In all probability, no. He'll be fine. Come along, now. I want you to go home, get some rest. We'll talk later. I'll call you when we finish our tests.
COBRA COMMANDER
Excellent work, P-Nine. Excellent.
INT. HOSPITAL
ELEVATOR
What section, please?
DOC
Interrogation.
ELEVATOR
Thank you. Going down.
INT. HOSPITAL - INTERROGATION SECTION
DOC
Secure the subject on the table and step outside, please. This procedure can be hazardous.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
Nuh-uh-uh. Don't touch that dial. (X) Crimson Guard Cadet Deming (T) will handle this interrogation. (X) We consider this experience (T) essential to her training.
DOC
Your first time?
CADET DEMING
I've run the simulator.
DOC
The real thing is considerably more demanding.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
Please begin, Cadet Deming.
CADET DEMING
We are embarking on a journey, Shipwreck, just you and I. A journey into your mind. Chula Vista, California, where you grew up, remember? In the shadow of the San Diego Navy Yards.
EXT. CHULA VISTA - FLASHBACK
CADET DEMING (V.O.)
For as long as you can remember, you wanted to be a sailor, didn't you?
SHIPWRECK (V.O.)
Yeah.
CADET DEMING (V.O.)
You joined the Navy at seventeen.
SHIPWRECK (V.O.)
Sixteen. I lied about my age.
EXT. VARIOUS LOCATIONS - FLASHBACKS
CADET DEMING (V.O.)
Then you saw the world, didn't you, from the river pirates of Southeast Asia, to smugglers off the Florida coast. And even to the desert, where you first joined G. I. Joe.
SHIPWRECK (V.O.)
Yeah.
EXT. PACIFIC ISLAND - FLASHBACK
CADET DEMING (V.O.)
And of course, that island in the South Pacific where you met Professor Mullaney. Mullaney told you a secret, didn't he?
SHIPWRECK (V.O.)
Uh-huh.
INT. HOSPITAL - INTERROGATION SECTION
CADET DEMING
What did he tell you?
SHIPWRECK
I don't know. Somethin'.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
Cadet Deming, increase power to factor seven.
CADET DEMING
Yes. Factor seven.
CADET DEMING
Tell me Mullaney's secret. Was it about Temple Alpha?
SHIPWRECK
I don't know.
CADET DEMING
Was it about the destabilizer formula?
SHIPWRECK
I don't know!
CADET DEMING
Do the Joes have the information?
SHIPWRECK
I don't know!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
Cadet Deming, full power!
DOC
No!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) What seems to be (T) the problem, Doctor?
DOC
She's inexperienced. The full power of the chamber could drive her mad, and Delgado as well!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) The doctor (T) has developed (T and X) opinions of his own. Obviously defective.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) Scoop it up (T) and take it to the lab (T and X) for reconstitution.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) Cadet Deming, (T) we repeat, (T and X) full power!
CADET DEMING
Okay. O...kay.
CADET DEMING
What did Mullaney say? Tell me!
SHIPWRECK
I can't! Not without the code word!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
What code word?
CADET DEMING
Tell me! Tell me the code word! TELL ME!
SHIPWRECK
I don't know!
SHIPWRECK
Mullaney only told Lady Jaye, and she's dead!
CADET DEMING
NO! You lie!
TOMAX
Still viable?
XAMOT
Very iffy.
COBRA COMMANDER
You fools, you should've realized Mullaney would take such a precaution. The sailor is useless to us without Lady Jaye or Mullaney himself.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(T) Hardly, Commander. (X) All we lack (T) is the code word.
COBRA COMMANDER
And just how do you plan to get it?
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(T and X) Leave that to us. (X) Meanwhile, we recommend (T) you redouble your efforts (T and X) to find Mullaney.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
Your recommendation was not solicited!
COBRA COMMANDER
Cobra Commander to Rattler Squadron, report! Any sign of Mullaney?
EXT. PACIFIC - ISLAND
BARONESS
Negative. We can see nothing from the air. Our ground forces have likewise found nothing. We must consider the possibility, Commander, that Mullaney did not survive. I recommend you redouble your efforts.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
Silence! You, rejoin that sailor. We must pry that secret from his mind!
(X) The computer is reciting (T) the entire contents (X) of the unabridged (T) Oxford English Dictionary. (T and X) The code word must be in there someplace.
COBRA COMMANDER
Very clever. Why, we'll have the answer in six or seven years. Even I didn't expect failure this soon.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) This was to be (T) expected, Commander.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) Ah. His sedative (T) is wearing off. (X) We shall simply (T) order him another.
COBRA COMMANDER
Perhaps Destro has made some serious progress at finding the missing ingredient for the formula.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) We'll accompany you (T) to the lab.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - CORRIDOR
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(X) The hospital will page us (T) if there's anything to report.
COBRA COMMANDER
Good. At least we know we won't be interrupted.
INT. HOSPITAL
P-9
What's up, sailor?
SHIPWRECK
My beard....
SHIPWRECK
What in the name of Nimitz! It's black again.
P-9
What's up, sailor?
SHIPWRECK
Wait a minute. If my beard's not grey, then maybe Lady Jaye's....
P-9
What about her? What about her?
SHIPWRECK
Shh. Somebody's comin'.
NURSE
Time for our evening glass of milk, Mr. Delgado.
SHIPWRECK
Thanks, lady. Wait a minute. No thanks!
SHIPWRECK
No you don't!
P-9
Let her go, bilge breath! Let her go!
SHIPWRECK
Whose side are you on?
POLLY
Yo Joe!
POLLY
Take that, ya phoney baloney!
SHIPWRECK
Have some more milk! It'll calm you down!
NURSE
You won't get away with...you won't....
COMPUTER
Aesthetician....
SHIPWRECK
That's what they've been doin' to me!
POLLY
Six ways from Sunday!
SHIPWRECK
Cobra! Let me guess. Cobra salvaged me in the SHARC while the Joes were busy keepin' the Flagg afloat.
POLLY
You're warm, sailor.
SHIPWRECK
And you saw 'em and followed me.
POLLY
Gettin' warmer.
SHIPWRECK
And all of this, the hospital, the whole town--it's all a fakeroo.
POLLY
You're hot!
SHIPWRECK
The Flagg didn't even go down, did it?
POLLY
You're hotter!
SHIPWRECK
And Lady Jaye must still be alive, and Cobra's tryin' to get me to reveal Mullaney's secret formula. But Lady Jaye's the only one who knows the blasted code word.
SHIPWRECK
So that means...Mara lied to me! She's on Cobra's side! Wait a minute....
SHIPWRECK
How do I know you're not another phoney?
POLLY
Remember that night in Annapolis?
SHIPWRECK
Okay, I'm convinced. Come on. We're gettin' to the bottom of this, if it kills us!
POLLY
Speak for yourself, sailor.
EXT. SPRINGFIELD - NIGHT
SHIPWRECK
The sign says Car Wash, but if you ask me, it's a brainwash. Come on!
INT. CAR WASH
SHIPWRECK
What'd I tell you?
INT. CAR WASH - BASEMENT
POLLY
That's usin' the old bean!
SHIPWRECK
What is this place?
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - SYNTHOID LAB
ZARTAN
Synthoids are created from this material, called pseudoplasm. We now possess almost total control over this material.
ZARTAN
Now whereas a meltdown formerly meant destruction for the synthoid, the organism can now be reconstituted.
ZARTAN
As you can see, they are virtually indistinguishable from the real G. I. Joe.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - CONTROL ROOM
TELE-VIPER
Temple Alpha to Baroness. Rattler Squadron cleared for landing.
SHIPWRECK
Son of a bilge rat! Springfield is Temple Alpha! We're on the island, see? Probably not far from where we met Mullaney.
SHIPWRECK
Which means the secret weapon's here, too--if we can just find it.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - LAB SECTION
SHIPWRECK
Gangway!
SCIENTIST
Unauthorized personnel! Defensive manuevers!
SHIPWRECK
So much for the Crimson crème de la crème!
POLLY
Slow down, sailor! Slow...down.
SHIPWRECK
End of the road, huh?
POLLY
Nowhere to go but up!
SHIPWRECK
Beats waitin' around for the snakes.
INT. UNDERGROUND BASE - SECRET LAB
SHIPWRECK
Sure is clean, ain't it? They must be workin' on somethin' sensitive.
POLLY
What's it say? What's it say?
SHIPWRECK
"Operation Hot Water." It's Mullaney's formula. It's got to be. We could blow Springfield off the map with this stuff--if we knew the code word to get the secret outta my skull!
POLLY
Code word frogs in winter! Frogs in winter!
SHIPWRECK
Dioxynitrotriphosphate, ammonium hydrochloride fulminate, potassium triglyceride... and thulium isotope three eighty-five!
SHIPWRECK
The secret ingredient!
SHIPWRECK
Will ya look at that!
POLLY
Don't drink it, swabbie!
COBRA COMMANDER
He won't have the chance. Surrender the formula at once if you wish to leave this room alive.
SHIPWRECK
Sorry, sucker. No way!
COBRA COMMANDER
Grab him!
SHIPWRECK
That's far enough! I know what this stuff can do, see? It turns water into an explosive, and I just set it loose in your drainage system.
DESTRO
Fool. The mixture can only be ignited by a trigger explosion. That match will do nothing.
SHIPWRECK
You're bluffin'!
DESTRO
Am I?
SHIPWRECK
Yeah. I think you are.
SHIPWRECK
Okay, I guess you weren't bluffin'.
BUZZER
Let's smear the blighter!
DESTRO
No! You'll ignite the explosive!
EXT. SPRINGFIELD - NIGHT
EXT. OCEAN - USS FLAGG
LADY JAYE
Flint, come here and look at this! There's a battle going on out there.
FLINT
Set course for those fireworks, all at deliberate speed. Lady Jaye, any of those SkyStrikers airworthy?
LADY JAYE
Oh, I could scare up one or two.
FLINT
Do it.
PROF. MULLANEY
What if it's Cobra? What if they found the secret of my explosive?
ROADBLOCK
Now you go below and don't make a peep. You've just been rescued, and you need your sleep.
PROF. MULLANEY
You...you will do something, won't you?
ROADBLOCK
Shucks. We may do a couple of things!
EXT. SPRINGFIELD - NIGHT
SHIPWRECK
SkyStrikers! Guess they could hear the noise all the way back on the Flagg!
POLLY
Wrong way, sailor! Head for the beach!
SHIPWRECK
I gotta get Mara and Althea to safety!
EXT. DELGADO RESIDENCE - NIGHT
SHIPWRECK
Mara! Althea!
INT. DELGADO RESIDENCE
SHIPWRECK
Mara?
MARA
In the living room, Hector!
INT. DELGADO - LIVING ROOM
ALTHEA
Hi, "Daddy."
MARA
Yes, darling, welcome home...to stay!
SHIPWRECK
W...why? I, I thought you loved me.
ALTHEA
Daddy, you're a real drip.
SHIPWRECK
Mara, don't!
POLLY
End of the line, synthoid suckers.
SHIPWRECK
Synthoids! They were synthoids!
POLLY
Make tracks, sailor! Make tracks!
EXT. DELGADO RESIDENCE - NIGHT
LADY JAYE
Shipwreck, is that you?
FLINT
You old sea dog, you're alive!
LADY JAYE
We thought we'd lost you.
LADY JAYE
Shipwreck, what happened? Was--was there something important in that house?
