01:16Attention, computer control is disengaged.
01:38Return control of ship to computer.
01:43Not so fast.
01:46Uh-oh.
02:03Damage minimal.
02:04So, you guys want to play rough, huh?
02:09Now, let's see how good a pilot that mechanical errand boy really is.
02:13Warning, you are entering the Earth's atmosphere too quickly.
02:18This ship will burn up in precisely one minute.
02:22Give me a break!
02:23Come on!
02:29Come on!
02:31Now!
02:35Jedha!
02:36Jedha!
02:37Is Jedha in there?
02:38Kishin, did it ever occur to you that I was in a very dangerous flight simulation with Ming's robo-ships?
02:46Yes, Flash.
02:46Do you know where Jedha is?
02:48I can't find her anywhere.
02:50Sure, Kishin.
02:51Her father took her to Skull Cave to give her a special present.
02:54But we were going to take Jedha to that new amusement park for her birthday.
02:58Yeah.
02:59What are we going to do now?
03:00Don't worry, guys.
03:01The Phantom should have her back in time.
03:02Time is running out.
03:05My hold on the bridge between dimensions is weakening.
03:12Soon, either the quarter will collapse or the fabric between universes will begin to tear,
03:20annihilating all of existence.
03:24You must help me.
03:26You have squandered your potential on a foolish desire for power.
03:36We will not help you.
03:39But you must.
03:41Without the necklace of Oros, I cannot rule.
03:45You promised me.
03:47You promised.
03:47This mortal can help you.
03:56She is a phantom god.
04:00She can obtain the necklace from its sanctuary.
04:05She is the key.
04:09I will find this skirtling and have the power that is rightfully mine.
04:17You have come of age, my daughter.
04:23It is time for you to enter the family treasure room
04:26and choose from the collected wealth of 25 generations of phantoms.
04:33Choose well, Jedha.
04:36I have never seen such splendor.
04:40Everything is so very beautiful.
04:44Choose the necklace of Oros.
04:47Pick up the necklace of Oros.
04:52I want this, father.
04:54The necklace of Oros?
04:56Yes, father.
04:58The necklace of Oros.
04:59What happened?
05:09I had the strangest feeling.
05:11Father, tell me about this necklace.
05:13The necklace of Oros was placed in this cave more than 500 years ago by the very first phantom.
05:21Its origin is unknown.
05:22The necklace has blocked my mind probe.
05:26I must find another way to reach the girl.
05:31Rabbitan, I bear the key you presented to Emperor Ming.
05:48Open in the name of the Emperor.
05:50Excellent, excellent.
06:04Garax's laser eyes are transmitting the scene perfectly.
06:08Rabbitan, you claim to possess the secret of anti-gravity.
06:23You are ordered by his supreme majesty, Emperor Ming the Merciless, to demonstrate this anti-gravity power.
06:31Observe, anti-gravity.
06:36The most powerful weapon ever conceived in your universe.
06:43I must have it.
06:48With the secret of anti-gravity, I can wipe the face of the earth clean.
06:59Graniton, the secret of anti-gravity must be mine.
07:04Name your price.
07:08So, Ming, you wish to bargain.
07:12Emperor Ming bargains with no one.
07:16Name your price, Graniton.
07:18The price for the secret of anti-gravity is...
07:25Jeddah Walker.
07:29So be it.
07:32The Phantom's daughter, Jeddah, shall be yours.
07:48Whoever built this new amusement park really knew what they were doing.
07:57Don't you think it's rather strange we're the only ones here in this amusement park?
08:01Come on, get off it, Jeddah.
08:03I think it's terrific.
08:04We're the first ones here.
08:05This place is great.
08:07Yeah, it's awesome.
08:09Is it over yet?
08:20Well, I'm gonna go again.
08:21That's the third time we've been on the roller coaster.
08:24When do we get to ride the Ferris wheel like I wanted?
08:27All you do is go in circles.
08:29And slowly.
08:31You guys can ride this all day if you want.
08:33But it's my birthday and...
08:35Well, Kese and I are going on the Ferris wheel.
08:38Kishin, do you and Zuffy want to join us?
08:41Thanks, but we're gonna go to the fun house.
08:47Jeddah, meet us back here in an hour?
08:49Sometimes girls just have no sense of adventure.
08:52Don't tell that to Jeddah.
08:56What a brilliant idea this fake amusement park is.
09:01The girl will soon be mine.
09:04And then Graviton will provide me with the secret of anti-gravity.
09:11Hey, Zuff, look at me.
09:14I've got split personalities.
09:19Uh-oh, ice robots.
09:40They'll never find us in here.
09:46Oops, wrong way.
09:49Zuff, there's got to be a way out of here.
10:05Look!
10:11Happy landings, you little pests.
10:16And now for the others.
10:19LJ, look!
10:34Looks like the end of the line.
10:36If I may borrow this for a second.
10:40Apply a little friction.
10:41Friction.
10:42Do you think we're pushing this sense of adventure thing too far?
11:02Ferris wheel, here we come.
11:05Isn't this peaceful, Kisa?
11:13Kisa, help!
11:14That fool may need to lose my necklace if that mechanism self-destructs.
11:24Perhaps that can't's mind can be controlled.
11:30If I can just get Kisa to pull the lever.
11:34Kisa, Kisa!
11:37Kisa!
11:38Get the necklace!
11:46Get the necklace!
11:51Keep the...
11:53Get the necklace!
11:57Get the necklace!
11:59Oh, thanks, Rick.
12:21That's the best birthday gift ever.
12:23Where's Kashin?
12:24I... I don't know.
12:26And something is wrong with Kisa.
12:28Didn't Kashin say something about going to the funhouse?
12:31Right. Let's go.
12:33Kisa. Kisa?
12:35Kisa. Protect the necklace with your life.
12:44Oh, Zuff, how do we get out of this one?
12:51Hold on, Zuff!
12:53They must have come in here.
13:00But which way?
13:03That way!
13:05There has to be a way out of here.
13:07As Mandrake says,
13:08it's all done with mirrors.
13:12LJ, in here.
13:16There's no way out!
13:17We're trapped!
13:21Correct, young defenders.
13:23Now there is no escape.
13:26Got any bright ideas, Rick?
13:40Just one.
13:43This ought to brighten up their day a little.
13:52We have to find the ship.
13:53This isn't fun anymore.
14:01I found him, Rick. We're coming. Hang in there.
14:05Hurry up, Rick. Hurry.
14:10Grab my jacket, Kashin.
14:12I can't reach.
14:15A little lower, any farther.
14:18And I'll need someone to hold my ankles.
14:20You're gonna have to jump for it, Kashin.
14:23I'm scared.
14:25You can do it. I know it.
14:27One, two, three.
14:32Up we go.
14:42Oh, you ruined my jacket.
14:44Come on. Fun time's over.
14:46Kesa.
14:53Kesa, what's wrong, girl?
14:55Attach the girl.
14:58No, Kesa. It's me, Jedha.
15:01No. No.
15:02Kesa, it's me, girl.
15:05No.
15:05No.
15:06Attach.
15:07Attach.
15:10Please, Kesa, listen to me.
15:12Kesa, good girl.
15:18Good girl, Kesa.
15:20No.
15:23The necklace has blocked my mind probe.
15:28The strain was too great.
15:31I was almost sent back into my own universe.
15:38How could that girl put up such resistance?
15:48Jedha, are you all right?
15:50Some evil force had control of Kesa's mind.
15:53It wanted my necklace.
15:55Mick, I'm frightened.
15:57How could they have escaped my trap?
16:01Why does Graviton want the necklace of Oros?
16:05What is so special about it?
16:07I must know.
16:11And you say Kesa was mentally controlled by what, Jedha?
16:15I don't know, Mandrake.
16:16But this I do know.
16:18It was something horrible.
16:20It's...
16:20It's all so confusing.
16:22I can't remember.
16:23Mandrake, perhaps you could help her remember.
16:26Perhaps I can.
16:28Jedha, I'm going to put you into a trance.
16:30Are you ready?
16:31Yes, ready.
16:33Look deeply into my eyes.
16:36You feel sleepy.
16:38Sleepy.
16:40Sleepy.
16:41You're recalling what happened when you first saw the necklace.
16:45Yes.
16:46I can see myself.
16:48The necklace seemed to call to me.
16:51And when I looked into it, I was drawn.
16:54Drawn where, Jedha?
16:55Into another dimension.
16:58An...
16:58An alternate universe.
17:00Can you describe it, Jedha?
17:02Yes.
17:03Things were different in this dimension.
17:06The people and buildings were all so strange.
17:09No!
17:10No!
17:10What is it?
17:11What do you see?
17:12It is cruel in this dimension.
17:15There is some creature who holds all power.
17:17Yes.
17:18Yes.
17:19Yes.
17:20Yes.
17:20He is called Graviton.
17:21And the source of Graviton supremacy is the necklace of Oros.
17:35But even in the heart of Graviton's stronghold, there is rebellion.
17:41I have the necklace.
17:44We must send it somewhere Graviton can never find it.
17:47Another dimension.
17:48Blatok, will you take the necklace into the unknown for the good of the rebellion?
17:53To see Graviton fall.
17:55I will do anything.
17:57Anything.
17:57I will do anything.
18:06Stop it!
18:08Stop it!
18:09That took place 500 earth years ago, during the time of the first Phantom.
18:15The necklace of Oros was given to my ancestor for safekeeping.
18:19And it has lain dormant for all these generations waiting for me.
18:24somehow the necklace compressed all that information into a microsecond and fed it
18:32into jetta's brain if only we knew what its other powers were the good it could do attention
18:39attention an unknown energy transmission is being directed towards monitor
