Phantom Raiders Page #7

He's below now, going over the cargo.

Got your clearance papers?

Yeah, right here.

Well, in that case, I wouldn't

worry too much about Nick.

I think I can persuade

him to let you sail.

You think you can?

Of course, he and I are

old friends and uh ..

Why not let Cora make

the voyage with you?

By the time you come back, the

Morris murder will be all cleared up.

Oh Al, how can we ever thank you?

Don't try to thank me.

Alright children,

goodbye and good luck.

Goodbye Al. Adis.

So long, Al.

Stop or you are a dead man.

Now look here my friend. Silence!

Remember... if you betray me you die.

Hello Al. Hello.

Say what do you think. I just smacked down

our Mr Carter and got him tied up below.

You want to see him before

he goes on a nice long ride?

Yes, of course. Come on.

Alright Mack, open up. Al

wants to kiss Mr Carter goodbye.

Sure.

Do you want to let him come in too?

Well, I'll be a pink... hej

did you know curly was with you?

Yes... yes, he's always with me.

Step inside gentlemen.

You too sir.

Sure, what have I got to lose.

Your associate in crime detection begs

leave to report the capture of 3 prisoners.

Beeswax, you're a one-man riot.

It's humiliating, that's what it is.

Ain't it though. Come on,

cut me loose here Gunboat.

Come on!

Hello Al. Congratulations Nick.

You and your little playmate

have a smooth routine.

Well... Al... with an old smoothie

like you, we've got to have one.

And now, muscle-bound, I've

got a little present for you.

That's for that tap on the skull

you gave me when I wasn't looking.

Now you mount guard here at the door

and keep your eyes peeled for boarders.

Aye aye, sir.

And gentlemen, I'll take whatever deadly

little knick-knacks you may be holding.

Well, Albert, where have

I seen that knife before?

Can't remember, eh? Huh?

In Morris's office of

course, a couple of hours ago.

A little cleaner now than

it was then, isn't it? Huh?

Nice of Miss Barnes to give it to you.

Oh... what's this

dead-eye? Your mosquito gun?

Yeah, humiliating isn't it.

Well, we'll get rid of those boys.

A ticklish smuggler are you? Aye.

Oh you're a nice boy.

Written home to mother lately?

You keep our mothers out of

this. Oh, forgive me Gunboat.

Sit down boys, won't you. And

make yourselves comfortable.

We're going to take a

nice little boat ride.

You cannot... you cannot Shanghai me.

Why Al, what talk! I'm merely inviting

you on a nice invigorating sea-voyage.

With fireworks, maybe.

Look here Grisson, don't be a fool.

Al Taurez will turn against you.

He'll treat you the same way he

treated Morris. The way he treated me.

Maybe he's gone already,

leaving us holding the bag.

Let's get out of her while ..

Sit down Ramsell, you're

acting like a jittery idiot.

Well, I'm going to get out.

Shut up! You can go.

After I blow up the

Archos at 12 o'clock.

What are we going to do?

Stay in this hole all night?

It depends on you, Gunboat.

I don't know what you're talking

about. Bombs. I never seen no bombs.

What would I be doing

with a bomb, anyway?

You're either a very smart liar, or really

as dumb as you look. I don't know which.

Don't call me dumb.

Steady! Or I'll draw a bead

on you right between the eyes.

Why you, you... Someday,

I'll find a name for you.

Stop it Gunboat.

How about it, Mack?

Laddie... if what you say

is true, it's terrible.

Murdering ships and killing men.

I've been going to sea all my life.

But I'd rather die than

kill a sailor-man that way.

Well, that brings us right back

to you again Al, doesn't it?

You're wasting your time Nick.

If there are ships being destroyed

by bombs, I know nothing about it.

Well, maybe you know

something about these figures.

The combination for your safe.

Or did you forget it?

Now you know why that building

happened to go sky-high today.

You mean that warehouse

where Dr Grisson ..

Please Gunboat, will

you do me a favor and ..

Take a walk around the block?

No. Shut up.

What do you mean, take

a walk around the block?

Well... Al every once in a

while tells me to take a walk ..

You idiot. Keep your mouth ..

Oh... I see... I get it Al.

You don't want Gunboat to know

anything about that sending-set.

So when you use it, you tell him

to take a walk around the block.

Why would Al blow up ships?

For the insurance.

And the reason he doesn't want

you to see that sending-set ..

Is he knows you would have nothing

to do with murdering sailors.

Never I would.

It's not my racket.

I'm just Al's bodyguard.

Will you keep out of this or not?

Say, wait a minute Al.

If what he says is true, you know I'd put the slug on you

- just like that.

Has he given you any proof?

No. Well ..

That's right.

Say, you ain't the guy to talk. You

double-crossed me with my lady friend.

You got me wrong

Gunboat. She's all yours.

That's what you say.

Well, now only this afternoon, I

was talking with her and I said ..

Dolores, I don't want you chasing after

me, because you're in love with Gunboat.

What did she say?

Well she said, yes I love Gunboat,

I love him very much, but ..

Well... I want to make him jealous.

Did she say that?

That's just what she said.

Oh boy!

So you see Gunboat I ...

Oh I understand mate.

I just had you all wrong. Sure.

And yet all along, I

kept saying to myself ..

He ain't a bad guy.

Oh you lug-head, can't you see that ..

Sure I see. We ain't been

treating this guy right, Al.

Well, say, if there's

anything I can do Mr ..

Yes you can. You can make him talk.

I hate to do this, but uh ..

Say, what is this? A

convention of stowaways?

Well, I guess the clambake is over, Al.

Take us up to the Captain.

John, I ..

I must ask you to let me

have one of your lifeboats.

Al, we're 75 miles out.

That's alright, Gunboat, Mack

and I can reach Cristobal.

Well, if it's so

urgent, I can turn about.

But Al doesn't want

to go in on this ship.

Why?

Because it's going to be blown up.

Hidden somewhere on board are enough

bombs to blow this thing to bits.

It will go down with all hands on

board like the Matlock and Toledo.

What are you trying to do now,

Mr Carter? Give us a scare?

Ask Al.

Al, what's he talking about?

Al, why don't you say something?

He's trying to frame

me. Frame you? Why?

Yes.

Mr Carter has been trying to

get me for a long time, Cora.

He thought he could

involve me in these ..

Ship sinkings... and destroy

this boat and pin it on me, but ..

I've got a line on Mr Carter. I know

where he planted those bombs. There is ..

One hidden in that radio, and

another in the radio in engine-room.

And they are to explode at midnight.

In exactly two minutes!

John.

You better phone the engine room and

have them throw over that receiver.

And throw this one overboard. Quick!

Keep away from that phone

or you die like a dog.

Silence!

Let me chuck this thing overboard.

We'll throw that overboard

after Al answers a few questions.

You bombed the Toledo and Matlock?
