The Red Sea Sharks - Part 2
Are you still worried about Mull Pacha's soldiers?
I just don't think they're going to give up that easily.
It took 3 days to arrange this boat.
So they must know by now that we're headed out to sea.
What a pessimist you are, Tintin.
What do you think they'll do? send a squadron of battleships after us?
Well. not quite, but...
Wait! Listen...
Thundering typhoons! He's coming right for us!
Hit the deck!
Bandits! Pirates!
Gangsters! Assassins!
It's him or us this time.
Look out!
Got him!
Good shooting, Tintin!
Captain... what happened?
I don't know... some cowardly rat attacked me from behind.
Look out!
- My "dose"! - Sorry.
Come on... there's no time to lose.
We gotta build some kind of raft fast before the whole thing goes up in flame.
May I have the pleasure of this samba. Princess?
But of course, Marquis.
Excuse me, my lord.
There is a radio call for you.
- It's urgent. - Awfully sorry. dear lady.
Business... always business.
I am indeed a veritable slave.
Don't give it another thought, Marquis.
The Marquis Di Gorgonzola is a true gentleman.
Naturally, malicious tongues spread rumors that he has a shady past.
Hallo! Sheherazade to Blue Goat. I'm listening...
Mr. Blue Goat, powerful Mosquito has stung insect pests 1 and 2. Over.
Message understood. Over and out.
Blue Blistering barnacles!
We've saved 2 cases of provisions and no can opener!
It's enough to drive you crazy.
Help! Over here!
There! It's the Mosquito pilot we shot down.
So? Let him take care of himself.
Help! Help! Help me...!
Piotr Skut! I can't believe it's you!
I... I am sorry.
Sorry? Sorry!
You trigger-happy thug, you! Who put you up to this?
I...
Speak up, you blithering bombardier!
Or I'll defreak you!
Captain!
M.. M.. Mull Pacha!
He gave the orders. but...
I think his orders come from Di Gorgonzola.
- Di Gorgonzola? - Please... careful with knife!
So, tell me Skut..., why were you shooting at us?
I take the job with added military...
They tell me your boat is gun runners and to sink you... I'm sorry...
Well, never mind. The important thing now is to survive.
Try to drink some seawater.
Never... that's saltwater.
Really, Captain, it's not all that bad.
Are you out of your mind? You should never drink that.
It's full of plankton that the fish eat.
This not good.
Yahoo!
There! A ship! We're saved!
Just when you'd swallowed that liquid fish food!
Hey! Over here!
The ship, she not see us.
We've got to get their attention. Has anyone got a mirror?
Uh... You want comb too?
No, thanks, just a mirror.
Well done. sailor!
There... my lord, shipwreck survivors.
3 men and a little dog...
Tintin survives!
- Shall I alter course? - A waste of time!
Proceed on course.
And not a word to the passengers. Understand?
Yoohoo... Marquis!
Marquis? Where are you?
The castaways, my dear fellow. Out there on a raft.
How madly romantic.
Yes. Isn't it exciting?
- I've just given the order to pick them up. - But I...
Pick... them... up!
Yes. sir.
Oh, how gorgeous!
I've always dreamed of seeing real castaways.
Hooray!
Those people are not to have any contact with my guests.
My name is not to be mentioned in front of them. Understand?
Can I believe my eyes! It's Tintin and his friend,
the deep-sea fisherman Paddock!
Art must embrace the children of adventure.
Castafiore!
On behalf of Marquis Di Gorgonzola...
Gorgonzola?
Allow me to welcome you aboard the Scheherazade,
Carissimo mio!
- Let's hop back on the raft! - My dear Tintin!
And Captain Harrock!
Haddock... Signora Castoroili.
Captain Haddock.
Sorry, senores, but His Lordship has given orders.
There is to be no contact with the castaways! Risk of infection, you know.
My good man, I am not you!
I must get rid of Tintin.
I'm calling the Ramona! This is Rastapopoulos.
Ramona here. What's up, boss?
Allan, set a course for my yacht immediately.
I have some passengers for you.
Get dressed, quickly! You're in luck. The freighter, Ramona, has agreed to carry you to land.
Good. fine...
I... I'm coming.
Our castaways! They're leaving!
I wish you a pleasant journey. my dear friends.
Ahh... this is the place for me. Back aboard a good old freighter!
Hear, you two. These are your quarters.
Why separate us? There's room for 3 here.
Right. Skut?
Open up, you ill-mannered savages!
Open up!
Well. well. well...
Allan!
This is a happy reunion, isn't it?
You old bottle-nose. We must have a drink on it!
What's going on? What are you doing here?
You still haven't figured it out, huh?
I command this vessel and I work for Di Gorgonzola!
My orders are to put you ashore at Wadesdah.
It's murder, there's a price on our heads.
You're breaking my heart.
Let's drink to my health.
Not a chance!
I don't drink with Di Gorgonzola's monkeys.
Suit yourself. But I'll just leave the bottle
to console you.
Well... bye for now. Sleep tight.
By the way, do you sleep with your beard under or over the sheet?
Over?
Not that way.
Under?
Blistering barnacles! Not that way either. Who needs blankets?
It's too hot anyway.
Pull, boys... pull...!
She'll blow any minute now.
There... I'm already asleep.
Too hot! Too hot!
Assembly signal! Shake a leg there!
All hands on deck!
What's the matter?
- Get up and give me a hand. - What are you doing?
Well... it's great to be free, but why the panic?
Something's wrong! It's too quiet!
Quick! Let's see what's happening.
Thundering typhoons! The ship's on fire!
Pirates! Filibusters!
Saltwater savages!
18 tons of high explosives.
It'll make a pretty fireworks display.
Hurry! We have to find a raft or something and get off this tub.
Help! Help us!
Who in the world could be down there?
Help me... help get us out!
- Let's get them out of there. - Right!
Hurry everyone, hurry! The ship's on fire!
You heard him! Move it!
We must help put it out.
Explosives!
Captain! Everybody! Over here!
We've almost got it beat!
What gives? The fire's gone out!
Bring her about, boys.
You've saved our lives. How can we ever repay you?
You can tell me why you were locked in that hold, for starters.
We are refugees.
The men on this boat promised to take us to America.
- We paid them all we had... our life savings! - Look!
They are coming back!
Captain, you think you can get the engines running?
I'll need men for the stoke room.
Pull, boys... Pull!
Valve closed, Captain.
Open Valve 2...
Pour on the coal!
Tintin, take the wheel!
Come on! Row! Row!
What?
She's pulling away!
I don't know how we did it.
but she's under way at last. Thanks to our "crew"... ha ha!
I'll send out a distress signal.
What?
Skut... say something!
You! Hurry! Escape!
The fire! She pull up explosives!
It's OK, Skut, the fire's out.
But what happened to you?
They try to make me go with them. But I refuse...!
Not without you...
Then they get angry and knock me out.
Come in, Ramona. This is Red Sea Shark. This is Red Sea Shark.
It's Di Gorgonzola's submarine.
Submarine?
Ramona here. Come in, Shark.
- Come in. Shark. - Finally!
What's going on? I've been trying to reach you for hours.
Receiver was broken, but is OK now.
A sambuk is waiting for you at the usual place
to pick up the cargo in your hold.
Message received loud and clear, Shark. Over and out.
Is there any "cargo" on board, Captain?
I thoroughly inspected the ship and all the holds are empty, except for the refugees.
The "cargo" is refugees! And I bet those sharks
don't intend to take them to America either.
They probably intend to just dump them at sea.
Captain, we'd better tell those people out there.
I'll send out an SOS.
SOS... SOS!
The Ramona needs help.
SOS! This is the Ramona.
We need immediate assistance.
What?! The Ramona's still afloat?
That means Tintin must still be alive!
This is the Battleship USS Los Angeles to Ramona. Your SOS received.
So. the navy is butting in on our little business.
Well... it's not going to help Tintin.
Calling Red Sea Shark! You must liquidate the Ramona!
You musn't worry! We know who the guilty party is.
As soon as we're all safe, believe me, he will be brought to justice.
Help arriving soon... USS Los Angeles... she is 3 hours away.
Tintin... come and see this.
What is it, Captain?
Have a look...
Wow! Flying fish!
Beautiful!... Oh. no!
- Captain! - Take it easy.
It's only a...
a peri... a peris...
A periscope! Headed straight for us!
Battle stations!
Clear the decks! Women and children first!
Calm down, Captain!
I'm perfectly calm! Tintin, you man the radio.
Skut, you're at the wheel.
Aye aye, Captain!
Stand by... number 1 tube!
Stand by number 1 tube!
Number 1 tube!
- Fire! - Fire number 1!
Torpedo to port! Hard-a-starboard!
Curses on them! They've swung away!
Starboard 20 degrees! Speed 6 knots!
Stand by... number 2 tube!
SOS... SOS!
Ramona calling USS Los Angeles!
We are being attacked by a submarine.
Message received, Ramona. We are coming to your assistance. Hold steady!
Go ahead, Tintin! Call for help all you like!
You'll be shark bait long before help arrives...
Thundering typhoons! Another torpedo to starboard!
Full speed ahead!
Billions of Blue blistering barnacles!
We're stuck in reverse!
Infernal machine!
Curse them again! They're going astern! They're tough, those boys!
Ready! Tubes 1 and 4?
They're still going astern! We've got 'em this time!
Hello! Hello! Engine room!
Too late! They got us!
Those are the planes from the USS Los Angeles!
Depth charges!
- And I thought we'd been torpedoed. - Look.
We're save...! They're surrendering!
Still no news from Kurt and his submarine.
The fools! What are they doing?
Hello! You better come to the bridge right away.
All right. I'm coming.
It's the USS Los Angeles, sir, ordering us to drop anchor.
What impertinence!
Stop the engine and launch my personal boat.
I'll go myself and tell those insolent cowboys what I think of their manners!
It looks as if...
Yes... they're dropping a launch.
No... I insist, my friends. I will go alone.
Rastapopoulos!
He must be the Marquis Di Gorgonzola!
Let me have a look at that wretched refugee swindler.
Wait! He's sinking!
Oh... The Marquis! How horrible!
I don't believe it! Is he finally gone for good?
Try to catch me now, gentlemen!
Well. what a joy to be home again.
Listen to those familiar sounds. The gardener mowing the lawn...
Welcome back to Marlinspiiike...!
That's a funny way to welcome people home, Professor!
Welcome back to Marlinspike, gentlemen.
What on earth are those contraptions?
Oh, no. On the contrary.
I think they're the solution to the terrible traffic problems in our modern cities.
They're handy, lightweight, flexible...
Fine! Fine! But where is Abdullah?
You wouldn't believe it. 40 pounds per hour!
Oh. sir! I'm so glad to see you back!
Nestor? What's happened to you?
I'm afraid Master Abdullah's visit was not very good for me, sir...
But he's gone now.
He left you a note.
and the Emir Ben Kalish Ezab is in power once again.
bringing political stability back to Khemed
and ending the illegal smuggling of refugees by the notorious international gangster, Rastapopoulos
who is still missing at sea and presumed drowned.
"My dear Blistering Barnacles. I have been very good.
I haven't played any jokes.
I'm a bit sad to leave, because it was fun at Marlinspike.
With love from your friend, Abdullah. "
Isn't that sweet?
He wasn't such a bad kid, after...
Billions of millions of
blue blistering barnacles...!
The End...
