The Captive Heart Page #4

Oh, a "Y" boy, eh?

You bet.

Me and Ted's

in the building business.

What about learning

the trade when we get home?

I'll be home long

before you two mugs.

You got out of tougher

spots than this, eh?

Sure.

Got a plan?

Dozens of 'em.

For instance...

You know, I can't make up me mind

whether to turn this into a brigantine

or a schooner.

I wonder how Jane's

getting on these days?

Who is Jane?

Your girl?

No, no, the Jane,

the strip in the "Mirror".

Oh, yes, the strip in the "Mirror".

Well, I suppose a highbrow like you

wouldn't read the "Daily Mirror. "

Why highbrow?

I mean, perfect German

and all that sort of thing.

Spent much time in Germany?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have.

Come to think of it, it's funny

that none of the rest

of your chaps

got caught with you.

Yes.

Did you have a company?

Yes, machine gun company.

Machine gun company?

You see...

I think I'll turn it up.

Wound's hurting a bit.

And all I have to do is stow away

in one of them garbage bins

Or something... why,

it's as easy as...

If you're planning

an escape, Mathews,

may I give you

a piece of advice?

Individual escapes

hardly ever succeed.

These things have to

be very carefully planned

and coordinated by

a whole group.

All the same, sir, I'm

gonna have a go at it

If you have no objections.

Well, good luck to you.

Good luck.

Two-faced bleeder.

I don't know what it is,

but there's something

phony about that bloke.

Always sucking up

with the german m. O.

Like...

Or somebody.

Look, men.

That settles it.

But they do have machine gun

companies in the German army.

Do you seriously think

he's a traitor?

He speaks German

as well as any German.

Of course he does.

Why shouldn't he be a German

planted here

as a stool pigeon?

That would account

for a lot of things.

Yes, we're always

talking about home.

- He never does.

- I hate to believe it.

Come in.

May I report

something, sir?

Go ahead.

Well, it's rather

confidential, sir.

It's about somebody

we think's a 5th colonist.

An officer?

A matter of fact, sir, it is.

Captain Mitchell, sir.

There you are.

A minute ago, he overheard me

planning a breakout

and went straight over and talked

to one of the German guards.

Thank you, Mathews.

Keep your mouth shut

for the time being.

Very good, sir.

There's only one thing

to do with a rat.

String him up!

Here, wait a bit.

Man's innocent

till he's proved guilty.

Don't let us behave

like a bunch of nazis.

Come on.

Oh, Mitchell, you didn't destroy

your identity card, did you?

No, why?

Oh, just check up.

Have a look at it?

Do you mind duplicating

your signature?

You can't do it, you swine,
