Tintin and the Picaros - Part 2

It all started

when General Tapioca arrested Madame Castafiore

and Detectives Thomson and Thompson in San Theodoro.

This may be an innocent misunderstanding.

And that is why I invite Tintin

and his friends to clear this matter up.

We must go Tapiocopolis immediately.

It says here that Tapioca got into power

by toppling the last ruler in a military coup.

That was General Alcazar. He's a friend of mine.

"In the past year, Tapioca has come under attack

from a terrorist group called the Picarros."

It's okay, Captain. Those must be Alcazar's men.

You are in great danger, señors.

Tomorrow, an attack by the Picaros

will be faked-- In the course of the fighting,

- you will all be killed! - Killed?

Tomorrow, you will be taken on a trip

to see the pyramid of Hotwaterbottle.

You will ask the soldiers if you can climb to the top.

Once we are out of the way, an attack by the real Picaros

- will be mounted. - General Alcazar!

Hop in, amigo!

Alcazar's truck is on its way.

Don't miss it. Over.

- Stop the truck, General! - Are you crazy, amigo?

Stop!

No one could survive that.

Now General Tapioca thinks we're dead,

so we're free to come up with a plan to rescue our friends.

You want to join the Picaros, heh?

Oh, great! That's all we need.

We've gone from being plotters to prisoners.

Ambush victims to terrorist guerillas.

What next?

♪♪

How much longer do we have to tramp through

this overgrown plant store?

It is not far to the camp now.

How many Picaros are there, General?

- 30 or so. - 30! ls that enough

to overthrow Tapioca?

With me as their leader,

30 Picaros can do anything!

We plan to sneak into the Capitol during carnival

and free your friends.

Captain?

Captain! Are you okay?

♪ Anchors away ♪

How did they get those bottles?

Tapioca drops them into the jungle.

He knows the Picaros will drink them...

so they will not be able to fight.

The Bandito River will lead us to the Picaro camp.

Take cover!

lf it is one of Tapioca's, I just hope they didn't see us!

Captain!

What's that? A Picaro by the river?

Where did he go? Caramba! He's disappeared!

Captain!

Blue blistering barnacles!

Hang on, Captain!

How'd I get here?

Gunshots coming from the camp!

Uh-oh. Looks like the bottles got here before we did.

El General! Come join the party!

Caramba!

Ah, ¡viva el General!

Alcazar!

You've got some nerve. Sneaking out of the camp

without telling me!

lf you think you can run off and leave me anytime you want,

you've got another think coming-- Understood?

Yes, my dove.

- And who are these guys? - These are my old friends!

Captain Haddock, Tintin and Professor Calculus.

My dear lady, your lovely welcome has moved me deeply.

lt shall be a pleasure to share your delightful company

as we prepare for war.

Oh. Well.

They can stay in the tool hut.

She may seem a little harsh,

but she has a heart of gold.

Alcazar!

What a charming woman!

Such grace and beauty!

As for her husband,

his revolution will never succeed

if his army keeps drinking.

I know. There goes our best chance

to rescue the Thomsons and Madame Castafiore.

Luckily for everyone, I've been doing some herbal experiments

in jungle apothecary!

- Jungle apoth-a-what? - No, not at all, Captain.

I've developed something

that will make those men stop drinking!

Anyone taking one of these pills

will find the taste of alcohol unbearable.

And the very first person whom I tested it on was you, Captain!

Me? You miserable, blundering barbecued blister!

My sister has nothing to do with it.

- It's a scandal! - Hmm.

Pills? The Picaros will probably resist it.

My sister! I asked you to leave her out of this!

No, Professor!

The Picaros will resist taking these pills!

Unless we sneak them into their food.

lt's worth a try.

Come to think of it, I don't have a sister.

But if I did, this is the last place I'd want her to be.

General! I know how to stop the Picaros from drinking!

But first you have to promise that the revolution will be peaceful.

- No executions! - A revolution without executions?

I would be the laughing stock of the country.

But-- Oy.

Surely--

We can make another deal.

How about a fifth of gold reserves

in El Banco de la Nación?

I'm not interested in money.

I want a peaceful revolution.

Forget it! I'll get the Picaros under control myself.

Huh? Grenade!

Tear gas!

Tintin! I have changed my mind!

I will accept your conditions!

Now, my friends,

you must watch the ridiculous justice of General Tapioca!

TV coverage?

Even in a remote jungle camp?

Before you

sit two evil, brutal men.

So cunning are these would-be assassins,

they have even grown mustaches

to better fit in and gain our trust.

We object!

We were born with our mustaches!

Silence!

I find you guilty! Death!

It's not fair!

I told you, amigo.

As for you, Bianca Castafiore,

you will spend the rest of your life in prison!

You are making a joke, no?

A silly joke made by a silly little soldier.

It's no joke! Here is proof.

You make me laugh.

♪♪

Oh, my! Gentlemen, please.

Kill him! Hang the traitor!

What's going on?

This spy! I caught him

dropping pills into the chili!

He was trying to poison us!

Whoa! Ohh!

General?

It's okay, amigos!

Those pills were only vitimins!

I don't trust this food. The dog must eat it first!

Doggy woggy! Come! Good stuff.

Yum. Yum. Eat it!

Amigos!

Who wants to eat this stuff!

Back! Snowy! Eat!

Eat.

Come on, boy.

You see! Totally safe!

I say!

How far to Tapiocapolis?

Uh, we aren't sure!

Bless my buttons! Look who it is!

It's Tintin and the Captain!

Jolyon Wagg?

You've got it, old friend!

Whoopsie-daisy.

Me and my troupe, the Jolly Follies,

have been invited to perform at the big carnival.

I designed those costumes myself.

Nice, eh? Don't you think?

Hm, very interesting.

What's going on, amigo?

Ah, the chap in charge!

Mind if my gang spends the night in your camp?

Forget it!

Uh, General.

Perhaps I spoke a little hastily, my friend!

You may stay here as long as you like.

Morning, Professor!

Sleep well?

Alcazar!

Where is that lazy--

Peggy, my dove,

at dawn we left to overthrow the tyrant Tapioca.

Love, Alcazar. P.S. Due to the revolution,

I will not be home in time to cook dinner."

Alcazar!

I feel bad,

sneaking off with Wagg's bus like this.

What's more imporant? Some silly tourists

or winning the revolution

and saving your friends from the firing squad?

If you put it that way.

But will we make it in time?

Another hour, and we will be there

in time for part 2 of your plan.

Long live the revolution!

♪♪

A carnival and an execution on the same day!

Isn't life grand, Colonel Alvarez?

It is with you as our leader, Your Excellency.

Look at those people!

All of them love me!

Is it really safe to stand on this balcony?

What if a few treacherous Picaros

have sneaked into town?

The Picaros?

Nonsense!

Colonel Sponsz has taken care of them.

Haven't you, Colonel?

You worry too much. The Picaros are far away

and too drunk to be of any danger.

You see, Colonel Alvarez?

You worry too much!

And what is this?

Remember your promise, General.

No bloodshed.

Sí, I remember.

Ready with the chloroform?

Ready!

They are hilarious!

Alvarez, I would like to meet some of them.

The show's over, Tapioca!

Is this a joke?

Sí. The biggest joke ever!

Alcazar!

That's General Alcazar to you!

Captain, look who's at the window!

Colonel Sponsz!

We meet again!

Tintin!

I heard you were behind this, Sponsz!

Nonsense!

The Bordurian Government has sent me here

as an official representative

to advise General Tapioca's military.

He's lying!

Be quiet!

No! Let's hear it, Alvarez!

He wanted revenge for when you humiliated him in his homeland.

So he planted false documents on Madame Castafiore

and had her arrested.

Knowing I would come to help them.

Nice try, Sponsz.

Read it!

Read it!

No.

I said read it!

"Citizens of San Theodoro,

"rejoice!

"I, General Tapioca,

"surrender all my power

to General Alcazar."

Get this tape to the radio station!

Have them play it right away!

As for your execution...

Ah, General?

Ah...

There will be no execution.

No execution?

Are you crazy?

It's not my idea! It's his!

But, señor! He has to execute me!

Tradition demands it!

Sorry, Tapioca. You'll be exiled

to Borduria with your pal Sponsz.

Exiled?

You can't! The shame!

The humiliation!

Alavarez, unless you wish to join Sponsz in Borduria,

you'd better get on the phone

and stop the Thomsons' execution!

Yes, Sir!

The phone is dead!

The Picaros must have cut the lines.

We have to get to the prison at once!

Colonel Alvarez, take Tintin and the Captain to the prison!

¡Sí, el General!

Hurry, amigos! We have only five minutes

to stop the firing squad.

♪♪

I am sorry, señores, but it is time.

We must go.

Right, then!

One must be on time.

Precisely, Thomson.

One must always be on time for one's execution.

Citizens of San Theodoro, rejoice!

I, General Tapioca, surrender all my power

to General Alcazar.

If only we had a car!

A car would never make it through this crowd!

No. But that big float will!

- Aah! - To the prison quickly!

Clear the road!

Look out! Coming through!

A final cigarette?

Bad for our health!

Blindfolds?

A Thomson likes to look death right in the eye.

Right, Thompson?

Right.

Squad!

Ready!

There is the prison.

Well, Thomson! Any last words?

How about goodbye?

Aim!

Hold your fire!

Hands up!

By order of His Excellency General Alcazar,

this execution is canceled!

Sorry we couldn't get here sooner.

Quite all right, Tintin. We're policemen.

All in the line of duty!

Now, what about Madame Castafiore?

You fool! Oh!

Tell that chef of yours I said al dente!

Mamma mia!

My rescuing prince!

I knew you'd come to save me!

Yeah. Uh... Ahem.

Oh, my dear Irma! Mr. Wagner!

What a pleasure to see you together again!

I must sing something!

♪♪

As President, I award you

the Sacred Order of San Theodoro!

Glad to have been of service!

Right! A big hoorah for the General!

I am touched.

Now please go out and enjoy the carnival!

As for you, Professor,

without your pills,

the revolution could never have been launched!

Beans for lunch!

Oh, no, thank you!

What about you, Tintin?

Are you sure you will not accept a reward?

Freeing my friends was reward enough for me.

Thanks for keeping your promise!

The revolution is a success!

The air force and navy have rejoined us!

Alcazar!

You've got some nerve!

Leaving me in the stinking bug-infested jungle

while you laze about this palace!

Bring my bags upstairs!

And get dinner started!

Yes, my dove.

Ah! It'll be nice to get back...

home to Marlinspike!

You said it, Captain.
