00:32Enders!
00:35His strength is a legend, his skills conquer all!
00:38Armed with his power, we never will fall!
00:42Defenders of the Earth!
00:44Enders!
00:46With our new young heroes proving their worth!
00:49Four become eight, defending the Earth!
00:52Defenders of the Earth!
00:54Enders!
00:55Defenders of the Earth!
01:16Forward, destroyed.
01:17At last, the end of the Defenders.
01:32Rick, use your communicator ring to contact Dad and the others.
01:35I got a brighter idea.
01:39Hey, man, what's with the Nova Grenade?
01:42Now we can't see either.
01:43In a word, that was awful.
01:47Ming would have had you guys for breakfast.
01:49Next time, remember to warn us when you get a brighter idea.
01:53Yeah, I'm still seeing spots before my eyes.
01:57That was a pretty impulsive thing to do, son.
02:00Next time, think things through before you act.
02:03So I made one mistake. Big deal. I know what I'm doing.
02:06I'm afraid this is going to have to wait. We have a real emergency.
02:09Looks like a great place to break in my new skis.
02:12Except that yesterday, this was the tropical island of Carter.
02:16King Carter is an old friend, and he obviously needs help.
02:20That's odd.
02:21There have been several reports of changing weather conditions around the world recently.
02:25Rick, I'm leaving for Carter immediately.
02:28And I need you and Dinak to find the source of these strange weather disturbances.
02:32You got it.
02:33Phantom, old buddy, I sense Ming's hand in all this.
02:36I don't think there's any time to waste.
02:37LJ, you and I better locate Mandrake and Lothar.
02:40I have a feeling we're going to need them both before this is through.
02:43Come, Kisa.
02:44Ah!
02:53Excellent.
02:53Phase 1 is proceeding exactly as I planned.
02:58And Phase 2 is to get Rick Gordon's ring and supercharge my weather device to freeze the entire world at once.
03:06Thanks to the unique circuits designed into that Defender's special ring.
03:11With your new weather control device, the world will soon be at your feet, sire.
03:23As long as the Defenders continue falling into my trap, no force on Earth can stop me.
03:31Rick, I've located the source of the strange weather patterns.
03:35It's just as we suspected.
03:37They're coming straight from my station, Earth.
03:39Correct, Rick.
03:40Ming's weather device seems to work on a loop and triple feedback circuit.
03:44I invented that circuit myself.
03:46The only place on Earth it's used is in my special communicator ring.
03:50It appears that Ming has developed a very primitive form of the circuit himself.
03:54Rick, if Ming gets that circuit, won't it mean he can get into just about everything?
03:59It could, Kishian.
04:01Dynak, how are the design modifications coming from my new power skis?
04:04They're complete.
04:05Computer analysis indicates they'll be the fastest skis ever.
04:13I think we're gonna have to pay a visit to Ice Station Earth.
04:17I've already loaded the new skis inside all the vehicles.
04:21Thanks, Dynak.
04:22Where Ming's concerned, I want to have all the bases covered.
04:24Oh, boy, this is great.
04:26Ming doesn't stand a chance against them, Suffy.
04:28We'll show him.
04:33Phantom, I thank you for coming to our aid.
04:36First, there was snow and ice.
04:38Now, the strange ice people and machines.
04:41Carter, what ice people and machines?
04:51We've got to get to the copter.
04:53I'll lead the villagers to safety.
04:55You'll get to the copter.
04:56The ghost who walks,
05:18pulls forth the strength of ten tigers.
05:22Staying with the main target.
05:34Use the driver beam.
05:43Destroy the fandom.
05:44We have what we came for, Garax.
05:57Return to base immediately.
05:59As you wish, my lord.
06:01I don't understand.
06:05Why would Ming capture Flash
06:07and let me escape?
06:10Ah, my old adversary, Flash Gordon.
06:14How nice of you to visit me.
06:20You're just in time to witness
06:22my takeover of your pathetic planet.
06:25Yeah, seems to me we've heard that one before.
06:27This time will be different.
06:29Flash Gordon and his friends
06:31won't be there to stop me.
06:33I wouldn't be so sure, Ming.
06:35You witness the power
06:36of my new weather device
06:38on that tropical island?
06:39As soon as your foolhardy son
06:42attempts to rescue you,
06:43I will have the last element I need
06:46to freeze the whole world.
06:49Stop it.
06:50Not if I can help it.
06:53Ah, but you will help it.
06:56In fact, you are vital to my plans.
06:58The baking mantra, so to speak.
07:00When you serve your purpose,
07:06you'll be the first to feel
07:07the full nip of my
07:09merciless Ming winter.
07:20Well, what are we waiting for?
07:21If my father's been captured by Ming,
07:23we gotta rescue him.
07:24We will, Rick.
07:25But first things first.
07:27Have you and Dynek located the source
07:29of the weather disturbances?
07:31Yes.
07:31It's right where we expected.
07:33Ice Station Earth.
07:34Hold tight, Rick.
07:35And don't do anything
07:37till I return.
07:38But...
07:38Rick, that's an order.
07:41I've managed to establish
07:43a visual link
07:44inside Ice Station Earth.
07:47Dad!
07:49Sorry, Rick.
07:50That's all I can get.
07:51That doesn't...
07:52I can't wait around here any longer.
07:53I gotta rescue my father right now.
07:56Rick, there's something
07:57you should know first.
07:59I believe Ming wanted me
08:00to show you that picture
08:01of your father.
08:02I think it may be a trap.
08:04I've gotta take that chance.
08:06You can't, Rick.
08:07The Phantom told us
08:08to wait for help.
08:09You're too young
08:10to understand, Kashin.
08:11Orders or no orders,
08:12this is an emergency.
08:14Kashin, cover for me.
08:16I understand, all right.
08:17Rick can disobey orders,
08:19and so can we.
08:21Come on, Suffy.
08:23Sire, do you think
08:31it was wise
08:32allowing Darnak
08:33and the Defenders
08:33to see inside our fortress?
08:37Wise, Octon.
08:38It was brilliant.
08:40The Phantom is on Carter,
08:42and I've arranged
08:43a special surprise
08:44to keep the remaining
08:45Defenders occupied,
08:46which means Rick Gordon
08:49will attempt
08:50to rescue his father alone.
08:53I have nothing
08:56against opera,
08:57but next time,
08:58let's go to the ballet.
08:59I'm more of a
09:00physical kind of person,
09:02you know?
09:02Never fear, old chap.
09:04You're just going
09:04to adore the soprano.
09:05She's come all the way
09:06from Europe especially
09:07for this performance.
09:17Mandrake and Lothar
09:18are where we want them.
09:19Close off the exits.
09:20Sorry to spoil your evening,
09:24but unless I'm terribly mistaken,
09:26we have visitors.
09:27Ming's men of force
09:28can be so annoying at times.
09:31Just when I was enjoying it so.
09:33No time for quitting
09:34calls tonight,
09:34I'm afraid.
09:35Don't look now,
09:36but we're surrounded.
09:38Never fear, old friend.
09:39There's a special illusion
09:41I've been saving
09:41for just such an occasion.
09:42They all look the same.
09:46Which ones are they?
09:47We can't grab everyone.
09:49Suddenly beats your rabbit
09:50out of the hat trick.
09:52How'd you do that?
09:53A good illusionist
09:54never reveals his secrets.
09:58There they are.
09:59No time for illusions
10:00now, my friend.
10:03How dare those
10:04that have forced
10:04interrupt the opera.
10:06They have absolutely
10:06no breeding.
10:07None at all.
10:08We'd better contact the others
10:10and find out
10:10what's going on.
10:13I don't believe it.
10:15This is beginning
10:16to get on my nerves.
10:21Hi, Dad.
10:23What's happening?
10:26That's my boy.
10:28And this started out
10:29to be such a relaxing evening.
10:32Oh, no you don't.
10:33Kisa, strike!
10:40Come along, everyone.
10:43We've got work to do.
10:49Rick did what?
10:50Well, why didn't you
10:51stop him, Dynak?
10:52Why didn't you kill him?
10:53Excuse me, Jedha.
10:54I tried.
10:55Hold it, Jedha.
10:56It's not Dynak's fault
10:57Rick ran off
10:58without waiting for help.
10:59You're right, LJ.
11:00I'm sorry, Dynak.
11:02I just hope Rick's all right.
11:04How could such a smart guy
11:05do such a stupid thing?
11:07We've got to come up
11:08with a plan to rescue Flash.
11:10Dynak, alert my father.
11:11Tell him Rick left
11:12for Ice Station Earth
11:13on his own.
11:14I took that liberty, Jedha.
11:16The Phantom is already
11:17on his way
11:18to Ice Station Earth.
11:19We've got no time to lose.
11:21Bundle up,
11:22because we're headed
11:22straight for Ice Station Earth.
11:28So far, so good.
11:30Looks like all of Ming's
11:31defenses are down.
11:33Let's hope my luck holds.
11:34If Rick knew we were here,
11:39he'd get real mad.
11:41Come on, Zuffy.
11:42My lord,
11:43intruder detectors report
11:44Rick Gordon approaching
11:46as expected.
11:48Excellent, Octon.
11:49Excellent.
11:50I knew it would be
11:52only a matter of time
11:53before Rick Gordon
11:54came to rescue his father.
11:56Was it wise of you, my lord,
11:58to lift the defense shields
11:59and remove the guard?
12:00Octon, we must make
12:03our young visitor
12:04feel welcome.
12:05Especially since
12:06once he enters Ice Station Earth,
12:08he becomes our
12:09permanent guest.
12:11In fact,
12:12I've already sent
12:13Mongo ahead
12:14to make him feel
12:16right at home.
12:19I haven't seen one guard.
12:20Must be my lucky day.
12:25Wow!
12:26Isn't this real exciting, Zuffy?
12:28Great!
12:36The Sunset has picked up
12:37the homing signal
12:38from my dad's communicator.
12:46This is as close as I can get
12:48by air without triggering
12:49beings' defenses.
12:50By jungle law,
12:57the ghost who walks
12:58calls forth
13:00the strength
13:01of ten tigers.
13:11No wonder.
13:13Dad!
13:14Rick!
13:15Run, son!
13:15It's a trap!
13:17Dad, I'm not leaving
13:18without you.
13:19Help!
13:19Help, Rick!
13:25Help!
13:26Let's go!
13:27At last,
13:29I've done it.
13:30Flash, Horton,
13:31Rick,
13:32and the ring
13:33are mine forever.
13:44Son,
13:45are you all right?
13:46I'm afraid I botched
13:47this one pretty badly,
13:48Dad.
13:49I should have waited
13:49for the Phantom
13:50and the others.
13:55This just might do the trick.
14:02Phantom?
14:04Huh?
14:05I have come for the prisoners
14:06by order of His Majesty
14:08Ming the Merciless.
14:09I receive no such orders
14:11as Garak's.
14:13Surely you recognize
14:14one of my oldest
14:15and dearest friends
14:16and our newest
14:18permanent guest
14:19here at Ice Stationed Earth,
14:21the Phantom?
14:22We won't be staying, Ming.
14:24Phantom!
14:26Cover your eyes.
14:27Come on!
14:40Garak's!
14:41Stop them!
14:41Don't let them get away!
14:43After that,
14:44they must escape.
14:45This way!
14:54Whoops!
14:55Wrong way.
14:56Surrender.
14:59A wise decision.
15:00Garak's,
15:01you imbecile!
15:02Where's Rick Gordon?
15:03Find the boy
15:04and his ring!
15:08There's the entrance.
15:09What about those guards?
15:11Leave them to me.
15:12Then let's go!
15:13Right.
15:14It's right.
15:24It's right.
15:25Great.
15:26Which way now?
15:29Looks like my luck's
15:30definitely run out.
15:32I won't give up
15:33without a fight.
15:36No!
15:38Hey, hey, hey.
15:38Hold on there.
15:39We're on the same team,
15:41remember?
15:41Rick, you're all right.
15:42Richard Gordon,
15:44if you ever do anything
15:46as stupid as this again,
15:47I'll...
15:48I'll...
15:49Ming set me up for this.
15:52I'm afraid so, old chap.
15:54Dynak X and Lothar
15:55figured it out.
15:57Ming's evil mind
15:58counted on your
15:58impulsive behavior.
15:59I should have listened
16:00to the Phantom.
16:01Next time I promise
16:02not to rush into things
16:03without thinking.
16:04Let's just hope
16:05there is a next time.
16:06Oh!
16:06Down here!
16:12Come.
16:13We can't help him now.
16:26At least one of my subjects
16:29can obey an order.
16:30My lord,
16:31the remaining defenders
16:32have stumbled
16:33into the maze
16:34of no return.
16:35They are trapped.
16:37With Rick Gordon
16:38in my power,
16:39I don't need to worry
16:40about the other defenders
16:41any longer.
16:42Take the boy
16:43to the Hall of Inquisition.
16:45Even his primitive mind
16:47has much
16:48that could be of value to me.
16:49And prepare to supercharge
16:51my weather machine.
16:53Within the hour,
16:55Earth will be mine.
16:56I don't understand it.
17:00Ming's ice robots
17:01have stopped chasing us.
17:02Something's not right.
17:04Stop!
17:04What is it, Jetta?
17:05I...
17:06I don't know.
17:07My instincts tell me
17:08that way is dangerous.
17:10We'll see.
17:14Apparently you were mistaken.
17:16Everyone followed.
17:18That's why we're not
17:19being followed.
17:20This place is booby-trapped.
17:21My senses tell me
17:22our friends are...
17:24uh...
17:25that way.
17:26That's good enough
17:27for me.
17:28Come on.
17:32It doesn't appear
17:33to be any other way.
17:35Every corridor
17:35behind us is blocked.
17:37We have no choice.
17:40Run for it!
17:48Hang on, Jetta!
17:49Flash!
17:58Flash!
17:59Phantom!
18:03Look out!
18:06Elday!
18:07The quick one too!
18:12Aye-oop!
18:13There's no time to lose.
18:21We've still got to find Rick
18:23and stop Ming
18:24from freezing the world.
18:26Soon,
18:26the Inquisitor
18:27will drain you
18:28of all your knowledge
18:29and leave you
18:31as useless
18:32as a zombie slay.
18:35and then
18:36your ring
18:37will supercharge
18:38my weather machine
18:39to freeze
18:40all life
18:41on
18:42Earth.
18:43Sorry, Ming.
18:44I'm afraid
18:45your plans
18:46will have to be
18:46put on ice.
18:48You always were
18:50the fool, Mandrake,
18:51living under the illusion
18:52that the defenders
18:53could defeat
18:54the great Ming.
18:55Drain his mind
18:57now.
18:57Be a good sport,
19:04Mingle boy.
19:05Give it up.
19:06You've lost.
19:08You're such fools.
19:11You can't beat me
19:12with childish tricks.
19:14Once Rick Gordon's
19:15ring is locked in,
19:17no power on Earth
19:18will be able
19:19to remove it.
19:22This can't be!
19:25No!
19:26Longer!
19:26Destroy them all!
19:30Attack!
19:32Fools!
19:33Attack!
19:38Come on, Cheddar.
19:40Just want to say
19:41goodbye to Monsters.
19:46No, Mungor,
19:48no!
19:56Last one to the ship,
20:00the Gregorian Caveslug.
20:03Taking matters
20:04into my own hands
20:05without permission
20:05only made a bad
20:06problem worse.
20:07I'm really sorry,
20:09everyone.
20:09Oh, come on now, son.
20:10You meant well.
20:11You did what you
20:12thought was right.
20:13I guess we all
20:14make mistakes.
20:16Just don't do it again.
20:18Okay.
20:19Okay, I promise.
20:20still don't do it again.
20:37There is still there.
