01:05Rick, what's happening?
01:25Alien ship approaching Monitor.
01:27Fast!
01:29Why don't we blast them?
01:31There are no signs of hostility, L.J.
01:33Dynak, give me a reading.
01:36The ship is a mean fighter.
01:38Trajectory indicates engine malfunction.
01:44Identify yourself.
01:46Engines out of commission.
01:48Coming into land.
01:50This could be a trick, Dad.
01:51I say we should blast them.
01:53Hold it.
01:54They're obviously in trouble.
01:55No.
02:02Rick, you and L.J. cover me.
02:05I'm going with you, Flash.
02:06Remember, it is a main ship.
02:08Expect the unexpected.
02:15Get ready.
02:18The hatch.
02:19It's opening.
02:20Don't shoot.
02:24Flash, Gordon.
02:27Castra, is that you?
02:31Father, isn't Castra Ming's youngest daughter?
02:34Yes, Jenna.
02:37I never expected to see you here.
02:40What happened?
02:41My father sent his robo-ships to shoot me down.
02:45He discovered I was on my way to warn you.
02:47Warn me about what?
02:51I'm not sure, but...
02:58I intercepted his partial transmission from Ming to Dr. Janus.
03:02An Earth minion of his.
03:07Janus.
03:09Mind neutralizer.
03:12In grand children.
03:14It's not much to go on.
03:16But it does bear investigation.
03:18Rick, prepare the tarry.
03:19And son, check Castra's ship for damages.
03:22You've done a brave thing by coming here, Castra.
03:25When did you and Castra meet, Flash?
03:27Castra's husband, Prince Tebrock, and I go way back.
03:30We all fought side by side when the prince was leader of the rebellion against Ming.
03:35He saved my life.
03:36I owe you both a great deal.
03:39Any friend of Flash's is a friend of ours.
03:41Welcome, Castra.
03:42Yes.
03:43Welcome, Castra.
03:44Thank you all.
03:45I feel welcome.
03:46There is little time, Flash.
03:54Castra's right.
03:55Rick, LJ, Jetta, Kashin, keep an eye on things here.
03:58Don't worry, Flash.
03:59Zuff and I'll take care of things.
04:01Right, Zuff?
04:01We'll send you a postcard from Grand Junction.
04:06Grand Junction, here we come.
04:08Almighty Ming, it is finished.
04:15The Mind Neutralizer will reduce all Earthlings to an army of zombies.
04:21Good, Jetta.
04:23When I provoke the defenders to attack, they will not face a fey legs of ice robots, but an army of Earthlings.
04:32And those fools will not fire on their own kind.
04:35When will we test this new creation?
04:38I will demonstrate tonight at City Hall.
04:40Excellent.
04:42Excellent.
04:43If all goes as promised, I will control a city filled with mindless, obedient zombies.
04:50And now, Your Honor, a demonstration of my revolutionary invention.
04:59This compact portable generator is capable of powering an entire city.
05:08All systems are flight ready.
05:11Thanks, Dynak.
05:12Just as I thought, all systems were functioning properly.
05:16There was no danger.
05:18Did you hear that?
05:19Castra's ship wasn't damaged after all.
05:22What's she up to?
05:23Pretending to be disabled was the only way she could approach Monitor without being fired on.
05:27I think it was very clever of her, Rick.
05:30Too clever, Jetta.
05:31Too clever.
05:45That's strange.
05:46The lights in that section of the city suddenly went dim.
05:50We're going down.
05:59These fellows look a little out to lunch.
06:10Come on.
06:15Evening, Your Honor.
06:17Peaceful little place you have here.
06:19There is something very unnatural about all of this.
06:24Flash.
06:24Flash.
06:24These people are not acting under their own will.
06:32Flash.
06:33You have done well, my daughter.
06:36It was a trick.
06:37Why, Castra?
06:39You of all people, Flash, dare to ask?
06:42After you murdered my husband?
06:44But, Castra, you must believe...
06:46I asked for your help, but you denied it.
06:49The oath you swore to support each other meant nothing to you.
06:53Prince paid with his life.
06:58And you will pay with yours.
07:01The mind neutralizer will give me control over these defenders.
07:12Then, Castra, you may have your revenge on flesh, Gordon.
07:17Castra, what proof do you have of Prince Tebrok's death?
07:20My father's word.
07:22It's all a trick of Ming.
07:24I don't know why, but Ming wants you to believe that the prince is dead and that I killed him.
07:29If it's proof you want, Flash, proof you shall have.
07:35Ming removed this from around Tebrok's neck.
07:38That amulet proves that Prince Tebrok is alive.
07:41What do you mean?
07:44These identical amulets are cut from the same special crystal.
07:48Legend has it, when one or the other dies, both stones will shatter, breaking the bond.
07:55Both amulets are whole.
07:57Which means Prince Tebrok is alive.
07:59How do I know this isn't just another trick of yours?
08:04Shall I use the mind neutralizer on them now, excellency?
08:09No. Hold them till I arrive.
08:12I would enjoy watching them turned into mindless slaves.
08:17Castra, you must believe me!
08:21A bit-trail like Flash Gordon's calls for a fitting revenge.
08:26And now, Castra, to get to the rest of the defenders.
08:30But, father...
08:31Do as I say, daughter.
08:34Emergency!
08:35Emergency!
08:37Calling monitor!
08:39Ming captured us, but I managed to get away.
08:44According to voice analysis, Castra was not telling the truth.
08:48All right.
08:50LJ, get Jet, and Kashin.
08:53Grand Junction, here we come.
08:55Let's hope they buy it.
09:07This is all your fault.
09:09Don't shove me, you muscle-bound jerk.
09:13How dare you speak to Lothar that way?
09:15Bring it up in there.
09:16Move it!
09:30Castra, Ming lied.
09:32You must believe me!
09:33Guard!
09:37Flash, all clear.
09:46They're gone!
10:00Lothar, raise Dynak.
10:01I want a full readout on Prince Tebrok.
10:07Dynak! Come in, Dynak!
10:09I will prove to you, Castra.
10:10This was all a plot of Ming's.
10:12Prince Tebrok is being held prisoner on Mongo.
10:16He's alive!
10:19Oh, Flash, forgive me.
10:22How could I ever have doubted you?
10:24Your father is a malicious man to use his own daughter to get at me.
10:29I will make him pay dearly for this.
10:40Why do I feel like something is about to happen?
10:42How about a little earlier warning next time, Jenna?
10:50Ming's flagship!
10:52Wow!
10:52We don't have a chance against that monster.
10:55Well, we're not sticking around to find out.
10:57Hang on!
10:57Nothing will help you now, young defenders!
11:21At least one of us escaped.
11:27At least one of us escaped.
11:27This completes the power grid.
11:48Now, the power of the entire city can be harnessed
11:52to run the Ming neutralizer at the stadium.
11:55My lord Ming, what should be done with these defenders?
12:18Send them to the stadium with the rest of the Earthlings.
12:22Where's Jedha?
12:27She's not with them.
12:28I'm here, father.
12:30I managed to escape.
12:33They have the whole city's power wired into one power grid at the stadium.
12:37Ming must be planning to neutralize the unsuspecting citizenry
12:40he's gathering at the stadium.
12:41Tonight, I will transform thousands into mindless slaves.
12:55And once the power grid is completed,
12:58you will have millions more.
13:01Begin.
13:01Hail Ming, conqueror of Earth!
13:17Hail Ming, conqueror of Earth!
13:22Hail Ming, conqueror of Earth!
13:26Blood from Mongol, sire.
13:38What is it, Geralt X?
13:40They wish to know what you want done with Prince Tebrot.
13:44Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
13:46The pawn has served his purpose.
13:49Destroy him and feed him to the beast, Coranda.
13:54Da Da
14:07Stop defenders stop defenders stop defenders
14:14By the law the ghost to walks calls forth the power of ten Tigers
14:24We must find Rick, LJ and Kashin
14:31Stop defenders
14:39Rick, LJ and Kashin
14:41Sleep, go to sleep
14:45We must rescue Tebrock
14:59Flash, we must rescue Tebrock
15:01I know exactly where he's being held prisoner
15:03He's in great danger
15:05Danger
15:07I know exactly how they stay
15:09I know exactly how he can.
15:13It's my real life
15:15Jai Frey
15:16I know exactly what he said
15:18I can't escape
15:19A little bit tomorrow
15:21He was the best
15:24I can't escape
15:25I can't do that
15:27I'm sorry
15:28You got me
15:30I'm sorry
15:31I'm sorry
15:32I'm sorry
15:33Ming, give the Phantom the plans for the Mind Neutralizer.
15:38I do as you ask, but he is a defender, sire.
15:51Sire is not necessary.
15:54A simple sir will do.
15:57And you will not remember what happened here.
16:03There are traps ahead. Let me lead. Be careful.
16:25Oh, thanks, Kastra. What was that? A hologram?
16:29Yes. We must proceed cautiously.
16:33Have you completed programming the laser welder, Dynak?
16:47Yes. Now reversing the polarity.
16:50Place the glass tube to Rick's temple.
16:52Oh, Mandrake.
17:06Easy, Rick.
17:07You're quite safe now.
17:09LJ, you're next.
17:10Deluxe, what is the status of the power grid?
17:19The relay station on Mount Stanley will be one billion volts directly to the Mind Neutralizer on your ship.
17:26I will bathe the Earth in the beam of the Neutralizer.
17:30The Earth will be mine at last.
17:34Tebrok, we've come to get you out. Hurry.
17:45I'll distract the Kron-Dor. Get moving.
17:51Over here, Buzzface.
17:53Flash, once again, you've saved my life.
18:08You have Kastra to thank as well.
18:12Establishing orbit over Earth.
18:14Begin the Mind Neutralization.
18:17We must reverse the polarity of the energy going to Ming's ship, just as we did with Rick, LJ, and Kashin.
18:36Then Ming will be curing all the people he's already neutralized.
18:40Very good, Mandrake.
18:42There is the junction box.
19:07Stop, defenders.
19:09Stop, Ming.
19:11Stop, Ming.
19:13Stop, Ming.
19:16Stop, Ming.
19:19Stop, Ming.
19:21What went wrong?
19:24Janice, it is all your fault.
19:26But, Excellency, I don't understand.
19:29It wasn't my fault.
19:31It wasn't my fault.
19:32It wasn't my fault.
19:41Thank you again, Flash.
19:50Thank you again, Flash.
19:59Brothers.
20:01Forever.
20:01Forever.
