G.I.Joe: Renegades (2010) s01e22 Episode Script
Cutting Edge
Ohh! I'll not be your whipping boy every time a project experiences delays, commander Particularly when my every waking hour is devoted to your service.
Must we begin this conversation with such hostility? I've been summoned in the dead of night like a house servant, and I'm not allowed to be hostile? Our subterranean transit system is well behind schedule.
What have you been doing to rectify that? What have I been doing? This! I've upgraded the excavator to receive a remote signal cleanly through 300 feet of rock No more stalls.
Your tunnels are being burrowed.
Replay, 10 seconds.
We have an intruder.
Ugh! Ohh.
Accused of a crime they didn't commit, a ragtag band of fugitives fights a covert battle to clear their names and expose the insidious enemy that is Cobra.
Some call them outlaws.
Some call them heroes.
But these determined men and women think of themselves only as Ordinary Joes.
And this is their story.
Baroness, this is a joke! How safe am I supposed to feel if even the Joes can get through your security? The Joes? No.
That wasn't their ninja, commander, and assassinations are not their style.
Someone else wants your life.
Cobra tower better be fortified.
Its defenses are more than sufficient.
But just to ease your mind, I'll have storm shadow meet us on site.
Espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination Are those not the skills of a ninja? I'm still getting used to the suit.
Don't blame the suit.
Payment was to include one assignment, successfully executed! My company does business across the globe.
One phone call, and everyone will know the arashikage's leader does not keep her word.
Now load your bike.
Breaker said I was meeting Duke.
He got detoured through Brooklyn.
I'm Scarlett.
This is snake eyes.
I know you.
Here.
This will get you into Decobray's offices.
You're sure the penthouse will be empty? All weekend.
Oh, one more thing I vacuumed his office long enough to know that it's smaller than the ones on the lower floors, but it shouldn't be.
Camera 1 is online.
Cameras 2 and 3 are online.
Snake eyes, get out of there now.
Security is rushing the building.
The roof and penthouse are secure.
You're cleared to land.
Look, only one person would make this kind of an entrance.
Double the guards.
And where is my ninja? I'll find out.
You're late.
Do not press your luck, baroness.
Just tell me about the assassin.
A ninja, small, wearing some kind of high-tech suit Who could it be? When I separate his head from his shoulders, then we will both know.
Hyah! Aah! Aah! - Jinx? - You knew? Not until we fought.
He did train me.
Okay, aside from attacking your own Sensei, what do you think you're doing? I don't have to explain myself to you.
This is Arashikage business.
You're not a part of the family, and neither are you.
Who hired you to go pursue cobra commander? Stay out of this! You can't tell me the Arashikage are now paid assassins.
What do you mean "now"? I'm carrying on a thousand years of tradition.
Dirty work is what we do! No.
Some knew where to draw the line, like snake eyes and your father.
How dare you bring my father into this! It was snake eyes who assassinated him! Ugh! Yeah, I know what it is.
It's the reed you used to stab my father.
Don't lie to me.
You as much as admitted it, and storm shadow was a witness.
Wait.
What exactly did storm shadow see? Snake eyes stabbing my father in the throat.
I've seen that reed before, jinx.
When I was poisoned, my throat swelled.
I couldn't breathe.
That blowgun was what snake eyes was going to use to punch a hole in my esophagus, to save my life.
A a tracheotomy? Was my father poisoned? And and you were trying to save him? Sensei, I I am so sorry.
I didn't want to believe, but storm shadow was so convincing.
You mean obsessed, to the point of aligning himself with our enemy.
Storm shadow works for cobra? He's up there right now, protecting the commander from you.
He can't stop me.
And you shouldn't try, either, Sensei.
Everyone expects me to fail as master.
I have to do this.
My honor is at stake.
There is no honor in what you're planning to do.
I don't see what the big deal is.
You said yourself cobra is your enemy.
You should be encouraging me.
Don't make this about someone else's vengeance.
This is about you going down the wrong path because once you do, there's no turning back.
I know you just want to protect me, but I'm not a little girl anymore.
Jinx! Ohh! Anastasia, what a relief you're all right.
You've not answered any of my calls.
We have been a little preoccupied, James.
I can only imagine.
Do you have any idea who might be behind this madness? Not yet, but I will.
Still, I would advise preparing for the worst.
Meaning what, exactly? If an assassination were to be successful, someone would need to step into the vacuum of leadership Immediately.
I trust that would be you.
It's almost as if you are hoping for such an outcome.
Certainly not, but I do have a vested interest in the contingency plans of cobra, wouldn't you agree? They are m.
A.
R.
S.
'S largest shareholder.
Excuse me, baroness.
We have a situation.
Perhaps you shouldn't be anywhere near the What is it? We've lost surveillance on the roof, and the Alpha guards have gone silent.
The beta team sent to investigate is no longer responding.
Come with me.
Everyone on alert.
An assassin is in the building.
You will all defend the commander with your lives.
I do not know who you are But here is where you fall.
Storm shadow, wait! Kim! I demand an explanation.
I've been hired to assassinate cobra commander.
By whom? It doesn't matter.
You don't need to protect him anymore.
What are you talking about? Snake eyes is innocent.
He didn't murder my father.
You are letting his lies obscure the truth again.
No.
This did not take hard master's life.
Poison did.
Snake eyes was using the reed to open my father's airway because he couldn't breathe.
Poison? The cups were switched.
When you and I return to Japan, we shall track down my father's real killer together.
As for now, I ask that you step aside and Okay, then.
Your ninja must have failed.
You assured me this would not happen, baroness.
Are you completely incompetent?! Do not ever speak to me that way again.
And you Keep your focus on that wall.
Baroness, what is it? Our defenses have failed.
I need you to dispatch a squad of battle android troopers now.
But I've only a few prototypes in my New York facility.
Send everything you have, destro, or you will not see another sunrise! By your command.
Who are you? Please.
Please, spare my life.
I beg of you.
Aah! Ugh! "I beg of you.
" You were seriously buying that summer-stock garbage.
Nah, not much of a ninja, are you? Never even noticed the switcheroo back at the mansion, before the aircraft took off.
See? Tell me who sent you.
Answer your elders Or I'll When I find out who hired you, there'll be no place remote enough for either of you to run.
Snake eyes? Destro! What are you doing? Thank you, Sensei.
We will fight as one, as Arashikage.
Kim, snake eyes I have been emptied after learning the truth.
It was it was I who poisoned hard master.
What? The poison was not meant for your father.
It was meant for you.
But why? You already know.
I wanted the Arashikage for my own, and snake eyes stood in my way.
If you're asking for forgiveness I am not, for I do not deserve it.
Kim, you are the rightful heir to your father's clan.
Lead it well.
I know I should hate storm shadow, but he loved my father.
What do you think will become of him? He's a warrior without a master.
I doubt he'll ever find peace.
And you? I will lead the Arashikage down the path my father intended.
We will abandon the old ways And embrace the new.
Technology is the future of the Arashikage, and I will only look forward.
