"Snowy!" "Go on!" "And hop, look out!" "Come on!" "Such fun they are having!" "Our stay at Gaipajama will be a nice memory." "After these adventures, you deserve a rest." "A stranger wants to see sahib Tintin." "He is from Shanghai." " From Shanghai?" " But no one knows I'm here." "This way, please." "We'll talk later." "Mr. Tintin?" "Whom do I have the honour?" "Pardon me." "I must be very careful." "I have extremely important things to tell you." "We need you." "A dart!" "The Radjaïdah!" "What were you going to say to me?" "Er..." "Mitsu..." "Mitsuhirato." "We need your help." "Mitsuhirato!" "Shanghai!" "Shanghai, and then?" "Shanghai." "Uh..." "I don't understand." "Toung Si Nan Peï!" "Too late!" "He has gone crazy!" "I need a doctor!" "Watch the prince!" " What's wrong?" " Look!" "My son, hurry!" "I have alerted the guards." "I have to leave." " Where are you going?" " To Shanghai." "Here we are, in Shanghai." "This is it." "Thank you." "Come on, Snowy." "No doubt about it, that is him." "Mitsuhirato." "How can I find this guy?" "Snowy." "A letter for you." "A letter?" "Mr. Mitsuhirato wants to meet us." "But how could he know that I was here?" "Ah?" "Oh!" "Here we are!" "Keep the change." "Please, come inside." " Thank you." " Sit, please." " Thank you very much." " I 'll get right to the point." "Did you meet my messenger?" "Yes, but a poisoned dart made him lose his mind." "Poisoned?" "He told me your name, and mentioned Shanghai." "Those villains are not afraid of anything." "Who are they?" "I cannot tell you more." "My life would be in danger." "You must leave Shanghai at once." " Huh?" " The Maharajah is in great danger." "Are you sure?" "Mr. Tintin, be reasonable and return to India." "And do not trust anyone here." "Most of all, you are in danger from the Chinese." "Is this really the right direction to our hotel?" "We have gotten ourselves lost." "Snowy!" "Wait, who are you?" "Come back!" "Hey you, stop!" "If I understand correctly, he saved my life." ""Please come!" "We are in danger." "Maharajah of Gaipajama. "" "The Japanese, Mitsuhirato, was telling the truth." "We have to return to India to find out what is going on." "A message?" "Let's see." ""Meet me at Tai Pin Lou at 10pm." "Look for the lantern."" "The letter is not signed." "This is all very mysterious." "Clothes?" "What do they want me to do?" "Is there anyone here?" "Bizarre." "Hi, I'm Tintin." "You wanted me to come?" "Hello?" "Tell me, are you deaf?" "Lao Tzu once said:" "We must find the way." " Oh yeah?" " Me, I have found it." "You must as well." "Yes, actually, that is just what I'm here for." "Then you will know the truth." "If you say so." "I will cut off your head." " What?" " Do not be afraid." "This blade is very sharp." "This will only last a moment." "Look." "It is just your head that will be cut off." "Poisoned, as I thought." "I did not learn much in Shanghai." "Isn't that so?" "Come on, Snowy." "What..." "Help me!" "Oh, Snowy?" "What has happened?" "Where are we?" "Uh, pardon me, sir." "Tell me, please." "Did you find the way yet?" "Well then, I will cut your head off." " No, wait!" " Don't be afraid!" "Would you stop that!" " Yes, dad..." " Now, now, let us be sensible." "All right, dad." "Please excuse my son, he was struck by madness." "Let me introduce myself." "I am Wang Chen-Yee, the father of him, who were to protect you." "I could do without that protection, thanks!" "Oh, are you absolutely sure?" "Was that your son?" "Yes, before losing all reason." "Why putting me under watch?" "Why am I here?" "I apologize for the brutal kidnapping to get you here." "The telegram was forged." "My son would have asked you to stay in Shanghai." "Unfortunately, he was unable to, and you had already embarked." "Follow me." "Here is a group of gentlemen whose aid will be invaluable." "Our secret society, the Sons of the Dragon." "We fight against the opium trade." "Our greatest adversary is a Japanese man." "This Japanese operates from Shanghai." "Mitsuhirato!" "Mitsuhirato." "In case you wanted to help us, we sent a messenger to India." "So it was your messenger?" "Not Mitsuhirato's." "He is a very dangerous man." "He should not be underestimated." "Did he succeed, our messenger?" "No, not at all." "A dart..." "The radjaïdjah, the poison of madness!" "What can I do to help?" "One of our secret agents informed us that" "Mitsuhirato is expecting a shipment of drugs, but we do not know when." "Mitsuhirato corresponds via radio with his accomplices, but we do not understand his messages." "Oh, this is it!" "Blizzard, ueda, location, Tuesday, storm, entraps, top, nine, ghurkas, T." "Can I try?" "I've got it!" "Yes, this is it!" "With the first 2 letters from each word, one obtains:" ""Blue Lotus, ten tonight"." "What is the Blue Lotus?" "That is an opium den in Shanghai." "I'll go there." "Let's go." "This is the time." "You're late." "Five thousand dollars." "You will receive the rest when the job is done." "And no mistakes, otherwise, it means death." "Mind your own business, and I will mind mine." "Understood?" "As long as we have an understanding, there will be no problem." "It is time to leave now." "After you." "Quickly!" "Wait here, Snowy!" " We're here." " Follow me." "To work!" "For that work, you owe me $5,000!" "It is money well spent." "Quickly!" "Help!" "Chinese terrorists blew up the track!" "Let's get going, before they arrive!" "We have been spied upon!" "There!" "Mr. Tintin!" "You're awake!" "But..." "I told you so, China is no place for the curious." "You are not only a drug dealer, but a terrorist as well!" "You are very brave, Mr. Tintin." "I very much appreciate your candour and your courage." "I will give you your freedom." "What, really?" "Why not?" "We are civilized people." "No, I do not want you dead." "I choose another method." "Mr. Li!" "The poison of madness!" "A mind as sharp as yours, what a pity!" "Just a sting, and you are free." "You can't do that!" "No!" "I'm going crazy!" "There, now you are free to do what you like." "You no longer pose a threat to anyone." "I'm a bird!" "I'm flying!" "Cluck, cluck, cluck!" "Goodbye, Mr. Tintin, pleasant trip!" "And send me a postcard." "I am a giant!" "This cursed mongrel again?" "I am a giant!" "Get out of the way!" "And now, this is for you!" "Snowy!" "The crazy one is not who you might think." " Mr. Wang!" " Tintin, finally!" "I was afraid I would never see you again." "Do you know that war has broken out?" "How so?" "You did not know?" "Terrorists have blown up the railway leading to Shanghai." "The Japanese sent troops into China." "Supposedly to restore order." "We believe it is..." "Terrorists?" "The railway?" "But it's a set-up, Mr. Wang!" "Mitsuhirato blew it up." "He is the terrorist!" "This trickster finances this war with his drug trade." "If this is true, then the hard part is done." "We know where to start." "I am most grateful." "Mr. Wang?" "What on earth, you!" "Don't worry." "I stole this poison." "What do you mean?" "You were stung only with water that I put in the bottle." "So that is why I'm not crazy." "Very good deduction, Mr. Tintin." "Mr. Li is an honourable member of the Sons of the Dragon." "He fights adamantly for our cause, just like you, Tintin." "Congratulations, Mr. Tintin." "Mitsuhirato remained knocked out for 5 minutes." "You have the courage of the tiger and the strength of the dragon." "And you, Li, the cunning of the fox!" "As Lao Tzu said!" "We must find the way." "I will cut off your head, and then..." "Ayee!" "What was that?" "All because of this terrible poison of madness!" "My poor son!" "Didi!" "Didi!" "Poor Mrs. Wang." "There must be someone who could discover an antidote." "Perhaps Professor Fang in Shanghai." "It would be too dangerous to go back there." "Dangerous or not, I'm going." "No, wait!" "Do not go, the soldiers are looking for you." "I'll find a way back in town, I have to." " Hello?" " This is Mitsuhirato." "Oh, Mr. Mitsuhirato!" " Did you catch Tintin?" " No." " Not yet." " I advise you to hurry." "Yes, sir." " Commander!" " What do you want?" "An urgent message from the general's office, commander." "The new general will pass through here this morning, for a tour of inspection." "Everything must be impeccable:" "Maintenance, lodgings, etcetera." "Understood, commander!" "At my command!" "Present arms!" "General, the inspection can begin." "Yes, sir." "I did not have time to shave." "Four days detention?" "Yes, yes, general." "Four days more?" "But it's the wind..." "Eight days?" "But... that is to say..." "Yes, general." "Eight days detention for a paper!" "I'll have to get along with the general." " Commander!" " What do you want again!" "A man wants to see you." " He claims to be the general." " No!" "It can't be!" "Skronyonyo, I am General Haranochi!" "Now we can free ourselves from this disguise." "Feels better, huh, Snowy?" "We must pass the checkpoint." "Professor Fang Se Yeng lives on the other side." "Look out!" "It's going to crash!" "But hey!" "You!" "Stop!" "Well played." "Catch him!" "This will be tough..." "Courage, Snowy." "As soon as the truck slows down, I'll jump off." "Hello, I just came to see Professor Fang." "My master is not home yet." "Please wait." "Quick, wake up!" "I'm worried." "My master was going to be back at ten, and now it is one o'clock." "Where did he go?" "At the reception of the Palace Hotel." "Given by Mr. Rastapopoulos?" "But what is he doing in Shanghai?" " Come on, Snowy!" " But?" ""We hold Professor Fang Se Yeng captive." "Go to the temple of Hu-Kou with $ 50,000." "You will receive further instructions." "If you alert the police, he will be executed."" "What?" "What is happening?" "The train has come to a stop, due to the railway being blocked." "Snowy, we will have to walk to Hou-Kou." "No choice but to go back." "And now, what should we do?" "Help!" "Help me!" " Quickly!" " Help!" "Hold on, I'm coming!" "You saved my life." "How can I thank you?" "The important thing is that you're alive." " What happened?" " The orphanage where I lived was flooded." "What will you do now?" "I don't know." "Can I go with you?" "The place where I'm going is very dangerous." "There is a Chinese proverb:" ""Breaking a twig, that is easy." "But breaking two at once is much harder."" " My name is Tintin." " And I am Chang." "It's settled then." "Under way to Hou-Kou!" "I know a shortcut." "Hello?" "Commissioner?" "Do we have a deal?" "You will arrest Tintin." "Yes, Mr. Mitsuhirato, we have a deal." "My special team has just arrived." "This is your police warrant, gentlemen." "We are required to stop a friend of ours." "Poor Tintin." "Here we are, Hou-Kou." "What an amazing landscape!" "We have to cross the city to reach the temple." "Do not look back, someone is following us." "Look at these two!" " You, Thomson and Thompson!" " Tintin!" " My God!" " Oh!" " What is it?" " An arrest warrant with your name." " But...?" " For the abduction of Fang Se Yeng." "But..." "That is what is written." "Can I see your warrant?" "Uh, well, I..." "Where is it?" "Damn, I must have dropped it." "Look, here it is." " What a scandal!" " I would go even further!" "This cannot be happening!" "Why did they let me go?" "I replaced the warrant with a note saying:" ""This is the official proof we are both crazy! "" "Poor Thomson and Thompson!" "We will solve the Tintin problem." "His journey will come to an end at the Hou-Kou temple." "Here it is, the old temple." "It is very well-visited by tourists." "And now what do we do?" "The kidnappers told me that I should await other instructions here." "A nice photo?" "Careful, he is not Chinese." "I take your picture for only 5 Yuan." "It may be our contact." " Yes, okay." " Here, come sit." "Perfect." "Attention, the little bird will come out." "Tintin!" "I'll teach you to meddle with everything!" "Hands off, or I'll photograph you!" "Are you all right?" "It's just a scratch, thanks to you." "So it was a trap!" "They wanted to kill you!" "Let us deal with Mitsuhirato." "We'll go back to Shanghai." "How's your arm?" "It's okay." " Tintin?" " Yes?" "Be careful." "Yamato!" "Take any men necessary and bring me Wang." "There is a change it would make the damned Tintin return." "Thus, all birds would be in the same cage." "There is no time to lose." "Mr. Wang is in danger!" "We need a vehicle!" "Tintin, here!" "Take us to Nanjing road, it is a matter of life or death!" "I am not a taxi, me!" "This is a private car!" "Come back here now!" "You have no right!" "Thief!" "Oh no!" "Oh, just in time!" "We have to take a detour." "Everything looks calm." "He is alive." " It's chloroform." " I found something." "The Blue Lotus!" "It is signed by Wang." "They took him to the opium den." "What are you doing?" "There he is!" "Bring him in." "Not a bad trick if I may say so myself, the piece paper signed with "Mr. Wang"." "I strongly protest!" "I have no idea what you mean!" "You protest?" "You don't lack cheek!" "It's not Tintin, you fool!" "This cannot be happening!" "Free him immediately!" "Please excuse my associates' clumsiness." "They had you confused for another." "They will be punished for their grave mistake." "This is an unfortunate misunderstanding." "Good evening." "You lot of idiots!" "Prepare the truck!" "The merchandise arrives tonight, Pier 9." "Yes, boss." "And now, the last one." "So far, so good..." "That's it!" "Here we go." "Everything went as planned." "Perfect." "Come Mr. Wang, we must not miss this show." "Yamato!" "Put your hands in the air!" " Tintin!" " Tintin!" "You have arrived at your destination!" "How did you know, Mr. Mitsuhirato?" "A man saw you leave the Blue Lotus." "You were so close to your goal." "Here, Grand Master." "Rastapopoulos!" "Yes, Rastapopoulos, who fell down the rocks to his death, or so you thought." "You, the boss?" "Look!" "The sign of the Pharaoh Kih-Osk?" "You are the master of this international opium ring?" "Get rid of him!" "We are ready, Grand Master!" "Lao Tzu said:" "you must find the way." "Me, I found it." " Didi?" " Didi?" "This time, you can say your goodbyes, Mr. Tintin." "This is my revenge!" "It's very simple." "I will cut off your head!" "An then... you will know the truth." "Hands in the air!" "Bravo, Chang!" "You thought I would throw myself alone into the lion's den?" "The Sons of the Dragon were hidden in these barrels." "Where is Rastapopoulos?" "A secret door?" "Professor Fang?" "He went through the curtain." "The Blue Lotus!" "We seek the Blue Lotus." "I would go even further." "In the name of the law, you are under arrest!" "I raise my glass for Professor Fang Se Yen, who discovered the antidote and saved my son." " Bravo!" " Bravo!" "And my son Didi who recovered his sanity." "Excuse me, Master..." "Oh, excuse me, sir." "Hey, Tintin!" "We came to congratulate you." " And you know..." "We did not ever believe you were guilty!" "To be precise:" "Never!" "But we had to obey orders." "So let bygones be bygones, and please join us." "And I would like to welcome Chang to my family, as my own son." "I wish that..." "Although the departure of Tintin will fill our hearts with sadness, there will be a rainbow in my heart." "I laugh, having found a new brother, and, bless the sky, nobody has lost his head!" "Farewell, Tintin." "Your memory will remain in my heart as the purest crystal."
