Zeto ....why you make me come down here to the Panama waterfront in the middle of a foggy night like thees? Why is Capitain Bogart here?
You are paid well to do as you are told and be silent, Capitain Bogart
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Si .. if the Shadow appears it will be interesting to see if his powers are strong enough to save him from the Tiger sharks that swarm the mine fields of Panama!
We cannot wait much longer. The trawler must put to sea. What are you going to do with the girl if he does not come?
Don't be too sure, Senorita. This is Mr. Zeto. He has had experience inloosening the tongue of those who will not speak freely.
(EXCLAIMS-TRIUMPHANTLY) The Shadow ... he is here. He has walked into our trap!
You are very clever, Doctor Molloff ... but how do you know the Shadow is not on board this ship?
That power boat we heard half an hour ago was not cruising around for nothing. I tell you it's dangerous to stay in these waters after what hashappened.
Zeto is part of a Spy Ring, he takes out any problems or loose ends.

The good Capitain is no longer satisfied to take orders, Varita. He wants to know why my men spend so much time taking soundings off the entrance of the Canal. Why this fishing trawler he commands does not catch more fish.
(COLD AND DELIBERATE) You know too much, Captain ....much too much ... (SHOTS) and the sharks of La Boca will welcome you! (SHOTS)
Just this....We know you are not a deckhand! You are the LieutenantCartwright of the United States Naval Intelligence Division.
But this man does. Last night he come to the waterfront ... walked out on the fisherman's wharf .. three of my men thought they had him cornered but ...when they reached the wharf ... he ... he was not there!
No ... he was there. He spoke to my men ... but they could not see him ... could only hear his voice and his laughter ... laughter such as you might hear from the devil himself.
Perhaps you too have heard of him, Varita. He is the terror of the criminal world of America .. he succeeds where police and secret service and agents of counter-espionage have failed. He is a man all men fear yet no one has ever seen ... and his name ...Varita .. It is ... the Shadow!
What we do with Captain Bogart ... with the Lieutenant from the department of Naval Intelligence .. With the two Secret Service agents from Washington .... Where is the girl?
(SOFTLY MENACING) Senorita .. among my people there is a saying that the tongue is for speech .... and those who will not use their tongue for speaking have no need of it and they will not feel its loss if the tongue is taken away
Bogart is a captain of a fishing trawler. Angered and annoyed, he confronts Varita, not knowing it will be the last thing he does...

Yes.....and left for shark bait. Good heavens, Major...what use are the Army and Navy's elaborate defenses of the Panama Canal if every potential enemy of the United States knows as much about them as we do!
Or dead!
