01:11Octon!
01:13Yes, sire?
01:16Where is the Frost satellite I ordered you to prepare for me?
01:20for me it will be completed in a matter of hours sire that new weapon will blanket the earth with
01:28a veneer of frost and i shall enslave all the earthlings there is one problem sire problem
01:37what problem such large amounts of frost can only be controlled by a star blue crystal without one
01:45the satellite will not work then tell me you know how to get one of these crystals i do sire mandrake
01:54the magician presents a star blue crystal to central city museum this afternoon how considerate
02:02of mandrake dispatch the men of frost to the central city museum at once yes sire by this evening the
02:10star blue crystal will be in my hands
02:22thank you ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to present this rare star blue crystal
02:29from my own private collection to the central city museum
02:33oh it's so very beautiful boy i bet it's worth millions
02:42star blue crystals come from deep space perhaps i can illustrate with a modest illusion
02:52star blue crystals are almost as old as the universe itself wow this is better than science class
02:59they hurtle through space in clusters of three one cluster was captured by our planet's gravity millions
03:09of years ago but the heat of entering the earth's atmosphere separated the cluster into three parts
03:17and the central city museum now has the first one to be found
03:24not for long not for long magician not for long
03:38it's Trim quinzesucha
03:45the men of frost
03:47excuse me
03:55come on let's get look like they want to play hard
04:07We'll never catch him now.
04:21We just need to get his attention.
04:31Which one's real?
04:34Some people simply cannot handle choices.
04:37Rick, cover his eyes.
04:44Right.
04:45I'll take that, thank you.
04:49Those fools fail me again.
04:51I'm done.
04:52Mendrix spoke of two other crystals somewhere on Earth.
04:55Find them.
04:58I wonder why Ming wants the crystals.
05:01And Ming's men won't talk.
05:03The Veneer of Frost controls their minds.
05:06If we can free their minds from Ming's control, I think we will have the answer.
05:12I've been working on a new machine that melts away the frost.
05:15You're sure it's safe, son?
05:16It's completely safe, Dad.
05:18It'll just melt the Veneer of Frost.
05:20Then let's try it.
05:25Ready?
05:25They're ready, Rick.
05:30Here goes.
05:36That should do it.
05:39Open the door, Jedha.
05:40I'm free from Ming.
05:46Elgar.
05:50Elgar and I were good friends back in Africa.
05:53Before Ming captured me and turned me into one of his men of frost, can you forgive me, Jedha?
05:58Of course we can.
06:00Can't we get on with this?
06:01Perhaps the other gentleman would introduce himself.
06:03His name is Zikri, also known to Jedha and myself.
06:12Ming captured me at the same time.
06:15We'll help you all we can.
06:20Ak-Tam, my patience grows thin.
06:23Have you located the other crystals?
06:25I'm searching, sire.
06:27Dainak, we have to find those crystals before Ming does.
06:33Rick, I am scanning every inch of Earth.
06:43I've located the second crystal.
06:45Are you sure?
06:47The crystal's radiation pattern is very faint, but positive.
06:51I know that place.
06:53The hidden city of Xintao.
06:57Sire, Dainak X and the Defenders have discovered the location of the second star blue crystal.
07:12Ak-Tam, I must have that crystal.
07:15Then I will cover everyone on Earth with a veneer of frost.
07:19And the Earthlings will be mine to command.
07:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

09:16and this time there will be no failure where is the third crystal right beneath your feet
09:23sire do not just the crystal is buried deep beneath the ocean's floor the sea shielded its
09:31radiation pattern making it difficult to detect my lord ming this time the defenders of the earth
09:38cannot interfere and this is our battle simulation room we do all our training here
