The Phantom Page #5

but we have

a mutually beneficial situation here.

Think of it this way.

You represent the old guard of grizzled

scallywags and Peg-leg Petes.

I stand for the new order of things,

modern and up-to-date.

Just the man to carry our cause

into the 20th century.

Silence!

You have no bargaining power

with me, Mr New York City.

I could kill you and

feed your pink ass to the sharks.

Besides...

you don't have the fourth skull.

What fourth skull?

What are you talking about?

There is no fourth skull.

The fourth skull controls

the power of the other three.

Without it, you've wasted your time

and your meaningless New York lives.

Wait a minute!

Anything happens to us,

others will come looking.

They know where we are.

You'll have an army down your throats.

Do you want that to happen?

No, that's bullshit!

Nobody knows where we are!

- What are you doing?

- Shut up!

Spirit of adventure, my ass.

It's every man for himself.

OK, Kabie. You get me out of here

or else you sleep with the fishes.

What are you going to say about that?

What's that supposed to mean?

Just ancient pirate talk for

"Fire the cannon".

Great Kabai Sengh,

I'm Quill, a loyal follower and soldier.

Look, I once killed the Phantom.

Join the club. Many of us

have killed him over the years.

But he keeps coming back.

Hey! I can see that this Phantom thing

really strikes a nerve.

In that case, you're going to love this.

She is his girlfriend!

Bring her here.

Think of the opportunities this presents.

Ransom, bait, revenge!

The Phantom has good taste.

Good! Personal pleasure,

I overlooked that one.

So, what do you say?.

The girl for the skull

and I'm out of your hair.

- You pirates need to get out more.

- Kabai Sengh!

Phantom!

Let's get him!

Run away!

Ghost Who Walks,

I'll cut you off at your knee!

You're not immortal.

I know your secrets, Phantom.

Take them to your grave, Kabai Sengh.

Sala! Cut the rope!

- Torpedoes.

- This explains all those missing ships.

You and Sala can escape in here.

I'll shoot you to the surface.

Those are like warheads.

If we hit anything, we're fish food.

We'll use the periscope

to make sure the path is clear.

Come on.

- How are you going to get out?

- I'll be right behind you.

At last.

I've already killed you.

No, you killed my father!

You've got something

that belongs to me.

No.

- Drax, over here!

- What is it?

These skulls are more powerful

than I imagined!

I've harnessed the energy of the sun!

Who needs a fourth skull?

I do. And I know where it is.

I've worn it all my life. For protection.

I've never understood

what that meant until right now.

What a cheap jungle trick!

Unbelievable!

- End of the line.

- We made it!

It all began 400 years ago,

when a boy saw his father murdered

by pirates of the Sengh Brotherhood.

That same boy

swore an oath of vengeance.

He would fight piracy,

greed and cruelty in all its forms.

He became the first Phantom.

I'm his descendant, Diana,

sworn to carry out his oath.

The mantle of the Phantom

was passed on from father to son.

Twenty Phantoms came before me,

but no one knew that.

They thought he was the same Phantom

and that he was immortal.

That's why they called him

'he Ghost Who Walks".

I'm not immortal, Diana.

I was born right here in this cave

and educated in America.

When my father was killed,

I came back to take his place.

And one day,

your own son will take your place.

Yes.

The plane for Miss Palmer is waiting,

Ghost Who Walks.

Thank you, Guran.

- Does Guran know the truth?

- Oh, sure. He just likes to call me that.

Goodbye, Devil.

Take good care of your master.

I'd better go.

Hey, Kit.

- I like her.

- Thanks, Dad.

Well, get going!

Before I go...

take off your mask.

Let me see your face.

Kit.

I'm not really permitted

to reveal all of my secrets, Diana.

You're not?

Actually I am,

but only to one person.

- Who's that?

- The woman I intend to marry.

- What if she refuses you?

- No one refuses the Phantom.

Goodbye.

Leave It to my son to let the perfect

woman slip through his ingers.

Fortunately,

Diana knew her own mind.

She vowed to herself that she would

soon return to the Bengalla Jungle.

Maybe then I can get some rest.
