Pirate's Code: The Adventures of Mickey Matson Page #3

Oh, now you

gonna start to cry?

Don't you be

startin' that now.

It might serve you well

to mitigate that sneezin'.

He's like twice

your size,

and they've had

a lot more training.

They kicked our butts

without even trying, Sully.

They were just

toying with us.

He's right.

I'm no hero.

Oh, give me a break.

No, Sully.

Max is the real deal.

I'm just as average

as I thought I was.

So, now what?

You're gonna quit?

No, I--

You know how you

said last year

that I have nothing

to prove?

Well, you were wrong.

I have a lot to prove to myself.

I think we both do.

This is our chance to see

if we have what it takes,

and like Grandpa Jack says,

we're part of a team.

They need to be able

to depend on us.

And inst for the record,

I believe in you,

Mickey Matson.

What was that?

Security breach.

Get to the safe rooms.

Go now!

They've taken

the training center.

Get to the annex!

[shots firing

Were you going?

Oh!

Uh-oh!

Oh!

Battle sticks

versus ray guns?

It doesn't seem fair,

does it?

This way!

Circle up.

Got it!

Put 'em down.

Drag 'em out.

[alarm ringing

Where is everyone?

Let's find Grandpa Jack.

Would someone please

turn off that infernal alarm?

Alright, the control room

is down this way.

Most of the kids are

out at a camping trip,

and Grams and Bettie

are older than the hill,

so we won't have

much trouble there.

Is that Lynch?

Let's go.

Gramps, what in the world?

What is she doing?

It's Ironsides.

We got a message

from the Coast Guard

just before the raid.

North Bay was hit by some

massive electromagnetic blast.

It can't be a coincidence.

Find transportation.

Where are we going?

Evan said the blast

came from Lake Manestee.

Find Ironsides.

Try and figure out

what he's up to.

Once you do, call it in.

This is a direct line

to the Coast Guard.

But what about you?

I'd only slow you down.

Besides, Fm not sure

the pacemaker

can keep the old heart

pumping fast enough.

What's up, Jack?

Go see your great-grandpa.

He's got something

to show ya.

Bettie, what'd you have

to go and do that for?

Now I might have

to break a sweat.

Ya know, this is treason.

No duh!

But, personally,

I like to think of it

more as a promotion.

Get him outta here, and bring me

back those two pimple poppers.

Sully, come on.

So help me if I get

hit by one of those things!

Come on, Mickey, go!

Come on, run!

This Way!

Hold on, country boy.

Now this is transportation.

Sully, this

isn't even a road.

This thing

doesn't need roads.

Why do you always

get to drive?

Do you have your permit yet?

No.

So where's your

great-grandfather,

in another cemetery?

Are you gonna let me

drive if I tell you?

Nope.

And you are never, ever

to look the Admiral in the eye.

Ah, Bettie, lovely of you

to join us.

I was just laying out

the ground rules

for our future deck swabs.

Looks like I've found

Ironsides some new recruits.

These aren't his recruits.

Whatever.

You know your grandson

and his little girlfriend

have somehow eluded my men?

Admiral Ironsides will make

you pay dearly for that.

Hmm.

Follow me.

So your great-grandfather's

a librarian?

It was right here.

What was right here?

Oh my, children, those

are quite the costumes.

Are you playing

dress up today?

No, ma'am, I think a painting

used to hang right here?

Oh, yes, John Cavarda Matson,

one of our maritime heroes.

We moved him to the basement.

Ouch, from hero

to basement.

Okay, well, could we

go down and see it?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

The basement is off limits.

Only employees are

allowed down there.

You'd have to make

an appointment.

We'll just have to come back

another time.

What are you doing?

She ism going to inst

let us down there,

and she surely ism

gonna believe that we're here

because an unknown branch

of the U.S. government

is operating

a training facility

for an elite group

of teenagers,

which was recently attacked

by pirates,

and dozens of lives depend

on us finding

an old picture in her

stinky basement.

Sometimes you need to bend

the rules a bit, Matson.

Another advantage

to having your permit.

Way to go, Chicago.

Did you hear something?

If she catches us

we're in trouble.

Okay, come on,

let's hurry.

How are we ever gonna find it?

There's so much stuff down here.

It's a needle-in-a-haystack

situation.

Actually, does he

look familiar?

So this is your

great-grandpa?

Hey.

It couldn't have

been that easy.

Okay, Gramps.

There has to be

some sort of clue.

Do you see anything

like a symbol?

I got nothin'.

Wait a minute.

You got that look.

The flags on the ships,

they're naval signal flags,

like each one has

a special meaning

Like numbers

or letters.

I don't suppose

you know 'em by heart?

Not really.

Good thing

we're in a library.

Amy.

Amy!

Have you seen two kids

in costume come by here?

It's gotta be in here.

Bingo.

Okay, there.

Okay, so that is seven.

Two.

And one.

And this one is

and the second one is

"S."

And "E."

Seven, two, one,

It's 721 Rose.

It's an address.

It's--

footsteps

Kids, dress up time is over!

This place gives me

the creeps!

Same building

as in the painting?

Is this the right address?

Yeah.

Alright, come on.

Welcome, welcome, welcome,

ladies and gentlemen,

to the official tour of

the USS Silversides.

Alright, well, she officially

launched on August 26, 1941.

Her total length

is 95.02 meters.

She is capable of reaching

21 knots while surfaced

and 9 knots while submerged.

Speaking of submersion--

That was a gift

from my morn!

Mommy!

Alright, then, who's next?

Perfect, Dulan motor.

This is definitely

Gramps' type of place.

Do we just knock?

No idea.

It's locked.

There's a doorbell.

Screws missing.

Fingerprint scanner.

We have the coolest

grandparents in the world.

You know that, right?

Why are there never lights?

You seriously need to have

a talk with your grandpa

about paying electric bills.

Dark, creepy warehouse.

So your grandpa

might be a hoarder.

What is this?

Don't look at me.

Grams is a mechanic.

Check it out, some sort of--

I don't know--

Ballast intake,

Lexite canopy glass?

Maybe this one works?

Yeah, Gramps.

My whole body

is tingling.

Attention all available

Coast Guard personnel.

Anyone near Lumber Port

or North Bay

with equipment not affected

by the power surge...

...we have received

a mayday call

from the Silversides.

I've been told several times

this is not a joke.

It appears that the vessel

has been taken over by pirates.

I'm driving.

I don't think so.

This baby handles

like a dream.

Okay, maybe more

like a nightmare.

What's going on?

I don't know, but Fm

pretty sure he built this

out of spare parts from

an old washing machine.

As speed increases,

hydrodynamic lift increases,

leaving less of the hull

in contact with the water

which puts you at the mercy

of the surface structure.

Oh, what is that

weird voice thing?
