Cobra Page #4

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...

Yeah, but it's just a little one.

-He's going to get me, isn't he?

-No, he won't.

How can you say that?

You said I'll be safe here.

Who is he?

We don't know yet.

Come on, it's moving time.

This is Officer Stalk.

She's assigned to this case.

-So let's go, guys.

-Where?

We're going to a safe house.

Want help with this?

-Want a bite?

-No.

Don't you like health food?

Did you notice

anything out of the ordinary?

Did anybody challenge you?

If you remember anything, let us know.

I appreciate your help.

You've got to tell me

what happened here.

I told you to let my team

handle this, understand?

Of course you don't.

Listen, hotshot.

-We want him just as much as you do.

-Do you?

There were 3 men assigned to that room.

Headquarters called to take 2 off. Why?

-Headquarters didn't do anything.

-No? Then who did?

It's your show.

You find out.

Where's Gonzales?

Buckle up!

He's crazy! He's crazy!

Go!

Watch out!

Get down!

It's so out of control.

Where do I start?

With the legal problems.

Of course we have legal problems.

The city's become one big battlefield.

The public will be screaming

for federal assistance.

I don't want FBI in here!

We've got enough manpower to handle it,

so why can't we control this?

Because we're against an army of

killers. I keep telling you guys that.

-How do you know?

-I know, all right?

-This army theory sounds weak.

-Does it really?

What have you got, besides one scared

woman, to back up anything you say?

And your idea of taking her out of

the city for protection is ridiculous.

The security is here.

Maybe she'll be safer here,

where we can keep an eye on her.

-It won't work.

-Why not?

We're dealing with fanatics

who'll do anything to waste her!

Excuse me, but I've got

to say what I think.

And I think this whole

sorry ordeal is like some. . .

. . .damn sick joke, if you ask me.

Nobody asked you, Monte.

That's just too bad, isn't it?

He doesn't give a rat's ass for

this girl. She's just live bait. . .

. . .so King Cobretti here

can cut a new notch.

You've already caused

a lot of people to die.

How about letting her live?

Enough!

Next time.

He's the psycho!

What do we want to do?

If he thinks those psychos

will follow her, let him go.

At least we got them out of the city.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

Are your men out there?

Yeah, they're out there.

Are we just supposed to drive around

until he tries to kill us again?

No, they won't get you.

You keep saying that.

How do you know that for sure?

You got to have faith.

Can I ask you something?

Sure, what's that?

Why were you fighting

with the other police?

Sometimes they don't buy what I believe.

There's all these
