01:03Let's face it, Kate, you're a girl, and there isn't a girl in the world who could beat me at anti-grab racquetball!
01:09LJ, the only thing more fragile than your racquetball game is your ego!
01:13Serve!
01:14Serve!
01:15Don't forget that this girl was the national amateur champion last year!
01:28The key word is amateur!
01:30Are you still gonna like me if I win?
01:33Probably not!
01:34Oh, I missed!
01:35The winner and still champion, LJ the Magnificent!
01:36Don't feel bad, Kate.
01:37I mean, you're really a good player, for a girl.
01:38Oh, give me a break, LJ!
01:39Winning isn't everything!
01:40Besides, as long as you're my girl, you're the biggest winner in Central City!
01:41That's it!
01:42Stop the bike!
01:43Hey, what's your problem?
01:44First of all, I'm not your girl!
01:45I am my own person!
01:46Secondly, I let you win that racquetball game!
01:47You what?
01:48Good night, LJ!
01:49Oh, women!
01:50Oh, women!
01:51Oh!
01:52Oh!

02:26Oh!
02:27Oh!
02:28Oh!
02:29Hey!
02:30Hey, lady!
02:31You need a ride?
02:32No, thank you.
02:36Hey!
02:37What do you think you're doing?!
02:39Let go of me!
02:40Help!
02:41Help! Somebody, please, help me!
03:03I just don't understand it.
03:05Kate went supernova on me just because I called her my girl.
03:08Chill out, LJ. You didn't say anything wrong.
03:11It seems to me that Kate had every reason to be upset.
03:13If you have any brains at all, LJ, you will apologize for being a dope and ask her out on another date.
03:19What are you talking about? I didn't do anything wrong, I just...
03:22Hi, LJ. Listen, I'm sorry about last night.
03:25Don't mention it.
03:26I was hoping we could go out again tonight.
03:29Uh, I... Well, sure.
03:32Great! Maybe Rick and Jenna would like to join us?
03:34It's fine by me.
03:35Good idea!
03:36Okay, your man will pick you up at seven.
03:39I wonder why Kate's wearing sunglasses indoors.
03:42Yeah, I was wondering about that, too.
03:44She probably cried herself to sleep last night over the thought of losing me.
03:48Somehow, I doubt that.
03:50That is one very frightening demonstration.
04:02You can say that again.
04:03The new laser cannons onboard the space station can take out an entire city.
04:07I truly hope we never have to use this weapon.
04:11Now, here are what I call some very fine-looking young people.
04:15Thanks, Dad.
04:16Uh, I want to introduce everybody to my lady, Kate.
04:19Hi, Kate. How do you do?
04:20How did the space station experiment go, Dad?
04:22Fine, son. Just fine.
04:24No, Kisa.
04:27I'm terribly sorry, Kate. I don't know what's gotten into her.
04:32Oh, that's okay, Jedha. She doesn't know me.
04:34Come on, we're wasting goodnight, Father.
04:35Yeah, let's get this party on the road. See you, everybody.
04:38Bye.
04:39Bye.
04:40Enjoy yourself.
04:41Have you two heroes made a decision on where you're taking us?
04:44I have a suggestion. I know it sounds silly, but could we go up to the space station?
04:50Tonight?
04:51I would really love to, LJ. It will be my first time in space, and it would be wonderful to experience it with you.
04:59I, uh, I don't know, Kate. Um...
05:02It would be so... romantic.
05:06Lady, that's the magic word.
05:08Hey, Rick, what do you say we take Kate up to the station?
05:10I don't know, LJ. It's against regulations to take unauthorized personnel up there.
05:15Rick's right, LJ.
05:17Oh, come on, you guys. What harm can it do?
05:19She thinks it's... romantic.
05:22Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt anything.
05:24What do you think, Jedha?
05:25Okay, I guess.
05:27Thank you, LJ. This should be... unforgettable.
05:33To think you have this all the time, LJ. Space is so beautiful.
05:43It really is, Kate.
05:45Funny, sometimes we take things for granted.
05:48Oh, Tiffender Space Station coming up.
05:50This is so exciting. Is there anyone inside?
05:54Nah, the whole shebang is run by a computer system called Dynac X.
05:58Will Dynac X alert your parents when we enter the station?
06:01I don't want anyone to get in trouble on account of me.
06:04Good point, Kate. Relax. I'll shut down, Dynac, and nobody will be the wiser.
06:09I don't know, Rick.
06:10No big deal, Jedha. Just for a few minutes.
06:15This is perfect.
06:17Perfect for romance?
06:19No. Perfect for military conquest.
06:22Huh?
06:27What are you guys doing? Practicing karate?
06:30Hey, hey, put me down! What's the big idea?
06:33I've heard of playing hard to get, but...
06:38What? You're not Kate!
06:40Who are you?
06:45You're a fast person!
06:56I'm not your girl anymore, LJ.
06:59Now I belong to...
07:01Ming the Merciless.
07:08Kate! What's happening?
07:10Kate's a frost person. Look at her eyes.
07:13I have obeyed my master.
07:16Ming?
07:18It'll be okay, Rick.
07:20Ming's ship will be incinerated by Dynac's defense systems.
07:23Look, Romeo. I disconnected Dynac. Remember?
07:32I tell you, Mandrake, I was born 150 years too late. I should've been a cowboy.
07:37Nice shot, Tex.
07:40Attention! Attention!
07:42All operating systems have been shut down on board the space station.
07:46What could've happened?
07:47Come on, let's get the Phantom and Lothar and take a look.
07:50I'm s-so-cold.
07:59It's okay, Jedha. You're gonna be alright.
08:02How could something that started out so great end up like this?
08:06Because you are a foolish young man, like your father, who will soon meet the same untimely end.
08:12Ming!
08:16Rick, no!
08:20Very amusing.
08:24What is it you want, Ming?
08:27Wrong. I want nothing.
08:30Thanks to you, I now have the weapon to bring mankind to its knees.
08:36The new laser cannon.
08:39Precisely.
08:40Kate, please listen to me.
08:44I don't know what Ming's done to you, but you've got to help us.
08:49I serve Ming.
08:56I'm sure the computer shutdown is just some sort of glitch in the system.
08:59Strange that Dynac didn't project this glitch, Flash.
09:02Looks like we have some uninvited guests.
09:05I'm a bit concerned as to why Ming's robo-ships are loitering in this area.
09:09I wonder if there could be any connection with the shutdown of our space station's computer system.
09:14How could that be?
09:16Four of Ming's robo-ships closing in fast!
09:19Let's show them a little Defender-style hospitality.
09:23What are you waiting for, Garax?
09:29Destroy them!
09:30Prepare to fire on signal!
09:32Abandon the attack!
09:33Hold up!
09:34Hold up!
09:35Hold up!
09:36Hold up!
09:37Now it's my turn!
09:38Hold on to your hand, Mandrake!
09:39Again?
09:40Lothar, let's give these robo-turkeys a taste of the laser sword!
09:41You've got it, Flash!
09:42Number four!
09:43Take evasive action!
09:44Take evasive action!
09:46You fool!
09:47Ming does not retreat!
09:48Attack!
09:49Attack!
09:50Attack!
09:51Attack!
09:52Attack!
09:53Probo-ships two and three!
09:54Close ranks with number one!
09:55Destroy the Defender-sword-ship!
09:56Destroy the Defender-sword-ship!
09:57You've got it, Flash!
09:58Number four!
09:59Take evasive action!
10:00You fool!
10:01Ming does not retreat!
10:02Attack!
10:03Attack!
10:04Attack!
10:05Attack!
10:06Attack!
10:07Attack!
10:08Attack!
10:09Attack!
10:10You fool!
10:11Ming does not retreat!
10:12Attack!
10:13Attack!
10:14Attack!
10:15Attack!
10:16Probo-ships two and three!
10:17Close ranks with number one!
10:19Destroy the Defender-sword-ship!
10:24Fire!
10:25Fire!
10:26Fire!
10:37On guard!
10:44No!
10:46Activate the space station's laser cannon!
10:48Quickly!
10:49Laser cannon activated!
11:07Hold on!
11:11Hold on!
11:14I couldn't let all of you die without first thanking you for your new laser cannon!
11:20It will be most helpful in my becoming emperor of your Earth!
11:25Oh no, you...
11:26Oh!
11:27One last message for Flash!
11:31We cannot allow Ming to turn that laser cannon against Earth!
11:35All will be destroyed!
11:37There's only one way to stop him!
11:39We must destroy the space station!
11:41Excuse my ignorance, but in a few seconds we will all be ancient history!
11:45How do you propose we destroy the space station?
11:47There's a doomsday device we can trigger by remote control!
11:50It'll blow the space station, the laser cannon, and Ming right into the history books with us!
11:55What do you say?
11:56We have no choice!
11:58Do it!
11:59Do it!
12:00It's done!
12:05Man, without wings, this sucker flies like a rock!
12:11That is very reassuring, Flash!
12:13Just wanna keep you guys up to date!
12:15Hey, wait a minute!
12:16It can't fly, but maybe it can spin!
12:19A helicopter prop!
12:21Why not?
12:22We got nothing to lose!
12:23We made it!
12:24You guys weren't worried, were you?
12:25Attention, companions!
12:26Attention!
12:27Dynak, old girl, what's up?
12:29Last transmission from Ming has been retrieved!
12:30Play it back, Dynak!
12:31Oh, one last message for Flash, Phantom and Lothar!
12:33I thought you might like to know that I had your children imprisoned on the space station!
12:46I had planned on using them as hostages, but now that you are about to leave, you're
12:51going to keep you in the way!
12:53I thought you might like to know that I have your children imprisoned on the space station.
12:58I had planned on using them as hostages, but now that you are about to die,
13:04I will just transform them into mindless slaves.
13:15We've sentenced our own children to die.
13:23The doomsday weapon is on countdown.
13:27There's got to be a way to turn it off.
13:29Once armed, the device can only be deactivated from inside the space station.
13:35Then we go to the space station.
13:37We'll never get near the place with that laser cannon hammering away at us.
13:42I have an idea that might solve that problem.
13:45What about another ship?
13:47There's a military base near here.
13:48I think the base commander will lend us a ship.
13:50We can't just sit here.
13:54We've got to do something.
13:55If you want to tangle with that energy field, be my guest.
13:59I think I can get us out of here.
14:01How?
14:02By redirecting the energy beams off these reflecting stones.
14:05How do you plan on redirecting them all?
14:07I don't have to redirect them all.
14:09Just one.
14:10Watch.
14:13Incredible.
14:14You did it.
14:15But what do we do about that?
14:16What?
14:20Two big cubes are guarding the elevator.
14:31Bait and hook?
14:32Good idea.
14:34I'll be the bait.
14:35You guys be the hook.
14:36Hey!
14:37Glacier heads!
14:38Over here!
14:39Let's go!
14:55Please step to the rear of the elevator.
15:01I have a plan that just may help us reactivate Dynac-X and contact Monitor.
15:06Jetta, you're the best.
15:08I've got to find Kate.
15:10I understand.
15:11Get going.
15:13Why haven't your troops found those miserable children?
15:18We will find them, sire.
15:19They cannot escape.
15:21What is that?
15:24It is nothing.
15:25Just space debris.
15:26Have your robots continue to scan our perimeter?
15:30You come with me.
15:33Yes, sire.
15:33How much time do we have left?
15:39Not much.
15:41Let's move out.
15:45Intruder alert.
15:47Corridor number three.
15:56You still have to get into the command center.
15:58You still have to get into the command center.
16:03Kate, you've got to listen to me.
16:05You are an enemy of Ming.
16:08Kate, please.
16:09It's me, LJ.
16:11Remember?
16:11The guy you always let win Zero-G racquetball games?
16:15I'm your friend, LJ.
16:16You must listen to me.
16:18There still is time.
16:20Ming is trying to take control of your mind.
16:22LJ?
16:23Yeah, LJ.
16:25You've got to fight him, Kate.
16:27Fight him for the both of us.
16:28LJ?
16:29Yeah, you're doing it.
16:31You're doing it, Kate.
16:32Fool.
16:33You think your earthly emotions can overcome Ming's command?
16:38Destroy this earthling.
16:43Earthling?
16:43Kate, remember what you told me?
16:47You said that you were not my girl.
16:50That you were your own person.
16:52Well, if that's true, then you don't belong to Ming either.
16:56Do as I command.
16:59Don't give in to him, Kate.
17:04Destroy them both.
17:06Smile when you say that.
17:12How can this be?
17:14I have the strangest feeling Ming is not particularly glad to see us.
17:21They're gone.
17:22I can't believe we fell for such a tacky little magic trick.
17:28Son, are you two okay?
17:30Yeah.
17:31We're fine now, Dad.
17:33Thanks.
17:34One minute and ten seconds.
17:35Let's move it.
17:36What can I do?
17:37Take care of Kate.
17:39I'll catch up with you later.
17:40I hope.
17:53Thirty-eight seconds.
18:01Thirty seconds.
18:05Lothar, you've got to get me down to floor level right away.
18:31The Phantom's not going to make it in time.
18:34Cover me.
18:45Hang on.
18:46I'm not going to make it.
18:59I should have been a cowboy.
19:06Ming escaped while we were deactivating the doomsday device.
19:14How are you feeling now, Kate?
19:17I'm fine, thank you.
19:19And I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.
19:21This was not your doing, my dear.
19:23You were simply the pawn in a much bigger game.
19:26If there's one thing I've learned, Mandrake,
19:29it's that Kate's nobody's pawn.
19:31She's her own person.
19:32That's good, because she's going to be on her own,
19:36or at least without your company, for quite some time.
19:40What do you mean, Dad?
19:42You broke regulations by coming up here,
19:44which means you are grounded, LJ.
19:47Oh, no.
19:48Hey, tough break, lover boy.
19:51Better luck next time, LJ.
19:52Don't laugh.
19:54You're grounded, too.
19:56As are you, Jedha.
19:58Oh, no.
20:01Man, it's a cold world.
20:04But a little love can really warm it up.
20:06I don't know.
