G.I. Joe: Retaliation Page #6

(STRAINING)

Open up.

COBRA COMMANDER:
Zeus is ready.

We just need

one final piece of the puzzle.

FIREFLY:
Well done. (CHUCKLES)

History will stand in judgment.

Not of me. Of you.

(LAUGHS)

What do we got, Jaye?

Zartan's entire focus

has been this nuclear summit.

It has to be the key

to whatever he's planning.

All right. Well, then that's our target.

Yeah.

Guys, move.

(COCKING GUN)

(GRUNTING)

I think I'm faster than you, Snake Eyes.

Damn Ninjas.

(CHUCKLES)

Good to see you, brother.

Jaye.

Jinx.

FLINT:
Back up.

He's with us.

I am not with you.

But for this once,

I am not against you.

How many of our men has he killed?

We're supposed to fight with him?

The leaders of the world

will gather tomorrow. It's a trap.

Storm is the only one

who knows Cobra's plan

inside and out.

He can help us find a way to stop it.

But we have to work together.

ROADBLOCK:
All right.

Let's move.

Merry Christmas.

Makes you wonder

about your neighbours.

Nice.

Open up that couch.

Anything?

I brought my own.

Nice.

Yeah, that'll work.

Hey.

That one's mine.

This really is Patton's gun, isn't it?

Gift from his family.

What an honour.

You bet.

I was actually thinking about

something a little more your size.

Try not to scratch her up.

Idles a little rough in neutral.

I ain't gonna be in neutral.

Hoo-ah.

What about you?

DOD says

I can't come out of retirement.

They didn't say anything

about reenlisting.

Reporting for duty, Sergeant Major.

I'd like to bring a couple friends of mine.

ROADBLOCK:
Colton's team,

it's our honour.

You guys take the perimeter.

Flint, Jaye, Snake,

you guys take the flank.

Jinx and Storm, Trojan Horse.

Zartan will be holding the briefcase.

Storm will be the closest man to him.

But he can't move

until we're all in position.

Everyone keep your eye on the prize.

We secure the football,

we secure the world.

Snake, how's all that sound?

That's what I thought.

FLINT:
Okay, wait. Hold on a second.

We still have enemy armour

here, here, and here.

Right?

These tanks survive, we don't.

Leave the tanks to me.

General?

Call me Joe.

- Anything I missed?

- No.

Rock solid. My orders?

The President.

- Brenda's with my team.

- Roger that.

Does Brenda get a vote?

ROADBLOCK:
Negative.

You need a pen?

I need your help.

ROADBLOCK:
All right.

Let's kick that ass! Hoo-ah!

ALL:
Hoo-ah!

REPORTER 1:
A historic day for

the President of the United States

as he meets with...

REPORTER 2:
This afternoon, the

President is meeting with the leaders

of the eight nuclear powers.

REPORTER 3:
Never before

has a President been so bold

to call the leaders

of the world together...

REPORTER 4:
These are

unprecedented nuclear talks

that most believed would never happen.

REPORTER 5:
You can bet security is

at its highest...

REPORTER 6:
We may be closer

to a nuclear-free world

than we have ever been.

ZARTAN:
My fellow world leaders,

welcome to the hallowed grounds

of Fort Sumter,

whose proud walls saw the first shots

in our nation's grievous Civil War.

Here, men rushed through the breach

in a madness.

What better place to step back

from that same breach.

Renounce our darker natures.

Forgive our staunchest foes.

This site is symbolic.

Not only for the peace

we seek to achieve,

but the conflagration we seek to avoid.

The Cobras who protect us today

are dedicated to the belief

that there is no greater peace

than peace of mind.

- Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

RUSSIAN LEADER:
I'll say it again.

The world is safer

with a nuclear presence.

I'm sure your electorate will be happy

by our final proposal.

50% reduction by 2016.

There are a lot of leaders in this room.

But only one leader of the free world.

And he,

I, stay with me,

asked you here with the goal

of universal disarmament.

Nuclear zero.

Now, I was prepared

to cajole to get what I want.

I'm now at threaten.

Each of you will clear out

his nuclear closet immediately.

Failure to participate

will be considered an act of war.

You're joking, of course.

This summit is over.

ZARTAN:
Then this is it.

This is it, boys.

This country is at war.

With you and you and you

and you and you and you.

JOE 1:
Delta team in position.

Echo, you're a go.

JOE 2:
This is Echo. Beginning assault.

ZARTAN:
The U.S. nuclear arsenal

is capable of destroying

each of your countries 14 times over.

Fifteen, in the case of North Korea,

just to be sure.

And all

(BEEPING)

at the push

of a button.

(PEOPLE CLAMOURING)

ZARTAN:
It's true. Yeah!

Yeah, I pressed it.

You have lost your mind!

It's all relative.

You got three minutes to decide.

MAN 1:
You got next watch?

MAN 2:
Maintain radio silence.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(INDISTINCT CLAMOURING)

We cannot, we will not leave

a legacy of acquiescence!

- Bring the briefcase.

(SPEAKING KOREAN)

FRENCH LEADER:
Don't do this!

There can be no winners!

Ooh. High score.

Let history record

who was responsible for this madness.

Launch.

(SPEAKING HINDI)

(SPEAKS KOREAN)

Launch.

(SOLDIER GRUNTS)

Eyes on the Emerald City.

Jaye and Colton,

you're a go for POTUS.

You all right?

Yeah. You all right?

My cholesterol's a little high.

JAYE:
Jaye and General Colton.

Checkpoint neutralised.

You're on your own.

(RAPID BEEPING ON MONITORS)

Well, the good news is,

no global warming summit next month.

Unless

one of us cared enough

about his place in history

to unilaterally disable his warheads.

Hmm?

You know, in the name of the children.

Any volunteers?

No? Fine.

Me.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Call your people to confirm.

You're a complete lunatic.

Says the man about to destroy Asia.

Come on,

who's going to follow suit, huh?

Are you really going to stand by

and watch as Earth is destroyed?

Abort!

(SPEAKING HINDI)

I figured North Korea for last.

(EXCLAIMS)

(DEVICE BUZZES)

Got to love the little guy.

Gentlemen.

Welcome to a nuclear-free world.

I want to direct your attention

to live images of your homelands.

Now, you're looking

at an advanced weapons system

we call Project Zeus.

There are seven Zeus satellites

orbiting Earth.

Each satellite contains

10 hollow platinum tubes

filled with a tungsten rod.

Zeus satellite 1-A approaching London.

Ordnance live and loaded.

Awaiting drop authorisation.

Now, to direct a rod to its target,

we don't launch it or fire it.

COBRA COMMANDER:
We drop it!

Gravity does the rest.

Observe.

Satellite 1-A.

We have remote launch authorisation.

MAN:
Three, two, one,

drop.

A rod touches down

eight times faster than a bullet.

And with a force significantly greater

than a nuclear warhead.

None of the fallout.

All of the fun.

(ALL GASPING)

(EXCLAIMS IN HINDI)

FRENCH LEADER:
You will have to

answer for this.

To your Congress, your courts.

Correction,

they will have to answer to me.

What is it you want?

I want it all.

The Cobra revolution has begun.

By pressing that button,

Zartan initiated an auto-drop sequence.
