02:13As you command, my great prince.
02:23There is one on Earth who can help you.
02:25Where can I find this Earthling?
02:27In Africa.
02:29He can help you make Earth into the new Mongo.
02:38What's the world situation, Dynak?
02:40Condition normal, Flash.
02:43No unusual energy readings, no approaching starships?
02:46Negative.
02:48Hmm.
02:49You may as well face it, Flash.
02:50With Ming molecularized, our work here is,
02:53as you would say, a piece of cake.
02:55And where are you two going?
02:57I thought I'd take Kashin on a tour of the world.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Till now, the only places I've seen have been under attack.
03:04Have a good time, and don't worry.
03:05Zuffy and I will keep each other company.
03:13Ah, planet Earth.
03:15Soon you will be mine.
03:16All mine.
03:26Now for a more suitable appearance.
03:28Let Grotan play his little games.
03:33My time is coming.
03:35And soon, I will regain Ming's molecules.
03:40I grow tired of waiting, Sir Elder.
03:44I have been captive here for eons.
03:48Patience, mighty Siramong.
03:53Soon you will be free.
04:01It's quiet out there.
04:02Too quiet.
04:03Come on, Flash.
04:05We're looking forward to a peaceful weekend.
04:07Well, I've got this funny feeling Crotan's still out there somewhere.
04:12Crotan's back on Mongo, playing Emperor over his new subjects.
04:16Where are you two going?
04:17Home, to Africa.
04:19To assist Jetta's friend, Tad Walton.
04:21Tad heads a scientific expedition seeking new forms of energy.
04:25I wish there was some way I could help.
04:27There is, Flash.
04:28Here's a supply of Kisa's food.
04:32Kisa?
04:33You don't mind, do you, Flash?
04:38No.
04:39Goodbye, Flash.
04:40Bye, Flash.
04:41See you later.
04:42Well, I guess it's just you and me, guys.
04:47I'm sorry, Tad.
04:48We have to withdraw our funds.
04:49There have been no results.
04:51But we are so close, Professor Kuru.
04:53Of all the countries on the globe, Gotoh has the most volcanic activity.
04:57It's an unlimited supply of free energy.
04:59I know it's there.
05:01My firm will not support you any longer.
05:03They feel your theory is a pipe dream.
05:07It's not a pipe dream.
05:08It's real.
05:10Why can't I get anyone to believe me?
05:12I believe you, Tad.
05:14Who are you?
05:15Someone who can make your dream a reality.
05:18Mandrake invited LJ and me to join him on his world cruise.
05:22Want to come along?
05:23No.
05:24Someone's got to stay here in case there's an emergency.
05:26Flash.
05:27Ever since we shot the Moleculizer into space, there's been no trouble.
05:31That's just what scares me.
05:33Well, have fun.
05:36So long, Dad.
05:41Don't tell me you're leaving, too.
05:43I'm going to the library.
05:44I've got homework to do.
05:46Oh, maybe I should take a little trip myself.
05:50I know.
05:51I'll go check out the Gorphs.
05:53They're always up to no good.
05:54Zuffy, take care of Kisa.
05:56Dynak, tell Rick not to wait up for me.
05:58The Earth's crust is only a few hundred meters thick here.
06:04And beneath it lies limitless geothermal energy.
06:08You're a genius, Tad.
06:10We're going to need diggers, vent housings, turbines.
06:13It's going to take a lot of money.
06:15I'll be right back.
06:23This should cover all our costs.
06:26My business affairs leave me little time for my native village phantom.
06:32What is it that is so important?
06:34Your shaman asked me to bring you here.
06:36Gobutu, wabise, wabise paraganto.
06:39He says someone is trying to stab the Earth.
06:48What are those?
06:49Oh, just some special exhaust vents I designed.
06:53But trust me, Tad.
06:56The Regalian Pleasure Dome, hangout of the worst scum in the galaxy.
07:09Someone here must need me, even if only to put them behind bars.
07:13Let's see if there's any excitement at the Toxorama.
07:17I know drones can't be trusted.
07:28I know drones ate one of my Star Destroyers.
07:31I say get rid of him.
07:37All right, hold it.
07:38Anyone who wants to tangle with this little fellow is going to have to tangle with me.
07:43Come on, fellas.
07:44Look at the size of this little guy.
07:46Move aside, Earthling.
07:48Don't you know what that thing is?
07:50It is?
07:51Yeah.
07:52Scared.
07:53It's a Hynodrone.
07:54Well, everybody's got to be something.
07:56What's a Hynodrone?
07:57What asteroid have you been hiding on?
08:00Hey, what are you doing?
08:02Now who's gonna pay for this mess?
08:18Gotta go.
08:19Double park.
08:22I never expected to see you here, Jedha.
08:28But I heard you were having some hard times,
08:30and I thought, well, maybe my father and I could help you out.
08:33So, Jedda Walker is a friend of Tad Walton.
08:37This will ensure that Jedda Walker will cause no trouble.
08:46All you ever did was feel sorry for me.
08:49Well, you don't have to bother anymore.
08:51I've got someone here who believes in me.
08:53Hello. I'm Jedda Walker.
08:55I'm afraid you must leave.
08:57We have much work to do.
08:59Have we met before?
09:01I highly doubt it, young lady.
09:03Goodbye.
09:04Goodbye.
09:05I'll see you later, Tad.
09:08I couldn't possibly have anything to do with all this, Phantom.
09:12Then why does the shaman think you do?
09:22Now, to harness the power of the Earth's core,
09:25Tad Walton, this is your moment.
09:28Savor it.
09:30Turbines on!
09:40Phantom, what is happening?
09:41Help!
09:42There is enough natural energy down there to change the world.
09:52That's just what I had in mind.
09:55Kuru!
09:58What the devil's going on here?
10:13Think, man. Think! Was your firm involved in any geological exploration?
10:20There was a young man. He had a crazy idea about digging near here for geothermal power. Hang on.
10:33Crotan!
10:34Your jungle senses are as sharp as ever, Jeddah.
10:39I knew it was you!
10:40What do you want with Tad Walton?
10:42His mind. His ideas.
10:44I'll tell Tad all about you. He'll believe me.
10:47No, you won't. Because of this.
10:50This is a mind bomb triggered by my brainwave frequency.
10:56One of those devices is planted on your dear Tad Walton.
11:02So stay far away from him.
11:04It would be a shame if something happened to such a bright young man.
11:13I fear it has begun.
11:14You are right, Phantom. Someone is putting Tad Walton's plan to work.
11:19Tad Walton?
11:20Yes, the young man I was telling you about.
11:22He's tapped into an unlimited source of energy, giving him more power than all the bombs in the world put together.
11:28Guru, look for a way to sabotage the operation.
11:32I'll be back shortly.
11:40Looks like someone's in trouble.
11:42This is a job for Flash Gordon.
11:52Alright. Hand over all your iron filings.
11:58Hold it right there.
12:01If you're messing with them, then you're messing with Flash Gordon.
12:05One target is as good as another.
12:07A GORP! Oh no!
12:25Father!
12:26I thought I'd find you here, Jenna.
12:28What does Tad Walton have to do with all this?
12:30Not as much as Crotan.
12:33So he's the one who's pulling power from the Earth's core.
12:37For what reason?
12:38I'm not sure.
12:39But these look like rocket jets.
12:42We have got to alert the other defenders.
12:47No good.
12:48No.
12:49No.
12:50Aha!
12:51Come out of there, Gordon.
12:52Before I come in and get you.
12:57Flash.
12:58Earth is in great danger.
12:59Crotan's here.
13:00Come at once.
13:01Oh.
13:02I should've stayed home with Zuffy and Kesa.
13:04Don't you ever give up?
13:13Hate to leave you hanging, Gorp, but I gotta go.
13:16I'll get you by this, Gordon, if it's the last thing I do.
13:21Oh.
13:29Ah, Paris in the spring.
13:36Can we take a boat ride on the Seine?
13:38Defenders, this is the Phantom. Come in.
13:41What is it, Phantom?
13:42Crotan's back.
13:46Tad doesn't know who he's mixed up with.
13:48We've got to warn him.
13:49We can't, Father.
13:50Crotan has planted a mind bomb on Tad.
13:53It's controlled by Crotan's thoughts.
14:03Father, what's that?
14:04A Mongo transport ship.
14:06Ah, my reinforcements from Mongo have arrived.
14:10If Sweet Cheddar contacts the Defenders,
14:13my creatures will take care of them.
14:27I've radioed Rick.
14:28He's on his way.
14:29What's going on?
14:30Crotan has tapped into the Earth's core
14:32to power those thrusters.
14:35He's going to literally transport the Earth to Mongo.
14:38All life on this planet will be wiped out.
14:41Crotan is going to turn Earth into the new Mongo.
14:44But how can you fly a whole planet through space
14:46just by digging a hole in it?
14:48Pretend your balloon is the Earth,
14:50and this represents the thrusters.
14:52Well, what are we waiting for?
15:02We've got to distract Crotan so I can get that mind bomb off of Tad.
15:09Maybe this will get his attention.
15:16So, the Defenders have arrived.
15:18Soon they will have their hands full with the man-bats of Mongo.
15:24Here we go.
15:29It should be a simple task to sabotage those main turbines,
15:32but we have no tools.
15:33Oh, yes, we do.
15:34By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers.
15:41I'll take care of him.
16:02I'll take care of him.
16:13Hey, let go!
16:14What on Earth?
16:29Put me down!
16:31Put me down!
16:34MJ, cash in!
16:36Hang on, boys.
16:37I'm on my way.
16:44I'm on my way.
16:49That ought to hold them.
16:54Or perhaps not.
16:56These can't be part of the generator.
16:58What are they?
16:59Jetta, what's the matter with you?
17:01Tad, you have a mind bomb planted on you somewhere.
17:04Who would plant a bomb on me?
17:06Your benefactor.
17:07Why would he do something like that?
17:09To keep me from telling you who he really is.
17:12Yeah, right.
17:14So who is he?
17:15Prince Crotan, the son of Ming the Merciless.
17:22Now tell me, Tad, where are the controls for that thing?
17:25Mandrin!
17:36Back off, bats!
17:38Sorry to drop in so unexpectedly.
17:51That should do it.
17:53Now, let's get out of here.
17:55You see, Father, I am the master of Earth now.
18:06We're too late!
18:12The Earth is doomed.
18:14Shut it up, Crotan!
18:16Crotan!
18:19I ordered you to stay away from him.
18:22And nobody defies Crotan.
18:25Not even you, dear Jedha.
18:28Farewell, Tad.
18:30Tad, run!
18:31How clever of you, Jedha.
18:44But it always pays to have an alternate plan up your sleeve.
18:49No!
18:50Ow!
18:51Tesky mosquito!
18:52Come on.
18:53We've got to find Crotan.
18:54Now, sweet Jedha.
18:55You're coming with me.
18:56Why?
18:57You may have stopped me from destroying the Earth.
18:58But I can now destroy your friends with a mere thought.
18:59And the only thing that will keep them alive is your total obedience.
19:04Oh!
19:05Oh!
19:06Oh!
19:07Oh!
19:08Oh!
19:09Where's Crotan?
19:10Let me at him.
19:11Where have you been?
19:12I know.
19:13I know.
19:14And the only thing that will keep them alive is your total obedience.
19:16And I know.
19:17Oh!
19:18Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:20Oh!
19:21Oh!
19:22Oh!
19:23Oh!
19:24Oh!
19:25Oh!
19:26Oh!
19:27Oh!
19:28Oh!
19:29Oh!
19:30Oh!
19:32Oh!
19:33Oh!
19:34Oh!
19:35Oh!
19:36Oh!
19:37Oh!
19:38Oh! Oh!
19:39You missed everything.
19:41Oh, this just isn't my day.
19:44Still, it's good to have the old team together again, huh?
19:48Yes, except we're short one member.
19:51Jetta's gone.
19:55Where are we?
19:58Why, the Imperial Palace of Mongo, of course.
20:05Where you will soon become my bride.
20:09Where you will soon become my bride.
20:39Where you will soon become my bride.
20:46Where you will soon become my bride.
20:49You will soon become my bride.
