[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Here's a little holiday greeting

I've been wanting to send to the Mandarin.

JARVIS: I've compiled

a Mandarin database for you, sir.

I know you're a coward.

So I've decided

there's no politics here.

It's just good old-fashioned revenge.

The name is an ancient Chinese w*r

mantle meaning "advisor to the king."

There's no Pentagon, it's just you and me.

South American insurgency tactics.

And on the off-chance you're a man,

here's my home address.

10880 Malibu Point.

90265. I'll leave the door unlocked.

STARK: Lots of pageantry going on here.

Lots of theater.

[EXHILARATING MUSIC PLAYING]

- STARK: Hey.

- Don't hurt the face! I'm an actor.

JACKSON: Okay, look,

Trevor, this is our last day.

And, uh, we've covered

a lot of the logistics.

Uh, your recruitment by Aldrich Killian,

the creation of an amalgam warlord

by his think tank

Whom I brought to life. Carry on.

The one question that most people ask me

when I tell them that I know you is that,

"How could he have not known

the history of The Mandarin himself?"

- He was a warrior-king.

- [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

JACKSON: Inspired generations of men

through the Middle Ages,

perhaps even further back in time.

[g*n c*ck]

- That's nice.

- [JACKSON SIGHS]

Not really.

You see, there's somebody

who wants to meet you.

- Do I know him?

- No, but you took his name.

- [ROARS]

- RAZOR FIST: The men are ready.

XU WENWU: We will rebuild The Ten Rings

to what it once was.
