00:52Defenders of the Earth!
00:54Enders!
00:55Defenders of the Earth!
00:57Defenders of the Earth!
01:01I am approaching the area now!
01:19I have never seen anything like it!
01:31What is it? What are you seeing?
01:35The light! The light!
01:39What light? Come in!
01:43It's gone! Vanished into thin air!
01:49So, what kind of shape is the world in this morning?
01:55Well, for one thing, it's a bit smaller than it used to be.
01:58Come again, Lothar?
02:00While you were catching up on your beauty rest, Flash, an entire piece of Morocco has disappeared.
02:05What? You're putting me on!
02:08Lothar's right. About 200 square miles, all told.
02:12Now that's a neat trick. How'd you do it, Mandrake?
02:16That's a tad ambitious Flash, even for a master magician like me.
02:21Whatever the explanation, it seems every plane that enters that region has vanished.
02:27Sounds like the Bermuda Triangle. Only this one is landlocked.
02:31What do you say we head out there and investigate this strange phenomenon ourselves?
02:35It's an interesting way to start the day, Mandrake. Let's go for it.
02:39Can we come too?
02:40Where are we going?
02:41Morocco. For breakfast.
02:43All you kids, get ready.
02:45All but one.
02:46Everybody's going to Morocco and I have to do a book report?
02:50If you had done your book report on the weekend, as you should have, Kashin, you would be more than welcome to come along.
02:56But...
02:57But school always comes first, Kashin.
03:00Okay.
03:02You can choose from any of the books in my library.
03:05Any of them?
03:06Any of them except my sorcery books.
03:10Oh, right. Have a good time. See you when you get back.
03:14Very good. Now get to...
03:18Work.
03:24These books of Mandrakes are too boring, Zuffy.
03:27This one's in Latin.
03:29Morocco, I will do.
03:31Got to be something exciting in here that I can do a book report on.
03:38No. Maybe this one.
03:41Wow. This one's pretty.
03:43Huh?
03:45This one's not much of a book at all.
03:47Just blank pages.
03:55We are approaching the area where the planes have disappeared, Flash.
03:58We should be able to eyeball at any moment.
04:01If...
04:02What in the world?
04:03Wow.
04:06What's your scientific explanation for that, Rick?
04:13Our scanners can't penetrate whatever it is.
04:22Dynak, give me a reading on this dome of light.
04:25Energy field composed of elements unknown.
04:28Somehow, we're going to have to get inside that dome to find out what it is.
04:34I will join you, Phantom.
04:39Here goes.
04:43What's happening?
04:45Mandrake!
04:46Eljay!
04:47Can you see us?
04:48Rothar.
04:49They can't see or hear us.
04:51To them, we are invisible.
04:54Come on!
04:55We could see you, but you couldn't see us.
05:01Hmm.
05:02Like a one-way mirror.
05:04Mandrake, you're the expert on illusions.
05:06What gives?
05:07Sorry, Flash.
05:08This one's a complete mystery to me.
05:12Once we're past that wall, we'll be out of radio contact.
05:16What if something comes up?
05:17What if we need Dynak X?
05:19I will stay outside and maintain contact with you telepathically.
05:24It's worth a shot.
05:25Lothar, you stay with Mandrake.
05:32Look, Flash.
05:33The eye socket is empty.
05:34Someone has chipped the stone, releasing the jewel.
05:38Mandrake, can you hear me?
05:40Yes, I hear you, Flash.
05:41There's some kind of very old primitive wall here.
05:45Concentrate.
05:46Mandrake may be able to pick up the image.
05:49Good, Flash.
05:50I can see it.
05:51I can't quite make out the inscription beneath the dragon.
05:55Try to find a way inside.
05:59Oh, it's tough.
06:00How am I ever going to get that book report done?
06:08Huh?
06:11It's impossible.
06:12Those pages were blank a second ago.
06:15I wonder if Dynak X would know anything about this book.
06:21If my dad were here, we could open this thing in a chiffy.
06:25Keep pulling.
06:26It's starting to give.
06:28Yes, something else is giving too.
06:33Everybody get back.
06:38Mandrake.
06:39I hear you, Flash.
06:40Contacting Dynak X now.
06:41Dynak, the others are caught in an avalanche at an ancient wall.
06:45It's booby trapped.
06:46Describe the wall, Mandrake.
06:49The wall is quite primitive.
06:50Made of stone.
06:51Almost Assyrian looking.
06:53But the carved dragons on it appear to be pre-dynastic Chinese.
06:57And the main door itself is wood.
06:59What the?
07:00Flash.
07:01Dynak's checking her data mass.
07:02She may find a way to stop the booby trap mechanism.
07:03Well, she'd better hurry.
07:04Because in another few seconds, we're going to be pancakes.
07:06Come on, Dynak.
07:07To safely enter the invisible city.
07:08Still the voice of the dragon.
07:09A closing his mouth.
07:10Mandrake, I have no data on any such civilization.
07:11I do.
07:12Tell them to shut the dragon's mouth.
07:13Kashi, how did you get the dragon?
07:14I did.
07:15I did.
07:16I did.
07:17I did.
07:18I did.
07:19I did.
07:20I did.
07:21I did.
07:22I did.
07:23I did.
07:24I did.
07:25I did.
07:26I did.
07:27I did.
07:28I did.
07:29I did.
07:30I did.
07:31I did.
07:32I did.
07:33I did.
07:34I did.
07:35I did.
07:36Kishin, how?
07:37Just tell them to do it.
07:39Flash.
07:40Close the mouth of the dragon.
07:43Alley-oop!
07:54Nice going, Dynak.
07:56It wasn't Dynak.
07:57It was Kishin.
07:58And he says you'll be able to get through the wall now.
08:01Oh, come on.
08:02How would Kishin possibly know that...
08:06Bright kid, that Kishin?
08:09It's some kind of an ancient shrine.
08:13Uh-oh!
08:14Here we go again!
08:16The stone is loose.
08:20High tech enough for you, LJ.
08:25Dynak, Kishin, they have found a control panel.
08:29Maybe there's some more in here about that play stuff.
08:32Come on, control panel.
08:36Where are you?
08:37Please appear!
08:38There's the control panel Mandrake was talking about.
08:42I see it!
08:43I see it!
08:44Crystal and gold are the keys to the city.
08:47Touch the golden coins and reveal the invisible city to the world.
08:52Mandrake!
08:53Tell them to press all the gold buttons on that panel!
08:58Kishin says to press all the gold buttons.
09:01I wonder where he's getting his information.
09:04Flash, the jamming field is gone.
09:08Now you can communicate directly with Dynak.
09:11Wow, that's awesome!
09:16None of us have even heard of this place, Kishin.
09:19How is it that you know all about it?
09:21Well, uh, I learned about it in school.
09:25Tell me more.
09:27Uh, it, uh, it was recently discovered.
09:30Kishin, we will have to continue this later.
09:33That stone's freshly chipped.
09:36The dragon's eye must have contained something of value.
09:39Lothar, did you notice all the shoeless footprints?
09:42Native diggers have been here.
09:44Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Lothar?
09:47Abdul Faisal!
09:49The most notorious jewel thief in Morocco.
09:52He may be able to tell us more about this place.
09:54Come on, to Marrakesh!
10:05Whoever built that wall did not build this.
10:08Power generators!
10:09Looks like they've been running for thousands of years!
10:13Almost as if they were waiting for something, or someone.
10:20We have intruded upon some kind of grave site.
10:24You're right, Phantom.
10:25Look, they've been broken into.
10:27They've been broken into.
10:30Give us more information about this place, Dinak.
10:33The information and instructions you have received have come from Kishin.
10:37Come on, come on, show me something!
10:40Uh-oh!
10:42Enter not the tomb of the ancients, or face the wrath of the guardian of the graves!
10:48If I recall correctly, this is where Abdul Faisal likes to take his morning coffee.
10:55Right on schedule.
10:57There he is now.
10:58Mandrake, your illusions will be the death of me yet!
11:11What were you doing in the Atlas Mountains this morning, Abdul?
11:15It's true.
11:16And why are you here now?
11:18Because I found the invisible city of the Wartesh.
11:21The Wartesh?
11:23It is said that he who enters the invisible city will awaken the sleeping god.
11:29And when the sleeping god wakes, he will destroy all intruders.
11:36Then take his city home.
11:39And you really believe all that?
11:41The city is there!
11:42The sleeping god must be there too!
11:45I left as fast as I could!
11:47Pausing only to take something from the dragon's eye.
11:50Just one gem!
11:52I must pay for my digger's time!
11:55You'd be wiser to give it to me, Abdul, so I can put it back.
11:58No!
11:59It's mine!
12:00And I intend to keep it!
12:02The hand is quicker than the eye, Faisal.
12:06A thousand curses on you!
12:08We must warn the others before they wake the sleeping god.
12:25Is it just me or...
12:27Oh, is anyone else getting tired?
12:29Now that you mention it, I could use a nap.
12:34Oh, we're all about to fall asleep here.
12:37Don't worry, Flash!
12:39If you feel sleep overtaking you, then you are near the end of your journey.
12:43What journey?
12:45Remove the crystals asleep and let your travels be completed.
12:50Okay, Flash!
12:56Remove the blue crystal!
12:59Kushin was right!
13:01I feel better already.
13:03But when you remove the crystal, the sleeping god will waken, and the Invisible City's days on Earth will be ended!
13:09Flash! Don't remove the crystal! You gotta get out of there!
13:13It's a little late for that, Kushin. You'd better tell us how to deal with this one. Fast!
13:18Come on! Come on! Tell me what to do!
13:21The book! It's gone blank again!
13:24After ages of captivity in the waking sleep, I am free!
13:34It's not telling us anymore, Saf! What are we going to do?
13:37Wait! It's Mandrake's book! Maybe he can get it working again!
13:42They're trapped in the city with the sleeping god. Can you tell them what to do, Kushin?
13:47Uh, uh, I don't know!
13:49Mandrake, what's an... enigma?
13:52An enigma is a mystery, something that baffles all human understanding, just like this city is to us.
13:58You all want us, the one who trapped us here. All want us, run through the straw!
14:08When I say go, everybody split up and run for it!
14:12What are you waiting for? Go! Thanks!
14:20Mandrake said an enigma is a mystery, like the city itself. Maybe the city isn't really a city either.
14:27I've got it! Dynak, can you take control of one of the ships and fly me to that city?
14:33Your request is unclear. You are aware of my abilities.
14:37Please, Dynak! I've got to get to them! I know how we can save them!
14:42Very well, Kushin. Request granted.
14:46Prepare for take-off.
14:49LJ, those aren't my feet, you hear?
14:54LJ, those aren't my feet, you hear?
14:56LJ, those aren't my feet, you hear?
14:57LJ, those aren't my feet, you hear?
14:59Just keep running.
15:01Dynak!
15:07My little servants are gone!
15:13My friends, my family, you'll pay for their destruction!
15:21Uh-oh. We'd better get out of here.
15:31I fear we may already be too late, Lothar.
15:34One of the Defender Eagle fighters.
15:44Kashin! Kashin, what are you doing here?
15:46I'm sorry, Madrake, but I think I know what's really going on here, and I didn't get it from that book.
15:53It's Enigma! I now know how to help Flash escape from that creature!
15:57Come, we've no time to waste. We've got to find them!
16:01Do you know what torture the waking sleep is?
16:05Your body is frozen in time, but your mind still sees and hears and thinks.
16:13It never stops.
16:15You've got to listen to us. We didn't do anything to you.
16:20Our humans are all death.
16:23When you stole the control control, you grabbed me here forever and destroyed my loyal servants.
16:33Guardian, those skeletons are centuries old. How could we have done that?
16:38You'll race! Sabotage my mission! And for that, you must be!
16:46I thought the outlaw was boiling in oil. Tell him that!
16:50Once I have finished with you, all of your kind will follow!
16:57His grief blinds into logic. I must stop him now!
17:02By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten times!
17:10No! Don't hurt the guardian!
17:21Oh, Bottice! You've come to destroy the guardian!
17:27We've come to help you!
17:29You're alive!
17:31Please! Believe me! We've come to help you get home!
17:37I cannot return home without the control, Crystal!
17:41We are here to return what the Wartesh stole from you.
17:45One last request. Release our friends and all those who you have kept prisoner here in suspension and let us leave before you do.
17:54Let us do it! Let us do it! Let us do it!
18:24I don't get it.
18:33How'd the crystal wind up in the eye of that dragon?
18:37The Vortesh were one of Earth's earliest primitive cultures.
18:41They must have entered and taken the control crystal.
18:44And used it as part of the shrine they built to honor the city that became known as the Invisible City.
18:54Without the crystal, the creature inside could no longer control anything.
18:59The sleep chambers we mistook for graves must have frozen and cracked.
19:03He couldn't even order the machinery to release him from his waking sleep.
19:06But what about the jamming field?
19:08A very sophisticated cloaking device, now known to Dynak and Terry.
19:13Abdul Faisal must have unknowingly triggered the jamming force field when he stole the controlled crystal.
19:24That poor creature, trapped for thousands of years in an invisible city.
19:32Yes, but of course it wasn't a real city at all, was it?
19:37I hope this experience has taught you something, Kishin.
19:40It has, but I still have a book report to do.
19:43Hey, maybe I could do it about that Enigma book.
19:48I think not, Kishin.
19:51You've got to admit, it'd be an interesting report.
19:54That it would. That it would.
19:57Come on, tell me the real secret of the book, Mandrake.
20:01I believe you and the Enigma book have solved enough mysteries for one day, Kishin.
20:06I'll find out your secret sooner or later, book.
20:10Just you wait.
20:11一定atter of the book.
20:29You.
20:30You.
20:30You.
20:31You.
20:31You.
20:32You.
20:32You.
20:33You.
20:33You.
20:34You.
