Let me go. My men will come looking for me.

You'll never get away with this.

Here he is, commando.

Looking for this, by chance?

Holger Ralf.

Shh.

Where is it?

Tell me where it is!

You'll never get your hands on the Zell's diamond. We'll see about that.

But if I'm right, nothing and no one will be able to stop me.

Where are they? They should have already been here.

Hey.

There they are.

I told you.

They're all waiting for us on the platform.

Easy for you to say when all you have to do is take care of the finances.

So you admit it. My job is harder than yours, my dear. I didn't say that.

It's just that it takes a certain amount of time to do things well.

Tell him we...

Are you afraid they don't sell pots and pans in Russia?

No, but I'm sure they're not cheap.

If we bring them from home, we can save some money.

What? When is this bickering going to stop?

When he admits that packing bags and organizing meals is harder than managing

loose change. This expedition gives me the perfect chance to prove the

opposite. Esther is going to manage the money and Del and we the food and

clothes. I'm going back to the office.

Come on. Aren't you getting on?

Of course I am. In first class.

Being comfortable is of prime importance on such a long trip. What?

Saving money is of prime importance.

I can't believe it.

Hey, wait for me.

First class!

Half the money already thrown to the wind!

Why don't you just set your mind on that bag?

And when are the rest of our bags coming then?

Everything we need is inside this one bag.

Folding clothes is an art. You just have to have the right touch.

Let's just hope they manage to settle their differences before we get to St.

Petersburg.

Let me give you a hand. Or maybe...

A foot!

Dad, I didn't know the Tsar read Conte Voyage.

He must be a very fond reader to invite all of us to the Nomad Market in

Irkutsk. I met the Tsar several years ago on one of my trips. From then on, I

always sent him a copy of every issue.

This will make an amazing article.

We'll see the biggest market in the whole Russian Empire.

I'm exhausted, but I did it.

Folding clothes is an art. You just have to have the right touch.

Here you go.

Thank you.

If you'd like, the restaurant is now serving the dinner.

Thank you, but we don't need the restaurant car.

Dinner has already been prepared.

Would you like some tomatoes in your salad?

Yes, please.

This is our dinner?

Oh, you're right. Do forgive me.

That's everything.

Bon appétit.

You must be the Russian Emperor's guests from France.

Yes, we are. I am Monsieur Lucas, and these are my assistants and guests from

the Comte de Voyage. A feast will be held in your honor. Please, follow me.

Oh, thank you. But we've already eaten on the train.

We're not all that hungry.

Monsieur Lucas, how wonderful to see you. There is no need to be so formal.

You are my guest.

It's such an honor to be here, sire. This is Jules, my assistant at the

magazine, and this is my daughter Amelie. Oh, Miss Amelie.

Why aren't you just lovely?

Thank you very much, sire. Please, help yourselves.

You must be very hungry.

With Dylan we in charge of the food, we better eat while we can.

It's been so long since you've come to Russia, my friend.

Indeed it has.

I haven't been back since I came to study the vegetation and the tiger.

Excuse me, your majesty, we have a problem.

The diamond may be in jeopardy. Does Ogorev have something to do with this?

He's entered the kingdom.

Him and his horde of bandits are attacking all our battle stations.

Blast it, man!

He's trying to find out where the diamond is hidden. If I can do anything

to help.

Dear Artemis, in such a dark hour, the solace of a friend is just what I need.

Strogoff, Kissoff, I'll be waiting for you in the library.

At your service, your majesty.

What concerns you, your majesty? Ogarev. He's tracking down the diamond.

There's a warrant for that scoundrel to rest.

How can he possibly escape our army?

Take only a few men and travel from village to village incognito.

But only you know where the diamond is, your majesty.

That villain is traveling throughout the whole kingdom. It won't be long till he

arrives at Irkutsk, where the diamond is.

I'll get a group of men together and go and greet him like he deserves.

If I may.

It does seem risky.

Ogorev may decide to speed things up a bit. Yes, and become more violent,

endangering the lives of my men.

What would you suggest, Monsieur Lucas?

My expedition is heading directly for Irkutsk.

Send one of your men with us. That way he can get the diamond without calling

too much attention to himself.

My sword is at your service.

At your command, your majesty.

Artemus, my friend, I would have never dared to ask.

Strogoff will go with you undercover.

You will travel under the false name of Karpanov.

And you will be this foreign journalist's guide.

You have called for me, sir.

Along the river, 12 kilometers to the east.

You'll find a nomad camp.

Give this to their leader.

Something wrong?

This screw just doesn't hold.

I'm trying to fix it so it doesn't break during the trip.

This resin is a very powerful binding agent. It will hold its screw in place.

There you go. Looks like we have someone even more skilled at fixing things than

you, Jules.

We are counting on you. That diamond is the most precious thing this star has.

Give me one good reason not to kill you.

I... I have a letter for your leader. From Kissoff.

Any news, Commander?

We know at the diamonds.

Prepare to leave!

We are going to Irkutsk.

How can they stand out there in this cold?

Jules! He caught another one! Isn't he wonderful?

Hey, look!

I've caught something!

But we're... Good job, Jules. You're getting better. We're having smoked

salmon tonight.

What's going on?

Rapids! Hang on!

Engines at full speed!

If we don't get through, we'll be engulfed by the rapids!

Oh no! We have to get those logs out of the way!

Excellent work!

I can't get control!

We're done for!

That branch isn't going to hold for long.

I need to flip those trees.

Good

work,

Stragoff.

I'm going to cut the rope! Run the motors at full speed!

Get back aboard!

Strugov!

Strugov!

Looking for me?

What a great gadget.

I need to have one made for myself.

Let's go.

It's time we use the heavy artillery.

The chef cooked up the salmon strogoff coat.

It's wonderful.

And we can trade the extra ones for dried meat that we can use on our trip.

You are truly resourceful, monsieur.

Korpanoff. I don't know about you, but I've lost my appetite.

This storm has no intention of letting up. The streets will be impassable

tomorrow. That's not a problem.

We'll go to town and hire some sleds.

Yeah! Not bad for your first time, Jewel.

Are we there yet?

There's something in the middle of the road.

It's a man.

Are you okay, sir?

I am.

Who are the ones in trouble?

It's an ambush!

Oh, mon dieu!

My name is Korpanoff. I am this French journalist's guide. We have no reaches.

What a clever cover.

But it will do you no good.

Strogoth.

What do you want from us?

Let us go.

Oh, of course.

That way you can go to Erkutsk and stop Commander Ogarev from getting his hands

on the diamond.

My travel companions know nothing about all this. Leave them alone.

Help!

Come

on!

Charge!

Quickly! Let's go!

Hey, Big Bear!

Over here!

Jules, get away from here!

Come on, boy!

I don't get it.

All this trouble just to get a diamond?

Stragov must be afraid he's going to die of hunger.

There's enough food on this list for an extra person.

Oh, Amelie!

Don't be fooled.

These telescopes don't work.

That's a kaleidoscope. Go on without me. I'll be right back.

Move! Other than dried meat, we can also offer you freshly cooked stroganoff. It

was made just now.

Did you see stroganoff with those journalists?

No, Commander.

But I am sure they are already here.

In a short while, the diamond will be mine.

What is all this stuff?

Do you want us to go back to Paris without any souvenirs?

Monsieur Lucas, Monsieur Strogoff, Ogareff is here.

I saw two of his men at the market.

Let's get the diamond and get out of here. What are we waiting for?

Unfortunately, we are not ready yet.

Transporting a diamond requires particular caution.

Gosh, it must be gigantic.

There it is.

The Tsar's diamond.

That's the most precious diamond in the Russian Empire, and I thought it would

be bigger.

Jewels? The girl is the diamond, not the jewel.

Oops, sorry.

Nadia is the Tsar's daughter.

His most precious gem.

Pleased to meet you.

Now I understand.

If Ogorev kidnaps the princess, he could blackmail the Tsar.

He'd have him in his power and could make him do whatever he wanted.

That's why she was sent here.

But this place isn't safe anymore.

We can't risk an ambush while we leave the city.

Excuse me, Princess.

May I?

Maybe this will help you get out of Irkutsk safe and sound.

Why don't we walk in and take that diamond, Commando?

The letter said to wait for Strogoff to take it out.

Why waste the effort of getting inside?

when he'll take it out for us.

Commander, something move.

It's them. Stop. I know men like Strogoff.

I knew it. The first carriage was just a diversion.

The diamond is on the sled.

Let's go.

This must be your stop strong

Look at how many men I have.

You don't think you can stop them all by yourself, do you?

Why not?

It sounds like a good idea.

Where?

Where is the princess?

Safe at the palace.

It didn't matter if you attacked the sled or the carriage.

You wouldn't have won either way. I recognized one of your men at the market

today. You should have been more careful, Ogorev.

Sure! Throw down your arms! There are too many of them!

Jules! What?

It's all over, Ogareff.

You're my prisoner now.

My dear Nadia. See that, Kissoff?

Strogoff did it. The plan we used to capture Ogarev was all Jules' idea.

Thank you, Monsieur Verne. You are so courageous.

Congratulations.

You have proved yourself loyal to the Tsar.

Unlike you, Kissoff!

What are you insinuating?

Ogarev was fully informed about our mission.

There must have been an informer inside the palace.

But only you, Artemis, Kissoff and myself knew about this mission.

You!

You betrayed me!

But... but... I... I... Sire!

Guards! Seize that man!

He was sure we would never have made it back to turn him in. I must thank you

again, Strogoff, for this too.

Oh. I would never have been able to do it without the help of my friends from

Count de Voyage.

Then there will be a handsome reward for them too.

A handsome reward?

He's got a lot of nerve calling a Matryoshka doll a handsome reward.

This trip has cost us a fortune.

We've spent everything down to the last cent.

Oh yes, dear, but we had lots of fun, didn't we?

Look here.

Now this is truly a reward worthy of a Tsar.

It must be worth a fortune.

That means I won the bet.

I managed our money better than you have ever done, Monsieur Dylanui. That egg is

a reward for an unexpected mission.

Balancing a budget is something far different.

Without doubt, I am the winner.

But you didn't plan even one...

after that dinner on the train, so I... All right, all right, we're even.

Now each one of us will return to our own duties.

This was the most tiresome trip I've ever taken.
