THE SECRET OF UNICORN - Part 1

And in other city news today...

there has been an increase in pickpocket activity throughout the city

There seems to be no specific location where the pickpocket or pickpockets strike.

which have the police completely baffled.

Also the pickpocket is highly skilled and most victims are unaware of the theft.

Making time and location extremely difficult to pinpoint.

The common item of theft is men's wallets.

In an effort to track down and apprehend those responsible for these activities,

Police have assigned their 2 top men, detectives Thomson and Thompson...

Snowy! Snowy?!

Fine dog, Sir...

Wow!

This is a new one!

- Here you go, Sir. - Hello, Tintin.

Thomson and Thompson!

Hi, detectives!

Good to see you again!

A little Sunday shopping?

Actually we're here on a case.

We've been assigned to catch that pesky pickpocket.

The one who's been in the papers.

Yes! And we just happen to notice these splendid sticks, Sir.

Quite a coincidence!

Quite!

So, after we purchase these delightful sticks, Thomson,

we'd better be on... our way.

My wallet!

It's gone!

The pickpocket!

He got my wallet too!

It's okay, detectives! I'll take care of this!

You can pay me back next time see you!

We must report this immediately, Thompson!

Yes! Thank you, Tintin! Good-bye!

Good-bye, detectives!

Poor Thomson and Thompson!

Wait up, Snowy!

Wow!

Isn't she a beauty!

Yes, she sure is!

25 dollars and she's yours.

What do you say, Snowy?

Think the Captain would like it?

Would you take 20 dollars?

Sure!

It's a deal!

How much is that ship?

Sorry, sir, I just sold it.

Let me buy it from you.

But I don't want to sell!

How much for the model?!

It's already been sold!

To who?

To me!

C'mon Snowy, let's go!

I'll give you 40 bucks!

Whatever he said, I double it!

Get lost! I was here first! ... What about 50?

I'll raise it to 60!

- 70! - 80!

- 90! - A 100!

No!

I don't want to sell, gentlemen!

I don't believe the nerve of those guys!

I wonder why those men were so insistent on buying this model...

I just thought it would be a nice present for Captain Haddock...

I bet he'll be surprised to see it.

Captain? - You again!

Yes, I apologize for my persistence, young man.

But I'd like you to take my card...

in case you decide to sell.

Fine. Good-bye!

Snowy!

Oh, no!

It's broken!

What!?

Ahoy there, landlubber!

Captain, look! I got you a present here for you.

Ten thousand thundering typhoons!

- Do you like it? - Like it! It's incredible!

Quick! We must go to my place!

Now, Tintin! Now!

Captain, what's going on?

- An extraordinary coincidence! - Captain!

That's my great, great ancestor...

Sir Francis Haddock!

He looks exactly like you.

Yes, he is good looking!

Take a closer look at this ship!

It's just like the model!

Exactly!

And speaking of the model...

I didn't bring it!

It's gone!

Hello?

Some one stole the ship, Captain!

Stole my ship! Why those miserable slugs!

Freshwater swaps!

Just wait til I get my hands on them!

I'll spear their ears!

I'll mash their brains!

I'll... - Got to go, Captain! Bye!

Tintin!

Tintin!!

Coming!

Coming...!

Aha... A model of the Unicorn!

Just as I thought! My ship!

Could you explain to me how it got here, please!

I'm afraid you've made a mistake, young fellow.

I've had this model for over ten years.

We'll see about that!

Young man...

whatever are you doing?!

The mast isn't broken!

I'm sorry, Mr Sakharine! It's not my ship!

I quite understand your surprise.

I felt the same way this morning.

I had thought my ship was an original.

I'm really very sorry, Mr. Sakharine.

I won't bother you any longer!

I hope you find your ship, young man!

Thank you, Sir, goodbye.

Two identical ships modelled after the Unicorn!

It doesn't make any sense at all!

I'd better call the Captain.

Occupied!

Finally!

We can go now, Fifi.

It's stopped raining.

He must have gone out!

Let's go, Snowy.

My apartment. It's been ransacked!

What kind of thieves don't steal anything, Snowy!

Who is it?

Thomson and Thompson!

Hi detectives!

Hello, Tintin.

We're here to pay you back for the sticks.

I've been robbed again!

- Me too! - It must've been that man

we saw here last night, when we came to pay you back!

What man?!

White male, about five foot five...

with black hair and a moustache.

The man from the market!

Obviously the pick pockets steal all their lives!

We'll have to keep our eyes open, Thomson!

Thomson?

Here, Thompson, I'm downstairs aleady!

So the man from the market was here.

What are you doing, Snowy?

What's this?

"Three brothers joined...

"three Unicorns in company,

"sailing in the noonday sun will speak.

"For 'tis from the light that light will dawn, and then shines forth.

"The Eagle's cross. "

How mysterious!

This must have been hidden in the ship's mast!

It must have fallen out and rolled under the sideboard!

and whoever stole the model knew it was there!

That's why they came back!

Why...?

What does it mean?

Of course!

Quick, Snowy! To the Captain's!

We're going on a treasure hunt!

Yahoo...!

...and continuing our coverage

of the pickpocket problem,

police report they are checking

several leads and appeal to the public for any information

that could lead to an arrest...

Citizens are asked to contact detectives Thomson and Thompson.

Captain!

Captain, it's me, Tintin!

Captain! Wake up!

Is anything wrong?

The Captain won't open his door!

Yoohoo...! Captain Haddock!

Captain!

Come one step near and I'll blast you to blazes!

Something's wrong!

Hold on, Captain! I'm coming!

One, two, three...!

Is everything alright?

Avast, pirates! Avast!

Ya sea gherkins! Buccaneers! Filibusters!

Let's get the seadogs on the run!

With a yo ho ho and...

bottle of rum!

Tintin, my boy!

What's going on, Captain?

Look, landlubber! You see that man?

Francis Haddock.

Sir Francis Haddock!

Anyway, I found his chest in my attic last night.

And you'll never what was in it?

Treasure!?

No, a journal!

Look!

"Sir Francis Haddock's journal!"

Yes, and listen to this!

It's the year 1676.

The Unicorn, a valiant ship of King Charles I...

has left Barbados...

in the West Indies...

to set sail for home.

Suddenly there's a cry from above...

Sail on the port bow!

Thundering typhoons!

She's comin' up close!

She'll cut across my bow!

She's running up her colours!

Pirates!

Ahoy there!

Clear the decks!

Stand by to haul wind!

The Unicorn was gonna try to outrun them!

Thundering Typhoons! It's no use!

She's overhauling us fast!

There's only one thing to do:

The Unicorn had to outwit the pirates!

Closer, me hearties! Closer! That's the way!

Closer!

Ready about! Let go the braces!

The Unicorn had taken the pirates by surprise!

They had no time to alter course.

Gunners, take your places!

Fire!

Got her, laddies!

Fire!

But it wasn't enough! The pirate ship was damaged,

but wasn't sinking! Look!

She's hoisted fresh colours!

The red flag!

A fight to the death!

No prisoners taken!

The pirates were closing in, but managed to maneuver

behind the Unicorn to avoid the fire of her guns...

No more than half a cable led the way

the pirate ship suddenly slips under the Unicorn

Poop... like this...

The two ships are now side by side!

Wow!

The pirates are ready to board!

Weapons are drawn!

Grappling irons are hurled!

The fight to the death begins!

All hands to repel boarders!

Stand back!

Out of the way!

Back, you sea lice!

Dirt dogs!

Toads!

Leave this man for me, lads!

Help yourself, you braggard!

You want to kill me, huh?

You gherkin!

Well, take that!

And that!

Attack from behind, would you?

Then how about this!

That's what happened to Sir Francis, too!

A heavy block fell on his head and he fell to the deck, stunned!

The pirates had won!

Every last Unicorn man was forced to walk the plank!

What's happened? Where's my crew?

Blue blistering barnacles!

You murdering maggot!

Thieving toads!

I am Red Rackham.

And I'm Sir Francis Haddock!

The name Red Rackham...

should make your blood freeze... sea dog!

Never mind!

My ship is sinkin' because of your devilish gunners!

So I'm taking over the Unicorn!

My men are just transferring the booty!

And what booty it is indeed!

Enjoy the hours of the night, Sir Francis!

Because tomorrow at dawn...

you die!

That night...

the Unicorn dropped anchor in a sheltered

cove of a small deserted island!

Flushed with victory...

the pirates were celebrating.

That's the way, me hearties!

The party's not complete yet.

He was on his way...

to the hold where the Unicorn gunpowder was stored.

This celebration is missing a few fireworks!

Prepare to die, Sir Francis!

I'll shave your beard!

You Porcupine!

And I'll pluck your feathers, you puppin' jay!

He realized he was going to be

blown sky high, unless...

he extinguished the fuse!

So he did!

I'm getting angry, Red Rackham!

Snowy!

I've got you now!

Captain!

Captain?

Red Rackham is dead!

May heaven forgive your wicked soul!

Justice!

Sir Francis lived on the island for another 2 years...

before being rescued

And that's where the journal ends!

On the last page is a message to his 3 sons...

He left them each a model of the Unicorn...

built and rigged by himself. He says that they should move

the mast and the truth will be complete!

That's it! Red Rackham's treasure!

The maps for Red Rackham's treasure are hidden in the masts!

Treasure! Treasure!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Red...

What maps?

Don't worry, Captain!

We already have one and Mr. Sakharine has the second.

All we have to do is find the 3rd...

and Red Rackham's treasure will be ours!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Red Rackham's treasure...

Here we come! Yahoo...!

...and as a follow-up on the pickpocket story...

I have detectives Thomson & Thompson...

in the studio with me.

Tell me, detectives, how close are you to actually catching the pickpocket?

Well, to be precise we are close!

Precisely!

Very close indeed.

Do you have a suspect?

Oh, well, yes...

We are checking our files on pickpockets very closely.

You can be assured that if there is a pickpocket out there...

we will find him in here!

Thank you detectives.

Best of luck on your investigation!

Fast Forward to Part 2 for the conclusion...

The secret of the Unicorn - Part 2

Yo Ho Ho! And a bottle of rum!

Red Rackham's treasure...

here we come! I'm gonna be rich!

Keep the noise down!

Ahoy there, laddie!

And the top of the morning to you!

Go on home, you sea dog!

Let decent people sleep!

Come on, Captain, let's go!

Blue Blistering Barnacles! What a grouch!

We've got to get to Mr. Sakharine

He's anxious to see if the parchment in his model ship

matches the one I found.

It could bring us one step closer to the treasure.

Thundering typhoons!

Oh, dear!

Sorry, young man!

I wasn't paying attention!

No problem, sir.

Good day, gentlemen!

Here we are!

Help!

What is it? What's wrong?

Mr Sakharine's been murdered! Help...!

Murdered?!

Ten thousand thundering typhoons!

He's still alive!

Look!

Another Unicorn!

And the mast is broken!

Someone stole the parchment!

But that means... Holy thunderous thunderclouds!

Someone else is after the treasure!

Police!

No one moves!

Thomson and Thompson!

Anything you say...

can and will be used against you in a court of law!

Oh... Here's the victim!

To be precise...

the victim is here.

And where there's a victim,

there's usually a culprit.

And usually...

quite close...

- Aha! - What!

Why you... miserable earthworms!

Sea gherkins!

Black beetles! Sea lice!

Accuse me, would you?!

- Crab apples! - No, Captain!

Stop!

Ectomorphs!

- Put 'em up! Ya troglodytes! - Captain...!

Calm yourself, Captain!

It was only an experiment.

What did you say?

You goose cap!

Well... Ah!...

You see, Captain!

If you really were the culprit, then

obviously you'd be worried. - Obviously!

Therefore, you must be innocent.

Quite right! Indeed!

No hard feelings!

Get out of my sight, you miserable nappy!

What...! He's gone!

Tell us what happened, Mr. Sakharine?

A man came by with some antique engravings...

I was examining them when...

something covered my nose.

I don't remember any more.

Chloroform.

Mr Sakharine, this is very important.

Could you describe the man for us?

Well... He had black hair...

and a moustache.

And I was sure I've seen him before.

How much for the model?

How much for the model!?

The man from the market!

Yes!

Yes! It was him!

Get some rest, Mr. Sakharine!

Don't worry! We'll find him.

Obviously that man stole the parchment, detectives.

I'll show you mine, so you know what to look for.

My wallet's gone!

Gone? What do you mean, gone?!

That's my treasure we're talking about!

Someone must have stolen it!

One can't be too careful with that pickpocket around.

Take a tip from us.

Try to steal my wallet.

Go ahead! Try!

There you go! Simple but effective!

An elastic band!

Stop this tomfoolery, Tintin!

What are we gonna do?!

Our treasure! It's gone!.

Poor Captain Haddock. He seemed quite upset!

Indeed!

Aah... here's our tram!

My wallet!

Stop... thief!

Stop!

Police!

Got you!

Oh!

Thanks for finding my wallet, detectives!

You're welcome!

I trust nothing is missing.

You trust right, detective!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Red Rackham's treasure, Here we come!

Congratulations, detectives,

on solving our case so quickly...

Ah, well, not quite.

You see... we caught...

the thief's coat...

but the thief wasn't in it.

Look!

A dry cleaner's tag!

So...

If we find the dry cleaners...

we'll have our thief!

Easy, Snowy!

Captain Haddock... that's him! The man from the market!

- Why that no good...! - Wait!

Let's see what he wants...

Mr Tintin?

My name is Barnaby. I must talk with you.

But... we're not safe here.

Let's go inside.

After you!

Get down!

Bandits!

Scoundrels!

Gangsters!

Someone call an ambulance!

Careful!

They'll... kill you too!

Who?! Who did this?!

Sparrows?!

Sparrows?

What's taking the Captain so long?

Mr Tintin?

First floor.

And where are the police?!

Need any help?

Captain?!

Captain?! Are y...

Oh?... I thought...

Delivery for Mr. Tintin.

Delivery? For me?

But I didn't order anything.

This is the address we have.

But...

Surely there must be a mistake!

Would you mind if I check that order form?

Hey...!...

What's the matter with Snowy?

Blistering barnacles!

What...! What happened?!

Where am I!

What have I got myself in to now!

Are you awake?

Who's that?

Come on out! Wherever you are!

Go to the door, Tintin!

Check the column!

There's an intercom.

Who are you?

And what do you want?

I want my parchments back!

Parchments?

But I only have one parchment.

Correction, you have none.

You'll see I took the liberty of removing your wallet earlier...

Thief! It's mine! Give it back!

I'm not playing games, Tintin!

I want the other two parchments!

I'm telling you. I don't know where they are!

You've got two hours!

Think it over!

If you're smart, you'll have some answers...

Listen to me!... Wait!

Well this is just great!

There's got to be something I can do.

Bingo!

Got it!

Heave!

Heave.!

Heave..!

Phew...! That was heavy!

What was that?

Tintin?!

Confounded!

Wait till I get my hands on him!

It works!

Yahou!

Stop or I'll shoot!

He's getting away!

Come on!

We'll get him! There's no way out!

That suit of armour moved!

There he is!

We've got him now!

There he goes!

Another Unicorn!

Mr. M. and G. Bird...

Birds! Sparrows!

Now it makes sense!

- Hello? - Captain, it's me!

And who are you...?

Tintin, where are you? What's going on?

Er, me?

I'm Tintin.

Er, Mr. Bird's new secretary.

- Oh... Sorry, Mr Tintin. - Nestor!

There's a thief's in the house.

Don't let him contact his accomplices!

Captain! I'm at Marlinspike Hall!

I need your help!

Marlinspike Hall!

Captain! Are you there?

Nestor!

Oh, my head...

Where's Tintin?

There he is!

Where'd he go?

Quick! The woods!

Got him!

I've got him!

Well, Mr Tintin!

We've wasted enough time!

Let's go!

Snowy!

Good boy, Snowy!

You saved my life!

Tintin!

Blistering barnacles!

Why those scurvy landlubbers!

I'll have them flayed! I'll skin them alive!

Captain! Captain, I'm fine!

Thanks to Snowy.

But I'm telling you...

I'm innocent!

He is the guilty party!

Tell it to the judge, you jellyfish swine!

It's okay, Captain. He's telling the truth.

He thinks his employers are legitimate.

In that case...

We're here to inform you that you're under arrest.

Mr. Barnaby survived your shooting,

and has given us a complete statement.

Barnaby's alive?

Shut up! It's a trick!

I assure you it's not a trick, sir!

Www.. what are we gonna do, Max?

We're gonna shut up!

Why don't you tell us the truth?

The judge will take i under consideration

and you might get a lighter sentence.

I.. it all started when we found the model of the Unicorn.

Shut up!

No, you shut up!

And then you found the hidden parchment?

Yes.

We realize it was part of a treasure map.

but we needed the other two parts.

And that's why we hired Barnaby...

to find the other ships...

mine and Mr Sakharine's?

W.. we told him to steal the parchments.

But then he said he was gonna tell you...

unless we paid him more money.

So you shot him! You miserable earth worm!

I'm not sure I understand.

Why did you kidnap me if Barnaby had the parchments?

Because I stole the parchments from him, and you stole them from me!

Now give me my wallet back, Tintin!

But I didn't steal your wallet...!

The pickpocket!

Oh... We can help you with that.

You can?!

We've tracked down the pickpocket.

Mr Silk...

You're under arrest!

For pickpocketing and thievery!

Me! A thief?!

Aristide Silk!

How can you substantiate such an accusationt, sirs?

We tracked you down through your dry cleaners.

There's no point in denying it.

But I assure you, gentlemen...

my intentions are honourable!

I appeal to you...

as a retired official who upholds the law!

Eureka!

I've found the wallets and the parchments.

Let me show you to the door, gentlemen!

Well, obviously you made a mistake, Thomson.

No..! Obviously you made a mistake, Thompson.

Mr. Silk made a mistake, gentlemen.

He has an unusual hobby...

Ask him to show you his wallet collection...

For 'tis from the light that light will dawn!

It's, it's... Latitude and longitude!

Ten thousand typhoons!

It's where the Unicorn sank!

This means... we're gonna be rich!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum...!

Red Rackham's Treasure, here we come!

The End...
