01:03And this is the emergency override control, Kashin.
01:06Now, what did I say it was used for?
01:10Uh...
01:11It's...
01:12The hot water faucet?
01:14Would you two guys stop playing around and pay attention?
01:16This may save your life someday.
01:18Or better still, mine.
01:20Now, Kashin, the emergency override control activates the auxiliary power
01:24and gives you full control of the ship.
01:26Which is never necessary since I run this ship.
01:29Not Glamour Boy.
01:31Can't you just tell?
01:32She's crazy about me.
01:34Emergency!
01:35Emergency!
01:36Large unidentified mass headed this way on a collision course.
01:39What do we do?
01:40Evasive action immediately.
01:42You're the boss, precious.
01:43Uh-oh!
01:44I can't link up with Dad's ship.
01:45The receiving antenna must be damaged.
01:46He's in trouble.
01:47The main power circuit is shorted out.
01:48Activate emergency override.
01:49I'm trying!
01:50I'm trying!
01:51I'm trying!
01:52I'm trying!
01:53Dad, pull up!
01:54Oh!
01:55Oh!
01:56Oh!
01:57Oh!
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:01Oh!
02:02Oh!
02:03Oh!
02:04Oh!
02:05Oh!
02:06Oh!
02:07Oh!
02:08I can't link up with Dad's ship!
02:09The receiving antenna must be damaged.
02:10He's in trouble!
02:11The main power circuit is shorted out.
02:13Activate emergency override.
02:15I'm trying!
02:16I'm trying!
02:17Dad, pull up.
02:24That was too close.
02:29Well, old girl, we did it again.
02:31Give me a damage report.
02:32No major damage.
02:34Repair procedures in progress.
02:36Hey, you guys.
02:37See if you can find out what hit us.
02:38You heard the man, Dynaq.
02:43What's that?
02:44That is what crashed into Flash's ship.
02:47An invisible ship.
02:48Where did it come from?
02:50I don't know.
02:51But from its trajectory, I can predict where it's going.
02:57Ice Station Earth.
03:14Don't try my patience with mindless displays of power, Princess Astra.
03:35You are here by my sufferance.
03:38Never forget that.
03:42Now, behold the universe.
03:45Marvel and its majesty.
03:48Help me destroy Flash Gordon and the Defenders,
03:51and all this will be yours.
03:53I'm not interested in the universe.
03:55I've come only to avenge my mother's death,
03:58to destroy the one responsible,
04:00the one you call Flash Gordon.
04:02You give me the formula to create clay slaves,
04:06and I'll give you Flash Gordon.
04:09Bring me enough of this blue clay,
04:11and I will create an army of slaves
04:13powerful enough to destroy Monitor forever.
04:16Octon, where do I find this blue clay?
04:21There is only one source on Earth, your majesty.
04:25The Bandar village in the deep woods of Africa.
04:30Garax.
04:33Your orders, my lord.
04:35Go to the Bandar village,
04:36and bring back the rare blue clay.
04:40And Garax.
04:41Yes, your majesty.
04:42Do not fail me.
04:43Dad, I was afraid you weren't going to make it.
04:58Are you kidding, Rick?
04:59I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
05:01Did you know the ceremony of the blue clay
05:03only takes place once every hundred years?
05:06Correct.
05:07That's when the Bandar tribe renews its pledge
05:09to keep harmony with nature.
05:11It is only then that they can harvest the blue clay.
05:13I can see why the blue clay is so rare.
05:20Emperor Ming needs the blue clay.
05:22Find it.
05:28Warning.
05:29Warning.
05:30What is it, Dynak?
05:31My sensors have detected a squadron
05:33of Ming's ice robots in your area.
05:35Take action immediately.
05:37Defenders, assemble.
05:41Quickly.
05:42Everyone across.
05:42Lothar, behind you.
05:58Fools.
05:59I'm surrounded by fools.
06:01So that's Flash Gordon.
06:04I must destroy him.
06:07Astra, stop.
06:09As the old saying goes,
06:17you may have won this battle,
06:18but you've lost the war.
06:24I feel like there's something evil near.
06:27That girl has more power than she realizes.
06:39Flash Gordon, Queen Aura is dead,
06:44as you well know.
06:46I am Princess Astra,
06:47daughter of Queen Aura.
06:50Well, Princess Astra,
06:52we welcome you.
06:53You don't fool me, Flash Gordon.
06:55Queen, I'm here to destroy you.
07:00You, I will deal with later.
07:02When all of you are clay people.
07:05Monitor's in danger.
07:06We've got to get back.
07:07Nothing you can do can save Monitor
07:09from my army of invincible clay soldiers.
07:15All of you go on ahead.
07:16I'll stay here,
07:17just in case Astra and Ming decide to return.
07:20Let's just hope the rest of us
07:22can get back to Monitor
07:23before it's too late.
07:25I wonder why Ming wants to convince Astra
07:28that I was responsible for her mother's death.
07:30But you are in Flash.
07:32In fact, Ming himself was responsible
07:34for Queen Aura's death.
07:36I just don't understand Ming's plan.
07:38I don't understand what clay people are.
07:41The clay people were created by Astra's mother.
07:44She had the power to turn all of her enemies
07:46into mindless clay creatures
07:47with the ability to do almost anything.
07:49They can walk through walls
07:51and it's almost impossible to stop them.
07:54Yes, they're the perfect soldiers for Ming.
07:59The blue clay, my lord.
08:01Astra, you disobeyed me.
08:03You were not to confront Flash Gordon.
08:05No one tells the daughter of Queen Aura what to do.
08:08Not even the great Ming.
08:11Flash Gordon destroyed your mother.
08:13You must avenge her death.
08:16But first, here, Astra.
08:18Take the clay.
08:20Perform your magic, great princess.
08:26Arama.
08:27Arnicto.
08:28Argama.
08:29Arguren.
08:30Arnacto.
08:31Aramen.
08:34Bring me your subjects
08:36and witness my power.
08:46Turn them into clay, people.
08:49Mordor.
08:50Tab-salut.
08:51Arrraa.
08:56Wonderful.
08:56What is your command,
08:59O great and glorious Ming?
09:00I command you to walk through the wall and return from the other side.
09:12You see the power, Ming?
09:14With enough blue clay, I can turn all earthlings into clay slaves.
09:19With them, I will destroy, Monitor.
09:21Nothing will stop me.
09:24Astro, my dear, allow me to hold on to the pouch of blue clay for safekeeping.
09:31As you can see, my pouch of blue clay is perfectly safe with me.
09:36Garax, return with your men to the Bandar Village and get me all the blue clay you can.
09:41And this time, don't fail.
09:45I'll see to it that they won't fail.
09:47I am going with your men.
09:51Ming alert.
09:54Ming alert.
09:55A ship just left Ice Station Earth and is heading toward the Bandar Village.
09:58They must be after more blue clay.
10:01Rick, we've got to warn my father.
10:04Rick Gordon calling the Phantom.
10:05Do you read me?
10:07Yes, Rick.
10:07What is it?
10:08One of Ming's ships is heading toward the Bandar Village.
10:11Probably after more of the sacred blue clay.
10:13Thanks for the warning.
10:15The Bandar and I will take care of it.
10:17Phantom out.
10:18I have a plan to fool Ming's men.
10:20I have a plan to fool Ming's men.
10:20I have a plan to fool Ming's men.
10:20I have a plan to fool Ming's men.
10:20I have a plan to fool Ming's men.
10:24Destroy all who stand in our way.
10:54Freeze them.
11:04Stop!
11:05Not yet, fools.
11:07They're not the ones we want.
11:08Phantom, a bargain.
11:10Your friend's freedom in exchange for you.
11:18Now freeze them.
11:24Okay, here's the situation.
11:28Ming and Princess Astra...
11:29Influor alert. Influor alert.
11:31Flash Gordon, I have something I want to show you.
11:35Flash, don't listen to her. Save yourselves.
11:39It is time for my mother to be avenged.
11:42Astra, Ming destroyed your mother, not me.
11:44You can't trick me.
11:45Surrender or your friend the Phantom will become the first of Ming's clay army.
11:49Astra, please listen to me, please.
11:51You have 30 minutes in which to surrender.
11:54The coordinates are already in your computer.
11:57Looks like Ming's plan may work after all.
11:59But, Dad!
12:00Stay here and protect Monitor.
12:02Nonsense, my friend. Lothar and I insist on accompanying you.
12:05Besides...
12:07You'll hardly even know we're here.
12:10Rick, I want to try the holographic projection pen.
12:19No, Kashin!
12:20That's my new laser pen.
12:23We've gotta follow Flash!
12:25You're right, Jetta.
12:27Oh, boy!
12:28I'm afraid that doesn't include you and Zuffy.
12:30This mission's too dangerous.
12:32If Ming sends his clay soldiers against Monitor,
12:35they're safer with us than here alone, Rick.
12:37She's right.
12:38Okay, come on.
12:39This is it.
12:40You just do what the lady tells you.
12:41Lothar and I will take care of everything.
12:42Now, Flash Gordon.
12:43You are my prisoner.
12:44Release the Phantom.
12:45Flash Gordon.
12:46By order of Ming the Merciless, I take you prisoner.
12:47He is mine!
12:48How dare you take him from me!
12:49A direct order of Emperor Ming.
12:50Ming will pay dearly for this.
12:51They're taking off.
12:52I can guess where their next stop is.
12:53I station Earth!
12:54How dare you take him?
12:55How dare you take him from me!
12:56I station Earth!
12:57How dare you take him?
12:58You just do what the lady tells you.
12:59You just do what the lady tells you.
13:00Lothar and I will take care of everything.
13:01Now, Flash Gordon.
13:02You are my prisoner.
13:03Release the Phantom.
13:04Flash Gordon.
13:05By order of Ming the Merciless, I take you prisoner.
13:06He is mine!
13:07How dare you take him from me!
13:08A direct order of Emperor Ming.
13:09Ming will pay dearly for this.
13:11They're taking off.
13:12I can guess where their next stop is.
13:14I station Earth!
13:15How dare you take Flash Gordon from me!
13:21No one questions Ming.
13:24Obey my command.
13:25Turn him into one of the clay people!
13:28Your magic is useless against my powers.
13:33Now, do as I say.
13:35Astra, don't listen to this madman.
13:37He lies!
13:38Silence!
13:39Do as I say.
13:40Your mother must be avenged.
13:43I hope you don't mind, Ming old boy.
14:02But blue clay just isn't in this season.
14:06I do believe we've overstayed our welcome.
14:11You really should put those things on a leash.
14:28How will we get in?
14:30No time like the present to try out my laser torch.
14:35There you are.
14:36One custom sized tunnel.
14:38I sense the phantom's presence.
14:41This way, follow me!
14:42Innkeeper!
14:43Do you have lodgings for two more guests?
14:44Don't trouble yourself, my dear fellow.
14:45We'll show ourselves around.
14:46Don't worry, pal.
14:47I'll have you out of there in a jeffy.
