01:24I'll perfect it if it takes a hundred more sleepless nights!
01:29I know I'm close to a breakthrough!
01:31I know it!
01:33Oh!
01:34How clumsy of me!
01:37I suppose I really should get some rest!
01:40Wh-
01:41Wh-
01:42What's happening?
01:44The formula!
01:46What have I done?
01:47In the wrong hands this powder could destroy the world!
01:51I feel so weak!
01:52Excellent!
01:53Excellent!
01:54Excellent!
01:55Excellent!
01:56Octon!
01:57Have Dr. Whitestead and his daughter brought here to me at once?
01:59Yes, my lord Ming!
02:01I'm sure the doctor won't mind giving us a few gardening tips!
02:08Patience, old buddy!
02:09You'll be home before you know it!
02:10Uh-oh!
02:11Here come Ming's boys!
02:12This'll be fun!
02:13This is your idea of fun?
02:14You bet!
02:15Watch this!
02:16I'm sure the doctor won't mind giving us a few gardening tips.
02:26Patience, old buddy. You'll be home before you know it.
02:30Uh-oh. Here come Ming's boys. This'll be fun.
02:33This is your idea of fun?
02:36You bet. Watch this.
02:46This is your idea of fun.
03:16We'll never get through. It's a piece of cake.
03:23Ming's boys are on the loose. That can only mean trouble. I've got to get back to Earth.
03:29Approaching Professor White's dead slamatory. Prepare to land.
03:38Father, I'm home.
03:40Something doesn't feel right.
03:43Father must still be in the lab.
03:46Father?
03:48Father!
03:52What? What do you want?
03:57Prepare the other human for the trip to Ice Station Earth.
04:01Don't you dare touch my father!
04:03Homework! Yuck!
04:20I mean, why should I ruin a whole Saturday afternoon working on some dumb plan experiment for science class?
04:33Come on, Kashin. Schoolwork's very important.
04:37You don't become a defender just because of your bravery, strength, skill?
04:40And good looks.
04:41Kashin, it takes lots of study, too.
04:44I'd still rather be out saving the world.
04:50Ah, our guests of honor have arrived.
04:54Welcome to my room of inquisition.
04:57Please make yourselves comfortable.
04:59I would question your father, but unfortunately, he's no longer very talkative.
05:05I demand you release us!
05:08My inquisitor will soon change your mind, my dear.
05:11Oh! Oh, whatever you do, I'll never tell you what you want to know!
05:15As you Earthlings say, I wouldn't detonate.
05:21Now, my dear, what are the ingredients in your father's formula?
05:26No, I won't tell you!
05:29Let's try again, shall we?
05:34One part sodium nitrate, one part nitrous oxygen, and ten parts loba.
05:43Loba? What is loba?
05:45Secret ingredient.
05:47Rare herb.
05:49Only my father and his oldest friend know.
05:52Oldest friend?
05:53Mandrake.
05:55Mandrake, the magician.
05:57Mandrake, eh?
05:58My old adversary.
06:00Your job, my dear, will be to convince Mandrake to reveal the location of the herb I need.
06:05Unless you want your father to end up as a chef's cell.
06:09I can't believe you forgot Rick Gordon
06:15Our first high society function
06:17The Blue Moon Soiree
06:19You remember
06:20The coming out party Mandrake and Dad are giving for us
06:23Oh, that Blue Moon Soiree
06:25Sure, I'll be there
06:26Man
06:27Good evening, Dad
06:39Mandrake
06:40Uh, hi
06:41Look
06:43Wow, it's Jetta
06:45I almost didn't recognize her
06:47Hi, Jetta
06:49Would you like to, um
06:50Dance, the word is dance
06:52Rick, come on
06:53The monitoring device I planted in her tiara
07:07Is working perfectly
07:09Ouch
07:10Sorry, Jetta
07:11Bridget
07:15Bridget Whitestead
07:18What a surprise
07:19I'm so glad you've come
07:21Tell me, how is your father?
07:22He's on the balcony
07:23He must speak with you immediately
07:26Come
07:27Dr. Whitestead
07:32Once my robots bring Mandrake to the Inquisitor
07:36The secret location of the Loba will be mine
07:41You aren't leaving the party so soon, are you?
07:55But then I can't see
08:05I'm sorry to see you go
08:07Don't you stand there, girl
08:13Get some water for the man
08:14What's the matter, girl?
08:16Did you not hear me?
08:18I'm afraid she can't hear you, old friend
08:19Ming?
08:21Unquestionably
08:22Assemble our group
08:23You want me to help her?
08:32Your telepathic powers should be strong enough to break Ming's hold on her mind
08:35Now, concentrate, Jetta
08:37Oh, where, where am I?
08:44Okay
08:47Let's go over the plan one more time
08:50Bridget, still pretending to be under his mind control
08:54Will tell Ming he can find Loba there
08:56Siberia?
08:58Right
08:59But what Ming doesn't know
09:01Is that the Loba herb only grows here
09:03In the remote Kinkar jungle of Peru
09:05And that, my dear friends
09:07Is where the phantom is now standing guard
09:09As a precautionary measure
09:10While Ming is out on his wild goose chase
09:13Mandrake and I are going to take a little trip
09:15To Ice Station Earth
09:16We'll get your father back, Bridget
09:18I promise
09:19Oh, thank you, Mandrake
09:21Never make promises you can't keep, Mandrake
09:28Monitor to phantom
09:39Any sign of trouble?
09:40No, LJ
09:41It's as quiet as
09:42Come in, Mandrake
09:45LJ
09:46Can you hear me?
09:49Ming's ice robots
09:50How did they find out the Loba is here?
09:53By jungle law
09:54The ghost who walks
09:56Calls forth the strength
09:58Of ten tigers
10:00They've gotten most of the Loba
10:06Inferno
10:08Fire
10:09Let's see what you ice robots are really made of
10:14Return your ice station Earth
10:18It's too late
10:25It's ready, you great one
10:31We must be sure
10:32Bring me a subject
10:34Yes, yes, Master
10:38I have something for you
10:41Ah, the formula works perfectly
10:47Now I have only to cover the Earth with it
10:51Now to make us a little less conspicuous
10:55Amazing
10:59My own mother would swear I was one of Ming's men of frost
11:03Ming demands our presence
11:08Open the gates
11:10You've got to teach me that sometime
11:16I can see through your illusions
11:19Mandrake and Mothar
11:21I've been expecting you
11:23Gods, fire
11:25I guess it's time for plan number two
11:29Well, the gentleman did say fire
11:36Please
11:39Stop, you fools
11:42It's only an illusion
11:43Surrender, magician
11:45You'll never escape my station Earth
11:47Never
11:47I promise you that
11:49Never make promises you can't keep Ming
11:54If only I could have stopped them
11:58You did your best, old friend
11:59Father
12:01Thank you
12:03Thank you for bringing my father back
12:05We almost didn't
12:07Ming was expecting us
12:08He also knew the real location of the Loba plants
12:11What's going on?
12:12I don't know
12:12But now that Ming has all the ingredients to Dr. Whitestead's formula
12:16We're in trouble
12:17That's why we've got to find out what his next step is
12:19I have an idea involving Dynac X
12:22But it's risky
12:23Let me guess
12:26You want me to interface with Octon, correct?
12:31Octon could blow Dynac X's microprocessors to bits
12:34I am willing to take that chance
12:36We'll be with you all the way
12:37Octon, what is it?
12:44I don't know
12:45Intruder in my memory circuit
12:47Dynac X
12:48Dynac X
12:50I'm inside Octon's memory now
12:54My presence has been detected
12:57Get out
12:58Get out of there now
12:59Internal security at full strength, sire
13:03I have forced Dynac X to retreat
13:06Did she get any information?
13:08No, sire
13:09I was too fast for her
13:11I was too fast for him
13:13I copied the data before he even knew I was there
13:17Good work, Dynac
13:19According to this information
13:21Ming plans to use his robo-pilots
13:23To blanket Earth with Dr. Whitestead's plant food
13:25And everyone coming in contact with the formula will
13:28Be like my father
13:30We're not beaten yet
13:32All we've got to do is stop Ming's robo-pilots
13:34From dumping Dr. Whitestead's formula
13:36In the upper atmosphere
13:37Ming's robots don't stand a chance against me
13:42Okay, Dad
13:43As soon as Dynac picks up any alien presence
13:45This is it, enemy ship's headed your way
13:48Okay, boys and girls, it's fireworks time
13:53Warning
13:55Laser weapons malfunctioning
13:58All weapons are useless
13:59Come on, come on
14:02It's no use
14:02All circuits are blocked
14:04Look!
14:06Within 3 hours and 22 minutes
14:08All of Earth will be covered with Dr. Whitestead's formula
14:12The Earth is doomed if we can't stop them
14:18I'd like to know how Ming is staying one step ahead of us
14:21First he found out about the real location of the loba
14:24And now, sabotaging the space station and monitor's weapon systems
14:28I'm getting a weird sensation
14:31As if there's a... a spy among us
14:35This explains it
14:39A transmitter's sending every word we've said directly to Ming
14:42But how?
14:43How?
14:44You are a spy!
14:46Come on, Jenna, that's not fair
14:47I don't know how that got in there
14:49Excuse the interruption
14:51But a partial analysis reveals just one way to neutralize the plant food
14:56Water! That's brilliant!
14:58If we can dilute the powder before it reaches the ground
15:01It'll be too weak to do any harm
15:03How do you propose watering an entire planet?
15:06Please observe
15:07Specially charged ion particles released at a key point
15:11Will stimulate raining clouds worldwide
15:14However, this plan is based upon incomplete data
15:18It may not work
15:20There's only one way to find out
15:22Ion tanks filled?
15:24Just remember, you've got to release the particles at the exact coordinates
15:28Hey, I could do it with my eyes closed
15:31Don't worry
15:31Good luck
15:32Ah, just where I like to be
15:38Right on target
15:40Here are the Ming's robo-pilots
15:42Oh, yeah?
15:46Watch this, suckers
15:47Too bad, fellas, you blew it
15:50Leaving so soon?
15:56Look, it's taking effect
15:58Right
15:59Yeah, it's great
16:00It's great
16:01Why don't you take a closer look?
16:05What's he talking about?
16:09Sprouting roots?
16:11What went wrong?
16:12Wrong?
16:13Everything went right
16:14Your worldwide rainstorm helped me measure me
16:17It increased the formula's potency
16:20Give back a special thanks to Flash, Gordon
16:24Won't you?
16:25So that's why Ming's ice robots turned tail
16:28They wanted me to drop the ion particles
16:30I can't believe it
16:31We helped Ming take over the world
16:33I refuse to believe that
16:35There's got to be a way to stop him
16:36There just has to be
16:38Kashin
16:39These plants from your school experiment
16:41Weren't they the same size this morning?
16:43Yeah, but when I exposed one to the sound from this tuning fork
16:46It got smaller
16:47Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
16:50There's no time to lose
16:50We'll run the sound wave formula through Dynac X's emergency system
16:54Okay, Dynac X has calculated the exact pitch that might save the world
17:02But how do we get this sound to everyone on Earth?
17:05It's impossible
17:06Too bad we don't have a gigantic tuning fork
17:09We can use Flash's spaceships to form a huge tuning fork
17:13And then pass an electrical impulse through them
17:15It would cause a huge sound wave covering the entire planet
17:18Let's do it
17:19Everyone ready?
17:25Ready
17:25Ready
17:26Last chance to bail out
17:27I want to help, Jetta
17:29We're ready
17:29Octon, what is it?
17:46My lord
17:46Your enemies are attempting to save the Earth
17:49No
17:50This time they can't stop me
17:52Launch the battle fleet
17:54Good
17:57We're almost in position
17:59Brace for the electrical surge
18:00The impulse will travel from me to Rick
18:03Then over to...
18:04Uh-oh
18:04Don't look now
18:05But we got company
18:06What do you say we pull a welcome mat right out from under it?
18:10Turn us in
18:10This is better than a video game
18:16Way to go, LJ
18:21Warming warships
18:22I don't like the odds
18:23Rick, LJ
18:26Shut up
18:27Fly above means warships
18:29I'm going below
18:30Let's see how well you can take the heat jumps
18:36A warship
18:41Bridget, hold on
18:43Girls, you all right?
19:09Yes
19:11Next, Bridget
19:12Okay, Defenders
19:15Let's get on with it before Ming sends more of his toy soldiers up here
19:18I'm generating the electrical impulse now
19:21Mission accomplished
19:30Time to head for home
19:32Look
19:37Look, look
19:38It's working, I can't believe it
19:40Check out the White House
19:41I want to show you something, my dear
19:44Mother, you're all right, you're all right
19:51Bridget and I owe so much to all of you
19:54And I owe you an apology
19:57Don't worry, Jenna, I understand
19:59Well, I don't
20:00How come you risked your life for me up there?
20:02Because you're my friend
20:03Yes, we're friends
20:05Bridget and I will be returning home shortly to continue our experiments to solve world hunger
20:11Dr. Whitestad, I think I speak for all of us when I offer our assistance in your efforts
20:16Me too
20:17After all, I got an A-plus in my science project
20:20And I will, I got an A-plus in my science project
20:26And I can technique it
20:29And the last fall, I will be returning home
20:34Love, never, never, never
