So Sam Witwicky gets tired of waiting for
OPTIMUS!!!! to come back and help fight The Red Skull again, so he ****s off to Virginia to make moonshine with Bane, John Connor 5.0 (?), and his bestie Valerian. Well, everything is going fairly smoothly for a while; no one really knows what the hell Bane is saying most of the time, but everyone is being fairly chill, just getting drunk and bro-ing it up, and Sam and Valerian probably celebrate each other's strength at least once or twice out in the woods after a few jars of moonshine. But not on camera.
Bane hires Molly Bloom to help out around the place (I guess she really fell on hard times after her poker empire got shut down by Totally Not Tobey Maguire), except she's totally thirsty af and totally wants Bane to break her like Batman. And Sam is chasing after Alice Not In Wonderland and hero worshiping Commissioner Gordon after seeing him riddle some fools in the middle of town, because Gordon's hardcore like that.
But then one day, the **** hits the fan, because
The Real Mandarin™ rolls up and is all like "sup *****es, I AM THE MANDARIN, *****es better have my money".
To which Bane says....well, no one is totally sure what Bane says, but it's probably something to the effect of
Because suddenly all hell is breaking loose, and people are getting shot and stabbed and beat up and throats slit and castrated and tarred and feathered, and it's a whole thing.
The Real Mandarin™ rolls up on Sam and Valerian, and Sam totally catches them hands, but
The Real Mandarin™ sub-contracts Bane out to a couple rent-a-goons, because not even the realest of Mandarins **** with Bane.
Bane gets turned into Nearly Headless Nick, except he's Bane and he IS the League of Shadows, so he just walks it off. Literally. Then he just swags on over to Molly and is like "I will break you", and Molly is like "ugh, yes Daddy", and then he triggers
her detonator. If ya know what I mean.
(during the lovemaking, Bane may or may not accidentally call her Talia, but nobody ever really knows what Bane is saying anyway, so it all works out ok)
Meanwhile, Sam finally gets Alice Not In Wonderland to go out for a ride with him, but before he can get down that rabbit hole, A WILD MANDARIN APPEARS!
He employs KILL THE HERO'S BEST FRIEND, and BLOW UP DISTILLERY!
It is SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Except now
errrrreybody all riled up, and everybody's getting real sick of his crap. They're mad as hell and they're not gonna take it anymore. Transformers, resistance soldiers, League of Shadows ninjas, all coming outta the woodwork. People got 99 problems and they're all
The Real Mandarin™.
But
The Real Mandarin™ is not one to throw in the towel so easily. He takes a stand and is all "come at me bro".
Except this time Sam finally caps his ass. And then John Connor 5.0 shanks his ass. And then his ass ded.
And everyone else lives happily ever after, and Sam marries Alice, and Bane marries Molly, and John Connor 5.0 marries....someone. The movie doesn't really bother to tell us, probably because it knows no one cares about this version of John Connor anyway.
And then Bane falls in a frozen lake and dies. Hooray!
THE END
