reborn.

My people, I ask for your patience.

As public safety is essential,

certain measures must be employed

to maintain order and peace.

Martial law will temporarily
be put into place.

This is so messed up.
We've been through enough.

- When will this stuff end?!
- I know...

Soon now…

My vision for Japan
will become a reality.

- What?
- Minister!

We've received an urgent message!

From the US government.

Go on-read it.

The expulsion of our diplomats
from Japan is unacceptable.

And the continued Barricading
our military bases

may result in the use of force.

- Grand standing.
- Sir!

Ignoring this ultimatum
could mean trouble.

They could deploy military forces!

It's time for us to stand up.

We have to show them they
have no authority in Japan.

Sakurai.
Where are you?

- Tony?
- Chika?

It's good to hear your voice.

It's great hearing yours.
I'm glad you're safe.

Come meet me.

I'll be waiting for you
at the lighthouse. Alright?

This about the siphoned energy?

- Yes.
- Copy that.

I'm headed to the Arc Station.

All Personnel! Red Alert!

Unidentified Hostile Approaching!
Man your stations!

Chika? Is everything alright?

Like I told you during
the hostage crisis,

someone seems to have seriously
compromised the Arc reactor.

I know, you said there was no
hacker but what if it was Yinsen?

No. It's wasn't him.

It was untouched.

Security protocols
were never breached.

The system worked.

I'm the only one who failed.

What exactly are you
trying to tell me, Chika?

I'm not in control of myself.

The other day, I blacked out
while sitting at the computer.

Wait a minute.

This doesn't make any sense at all.

You blacked out and
reprogrammed the system?!

I'm not sure.

But…
I think, I did it...

I'm the only one who could've
made those changes to the code.

Are you listening to yourself?
You never would have done that.

Chika! Stop! Stop!

- Please wait, listen to me!
- No! Don't come any closer!

This is the only solution
that makes sense!

Tony, I won't help to
destroy what you've created!

Chika, we can figure
this out… together.

I'm sorry! If I helped
Zodiac I can't live with myself!

All this time, I thought we were
building something to help mankind.

How could I betray you?

Betray me? Look,
you didn't betray anyone. You...

What the hell was that?

I have no idea.

That's the US Airbase.

It's Zodiac!

Who the hell are you?!

You haven't figured it out yet?

Kuroda! You son of a b*tch!

You're not gonna
get away with this!

Bold statement, Mr. Stark.

Coming from a wanted
man such as yourself.

What's the point of all this?
Haven't you destroyed enough?

I do what must be done
for the greater good of japan.

I have no naive fantasy of what people
will do if I paid their light bill.

I operate in truth.

And Doctor Tanaka has
been such a great help.

You poisoned her mind.

She never would have helped you!

So predictable.

I knew you couldn't
resist a pretty face.

How amusing watching
you fall to your own weakness.

Chika? no!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Aaaaahhhhhh!!

What have you done to her?!

I wish, I had time to watch
you two “take care” of each other.

But the new Japan requires
my full attention.

Chika, are you okay?

Damn! I need to
snap her out of this.

Nanami, you're going the wrong way!

The chief just assigned us to go
cover the devastation at the base!

I heard him. He's just
not seeing the whole picture.

But I am! That thing that
destroyed the base looked Zodiac!

You think so?

We have to find Tony Stark!

He's the key! And he'll
tell us what's really going on!

But how?! We'll never find him?
He could be anywhere!

“Huh?!”

It's him!

Stop this, Chika! It's me! C'mon!-

I won't do it. I won't fight you!
I can't!

Listen to me!

Ahhh!

Chika! Snap out of it!

You must… remember who you are!

Here. Look in my eyes!
It's me! It's Tony!

I know, you're in there.
Just give me a sign!

That's it, Doc!
Keep… fighting!

Doc! It's you.
You came back!

To-Tony…

It's okay, you're all right.

What am I?!

Oh no, Tony!

What have I done?!

Nothing…Nothing we
can't work through together.

We'll have you back to
normal in no time. I promise.

Tony! How could I
have ever let this happen.

- None of this is your fault.
- How can you say that!?

Any blood that's been
spilt is on my hands!

How can I know what I'll do next!?
What if I hurt you?!

Even if you get out
of control again...

You know I'll always
have your back.

Look, everybody makes mistakes.

It's about what you
do after you mess up

that shows what kind
of person you really are.

And the way I feel about
you, Chika,

I know we can deal with
anything if we're together.

Tony…

I want you… always by my side.

Thank you, Tony!

I'll miss you.

Chika!?

Dammit! Chika, stay with me!

Tony...

I want you to know that…

…you've meant so much to me.

C'mon stop that talk!
I'm gonna get you out of here.

- Get you all fixed up.
- Hey! Mr. Stark!

What?

- We want to...
- Oh!

Doctor Tanaka!
Why's she in that suit?

Nanami, I need your help.

I need you to get Chika
to a hospital immediately.

Sure! Chika,
I have to go deal with Kuroda.

But I'll be back as soon as I can.

Nanami. Ichiro.

You two keep her safe.

I'll try to be strong for you.
Be safe.

Alright then. We need to go now.

- You're hurt badly!
- Hold on.

Nanami, I'll give you the
biggest story of your life.

If you do me a favor...

What's Kuroda's current location?

Target is heading north.
Current location is sector 223.

Extrapolating from his current flight
path, how long until intercept?

At present velocity you will reach
Kuroda in approximately one minute.

- What sector. - Sector 004,
the Nagata-Cho district.

I'm the only one left to stop him.

Finally! It's time.

And now Japan will be mine.
Huh?

Him again! Stubborn b*stard!

Ah well!

What pure satisfaction
to be the one to snap Stark's

spine and christen
my armor with his blood.

Kuroda, It was you behind Zodiac.
But why?!

Are you that thick?!
You already know why!

You're delusional! Japan
needs to be protected from you.

What do you know about Japan?!

Your people already
tried to eradicate my country!

How many vanished when
you dropped the A-b*mb?

We cant re-write history.

But we can save innocent
people from dying today!

What good will winning
be if everyone's dead?!

I couldn't have done this
without you and the good doctor.

Little did you know you were
building the arc station for Zodiac!

Those Mech attacks
were just to distract you

from the irregularities
of the Station.

And Doctor Tanaka was
under your nose the whole time.

Now, you're all expendable!

Chika! You have to stop working!

You need medical attention,
and the sooner the better!

Thank you for your concern.

But I… still have this
unfinished business to handle.

Doctor! Please! You can
catch up on work some other time!

Right now, the Arc Station's reactor
is completely under Kuroda's control.

He's siphoning power
from the station.

- For his Armor.
- Minister Kuroda?!

I helped create this reactor.

What?

If anyone can recalibrate
the power transfer, it's me.

But if you don't get help,
you'll die!

We had an incident like this.

One of the Zodiac agents
infiltrated the station.

His digital consciousness
got into the Station's mainframe.

I'm working on
doing the same thing,

but I'm going into
the station's reactor core.

That doesn't sound very safe!

When you digitize your mind, what
effect will that have on your body?

I promised him!

I told Mr. Stark,
I'd take care of you!

He knew you could be trusted.

No matter what was to come.

This is our only chance…

to stop them.

Hold it! You can't
sacrifice yourself for this!

Tony has to stop Zodiac
and I can help him do it.

I think, it's time you joined
your dear friend, Captain Sakurai.

What are you talking about.

Oh, he begged for mercy
before I finally finished him.

The coward.

You m*rder*d him?!

You're done.

Your technology doesn't
stand a chance against mine.

Tanaka studied your suit, and
combined with the Ramon Zero tech

to create my armor!

Everything about it
is better than yours!

After all, it was made in Japan!

Your little girlfriend
designed my suit

expressly to annihilate you,
Iron Man.

Thank you for making me a part
of something bigger than myself.

I wish I could stay.

Tony.

What's up, doc?

I'm sending you some coordinates.
You need

to get there as soon as you can!

What are you doing?

Rerouting the reactor's power.

Sending it to you via photon beam.

Wait a minute.

Didn't Kuroda lock you
completely out of the system?

I have another way to get in.

I'm inserting my consciousness
directly into the Reactor core.

Don't do it!
You could k*ll yourself! Chika!

We have no other choice!
We have to stop Kuroda.

It's not worth it!
I won't let you sacrifice yourself!

Stop it, Chika! Don't do this!

I'll miss you, Tony.

This is my choice.

I hope, you can forgive me for it.

Initiating Countdown.

Ten, nine,

Tony Stark!

Your incessant interference
grows more and more tiresome.

It's time to silence you forever!

Oh, shut up!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

Sakurai. Signing off.

I want you to know that
you've meant so much to me.

What?!

How did he damage my armor?!

Ignition.

No! The Reactor energy connection?!

It's dropped. How can this be?!

If you try siphoning the Reactor's
energy into that tin can of yours,

you'll be blown apart!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!

You can't handle it!

How can he?

No!

You lose.

She... She's gone.

Poor Chika.

She sacrificed herself to save us.

We are coming to you live.

Welcome, everybody, for the unveiling
of the Tanaka Memorial Arc Station.

Today marks the
first day of operations

for the troubled power plant.

Emerging from the violence that has
surrounded it since it's inception,

its light signals a new beginning.

As free energy is
beamed across the globe,

we are reminded of the human
cost of such scientific advances.

And that such technology
is only as good as

those who would control it.

Having been cleared of all charges,

Tony Stark must be
smiling wherever he is.

This is indeed a new
day for Stark Industries,

for Japan, and for the world.

Chika. We did it.

Together we pulled it off.

We managed to save the world.
