G.i. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Page #7

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.

So, that's what this is all about.

All right. Keep tight, boys.

All guns on that cannon.

Torpedoes away!

I've just lost my wingman.

Retargeting Joe submarine.

I've got a shot.

Pulse cannon fault. Pulse cannon fault.

Cannon now offline.

- The whole damn system's down.

- I'm trying to bring it back online.

Now you die.

Launch immediately.

- Chart a course up to the ice pack.

- Yes, sir.

- We gotta go after Rex and McCullen.

- How could it be Rex?

Hey, Scarlett, it's Duke!

- He looks fine.

- But what's he doing with her?

Okay, we got a track on McCullen's sub.

He's headed up into the ice pack.

Duke, behind us!

Looks like they're onto us.

Ana, shoot those guys.

Love to.

When our master was killed,

you took a vow of silence.

Now you will die without a word.

All right, the second one in my sights.

Okay, Rip, you only got 30 seconds

before it enters the lower atmosphere.

I got you!

- Ripcord, you missed.

- The warhead has entered

the lower atmosphere.

I know, I know! I'm on it, I'm on it!

Sh*t!

- I can't shake these guys.

- Duke, I'm out!

- All right, let's see what we got here.

- Black Ray, Eliminator, LAW.

Laser Artillery Weapon.

That sounds good.

- Scarlett!

- Hey, Duke!

I'm going after McCullen and Rex.

You guys better get the hell out of there.

I can't. Rip has one more warhead

to take down.

Rip, where is he?

The missile's just gone drone.

It's going in for the kill!

Sir, there's a hostile Mantis craft

coming up behind us.

- Seal the door.

- Sir.

There you are.

One got through. I hit them!

Duke! They're back!

Going hot in 3, 2, 1.

There's gotta be another way around

to Rex and McCullen.

Charting new course for alternate route.

Come on, come on, come on.

You're too close, Rip! Back off!

Actually, I think

I'm just about close enough.

He's taking the nanomites

back into the upper atmosphere.

Ripcord, get out of that plane!

Almost there!

Eject, Ripcord, eject!

He did it. He actually did it.

Ripcord?

Ripcord?

Ripcord!

Didn't I ask you not to yell at me?

Everybody, listen up! We still have

a lot of Joes out there in harm's way.

Let's bring them home.

- Did it work?

- Yes, yes, it worked.

Good. Because I think

I'm about to get arrested, again.

Don't move!

- Hey, hey, same team, same team!

- Hands up!

Same team.

Okay, okay, okay.

- What's our status?

- We've lost aft thrusters and the sonar.

- We're running blind.

- Kill them. Kill all the Joes.

- Detonate the ice pack.

- Right away, sir.

They're telling the other ships to abort.

He's gonna blow the ice pack.

This is Duke calling all Joes.

The ice pack's coming down!

There's a ton of steel and ice

- headed your way!

- What?

Everybody, pull back! Pull back now!

Door! The door, the door! Get the door!

Come on!

Ana, we could get out of here right now,

free and clear, safe and sound.

- Let's get them.

- That's my girl.

- This is cutting it close, Duke.

- I'm not letting those 2 get away.

Come on, guys, get out of there!

Snake!

- This is Scarlett. We're all clear.

- This is Duke. We're clear, too.

Yo, Joe!

Yeah!

Now that we have

a moment to ourselves,

I've designed something

- especially for you, James.

- No!

This will only hurt a little.

What comes next, more so.

Nanomites, perfect little healers.

I've finally taken my place

in a long line of McCullens.

James McCullen is no more.

Now you are Destro.

What have you done to me?

The time has come for the cobra

to rise up and reveal himself.

You will call me Commander.

This is Captain Duke Hauser.

Prepare to be boarded.

Sir.

You are relentless, Duke.

I'll give you that much.

And what's to stop me

from blowing you out of the water?

Self-preservation. I'm taking you in, Rex.

You and what army?

My army.

You know, Duke,

this has only just begun.

I'll be waiting for you.

I've never seen encoding like this.

I mean, physically, she's fine,

but when Rex programmed them,

he sure didn't want them taken out.

- So there's nothing you can do for her?

- It'll take some time,

but we'll take them out.

Till we get those things

out of your head,

looks like you're gonna be

seeing a lot of me around here.

You can't save me, Duke.

No one can, not after all I've done.

Look, that wasn't you.

I'm not giving up on you.

- Man, we look good.

- Yeah, well, you better get used to it.

Heavy Duty thinks you guys

ought to stick around permanently.

So, you're asking us, right?

Yeah, 'cause he didn't sound

like he was asking.

'Cause you gotta be asked

to join the G.I. Joes.

I'm asking.

Well, I'm in.

- How do you feel about this?

- I feel very emotional.

All Joes mobilize and ready check

for Operation Mongoose.

All ground transports,

rendezvous at Base Brothers Grimm.

All Howler Hunters will rendezvous

at Base Roman Ruin.

Good luck, Joes.

Mr. President, it's good to see you.

- Thank you. And you.

- It's nice to have you back safely, sir.

- Thank you. John.

- Welcome back, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you all so much.
