But of course! Quick, Snowy! To the Captain's! We're going on a treasure hunt! To continue our report on pickpockets : Police are checking several leads.

Guess what's in it? Treasure!? No, a journal! Look! ''Sir Francis Haddock's journal!'' Yes, and listen to this! We're in the year 1676.
The Unicorn, a valiant ship of Charles l has left Barbados in the West lndies to set sail for home.
Suddenly there's a cry from above Sail on the port bow! Thundering typhoons! She's coming close! She'll cut across my bow! And now she's running up her colours! Pirates! Clear the decks! Stand by to haul wind! The Unicorn was trying to outrun them! Typhoons! lt's no use! She's overhauling us fast! Only one thing to do : Outwit the pirates! Closer, me hearties! Closer! That's it! Closer! That's the way! Closer! Ready about! Let go braces! Surprised, the pirates had no time to alter course.
Gunners, take your places! Fire! Got her, laddies! + lt wasn't enough! The pirate ship wasn't sinking! Look! She's hoisted fresh colours! The red flag! A fight to the death! No prisoners taken! The pirates were behind the Unicorn and slip under her poop! ln this way The two ships are side by side! Wow! The pirates are ready! Weapons are drawn! Grappling irons thrown! The fight to death begins! All hands to repel boarders! Stand back! Out of the way! Back, you sea lice! Back, dirt dogs! Back, scum! Leave this man for me, lads! Help yourself, you braggard! You want to kill me? You gherkin! Braggard! Saucy tramp! Take that! And that! Take this as well! Attack from behind, eh? Then how about one of these! That happened to Sir Francis too! A heavy block fell and laid him out on the floor! The pirates had won! Every Unicorn man walked the plank! What's this? Where's my crew?.
Blue blistering barnacles! Murdering maggot! Thieving toads! l am Red Rackham.
And l'm Sir Francis Haddock! The name Red Rackham should make your blood freeze! Never mind! My ship's sinking because of your gunners! So l'm taking over the Unicorn! My men are transferring the booty on board! And what booty it is indeed! Enjoy the night, Sir Francis! Because tomorrow at dawn you die! That night the Unicorn dropped anchor on a 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 gunpowder was stored.
The celebration is missing a few fireworks! Prepare to die, Sir Francis! l'll shave your beard! Porcupine! l'll pluck your feathers, you jay! He knew he was going to be blown sky high, unless he put out the fuse! Rackham, l'm getting angry! Snowy! l've got you! Captain! Captain? Victory! Red Rackham is dead! May heaven forgive your wicked soul! Justice is done! Sir Francis lived for 2 more years on the island before his rescue.
And the journal ends! The last page is a testament.
He left each of his 3 sons a model of the Unicorn.
He told them if they move the mast, the truth will emerge! That's it! Rackham's treasure! The maps are hidden in the masts! Treasure! Treasure! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Rackham's treasure here l come! What maps? Don't worry! We have one.

l'm telling you l'm innocent! He's the guilty party! Tell it to the judge, you jellyfish! lt's okay.
He's telling the truth.
He thinks his employers are legitimate.
ln that case May we inform you you're under arrest.
Mr Barnaby survived your shooting.
He's given us a statement.
Barnaby's alive? Shut up! lt's a trick! l assure you it's not a trick! What shall we do, Max? We'll shut up! Why don't you tell the truth? The judge will take it under consideration.
lt started when we found a model of the Unicorn.
Shut up! No, you shut up! Then you found the parchment? Yes.
lt was part of a treasure map.
We needed two more parts.
So we hired Barnaby.
- To find the other ships mine and Mr Sakharine's? We told him to steal the parchments.
He said he'd tell you unless we paid more.
So you shot him! Miserable worm! l don't understand.
Why kidnap me if Barnaby had them? Because l stole them from him, and you from me Give me my wallet back! The one you stole! But l didn't steal your wallet! The pickpocket! We can help you with that.
You can?! We've traced the pickpocket.
Mr Silk, You're under arrest! For pickpocketing.
Me! A thief?! Me, Aristide Silk! How can you substantiate that? Through your dry cleaners.
No point denying it.
l'm an honourable retired gentleman! Eureka! l've got the wallets and parchments.
This way, please! Obviously you made a mistake, Thomson.
No.
Obviously it was you who made a mistake, Thompson.
Ask him to show you his wallet collection.
lt is from the light that light will dawn! Ten thousand typhoons! Latitude and longitude! lt's where the Unicorn sank! We're going to be rich! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
