Cobra Page #3

Synopsis: A gang of neo-fascist thugs, led by the self-proclaimed 'Night Slasher', are breaking into people's homes & cars, then killing them at random. When of of these thugs holds up a food store & takes hostages, Lt. Marian Cobretti - an intense, take-no-prisoners cop, is brought onto the scene to end the hostage-taking. Ranting bizarrely about a 'New World', the man levels a sawed-off shotgun at Cobretti, who hits him with a knife, then guns him down when the man refuses to put down his weapon. Later that night, another murder occurs, attributed to the Night Slasher - and the next day, another one. This one is witnessed by a young woman, Ingrid Knutsen. She drives away before the thugs can kill her, but it isn't long before some creepy-looking people start making attempts on her life - and Cobretti's. Cobretti plans to move the only witness to the blood spree upstate, but with inside information, the thugs follow them. And a battle for survival rages between Cobretti and the thugs...

He's the expert on this.

He doesn't look like an expert, does he?

I know. He looks like

a fugitive from the '50s. . .

. . .but he sure is great

at catching psychos.

He's the pride of the zombie squad.

What's the zombie squad?

The bottom line.

Want to have some fun?

It's kind of personal. . .

. . .but it might cheer him up.

Walk up to him. . .

. . .and call him. . . .

He likes that.

Hot item.

Did you find out anything new?

Since you were in the bathroom?

No, not really.

I did.

Like what?

Marion Cobretti.

Is that really your name?

Gonzales talks too much, doesn't he?

It's not so bad.

It's kind of tough growing up with.

-I like it.

-Do you?

I always wanted to have

a tougher one myself.

You know, a little harder name.

Like what?

Alice.

We'd better get going.

Sorry, no sale.

Your entree is ready.

It's for the large family.

It sure is.

You have a life preserver?

Why?

Because your french fries

are drowning there.

What is this place?

It's a foundry town.

Tell me something:

Do you ever let go?

Sure.

Really?

So what do you do to relax?

Look for trouble.

No, I mean. . .

. . .do you ever get involved?

With a woman?

Yeah, a woman.

A real woman?

A real live woman?

I don't know.

Now and then. Nothing regular.

Why?

Let's just say that. . .

. . .not many people could

put up with the way I live.

What if you found one?

I'd say she'd have to be

a little crazy.

I've got to go.

You scared me.

Where's Tony?

He's asleep. I was just

checking on things at home.

Why not use the phone in your room?

It's out of order.

-It's getting cold out here, huh?

-Yeah. Better get inside.

Maybe it doesn't mean much,

but I think you're doing a great job.

You too.

Can't you sleep?

Not really.

You should try.

-I can still hear.

-What?

That your eyes are open.

Who can sleep?

Would you come over here, please?

I won't hurt you.

Sure, why not?

Yeah, I guess I'll be pretty safe.

Where will you go

when this is all done?

I don't know. Maybe another case.

We'll see each other some more

when this is over, right?

You think that's a good idea?

I think it might be.

I'll go check the window.

I think it might be a very good idea.

Morning.

Hi.

Where we going today?

Further upstate.

We better check on Stalk,

see why she isn't out here.

Better get in the car.

What's wrong?

You look so mad.

I always look this way

before breakfast.

-She's gone, man.

-What?

Gone.

Get inside.

Get inside!

Never liked that b*tch.

Me either.

Get in the house.

Get down over there.

Come on!

Tony!

What do I do?

Go through it!

Keep going!

Come on, let's go!

Go to the foundry.

You have the right to remain silent.

Die, b*tch!

Get out of there!

Let's bleed, pig!

Where are you?

I want your eyes, pig!

I want them!

You want to go to hell?

You want to go to hell with me?

It doesn't matter, does it?

We are the hunters.

We kill the weak. . .

. . .so the strong survive.

You can't stop the New World.

Your filthy society will never

get rid of people like us.

It's breeding them.

We are the future!

You're history.

You won't do it, pig.

You won't shoot.

Murder is against the law.

You have to take me in.

If. . .

. . .you can.

Even I have rights. . .

. . .don't l. . .

. . .pig?

Take me in.

They'll say I'm insane.

Won't they?

The court is civilized. . .

. . .isn't it. . .

. . .pig?

But I'm not.

This is where the law stops. . .

. . .and I start. . .

. . .sucker!

Come on, pig.

You okay?

You sure?

Let's get out of here.

Come on, you did your best.

Don't feel guilty.

That's nice of you.

You going to be all right?

I'm going to miss the dance finals.

Listen, can I get you anything?

Yeah.

I would kill for some. . . .

What?

Gummy Bears.

Gummy Bears?

See you at the hospital.

-Keep in touch.

-Don't drive too fast.

You did a hell of a job here.

You ever want a transfer

to something easier. . .

. . .or you need anything. . .

. . .just say the word.

I would like to have my car replaced.

We'd like to,

but it's not in the budget.

See you back at headquarters.

I'll take care of your toy for you.

No hard feelings.

You kind of overdid it around here.

I personally would have. . .

. . .a more subtle solution,

but that's not your style.

No hard feelings.

No hard feelings, pal.

I'll give you a lift.

No, I've got my own

transportation, thanks.

You ready?

Ready, Marion.

Catchy name, isn't it?
