00:55Defenders of the Earth!
00:57Defenders of the Earth!
01:03I see it. 45 degrees north.
01:08You mean to tell me you eyeballed that damaged satellite before the radar saw it?
01:14Ready to take a stroll in space?
01:16Just as soon as we suit up.
01:18Plastis spray encasement activated!
01:25Procedure complete!
01:27Communications and environmental control units attached and ready!
01:30We're now prepared for 60 minutes of extra vehicular activity.
01:35Blow cabin pressure and raise the lid!
01:37Flash!
01:38Flash!
01:39Wait!
01:40Get down!
01:41What?
01:42Six Ming ships incoming!
01:46Thanks, pal!
01:47Time for some fancy flying!
01:52What do you say we give those ice robots a real hot welcome!
01:57We're hit?
01:58We'll burn up on re-entry without that canopy!
02:01Keep moving!
02:02Keep moving!
02:03Free down without firing a shot!
02:04This is a piece of cake!
02:05I wouldn't be so sure of that, Flash.
02:06Uh-oh.
02:07More of Ming ships.
02:08Hang on to your maps, pal!
02:09No!
02:10No!
02:11No!
02:12No!
02:13No!
02:14No!
02:15No!
02:16No!
02:17No!

02:22No!
02:24No!
02:27No!
02:29No!
02:30No!
02:31No!
02:32No!
02:33No!
02:34No!
02:35Nice shooting!
02:37Thanks to your son Rick and his computer games.
02:40Got a target lined up for you.
02:42Why don't you fire?
02:44I did. The guns won't respond.
02:46Cabin controls are disabled.
02:49Oh, great. Now our guns won't work.
02:51Then we have no choice.
02:53Hey, what are you doing?
02:55Preparing to initiate manual weapon control.
03:05Phantom, old buddy, you're a man of few words, but lots of firepower.
03:12Before we head home, we have to get to the Defender's space station for repairs.
03:26The loss of a few robo-ships means nothing to me, Flash Gordon.
03:32Octon, will you?
03:36Yes, you will have less.
03:38Prepare the throne room for departure.
03:57I know you're trying to teach a strategy, Dad, but you haven't made a move for at least half an hour.
04:01LJ's right, Lothar.
04:03This is boring.
04:05There's no action in this game.
04:07Chess is more than just a game, my young friends.
04:09It teaches the fundamentals of generalship, tactical strategies.
04:12And patience.
04:14Hmm.
04:21The chessboard.
04:22Someone has made a very bad move.
04:25Richard, how did you manage to do that?
04:28With a new device I'm testing.
04:30I call it the Micronizer.
04:32That was great, Rick.
04:33It's capable of shrinking objects to infinitesimal sizes.
04:37My compliments, Rick.
04:38How long does the effect last?
04:41Only one hour.
04:42Then the object returns to normal size.
04:44No problem, Rick.
04:45It'll take at least that long for my dad to figure out his next move.
04:49Attention.
04:50Stand by for an incoming message.
04:52Lothar, good friend.
04:53I called to invite you and your group to join me in Paris for this year's international chess tournament.
05:01We would be delighted, Malachek.
05:04Expect us there tomorrow.
05:05One more thing, Lothar.
05:07Please bring Dynak X with you.
05:11It would make for a good demonstration against our own chess-playing computer.
05:16I see no problem there, Malachek.
05:18I will look forward to seeing all of you.
05:24I did as you commanded.
05:37I'm done.
05:49Energize the electronic maggot.
06:02Ah!
06:03Electronic maggot energized, Sam.
06:06The exterior power plant is now operating.
06:09Good.
06:10As soon as the defenders hook up Dynak X to my special chess-playing computer,
06:16I will implant the maggot in its circuits.
06:19There it will unlock the top secret access codes to the Earth's weapon systems.
06:25Then I will bring this world to its knees.
06:36The tournament looks well attended.
06:39But where's your friend Malachek?
06:41More important, where's his great chess-playing computer?
06:44Straight ahead.
06:45It hasn't got a chance against Dynak X.
06:48First you gotta figure out how to hook it up.
06:50LJ, see if you can find Malachek in the executive offices.
06:53I don't know chess tournaments had so much to offer.
07:03Now if I make the right moves...
07:06Hi girls, can you help me...
07:08Uh, je ne comprends pas, monsieur.
07:11Checkmate.
07:13Sounds like somebody's in trouble.
07:15What's going on?
07:28Don't let them link up Dynak X to the main computer.
07:36One more cable to attach to Dynak X's monitor.
07:39Rick, stop!
07:41Don't link up Dynak!
07:42LJ, what is it?
07:44Rick, stop!
07:47Something's inside of me.
07:49Destroying my circuits.
07:51Rick, help me.
07:53Rick.
07:54Rick.
07:55Rick.
07:56Rick.
08:00Speak to me, Dynak X.
08:01I can't get through to her.
08:03Fools.
08:04I now control Dynak.
08:07Dynak, respond.
08:09Dynak!
08:10She's gone, LJ.
08:14What is it, Phantom, old buddy?
08:15I thought I'd call monitor and check in.
08:17How much longer before repairs are completed?
08:19A few more hours and I think she'll be better than new.
08:22Dynak.
08:23Dynak.
08:24Dynak.
08:25Dynak.
08:26Dynak.
08:27Dynak.
08:28Dynak.
08:29Dynak.
08:30Dynak.
08:31Dynak.
08:32Dynak.
08:33Dynak.
08:34Dynak.
08:35Dynak.
08:36Dynak.
08:37Dynak.
08:38Dynak.
08:39Dynak.
08:40Dynak.
08:43Dynak.
08:44Dad!
08:45Thank heavens, Ming has taken over Dynak.
08:46What?
08:47But how?
08:48Dynak.
08:49Shin and I are trapped here.
08:50Dynak.
08:51Dynak.
08:52Dynak.
08:53Dynak.
08:55Dynak.
08:56Dynak.
08:57Dynak.
08:59Dynak.
09:00Dynak.
09:01Dynak.
09:02No!
09:07Eat all you want, my little pet.
09:10Soon you will reach the plans for activating the Earth's weapon arsenals.
09:15Then I will control more than Dynaq X.
09:19I will control the Earth.
09:21Your eminence, the defenders have left the chess tournament and are returning to Monadour and Dynaq X.
09:28Well, perhaps I should arrange a little welcome home party, or should I say, a surprise party.
09:37Yes, master.
09:44The outer security doors are locked. They won't respond to the override signal.
09:48I've got a signal of my own I'd like to try.
09:53Let me try, Dad!
09:55Ah!
09:58That seems to be a waste of time, and we have precious little time to waste.
10:10Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
10:14Mandrake! Lothar! Ming has armed Dynaq's defense systems against you!
10:25And you had to design them so efficiently.
10:27Yeah.
10:39Grab on!
10:40We're running out of places to stand!
10:46Whoops!
10:47The rope is breaking!
10:55We better hurry!
11:04Mandrake!
11:05You pulled me up none too soon.
11:16Sometimes strength works better than magic.
11:19I have no illusions about that, good friend.
11:24Dynaq is programmed not to let anyone near her. Ming has her totally under his control.
11:28Perhaps I can make mental contact.
11:35Help me.
11:37Mandrake!
11:39Help!
11:40It's Ming!
11:41There's nothing I can...
11:43What is it?
11:45What did you see?
11:48Dynaq.
11:50But not like I've ever seen her before.
11:52It was horrible.
11:54She's powerless against a hideous, worm-like creature.
11:58What does Ming want with Dynaq X?
12:01He knows he can control us through her.
12:04It may be more than that.
12:06The information stored in Dynaq is endless.
12:08If only I could get inside her.
12:10I know I could help.
12:12Rick! The Micronizer!
12:13Right! That's how I can stop that creature!
12:16Count me in!
12:17Me too!
12:18Remember, if you don't return within one hour, you'll be crushed as you regain your normal size.
12:32It's awesome!
12:34It's beautiful!
12:36How are we ever gonna find that creature in the middle of all this?
12:39If Ming is behind this, we won't have to find it.
12:41We'll have to find it.
12:42It will find us.
12:48The young fools.
12:50The computer's own defenses will destroy them before they even see the maggot.
12:55What is it, Kisa?
12:56What are those?
12:57They're Dynaq's internal monitoring systems.
12:58Sorry, guys.
12:59But I'm gonna have to deactivate you.
13:00With Ming behind this, just about anything could happen.
13:01What could happen?
13:02What could happen?
13:03A cool thing.
13:04What could happen?
13:05I know!
13:06He knows!
13:07I know!
13:08Who knows!
13:09Who knows?!
13:10They're Dynaq's internal monitoring systems.
13:11Sorry, guys.
13:12But I'm gonna have to deactivate you.
13:13With Ming behind this, just about anything could happen.
13:19What could happen?
13:33It's a maze of short circuits.
13:35The creature must have caused this.
13:37If I remember correctly, the circuit breakers are over there.
13:41But we can't reach them.
13:42Kesa, listen to me.
13:44Get to the switches, Kesa.
13:47Get to the switches and turn them off.
13:50Go, Kesa.
14:02Good work, Kesa.
14:04Good girl.
14:05You did it.
14:05Oh, what a good girl.
14:07There you go.
14:08Yeah, right.
14:09We seem to be near Dynak's center.
14:17And according to my detector, the electronic maggot is too.
14:21This place is some crazy hall of mirrors.
14:25Now there's a good looking fellow if I do say so myself.
14:28Huh?
14:29Run for it!
14:30The maggot is after us!
14:43Oh, no!
14:44Look!
14:45Talk about dead ends.
14:47This could be ours.
14:49Unless...
14:50Whatever you've got in mind, make it fast.
14:51Give me room, guys!
14:57Follow me!
15:06It's gonna jump!
15:08It'll never make it!
15:09Uh-oh!
15:11Never say never!
15:12Rick!
15:21On your feet, Rick!
15:23Get up and run!
15:30Kesa!
15:31Chetta!
15:32No!
15:33We've gotta move.
15:34Get going.
15:35Kesa'll be able to take care of herself.
15:36Move!
15:41Move!
15:45Rick, are you okay?
15:47Yeah, I'm okay!
15:49Rick?
15:54Help me.
15:56Help me, Rick.
15:58You can release me.
16:01Mom?
16:03How can I free you?
16:05There!
16:07The crystal within the room center.
16:10Smash it, and you will free me.
16:14Mandrake is not the only one who can create illusions.
16:19Obey your mother.
16:20Smash the crystal.
16:21And the secret of the Earth's weapon systems will be mine.
16:31No, Rick!
16:32Don't do it!
16:33Mandrake, what's wrong?
16:34Ming is using Rick's memories of his mother's life essence to trick him.
16:39I must stop him.
16:44No, Rick!
16:46This is a trick of Ming's.
16:48Believe me, do not hesitate.
16:50You have only minutes before you return to normal size.
16:54We have no time left.
16:56If we had only stopped that creature, we could have saved Dynak.
16:59I know how you feel.
17:05Run for the exit!
17:14Ming has gained access to some top secret info.
17:17I'm through running.
17:19Kisa!
17:25Kisa!
17:26Mature!
17:26Mature!
17:37Look!
17:38Thank you for freeing me.
17:42You must hurry.
17:43We've located the power source.
17:59Well done.
18:00My congratulations to all of you.
18:02That is correct.
18:05The power source is coming from the coordinates indicated.
18:09Origin of power source located.
18:10We're proceeding there immediately.
18:12Let's hope you're fast enough or Dynak's finished.
18:16And so are we.
18:18Our only hope is that Flash and the Phantom will be able to stop him.
18:21There's the indicated target.
18:23A large volcanic atoll.
18:25And Ming's power station is right there.
18:34I've won.
18:36The defenders may have regained control of Dynak, but the Earth's military weapons are mine.
18:43No one can stop me now.
18:46Master, Flash Gordon and the Phantom are approaching in a spacecraft.
18:51Launch the roboships.
18:52The defenders of the Earth must be stopped.
18:56Heads up, Flash.
18:58Looks like Ming is sending up a reception committee.
19:16Head retro jets.
19:17Time to try out our new device.
19:24Sword ship activated.
19:28Yahoo!
19:31Now to find out if this ship is worth the time we put in designing it.
19:37Raise the defense shields.
19:39We will shatter their sword ship.
19:41It will be the end of Flash Gordon and the Phantom.
19:45What if this thing doesn't work?
19:49There won't be enough left to matter.
19:51Hold on!
19:57It can't be.
19:59My plan, my station, all ruined.
20:03Atom, prepare my throne room to depart immediately.
20:08Success!
20:09The codes are destroyed.
20:11And we've stopped Ming.
20:13For now.
20:14How's Dynak, son?
20:15Let her tell you herself, Dad.
20:17I'm fine, Flash.
20:18Thanks to Rick and all of you.
20:21We'll never let anything happen to you again, Dynak.
20:23That goes double for me, Flash.
20:26We're making our last move.
20:28We're coming home.
