Red Sea Sharks - Part 1

Did you enjoy the film?

So so.

The lead actor was good.

He looked a lot like our friend Alcazar.

The ending was far too improbable.

I can't believe that really happens.

You think about someone. he pops up

just like that... wham!

Look. you misguided missile. Watch where you're going.

General Alcazar!

Yes...

It's extraordinary! Imagine. We were just talking about you!

Ah. about me?

What are you doing?

Me? I travel... Por favor.

Excuse me please. In mucho hurry.

Late for appointment.

- Where are you staying? - Hotel Bristol.

Adios. amigos.

Not very chatty. is he?

Strange.

What's that? Look. it's the General's wallet.

He must've dropped it just now.

Hurry! Maybe we can find him.

I'd say the General has vamoosed!

He's a fairly heavy-built man

with a moustache.

- Look. - I'm sorry.

I've never seen the gentleman.

That's strange.

Hey. why's the door open?

Snowy?

Who's done this to you?

I'll get to the bottom of this!

Blue blistering...

Captain. are you all right?

Which son of a sea gherkin did that?

Nestor!

Nes...

Abdullah.

Abdullah?

Blistering barnacles!

"Blistering barnacles"!

Do it again. Blistering Barnacles!

You ruffian. what're you doing here?

Wait.

I have a present for you.

A present for me?

Dear little fellow...

It's for you

from me.

Thank you. Abdullah. You really shouldn't have.

A cuckoo clock.

It's beautiful.

It's magnificent.

And to wind it up. you do this.

Blue blistering thundering typhoons!

You won't get away with this.

You. stop!

Touch not the son of my master.

I am Hassim.

Servant to His Highness.

I bring you a message from my master.

"Dear friends. I entrust to you my beloved son..."

"Abdullah. for here. his life is in danger.

Should misfortune befall me.

as the falcon springs on the innocent gazelle.

I count on you to provide Abdullah

with warmth and care."

"Peace be with you and your household."

Signed "Emir Ben Kalish Ezab".

You little brat! I'll teach you a lesson.

Oh. sir. it's dreadful.

Later. Nestor!

Sir. all those foreign persons are in the state room.

You'll feel better after a coffee.

No. thanks. I have to watch my nerves.

The monster will be up soon.

Oh. no! Abdullah's coming!

Prof. Calculus?

Blistering barnacles!

I've enough problems without you rolling around like a freight train!

Rain? No. it's a splendid morning for a stroll.

Well. that's what I thought I was doing.

I see breakfast is served.

Why don't you take these infernal things off

before you hurt yourself?

Nestor. will you answer that door?

Begging your pardon. sir.

but Abdullah. your guest.

finds it amusing to keep ringing the bell

and run off as soon as I open it.

Abdullah has gone too far.

Nestor. fetch me the garden hose.

OK. open it.

Good morning.

Oops!

What can I do for you?

We'll be brief and to the point.

Tell us all you know about General Alcazar?

General Alcazar?

I knew him when he was President of San Theodoros.

Then he was deposed by General Tapioca in a coup.

He staged a countercoup and took it back.

And that's all.

That's all. is it?

What did he tell you last night?

When you met up with him. to be precise.

Last night?

Surprised you. didn't we?

We did meet last night.

He seemed in a big hurry.

He told us he was staying at...

The Hotel Excelsior.

We know that. too.

Excelsior. huh?

Well. can't keep anything from you.

But why are you asking about Alcazar?

My dear fellow. if you imagine we'd tell you

he's smuggling aircraft. you're mistaken.

Or that General Alcazar is mounting a counter-revolution

after Tapioca redeposed him.

You can forget it.

"Mum's the word."

- Well said. Thomson. - Thank you. Thompson.

Goodbye. Tintin.

Thanks for the information.

General Alcazar?

Yes. sir. You'll find him in the lounge.

This one?

The man Alcazar's with... I know him.

Name's Dawson. We had a run-in in Shanghai.

Thompson and Thomson are here. too.

Give this back to the General.

I'm going to follow Dawson.

Taxi.

Follow that black Jaguar.

Wait here. Keep the engine running.

'Morning. guv. Seen today's paper?

Very good.

The planes we sold to Mull Pacha did a great job.

He'll be rid of the Emir in no time.

Now Alcazar's got his planes. we can overthrow Tapioca.

Huh?

Abdullah! The pest!

What's this?

It was a young lad with a white dog.

What?

Tintin!

More news on the coup d'.tat in Khemed.

Mull Pacha's forces have taken control of Wadesdah.

The Emir Ben Kalish Ezab is feared dead.

Information is hard to obtain...

Poor Abdullah!

He's too young to realize how serious

things are.

Blue blistering barnacles!

The little pest! The plague! That's it!

He goes back to his father now!

Too late. The Emir's been overthrown in a coup d'.tat.

That's just great.

We can't send him back now.

Nothing to keep us from going away.

Tintin. you're a genius. but where?

To Khemed.

Ah. yes. good!

What? In the middle of a revolution?

No. thanks. I'll take my chances with the kid!

Let's pack.

Mull Pacha. Dawson here.

Expect a visit from Tintin.

Put this in the baggage compartment.

Passports. gentlemen.

I'm sorry. You have no permit to stay in Khemed.

What?

You must reboard the plane and return to Beirut.

Blue barnacles! There's nothing wrong

with our papers. What yarn is that?

It is done. Mull Pacha.

Excellent.

Bon voyage. Tintin.

Another eternity in this flying coffin.

Rattling about like dice! I wonder what sort

of trouble will drop on us next.

Thundering typhoons!

Everything happens to me.

Are you OK?

I've had enough of this!

So much

for on-board comfort!

I bet this Mull Pacha had something to do with

our being told to leave.

What's the matter?

What is it?

Fire! We're on fire!

Engine on fire!

Wadesdah tower. this is Khozd.

Starboard motor on fire.

We're turning back. Trying for emergency landing.

Port engine misfiring. We're losing

altitude.

This is no time for games.

Give me a parachute.

Sir. just go and sit down.

I tell you. I demand a parachute.

Now look here...

Thanks. Tell everyone to hold on tight.

I'm going to try to land.

The fire's out.

but let's move into the shade while we wait for a rescue party.

Wadesdah is only 50 kms away.

We won't have to wait long.

Listen. Captain.

If they take us back. we'll be expelled again.

We should sneak back in on our own.

What? 50 kms on foot?

It's our only hope of finding the Emir.

All right. I'm coming.

I'll be right back. He's determined to show me something.

50 kms... in this heat.

I could sure go for a cigar right about now.

Even one of Abdullah's exploding cigars.

Are you all right?

Snowy? Where's Snowy?

Good ol' Snowy! You sensed danger and tried to warn me.

I just thought you wanted to play.

That had to be a time bomb. I bet it was intended for us.

Wadesdah will be crawling with soldiers.

So will this crash site when Mull Pacha

finds out we weren't blown to bits. Let's go.

A friend. Oliveira da Figueira. will hide us.

OK. Captain. they're gone.

Now let's find Oliveira's.

Captain?

Stay awake. It's just down this alley.

Senor Oliveira.

Senor Oliveira?

Come inside. quickly.

There's a heavy price on your heads.

You can bet Mull Pacha's behind that.

Also known as Dr M ller.

Dr M ller?

I'm up against that scoundrel again.

What's his involvement in this mess?

Let me bring you up to date.

A few months ago. Wadesdah became

a major link in the air routes of Arabair.

Then. when the Emir out that Arabair was being used

for some nasty illegal traffic. he canceled the deal.

That's when the political unrest flared up.

Exactly.

Heavily funded by someone as yet unknown.

Mull Pacha mounted a coup.

forcing the Emir into hiding.

Captain!

Are we sinking?

No. Captain. You just set your beard on fire.

I heard that the Emir was feared dead.

He's in the Djebel mountains.

We have to get to him for his son's sake.

First. we get some sleep.

Tomorrow I'll find a way for you to leave the city and join the Emir.

Thundering typhoons!

That was close.

Blistering barnacles! Now we're in trouble.

Quick! There's our guide.

Mull Pacha here. Order the Mosquitos to take off now

to wipe out a party of 3 horsemen

who are heading for the Djebel mountains.

Dust cloud at 10 o'clock.

Must be them.

I've got you now. Tintin!

Ready to fire.

Fire!

Fire!

Mission accomplished.

Bungling oafs! You'll be court-martialed!

Dismissed! Reduced to ranks!

I'll have you shot!

Halt!

Friends!

Don't shoot. The dogs bark.

the camels pass.

These strangers come to see the Emir.

All right. come this way.

Look!

Incredible!

A whole city carved right out of the rock!

Captain! You here!

Unbelievable!

What about my son? My precious darling.

Where is he?

Rest assured. he's in good hands at Marlinspike.

Thank you. Your help is precious to me.

Resistance is growing.

Soon I'll throw out that slimy serpent M ller.

M ller is just a front to keep us from seeing

the real culprit. Di Gorgonzola.

Di Gorgonzola. the famous millionaire?

He owns Arabair which he uses

to smuggle illegal refugees for astronomical fees.

The mangy dog!

As long as that international crook runs scot-free.

peace will be nothing but an illusion.

We have to stop them somehow.

It will be difficult.

Gorgonzola is very rich and very powerful.

By Allah! Let us hope your dog has not gone near Ayesha!

Calm down.

You see. the powerful ones don't always get the last word.
