01:07There it is! The Hall of Wisdom!
01:09It's the biggest storehouse of knowledge in the universe!
01:12And it'll only be here for one day!
01:14Then we'll have to wait 2,000 years for the next visit!
01:17All we have to do for the next 24 hours is keep Ming from breaking in and stealing the quasar weapon!
01:22We've got our work cut out for us!
01:24Heads up!
01:25Unfortunately, I don't have an illusion to defeat Ming's battle fleet!
01:28Let them come!
01:29I can't wait to blast Ming's robots out of the sky!
01:33Great strife may not be the answer, Lothar!
01:40It may take animal cunning to beat back Ming's force this time!
01:44Zuff and I can beat him!
01:46Right, Zuff?
01:47Okay, troops, it's show time!

02:02Looked like a lucky shot to me!
02:03But if you really wanna see some fancy shooting, watch this!
02:06Do with one shot!
02:07Yeah!
02:08Yeah!
02:09Way to go, Rick!
02:10Don't get too cocky, Hot Shots!
02:11Ming's just pulled more fighters out of his hat!
02:14Mandric, maybe you don't have a magic trick for us, but obviously Ming does!
02:17Very funny, Lothar!
02:18Very funny!
02:19Very funny!
02:20Very funny!
02:21All right!
02:22This is it!
02:23They got Rick!
02:24Look out, LJ!
02:25Two Ming ships right below you!
02:27Oh!
02:28Hey, you gotta go!
02:29Oh, my god.
02:30See you.
02:31gus!
02:32When the magic tricks are up, let's go!
02:33I'm sorry!
02:34Lookin' up!
02:35You're this!
02:36You have to go!
02:37This is the殺ge!
02:39One fight!
02:40The magic tricks are in the world!
02:42Let's go!
02:43You have to go!
02:44You have to go!
02:45You have to go!
02:46You have to go!
02:47You have to go!
02:49You have to go!
02:50I'll show you!
02:58LJ, I'm going in.
03:00Time with you all the way, old friend.
03:02Lead on.
03:06I'm going after the cargo ship.
03:08Jedha, I'll clear your path.
03:14Thanks, Father. I've got a clear shot at it now.
03:17Hold on, Jedha. I'll lead you in.
03:19Zeph and I are going to help, too.
03:22All right, just follow me.
03:24If we can blow their main fuel rods, we're home free.
03:27Yay! Go Defenders!
03:36Flash! The ship's been hit!
03:43Now it's just you and me, Ming.
03:45Oh, no, my lasers are dead.
03:47There's only one way to stop Ming's robots from reaching the Hall of Wisdom now.
03:56All right!
03:58Hey!
04:03Don't celebrate yet.
04:04We lost all of our remote-controlled puppet ships stopping Ming's first attack.
04:08The next battle, no puppet ships. It's us out there.
04:13The Defenders believe they have beaten our entire fleet.
04:17With your new molecular disruptor beam, we will surprise and destroy them, sire.
04:22Soon, the Defenders of the Earth will be history, and I alone will have the secret of the Quasar weapon, and all the knowledge from the Hall of Wisdom.
04:36We saw the family before coming back.
04:47I can't get it.
05:16I can't get these doors open. Any suggestions?
05:19Why don't we just knock?
05:20Check with Dynak. See if she's broken the entry code.
05:23Good idea, Rick. Lothar, do you copy?
05:26Loud and clear.
05:27Any luck with the entry code?
05:30Sorry, Flash. Dynak's still trying.
05:34At least there's no sign of meing yet.
05:36Keep us posted. Flash Gordon out.
05:39Lothar, why are those asteroids moving in the opposite direction from everything else?
05:44What? Are you sure?
05:46I'm sure. Duff and I have been tracking them for the last hour.
05:50There's only one reason, Kishen. It's a meing trap.
05:57Our presence has been detected, Garax. Launch the attack now.
06:02Yes, Excellency. Destroy. Destroy.
06:05It's a surprise attack.
06:12Quick, everybody take cover.
06:20My jets are not responding.
06:23Jenna.
06:28Rick, no.
06:30Rick!
06:34Rick!
06:38Rick!
06:39I... I can't believe it.
06:41Rick is... he's gone.
06:47I... I can't believe it.
06:50I'll never see Rick again.
06:51I'll never see Rick again.
06:53These hand lasers are useless against Ming's ships.
07:08It's gonna take a miracle to get us out of this one.
07:14Hey, what'd I say?
07:20It's a force field of some kind.
07:21What's happening?
07:36The Hall of Wisdom has opened to my enemies.
07:39I must have the secrets of the Hall.
07:42Octon, prepare the Imperial Star Cruiser.
07:45I will enter the Hall of Wisdom myself.
07:48The fuel cell's been hit.
07:58We're losing power.
07:59Let me concentrate my telepathic energy to repair the damage.
08:15There.
08:16Try it now.
08:20The power's back.
08:22Mandrake, you're amazing.
08:24But of course.
08:25Now I'll show Ming's robots a thing or two.
08:34Way to go, Lothar!
08:38Yes, old friend.
08:39But what about Flash and the others?
08:40Flash!
08:50I don't understand!
08:51Where's it taking us?
08:52I don't know.
08:53But the Hall can't keep us in this bubble forever.
08:55Oh, my goodness.
08:57Goodness gracious me.
08:58This will never do.
08:59Oh, my.
08:59No, no, no.
09:00Never do at all.
09:01Who are you?
09:02I am Jarba.
09:03Caretaker of the Hall of Wisdom.
09:05You are my guests.
09:06Oh, yes, that you are.
09:09What have we here?
09:12Can you help him?
09:14Help him?
09:15Help him?
09:16Well, perhaps yes.
09:17Perhaps no.
09:18But we must hurry.
09:20Come.
09:20Come, come, come.
09:21This way.
09:22This way.
09:22Can you bring my boy back to life?
09:29Can I?
09:31Oh, my, no.
09:31I can't do anything of the kind.
09:33No, no, no, no.
09:36But in some cases, the life extender here can repair damage and start the system working again.
09:44Quite remarkable, actually.
09:45My, yes.
09:46Yes, indeed.
09:48Oh, I just hope we're in time.
09:50Yes, indeed.
09:51Yes, yes, indeed.
09:52What can we do to help?
09:56Back.
09:57Back, back, back.
09:58Everyone back.
09:59It's time.
09:59Oh, yes, it is.
10:04This is it.
10:06Oh, not to worry.
10:08It always does this.
10:09Oh, no.
10:22He's alive.
10:25He's alive.
10:26Rick's alive.
10:33What happened?
10:35Son, are you all right?
10:38Welcome back, buddy.
10:39Yes, indeed.
10:40Welcome back.
10:41Oh, yes.
10:42Welcome back.
10:44Jarbon, you saved my son's life.
10:46How can I ever repay you?
10:48Repay?
10:49Oh, my, no.
10:50I am not the one who must be repaid.
10:53Not me.
10:54Oh, no, no, no.
10:56Oh, but I must do something.
10:58Oh, but of course.
10:59Oh, my, yes.
11:00The boy and the girl will remain here with me.
11:03Permanently, as a living exhibit of Earth creatures.
11:20That will be payment enough.
11:22Oh, my, yes, yes, yes, yes.
11:26This had better work, my friend.
11:28I'm putting all our power reserves into the ship's laser.
11:30Extend the laser booster.
11:38Laser booster extended.
11:40Switching all power to laser booster now.
11:45How much longer can we keep this up?
11:48Until all our power is drained, or we melt the relay circuits.
11:54That's it.
11:55I'm afraid our power is gone.
11:57It looks like we have to face a greater problem.
11:59Ming's forces are on their way.
12:02And we're completely dead in space.
12:04Excellency, the Defender ship appears to be helpless.
12:08What are your orders?
12:10Prepare to activate my new molecular disruptor, Beam Gerax.
12:15After it atomizes the Defender ship,
12:17I will use it to open the doors to the Hall of Wisdom.
12:21As you command, Excellency.
12:23Look, Jaroban, I'm very grateful that you saved my son's life.
12:28You can't expect us to give up Jedha and Rick.
12:31But why not?
12:33As you can see, we take very special care of our exhibits.
12:37Oh, my, yes, yes, yes, we do.
12:40This is crazy.
12:41We're not leaving Rick and Jedha here.
12:43Oh, dear, I'd hoped you'd be more civilized about this.
12:45But it appears I shall have to use other methods.
13:00I'd give that a ten if I do say so myself.
13:02By jungle law, the ghost who walks
13:05calls forth the strength of ten tigers.
13:19Yay!
13:19Go, Defenders!
13:21Oh, no, no, no, this will never do.
13:23Oh, my, no, no, no, no, never do at all.
13:26Oh, I'm afraid the Keepers will be called.
13:28I'll be sure they will.
13:29Oh, my, yes.
13:32Once the Keepers are released,
13:39I'm afraid there is no stopping them.
13:42No hope at all.
13:59Oh, my, yes.
14:01Stop!
14:10Please!
14:11We are friends!
14:12You must not harm us!
14:14Go back!
14:15Go back!
14:20It's a good thing your powers work on alien animals, too.
14:23How about it, Jarobon?
14:24Release Jedha and my son!
14:26Oh, dear, I keep trying to explain to you.
14:29I am only the caretaker of the Hall of Wisdom.
14:31I do not have the power to release them.
14:34I know.
14:35Who does?
14:36My patience grows thin.
14:38The Hall of Wisdom makes its own decisions.
14:41Oh, yes, it does.
14:42If you can convince the Hall that you are just and honorable,
14:47then perhaps it will release your friends.
14:49Perhaps, perhaps...
14:50Perhaps...
14:51Perhaps...
14:56Our lasers are dead!
15:03It's impossible!
15:05The bar isn't even warm!
15:06The Hall of Wisdom now has the exhibit it came to your galaxy for.
15:10And what wonderful specimens.
15:13Oh, my, yes, yes, indeed.
15:15And now we must prepare to leave.
15:17Say much what to do.
15:19Goodbye, goodbye.
15:21Jarobon, you don't understand.
15:23Ming the Merciless will stop at nothing to obtain the Quasar weapon which is stored in here.
15:27Listen to him, Jarobon.
15:29Flash is right.
15:30Ming will use the power of the Quasar to rule the whole universe.
15:33Telling stories about Ming the Merciless won't free you.
15:36Oh, no, no, no, no, indeed.
15:38But it's true!
15:39Ming is probably outside the doors of the Hall of Wisdom right now!
15:45Destroy the Defenders now.
15:54The Molecular Disruptor worked perfectly.
15:58The ship and everyone in it is destroyed, Garrax.
16:05Prepare to remove the doors to the Hall of Wisdom.
16:08Boy, it's a good thing we got out of that ship when we did.
16:12Quite right, Kishin.
16:13Or now we would be history.
16:15So Ming has finally perfected his Molecular Disruptor Beam.
16:18I doubt even the Hall of Wisdom can withstand that.
16:22Hold on.
16:23It looks like we're about to find out.
16:25This will never do.
16:30Never, never, never, never, never.
16:36Release us.
16:37Ming must not be allowed to learn your secrets.
16:40Now if we only had weapons to fight with.
16:45Wow.
16:47Look out!
16:49Fall back!
16:50Regroup!
16:50Find the Quasar Weapon.
16:55Destroy anything that stands in your way.
17:02Father, what's going on?
17:04Ming!
17:05Jabon!
17:06You've got to let us out!
17:07I can't.
17:08Only the Hall itself can release you now.
17:14We'll never get to Ming in time.
17:17I wish Dad and Mandrake were here!
17:20Look!
17:26It's Dad!
17:30Maybe this will slow you down, old friend.
17:35You will pay for this.
17:38Now!
17:43Your tricks can't defeat my mechanical seekers, magician.
17:48Look out!
17:49Watch it!
17:51Look out!
17:53Help!
17:58Now to finish the Defenders once and for all.
18:03Quickly!
18:03Find the Quasar Weapon.
18:05Hey!
18:06Nothing's working!
18:07I'm going to miss our little skirmishes, Flash Gordon.
18:11You were a most amusing opponent.
18:14Don't get too cocky, Ming.
18:16You haven't beaten us yet.
18:18Only one thing in the universe could save you now, Earth-Man.
18:23The Quasar Weapon.
18:26Magnificent!
18:26Give it to me.
18:28I have waited a lifetime for this moment, and now it is mine.
18:32I'm afraid not Ming.
18:34I'm afraid not Ming.
18:36Seize him.
18:38Rick!
18:39Catch!
18:40I can feel its power.
18:43Give it to me.
18:44No, Ming.
18:45The power is mine and mine alone.
18:48Stand back!
18:49So, you like the feeling of power, don't you, young Earthling?
18:54You deserve the power.
18:57Rick, no!
18:58You can't become like Ming!
19:00I said give it to me.
19:02Come, join me.
19:04Together we can rule the universe.
19:06Ming, I will never be like you!
19:09Well said, young Earthling.
19:12There is great hope for the future of your people.
19:16Yes, yes.
19:17The Hall is pleased.
19:22No!
19:23You will not take this from me.
19:26I am Ming the Merciless.
19:28I will be Emperor of the Universe.
19:31The Hall of Wisdom cannot allow its information to be used for evil purposes.
19:37No, no, no.
19:39It must be used only for good.
19:42Hurry, hurry.
19:43The Hall is returning you all to your homes, where you belong.
19:47No one defeats Ming.
19:50No one!
19:55We're home.
19:56Son, I'm proud of you.
19:58Thanks, Dad.
19:59But what about the Hall of Wisdom?
20:02There was so much we could have learned.
20:04First, we must rid the universe of evil forces like Ming.
20:07And only then will mankind be ready to share the Hall's wisdom when it returns again.
20:29Second, what about the Hall of Wisdom?
20:31No one defeats R培
20:49While a true amazed, there is only one who we gelease about.
