ATTENTION, NATIONS OF THE WORLD!

THIS IS COBRA COMMANDER.

IN THE LAST 12 HOURS,

COBRA HAS LAUNCHED AN ALL-OUT ATTACK

UPON YOUR ENERGY RESOURCES.

IN THE NORTH SEA,

COBRA RATTLERS

HAVE REDUCED YOUR OFFSHORE DRILLING STATIONS TO RUBBLE.

IN THE DESERT, OUR HISS BATTALIONS

HAVE HALTED PRODUCTION AT EVERY MAJOR OIL FIELD.

WE HAVE SEVERED VITAL LINKS IN THE ALASKAN PIPELINE.

OBSERVE THIS FLEET OF TANKERS

CARRYING SOUTH AMERICAN OIL TO THE U.S.

AND NOW WITNESS THE FINAL PHASE

OF COBRA'S PLAN TO STOP THE WORLD!

GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD, THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

SURRENDER CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONS TO COBRA,

OR FACE THE NIGHTMARISH PROSPECT OF A NEW DARK AGE!

COULD YOU TRACE THE TRANSMISSION, SPARKS?

SORRY, COLONEL, I TRIED,

BUT COBRA BOUNCED THAT TRANSMISSION OFF A SATELLITE.

THEN THEIR BASE COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Did you receive the transmission, Duke?

DUKE: Loud, clear, and ugly, Colonel Sharp.

Sparks, what about the tankers?

Where'd they go?

SEARCH ME, DUKE. THEY JUST EVAPORATED.

Scarlett: NO, THEY DIDN'T.

COBRA'S GOT A CLOAKING DEVICE THAT MAKES THEM INVISIBLE,

even to our most sensitive instruments.

AND THOSE TANKERS WERE THE WORLD'S LAST HOPE.

Without that oil,

every industrialized nation will be paralyzed.

Not if G.I. Joe can help it, Colonel.

Scarlett, we located a Cobra safe house on the West Coast.

Rose garden, white picket fence --

you'd never figure it for a Cobra hideout.

If there's a lead to those tankers there, I want it.

AND I LIKE A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.

YO-O-O, JOE!

DUKE: Leader Joe to Sharc One,

you fellas catch Cobra's little TV show?

Yeah, lousy acting, but the special effects weren't bad.

CAN THE COMEDY, TORPEDO.

DUKE: Cobra's got a floating base 50 miles due south

OF YOUR PRESENT POSITION.

TAKE IT OUT,

AND FIND ME A CLUE TO THOSE MISSING TANKERS.

HEY, PIECE OF FISH CAKE, DUKE.

LEAVE IT TO ME AND MR. WARMTH HERE.

YOU HAVE A PECULIAR SENSE OF HUMOR, MISTER.

-YO, JOE! -YO, JOE!

Cobra Commander: I COMMEND YOU, DESTRO.

YOUR CLOAKING DEVICE

HAS ASSURED COBRA'S COMPLETE AND FINAL VICTORY.

SO IT SEEMS.

BUT DO NOT PROCLAIM OUR TRIUMPH PREMATURELY.

EVEN NOW, THE FORCES OF G.I. JOE MAY BE MOVING AGAINST US.

[ LAUGHS ]

BUT FIRST, DESTRO, THEY MUST FIND US.

AND HOW LONG CAN THEY SEARCH THE GLOBE

BEFORE THEIR FUEL IS GONE?

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

YOU DISPLAY CONSIDERABLE CLEVERNESS,

MORE THAN I HAVE COME TO EXPECT.

BUT DESTRO DOES NOT CELEBRATE UNTIL HIS WARS ARE WON.

ATTACK! OPEN FIRE!

ATTACK! ATTACK! OPEN FIRE!

STAY IN YOUR SEAT, FUNNY MAN.

-[ GROANS ] -I TRIED TO WARN YA.

Take us back down, low over the water, and drop me off.

WHILE I FLIT AROUND UP HERE LIKE SOME TURBOCHARGED PELICAN?

NO. I'M A DIVER, TOO.

I'm more at home 50 fathoms down.

Yeah, well we'll wind up there permanently

if we don't cooperate.

Fine. We'll try it your way.

-HE'S ON US! -LOOK OUT!

JUMP!

SORRY. DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YA.

OH, NO.

[ GRUNTING ]

GOT TO MAKE THIS SHOT PERFECT.

EVACUATION PROCEDURES! WE'RE GOIN' DOWN!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

Good. The comedian did his job.

YOU'RE LATE, PAL.

PARTY'S BREAKIN' UP. EVERYBODY'S LEAVIN'.

NOT EVERYBODY.

Torpedo: SONIC RIFLES!

MY BRAIN'S DOING A HULA!

I HATE LOUD NOISES.

I LIKE IT QUIET DOWN HERE!

I SAID QUIET!

THAT'S BETTER.

THANKS, PAL. I OWE YOU ONE.

NO BIG DEAL. FORGET IT.

COME ON.

MAYBE THEY LEFT BEHIND A CLUE TO THOSE MISSING TANKERS.

ACE: Talk about your long shots.

Why are we scoutin' for tankers over the jungle?

THESE JUNGLES PRODUCE OIL AND DIAMONDS.

AND YOU SAW THE SPARKER ON THAT CLOAKING DEVICE.

TORPEDO: Sharc One to Leader Joe.

GO AHEAD, TORPEDO. I READ YOU.

Uh, remember that floating Cobra base?

It makes a real nifty aquarium.

-FIND ANYTHING ON THE TANKERS? -Zilch.

Even the goldfish swear they know nothin' about it.

[ BEEPING ]

Holy cow!

Cobra fighter, closing fast!

Hang on, Duke. I'm gonna try to beat the odds and lose 'em!

You're the ace, Ace. Do it.

Ace, climb!

It's too narrow! We can't get through!

ACE: Sure we can.

Relax. It wasn't as close as it looked.

Never convince me.

LOOK OUT! HE'S MAKING ANOTHER PASS!

ACE, YOU -- YOU OKAY?

EXCEPT FOR THE LETHAL WOUND TO MY PRIDE.

THAT BOZO ALMOST CASHED IN OUR CHIPS.

FORGET IT. YOU DID GOOD UP THERE.

WE'RE ALIVE, AREN'T WE?

Bludd: YES, FOR THE MOMENT, MATE.

BUT WE'LL FIX THAT STRAIGHTAWAY.

MAJOR BLUDD!

AND, MATES, MEET ME MOB, THE YANOMAMO.

INDIGENOUS THEY ARE.

TRIBE HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THIS FOREST FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

WHICH EXPLAINS HOW YOU COULD SUCKER THEM ONTO YOUR SIDE.

TILL YOU, THEY'D NEVER MET A SNAKE WITH LEGS.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE, DUKE!

THESE ARE COBRA'S ALLIES.

WE'VE WORKED OUT WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL

A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL EXCHANGE OF RESOURCES.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]

YEAH?

Woman: I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, SIR.

I'M LOST, AND I HAVEN'T ANY MONEY.

MIGHT I USE YOUR TELEPHONE?

BEAT IT, LADY. I'VE GOT NO TIME FOR --

OH, PLEASE. IT WON'T TAKE LONG.

I SAID BEAT IT, GRANNY!

OKAY, SONNY.

YO-O-O, JOE!

NO, THANKS. I'M ONLY HUNGRY FOR INFORMATION.

HAPPY LANDINGS, SPORT!

DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE SENSIBLE

AND SURRENDER?

NO, NOT QUITE.

AAH!

[ CHUCKLES ]

ANYONE AWAKE DOWN THERE?

PLAYTIME'S OVER, FRIEND. LET'S TALK TANKERS.

WHERE'S COBRA HIDING THEM?

ONLY COBRA COMMANDER AND DESTRO KNOW THAT.

YOU'RE SURE?

YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO ME, WOULD YOU?

NO! NO, NOT -- NOT WITH MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS.

THAT I CAN BELIEVE.

ATTENTION, NATIONS OF THE WORLD,

COBRA WILL TOLERATE NO FURTHER DELAYS!

YOUR INDECISION CARRIES A TERRIBLE PRICE,

AS I SHALL NOW DEMONSTRATE.

ANOTHER TANKER WILL BE DETONATED EACH HOUR,

DESTROYING YOUR PRECIOUS OIL

UNTIL COBRA'S DEMANDS ARE MET.

YAHOO!

WHAT THE DEVIL ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?

WE JUST LOST A TANKER!

BUT WE MAY HAVE WON THE FLEET!

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON A SCANNER

THAT DETECTS REMOTE-CONTROL FREQUENCIES,

AND COBRA'S GOT TO BE DETONATING THOSE SHIPS BY REMOTE CONTROL.

IF I CAN GET IT WORKING WITHIN AN HOUR,

THE NEXT TIME THEY BLOW A TANKER UP,

IT'LL LEAD US RIGHT TO 'EM!

WELL, DON'T JUST SIT AROUND EXPLAINING IT TO ME.

GET ON IT, MAN! YOU'VE GOT 56 MINUTES.

Duke: HOW'D YOU WIN THESE MEN OVER, BLUDD?

PROMISE THEM THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

WHEN COBRA CONQUERS THE WORLD?

Bludd: HARDLY ANYTHING SO GRANDIOSE.

THEY'RE AT WAR, YOU SEE, WITH A NEIGHBORING VILLAGE.

COBRA GAVE 'EM SUPERIOR FIREPOWER

SO'S THEY COULD WIN THAT WAR.

REAL GENEROUS OF YOU.

AND WHAT DOES COBRA GET IN RETURN?

NOTHING THESE LADS WILL MISS,

JUST THE MEANS TO STOP THE WORLD.

OHH!

DUKE!

[ GROANING ]

ACE!

HE MUST HAVE BEEN INJURED WHEN WE HIT THE WATER.

I THINK HE'S BLEEDING INTERNALLY.

WELL, NOW, WE CAN'T HAVE THAT, CAN WE?

HERE, YOU TWO, HOIST HIM UP!

COME ALONG.

HERE WE ARE. HOLD IT RIGHT HERE.

AH, COBRA'S CAPABLE OF MERCY, TOO, YOU KNOW.

YOU GOT ME WORD, ACE.

YOUR SUFFERIN'S ALMOST OVER.

PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY.

COME ON, LADS, HEAVE HO.

THE BOY'S SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH.

WAIT, THE PAIN'S GONE!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

[ GRUNTS ]

AAH!

GO EASY.

THEY'RE COBRA'S VICTIMS, WHETHER THEY KNOW IT OR NOT.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITIN' FOR, BLOOMIN' MOTHER'S DAY?

AFTER THOSE TWO!

SHARP: Sparks, how's it coming?

IT'S COMING.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL WORK, BUT IT'S COMING.

It's got to work.

-OH, NO. -Sparks, what happened?

NOT NOW, COLONEL! I'VE GOT WORK TO DO!

WELL, KICK MY TAIL SECTION!

Quiet!

COBRA'S TURNED THEIR VILLAGE INTO AN AIR BASE!

AND THAT'S NOT THE HALF OF IT.

LOOK. A DIAMOND MINE?

THAT'S WHERE COBRA GETS THE JEWELS

TO POWER THE CLOAKING DEVICE.

YOU GOT IT, WHIZ KID.

ONLY MAKE IT PAST TENSE. WE'RE GONNA --

INTRUDERS! G.I. JOE!

STOP THEM! DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE ALIVE!

ACE, GET ONE OF THOSE RATTLERS.

RADIO THE JOES AND TELL 'EM WHAT WE FOUND.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I'M GONNA SHUT DOWN THIS LITTLE OPERATION.

HALT! STAY WHERE YOU ARE!

EAT HOT KNUCKLES, SNAKE FACE!

I SURE HOPE MY TIMING'S AS GOOD AS I THINK IT IS.

YO-O-O, JOE!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

TAXI, MISTER?

[ CHUCKLES ]

COME ON, BABY, WORK!

SCARLETT, I JUST CONTACTED DUKE AND ACE.

DUKE, ACE, WHERE ARE YOU?

Are you all right?

ALIVE, WELL, AND 38,000 FEET OVER THE JUNGLE

IN AN ENEMY FIGHTER.

OH, NO. THE HOUR'S UP.

WHERE'S SPARKS?

DUKE: What's happening, Colonel?

IT'S ANOTHER COBRA TRANSMISSION, DUKE.

I'LL PATCH YOU IN.

SPARKS, WHERE ARE YOU!?

RIGHT HERE!

ONE FULL HOUR HAS PASSED,

WITH NO DECISION FROM YOUR SO-CALLED LEADERS.

WATCH AND SEE WHAT THEIR DELAY HAS COST YOU!

YAHOO! THE SECRET WORD IS PATAGONIA!

COBRA'S SECRET BASE IS OFF THE COAST OF PATAGONIA.

THE TANKERS ARE 200 MILES DUE EAST OF THE FALKLANDS.

I TRACED THE DETONATION SIGNAL. MY SCANNER WORKED!

WELL, QUIT PATAGONI-IN' YOURSELF ON THE BACK

AND MOBILIZE AN ASSAULT FORCE.

MOVE IT!

IT'S MOVING!

STILL NO WORD FROM THE WORLD'S GOVERNMENTS!

MY PATIENCE HAS ITS LIMITS!

INDEED.

AND IT APPEARS THEY HAVE BEEN REACHED.

OUR VICTORY WOULD HAVE BEEN SIMPLER HAD THEY SURRENDERED.

BUT LET US BE CONTENT TO DETONATE ALL THE OTHER TANKERS!

YES, AND TO WATCH AS CIVILIZATION CRASHES INTO RUIN!

[ EXPLOSION ]

NO! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

THEY CAN'T HAVE FOUND US!

ACTIVATE DEFENSE SYSTEMS!

-COBRA! -COBRA! -COBRA! -COBRA!

UH-OH. SKY'S GETTING MESSY.

CUTTER, CAN YOU HELP US OUT?

ON THE WAY! AMPHIBIOUS TROOPS, ASHORE!

YO-O-O, JOE!

DON'T BOTHER! THE RATTLER WILL GET HER!

COBRA THINKS WE'RE ONE OF THEIRS!

THEN HOW ABOUT WE SHUFFLE A WILD CARD INTO THE DECK?

SORRY. YOUR ESCAPE'S BEEN CANCELLED.

I ALMOST PUT A THERMAL ARROW THROUGH ONE OF YOUR ENGINES.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SIGNALED ME.

LET'S GO GET CHROME DOME.

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

YOUR INGENIOUS DETONATOR

LED G.I. JOE STRAIGHT TO OUR DOOR!

IMPOSSIBLE.

EVEN G.I. JOES DO NOT HAVE A SCANNER

CAPABLE OF TRACING MY DETONATOR SIGNAL.

Duke: WE DO NOW, DESTRO.

YO-O-O, JOE!

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO, CHROME CHEEKS.

THERE'S A NICE, DANK CELL WAITING FOR --

Cobra Commander: FOOL!

DID YOU TRULY THINK ME DEFENSELESS?

[ COUGHING ]

YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR STUPIDITY, DESTRO.

DUKE, YOU OKAY?

[ Coughing ] DESTRO! COBRA COMMANDER!

WHERE?

YOU'RE OKAY, AND THE TANKERS ARE SAFE.

THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT.

YEAH, WE'LL NAIL 'EM NEXT TIME, DUKE.

Scarlett: DON'T FEEL BAD, DUKE.

WE GOT THE JOB DONE, EVEN IF THOSE CREEPS DID GET AWAY.

YEAH, RIGHT.

WELL, MAY AS WELL GET BACK TO BASE, HUH?

MAY AS WELL.

OR YOU COULD TAKE ME TO DINNER AND A MOVIE

NOW THAT EVERYTHING'S WORKING AGAIN.

NOW YOU'RE COOKIN' WITH GAS.

I JUST HOPE WE CAN FIND A PARKING PLACE.
