1. It all started when
General Tapioca arrested Madam Castafiore
Copy !req
2. and the detectives in San Theodoros.
Copy !req
3. This may be a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
4. And that is why
I invite Tintin and his friends
Copy !req
5. to clear things up.
Copy !req
6. We must go to Tapiocapolis now!
Copy !req
7. It says here
that Tapioca got into power
Copy !req
8. by toppling the last ruler
in a military coup.
Copy !req
9. That's General Alcazar!
He's a friend of mine.
Copy !req
10. In the past year,
Tapioca has come under attack
Copy !req
11. from a terrorist group
called the Picaros.
Copy !req
12. It's okay, they must be Alcazar's men.
Copy !req
13. You're in great danger.
Copy !req
14. An attack by the Picaros will be faked.
Copy !req
15. In the course of the fighting,
you will all be killed!
Copy !req
16. Killed?
Copy !req
17. Tomorrow, you'll go on a trip
Copy !req
18. to see the Pyramid of Hotuataboti.
Copy !req
19. You'll ask the soldiers
to climb to the top.
Copy !req
20. Once we're gone,
a real Picaros attack will be mounted.
Copy !req
21. General Alcazar!
Copy !req
22. Hop in, amigo!
Copy !req
23. Alcazar's truck is on its way.
Copy !req
24. Don't miss it. Over.
Copy !req
25. Stop the truck!
Copy !req
26. - Are you crazy, amigo?
- Stop!
Copy !req
27. No one could survive that.
Copy !req
28. Now General Tapioca thinks we're dead,
Copy !req
29. so we'll make a plan
to rescue our friends.
Copy !req
30. Want to join the Picaros?
Copy !req
31. Oh, great! That's all we need.
Copy !req
32. We went from plotters to prisoners,
Copy !req
33. ambush victims to terrorist guerillas.
Copy !req
34. What next?
Copy !req
35. How much longer
Copy !req
36. will we tramp
through this overgrown plant store?
Copy !req
37. It is not far
from the camp now!
Copy !req
38. How many Picaros are there?
Copy !req
39. Thirty or so.
Copy !req
40. Thirty?
Is that enough to overthrow Tapioca?
Copy !req
41. With me as their leader,
30 Picaros can do anything.
Copy !req
42. We plan to sneak into the capital
during Carnival
Copy !req
43. and free your friends!
Copy !req
44. - Captain?
Copy !req
45. Captain? Are you okay?
Copy !req
46. Anchors away!
Copy !req
47. How did they get those bottles?
Copy !req
48. Tapioca drops them into the jungle.
Copy !req
49. He know the Picaros will drink them
so they will not be able to fight.
Copy !req
50. The Bandito River
will lead us to the Picaro camp!
Copy !req
51. Take cover!
Copy !req
52. If it's one of Tapioca's,
Copy !req
53. hope they didn't see us!
Copy !req
54. Captain!
Copy !req
55. What's that? A Picaro by the river?
Copy !req
56. Where did he go?
Copy !req
57. Caramba! He's disappeared!
Copy !req
58. Captain!
Copy !req
59. Blue blistering barnacles!
Copy !req
60. Hang on, Captain!
Copy !req
61. How did I get here?
Copy !req
62. - Gunshots coming from the camp!
Copy !req
63. Uh-oh. Looks like the bottles
got here before we did.
Copy !req
64. El General! Come join the party!
Copy !req
65. Caramba!
Copy !req
66. Ah! Viva el General!
Copy !req
67. Alcazar!
Copy !req
68. You've got some nerve! Sneaking
out of the camp without telling me!
Copy !req
69. If you think you can just run off
and leave me anytime you want,
Copy !req
70. you've got another thing coming!
Understood?
Copy !req
71. - Yes, my dove.
- And who are these guys?
Copy !req
72. These are my old friends:
Copy !req
73. Captain Haddock, Tintin
and Professor Calculus.
Copy !req
74. My dear lady! Your lovely welcome
has moved me deeply.
Copy !req
75. It shall be a pleasure to share
your company as we prepare for war.
Copy !req
76. Oh! Well...
Copy !req
77. They can stay in the tool hut.
Copy !req
78. She may seem a little harsh,
but she has a heart of gold.
Copy !req
79. Alcazar!
Copy !req
80. What a charming woman!
Such grace and beauty.
Copy !req
81. As for her husband,
his revolution will never succeed
Copy !req
82. if his army keeps drinking.
Copy !req
83. I know.
There goes our best chance to rescue
Copy !req
84. the Thompsons and Madam Castafiore.
Copy !req
85. Luckily for everyone,
I've been doing some herbal experiments
Copy !req
86. in jungle apothecary.
Copy !req
87. Jungle a-poth-a-what?
Copy !req
88. Not at all, Captain.
Copy !req
89. I've developed something
that will make those men stop drinking.
Copy !req
90. Anyone taking one of these pills will
find the taste of alcohol unbearable.
Copy !req
91. And the very first person
I tested it on was you, Captain.
Copy !req
92. Me? You miserable,
blundering barbecued blister!
Copy !req
93. My sister has nothing to do with it!
Copy !req
94. It's a scandal!
Copy !req
95. Hmmm... Pills?
The Picaros will probably resist it...
Copy !req
96. My sister?
I asked you to leave her out of this.
Copy !req
97. No, professor.
The Picaros will resist taking the pills!
Copy !req
98. Unless we sneak them into their food.
Copy !req
99. It's worth a try.
Copy !req
100. Come to think of it,
I don't have a sister.
Copy !req
101. But if I did, this is the last place
I'd want her to be.
Copy !req
102. I know how to stop
the Picaros from drinking.
Copy !req
103. But first you have to promise
a peaceful revolution.
Copy !req
104. No executions!
Copy !req
105. A revolution without executions?
Copy !req
106. I would be
the laughingstock of the country!
Copy !req
107. But...
Copy !req
108. Surely...
Copy !req
109. We can make another deal?
Copy !req
110. How about a fifth of the gold
reserves in El Banco Nacional?
Copy !req
111. I'm not interested in money.
I want a peaceful revolution.
Copy !req
112. Forget it. I'll get the Picaros
under control myself.
Copy !req
113. Grenade!
Copy !req
114. Tear gas!
Copy !req
115. Tintin...
Copy !req
116. I have changed my mind.
Copy !req
117. I will accept your conditions.
Copy !req
118. Now, you must watch the ridiculous
justice of General Tapioca!
Copy !req
119. TV coverage?
Even in a remote jungle camp?
Copy !req
120. Before you
sit two evil, brutal men.
Copy !req
121. So cunning are these would-be assassins,
Copy !req
122. they have even grown moustaches
to better fit in and gain our trust!
Copy !req
123. - We object!
- We were born with our moustaches!
Copy !req
124. Silence! I find you guilty! Death!
Copy !req
125. It's not fair!
Copy !req
126. I told you, amigo.
Copy !req
127. As for you, Bianca Castafiore...
Copy !req
128. You'll spend your life in prison.
Copy !req
129. Ah, you are making a joke, no?
Copy !req
130. A silly joke made by a silly soldier.
Copy !req
131. It's no joke. Here is proof.
Copy !req
132. You make me laugh!
Copy !req
133. Oh, my! Gentlemen, please!
Copy !req
134. Kill him! Hang the traitor!
Copy !req
135. What's going on?
Copy !req
136. This spy!
I caught him dropping pills in the chili!
Copy !req
137. He was trying to poison us!
Copy !req
138. General!
Copy !req
139. It's okay, amigos.
Those pills were only vitamins.
Copy !req
140. I don't trust this food!
The dog must eat it first.
Copy !req
141. Doggy woggy, come!
Good stuff! Yum!
Copy !req
142. Eat it!
Copy !req
143. Amigos, who wants to eat this stuff?
Copy !req
144. - Back! Snowy, eat!
Copy !req
145. Eat!
Copy !req
146. Come on, boy!
Copy !req
147. You see? Totally safe!
Copy !req
148. I say, how far to Tapiocapolis?
Copy !req
149. Ah, we aren't sure.
Copy !req
150. Bless my buttons!
Copy !req
151. Look who it is!
It's Tintin and the captain.
Copy !req
152. Jolyon Wagg?
Copy !req
153. You've got it old friend.
Copy !req
154. Oopsie daisy!
Copy !req
155. Me and my troupe, the Jolly Follies,
have been invited to the big Carnival.
Copy !req
156. I designed those costumes myself.
Copy !req
157. Nice, eh? Don't you think?
Copy !req
158. Hmmm... Very interesting.
Copy !req
159. What's going on, amigo?
Copy !req
160. Ah, the chap in charge!
Copy !req
161. Can my gang spend the night in your camp?
Copy !req
162. Forget it!
Copy !req
163. Ah, General?
Copy !req
164. Perhaps I spoke a little hastily,
my friend.
Copy !req
165. You may stay here as long as you like.
Copy !req
166. Morning, Professor. Sleep well?
Copy !req
167. Alcazar!
Copy !req
168. Where is that lazy...
Copy !req
169. Peggy, my dove. At dawn
we left to overthrow the tyrant Tapioca.
Copy !req
170. Love, Alcazar.
Copy !req
171. P.S. Due to the revolution,
Copy !req
172. I won't be in time to cook dinner.
Copy !req
173. Alcazar!
Copy !req
174. Alcazar!
Copy !req
175. I feel bad
Copy !req
176. sneaking off with Wagg's bus.
Copy !req
177. What's more important?
Some silly tourists
Copy !req
178. or winning the revolution and saving
your friends from the firing squad?
Copy !req
179. If you put it that way...
But will we make it in time?
Copy !req
180. Another hour and we will be there
in time for part two of your plan!
Copy !req
181. Long live the revolution!
Copy !req
182. A carnival and an execution
on the same day!
Copy !req
183. Isn't life grand, Colonel Alvarez?
Copy !req
184. It is with you as our leader,
Your Excellency!
Copy !req
185. Look at those people!
All of them love me.
Copy !req
186. Is it really safe
to stand on this balcony?
Copy !req
187. What if some treacherous Picaros
have sneaked into town?
Copy !req
188. The Picaros? Nonsense!
Copy !req
189. Colonel Sponsz has taken care
of them. Haven't you, Colonel?
Copy !req
190. You worry too much.
Copy !req
191. The Picaros are far away
and too drunk to be of any danger.
Copy !req
192. You see, Colonel Alvarez?
You worry too much.
Copy !req
193. And what is this?
Copy !req
194. Remember your promise, General.
No bloodshed.
Copy !req
195. Sí, I remember.
Copy !req
196. Ready with the chloroform?
- Ready!
Copy !req
197. They are hilarious!
Copy !req
198. Alvarez,
I would like to meet some of them.
Copy !req
199. The show is over, Tapioca!
Copy !req
200. Is this a joke?
Copy !req
201. Sí, the biggest joke ever!
Copy !req
202. Alcazar?
Copy !req
203. That's General Alcazar to you.
Copy !req
204. Captain! Look who's at the window.
Copy !req
205. Colonel Sponsz, we meet again.
Copy !req
206. Tintin?
Copy !req
207. I heard you were behind this, Sponsz.
Copy !req
208. Nonsense! The Bordurian government
has sent me here
Copy !req
209. as an official representative to advise
General Tapioca's military.
Copy !req
210. He's lying.
Copy !req
211. Be quiet!
Copy !req
212. No, let's hear it, Alvarez.
Copy !req
213. He wanted revenge for when
you humiliated him in his homeland.
Copy !req
214. So, he planted documents
on Madam Castafiore and arrested her...
Copy !req
215. Knowing I would come to help them.
Copy !req
216. Nice try, Sponsz.
Copy !req
217. Read it! Read it!
Copy !req
218. No.
Copy !req
219. I said... Read it!
Copy !req
220. "Citizens of San Theodoros: Rejoice!
Copy !req
221. I, General Tapioca, surrender
all my power to General Alcazar."
Copy !req
222. Get this tape to the radio station!
Have them play it right away.
Copy !req
223. - As for your execution...
- Ah, General?
Copy !req
224. There will be no execution.
Copy !req
225. No execution? Are you crazy?
Copy !req
226. It's not my idea! It's his.
Copy !req
227. But señor, he has to execute me.
Tradition demands it.
Copy !req
228. Sorry, Tapioca. You'll be exiled
to Borduria with your pal, Sponsz.
Copy !req
229. Exiled?
Copy !req
230. You can't! The shame! The humiliation!
Copy !req
231. Alvarez!
Copy !req
232. Unless you want
to join him in Borduria,
Copy !req
233. get on the phone and stop
the Thompsons' execution.
Copy !req
234. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
235. The phone's dead.
Copy !req
236. The Picaros must've cut the lines.
Copy !req
237. We have to get to the prison!
Copy !req
238. Colonel Alvarez! Take Tintin
and the captain to the prison.
Copy !req
239. Sí, el General!
Copy !req
240. Hurry, amigos. We only have
five minutes to stop the firing squad.
Copy !req
241. I am sorry señores, but it is time.
We must go.
Copy !req
242. Right then.
Copy !req
243. - One must be on time.
- Precisely, Thompson.
Copy !req
244. One must always be on time
for one's execution.
Copy !req
245. Citizens of San Theodoros:
Rejoice!
Copy !req
246. I, General Tapioca, surrender
all my power to General Alcazar.
Copy !req
247. If only we had a car.
Copy !req
248. It would never make it
through this crowd.
Copy !req
249. No, but that big float will.
Copy !req
250. To the prison, quickly!
Copy !req
251. Clear the road!
Copy !req
252. Look out!
Copy !req
253. Coming through!
Copy !req
254. A final cigarette?
Copy !req
255. Bad for our health!
Copy !req
256. Blindfolds?
Copy !req
257. A Thomson
likes to look death right in the eye.
Copy !req
258. - Right, Thompson.
- Right.
Copy !req
259. Squad!
Copy !req
260. Ready!
Copy !req
261. There's the prison.
Copy !req
262. Well, Thomson. Any last words?
Copy !req
263. How about... goodbye?
Copy !req
264. Aim!
Copy !req
265. Hold your fire!
Copy !req
266. Hands up!
Copy !req
267. By order
of His Excellency General Alcazar,
Copy !req
268. this execution is cancelled.
Copy !req
269. Sorry
we couldn't get here sooner.
Copy !req
270. Quite alright, Tintin. We're policemen.
Copy !req
271. All in the line of duty.
Copy !req
272. Now, what about Madam Castafiore?
Copy !req
273. You fool!
Tell that chef of yours I said al dente!
Copy !req
274. Mamma mia!
Copy !req
275. My rescuing prince!
Copy !req
276. I knew you'd come to save me.
Copy !req
277. Oh, my dear Irma, Mr. Wagner,
Copy !req
278. what a pleasure to see
you together again.
Copy !req
279. I must sing something.
Copy !req
280. As president, I award you
the Sacred Order of San Theodoros.
Copy !req
281. Glad to have been of service!
Copy !req
282. Right. A big hooray for the general!
Copy !req
283. I am touched. Now, please,
go out and enjoy the Carnival.
Copy !req
284. As for you, Professor,
Copy !req
285. without your pills, the revolution
could never have been launched.
Copy !req
286. Beans for lunch? Oh, no, thank you.
Copy !req
287. What about you, Tintin? Are you sure
you will not accept a reward?
Copy !req
288. Freeing my friends
was reward enough for me.
Copy !req
289. Thanks for keeping your promise.
Copy !req
290. The revolution is a success.
The air force and navy
Copy !req
291. have rejoined us!
Copy !req
292. Alcazar!
Copy !req
293. You've got some nerve!
Leaving me in the stinking,
Copy !req
294. bug-infested jungle
while you laze about this palace.
Copy !req
295. Bring my bags upstairs.
Copy !req
296. - And get dinner started.
- Yes, my dove.
Copy !req
297. Ah! It'll be nice to get
back home to Marlinspike.
Copy !req
298. You said it, Captain!
Copy !req
299. ECLAIR
Copy !req
