"THE CRAB WITH THE GOLDEN CLAWS" "Well, Snowy!" "That's what happens when you go through rubbish bins..." "I don't go scavenging, do I?" "Lucky you didn't cut yourself." "Look at these jagged edges!" "Come on!" "And don't do it again or I'll put you on a lead." " One more!" " Yes, Sir." "Tintin, nice to see you!" "To be precise..." "It is nice to see you, Tintin!" "Cheers!" "Ah..." "Thomson and Thompson!" "Nice to see you!" "So, what's new?" "Everything's fine." "We're on a very important case." "To be precise... a very important..." "a very important case." "Have you read this?" ""Watch out for counterfeit coins" Yes, I saw that." "Well, we're in charge of cleaning that up." "Ah, jolly good!" " Are the duds easy to spot?" " Well, we've studied them." "We can spot one in a flash, but..." " Waiter!" "How much?" " 45p, Sir." "Here's 50 pence." "But most people are fooled." "Sorry, sir." "Good gracious!" "Someone's slipped me a dud!" "Here!" "Come and we'll show you the papers from our investigation." "With pleasure." " Where did you put the papers?" " You had them last!" "What's this?" "That?" "It's from Police Headquarters." "It was found on a drowning victim." "Did you notice?" "He had five coins on him..." "all duds." "Odd, isn't it?" "Very odd." "Excuse me..." "I'll be right back!" "I'll follow him!" "My cane!" "He forgot his cane!" "There he is!" "What's the matter?" "Well, the scrap of paper found on the drowned man... comes from a tin." "And I was holding that very tin just before I met you." "I threw it into that dustbin." "One moment!" "Tintin, shame on you!" "Rummaging through dustbins like a common mongrel!" "It's gone..." "but I'm sure I put it there." "It was a tin of crab." " Open your sack!" " No, it's not here." "This is odd... even fishy." "To be precise:" "It is fishy." " What's all the fuss about?" " They're absolutely daft!" "They're looking for an empty tin..." " A crab tin." " A crab tin?" "Another bone!" "Where did you get this one?" "When will you learn?" "Now, don't do it again!" "Where is it?" "The scrap of paper must have blown away." "Here it is!" "Now let's have a look." "Have I gone crazy?" "I'm sure I put my magnifying glass here." "I'll trace over this in pencil." "There's a 'K'... an 'A'..." "And that's an 'R' or an 'I'." "I've nearly got it." "Karaboudjan." "That's an Armenian name..." "Karaboudjan." "An Armenian name." "That doesn't help me much." "HELP!" "HELP!" "HELP!" "That was the landlady!" "A Japanese or Chinese man had a letter for you." "But before he handed it to me, a car stopped and 3 men got out." "They jumped on the Chinese man and beat him up." "Of course I shouted, "Help!"" "but they threatened me with a huge revolver!" "Then they threw the Japanese man into the car and drove off... with the letter." "A tin can, a drowned man, 5 counterfeit coins..." "Karaboudjan, a Japanese, a letter, a kidnapping!" "It's a real Chinese puzzle!" "Yes." "Oh, it's you!" "What's new?" "What?" "Yes, we identified the drowned man... who had that mysterious bit of paper and those five dud coins." "His name was Herbert Dawes, from the cargo ship, Karaboudjan." "The Karaboudjan." "Did you say Karaboudjan?" "Darn!" "Missed him!" " What happened?" " Ah, it's you." "I was almost crushed by that crate." "What brings you here?" "The chain broke." "We're boarding the Karaboudjan to ask about that drowned sailor." "May I join you?" " Will you be on board long?" " No, 30 minutes at most." "Take care of him while I talk to the detectives." " He must not leave this ship." " Got it!" "Okay, I'll meet you here in half an hour." "Here?" "Okay." "Hello, Mr. Mate..." "We've come about that poor sailor." "I'm at your service, gentlemen." "Will you come to my cabin?" "We can talk more easily there." "Careful..." "Mind the step!" "I see it." "...and the door frame!" "So this sailor liked to drink?" "On the night of his death, you saw him in town very drunk." "Then he fell into the water trying to get back to the ship." "For me..." "it's plain as a pikestaff." "To be precise..." "plain as a pikestaff." "Mr. Mate, I've finished that job." "Okay, I'll come and see." "As a matter of fact, we must go too." "We've wasted enough of your time." "Not at all!" "I'm delighted if I was able to help." "Yes, that door frame really is a bit low." " A bit low, yes." " A bit too low." "The young man who was with you said he couldn't wait." "He's just left." "That's right..." "We forgot about Tintin!" "Mind the step." "Goodbye!" "What could have happened to Tintin?" "Are you keeping up this little joke for long?" "Yes and no, young man." "It depends." "At least, tell me why I'm tied up here." "Don't play dumb!" "You know better than we do!" "But..." "Snowy!" "Good old Snowy!" "Snowy, bite through the ropes." "Then we'll say goodbye to these pirates." "Here's a coded radio message I just received from the boss." "Read it." ""Send 'T' to the bottom!"" "And I just sent Pedro to feed him." "I'll go get some rope and a bit of lead." "How nice of you..." "But how can I eat with my hands tied behind my back?" "You're right." "I'll have to loosen them." "But no tricks!" "One false move, and..." "He asked to free his hands so he could eat." "But as soon as I bent down, he hit me so hard." "That's nothing compared to what the mate will do to you!" "Idiot!" "Now we'll have to find him, you fool!" "And now he's got a gun." "I hope this is food." "Then we can withstand a siege." "Otherwise..." "Let's see." "Great snakes!" "Tins of crab!" "They're the same tins." "We'll sort that out later." "Let's go on checking our stores." "Champagne!" " Our supplies are taken care of!" " And how!" "Let me offer you a drink, Snowy." "Be quiet!" "They're looking for us!" "No use trying to open that door." "He'll have barricaded himself in." "We'll starve him out." "That's what you think!" "Opium!" "So we've got ourselves mixed up with drug-runners." "That changes everything." "They were right." "We've nothing to eat." "Well, at least we have plenty to drink." "Let's see if we can't get out somehow." "Unless..." "Yes, I've got an idea." "The captain wants to see you." "What does that old drunk want?" "Yes, I sent for you, Mister Mate." "It's wicked!" "Just wicked!" "I'm dying of thirst!" "I haven't a drop of whiskey!" "That's unacceptable, Captain." "I'll have some sent at once." "You're the only one who..." "You know very well..." "You know I wouldn't deprive you of your whiskey." "For then I'll be the only boss on this ship." "And I'll do as I like!" "Perhaps it's the whiskey..." "Shh..." "Not a sound!" "Who are you?" "Someone forced to sail in this vile tub." "Vile tub?" "I'm the Captain!" "I'll have you clopped in irons!" "Thanks, but I've just got out of them." "I've spent enough time in your hold with its cargo of opium." "Opium... in the hold?" "In my hold?" "You didn't know?" "Opium?" "But how?" "That's awful!" "I'm an honest man!" "Not a..." "So who?" "It must be Allan, the first mate." "He double-crossed me." "You must help me, Captain." "First, promise me you'll stop drinking." "Think of your reputation!" "What would your mother say if she saw you like this?" "My mother!" "There, there, Captain." "Please be quiet!" "Boo Hoo..." "Mummy!" "What's going on here?" "Mummy..." "I'm a miserable wretch." "Here, drink this." "It will make you feel better." "No..." "I promised him I wouldn't drink." " So I won't drink anymore." " Who did you promise that to?" "That young man..." "who was here." "What young man?" "Answer me!" "I don't know." "I've never seen him before." "Damn!" "Jumbo, you stay here and watch this port-hole." "If someone tries to climb in..." "you shoot him." " Here's a gun." " Right." " He must be unconscious." " Yes... or he's playing dead." "The swine!" " A champagne cork!" " In that case..." "Quick!" "Back again!" "I watched the port-hole carefully, but not the locker under the bunk." "And that's where he was hiding." "Mr. Mate..." "It's the wireless operator!" "I just found him, bound and gagged!" "Funny thing, Mister Mate..." "The longboat has vanished!" "Heavens, I'm thirsty..." "and cold!" "Wait a minute..." "Here's a jug of fresh water..." "and biscuits." "And rum!" "But I swore I wouldn't drink, and I'll keep my word!" "Well, maybe I could have a little drop." "Just to warm up." "Ah... that hit the spot!" "One more sip, then I'll throw it away." "It's already empty!" "Poor little chap is asleep." "He must be terribly cold, him too..." "Oh, I've got an idea!" "You're burning our oars!" "If you put that out, you'll have to deal with me." "A seaplane!" "We're saved!" "It has Moroccan markings:" "C.N." "You beasts!" "Swine!" "Cowards!" "He's coming back!" "Hooray!" "Splendid!" " Bang in the middle!" " I got him!" "They're getting out." "Just our luck!" "A single bullet cut the ignition lead!" " I'll try to fix it." " Okay, I'll watch them." "Look, they're both on the same side." "How is it going?" "It's nearly done." "There, it's ready!" "Hands up!" "That a boy!" "He's done it!" "Try and find some rope to tie them up." "Let's go." "So tell me..." "Who hired you to do this shady business?" "We aren't talking!" "As you like." "You'll talk when the police get their hands on you." "Wow, you can fly a plane!" "Are you sure this is the way to Spain?" "Yes, but it remains to be seen if we'll get there." "We're in for a rough time." "My God!" "This is frightful!" "We won't get out alive!" "Ah... a bottle!" "I hope it's whiskey." "And it is whiskey!" "Hey, that looks like a lot of fun." "Let me have a go!" "No." "But I told you that I wanted to!" "Don't touch that!" "Will you let me fly?" "Yes or no?" " One... two... three..." " Leave me alone!" "You're pig-headed..." "So take that!" "That was a narrow escape!" "My God!" "The two prisoners!" "They're still in the plane." "Stop!" "You're crazy!" "There!" "Say... are you really sure we're in Spain?" "Well... uh..." "Anyhow, we should be." "What a bone!" "Where did you find it?" "Come and see!" "There's a lot more." "Look..." "There's enough for everybody!" "A camel." "A camel?" "There aren't any camels in Spain." "This can't be Spain." "It's the Sahara!" "The Sahara!" "Then that animal... it must have died of..." "died of..." "Died of thirst, obviously!" "What's the matter?" "Feeling faint?" "The land of thirst!" "The land of thirst!" "Land of thirst." "Be brave!" "We aren't finished yet." "The land of thirst." "He looks at the end of his tether." "The prisoners have escaped!" "The land of thirst." "Their ropes were burnt." "They would have broken easily." "They're over there!" "Too far to try to catch them." "Come on, Captain!" "Maybe we'll find a well." "The land... of... thirst." "I need something to drink!" "I can't go on." "Be strong, Captain!" "Let's rest in the shade of that dune." "There!" "Lie down a bit." "It will do you good." "Tintin..." "Where are you?" "I need a drink!" "A drink!" "Nothing..." "Absolutely nothing!" "Nothing but endless desert." "A bottle of champagne!" "A bottle of champagne!" "This damn cork!" "It won't come out!" "Take that!" " Thanks anyway, Snowy." " I did my best." "I'm not a bottle of champagne!" "Look... a lake!" "Water!" "It's just a mirage!" "Water!" "A drink!" "I told you it was a mirage..." "not a lake." "But I saw it." "[ Arabic ]" "Ah..." "a bottle of Burgandy!" "Where's the bottle?" "Did you cry for help?" "What a nightmare!" "Where am I?" "What happened?" "Come with me..." "to the Lieutenant." "Here's the young boy." "It's good to see that you're on your feet." " I'm Delcourt, Lieutenant at Afghar." " How do you do." "I'm Tintin." " But how..." " How did you get here?" "Well, yesterday at noon... my men noticed smoke on the southern horizon." "I sent out a patrol." "They found you unconscious, and brought you in." " What about my friend?" " Here he is now." "Come in!" "Ahmed, bring three glasses and some spirits." " So the smoke was your plane?" " It was our plane." "The plane landed hard." "It flipped over and burned." " Sorry, I don't drink." " No?" "Are you sure?" "Er... no, thank you." "I don't either." "I..." "I never drink." "Ah... you don't either, Captain?" "Well, I won't insist." "Anyway, you saved our lives." "We would have died of thirst if not for you." "That's why you should have a drink with me." "But never mind." "So what brings you to this forsaken land?" "And here is the latest news." "Yesterday's violent storms caused the loss of several ships." "The Tanganyika sank near Vigo, but the crew were saved." "An SOS came from the Karaboudjan." "Another vessel went to help immediately... but found no trace of the ship nor of its crew." "It is believed the Karaboudjan sank with all hands..." "That's odd, don't you think?" "Yes, the Karaboudjan isn't a cockleshell." "To have sunk with no time to launch the lifeboats..." "It's unbelievable!" "I agree." "Lieutenant, can we leave today?" "I must get to the coast." "I'll explain why." "So soon?" "Yes, it's possible." "I'll send two guides with you." "That area has been quite safe for a few months now." "Allah, protect them!" "VISIT MOROCCO" "First we'll see if the harbour-master has news of the Karaboudjan." "Good idea!" "Tintin, where are you going?" "Get out of my way!" "Move along..." "MOVE ALONG!" "How shall I ever find Tintin?" "And now... it's off to the harbour-master's!" "How much is it, boy?" "15 francs." "Police..." "Police!" " What is it this time?" " My wallet's been stolen!" "I'll press charges..." "Robbers!" "My wallet!" "It's disgraceful!" "This is a city of pickpockets!" "I want my wallet!" "Here's your wallet!" "So stop your shouting!" "And if you make any more trouble, we'll run you in." "Sure thing, Admiral!" "Hooray for wine!" "Good old wine!" "For to sail the seven seas..." "For to sail..." "the seven seas..." "You need a heart well pleased." "You need to feel the part" "And wine gives you a happy heart" "You need happiness..." "not anger" "To skirt the danger" "The bottle and the sea..." "Are my good friends" "Good old rum and whiskey..." "Make us do crazy things" "Wine makes a man brave and eases a worried mind" "And on the open sea" "It's fun to unwind" "Good old wine is your friend" "A friend in good company" "The bottle and the sea" "Are my best friends" "Blistering barnacles!" "That's the Karaboudjan!" "Police!" "Arrest them!" "Police!" "I tell you..." "It's the Karaboudjan." "I'm her Captain!" "That's not the Djebel" " Whatever..." "You must arrest them!" "It's full of opium." "Hello?" "Yes, it's me." "What!" "The Captain is here?" "Are you sure?" "He recognized the ship?" "Confound it!" "He's been arrested?" "I'll be right over." "That's strange..." "the captain's not here yet." "I surely told him we'd go straight to the harbour-master." "Hello..." "Port Control here." "Ah, Mr. Tintin!" "Captain Haddock?" "No, we haven't seen him." "What could have happened to him?" "Captain Haddock?" "We just let him go." "He left five minutes ago." "He was brought in last night..." "for public disturbance." "He said he was going to the harbour-master's office... and that he had some very important news for you." "Hurry and you'll catch him." "Too late!" "To the station!" "Quick..." "Follow that car!" "Please get out..." "I was here first." "No Sir, I was before you!" "I'm not in the habit of arguing with pipsqueaks." "Now, get out!" "I must be at the Station." "Well, I must go to the hospital... because this rabid dog bit me!" "Quick..." "Follow that car!" "Which car, Sir?" "Which car?" "..." "That one!" "Heavens!" "It's gone!" "Now all I can do is find the alley where I saw Mister Mate." "Well, if it isn't..." "Thomson and Thompson!" "Thank goodness!" "You're safe and sound." "We didn't think we'd find you alive." "What I find extraordinary..." "is that he recognized us at once." "Tell us what happened aboard the Karaboudjan?" "When we got your radio message... we immediately flew to Bagghar, the Karaboudjan's next port of call." "Only here did we hear of its shipwreck." "Are you sure it was carrying opium?" "Quite sure!" "The drug is hidden in tins... with a red crab and the words..." "EXTRA FINE CRAB." "Tins of crab?" "That reminds me..." "I saw one in the shop where we bought our burnooses." "Really?" "Let's go look." "Where is the tin of crab that was on this table?" "That's the one..." "Open that tin!" "There!" " Look!" " Yes, it's crab." "Of course, Sirs..." "It's crab." "Good crab, Sirs." "Very good quality." "It's crab all right." "Yet the same tins on the Karaboudjan contained opium." "Very odd!" "To be precise:" "very odd... even strange." "Say, where did you buy this tin?" "From Mohammed Ben Ali..." "from his shop on the corner." "Look!" "They're the same tins." "Well..." "No one is here?" "To be precise:" "No one is here." "Hello..." "Is anyone here?" "Thomson..." "Where are you?" "Well!" "Look out!" "There's a step there." "Did you hurt yourselves?" " No, all's well." " We're okay." "Mind your hat!" " What are you doing here?" " Ah, so this is your shop?" "Who is the supplier of those tins of crab?" "They came from Omar Ben Salaad..." "the biggest trader in Bagghar." "He is rich... very rich." "He has a magnificent palace..." "with many horses and cars." "He has great estates in the south." "He even has a flying machine... which some people call an airplane." "Will you help me... and make some discreet inquiries about this Omar Ben Salaad?" "And try to get the registration number of his private plane." "But be discreet..." "very discreet." "You can count on us..." "We are the soul of discretion." ""Mum's the word"" "That's our motto." "Yes... "Dumb's the word"." "That's our motto." "Now it's time to rescue the Captain." "Hello..." "Mister Mate?" "This is Tom." "Yes, we got the Captain." "Yes, he made a bit of a row." "You're coming here?" "In an hour?" "Okay." "Does Omar Ben Salaad live here?" " We'd like a word with him." " He's just gone out." "That's him over there." "Make way!" "..." "Make way!" "..." "Make way!" "Make way for the mighty Omar Ben Salaad!" "Follow him!" "Let's go in." ""Visitors to the mosque are asked to remove their shoes"" "Alms, for the love of Allah." "The prophet will reward you." "Out you go!" "You filthy beggar!" "Not very polite!" "By the beard of the prophet!" "Thief!" "Come here!" "Give me back my lamb!" "A whole leg of lamb!" "You vile dog!" "If I ever see it again!" "Say..." "Snowy!" "You frightened me!" "Oh, that lamb!" "This is the best day of my life!" "Snowy, I'm like old Diogenes..." "I'm looking for a man." "You don't know Diogenes?" "He was a Greek philosopher who lived in a barrel." "In a barrel..." "A barrel!" "That's it, Snowy!" "Look Snowy, a way out!" "And here's a door." "We're on the right track." "Hooray!" "The tins from he Karaboudjan." "You Brutes..." "Bandits!" "Scream all you want!" "No one can hear you." "Be reasonable!" "So, for the last time..." "Where is Tintin?" "Right here!" "Hands up!" "Nobody move!" "Untie the Captain!" "Give me a hug, Tintin!" " My gun!" " Too late!" "This way, quick!" "What have I done?" "We're trapped!" "We've got them!" "This is the only exit!" "Hooray!" "They're backing off!" "Oh..." "All that good wine!" "What a terrible waste!" "Behave yourself!" "It's no time to drink." "Hey..." "Do you take me for a drunk?" "What's happening?" "My head is spinning." "The ocean is like a lady tra la la la lai doo" "Capricious..." "yet sweet too tra la la la lai doo" "The sea stole my soul" "And took my whiskey too tra la la la lai doo doo doo..." "doh doh doh tra la la la lai doo tra la lai di doo" "Tell me why do I see double?" "tra la la la lai doo" "You must have a long-lost twin." "tra la la la lai doo" "Millions and millions of somersaults." "Millions..." "Ha Ha Ha!" "It's not my fault!" "tra la la la lai doo doo doo..." "doh doh doh tra la la la lai doo tra la lai di doo" "My friends..." "Your Captain..." "Yes, Your Captain..." "Has become the King of Wine" "Sing along with us..." "the refrain" "The King likes to drink..." "and that's no lie." "tra la la la lai doo doo doo..." "doh doh doh tra la la la lai doo tra la lai di doo" "That's enough!" "Give me that bottle!" "My bottle?" "Treason!" "..." "Vengeance!" "You heretic!" "Slave-trader!" "..." "Vegetarian!" "..." "Pirate!" "Harlequin!" "..." "Hydrocarbon!" "Zulu!" "..." "Savage!" "..." "Gyroscope!" "Vengeance!" "Blackamoor!" "..." "Anthracite!" "..." "Coconut!" "Cannibal..." "Raven!" "He's back home." "Let's ask a few questions." "Master, two men want to speak with you." "They say they are making some inquiries." "Show them in." "I shall see them." "Mr. Omar, we've been asked to carry out an investigation." "A discreet investigation!" "And what is the subject of your investigation?" "A young friend of ours, Tintin... suspects you are involved in drug-running." "Are you, Mr. Salad?" "By the beard of the prophet!" "How dare you suspect Omar Ben Salad!" "Get out, infidel dogs!" "Get out or I'll have you flogged to death!" "Ectoplasm!" "..." "Lake sailor!" "Bashi-bazouk!" "..." "Zulu!" "So you are Tintin!" "Well, my young friend..." "This time your final hour has come!" " Who is this man?" " Omar Ben Salaad!" "He just assured us that he's totally innocent." "Him, innocent?" "His cellar is full of opium." "And look..." "Two crab claws made of gold." "He's surely the ringleader." "Quick, call the police!" "Hello, police?" "This is Thomson and Thompson, certified detectives." "After a dangerous investigation, we've unmasked a gang of opium smugglers." "Yes, exactly!" "Their leader is Ben Salaad... whom we have at your disposal." "Did you say Omar Ben Salaad?" "Are you pulling my leg?" "The most respected man in Bagghar, and you've..." "Caught him, yes!" "May the sky fall if it's not true!" "Omar Ben Salaad..." "an opium smuggler!" "Can you believe that?" "But what's going on now?" "Hooray!" "The police!" "Oh, no..." "It's him again!" "Arrest that Negro..." "He's a gangster!" "He beat me..." "with a stick!" "It's not the stick you need..." "It's my truncheon!" "Ah, the Police!" "Gentlemen, this is the man we have caught." "To be precise: this is the man." "There are more of them in the cellar." "The mate has escaped." "He's the most dangerous." "He went out the other way!" "Surround the gangsters here." "We'll chase the others." "He's a sailor." "He probably went to the port." "Police!" "Someone stole my motorboat!" "It's him!" "Quick, another boat!" "We'll get him..." "Our boat is faster!" "Take that!" "And that!" "And that!" "The boat is lurching wildly." "What a fight!" " One of them is getting up!" " Who?" "My word!" "It's Tintin!" "He won the fight!" "He's turning around and coming back!" "Give me that!" "Hooray!" "He's got the mate!" "That's the lot of them!" "Steady on, Sergeant!" "None of that!" "Thanks to Captain Haddock, we've arrested the Djebel Amilah, a.k.a. the Karaboudjan, and we rounded up all the crew." "Hands up, my friend!" "Handcuff him!" "Thanks to you, Mr. Tintin... the entire gang, "The Crab with Golden Claws"... is now behind bars!" "Hey, they're drowning!" "Do something!" "T" "THE" "Subtitles by ehho and Gianni777"
