The Crab with the Golden Claws - Part 2

Imagine the look on Allan's face

when he sees the welcoming committee we've set up for him.

Just as long as I get my hands on him before the police do.

You're sure we're on the right course for Bagghar?

Of course we're on course!

But it looks like there's trouble ahead.

Get yer nose up! Flip yer flaps! We're gonna crash!

Tintin, wake up!

Great snakes!

- Pull it up! - I'm trying!

It's gonna blow!

Phew! That was close!

I don't know where we are, but it sure isn't Bagghar.

The storm must've blown us off course.

What have you found, Snowy?

Thathatha... That's a camel.

That was a camel.

It probably died of thirst. We're as good as dead!

Take it easy, Captain! Things aren't that bad!

Really thirsty.

Really thirsty!

Keep moving. We can't give up.

No, I've gotta lie down.

Which bed is mine?

OK, we'll rest in the shadow of this dune,

but we can't stay long.

Haa..?!

How are we ever gonna get out of this one, Snowy?

Oh, a bottle... of...

champagne!

I'm saved!

Saved...!

Confounded cork! It's on too tight!

Captain!

Take it easy!

The heat must be getting to you.

Look!

A lake!

We're saved!

Oh, no!

Captain! It's only a mirage.

Captain... ooh...

Oooh...

Where are we?

Who are you?

Come with me...

Ah! There you are.

Come in.

I'm Lt. Delcourt,

in command of this outpost.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Tintin.

Take a seat please, Mr. Tintin.

You had us all quite worried.

It was sheer luck that we found you, really...

My men came across the wreckage of your plane, and followed the tracks

They found the three of you unconscious.

What about the Captain? Is he alright?

A drink! I need a drink!

He's all right.

Good heavens! Where are my manners? Name your poison, gentlemen.

No, thanks! And none for the Captain, either.

- What...! - Captain...

Uh, alright...

So, tell me: what brings you

to this forsaken sandbox of ours?

We interrupt this program with a special report.

Severe weather at sea

has caused heavy losses to shipping.

Gale winds have driven the ships Tanganyika and the Jupiter ashore.

And an SOS was received.

from the merchant ship Karaboudjan,

a rescue vessel searched the area but no wreckage or survivors were found.

Bunji!

It is presumed the Karaboudjan went down with all hands.

Impossible!

To sink without having time to abandon ship? I don't believe it!

Yes, I agree.

Lieutenant,

we must get to Bagghar immediately.

As soon as we reached Bagghar, we'll check in at the Harbormaster's Office.

They'll know one way or the other

if the Karaboudjan sank.

Blue blistering barnacles!

Raiders! Quick! Behind the sand dune!

Outnumbered and short of bullets!

Confound everything! The last one!

Revenge.

Revenge...

Revenge!

Captain!

Desert tramps! Swine! Jellyfish!

Troglodytes!

Captain, stop! They'll kill you!

Rats! Endoplasms!

Freshwater swabs!

Snowy, he's scaring them off!

Come back here, ya cowards!

And I'll give ya a taste of my rifle butt!

Nice going, Captain!

If they'd waited, I'd have shown them!

No one shoots at me and gets away with it.

After them, men! They're getting away!

Lieutenant!

I received a dispatch, warning about bandits in the area.

Looks like we got here just in time.

You mean it wasn't me who scared off those raiders?

I'm sure you did your best, Captain.

But my men and I will accompany you the rest of the way.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Are you sure the Harbormaster's Office is this way?

I could have sworn the merchant said it was the other way.

Do you speak Arabic, Captain?

Then, we'll continue this way.

What is it, boy?

Allan!

I knew the Karaboudjan didn't sink.

Come on Snowy, let's see where he's going.

Hey! Wait for me!

Blistering barnacles!

Why don't you...? Tintin!

Careful, Snowy, if we're lucky

Allan may lead us to whoever is smuggling diamonds.

Oh, no!

He's gone!

Where in blue blazes is Tintin?

Blistering barnacles!

That's the Karaboudjan. You there!

The radio said the Karaboudjan went down with all hands.

So what's it doing here?

This here's the Djebel Amilah.

Can't you read?

Of course I can read! But that's the Karaboudjan!

You!

You mutinous deck rat! Tell him the real name of this ship.

Do you know this nut?

Never laid eyes on him.

Police!

Police! Help! Police!

Okay... what's the problem here?

That ship, officers...

is the Karaboudjan.

They said it sank, but it didn't!

I'd known her anywhere.

'Cause I'm her captain.

And she's loaded with crabmeat... I... I mean opium.

And we just escaped by the skin of our teeth in a long boat and

we flew into a terrible storm and crashed in the desert.

Oh... You'd better come with us.

But... but... but...

But it's the truth, I tell ya!

What? Haddock? You're sure?

Then you can bet

Tintin's not far behind.

I don't care how you do it! But get me Haddock... alive!

And don't let it happen again!

Flatfoots!

Pencil pushers!

You wouldn't know a crime if you fell over one, you miserable gherkins!

Help! Outlaws!

Brigands!

Captain?

Bushwackers!

Captain!

Tintin!

Our only chance to find the Captain is to go back to where we lost Allan.

Remember, Thompson, we are friendly locals.

Precisely.

Inconspicuous and blending in with the crowd.

Thomson and Thompson!

Excuse us, please, but we are not Thomson and Thompson.

We are friendly locals.

Detectives,

- it's me, Tintin. - Alive!

And well!

I need your help.

So far the only clues are the crab tins.

And you say the drugs are hidden inside the tins?

Yes. They've got a gold label with a red crab.

But we saw some tins like that this morning.

Where?

Well, ah...

I think...

There's a lot of strange shops in these towns, you know?

Where are you going?

- Well? - Crab.

What are you doing?

- Don't worry, Sir... we'll pay. - Yes!

But could you tell us who supplies you with those tins?

Certainly, young Sir. They come from Omar Ben Salaad,

the wealthiest trader in all of Bagghar.

Thank you, Sir.

Ask around about Mr. Salaad, but be discreet, okay?

Snowy and I will try to find the Captain.

Right, then! Thank you, sir.

Wait! Wait!

Who's going to pay?

Ha...! Oh...

A 1,000 blessings on you.

I know it's hot, boy,

but the only way to find the Captain, is to find Allan.

He came this way once. He may come this way again.

Confounded paving stones!

What do you say we pay him a visit?

There he goes!

Keep up with him, Thompson.

Be discreet.

I bet he went down there.

Where'd he go?

I wonder if...

A secret door!

I'll bet these tins are full of drugs!

Untie me, you Neanderthals!

Captain!

Crooks! Confidence men!

Yell all you want. No one's gonna hear you.

Now for the last time, where's Tintin?

Here I am!

Hands up!

Tintin, my boy, I'm so glad

to see you!

Don't make a move. Captain! Keep an eye on them

while I find Allan.

Freeze!

Ah, gentlemen, do sit down.

- May I offer you some refreshments? - No, thank you, Mr Omar.

This visit is strictly business.

Quite so. We're conducting an investigation.

A very "discreet" investigation.

I see.

And what is the nature of your investigation, gentlemen?

We think you're smuggling drugs.

By the beard of the prophet! How dare you?

Get out! Or I'll have you flogged!

Guards! Guards! Throw...

Run for it, Omar!

The jig is up!

I'm leaving now, detectives...

I'm afraid I'll have to eliminate you, of course.

Good boy, Snowy.

- Tintin! - Well done!

Don't let him out of your sight!

He's heading for the docks, Snowy. Stop 'em!

Hey! Stop that guy! He's stealing my boat!

Hey!

Hey, stop!

Tintin!

Hi to you, too!

Throw them in irons, the filthy pirates!

Mutineers! Scallywags! Fatheads!

The correct spelling for that is...

"Thompson" with a p...

If it wasn't for the actions of Mr. Tintin and his friends

none of this would have been possible.

Bunji!

- You made it!

Thanks to you, Tintin.

And "Thomson" without a p!

How's it feel to be a hero, Mr. Tintin?

It feels great...!

The End.
