2003: Ethereal Dawn

Laying in your sonic hammock…you play amongst the stars…then swim in the waters……and awaken to the Ethereal Dawn.

Blues Brothers integration

– Calculus and the BB should fit a second tracker to a Mercedes G-Wagon at Scimitar HQ (to where it’s registered,) while Sponsz and his team are visiting and the BB and Calculus see them all getting out.

Sponsz: I saw Tintin at the train line, you know, the other day asking questions.
Muller: Don’t worry about it.
Sponsz: I’m not. [they walk into the building]
Elwood: They don’t look too friendly [while hidden behind some trees]
Jake: Thanks Professor [Elwood looks at Calculus]
Elwood: I was just saying, you know, maybe we should track them too
Jake: Damn Jake, I mean like, Fuck
Elwood: A friend in need is a friend indeed [Calculus looks at Elwood]
Jake: Can’t he just be a fair-weather friend or something?
Elwood: Actually, I think we should all become policemen, I mean if you can’t beat them, join them. [they fit the tracker]

– Thus, in the synopsis, “Sponsz’s hit squad attempt a drive-by kidnapping from a van but the two escape by getting onto a train track with a train hitting a couple of Sponsz’s men after being pushed by Boron and Rosalind.” Here the BB can come to Tintin’s aid during that scene, because they have access to the tracking device to that Merc vehicle. They can call Tintin when they get an alert on how fast the Merc is moving and Tintin doesn’t answer his phone. It could be an extended car chase, and the BB can be in an ex-highway patrol vehicle:

However, the Merc  should not be destroyed and is tracked again later by Tintin, when the BB tell him how they came to his aid and he starts using the tracking device himself.

– Tintin starts tracking the Merc vehicle and rather than just happening to be at the same place at the same time to catch Violette (when he’s meant to meet T+T at Hokeler’s to give them documents and whereby she’s on a hit) he is also forewarned of her arrival by using the tracker and calls the BB to come. Also, Muller can be with her driving the vehicle. Muller sees the BB in their ex-highway patrol vehicle (badly damaged from last car chase) and decides to speed off. However, he hits a bikey who is somewhat drunk and leaving a cafe. He falls off his bike:

All the bikey’s friends get on their bikes and Muller drives off, but he lets out Violette around a corner to do her hit. The last shot of Muller is being pursued by a bunch of angry bikies holding up clubs. The police notice the bikies pursuing Muller and his van matches the CCTV footage of the drive-by kidnapping, and as the bikies see the police, they think they are the ones being pursued and start driving down sidewalks. Muller is eventually arrested and tied back to the homeless killings (along with Sponsz and Violette) – the police find the tracking coupons on the victims and can pursue the case once the Royal Australian Navy are involved.

– Boron sees this Merc vehicle in his dream

– Tintin should fit a tracking device to the Bordurian as well when he is at the dock and Haddock and Jammo are speaking. The BB get these 3 tracking devices from one of their friends they met whilst in prison.

– Tintin, Haddock and Boron get the attention of the Royal Australian Navy at the end for the final scene by having Haddock deliver them the white truck from his ship. This also allows any charges against them and the BB to be eventually dropped.

Tintin and the Ormus King: Chalice of Malice
Sequence: Dream Hit
Non-commercial license: (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
Usage: can replace “Boron is followed and kidnapped” scene from part 1 – instead Boron can have this dream as he lies down to sleep and the audience should always be aware it is a dream whereby all the characters can be in color and the remainder in black and white and/or it can be a no-cut God-cam that enters people’s heads in a type of universal follow drone.

The dream starts off at Como House (1st pic) where Boron is on the lawn reading the paper. One knife is thrown and stabs the newspaper the next skims his leg and cuts it causing him to bleed. Boron leaves Como House (2nd pic) and he sprints up Washington Street and sees a kind woman entering her house with a dog (3rd pic.) He reaches the house and she lets him into her apartment where she keeps many pets. The two pursuers all dressed in white ring on the doorbell and she doesn’t let them in as Boron sees Violette and Sponsz on the screen. They have followed his blood drops up the pavement to that residence. The woman can also give Boron a towel to press against his bleeding leg. Moments later a third person arrives in a white Mercedes 4WD with a high-powered flamethrower connected to a tank under the car and torches the building, which erupts in flames. That person is Muller.  The three outside can also throw grenades. Adrian and the kind woman leave via the side door into the street and the pursuers see him so he sprints off. He manages to lose the 4WD as Muller is having too much fun torching the building and watching lit animals escape through a broken window while he torches them. Some animals have their hair alight (meanwhile the kind woman is trying to save them.)

Boron makes it to a large house on St Georges road (4th pic) with a white utility vehicle (the one to be shipped to Borduria) still in the driveway. He rings the doorbell and hears a man call from the roof. Boron moves out to the middle of the road to see Redd White standing on the roof. He also sees the two pursuers approaching him, and as he looks to the man on the roof, Redd White pulls out a rifle and shoots Boron in the head. Boron wakes up.

important note and disclaimer: the locations and properties in the photos were chosen for their proximity to each other, their visual appeal and stimulus for story ideas. By no other means do they represent any preference for their inclusion in this story sequence. Any residence could be used depending on the logistics of the filming, and even imagined and created for that purpose. This same principle applies to all the photos selected on this blog used for Chalice of Malice and related Tintin storyboard images.
