01:00Defenders of the Earth!
01:08El eje is attacking! Run for your lives!
01:11Conforced us!
01:12I'm out of here.
01:42This is Ramon Viejo, President of Esmeralda.
01:47We are under attack.
01:49Please help.
01:57What is it you want?
02:00Garax, allow me to introduce you to the ex-President of Esmeralda.
02:05Now, according to my bargain with Ming the Merciless, I will rule Esmeralda.
02:14Yes, but first Ming must have your workers and your blue orchids.
02:27Would you like to come over this afternoon, Carlotta?
02:32Dynac X could help us with our chemistry assignment.
02:34Dynac X?
02:35She's a giant computer.
02:37She?
02:38You're right.
02:38She's really not a person, but at times she really seems like a person.
02:42She sounds very interesting.
02:44And you could meet my dad.
02:45You'd really like him.
02:46We could...
02:46Hi, Rick.
02:47Oh, hi, Jedha.
02:49This is Carlotta Viejo, her father's President of Esmeralda.
02:53Carlotta Viejo, come to the principal's office.
02:56Carlotta Viejo, to the office, please.
02:58I wonder what they could want.
03:00Nice to meet you, Jedha.
03:01I will meet Dynac after school, Rick.
03:04Yeah, yeah, sure.
03:06See ya.
03:08Anything you say.
03:15What's the matter, Carlotta?
03:17Something wrong?
03:18Something is very wrong on Esmeralda.
03:21I must leave her home immediately.
03:23But all flights have been canceled.
03:25Carlotta, what is it?
03:26There has been a revolution in my country.
03:29Then you'll never get a flight home.
03:30I'm afraid Rick is right, Carlotta.
03:32It could be very dangerous.
03:34But I must see my father.
03:36I must return to Esmeralda.
03:38I'll take you.
03:39You get ready and I'll be by in half an hour.
03:41The island is really beautiful, Carlotta.
03:50What's that giant patch of blue at the base of the glacier?
03:53Those are the rare blue orchids.
03:55Carlotta, you'll stay undercover here in this hotel.
04:10A friend of mine owns this hotel.
04:12She will keep our secret.
04:14Oh, Señorita Vallejo, you are in great danger.
04:17You should not have returned.
04:19Señora Diaz, tell me all you know.
04:22Oh, el jefe has taken your father to his camp.
04:25And the emperor, Ming the Merciless, has taken all our water.
04:30Ming? Why?
04:31I have heard he uses the blue orchids to make something called frost serum.
04:37I'd better call the defenders.
04:39I do not think so, Señor Rick Gordon.
04:43Who are you?
04:44Quiet!
04:46Ah, so nice to see you, my dear.
04:48Take him!
04:58Find Carlotta Vallejo!
05:06The girl has escaped, el jefe!
05:09No matter!
05:10We will find her!
05:11She is an enemy of the people!
05:12When she is found, she and her young friend will be treated like all our enemies!
05:19Go to the palace!
05:20We will see how this gringo likes the dungeon!
05:23The first sample of the frost serum is ready, sire!
05:47If this serum works as expected, I will be able to turn all earthlings into frost people at one time.
05:57I want to see a test.
06:04Excellent!
06:05Is the transformation permanent?
06:07Not yet.
06:08The formula only transforms them for two days.
06:12We must have colder temperatures to extend its usefulness.
06:16Then lower the temperature.
06:19But, sire, if temperatures are lowered any further, it may create major weather disasters.
06:25I said do it!
06:27Soon the earthlings will be my frost slaves and destroy the defenders and all who defy me.
06:33Sensors indicate an unseasonal lowering of temperatures in the Caribbean, centering on the island of Esmeralda.
06:43That's where Rick and Carlisle are!
06:45The continuing drop in temperature will cause destructive tidal waves and earthquakes.
06:50If uncorrected, these conditions will affect the entire globe.
06:55I think there's more than a revolution taking place on Esmeralda.
06:58Jedha and I will get the terry ready.
07:00Mandrake and Lothar, stay here and keep watch for signs of Ming.
07:04You can depend on us, flash old boy.
07:17I never thought I'd see a glacier in the Caribbean.
07:21How'd he get here?
07:23Ming!
07:24Perhaps he will take you to him!
07:27Hands up!
07:28Call El Hefe and tell him we have the defenders!
07:32Calling El Hefe!
07:34Calling El Hefe!
07:48Defenders!
07:49You will put your lives into the hands of my soldiers!
07:52You are not welcoming Esmeralda!
07:54This is not your war!
07:56If you disobey...
07:57Hey, Gordon will be destroyed!
08:05Why don't we just go in and get Rick?
08:07I know how you feel, L.J.
08:08But if Ming is involved, then we're being watched.
08:12Flash is right.
08:13We'd only jeopardize Rick's safety.
08:15We'll go in by parafoil tonight.
08:17You won't scare the defenders.
08:24You won't scare the defenders.
08:26They'll find a way to rescue me.
08:28That's just what Ming wants, gringo.
08:33Buy my pretty flowers for your wives and sweethearts.
08:40Rick!
08:41Rick!
08:42Carlotta!
08:43Carlotta!
08:44El Hefe and Ming have set a trap for the defenders.
08:47I have to get out tonight!
08:49Hey, flower lady!
08:50Move on!
08:51I must go!
08:52Hey, gringo!
09:02You hungry?
09:03Dinner time!
09:04Que pasa!
09:06The gringo!
09:07He has escaped!
09:12You look like you could use a nice, long rest.
09:16Enjoy your dinner!
09:25Rick!
09:26Over here!
09:32There's a truck around the corner.
09:34We must be careful!
09:36Good.
09:37But I have to get to a radio and warn the defenders about Ming's trap.
09:41It's not possible.
09:42All communications on the island are in El Jefe's hands.
09:51Give me El Jefe!
09:52Okay.
09:56Get jeeps!
09:58Get trucks!
10:00Get half-structs!
10:01We must not let them escape!
10:09Uh-oh.
10:10Behind you!
10:11Get down!
10:11You fools let him escape!
10:21But it was El Jefe's man, sire!
10:24Silence!
10:25The defenders must not find out Rick Gordon has escaped until they come to rescue him.
10:31I will be there soon, Garrix.
10:34These parafoils will deflect any radar beam.
10:41Do we have to jump?
10:43You're not afraid of, uh, little height, are you, El Jefe?
10:47Little heights don't bother me.
10:49It's the big ones.
10:50I'll program Terry to submerge in the ocean and resurface in San Felipe Harbor.
10:55If all goes as planned, the four of us will have Rick out in no time.
10:59All clear.
11:19Let's move!
11:20Excellent, Garrix.
11:31Take the defenders to the ice caves and lock them up.
11:35As you command, sire.
11:37Load them into transports.
11:39Oh, no!
11:50Out of gas!
11:51We can't outrun them.
11:53But nothing says we can't slow them down.
11:56Faster, faster!
11:58They must not get away!
12:04Ah!
12:05Get me down, you fools!
12:11Get me down!
12:20I will look this way!
12:22You look over there!
12:24El Jefe's men!
12:25Carlotta, come on, let's go!
12:28It's time for another surprise for El Jefe.
12:32Cut ten splinters this long.
12:34What are you making?
12:36An army.
12:40Help!
12:41Help!
12:50Ambush!
12:51Pull back!
12:52Regroup!
12:55See fire!
12:59Cut him down!
13:01Idiots!
13:02Fools!
13:04Are you all right?
13:14Have they hurt you?
13:17This is Rick Gordon, father.
13:19He is here to help us.
13:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
13:22But, um, we'd better be going.
13:24What?
13:26Seize then.
13:27The great Ming has honored me by turning me into a man of frost.
13:34Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
13:35Good.
13:36Bring them to the ice caves.
13:39The defenders will witness my total triumph.
13:42Triumph!
13:43Now the island is mine.
13:48Would you, Carlotta, like to come and rule by my side?
13:54Never live in here!
13:55Leave her alone, you creep!
13:57Your father is in Ming's hands, as are the rest of the defenders.
14:01No, it's not true.
14:03It can't be.
14:04You speak bravely for a condemned man.
14:07Wait till my father and the defense see for yourself.
14:12What are we going to do, Rick?
14:15I don't know.
14:17I don't know.
14:24I come from Ming.
14:26He demands that the prisoners be brought to him.
14:29Where is the boy?
14:31Boy?
14:31Ah, the one captured with Carlotta Vallejo.
14:34They are at our jungle headquarters.
14:36Why does the Emperor Ming want the prisoners?
14:39Hand them over to me.
14:41Or should the Emperor talk to you himself?
14:44Ah, where are you taking us?
14:52We're taking you home, as soon as we mop up here a bit.
14:59We are going to make puddles of those ice robots.
15:03Pop, am I glad to see you.
15:05What took you so long?
15:07When we didn't hear from you, Mandrick and I said,
15:10how about a little Caribbean son?
15:12Does anyone know where Rick is?
15:13They have been taken to a mercenary camp in the jungle.
15:17They?
15:18Ah, tracks of men and ice robots.
15:21They lead that way, perhaps to a camp.
15:24The prisoners have escaped!
15:27Uh-oh.
15:28After them!
15:29They're not far behind.
15:30We'd better get moving.
15:31What are you doing?
15:36Putting a bit of a scare into them.
15:45It was just an illusion.
15:50There are too many of them for a direct assault.
15:52We might have some allies.
16:02Come to me.
16:04We need your help.
16:05Come to me.
16:06How about a little nap?
16:22Get these creatures off me!
16:30Glad to oblige.
16:34Tell your men to surrender.
16:36Put down your weapons.
16:37You guys missed all the fun.
16:49That's my father!
16:51You must help him!
16:54He was given the frost serum.
16:56It seems to be wearing off.
16:57Your father will be all right, Carlotta.
17:00Monkeys!
17:01We were beaten by monkeys!
17:03What did you expect?
17:04Look who they were fighting!
17:06The defenders have escaped!
17:09Load the frost serum.
17:11I'll deal with you later.
17:13We cannot move the serum.
17:15It is not yet stable, sire.
17:17Have the ice robots plant the thermite bombs around the glacier.
17:21As you command.
17:23The ice robots in the caves await your orders.
17:26Prepare to lift off.
17:28Give me the detonator.
17:33The defenders may have survived.
17:45The people of Esmeralda will never know what hit them.
17:55I need my sense head.
17:56We've got to get the Terry here.
17:58We have one chance to stop that avalanche.
18:06The solar mirror on our satellite.
18:08You are going to use the sun's rays to melt the avalanche?
18:11I'm afraid it won't be enough to melt that large an avalanche.
18:15It's all we've got.
18:16Rick, you get Dynac X to link up with the satellite.
18:19Carlotta, you and Jedha help get your people on board the Terry.
18:22Hurry!
18:39Hurry!
18:40In here!
18:41Hurry!
18:42Hurry!
18:42In here!
18:43Hurry!
18:47Got it!
18:48The satellite mirror is programmed and ready to go.
18:50Looks like nothing can stop the avalanche.
19:13I was sure the solar mirror would cause a meltdown.
19:16It's not stopping.
19:18San Felipe is right in the path of the avalanche and all will be destroyed.
19:22It's gonna state it pouring out.
19:23It's gonna stand without responses.
19:24It's gonna steal the fire.
19:41Bring them out!
19:47It's gonna be straight.
19:47I'm right.
19:49I'd like to hitch a ride back to Central City with you, Rick.
20:00He thought you'd never ask.
20:19He thought you'd never ask.
20:49He thought you'd never ask.
