Bishop breaks the Knight out of jail but kills him because he failed their master. Vic Martinelli, Stark's head of security, learns that the person behind both the attack on Stark International and the attack by the Knight is from Glen Travail in northern Scotland. At the same time, Stark is invited to Scotland by the Laird of Travail. In Scotland, Iron Man battles and defeats the Bishop. Rhodey has been captured by the Laird and covered in poisonous spiders somewhere in the castle. Iron Man has one hour to rescue him.
