[ WIND HOWLING ]

DOWN THERE, SEE IT?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? START THE MASER!

[ BEEP ]

[ MASER HUMMING ]

NOTHING'S HAPPENING.

INCREASE POWER IMMEDIATELY!

YES, COBRA COMMANDER.

[ POWERING UP ]

[ MEN GROANING ]

[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]

I WARNED YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN.

MY ANCESTORS GUARDED THIS PIT FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL.

DID YOU THINK YOU COULD SUCCEED IN COMMUNICATING WITH IT?

SERPENTOR HIMSELF APPROVED OF THIS PROJECT.

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT PERHAPS HE GAVE IT TO YOU

AS BUSYWORK TO KEEP YOU OCCUPIED?

I AM AWARE,

BUT WHAT SERPENTOR DOES NOT KNOW

IS THAT THE ULTIMATE JEST WILL BE ON HIM.

Reporter [ ON TV ]: THE G.I. JOE ANTI-TERRORIST UNIT

SCORED ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTORY TODAY

IN THEIR ON-GOING STRUGGLE AGAINST COBRA.

SHOWN HERE IN ACTION

ARE GENERAL HAWK AND SGT. SLAUGHTER

LEADING AN ATTACK AGAINST A FORTIFIED COBRA OUTPOST

IN NORTHERN AFRICA.

SHIPWRECK TO DIAL TONE.

SEND IN THE REST OF THE FLEET.

WE'VE CAUGHT US A COBRA SUB.

WE'RE GETTING CHEWED UP OUT HERE.

Cutter: WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? STATIC, CUTTER.

IT'S SO BAD I BARELY HEARD SHIPWRECK'S REPORT

ABOUT THE CAPTURED COBRA SUB.

CAPTURED COBRA SUB?

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

All: YO-O-O, JOE!

[ COUGHING ]

THANKS, BEACH HEAD.

JUST WHAT MY EQUIPMENT NEEDED -- ANOTHER BATH!

YOUR GEAR SHOULD BE WATERPROOF.

Roadblock: ♪ I'VE DONE MY TIME, PAID ALL MY DUES ♪

♪ AH, HONEY, GOT THE RE-ENLISTMENT BLUES ♪

AH, QUIT YOUR GROUSING, ROADBLOCK.

YOUR WERE THE FIRST ONE IN LINE THIS MORNING

WITH YOUR RE-UP PAPERS.

[ LAUGHS ]

AIN'T IT THE TRUTH?

HEY, DIAL TONE, READY TO GO WITH US?

YES. I AM.

All: NO, YOU'RE NOT.

Man: CHRONICALLY UNHIP.

HOPELESS, DIAL TONE. HOPELESS.

LOOK, COME WITH ME.

MAYBE WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR WARDROBE

WITH YOUR RE-ENLISTMENT BONUS.

Flint: I'M AFRAID NOT, ROADBLOCK.

ROADBLOCK, COULD I SPEAK TO DIAL TONE IN PRIVATE?

UH...YEAH, SURE.

I'M NOT GONNA BEAT AROUND THE BUSH, DIAL TONE.

YOUR RE-ENLISTMENT APPLICATION HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN.

NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT, WELL, THE BOARD FELT

YOUR RECENT PERFORMANCE AS A JOE WASN'T UP TO STANDARD.

LOOK, DON'T TAKE IT TOO HARD.

AT LEAST YOU MADE IT AS A JOE FOR A SHORT WHILE.

MOST GUYS DON'T EVEN ACCOMPLISH THAT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

MR. MORELLI, MAY I COME IN, PLEASE?

I'LL COME STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.

MY NAME IS CHIPPER DOOGAN.

MY COMPANY KNOWS ALL ABOUT YOUR EXPERTISE AS A G.I. JOE.

YOU ARE FREE, AREN'T YOU?

YEAH. YOU MIGHT SAY THAT.

DISCHARGED, ACTUALLY.

GOOD.

WE WANT YOU TO DESIGN A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR US,

A SYSTEM ADHERING TO EXTREMELY STRICT OPERATING PARAMETERS.

IT WILL BE THE GREATEST CHALLENGE OF YOUR CAREER.

ARE YOU UP TO IT?

HUH? Y-YEAH, SURE. I GUESS SO. WHY NOT?

GOOD. YOU'LL START FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

I'LL SEND MY CAR FOR YOU.

CIAO.

[ LAUGHS ]

YAHOO! I GOT A JOB!

[ LAUGHS ]

WE GOT HIM.

HE STARTS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

AND THE VOICE ANALYZER?

IT WORKED PERFECTLY.

SEE? HE ISN'T LYING.

HE REALLY DID GET KICKED OUT OF THE JOES.

EXCELLENT.

WELL, WITH DIAL TONE WORKING FOR ME,

SERPENTOR IS AS GOOD AS FINISHED.

[ LAUGHS MANIACALLY ]

Dial Tone: HEY! THE DELIVERIES FROM THE VILLAGE PUB

ARE FINALLY HERE.

BRING ANY STEAK-AND-KIDNEY PIE?

ALL YOU CAN EAT, YOUNG FELLA.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU I'D SEND MY MEN AROUND FOR THE FOOD.

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DELICATE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.

WE DON'T WANT IT MARRED BY LOCAL INTERFERENCE.

COME ALONG, DIAL TONE.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU WASTING TIME WITH THEM AGAIN.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL WITH OUR PROJECT.

THIS IS CHECKMATE.

CHECKMATE TO BIRD ONE. COME IN, BIRD ONE.

THIS IS BIRD ONE. I READ YOU, CHECKMATE.

WELL, DIAL TONE SEEMS TO BE OKAY, GENERAL HAWK.

COBRA HAS HIM WORKING ON SOME PROJECT

IN THE RUINS OF DESTRO'S MANSION.

GOOD. THEN THEY DON'T SUSPECT THE RUSE WE PULLED ON THEM?

NO. BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER

ABOUT LYING TO DIAL TONE.

IF DIAL TONE KNEW WE WANTED HIM

IN COBRA'S OPERATION, THEY'D FIND OUT.

COBRA COULD HAVE USED A VOICE ANALYZER TO DETECT THE TRUTH.

KEEP AN EYE ON HIM, FLINT. OVER AND OUT.

DID YOU GET A BEARING ON THE JOES IN THE VILLAGE?

CHECK. LET'S GO.

THERE HE IS, MATES! GRAB HIM!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

GIVE HIM A COUPLE OF GOOD ONES FOR ME, MATES.

I DON'T WANT TO RUIN ME DRESS.

[ MOANS ]

NEXT TIME YOU SEND A MESSAGE, FLINT, TRY CARRIER PIGEON.

ZARANA, FLINT IS GOING TO KEEP SENDING

GLOWING REPORTS TO GENERAL HAWK.

IN A PIG'S EYE, SNAKE BREATH.

OH. I WOULDN'T DREAM OF ASKING YOU, FLINT,

BUT MY TELE-VIPERS HAVE COOKED UP A DEVICE THAT...

[ AS FLINT ] MODULATES MY VOICE.

I'LL MAKE ALL YOUR SCHEDULED REPORTS, FLINT, DARLING --

ONLY I'LL REPORT NOTHING BUT FAILURE.

HEH-HEH. SO I CAN CONTACT THE CREATURE IN THE PIT

LONG BEFORE THE JOES OR SERPENTOR ARE THE WISER.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY THINK

THIS IS A BIG WASTE OF MONEY, CHIPPER.

THERE CAN'T BE ANYTHING LIVING DOWN THERE

TO COMMUNICATE WITH.

DON'T LET THAT BOTHER YOU.

YOU JUST WORRY ABOUT GETTING THE COMLINK SETUP.

UNDERSTAND?

[ EXPLOSIONS ]

[ RUMBLING ]

UH-OH! TRIPLE-LEVEL FEEDBACK!

GOT TO SHUT THE MODULE DOWN!

Dial Tone: BETTER GET BACK!

ALL RIGHT!

RUN! LOOK OUT!

THAT'S JUST GREAT.

IT'S NOT A TOTAL LOSS.

I GOT ENOUGH DATA BEFORE WE SHORTED OUT

TO BE ABLE TO DO IT AGAIN AND, THIS TIME, WITHOUT FAIL.

Zarana [ AS FLINT ]: WELL, NOTHING TO REPORT TODAY, GENERAL HAWK.

DIAL TONE'S EQUIPMENT SHORTED OUT,

AND IT'LL PROBABLY BE WEEKS BEFORE THEY TRY AGAIN.

Hawk: OKAY, FLINT. THANKS FOR THE INFO. KEEP US POSTED.

OVER AND OUT.

[ MUFFLED SHOUTS ]

WELL?

WELL, BAD NEWS, HAWK.

WHEN FLINT MISSED HIS LAST CHECK-IN,

I RIGGED UP OUR OWN VOICE ANALYZER.

THAT'S NOT FLINT'S VOICE.

IT'S ZARANA USING SOME SORT OF VOICE MODULATOR.

BLAST! ONCE COBRA COMMANDER GETS WHAT HE WANTS,

DIAL TONE AND FLINT ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD.

WE'RE MOUNTING A RESCUE OPERATION RIGHT NOW.

[ ALARM BLARING ]

WE'RE LOSING THE DAYLIGHT, DIAL TONE.

I WANT TO SEE RESULTS A.S.A.P.

THEN GET UNDER COVER. I'M READY TO START.

[ CREATURE GROWLS ]

Creature: WHY HAVE YOU DISTURBED MY SLEEP?

[ CREATURE GROWLS ]

FOR 10 TIMES 10,000 YEARS, I HAVE SLEPT,

AWAKENED ONLY BY YOUR SACRIFICES.

SUCCESS.

[ AS ZARANA ] OOH. I'LL SAY, MATE.

Creature: NOW YOU DISTURB ME

WITH NO OFFERING?!

[ CREATURE GROWLS ]

OHH. I'M SHUTTING THE GEAR DOWN PRONTO.

THIS AIN'T PART OF THE PROGRAM.

NOT BLOODY LIKELY, YOU STINKING DINGO!

[ BOTH GRUNTING ]

IF ANYTHING'S HAPPENED TO DIAL TONE,

I'LL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF.

[ STRAINED VOICE ] ARE YOU CRAZY?!

WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN THAT PIT?

UHH! THAT DID IT.

YOU -- YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!

ZARANA!

[ GRUNTING ]

[ GRUNTS ]

Cobra Commander: THANK YOU, DIAL TONE.

I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

HUH? UHH!

I SEEK A BOON, O ANCIENT AND MIGHTY ONE.

I OFFER A PACT FOR ALL ETERNITY.

DESTROY A MAN FOR ME, A SINGLE MAN,

AND I PROMISE SACRIFICES FOR YOU

UNDREAMT OF IN ALL YOUR CENTURIES OF SLEEP.

[ CREATURE GROWLS ]

Creature: ALL RIGHT. AGREED.

BUT WHO IS THIS SINGLE MAN THAT YOU FEAR SO MUCH?

THE ONE KNOWN AS SERPENTOR.

[ RUMBLING ]

[ GROWLING ]

I AM UNLEASHED!

GOOD LORD! WHAT IS THAT THING?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GUESSING IT AIN'T ON OUR SIDE.

[ GROWLING ]

Zarana: LOOK! JOE TOMAHAWKS!

PERFECT. PERFECT.

MORE SACRIFICES FOR THE CREATURE.

NOTHING CAN STOP IT NOW!

[ ROARING ]

ALL JOE TOMAHAWKS, AIM FOR THE THROAT.

[ ROARING, SCREAMING ]

[ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]

FLINT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

[ MUFFLED SHOUTING ]

AAH! I WAS KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU.

ON ME? WHY?

N-NEVER MIND.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT LATER.

[ CREATURE ROARING, SCREAMING ]

LIFT TICKET, THERE'S DIAL TONE AND FLINT.

LET'S PICK THEM UP.

[ ROARING ]

Hawk: GET ABOARD!

[ CREATURE ROARING, SCREAMING ]

WELL, THAT TEARS IT.

NEXT STOP -- COBRA ISLAND.

DIAL TONE, CAN YOU BREAK IN

ON COBRA'S ULTRA-SECURE FREQUENCY AND CONTACT SERPENTOR?

SURE I CAN, BUT WHY?

TO WARN HIM THAT CREATURE IS GOING TO ATTACK.

BUT WHY BOTHER?

WHY NOT LET THE CREATURE DESTROY SERPENTOR ONCE AND FOR ALL?

IT'S NOT SERPENTOR I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

THAT CREATURE IS A MENACE OF SUCH TREMENDOUS PROPORTIONS,

WE'LL NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET TO DESTROY IT --

EVEN COBRA'S.

REPORT ON THE NILE PROJECT, DESTRO.

WE'RE OPERATING AT 85% PEAK EFFICIENCY.

[ RINGING ]

SERPENTOR, THIS IS GENERAL HAWK.

I'VE GOT AN URGENT WARNING FOR YOU.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BEING KEPT A SECRET CHANNEL?

COBRA COMMANDER WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH HIS PROJECT.

THERE'S A 50-STORY CREATURE ON ITS WAY TO MEET YOU.

COBRA COMMANDER? HA-HA!

IT WAS A FOOL'S ERRAND I SENT HIM ON.

HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY SUCCEED.

[ CREATURE ROARING, SCREAMING ]

WHAT? IMPOSSIBLE!

COBRA COMMANDER ACTUALLY SUCCEEDED?

ALL VIPERS TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!

THIS I COMMAND!

[ ALARM BLARING ]

[ CREATURE ROARING, SCREAMING ]

FIRE!

THAT'LL SLOW HIM DOWN!

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ CHEERING ] RUN!

Man 1: IT'S COMING! Man 2: HEAD FOR COVER!

Man 3: LOOK OUT!

Creature [ GROWLS ]: SERPENTOR!

[ HISSES ]

AH, NERTS!

COBRA'S DELIBERATELY JAMMING MY SIGNAL.

WHAT'S THIS?

Hawk: YOUR UNIFORM. WELCOME BACK, DIAL TONE,

AND THANKS FOR THE JOB WELL DONE.

YO-O-O, JOE!

[ SCREAMING ]

Creature: SERPENTOR!

HOW ARE WE DOING?

FOR ALL THE GOOD OUR LASERS ARE DOING,

WE MIGHT AS WELL BE SPITTING AT IT.

Creature: [ GROWLS ] SERPENTOR!

[ GROWLS ]

WHAT DOES IT WANT?

WHAT? HA.

I WOULD SAY IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS.

SEAL THE TERRORDROME.

THIS CREATURE SHALL NOT HAVE ME.

Lift Ticket: I WONDER IF SERPENTOR BELIEVES US YET.

OFFHAND, I'D SAY YES.

[ CREATURE SCREAMS ]

QUICKLY. CHANNEL THE MAIN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

THROUGH THE OUTER WALL OF THE TERRORDROME.

WE'LL ELECTROCUTE IT!

[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]

Creature: SERPENTOR!

[ CRACKLING CONTINUES ]

IT'S -- IT'S NO USE, SERPENTOR.

THE CREATURE IS TOO STRONG FOR US.

THEN I MUST LURE THE CREATURE AWAY FROM THE TERRORDROME

IN ORDER TO SAVE COBRA.

[ CREATURE SCREAMS ]

IF YOU WANT TO FACE AN EMPEROR, FOLLOW ME!

SERPENTOR!

THERE IT GOES,

AND WE WERE NO MORE EFFECTIVE AGAINST IT THAN GNATS.

GENERAL HAWK, IT'S DESTRO CALLING FOR YOU.

Destro: GENERAL HAWK, ONCE UNLEASHED, THERE'S NO PHYSICAL WAY

TO FORCE THE CREATURE BACK INTO THE PIT.

Hawk: THEN HOW DO WE HANDLE IT?

Destro: LISTEN CAREFULLY.

MY ANCESTORS HAD A SECRET CHANT THEY USED

BEFORE SENDING A SACRIFICE DOWN THE SHAFT.

BY USING THE CHANT, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO LURE IT

AWAY FROM COBRA ISLAND AND INTO A DEEP SEA TRENCH.

WELL, YOU KNOW US -- ANYTHING FOR A LAUGH.

LET'S GIVE IT A TRY.

[ CHANTING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

Creature: SERPENTOR!

HERE! HERE I AM!

FACE ME IF YOU DARE!

[ CHANTING ]

Serpentor: WHAT? THE JOES ARE BEHIND THIS AFTER ALL?

THEY SHALL PAY WITH THEIR LIVES.

Hawk: OKAY. WE GOT ITS ATTENTION.

NOW LET'S LURE IT AWAY FROM HERE.

NO! NOT THAT WAY!

IT'S A TRAP!

[ COBRA COMMANDER GROANS ]

YOU BIG SLITHERING CESSPIT!

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ] Men: SERPENTOR! SERPENTOR!

[ CREATURE GROWLS ]

[ CREATURE SCREAMS ]

Hawk: WE'RE OVER THE TRENCH. LET HER RIP!

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]

Serpentor: THE JOES ARE RESPONSIBLE

FOR THIS OUTRAGE UPON YOUR EMPEROR.

MAN YOUR FLIGHT PODS.

WE'LL ATTACK AND DRIVE THEM INTO THE SEA.

THIS I COMMAND!

All: AYE-AYE, SERPENTOR!

RELEASE DEPTH CHARGES.

All: COBRA!

THOSE IDIOTS! WE'RE TRYING TO HELP THEM.

JOES, DEFEND YOURSELVES!

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]

HAWK, WE DID IT!

THAT THING'S BURIED UNDER TONS OF MUD AND ROCK!

FUEL AND AMMO ALMOST GONE.

WE BARELY GOT ENOUGH TO REACH THE MAINLAND.

I HATE LEAVING A FIGHT UNFINISHED, BUT...

ATTENTION, ALL TOMAHAWKS!

RETURN TO MAINLAND.

REPEAT. RETURN TO MAINLAND.

Serpentor: COWARDS!

ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE BROUGHT YOU VICTORY!

[ CHEERING ]

ODD, ISN'T IT,

HOW THE JOES MANAGED TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CREATURE, HMM?

WHAT? OH. YES...VERY ODD.

VERY ODD, INDEED.

YOU KNOW, I PICKED UP SOME COBRA RADIO TRANSMISSIONS.

THEY CLAIMED THEY BEAT US.

YEAH. SURE HURTS WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD

THINKS YOU'RE A LOSER.

WELL, NOW WE KNOW HOW DIAL TONE MUST HAVE FELT.

WELL, AT LEAST WE KNOW WE THWARTED COBRA COMMANDER

AND TRAPPED THE CREATURE AGAIN.
