Thank God.
El Presidente is on a roll.
His numbers are up.
And I'm not just talking about his age.
Now, I'm not gonna call our Commander-in-Chief old.
Actually, he called me the other day for some advice.
- Good evening. - Good evening.
He wanted to hook up the nation's nuclear arsenal
to the Clapper.
I'm sorry, ma'am, you're...
Late, I know.
Imagine the army it takes to make me look like this.
Forgive me. That's an army I'd like to enlist in.
Speaking of lists,
would you like to explain why you're not on ours?
Here she is. Chief of Staff.
Enjoy your evening, Miss Vandervoort.
I'm in.
Roger that. Standing by.
Jaye?
You keep your head down. Be safe.
Mr Carville was nice enough to mention
one of my passions. Nuclear disarmament.
In just days,
the leaders of the world's eight nuclear nations
will gather at historic Fort Sumter
for a nuclear summit.
But before the Atomic Eight break bread,
it's our turn.
Thank you, James. Thank you so much.
Mr President. Amy Vandervoort, Fox News.
Fox, of course.
That's why you look so "fair and balanced."
Very cute. But I was actually hoping to have a...
Dance?
I was going to say, quote.
Okay, here's a quote.
The world will change after my nuclear summit.
How about we dance?
I really, I don't dance.
Sorry.
Thank you, Mr President. You gave me what I need.
But I really have to make my deadline.
- It's been a pleasure. - Thank you.
How are you?
Good, sir.
I got a strand of hair from his jacket. I hope it's enough.
Come on.
Copy that.
Standing by for I.D.
All units, setting condition orange. Stand by.
I don't take no for an answer.
Almost there.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Zartan?
Jaye, get out of there now.
Oh, my God.
We have an unauthorised I.D. She's a Joe.
We have a Joe on the premises.
Jaye.
Jaye, now.
I'm out.
He's on his way down. This is your only chance.
Roger that, Jaye. I got it from here.
Block? You only get one shot at this.
One in the chamber.
Block? Block, where are you?
I want to see that face.
The one where you realise today's the day.
It's the face all those pretty little Joes had in the desert
when I lit them all up like fireworks!
I really want to see that face.
There it is.
If Cobra and Zartan are in the White House,
then the world is at stake.
Storm Shadow.
You will tell us Cobra's endgame,
or die
by the same sword you once used to kill our master.
Your sword,
given to you by our beloved Hard Master.
Do you deny that your envy and hatred drove you to shed
the Hard Master's blood?
It's possible to feel so much hate
you stop feeling it at all.
Like a fish not knowing it's in water.
But my path was chosen for me
by my enemy
who framed me for killing the Hard Master.
And my friends
who believed it.
Why defend yourself to men too blind to see?
That is the Hard Master's blood.
But that is not...
Wait!
...my sword.
Arashikage steel does not break.
I have asked myself over and over
who despised me enough to destroy my life?
I am sorry, Storm Shadow.
But who would stand to gain the most by framing you for this crime?
Your young adversary who chased you away?
Or the man into whose arms you were chased.
Someone who welcomed you,
showed you kindness.
He needed me.
For who I would become.
A warrior of great skill and anger.
The man who betrayed me was capable of great ingenuity,
violence,
but most of all,
disguise.
Zartan.
Yes.
Tell us what he and Cobra have planned
so we can destroy our common enemy
together.
Thanks.
If my dad could see me now...
What are you talking about?
He wouldn't believe it.
Why?
Third generation military.
Desperately wanted a fourth, and
my mom had me.
Well, he must be real proud of you, then.
He didn't believe in female soldiers.
I finally asked him why. He said
he didn't want to put his life in the hands of a woman.
I enlisted the next day.
Spent the next seven years
trying to outrank him so he'd have to salute me.
Did it work?
He died before I got the chance.
I'm sorry.
You know, if it's any sort of a consolation,
I'm actually gonna miss the red.
You look real nice.
That was for the tax hike.
Like you pay taxes.
Ain't always about me.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
We still need the man.
Besides, we've grown close.
Is Storm Shadow in?
Don't you worry about him. He'll be more than ready.
I'm not too impressed with your Cabinet.
No confirmation hearings, that's what you get.
Enough!
I'll take it from here.
He who controls this briefcase,
controls the U.S. Nuclear arsenal
and the fate of humanity.
Open your eyes, Mr Ex-President.
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
Open up.
Zeus is ready.
We just need one final piece of the puzzle.
Well done.
History will stand in judgement.
Not of me. Of you.
What do we got, Jaye?
Zartan's entire focus has been this nuclear summit.
It has to be the key to whatever he's planning.
All right. Well, then that's our target.
Yeah.
Guys, move.
I think I'm faster than you, Snake Eyes.
Damn Ninjas.
Good to see you, brother.
Jaye.
Jinx.
Back up.
He's with us.
I am not with you.
But for this once,
I am not against you.
How many of our men has he killed?
We're supposed to fight with him?
The leaders of the world will gather tomorrow. It's a trap.
Storm is the only one who knows Cobra's plan
inside and out. He can help us find a way to stop it.
But we have to work together.
All right.
Let's move.
Merry Christmas.
Makes you wonder about your neighbours.
Nice.
Open up that couch.
Anything?
I brought my own.
Nice.
Yeah, that'll work.
Hey.
That one's mine.
This really is Patton's gun, isn't it?
Gift from his family.
What an honour.
You bet.
I was actually thinking about something a little more your size.
Try not to scratch her up.
Idles a little rough in neutral.
I ain't gonna be in neutral.
Hoo-ah.
What about you?
DOD says I can't come out of retirement.
They didn't say anything about reenlisting.
Reporting for duty, Sergeant Major.
I'd like to bring a couple friends of mine.
Colton's team, it's our honour.
You guys take the perimeter.
Flint, Jaye, Snake, you guys take the flank.
Jinx and Storm, Trojan Horse.
Zartan will be holding the briefcase.
Storm will be the closest man to him.
But he can't move until we're all in position.
Everyone keep your eye on the prize.
We secure the football, we secure the world.
Snake, how's all that sound?
That's what I thought.
Okay, wait. Hold on a second.
We still have enemy armour here, here, and here.
Right?
These tanks survive, we don't.
Leave the tanks to me.
General?
Call me Joe.
- Anything I missed? - No.
Rock solid. My orders?
The President.
- Brenda's with my team. - Roger that.
Does Brenda get a vote?
Negative.
You need a pen?
I need your help.
All right.
Let's kick that ass! Hoo-ah!
Hoo-ah!
A historic day for the President of the United States as he meets with...
This afternoon, the President is meeting with the leaders
of the eight nuclear powers.
Never before has a President been so bold
to call the leaders of the world together...
These are unprecedented nuclear talks
that, frankly, most believed would never happen.
You can bet security is at its highest...
We may be closer to a nuclear-free world than we have ever been.
I'll say it again.
The world is safer with a nuclear presence.
I'm sure your electorate will be happy by our final proposal.
50% reduction by 2016.
There are a lot of leaders in this room.
But only one leader of the free world.
And he,
I, stay with me,
asked you here with the goal of universal disarmament.
Nuclear zero.
Now, I was prepared to cajole to get what I want.
I'm now at threaten.
Each of you will clear out his nuclear closet immediately.
Failure to participate will be considered an act of war.
You're joking, of course.
This summit is over.
Then this is it.
This is it, boys.
This country is at war.
With you and you and you and you and you and you.
Delta team in position. Echo, you're a go.
This is Echo. Beginning assault.
The U.S. Nuclear arsenal
is capable of destroying each of your countries 14 times over.
Fifteen, in the case of North Korea, just to be sure.
And all
at the push
of a button.
It's true. Yeah!
Yeah, I pressed it.
You have lost your mind!
It's all relative.
You got three minutes to decide.
- You got next watch? - Maintain radio silence.
We cannot, we will not leave a legacy of acquiescence!
Bring the briefcase.
Don't do this!
There can be no winners!
High score.
Let history record who was responsible for this madness.
Launch.
Eyes on the Emerald City.
Jaye and Colton, you're a go for PO TUS.
You all right?
Yeah. You all right?
My cholesterol's a little high.
Jaye and General Colton. Checkpoint neutralised.
You're on your own.
Well, the good news is, no global warming summit next month.
Unless
one of us cared enough about his place in history
to unilaterally disable his warheads.
You know, in the name of the children.
Any volunteers?
No? Fine.
Me.
Call your people to confirm.
You're a complete lunatic.
Says the man about to destroy Asia.
Come on, who's going to follow suit, huh?
Are you really going to stand by and watch as Earth is destroyed?
Abort!
I figured North Korea for last.
Got to love the little guy.
Gentlemen.
Welcome to a nuclear-free world.
I want to direct your attention to live images of your homelands.
Now, you're looking at an advanced weapons system
we call Project Zeus.
There are seven Zeus satellites orbiting Earth.
Each satellite contains 10 hollow platinum tubes
filled with a tungsten rod.
Zeus satellite 1-A approaching London.
Ordnance live and loaded. Awaiting drop authorisation.
Now, to direct a rod to its target, we don't launch it or fire it.
We drop it!
Gravity does the rest.
Observe.
Satellite 1-A. We have remote launch authorisation.
Three, two, one,
drop.
A rod touches down eight times faster than a bullet.
And with a force significantly greater than a nuclear warhead.
None of the fallout.
All of the fun.
You will have to answer for this.
To your Congress, your courts.
Correction, they will have to answer to me.
What is it you want?
I want it all.
The Cobra revolution has begun.
By pressing that button, Zartan initiated an auto-drop sequence.
My Zeus satellites are moving into position
over your six remaining countries.
Satellites 2-A through 7-A en route to targets.
The same button that begins this can end it.
But I only press it for a price.
Total allegiance.
Block, secure the perimeter!
Nothing matters now but the briefcase! Keep it out of Joe hands!
Firefly has the case!
Head for the door, now! Go, go!
Satellites en route to targets.
Beginning command protocols.
On your six, Cobra two!
Cobra one, Cobra one, I need eyes on! Eyes on!
Commander, I have the case.
We are still a go.
How long till drop?
On schedule, Commander. Five minutes to live fire.
Final targeting to begin shortly.
Zeus satellites 4 and 7 in position.
- What was that? - Shut up.
- Ray? - Yes, sir.
Check the door. Give me a sit rep.
I'm on it.
You two secure the entrance.
- What are you doing? - Let's go. We're out of here.
Stand down. I'm gonna shoot him!
I said stand down!
Be a good G.I. Joe and drop the gun. We're walking out of here.
I will shoot him in the head. Do you understand me?
You're not listening, are you? Put the gun down!
Drop it!
Easy, easy.
Put some pressure on it.
General Colton.
- It's good to see you. - Good to see you.
- Sorry, Mr President. - No, it's fine.
Come on. Let's move.
Here we go.
Roadblock, POTUS secure. No casualties.
Roger that, Jaye.
You betrayed the Hard Master.
And made me what I am.
Yep.
Yeah, I can see that was wrong.
We need eyes on Firefly and Cobra ASAP.
Courtyard clear. No sign of him.
Zeus satellites 2, 3, 5, and 6 are locked on target. France,
Russia, North Korea,
India, Israel, China.
Block.
Cobra Commander's bugging out.
No sign of Firefly.
I've got him.
Targets acquired. Ordnance live and loading.
Zeus 4 is ready to fire. Hatch is open.
- Get him! - Take him out!
You want that case?
You're gonna have to come through me.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
All satellites have begun load for final countdown.
Launch codes confirmed.
Ten seconds to live fire.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven. Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
Threat terminated.
Team Bravo, perimeter has been cleared and secured.
Joe Command to covert operations.
We have control of the perimeter.
Medical personnel are on the scene.
All Joes are accounted for.
We're going home.
The President is back safe in the Oval Office today,
presiding over a ceremony honouring the G.I. Joes.
With the world back in order, rebuilding has begun around the world.
Those who stand beside us,
the world knows them as Joes.
We know them as heroes.
Jinx.
Welcome to the Joes.
Flint.
Great job.
Captain Jaye Burnett.
I served with your father.
He'd be very proud of you.
Ladies and gentlemen, the G.I. Joes.
Hey.
For when you find Cobra Commander.
Where can we find you, General?
Just need my orders.
You know, we'd make a hell of a team.
