The Blue Lotus: Part 1 - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: Tintin leaves Mitsuhirato's office with a Chinese guy watching him. Look at his food on the table. Only one side of the bowl has food in it. The other side is empty and magically manages to hold still. (00:05:45)

Revealing mistake: Just after the Chinese man gets shot, he starts sweating. Right as he finishes saying "We need help", part of the sweat sliding down his face just slides onto his tooth and continues down onto his face. (00:02:45)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
