1. It all started when Snowy and I
went to visit Pr. Alembick,
Copy !req
2. a specialist in the study
of rare seals and precious stamps.
Copy !req
3. Let me show you my collection.
Copy !req
4. This is my prize specimen.
Copy !req
5. It's the seal
of King Ottokar IV of Syldavia.
Copy !req
6. As a matter of fact,
I leave for Syldavia tomorrow.
Copy !req
7. I suppose
you're not interested.
Copy !req
8. I'd be glad to accompany you.
Copy !req
9. Ah, here it is. Syldavia.
Copy !req
10. "The symbol of the King's right to rule
is Syldavia's
Copy !req
11. most important treasure:
the Ottokar Sceptre.
Copy !req
12. Each year, the King must show
the Sceptre to the people.
Copy !req
13. If he were to lose it,
he'd have to give up his crown
Copy !req
14. to whoever holds the sceptre.
Copy !req
15. "For the last time,
mind your own business."
Copy !req
16. So I am onto something.
Copy !req
17. Someone was trying to stop me
from going to Syldavia.
Copy !req
18. Who were they? And why?
Copy !req
19. I was soon to find out.
Copy !req
20. I didn't realize
how beautiful Syldavia is.
Copy !req
21. You should see more of it.
Copy !req
22. This isn't my suitcase.
Copy !req
23. What is this?
Copy !req
24. Twins? So the professor is an impostor.
Copy !req
25. Now it makes sense.
Copy !req
26. They're planning to steal
the Ottokar Sceptre.
Copy !req
27. I only hoped I would be on time
to prevent the theft of the sceptre
Copy !req
28. and the overthrow
of King Ottokar XII.
Copy !req
29. Ah, Tintin.
You are a big fan of my singing, no?
Copy !req
30. You must be at my show tonight.
Copy !req
31. Actually,
I've got important business in Klow.
Copy !req
32. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
33. I mean, I'd love to hear you sing, but...
Copy !req
34. It is Ok, darling.
Copy !req
35. I understand.
Copy !req
36. I sing for you now, instead.
Copy !req
37. The palace is just down the street,
my dear.
Copy !req
38. You want me to drop you there?
Copy !req
39. It's OK, madam.
This is great, thanks.
Copy !req
40. Thanks again.
Copy !req
41. Let's wait here until this rain stops.
Ok, Snowy?
Copy !req
42. The rain stopped, Snowy.
Let's go.
Copy !req
43. Snowy?
Copy !req
44. Snowy?
Copy !req
45. Snowy!
Copy !req
46. Take that back!
Copy !req
47. Right now!
Copy !req
48. These are very serious charges
you make, Mr. Tintin.
Copy !req
49. I know they are, sir.
But I have proof.
Copy !req
50. I accept your story.
The captain will escort you to the King.
Copy !req
51. Thank you. Uh...
Copy !req
52. I will study this further and confer
with our security police.
Copy !req
53. Then I will join you with the King.
Copy !req
54. Hello. It's alright.
Copy !req
55. Tell the Central Committee
I have the notebook.
Copy !req
56. Excellent.
Copy !req
57. Snowy?
Copy !req
58. Mongrel!
Copy !req
59. Look out! It's an ambush!
Copy !req
60. Get him!
Copy !req
61. You're part of the conspiracy.
Copy !req
62. Thanks, Snowy.
Let's find the King.
Copy !req
63. Stop him!
Copy !req
64. There's no way out of here.
Copy !req
65. There he is!
Copy !req
66. The King must be in there.
We've got to get to him, Snowy.
Copy !req
67. Get him!
Copy !req
68. Your Highness.
Copy !req
69. Guards, guards!
Copy !req
70. - Arrest this man.
- No!
Copy !req
71. What is the meaning of this?
Copy !req
72. - Your Majesty, I must speak with you.
Copy !req
73. Be careful, your Majesty.
Copy !req
74. Don't trust the professor.
Copy !req
75. What did he say?
Copy !req
76. I apologize, your Majesty.
Copy !req
77. The police warned me
there was a mad man loose.
Copy !req
78. He'll be taken to the asylum immediately.
Copy !req
79. Come on, Snowy.
We must get to the palace.
Copy !req
80. This time, nothing's going to stop me
from speaking to the King.
Copy !req
81. - It's Ok, Snowy.
Someone call an ambulance.
Copy !req
82. Are you alright?
You?
Copy !req
83. Great snakes! The King!
Copy !req
84. It's the mad man, your Majesty.
Copy !req
85. Don't move.
Copy !req
86. Your Majesty, I'm not insane.
Copy !req
87. Your aide is part of a conspiracy
to steal the Ottokar Sceptre.
Copy !req
88. How can you prove such a statement?
Copy !req
89. I had documents
that identified the conspirators,
Copy !req
90. but I gave them to your aide.
Copy !req
91. Who knows what he did with them?
Copy !req
92. Please, your Majesty, you must believe me
or it will be too late.
Copy !req
93. Move him aside and get in.
Copy !req
94. We will go to Kropow Castle.
Copy !req
95. I will see for myself
if your story is true.
Copy !req
96. Papers.
Copy !req
97. Proceed.
Copy !req
98. I am the keeper of the keys.
Copy !req
99. I have been assigned to escort you
for security reasons.
Copy !req
100. The Ottokar Sceptre.
Copy !req
101. The guards will remain here
while you photograph the sceptre.
Copy !req
102. The door will be locked
from the outside at all times.
Copy !req
103. The King!
Copy !req
104. The keys!
Copy !req
105. Quickly.
Copy !req
106. Follow me.
Copy !req
107. The Ottokar Sceptre...
Copy !req
108. It's gone!
Copy !req
109. Sire, the sceptre has not been
recovered yet.
Copy !req
110. But we will be helped by two detectives
of international repute.
Copy !req
111. Tomorrow is the ceremony
of Saint Vladimir's Day.
Copy !req
112. I must produce the sceptre
or relinquish the throne.
Copy !req
113. - Tomorrow?
Your Majesty.
Copy !req
114. Presenting the world's
greatest detectives.
Copy !req
115. Thompson and Thomson.
Copy !req
116. Your Highness.
Copy !req
117. Hello, Tintin.
Copy !req
118. Fancy seeing you here.
Copy !req
119. Please, follow me, detectives.
I will show you the scene of the crime.
Copy !req
120. Ah!
Copy !req
121. Ah!
Copy !req
122. Oh!
Copy !req
123. Aha!
Copy !req
124. What have you found?
Copy !req
125. Those tricky devils used some sort
of stun gas in the flashbulb.
Copy !req
126. When it went off,
the professor held his nose
Copy !req
127. while the guards passed out.
Copy !req
128. Then, he threw the Sceptre
Copy !req
129. out the window.
Copy !req
130. Could you get us something
the same size as the sceptre?
Copy !req
131. - Is it possible?
- Could be.
Copy !req
132. Will this do?
Copy !req
133. Perfectly. Stand back.
Copy !req
134. Oops.
Copy !req
135. I'll show you how it's done.
Copy !req
136. Perhaps you should
question the professor.
Copy !req
137. Good idea, Tintin.
Copy !req
138. Precisely.
I'd better go and investigate.
Copy !req
139. That is to say,
we'd better go and investigate.
Copy !req
140. That's it.
Copy !req
141. Tintin!
What happened?
Copy !req
142. Tintin!
Copy !req
143. I know how he did it.
Copy !req
144. This is no ordinary camera.
Copy !req
145. See?
Copy !req
146. The professor carried it over
to the window,
Copy !req
147. loaded the sceptre into it like this,
Copy !req
148. aimed it through the bars,
Copy !req
149. and...
Copy !req
150. Bingo!
Copy !req
151. It should have fallen right around here.
Copy !req
152. What is it?
Copy !req
153. Over here!
Copy !req
154. But what if he aimed wrong?
Copy !req
155. He didn't.
The sceptre is somewhere here.
Copy !req
156. I've got it!
Copy !req
157. Good. Let's go.
Copy !req
158. Good boy, Snowy.
Copy !req
159. Run!
Copy !req
160. - Snowy!
Copy !req
161. Come on!
Copy !req
162. Good try, Snowy.
Copy !req
163. Come on! They can't be far.
Copy !req
164. - Oh no!
Copy !req
165. That's their car.
Copy !req
166. We've got to stop them.
Copy !req
167. Tintin!
Copy !req
168. - What happened?
- They've got the sceptre.
Copy !req
169. If you could lend us your car,
your Majesty,
Copy !req
170. the detectives and I
will try to catch them.
Copy !req
171. Of course.
Copy !req
172. Faster!
Copy !req
173. I'm going as fast as I can.
Copy !req
174. We're out of gas!
Copy !req
175. You fool!
Copy !req
176. Look!
Copy !req
177. They're still on our tail.
Copy !req
178. They're making a run for it.
Copy !req
179. Go! We will take care of them.
Copy !req
180. Gracious!
Copy !req
181. Stay here and draw their fire.
We'll sneak around behind them.
Copy !req
182. Righto!
Copy !req
183. - I say
- Oh, dear!
Copy !req
184. Keep your head down, Snowy.
Copy !req
185. Hands up!
Copy !req
186. Don't turn around or I'll shoot.
Copy !req
187. Drop your guns.
Copy !req
188. Thank you. That was very cooperative.
Copy !req
189. Detectives, it's safe to come out!
Copy !req
190. - Good show, Tintin.
- I say.
Copy !req
191. Keep an eye on them.
I go after the other one.
Copy !req
192. The other one?
Copy !req
193. He's getting away with the sceptre.
Copy !req
194. I must get to the border!
Copy !req
195. We can't let him
reach the border.
Copy !req
196. The border! I'm saved.
Copy !req
197. No!
Copy !req
198. He almost got across.
Copy !req
199. We have a long way to go, Snowy.
Copy !req
200. The ceremony begins
at 8 tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
201. I don't think we're going to make it.
Copy !req
202. That plane. It's landing.
Copy !req
203. - How about a short cut home?
Copy !req
204. Yahoo!
Copy !req
205. Things look grave, sire.
Copy !req
206. The people are already gathering
on the streets.
Copy !req
207. Rumors are spreading
that the sceptre is missing.
Copy !req
208. This could be trouble.
Copy !req
209. 19 kilometers. That's a 5 hour walk
over the mountains.
Copy !req
210. We've still got a ways to go
and it's almost dawn.
Copy !req
211. The crowd is anxious for the ceremony,
your Majesty.
Copy !req
212. We will begin soon.
Copy !req
213. We have to avoid that mob.
Copy !req
214. If they see me with the sceptre,
they'll know something's wrong.
Copy !req
215. Come on, Snowy.
Copy !req
216. Now to find the King.
Copy !req
217. It is my duty to tell the people
the truth.
Copy !req
218. No. There could be a riot.
Copy !req
219. People could get hurt.
Copy !req
220. Then you had better
tell them yourself, sire.
Copy !req
221. Very well, they win.
Copy !req
222. - I shall abdicate.
No!
Copy !req
223. Sire, I have the...
Copy !req
224. Great snakes!
Copy !req
225. Snowy!
Copy !req
226. Hooray!
Copy !req
227. My Lords and Ladies, I stand before you
as King of Syldavia.
Copy !req
228. And hereby bestow upon Tintin
Syldavia's highest honor.
Copy !req
229. Arise, Sir Tintin.
Copy !req
230. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
231. ECLAIR
