G.i. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Page #4

Synopsis: Two soldiers stationed in Kazahkstan (Captain Duke Hauser and his partner "Ripcord") are ordered to transport special warheads created by MARS, an arms' manufacturer controlled by James McCullen. When they are attacked by thieves (led by Anastasia DeCobray, with whom Duke has history), they are saved by a top secret, international special forces unit known as "G.I. Joe". The leader of G.I. Joe, General Abernathy (or Hawk) is on the trail of the thieves: an evil organization called "Cobra". While Duke and Ripcord train to join the Joes, McCullen ("Destro") is secretly working for Cobra and plotting to recapture his metal-eating "Nanomite" warheads. Duke and Ripcord (with help from Heavy Duty, Snake Eyes, and the rest of the Joes) must prove that they are Real American Heroes -- by stopping the launch of these warheads before Cobra uses them to take over the world.

- None so far, sir.

We take this to mean

the terrorists are unfocused.

- No clear goals.

- No.

It means they intend to use them.

General Hawk is stable now,

but he won't be conscious

for another day or so.

He's one tough bastard.

Hey.

- You all right?

- I'm fine.

I didn't want anyone

to see me like this.

Why?

I don't know. All the men we lost,

General Hawk wounded,

my neck just doesn't seem important.

You almost lost your life out there.

You have a reason to be concerned.

First fight I lost since I was a kid.

My father taught me to win.

Look, I don't see how you could teach

anybody to win everything every time.

I mean, look at you.

You're still here, right?

You get knocked down, you get back up.

Maybe that's

what he wanted you to learn.

But then again,

that would be an emotional response,

one that can't be explained or quantified.

Hey. Looks like we're all

seeing ghosts today, huh?

Storm Shadow!

English, Storm Shadow.

Where are your manners?

He is hungry.

We need to invite him in

and show him the path.

- He is a cur, a weakling!

- He does not fight like one.

Now, what shall we call you?

This belonged to an ancestor of mine.

He was caught selling arms

to both sides.

The French forced him to wear it

for the rest of his life.

They called him Destro,

destroyer of nations.

So why do you keep it?

So that I never forget

the most important rule in dealing arms.

Let me guess. Never sell to both sides?

Never get caught selling to both sides.

Take the warheads to Paris.

Have them weaponized.

- Then I want you to test one.

- Test one?

We'll let CNN show the world

how well they perform.

Fear is a great motivator.

I have a target in mind,

one the French will never forget,

as I've never forgotten

what they did to Clan McCullen.

- Are you ready, Mr. Zartan?

- Born ready, Doctor.

This is going to be

the achievement of a lifetime.

Yes, as a master of disguise,

you have no equal, my friend.

learning mannerisms,

but the devil is in the details.

Gentlemen, let's get it going.

One more thing.

I'll control my own brain,

thank you very much.

Let's do this.

- Wow. That was a bit nasty.

- Think so?

Let's run some tests.

Eye color. Skin tone. Hair follicles.

And initiating

facial reconstruction tests.

We gotta find out

who's holding their leash.

With their weaponry, financing

and intel, these guys are high-line pros.

That limits the possibilities.

- Hey, the weapons case.

- What?

Remember, McCullen had us

open the weapons case?

- What about it?

- I bet you he gave us a code

that reactivated the tracking beacon.

You're right.

McCullen, that son of a b*tch.

So, McCullen uses NATO

to fund his R&D

and then he steals the warheads back.

- And who says you're not a thinker?

- Hey, I found her.

Yeah, that's her all right.

Her name is Ana de Cobray.

Baroness, if you're feeling formal.

Baroness? Wow, she really traded up.

Financially, of course.

- Who's he?

- Daniel de Cobray.

Big shot French scientist.

Runs a lab in Paris.

- Lab? What kind of lab?

- Particle accelerator.

Oh, my God. They're going to use him

to weaponize the warheads.

Well, that's where she's going.

I like croissants.

- Go, go, go!

- Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Pull up on the truck!

Go, go, go!

-2 o'clock!

- Go, go, go!

Go, let's move!

- In the alley!

- Get down, get down!

You see them?

-2 more on the left!

- Get down!

Dubble Bubble? It always helps me.

Yeah. Hey, you good?

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

All right, Mr. Science Officer,

you're up, okay?

You don't find it in 4 minutes,

you get out of there.

That house will not be there in 5.

I already called for the air strike.

Come on! Here we go!

I got you! Go, go, go!

Oh, crap!

Rooftop!

Hey, Duke, I gotta level with you.

- I hate it when you level with me.

- It's going to be a long 5 minutes.

No, no, no! It's too early.

It's too early!

- Duke!

- Rex! Rex!

Rex.

Duke! Come on. We gotta go.

- I gotta get Rex.

- We gotta go, man!

Black Hawk's waiting! We gotta go!

Nothing you can do!

- Nothing you can do, man! Come on!

- I gotta get Rex.

Ready. Aim. Fire.

Forward, march.

Are you going to sign in or shall I?

Ana?

Who is this?

Hey! What are you doing?

- What's going on here?

- I need you to do something for me

and I don't have much time.

What are these things?

They're warheads, dear.

And I need you to weaponize them

for me, or we'll kill everyone in here.

Hey! This is a civilian laboratory!

We don't have the correct

programming protocols for weaponizing!

The protocols are in the case.

I told you, I don't have much time.

Hey, is that Dubble Bubble?

But it's my last piece.

- Come on, give it to me.

- All right, there you go.

All right. Stick to the plan.

Scarlett, Snake Eyes, take the front.

Rip, Duke, take the back.

Breaker will be our eyes and ears.

I'll give the orders from here.

- You do what I say, when I say. Got it?

- Yes, Daddy.

Here.

- They're all alive.

- Merci, Daniel.

I told you I'd kill him

if he touched you again.

I heard you the first time.

Okay, we're almost there.

Scarlett, you better put your suit on.

That's her.

Take that Hummer, Snake!

Careful.

They're worth millions of dollars each.

Millions of dollars. Got it.

- Jesus.

- My bad. My bad. Won't happen again!

Thanks a lot, buddy!

Come on, Scarlett, babe. You in or out?

We gotta get in this fight!

Tracking signal is good.

Don't let go of that truck, Snake Eyes.

Let's get that bastard off the roof.

Look out!

Hey, Heavy, it's getting thick out here!

Yeah, I know. They're driving

right into the heaviest traffic.

What kind of escape route is that?

Maybe they're not trying to escape.

Maybe they're heading somewhere.

- Possible target?

- Yes.

Some place with a lot of metal.

- They're going to blow it up. All units!

- Guys, you have to stop them!

Yeah, we're working on it.

I mean right now!

They're going to detonate one

of the warheads on the Eiffel Tower!

Crush him!

Snake!

He's underneath. Kill him!

That redhead is really starting

to piss me off.

Sh*t!

Oh, God!

I got you. I got you.

- Nice save, slick.

- Come on,

don't start being all nice to me now.

Gotta go.

Get in!

All right, Rip, let's take this

thing down! Hang on, Snake!

Try this on for size, boys.

Oh, sh*t!

We lost them!

Cut through that building

across the street.

- Where's the door?

- Make one!

Right! Come on, Rip!

I'm coming. I'm coming!

I don't have them! Where are they?

- They're evacuating the Tower.

- We're only 2 kilometers away.

Snake, we're running out of time.

You gotta do something.

It's now or never.

- He gave up.

- He never gives up.

Coming through!

Okay, that was crazy.

I didn't expect that.

- What happened to you?

- I went through the train.

- What happened to you?

- I jumped over it.

- You can do that?

- Yeah. I told you to read that manual.

There's a manual?

Next time, I'll drive.

Here. Take the kill switch.
