"The Red Sea Sharks" " Part 1" "Did you enjoy the film?" "So so." "The chap who played the lead is a good actor." "He looked a lot like our old friend General Alcazar." "The ending was far too improbable." "I can't believe things like that really happens." "You think about someone and then he pops up in the street corner." "just like that... wham!" "Look here, you misguided missile." "Can't you watch where you're going." "General Alcazar!" "Yes..." "It's extraordinary!" "Imagine." "The Captain and I were just talking about you!" "Ah. about me!" "?" "What are you doing here?" "Me?" "I travel..." "Por favor." "Excuse me please." "In mucho hurry." "Late for appointment." " Where can we get in touch with you, General?" " Hotel Bristol." "Adios. amigos." "Not very chatty. is he?" "Strange." "What's this?" "It's the General's wallet." "He must've dropped it when you bumped into him." "Hurry!" "Maybe we can find him." "I'd say the General has vamoosed!" "Are you sure?" "Look... he's a fairly heavy-built man with a small moustache." "No sir, I'm terribly sorry." "I've never seen the gentleman." "That's strange." "Hey!" "Why is the door open?" "Snowy?" "Poor Snowy... who's done this to you?" "By thunder!" "I'll get to the bottom of this!" "Billions of Blue blistering..." "Captain. are you all right?" "Who's the thundering son of a sea gherkin who did that?" "Nestor!" " Nes..." " Aaagh..." "Abdullah!" "Abdullah?" "Blistering barnacles!" ""Blistering barnacles!"..." ""Blistering barnacles!"" "Do it again, Blistering Barnacles!" "Do it again...!" "You young ruffian." "What are you doing here?" "Wait, Blistering Barnacles..." "I have a present for you..." "A present... for me?" "Dear little fellow..." "It's for you, Blistering Barnacles... from me." "Thank you." "Abdullah." "You really shouldn't have." "A cuckoo clock." "It's beautiful." "It's magnificent!" "To wind it up... you do this." "Blue blistering thundering typhoons!" "You won't get away with this." "You. stop!" "Touch not the son of my master." "I am Hassim." "Servant to His Highness, Prince Abdullah." "I bring you a message from my master." ""My dear friends." "I entrust to you my beloved son... "" ""Abdullah... for here, his life is in danger..." "Should misfortune befall me, as the falcon springs on the innocent gazelle," "I count on you, my friend, to provide Abdullah with the warmth and care he requires. "" ""May peace be with you and all members of your household. "" "Signed "Emir Ben Kalish Ezab"." "You little brat!" "I'm going to teach you a lesson!" "Oh, sir... it's dreadful." "Later..." "Nestor..." "later!" "But Sir, all those foreign persons have settled and served in the state room, Sir." "You'll feel better after a cup of coffee, Captain." "No. thanks." "I have to watch my nerves." "That little monster will be up in a minute." "Oh. no!" "Abdullah's coming!" "Prof. Calculus?" "Blistering barnacles!" "I have enough problems in this house without you rolling around like some out of control freight train!" "Rain?" "No. it's a splendid morning for a stroll." "Well. that's what I thought I was doing." "I see breakfast is served." "What...?" "Cuthbert!" "Why don't you take these infernal things off before you really hurt yourself?" "Nestor. will you answer that door?" "Begging your pardon. sir." "but the young foreign gentleman, your guest, sir finds it rather amusing to ring the doorbell again and again and then run off as soon as I open it." "Abdullah has gone too far." "Nestor, fetch the garden hose." "OK. open it." "Good morning." "Oops!" "What can I do for you, detectives?" "We'll be brief and to the point." "Tell us everything you know about General Alcazar?" "General Alcazar?" "Well, I knew him when he was President of San Theodoros." "Then he was deposed by General Tapioca in a coup." "Then he staged a countercoup and took it back." "And that's all." "That's all, is it?" "And what did he tell you last night?" "When you met up with him, to be precise." "Last night?" "Surprised you. didn't we?" "Well, it's true, we met last night." "He seemed to be in a big hurry." "Oh, and he told us he was staying at..." "The Hotel Excelsior." "We know that, too." "Excelsior. huh?" "Well... can't keep anything from you two." "But why are you asking about Alcazar?" "What's he done?" "What's he done, my dear fellow." "If you imagine we'd tell you that he's smuggling aircraft, you're much mistaken." "Or that we tell you that General Alcazar is mounting a counter-revolution after Tapioca redeposed him." "You can forget it!" ""Mum's the word. " That's all..." " Well said." "Thomson." " Thank you." "Thompson." "Goodbye." "Tintin." "Thanks for the information." "General Alcazar?" "Yes. sir." "You'll find him in the lounge." "That man that Alcazar's with..." "I know him." "His name's Dawson." "I had a run-in in with him in China." "He's obviously moved up to arms dealing..." "Oh..." "Thompson and Thomson are here. too." "Captain... give this back to the General." "I'm going to follow Dawson." "I'll see you back at MarlinsPike..." "Taxi." "Follow that black Jaguar." "Wait here." "And keep the engine running." "'Morning. guv." "Seen today's paper?" "Aah... very good!" "I see those planes we sold to Mull Pacha did a great job." "He'll be rid of the Emir in no time." "Now Alcazar's got his planes, so we can overthrow Tapioca once and for all." "Huh?" "Abdullah!" "That little pest!" "What's this?" "It was a young lad with a white dog." "What?" "Tintin!" "...bring you further developments on the coup d'etat in Khemed as they become available to us." "In other news, Mull Pacha's forces have taken control of the city of Wadesdah." "The Emir Ben Kalish Ezab is missing and feared dead." "Information is difficult to obtain at this time..." "Poor Abdullah!" "He's too young to realize how serious things are..." "Blue blistering barnacles!" "The little pest!" "The plague!" "That's it!" "He goes back to his father now!" "It's too late, Captain." "The Emir has been overthrown in a coup d'etat." "That's just great." "There's no way we can send him back now." "But there's nothing to keep us from going away." "Tintin, you're a genius." "But where?" "To Khemed." "Ah... yes... good!" "What!" "?" "In the middle of a revolution?" "No thanks..." "I'll take my chances with the kid!" "Let's pack." "Mull Pacha..." "Dawson here." "You should expect a visit from Tintin." "Put this in the baggage compartment once everyone is off the plane..." "Passports, please, gentlemen." "I'm sorry." "You have no permit to stay in Khemed." "What?" "You must reboard the plane and return to Beirut." "Blistering barnacles!" "There's nothing wrong with our papers." "What sort of yarn is that?" "It is done." "Mull Pacha." "Excellent." "Bon voyage..." "Tintin." "Another eternity in this flying coffin." "Rattling about like dice!" "I wonder what sort of trouble will drop on us next." "Thundering typhoons!" "Everything happens to me." "Are you OK?" "Tintin!" "I've had enough of this!" "You know Captain..." "I'll bet this Mull Pacha character had something to do with our being told to leave Wadesdah." "What's the matter, Snowy?" "What is it?" "Fire!" "We're on fire!" "Wadesdah tower... this is Khozd." "Starboard motor on fire!" "We're turning back..." "trying for emergency landing at wadesdah." "Port engine misfiring." "We're losing altitude." "Snowy... this is no time for games." "Give me a parachute!" "Sir!" "Just go and sit down." "I tell you..." "I demand a parachute." "Now look here... young fellow." "Thanks, friend." "Tell everyone to hold on tight." "I'm going to try to land." "Well, the fire's out." "but we better move into the shade while we wait for a rescue party." "Wadesdah is only 50 km away." "We won't have to wait long for them to find us." "Listen, Captain." "If they take us back to Wadesdah, we'll just be expelled again." "I think we should sneak back in on our own." "What?" "50 km on foot?" "It's our only hope of finding the Emir." "All right, Snowy, I'm coming." "I'll be right back." "Snowy is determined to show me something." "50 km... in this heat..." "I could sure go for a cigar right about now." "Even one of Abdullah's exploding cigars." "Tintin, are you all right?" "Snowy?" "Where's Snowy?" "Good ol' Snowy!" "You sensed danger, didn't you?" "And you tried to warn me." "And I just thought you wanted to play." "That had to be a time bomb, Captain." "And I'll bet it was intended for us." "Wadesdah will be crawling with soldiers." "And so will this crash site when Mull Pacha finds out we weren't blown to bits by his bomb." "Let's go..." "I've got a friend in Wadesdah, Oliveira da Figueira." "He'll hide us." "OK, Captain, they're gone." "Now let's find Oliveira's." "Captain?" "Come on... stay awake." "It's just down this alley." "Senor Oliveira." "Senor Oliveira?" "Come inside... quickly!" "There's a pretty heavy price on your heads, my friends..." "You can bet Mull Pacha's behind that." "Also known as Dr. Muller." "Dr. Muller?" "So once again I'm up against that scoundrel." "What's his involvement in this whole mess?" "Let me bring you up to date on the situation." "A few months ago, Wadesdah became a major link in the air routes of Arabair." "Then.. when the Emir out find out that Arabair was being used for some pretty nasty illegal traffic, he canceled the deal." "And I'll bet that's when all the political unrest flared up." "Exactly." "Heavily funded by someone as yet unknown," "Mull Pacha mounted a coup and force the Emir into hiding." "Captain!" "Are we sinking?" "No, Captain." "You just set your beard on fire." "I heard that the Emir was feared dead." "No... he is hiding in the Djebel mountains." "We absolutely have to get to him for his son's sake..." "First... we get some sleep." "Tomorrow I will find a way for you to leave the city and join the Emir." "Thundering typhoons!" "That was close." "Blistering barnacles!" "Now we're in trouble." "Quick!" "There's our guide." "Mull Pacha here." "Order the squad of Mosquitos to take off immediately!" "Their mission - to wipe out a party of 3 horsemen who have left Wadesdah and are heading for the Djebel mountains." "Dust cloud at 10 o'clock..." "Must be them." "There they are..." "I've got you now." "Tintin!" "Ready to fire." "Fire!" "Fire...!" "Mission accomplished." "Bungling oafs!" "You'll be court-martialed!" "Dismissed!" "Reduced to ranks!" "I'll have you shot...!" "Halt!" "Don't shoot!" "We're friends!" "Let the dogs bark, the cameras pass friends." "These strangers have come to see the Emir." "All right... come this way." "Wow...!" "Incredible!" "A whole city carved right out of the rock!" "Captain!" "You here!" "Unbelievable!" "But what about my son?" "My precious darling." "Where is he?" "Rest assured, Your Highness." "He's in good hands at Marlinspike." "Thank you, Tintin." "Your help is precious to me." "The resistance movement is growing." "And soon I will throw out that slimy serpent Muller." "But of course, Muller is just a front to keep us from seeing the real culprit, Di Gorgonzola." "Di Gorgonzola?" "The famous millionaire?" "He owns Arabair, which he uses to smuggle illegal refugees for astronomical fees." "The mangy dog!" "As long as that international crook runs scot-free, peace will be nothing but an illusion." "We have to stop them somehow." "It will be difficult." "Gorgonzola is very rich and very powerful." "By Allah!" "Let us hope your dog has not gone near Ayesha!" "Snowy!" "Calm down, Snowy..." "You see, Your Highness, the powerful ones don't always get the last word." "The Red Sea Sharks" " Part 2" "Are you still worried about Mull Pacha's soldiers?" "I just don't think they're going to give up that easily." "It took 3 days to arrange this boat." "So they must know by now that we're headed out to sea." "What a pessimist you are, Tintin." "What do you think they'll do?" "send a squadron of battleships after us?" "Well. not quite, but..." "Wait!" "Listen..." "Thundering typhoons!" "He's coming right for us!" "Hit the deck!" "Bandits!" "Pirates!" "Gangsters!" "Assassins!" "It's him or us this time." "Look out!" "Got him!" "Good shooting, Tintin!" "Captain... what happened?" "I don't know... some cowardly rat attacked me from behind." "Look out!" " My "dose"!" " Sorry." "Come on... there's no time to lose." "We gotta build some kind of raft fast before the whole thing goes up in flame." "May I have the pleasure of this samba." "Princess?" "But of course, Marquis." "Excuse me, my lord." "There is a radio call for you." " It's urgent." " Awfully sorry. dear lady." "Business... always business." "I am indeed a veritable slave." "Don't give it another thought, Marquis." "The Marquis Di Gorgonzola is a true gentleman." "Naturally, malicious tongues spread rumors that he has a shady past." "Hallo!" "Sheherazade to Blue Goat." "I'm listening..." "Mr. Blue Goat, powerful Mosquito has stung insect pests 1 and 2." "Over." "Message understood." "Over and out." "Blue Blistering barnacles!" "We've saved 2 cases of provisions and no can opener!" "It's enough to drive you crazy." "Help!" "Over here!" "There!" "It's the Mosquito pilot we shot down." "So?" "Let him take care of himself." "Help!" "Help!" "Help me...!" "Piotr Skut!" "I can't believe it's you!" "I..." "I am sorry." "Sorry?" "Sorry!" "You trigger-happy thug, you!" "Who put you up to this?" "I..." "Speak up, you blithering bombardier!" "Or I'll defreak you!" "Captain!" "M.." "M.." "Mull Pacha!" "He gave the orders. but..." "I think his orders come from Di Gorgonzola." " Di Gorgonzola?" " Please... careful with knife!" "So, tell me Skut..., why were you shooting at us?" "I take the job with added military..." "They tell me your boat is gun runners and to sink you..." "I'm sorry..." "Well, never mind." "The important thing now is to survive." "Try to drink some seawater." "Never... that's saltwater." "Really, Captain, it's not all that bad." "Are you out of your mind?" "You should never drink that." "It's full of plankton that the fish eat." "This not good." "Yahoo!" "There!" "A ship!" "We're saved!" "Just when you'd swallowed that liquid fish food!" "Hey!" "Over here!" "The ship, she not see us." "We've got to get their attention." "Has anyone got a mirror?" "Uh..." "You want comb too?" "No, thanks, just a mirror." "Well done. sailor!" "There... my lord, shipwreck survivors." "3 men and a little dog..." "Tintin survives!" " Shall I alter course?" " A waste of time!" "Proceed on course." "And not a word to the passengers." "Understand?" "Yoohoo..." "Marquis!" "Marquis?" "Where are you?" "The castaways, my dear fellow." "Out there on a raft." "How madly romantic." "Yes." "Isn't it exciting?" " I've just given the order to pick them up." " But I..." "Pick... them... up!" "Yes. sir." "Oh, how gorgeous!" "I've always dreamed of seeing real castaways." "Hooray!" "Those people are not to have any contact with my guests." "My name is not to be mentioned in front of them." "Understand?" "Can I believe my eyes!" "It's Tintin and his friend, the deep-sea fisherman Paddock!" "Art must embrace the children of adventure." "Castafiore!" "On behalf of Marquis Di Gorgonzola..." "Gorgonzola?" "Allow me to welcome you aboard the Scheherazade," "Carissimo mio!" " Let's hop back on the raft!" " My dear Tintin!" "And Captain Harrock!" "Haddock..." "Signora Castoroili." "Captain Haddock." "Sorry, senores, but His Lordship has given orders." "There is to be no contact with the castaways!" "Risk of infection, you know." "My good man, I am not you!" "I must get rid of Tintin." "I'm calling the Ramona!" "This is Rastapopoulos." "Ramona here." "What's up, boss?" "Allan, set a course for my yacht immediately." "I have some passengers for you." "Get dressed, quickly!" "You're in luck." "The freighter, Ramona, has agreed to carry you to land." "Good. fine..." "I..." "I'm coming." "Our castaways!" "They're leaving!" "I wish you a pleasant journey." "my dear friends." "Ahh... this is the place for me." "Back aboard a good old freighter!" "Hear, you two." "These are your quarters." "Why separate us?" "There's room for 3 here." "Right." "Skut?" "Open up, you ill-mannered savages!" "Open up!" "Well. well. well..." "Allan!" "This is a happy reunion, isn't it?" "You old bottle-nose." "We must have a drink on it!" "What's going on?" "What are you doing here?" "You still haven't figured it out, huh?" "I command this vessel and I work for Di Gorgonzola!" "My orders are to put you ashore at Wadesdah." "It's murder, there's a price on our heads." "You're breaking my heart." "Let's drink to my health." "Not a chance!" "I don't drink with Di Gorgonzola's monkeys." "Suit yourself." "But I'll just leave the bottle to console you." "Well... bye for now." "Sleep tight." "By the way, do you sleep with your beard under or over the sheet?" "Over?" "Not that way." "Under?" "Blistering barnacles!" "Not that way either." "Who needs blankets?" "It's too hot anyway." "Pull, boys... pull...!" "She'll blow any minute now." "There..." "I'm already asleep." "Too hot!" "Too hot!" "Assembly signal!" "Shake a leg there!" "All hands on deck!" "What's the matter?" " Get up and give me a hand." " What are you doing?" "Well... it's great to be free, but why the panic?" "Something's wrong!" "It's too quiet!" "Quick!" "Let's see what's happening." "Thundering typhoons!" "The ship's on fire!" "Pirates!" "Filibusters!" "Saltwater savages!" "18 tons of high explosives." "It'll make a pretty fireworks display." "Hurry!" "We have to find a raft or something and get off this tub." "Help!" "Help us!" "Who in the world could be down there?" "Help me... help get us out!" " Let's get them out of there." " Right!" "Hurry everyone, hurry!" "The ship's on fire!" "You heard him!" "Move it!" "We must help put it out." "Explosives!" "Captain!" "Everybody!" "Over here!" "We've almost got it beat!" "What gives?" "The fire's gone out!" "Bring her about, boys." "You've saved our lives." "How can we ever repay you?" "You can tell me why you were locked in that hold, for starters." "We are refugees." "The men on this boat promised to take us to America." " We paid them all we had..." "our life savings!" " Look!" "They are coming back!" "Captain, you think you can get the engines running?" "I'll need men for the stoke room." "Pull, boys..." "Pull!" "Valve closed, Captain." "Open Valve 2..." "Pour on the coal!" "Tintin, take the wheel!" "Come on!" "Row!" "Row!" "What?" "She's pulling away!" "I don't know how we did it." "but she's under way at last." "Thanks to our "crew"... ha ha!" "I'll send out a distress signal." "What?" "Skut... say something!" "You!" "Hurry!" "Escape!" "The fire!" "She pull up explosives!" "It's OK, Skut, the fire's out." "But what happened to you?" "They try to make me go with them." "But I refuse...!" "Not without you..." "Then they get angry and knock me out." "Come in, Ramona." "This is Red Sea Shark." "This is Red Sea Shark." "It's Di Gorgonzola's submarine." "Submarine?" "Ramona here." "Come in, Shark." " Come in." "Shark." " Finally!" "What's going on?" "I've been trying to reach you for hours." "Receiver was broken, but is OK now." "A sambuk is waiting for you at the usual place to pick up the cargo in your hold." "Message received loud and clear, Shark." "Over and out." "Is there any "cargo" on board, Captain?" "I thoroughly inspected the ship and all the holds are empty, except for the refugees." "The "cargo" is refugees!" "And I bet those sharks don't intend to take them to America either." "They probably intend to just dump them at sea." "Captain, we'd better tell those people out there." "I'll send out an SOS." "SOS..." "SOS!" "The Ramona needs help." "SOS!" "This is the Ramona." "We need immediate assistance." "What?" "!" "The Ramona's still afloat?" "That means Tintin must still be alive!" "This is the Battleship USS Los Angeles to Ramona." "Your SOS received." "So. the navy is butting in on our little business." "Well... it's not going to help Tintin." "Calling Red Sea Shark!" "You must liquidate the Ramona!" "You musn't worry!" "We know who the guilty party is." "As soon as we're all safe, believe me, he will be brought to justice." "Help arriving soon..." "USS Los Angeles..." "she is 3 hours away." "Tintin... come and see this." "What is it, Captain?" "Have a look..." "Wow!" "Flying fish!" "Beautiful!" "..." "Oh. no!" " Captain!" " Take it easy." "It's only a... a peri... a peris..." "A periscope!" "Headed straight for us!" "Battle stations!" "Clear the decks!" "Women and children first!" "Calm down, Captain!" "I'm perfectly calm!" "Tintin, you man the radio." "Skut, you're at the wheel." "Aye aye, Captain!" "Stand by... number 1 tube!" "Stand by number 1 tube!" "Number 1 tube!" " Fire!" " Fire number 1!" "Torpedo to port!" "Hard-a-starboard!" "Hard-a-starboard!" "Curses on them!" "They've swung away!" "Starboard 20 degrees!" "Speed 6 knots!" "Stand by... number 2 tube!" "SOS..." "SOS!" "Ramona calling USS Los Angeles!" "We are being attacked by a submarine." "Message received, Ramona." "We are coming to your assistance." "Hold steady!" "Go ahead, Tintin!" "Call for help all you like!" "You'll be shark bait long before help arrives..." "Thundering typhoons!" "Another torpedo to starboard!" "Full speed ahead!" "Billions of Blue blistering barnacles!" "We're stuck in reverse!" "Infernal machine!" "Curse them again!" "They're going astern!" "They're tough, those boys!" "Ready!" "Tubes 1 and 4?" "They're still going astern!" "We've got 'em this time!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Engine room!" "Too late!" "They got us!" "Those are the planes from the USS Los Angeles!" "Depth charges!" " And I thought we'd been torpedoed." " Look." "We're save...!" "They're surrendering!" "Still no news from Kurt and his submarine." "The fools!" "What are they doing?" "Hello!" "You better come to the bridge right away." "All right." "I'm coming." "It's the USS Los Angeles, sir, ordering us to drop anchor." "What impertinence!" "Stop the engine and launch my personal boat." "I'll go myself and tell those insolent cowboys what I think of their manners!" "It looks as if..." "Yes... they're dropping a launch." "No..." "I insist, my friends." "I will go alone." "Rastapopoulos!" "He must be the Marquis Di Gorgonzola!" "Let me have a look at that wretched refugee swindler." "Wait!" "He's sinking!" "Oh..." "The Marquis!" "How horrible!" "I don't believe it!" "Is he finally gone for good?" "Try to catch me now, gentlemen!" "Well. what a joy to be home again." "Listen to those familiar sounds." "The gardener mowing the lawn..." "Welcome back to Marlinspiiike...!" "That's a funny way to welcome people home, Professor!" "Welcome back to Marlinspike, gentlemen." "What on earth are those contraptions?" "Oh, no." "On the contrary." "I think they're the solution to the terrible traffic problems in our modern cities." "They're handy, lightweight, flexible..." "Fine!" "Fine!" "But where is Abdullah?" "You wouldn't believe it. 40 pounds per hour!" "Oh. sir!" "I'm so glad to see you back!" "Nestor?" "What's happened to you?" "I'm afraid Master Abdullah's visit was not very good for me, sir..." "But he's gone now." "He left you a note." "and the Emir Ben Kalish Ezab is in power once again." "bringing political stability back to Khemed and ending the illegal smuggling of refugees by the notorious international gangster, Rastapopoulos who is still missing at sea and presumed drowned." ""My dear Blistering Barnacles." "I have been very good." "I haven't played any jokes." "I'm a bit sad to leave, because it was fun at Marlinspike." "With love from your friend, Abdullah. "" "Isn't that sweet?" "He wasn't such a bad kid, after..." "Billions of millions of blue blistering barnacles...!" "The End..."
