[tintin] it all started when

seven archeologists discovered an ancient peruvian mummy,

and unknowing unleashed a mysterious curse.

the divine curse will follow them

wherever they go.

[radio announcer] and following this mysterious story,

yet another member of the sanders-hardiman expedition

has been found in a coma.

fragments of broken crystal balls

that must have contained

some sort of sleeping potion.

then these are deliberate attacks.

[tintin] however, the mystery

was about to take a turn.

rascar capac's jewels have disappeared.

what have we here?

that's rascar capac's bracelet.

there were signs of a struggle here, captain.

calculus's umbrella.

[radio announcer] the kidnapping of professor calculus

is believed to be connected with the mysterious case

of the sanders-hardiman expedition.

the kidnappers have been spotted.

they stopped for gas at a garage near saint nazaire.

that's a port. exactly.

[foghorn blows]

[tintin] it all fits together.

calculus is aboard the pachacamac.

we're off to peru.

[tintin] we arrived in peru

and were surprised to discover

our old friends were already on the case.

thompson and thomson?

interpol has sent us

to back up the inspector on this delicate mission.

precisely.

[captain] and where's the pachacamac?

[thompson] out there.

great snakes!

they're carrying somebody ashore.

it's got to be the professor.

[tintin] the kidnappers made off

with professor calculus before we could rescue him.

fortunately i learned of a guide

who promised he would help us.

so where is this guide of yours?

[zorrino] psst, psst.

you come now.

where is our friend?

he is taken to the inca.

then where is this inca?

the temple of the sun, senior.

your friend is prisoner of the sun god.

[birds squealing]

[barking]

okay, snowy, we're coming.

[laughs] we're coming.

[barks]

[squealing]

snowy!

[zorrino] a condor has taken him. [snowy cries]

he'll be eaten alive.

maybe i can scare if off.

[crying]

[gunshots] [condor squeals]

there. Snowy's safe for the time being.

but i've got to work fast.

what are you going to do?

i'm going to get snowy down from there.

[groans]

be careful!

snowy!

i hope he's okay.

[groans]

snowy!

[barks]

[laughs] well, hello to you too.

[barking]

[both sigh]

now hold still.

blistering typhoons!

[condor squealing] [snowy howling]

look out, tintin!

[squealing]

hey!

whoa!

whoa!

oof!

[condor squealing]

[captain] tintin!

tintin, are you okay?

whoop! ow!

ahhhh!

blistering barnacles.

[heavy breathing]

hmmm, how peculiar.

the pendulum says that they are somewhere

high up.

[lamas braying]

ah-choo!

oof!

blistering barnacles!

[captain mumbling]

[gunshots]

ow!

blue blistering barnacles!

oof!

ahhh!

[shivering]

how peculiar. yes.

quite.

[monkeys shouting]

[snarling]

[owl hoots]

[snorts]

[snorts continue]

go on, snowy.

leave me alone.

we'll have to try and cross here.

it's our only chance.

give me the rope, zorrino.

[whimpering]

here goes.

now, who's first.

i go first

to show rope very strong.

he's got guts, that boy.

thundering typhoons.

you need a cool head for this.

oops, my hat.

for heaven sake, captain!

forget your hat!

not on your life.

this hat means a lot to me.

[groans]

whoa!

okay, come on.

our turn, snowy. [howling]

hang on, snowy.

we're nearly there.

ahhh! [howling]

tintin.

tintin!

[crying]

captain, tintin not dead.

is he captain?

my poor zorrino,

tintin is gone.

we'll never see him again.

ever. [tintin] hey!

captain! zorrino!

huh?

that voice.

i must be dreaming.

it can't be.

[snowy barking]

captain!

i'm behind the waterfall.

throw me a rope.

hang on, tintin.

here it comes.

[tintin] got it. Come on in.

in there?

yes, in here.

you have to see this.

don't worry, it's only

a thin curtain of water.

if you say so.

blistering barnacles.

remarkable, isn't it?

where are we?

incredible. [barking]

come on, zorrino.

zorrino. tintin.

what do you think, captain?

i would say we've stumbled into some

long forgotten entrance to the temple of the sun.

it will be dark as the belly of a whale in there.

no, i had a look.

the rock is some sort of phosphorous mineral

that actually gives off light.

i've got a hunch we're not far from professor calculus.

huh? [groaning]

uh-oh.

looks like a dead end.

[barking]

[insistent barking]

i think snowy's found something.

where are you going?

[barking] [groaning]

good boy, snowy.

wow!

inca mummies.

this must be some kind of tomb.

[sniffs]

if i'm not mistaken, snowy,

this looks like it could be a secret doorway.

tintin?

ohhh.

blistering barnacles.

give me a hand.

[all groaning]

now, where the devil are--

who's that?

look, captain.

help me give this slab a push.

right. I sure don't feel like hanging about in here.

i don't think i like the company.

[all] one, two, three,

heave.

[all groaning]

it moved. and again.

one, two, three.

[groaning]

[all] ahhh!

sacrilege!

seize them!

[captain] sea-gherkins.

[all] yeow!

ectoplasms! poltroons! terrorists!

[whimpering]

[crying]

don't cry, zorrino.

we'll get out of this. you'll see.

[clanks] [sniffs]

[barks]

oh, the medallion.

but take this medallion.

it may save your life.

i wonder...

here, zorrino.

take good care of this.

it might come in handy.

strangers.

you have violated the sacred temple.

you must pay for this sacrilege

with your lives.

do you really think

we'd let ourselves get massacred

just like that, you tin-hatted tyrant?

noble prince of the sun,

we have never sought to commit sacrilege.

we were simply looking for our friend,

professor calculus.

your friend dared to wear

the sacred bracelet of rascar capac.

he too will be put to death.

blistering barnacles!

you've no right to kill him.

it's murder, pure and simple.

but it is not we who will put you to death.

it is the sun itself.

its rays will set alight your pyre.

as for this young indian who betrayed us,

he will be sacrificed at once

on the altar of the sun god.

billions of blistering blue barnacles,

don't you dare touch a hair on this boy's head.

zorrino, the medallion.

where did you steal that, little viper?

i not steal, prince of the sun.

he gave me this medallion.

i beg leave to speak.

it is i, noble prince of the sun,

who gave the sacred token

to the young stranger.

you, huascar?

a high priest of the sun god.

you gave this talisman to our enemy?

i did so because he showed great courage

and defense of one of our race.

he is not an enemy, oh noble prince.

go, huascar.

your action will save the young indian.

but the two strangers

must be sacrificed to the sun.

[all] ah!

however, i will grant them one favor.

they may choose the day and the hour

when the rays of the sacred sun

will light their pyre

within the next 30 days.

let the strangers be taken away

and confined until tomorrow.

the prince of the sun has spoken.

well, we're up to our necks this time.

huh?

[groans]

thundering typhoons! [barks]

[growls]

where did you find this newspaper?

have you forgotten?

you told me to keep it

to light a fire.

won't be needing it now.

there'll be fire all right.

now where are they?

the pendulum says they're very low.

hmmm.

now that's interesting.

what's the date today? the 15th?

yes, if it makes any difference.

then tomorrow's the 16th.

eureka! we're saved!

thundering typhoons, what's the matter with you?

i can't tell you now.

but we'll be all right.

the most important thing for you to do

is trust me and do exactly as i say.

you'll understand later.

well strangers.

have you decided on the day

and the hour of your death?

yes, noble prince of the sun.

this very afternoon at precisely 4:00.

today is my friend the captain's birthday and i-- have you gone crazy?

you know it isn't-- captain.

you promised to trust me.

guards, take them away.

the ceremony will take place

at the appointed hour.

[bird squealing]

hmmm.

you were so keen to see us roasting

on this barbeque, so here we are.

trust me, captain.

[tribal music]

[tintin] captain, there.

calculus.

after all the time we spent

searching for him.

now we'll have all eternity with him

in the ever after.

why captain, what a delightful surprise.

how are you?

oh, just dandy, cuthbert.

and you, too, my dear tintin.

but tell me, what is all this performance?

where are we?

we're with the incas.

ah! the cinema. good.

you must congratulate the director for me.

what a clever historical reconstruction.

look at those extras.

so natural.

who would believe they're acting?

let the sacrifice begin.

no. You can't, you can't.

what are we doing here?

according to the pendulum,

they should be in a very hot spot.

[cracking]

oh, pachacamac.

lord of the day, maker of earth,

strike now with thine avenging rays.

oh, magnificent sun.

do not heed your son's prayers.

show all those present

that our death is not your desire.

silence, dog!

how dare you call on the sun!

oh, sublime pachacamac,

if this sacrifice is not thy will,

hide thy shining face from us.

poor, tintin.

he's lost his mind.

blistering barnacles,

what's happening?

[whimpering]

[shouts and screams]

an eclipse.

ha-ha-ha, an eclipse.

no reason to panic, captain.

it's only an eclipse, that's all.

[howling]

mercy! mercy!

i implore you.

make the sun show his light again.

i will grant whatever you desire.

my desire is that the curse of rascar capac

be lifted from the seven explorers

who came to your temple.

they came seeking only knowledge

of what they believed was a long forgotten culture.

so be it. you have my word.

oh, sun.

lord of the day.

show mercy.

i pray thee.

pity thy children,

and show thy light once more.

why pachacamac,

the sun obeys him.

quickly, set them free.

your newspaper saved us, captain.

[laughter]

♪ life is magnificent ♪

♪ life is magnificent ♪ [howling]

[crashing] whoa! whoa! whoa! whoa!

ahhh!

now what?

it definitely says

they're getting bumped about.

these wax images enabled me

to maintain my spell over the men

for whom you plead.

but what about the crystal balls?

what were they for?

they contained a mystic liquid obtained from cocoa,

which plunged the victims into a deep sleep.

the perfect state for enchantment.

goodbye, zorrino.

your place is here now.

farewell, tintin, my friend.

before you leave, noble strangers,

i too have a favor to ask of you.

i know what you're about to say

noble prince of the sun,

and you need have no fears about that.

i will never reveal to anyone

the whereabouts of the temple of the sun.

me too, i swear it.

may my beard be barbequed

if i breathe so much as a word.

likewise. I swear i will never again

act in another film,

however glittering the hollywood contract.

adios, senior,

and may the sun shine upon you.

hang on a sec. don't leave just yet.

nothing against you, personally,

but that pays a very old debt.

ahh!

[laughing]

let's go home, captain.
