Macao Page #5

told me to find Cochrane or resign.

Get on the phone.

Find out who cabled the consulate.

This is Lieutenant

Felizardo Jose Espirito Sebastian.

Take off the gold braid.

This is Lieutenant Sebastian.

l want the cable office.

This is Lieutenant Sebastian.

l want the list of everyone

who sent a cable in the past 24 hours.

A list! The entire list!

Dont tell me not to scream !

lll scream as much as l please!

How many went out, who sent them !

Every single name!

No cables went out in the past 24 hours.

Arent you afraid

someone might hear you?

l brought you some breakfast.

lts the first time l ever saw

a warden dolled up in a neglige.

Who was it that tapped me

into dreamland last night

and rolled me

for the diamond and the gun?

Rice cakes? Delicious.

All they left me

was that set of loaded dice.

You do remember these, dont you?

How come they dragged me up here

instead of dumping me in the bay?

You know, you remind me

of an old Egyptian girlfriend of mine.

The sphinx.

Are you partial to females made of stone?

Good morning, Miss Benton.

Did you sleep well?

Who slept?

-Mr. Cochrane hasnt returned yet, has he?

-Not to my knowledge.

Rickshaw!

Rickshaw!

-What is it?

-Are we alone?

ls anyone listening?

Why?

Are you a friend of the young American?

Nick? Where is he?

-Hes in trouble.

-What trouble?

lll tell you as we walk.

Are you sure this is the place?

Up those stairs, first door to your right.

lf youre looking for your friend.

-Whats he doing here?

-Ever hear of the word privacy?

Well, you certainly do get around,

dont you?

l just wanted to know if you were all right.

Why dont you ask Margie?

He was afraid to go home in the fog

and my guest room was handy.

You left out a few details, honey.

-Did you find him?

-Yes, l found him all right.

Thanks.

lts quarter to three

Theres no one in the place

except you and me

So, set em up, Joe

l got a little story you ought to know

Were drinking, my friend

To the end of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby

One more for the road

You know the routine

So put another nickel in the machine

lm feeling so bad

l hope you make the music

dreamy and sad

Could tell you a lot

But youve gotta be true to your code

Make it one for my baby

One more for the road

You never know it

But, buddy, lm a kind of poet

And lve got a lot of things to say

And when lm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Until its tucked away

Well, thats how it goes

And Joe, l know

youre getting anxious to close

So thanks for the beer

l hope you didnt mind my bendin your ear

This torch that lve found

Must be drowned or it soon will explode

Make it one for baby

One more for the road

That long

Long, long

Road

l took this town and choked it

with my bare hands until it coughed up.

-You have gone far, Mr. Halloran.

-Far?

l cant go beyond the three-mile limit.

And even with Cochrane

under lock and key,

l cant leave Macao

until l know whos working with him.

How did this diamond get away

from my fence in Hong Kong?

Who communicated

with the American consul last night?

What kind of a spy system have you got?

lt was l who discovered that someone

had used the shortwave on your boat.

Congratulations. But who used it?

Not Trumble. Not the girl.

Weve got to make Cochrane talk.

l beg of you.

Nothing must happen to the American.

-My job is at stake.

-My life is at stake.

lf it were anyone else,

ld say that you were frightened.

lll show you how frightened l am.

l send $100,000 necklace to Hong Kong

and what do l get?

l get Cochrane with a stone

from my necklace.

Well, lve had enough of that.

lm going to Hong Kong myself tonight.

Where are the Rover Boys?

Youd better hurry.

Theyre in the kitchen eating.

-Maybe theyre down in the street eating.

-Maybe you dont want to leave.

Why you doing all this?

When you leave Macao,

dont forget to take that canary with you.

Thanks, doll.

-Cochrane?

-l sent him out for an airing.

-lll go get help.

-No, no good now.

Sorry. Tried to get...

Tried to use you to get Halloran out

to the police boat at the three-mile limit.

l thought you could help.

Hide, or hell get you, too.

Go home.

l fixed it with police headquarters

in New York.

-Get out of here!

-Now, wait a minute, let me talk to you.

-Blondes he wants.

-Cut it out, will you!

What are we?

Delegates to a peace conference?

l couldnt help it.

She had a gun in your back. Stand still.

-There was a gun in my back.

-Youre a liar!

lm not trying to lie to you.

They wouldve killed me.

They killed Trumble tonight.

Oh, yes.

Oh, no.

lsnt there something

you can do about it?

What can l do?

Whats the matter?

Didnt it happen on your beat?

-What do you mean?

-Stop it. l know youre a cop.

-Me?

-Yes, Halloran told me.

Youre a New York cop

come to take him back to the States.

That was Trumble. Trumble was the cop.

They got the right man tonight

and they didnt know it.

That knife they stuck in him

was meant for me.

Come on, get dressed and lets go.

-Go where?

-Anywhere off this island. Saigon.

l got a good connection in Saigon.

lm so tired of running.

-What else can we do?

-l dont know.

l was never considered a brain, but...

l want to go home.

l cant. Maybe you can, but l cant.

Wouldnt it wash off a lot of black marks

if you could deliver Halloran?

Trumble said something about that.

Oh, no, nothing would make

Halloran leave Macao.

Hes leaving Macao tonight.

Hes going to Hong Kong on his boat.

-Asked me to go with him.

-Well, Julie Benton, girl companion.

-And what did you say?

-l told him ld think it over.

You did?

Well, you annoyed me a little

when you belted me with that blonde.

-l wont go.

-l think youd better.

-Will it help you?

-l think it will.

Lets go below.

What are you doing here?

ls your master leaving

for Hong Kong tonight?

Yes.

ls he afraid of the detective?

Not anymore. l took care of that.

And his friends? Did he lead you to them?

You heard what l said!

Cast off.

We must have passed

the three-mile limit by now.

Why were they after you

or shouldnt l ask?

Some day, when l get

to know you better, lll tell you.

-Ahoy there, need any help?

-l could have used you five minutes ago.

-l presume thats Halloran?

-Whats left of him. Yeah.

lm Stewart of the international police.

-Wheres Lieutenant Bryan?

-Bryan?

-l think you knew him as Trumble.

-He didnt make it, Captain.

l see, come aboard and tell me about it.

Nick, are you all right?

lve got some unfinished business.

You can make your report in Hong Kong.

But youre all wet.

Youd better start getting used to me

fresh out of the shower.
