Ironheart

What did you do to yourself?

I was bailed out by a mutual friend...

Parker Robbins.

What does he want in return?

You.

- Mom, I need your help. - What happened?

The cloak that it's coming from is likely possessing whoever's in it.

This entity doesn't possess, it influences.

Does this entity have a name?

It's Dormammu.

You could be dealing with one of the most powerful beings in the universe.

I spent my whole life trying not to become

Obadiah Stane,

taking down an iron freak!

You need to leave Chicago now.

If Parker finds out you're still alive, he won't be so forgiving.

Done.

What kind of father puts his son out of the house at 12?

Sign it in ink, or sign it in blood.

It's never gonna be enough.

Won't be long before Parker realizes

I'm not dead.

I need a suit, and I have nothing to build it with.

I have to fight magic with magic.

Magic is a mutual exchange.

There's always a cost.

Riri?

- Zelma, turn it off. - What's happening?

I don't think the reactor can't handle the magic and Natalie.

Help me! Riri, please!

- Hold on. - Do something.

I love you, Ri.

No, wait!

- We gotta go. Split up. - John. How do I find you?

I'm never too far away.

I'm always with you.

- Master bedroom, clear. - Go.

Go. Go!

- Switch to comm two. - Right there.

Secure the perimeter.

Oh, shit.

I see him.

- Son of a bitch. - There he goes.

Fan out!

He went down this way.

- Here! - There he goes.

Hey, kid! I see you.

There's nowhere to go.

We've got you surrounded.

I do not like your odds.

There's no need for that.

Where the hell did you come from?

Well, I could answer, or I could open the door.

What door-- What are you talking about, man?

Come on, let me help you.

Go in. Go in.

Hey, you coming?

We'll take care of it.

Take the step. The step.

Stop right there.

Stop!

- He's gone. - Where'd he go?

It probably is. I know what you mean.

Yes, you are.

Who the hell are you, man?

Me? I'm just a fan,

a fan who wants to be in the Parker Robbins business.

Can I ask you a question?

Do you mind if I stare at you?

Amazing. What a face.

- How do you even know me? - Oh, man. You are a legend.

Well, you're not currently, but you deserve to be.

If we start working together, I'm gonna make you

the greatest human of your generation.

- This is weird. - You know, how about a slice?

Come on, try that. It's not right, we'll send it back.

Keep on bringing it till it's perfect.

Try it.

There he is.

Anyway, Parker,

you're not fulfilling your potential,

and I know how much that upsets you, and it makes me very, very sad, too.

I'm sorry, bro, it's...

Oh, no...

This shit about me fulfilling my potential--

I mean, how would I even...

You just did that?

Did you like it? You want me to do it to someone else?

Shall I do it to the whole city?

Now, let me ask you, what is it that you most desire?

Uh...

- I don't know. - You... You know what?

Uh, I'm wasting your time. Okay. Thank you.

Wait, wait. I... Hey, look, um...

- Huh? - I guess I...

I...

You know, I wanna be powerful...

- and respected. - Stop...

...bullshitting me,

and tell me what it is that you want.

I wanna...

I want to be rich.

Okay. How rich?

Like...

Like, stupid, disgusting, greasy rich.

Stupid, disgusting, greasy. Okay, you got it.

Like him?

No. Richer than him.

- You're gonna give me everything? - No, of course I'm not,

you beautiful human being.

I'm gonna give you the tools

so that you can get yourself everything that you deserve.

Okay.

I wanna be king.

So be it.

- And what's in it for you? - Oh. Something you won't even miss.

Whatever it is...

I'm in.

I knew you were smart.

This is great.

I have to leave.

It's been a pleasure.

Hey, look. Yo, you forgot your thing.

Oh. No, that's yours.

- It looks expensive. - No, no, no.

Not too expensive for you, Your Majesty.

How do I look?

Right now, you look like shit,

but soon, you're gonna look like the king you were born to be.

I'll be in touch.

Chicago-based venture capitalist firm

ArtWorks' CEO has made an overnight exit,

now setting the table for a so-called invisible partner

to take the helm.

Don't be shy. Have you tried the caviar?

Something about being held against one's will kills the appetite.

Besides, eating animal babies is unethical.

I said... eat.

So why do you want me here?

Well, you'll need a place to lay low.

Since you got your hands dirty.

With Riri?

- You did kill her? - Yeah, I did kill her.

You know...

'cause if, for some reason,

you been less than honest,

you know we'd have a problem, right?

I would kill her again if I could.

Fine.

- Eat. - I'm not doing this.

And you're programmed to prevent anyone from harming me.

Even you.

Release.

Wow. You're a real piece of shit.

What?

You got something to say? Speak.

Do you know how silly you look?

You've got all this power and you're doing what?

Holding me hostage and playing dress up in Dad's house?

You don't belong here, and everyone's gonna know that.

You're absolutely right.

What?

I shouldn't be here.

- Come on. - I'm not going anywhere with--

I'm gonna give you the tools

so that you can get yourself everything that you deserve.

Cheers. Cheers.

- You got that... - I love you.

Nah, that can't be right.

Okay. Yeah.

I don't understand. Everything is exactly the same.

Why can't I map Nat?

You know it's not the real Natalie, right?

Give me Nat.

Give me my friend back,

you stupid machine.

God!

What?

I'm sorry you lost her, Ms. Riri.

So am I.

- Yeah, it sucks, Ri. - I didn't lose her.

Magic took her, and magic can bring her back.

I'll figure it out after I get that hood.

Whoa, Ri. We need to test your suit to see how the magic's affecting it.

Like, we still don't even know why adding magic deleted Natalie!

- Baby, maybe take a minute. - I'm okay, Mom.

I can't let all this work be for nothing.

And thank you... all of you.

I know I'm bad at showing it,

but this really means a lot.

I couldn't have done this alone.

Be careful.

I will.

Hey, can you hear me?

Answer me, damn it.

Talk to me.

I don't like your tone.

That you?

When did you get an accent?

When did you get an attitude?
