USING THE MASS DEVICE, DESTRO AND COBRA COMMANDER

STEAL A POWERFUL SATELLITE, KIDNAP DUKE,

AND TERRORIZE THE WORLD.

TO STOP COBRA, THE JOES MUST BUILD THEIR OWN MASS DEVICE

AND FUEL IT WITH THREE PRECIOUS ELEMENTS.

BUT THEY'VE GOT TO GET THE ELEMENTS BEFORE COBRA DOES,

OR ALL IS LOST.

DUKE ESCAPES FROM COBRA'S ARENA OF SPORT

WITH THE HELP OF THE BEAUTIFUL SLAVE GIRL SELENA.

AND THE JOE TEAM BATTLES COBRA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN

WHILE SNAKE EYES RISKS HIS LIFE

FOR A CANISTER OF RADIOACTIVE CRYSTAL.

BUT THE CANISTER IS REALLY A BOMB,

AND IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE,

AS WE BEGIN OUR FOURTH EPISODE, "DUEL IN THE DEVIL'S CAULDRON."

[ TIMBER BARKING ]

[ GRUNTING ]

[ GLASS SHATTERS ]

[ WHIMPERING ]

GOOD BOY!

LIQUID CAN FILTER FUMES.

MAY BE ENOUGH TIME TO GET FUSION BOMB OUT OF HERE.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO SPARE, BOY,

SO KEEP YOUR PAWS CROSSED.

HERE WE GO!

LOOK OUT!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

TIMBER, YOU'RE MY KIND OF WOLF.

THANKS TO TIMBER AND COVER GIRL, WE'VE STILL GOT A CHANCE.

THERE IS A REMOTE POSSIBILITY WE CAN ACTIVATE OUR MASS DEVICE

WITH ONLY TWO OF THE REQUIRED ELEMENTS,

IF -- AND ONLY IF -- THE SYNTHETIC METEORITE FLAKES

I HAVE DEVISED COMPLETE THE EQUATION.

I SHALL NEED AN OBJECT FOR THE TEST.

-GUNG-HO. -BYE, BABY.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER, DR. VANDERMEER.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH LOTS TOGETHER.

I SHALL DO MY BEST.

SNAKE EYES, THE HOMING DEVICE.

PREPARE TO RECEIVE TRANSMISSION.

THE ELECTROMOTOR FORCE FIELD SEEMS TO BE ADEQUATE.

NOW...

[ ENERGY HUMMING ]

BABY, WHAT'D THEY DO TO YOU?

I WOULDN'T USE THAT WEAPON

UNLESS YOUR INSURANCE IS PAID UP.

WITHOUT THE THIRD ELEMENT, WE ARE NO MATCH FOR COBRA.

THE CATALYTIC INGREDIENT WE NEED IS TO BE FOUND

WHERE THE SO-CALLED RING OF FIRE

EMERGES FROM THE CONTINENT OF SOUTH AMERICA.

IT IS A CENTER OF EXTRAORDINARY VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.

MORE THAN 100,000 YEARS AGO, A GIGANTIC METEORITE

SURVIVED ENTRY INTO THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE,

PLUMMETED INTO THE CRATER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL'S CAULDRON.

THAT METEORITE IS THE LAST SOURCE

OF THE PURE METALLIC COMPOUND

WHICH IS OUR THIRD MISSING ELEMENT.

IT REMAINS THERE STILL, IN A DEADLY SEA OF RED-HOT LAVA.

[ BEEPING ] -WHAT'S THAT?

-LOOK AT THAT SCREEN. -UNREAL!

WHAT'S THE PATTERN?

Duke: AN ULTRA-SECRET MESSAGE ON THE VIDEO SCRAMBLER!

IT'S ONLY USED FOR TERMINAL CONDITION WHITE!

CONDITION WHITE? LIKE IN WHITE FLAG? NO WAY!

I'D DO ANYTHING

IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO DELIVER THIS MESSAGE.

BUT THE PRESIDENT AND THE JOINT CHIEFS

HAVE JUST ORDERED ME

TO ASSEMBLE THE ENTIRE G.I. JOE FORCE

AND SURRENDER, AS DIRECTED BY COBRA.

NO WAY!

YOU'RE PUTTING US ON, RIGHT, STALK?

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR GOURD!

COME OFF IT, STALKER!

WE'RE READING THIS WRONG.

THERE MUST BE A FOUL-UP IN TRANSMISSION.

IT'S NO MISTAKE.

AS SOON AS OUR ENTIRE OUTFIT

AND ITS SUPPORT AND SUPPLY NETWORKS

HAVE BEEN REPOSITIONED AS DEMANDED,

I WILL FORMALLY TURN IT ALL OVER TO THE COBRA COMMANDER.

WE'VE WON, DON'T YOU SEE?

WON!

DON'T TRY TO TALK ME OUT OF IT.

IT'S NOT MY DECISION.

THEY DON'T KNOW WE'RE EAVESDROPPING

ON THEIR SUPER-SECRET TRANSMISSION,

SO IT MUST BE THE TRUTH!

VICTORY, DESTRO!

I SAID, VICTORY, DESTRO! IS IT NOT SWEET?

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

I SEE THE FORCES OF OUR ENEMY

MARCHING TO THE DESIGNATED STAGING AREA.

BUT UNTIL THE MOMENT OF SURRENDER,

I SHALL NOT COUNT G.I. JOE OUT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I'VE ARRANGED A BANQUET.

WE STILL LACK THE THIRD ELEMENT TO POWER OUR MASS DEVICE.

AT THIS DELICATE JUNCTURE,

I SHALL TAKE NO CHANCE OF ANYTHING GOING WRONG.

I WILL LEAD THE SEARCH FOR THAT FINAL INGREDIENT MYSELF.

PARANOID FOOL.

WE'VE WON, I TELL YOU.

IT'LL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO COMPLETE THE SURRENDER OPERATION.

THEN I WILL --

I CRUSHED THEM!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ] THEY'RE FINISHED!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

WE MUST STOP THESE EVIL MEN, RAMAR.

IF NOT, THEY WILL ENSLAVE OTHERS AS THEY HAVE OUR PEOPLE.

GIVE ME BUT ONE OPPORTUNITY, ONE UNGUARDED MOMENT,

AND I WILL REPAY THE SWINE.

THIS IS MY MOMENT OF TRIUMPH, AND I'M NOT HAVING ANY FUN.

YOU, SLAVE, COME HERE AND AMUSE ME.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A SHOW OF SPIRIT

TO ADD SPICE TO THE CONTEST.

[ SCREAMING ]

NOW, LET'S SEE.

WHO OR WHAT SHALL I HAVE YOU FIGHT?

I'VE GOT IT! [ LAUGHING EVILLY ]

WONDERFUL! DELIGHTFUL!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

WHEREVER YOU ARE, DUKE,

YOU MUST NOT LET THE EVIL ONES VANQUISH YOU.

YOU MUST FIGHT ON.

I PRAY THAT YOU WILL.

IT'S NOW MY DUTY TO ASK ALL THE G.I. JOE TEAM MEMBERS

TO REPORT TO THE --

WILL YOU GET OUT OF THE PICTURE, GUNG-HO?

UH, SORRY, STALK.

THEY'RE KIND OF CUTE, YOU KNOW?

BETTER THAN AN ELECTRIC TRAIN SET.

VROOM, VROOM!

RELAX, STALKER.

YOU WEREN'T TRANSMITTING WHEN G.H. TOOK A PLAY BREAK.

AS FAR AS COBRA KNOWS,

WE'RE TAKING THEIR SURRENDER ULTIMATUM SERIOUSLY.

PHEW! [ CHUCKLES ]

I HOPE I WAS AS CONVINCING AS THESE MODELS.

MY ONLY PREVIOUS ACTING EXPERIENCE

WAS PLAYING A PUMPKIN IN THE SCHOOL THANKSGIVING SHOW.

YOU WERE GREAT.

BREAKER DISCOVERED COBRA

WAS INTERCEPTING OUR ULTRA-SECRET TRANSMISSION,

AND YOU GAVE THEM THE SHOW WE WANTED THEM TO SEE.

Duke: WELL, LET'S HOPE IT BUYS US ENOUGH TIME TO GET THAT THIRD ELEMENT.

Gung-Ho: OKAY, LISTEN UP!

OPERATION BIG LIFT IS ABOUT TO GET UNDERWAY!

YO, JOE!

GET DOWN TOO CLOSE TO THAT LAVA, AND IT'S BARBECUE CITY.

HEY! WOW! FAR OUT!

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

WHAT DO YOU THINK I SEE, FOR PETE'S SAKE?

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

IF I SAY, "HEY! WOW! FAR OUT!" I MUST'VE FOUND IT, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

IT'S THE METEORITE!

WE'RE THERE!

THIS IS IT!

MAN, LOOK AT THAT BABY!

THAT'S THE PAYOFF!

FANTASTIC!

OKAY, BY THE NUMBERS. MOVE!

WE'RE GONNA LIFT THAT SUCKER.

CHECK YOUR CABLES AND ELECTROMAGNETS,

AND FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS.

YEEHAW!

THIS IS WILDER THAN A BRONCO WITH A CACTUS SADDLE!

MY OLD DADDY TAUGHT ME HOW TO DIP A NET

TO CATCH A MESS OF BLUE CRAB.

THIS IS ABOUT THE SAME,

EXCEPT THIS OLD CRAB WEIGHS ABOUT 10 TONS!

HEEHAW!

WE GOT TO LIFT IT QUICK, OR THE MAGNETS WILL MELT.

CONTACT!

-GOT IT! -REEL HIM IN!

-YO, JOE! -YEAH!

LIFT THAT SUCKER!

GO, MAN, GO!

-YEAH! -OUT OF SIGHT!

WAY TO GO, SCARLETT!

WE'RE LOSING HER!

LOWER MORE CABLES ON THE DOUBLE!

THIS IS ALL WE GOT, MAN!

IF IT DON'T WORK, WE'RE COOKED! AND I'M TALKING COOKED!

-YO, JOE! -YO, JOE! -YO, JOE! -YO, JOE!

-GO, GO, GO! -GO, GO, GO! -GO, GO, GO! -GO, GO, GO!

COBRA!

Destro: CUT THE CABLES!

COBRA!

SCARLETT: They've cut the meteorite loose!

LOOK OUT! IT'S GONNA HIT!

LET'S HEAR IT FOR BIG FEET!

WE HAVE ONLY ONE TARGET, AND THAT IS THE VOLCANO ITSELF.

CONCENTRATE YOUR FIRE AT THIS LEVEL,

JUST BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE LAVA IN THE CRATER.

WHEN WE BREAK THROUGH,

THE LAVA SPILL WILL TRIGGER AN ERUPTION --

AN ERUPTION WHICH WILL POP THE METEORITE INTO THE SKY

LIKE A CHAMPAGNE CORK.

THEN WE'LL NET IT BEFORE G.I. JOE REALIZES THEY'VE LOST.

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

WHAT CAN I DO?

OHH. COME IN, DESTRO!

I DEMAND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!

DESTRO, THE G.I. JOE FORCE HAS NOT SURRENDERED YET!

REPEAT -- NOT SURRENDERED! OVER!

YAHHH! I WILL WAIT NO LONGER!

MY PATIENCE HAS ENDED!

I DEMAND YOUR SURRENDER AT ONCE, OR I SHALL DESTROY NEW YORK!

OUR TOTAL FORCE HASN'T ASSEMBLED YET.

YOU SURELY DON'T WANT A PARTIAL SURRENDER.

SILENCE!

HOW LONG TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS?

AN HOUR AND A HALF, TWO HOURS AT THE MOST, IF WE'RE LUCKY.

YOU WILL NOT BE LUCKY, FOOL!

YOU WILL BE VANQUISHED!

THAT IS ALL!

BAH! THEY HAVE TAKEN FAR TOO MUCH TIME AS IT IS.

FRANKLY, COMMANDER, I SUSPECT SOME SORT OF TRICK!

SO DO I.

TELL ME, DO WE HAVE ACTUALLY ENOUGH CATALYTIC ELEMENTS

TO DISINTEGRATE NEW YORK AS I THREATENED?

I DO NOT KNOW.

WE HAVE SCAVENGED DESTRO'S ORIGINAL SHIPMENT CONTAINERS

AND FOUND ONLY A HANDFUL OF THE METEORITE METAL.

IT WILL HAVE TO SUFFICE.

I'M THROUGH WAITING FOR G.I. JOE'S SURRENDER.

DESTROY NEW YORK.

THE HOMING DEVICES ARE IN PLACE.

DESTROY IT NOW!

I HEAR AND OBEY!

[ BEEPING ]

IT COST US OUR THIRD ELEMENT...

BUT IT WORKED!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

IT'S HEADED RIGHT FOR US!

THIS IS THE END!

-IT'S CURTAINS! -OH, NO!

THE END OF THE WORLD!

ANY SECOND NOW.

WHAT?!

[ CHEERING ]

YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, SLAVE!

YOU'LL PAY DEARLY!

NEW YORK STILL STANDS!

MY THREAT HAS BEEN PROVEN EMPTY!

OUR FUTURE RESTS WITH DESTRO NOW.

UNLESS HE BRINGS BACK THE METEORITE,

OUR MASS DEVICE WILL BE USELESS!

Destro: MAINTAIN YOUR FIRE!

WE ARE ALMOST THROUGH TO THE LAVA LAKE.

UH-OH. WHAT WE GOT HERE IS A GAME OF DIRTY POOL,

WITH A CAPITAL "D" FOR "DESTRO"!

HE'S UNDERCUTTING THE LAVA IN THE CRATER!

Airborne: WHEN THAT CRATER WALL BREAKS,

WE COULD HAVE US ONE HUMONGOUS BLOW-UP.

IT'LL SEND THAT OLD METEORITE PUSHING OUT FASTER

THAN A FIELD MOUSE AT A TOMCAT PICNIC.

IF THAT METEORITE GETS INTO FREEFALL, WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE.

EYE IN THE SKY, GOING HIGH!

Gung-Ho: GUNG-HO JOE IS GOING LOW.

YO, JOE!

YEEHAW!

BOGEYS AT 6:00! BOGEYS AT 12:00 HIGH!

COBRA!

DON'T LET THEM INTERFERE WITH OUR MISSION.

Maintain laser fire at all targets.

WAY TO GO, JOE!

DUKE! GUNG-HO!

COBRA'S GOT A CATCHER'S MITT COMING IN AT 15,000 FEET!

Destro: WE'VE DONE IT!

FALL BACK AND PREPARE RETRIEVAL NET.

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

Gung-Ho: IT'S MAYDAY FOR THE MOUNTAIN! LOOK OUT!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ] PERFECT. PERFECT!

IT'S A HIGH FLY BALL TO DEEP CENTER FIELD.

LET'S TRY A SHOESTRING CATCH!

NOW WE HAVE IT.

STEADY...STEADY...

YO, JOE!

BRAVO, COBRA! WELL-CAUGHT!

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

Breaker: THEY HAULED IT IN! SHOOT!

IT'S YOUR PARTY NOW, G.H.

THE JOINT IS JUMPIN', BABE!

PREPARE TO REPEL BOARDING PARTY!

YO, JOE!

GO-O-O!

YO, JOE!

GERONIMO!

[ GROWLING ]

[ GROWLING ]

DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!

YO, JOE!

Scarlett: DESTRO!

I'LL BRING HIM IN!

THE MOPPING UP'S COMPLETE, EXCEPT FOR DESTRO.

SCARLETT WAS ON HIS TAIL!

[ BEEPING ]

THEY'VE FOUND ME.

AAH!

THAT WAS SCARLETT'S THERMAL ARROW!

NO FURTHER.

IF YOU SHOOT, YOU'LL HIT YOUR FRIEND.

STEP INTO THE CLEAR, DESTRO, IF YOU'VE GOT THE GUTS!

[ LAUGHS ] I HAVE NO TIME FOR CHILDISH GAMES.

I INTEND TO DELIVER

A HEALTHY SUPPLY OF THE METEORITE TO COBRA.

AND SCARLETT WILL ACCOMPANY ME.

I BELIEVE THE EXPRESSION IS, "TILL WE MEET AGAIN."

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

THE STEEL-SKULLED BUM'S GOT THE METEORITE AND SCARLETT,

AND THERE'S NOT A THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT!

FOR THE MOMENT, NO, THERE ISN'T.

BUT WE NOW HOLD THE LAST REMAINING PORTION

OF THE FINAL CATALYTIC ELEMENT WE NEED

TO MAKE OUR MASS DEVICE WORK.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE, FOR SCARLETT'S AND ALL OUR SAKES,

THAT WE'RE NOT TOO LATE.

WE'LL BREAK YOUR SPIRIT SOON ENOUGH, MY DEAR SCARLETT.

SEEING YOU A GROVELING SLAVE

WILL PROVIDE ME WITH GREAT PLEASURE.

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

GROVELING BEFORE A MEATBALL LIKE YOU

ISN'T MY STYLE, DESTRO.

YOU'RE A PARADOX, SCARLETT.

YOU LITTLE FOOL!

YOU'VE FUSED THE CONTROLS! WE'RE BOTH FINISHED!

IN OUR NEXT EPISODE,

SCARLETT BECOMES A SLAVE TO COBRA,

AND SHE AND SELENA LEAD A SLAVE REBELLION...

...WHILE DR. VANDERMEER COMPLETES THE MASS DEVICE

AND THE JOE TEAM LOCKS ITS DEADLY COMBAT

WITH COBRA AND DESTRO.

YEEHAW!

YOUR TURN, SNAKE EYES!

THIS IS ALL DESTRO'S FAULT!

BUT MY GENIUS SHALL SAVE US.

ALL IN "A STAKE IN THE SERPENT'S HEART,"

THE FINAL EXCITING EPISODE OF "G.I. JOE."
