G.i. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Page #3

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.

Right before you broke up that bar?

About 4 years ago,

my boy had issues.

I mean, his issues had issues.

I've been in the military my entire life

and I have never seen

a tac operation like this.

All right, you trusted me,

I guess I'll trust you.

Technically, G.I. Joe does not exist,

but if it did,

it'd be comprised

of the top men and women

from the best military units in the world,

the alpha dogs.

When all else fails, we don't.

working together, sharing intel.

Now we have 23.

- What's that?

- Camouflage suit.

It photographs everything behind you

and puts it in front of you.

- Mr. McCullen is standing by, sir.

- Patch him through via TelePresence.

- So who hit us?

- Currently unknown.

But one thing's for sure,

she's got highly classified intel

and state-of-the-art weaponry,

which means there's a whole

hell of a lot of money behind her.

Their capabilities are beyond anything

we've ever encountered.

Yeah, that's the one and only reason

why we got our asses kicked out there.

We need to find out

everything we can about her.

Knowing is half the battle.

Gentlemen, Mr. McCullen,

CEO of MARS Industries

and the builder of these warheads.

General, clearly you were the

security option I should have chosen.

What did you just say? My team

did everything we could out there,

- and a lot of good men went down.

- Yeah, but not you.

That mission was classified,

so clearly someone sold us out.

I spent 10 years and 13 billion euros

creating these 4 warheads.

Your job, Captain, was to protect them,

and if it wasn't for General Hawk,

you'd have failed.

That's not a fair assessment.

He followed his orders to the letter.

Well, that wasn't enough.

Now, so the bastards who attacked you

can't find you,

you need to disable

the tracking beacon hidden in the case.

- We already have.

- Good man.

But allow me to check them

to see if any have been damaged.

Open it, please.

My scan says they're intact, sir.

- What's the code?

-5-2-9-4-4-0.

Please keep me informed

of your progress, General.

Breaker?

My voice analyzer on that guy

was going up, down and sideways.

Looks like McCullen's working an angle

he don't want us to catch.

We're on a deadline.

We need those warheads now!

You knew that!

wringing money out of NATO,

this was supposed to be the easy part.

If you had let me stage the assault

at your precious factory,

I could have contained the situation.

And lost the trust of our clients

in the process.

It had to be NATO's fault!

What happened?

- Did you hesitate when you saw him?

- No.

This had nothing to do with him.

Forgive my jealousy.

Have you tracked the case?

They, of course,

deactivated the homing beacon.
