01:05Come on, Rick! Move it! Move it!
01:07Let's see some hustle!
01:12If this were real Flash, the boy would look like Swiss cheese!
01:17Don't listen to him, Rick! You're doing great!
01:19Watch your flank, Rick! Watch your flank!
01:21Are we done yet?
01:34Not quite!
01:35Too late, son. Your history!
01:37Hey, wait! That's not fair!
01:39Fair? When's the last time Ming fought fair?
01:40I know, but...
01:41No buts! You still have flight simulator practice to get through!
01:43But, Dad, I have to study for a test tomorrow, and then I gotta finish installing the new early warning system in Dynac X!
01:47Flash, maybe we should give Rick the rest of the deal!
01:48Maybe we should give Rick the rest of the deal!
01:49Nah, the boy can take it! After all, he is the one and only son of Flash Gordon!
01:57Don't push her! Let the throttle out! Ease her over! More! More!
02:14Dad, I'm really tired and I've still got work to do!
02:18Robo ship! Twelve o'clock!
02:2012 o'clock.
02:22Pull up! Pull up!
02:24Snap roll, quick! Snap roll!
02:27What? I don't understand.
02:33Hey, I know what I'm doing.
02:35I just need room to breathe, okay?
02:37That's not like Rick at all.
02:38I wonder what's gotten into him.
02:46Rick, would you please stay?
02:48I'd like to talk to you.
02:49Uh, sure.
02:50You guys go on. I'll catch up.
02:53We've got a problem, Rick.
02:54F? I got an F?
02:57A, this must be a mistake.
02:59Oh, there's no mistake.
03:00But I'm a straight A student.
03:02That's why I wanted to talk to you.
03:04What's going on?
03:06There's nothing going on.
03:07Come on, Rick. Let's talk about it.
03:09There's nothing to talk about.
03:12Rick! Rick!
03:16Look where you're walking.
03:17Hey, Rick. What's happening?
03:22Nothing.
03:22Wow, what's bothering you?
03:24I said nothing.
03:25Hey, calm down, buddy.
03:27I just wanted to tell you I scored some great drugs.
03:30I'm giving out free samples to a few of my close friends.
03:33Looks like you could really use some.
03:35Here.
03:36Hey, I don't want any...
03:38Put it away.
03:40Now, trust me.
03:41Whatever ails you have, this stuff is the cure.
03:44Just remember you got it from your old friend, Jerry.
03:47Catch you later.
03:47D-A-R-E.
03:53The letters stand for Drug Abuse Resistance Education.
03:56You can be sure that sooner or later, someone's going to ask you to try drugs.
04:01Remember, you are in control when you say no to drugs.
04:04Look that person right in the eye and just say no.
04:07Okay, thanks for your time.
04:08And remember, D-A-R-E.
04:10Dare to say no to drugs.
04:12What a bunch of garbage.
04:14Yeah, that's garbage.
04:16He didn't know anything else.
04:17What do you mean?
04:19He proved drugs are bad for you.
04:20Come on, Kishin, grow up.
04:22There's nothing wrong with getting high.
04:24Everybody does it.
04:25Kevin, that doesn't make it right.
04:27And besides, not everybody does it.
04:30Kishin, don't be such a wimp.
04:31Here, I'll prove it to you.
04:33I'll get you high and you'll know what I'm talking about.
04:35No, Kevin, no.
04:37Ha!
04:38I knew it, you chicken.
04:40Come on, let's go get high.
04:42So long, chicken.
04:48Dynax's new early warning system gives us a 360-degree view of anything that comes near monitored.
04:54Very impressive, Flash.
04:56Dad, can I talk to you?
04:57Sure, son, go ahead.
04:58Um, it's kind of private.
05:01Must be girl trouble?
05:03You don't understand.
05:04I gotta talk to you.
05:06Listen, Rick, I'm pretty busy right now.
05:08How about we discuss your romantic life a little later?
05:10But, Dad, that's not it.
05:13Yeah, sure.
05:15Okay, Dynax, let's have a look at the radar vectors.
05:25Come on, Zuffy.
05:26Let's ask Rick about drugs.
05:27He'll know.
05:28Gee, maybe the kids at school were right.
05:48Hurry, you fools.
05:50I have work to do.
05:51Yes, mighty name.
05:53Of course, right away.
05:57We followed your directions exactly.
05:59The machine draws raw energy from a parallel dimension.
06:03An energy that can endow beings with immense power.
06:06But there are still problems we did not foresee.
06:10Turn it on as you command, your majesty.
06:15The power is mine.
06:33The power is mine.
06:36The power is mine.
06:37Yes, yes.
06:40I have the power.
06:42And with it, I will destroy the dependents of the earth with my own turn.
06:49Behold the power of Ming the Merciless.
07:12What's happening?
07:22What's going on?
07:23We're under attack!
07:25Hurry up, Rick.
07:26We've got to get you the main computer room.
07:40It's me.
07:41The power is coming right from his hands.
07:45How can that be?
07:46The question is, how did Ming get past Dynak's new early warning system?
07:51What's our situation?
07:53Condition red.
07:54Rick, what happened to the new early warning system?
07:57It's not operational.
07:58No.
07:58I didn't finish installing it.
08:02You what?
08:03I forgot.
08:05There was so much else I had to do.
08:07I'm sorry.
08:09You're sorry?
08:09This could cost us our lives.
08:12This could be the end of the Defenders.
08:14I'm sorry.
08:15I just...
08:16I'll take a sword ship up top and distract Ming while the rest of you rebuild our battle systems.
08:22Dad, I...
08:23Let me explain.
08:25Later, Rick.
08:25Now let's move.
08:28Rick.
08:29No, don't.
08:34Okay, then.
08:44Let's see what you've got.
08:46I am invincible.
08:53It's bad.
09:09I'm going down.
09:11I'll try to leave Ming away from Monitor to buy you some more time.
09:15Good luck.
09:16Monitor is completely disabled.
09:39Should we move in for the kill?
09:40No.
09:42I must destroy Flash Gordon.
09:44I must banquish him in my own hands.
09:46I must...
09:47But your majesty, we came to defeat the Defenders, and they are...
09:51Silence!
09:53Follow Gordon immediately.
09:57Flash's plan worked.
09:59Ming is leaving.
10:00Yes.
10:01But alone, Flash doesn't stand a chance against Ming's new powers.
10:05I have a plan to rescue Flash, but it requires Rick's expertise.
10:09Has anyone seen him?
10:10Have no fear.
10:11Rick is here.
10:13What's the plan, Lothar, baby?
10:15Rick?
10:16Are you feeling all right?
10:18Are you kidding?
10:19I feel fantastic.
10:21Good.
10:22Because for my plan to work, you must take charge of repairing Monitor's defense systems,
10:26while Mandrake, the Phantom, and myself try to find your father.
10:30Not to worry, Lothar.
10:31Everything's under control.
10:33Good.
10:33Then let's get going.
10:35Jetta, LJ, I'm gonna need a lot of fiber optic wiring.
10:39As much as you can find.
10:40You got it, Rick.
10:42What are you looking at?
10:43Nothing.
10:45Nothing.
10:49Man.
10:50I feel so powerful.
11:01No!
11:02I want the pleasure of destroying Flash Gordon myself.
11:08Your highness, are you all right?
11:12My power!
11:13My power is fading!
11:16I need more power!
11:19More power!
11:20Now!
11:21More power!
11:21Now!
11:22I shall put an end to Flash Gordon!
11:30Now, I shall put an end to Flash Gordon.
11:35And now!
11:36I shall put an end to Flash Gordon.
11:38Uh-oh. Company.
11:50You cannot escape me, Black Gordon.
11:56Hey, Mig, you're not giving up, are you?
11:59You give you the worm.
12:08Okay, and now give me the needle-nose pliers.
12:12What'd you give me these for? These are needle-nose pliers.
12:16But that's what you asked for.
12:18I did not.
12:20Ah, forget it. I'm gonna do it myself.
12:23Rick, I know you're fooling around with drugs.
12:25Are you spying on me?
12:27No, no, I just think...
12:29Who cares what you think? You're just a kid.
12:32Rick, you can't see what drugs are doing to you.
12:38It means Throne ship was sighted somewhere near here.
12:46Which means that Flash must be close by as well.
12:52I believe we found Flash.
13:04Flash, look out!
13:05Hi, guys. Anybody seen Ming?
13:16I am here, Flash Gordon.
13:26Fire! You have done it!
13:28You have destroyed the defenders of the Earth!
13:31Now, I need more power.
13:34Nothing else matters but filling my body with more power.
13:40How's it going, Rick?
13:41I'll tell you how it's going.
13:42It's going awful.
13:44I can't do it, okay?
13:46I'm not Flash Gordon.
13:47I'm not a hero. I'm not a genius.
13:50I'm just a...
13:51I will tell you what you are, Rick Gordon.
13:54You are doomed, like your father.
14:02You are doomed.
14:04You are all doomed.
14:10I am the all-powerful Ming.
14:16Rick, you can't see what's happening.
14:19You're all messed up from drugs.
14:21We need your help.
14:22Leave me alone, Kashin.
14:26Please, Rick.
14:28Oh, Kashin?
14:31Kashin!
14:36What have I done?
14:38Kashin!
14:39Kashin, I'm sorry.
14:51This is all my fault.
14:55What?
14:56What's happening?
14:57Over here, Ming!
14:59No, over here, Ming!
15:02Stop it!
15:03Stop it, I say!
15:05Rick!
15:06Rick!
15:07You were wrong before.
15:10To me, you'll always be a...
15:12a hero.
15:15Come on, let's get you out of here.
15:16Zuffy, follow me.
15:20Thanks, Rick.
15:21No, Kashin.
15:22I'm the one who should be thanking you.
15:25Zuffy, take care of Kashin.
15:31I got some work to do.
15:37Stand still, I say.
15:44No one can defy the power of men.
15:48How long can we keep this up?
15:51Until our parents get back.
15:58Okay.
15:59Stop it.
16:02After you.
16:03Why, thank you.
16:10I am all-powerful.
16:12You're not all-powerful, Ming.
16:15You're all finished.
16:16What are you, Ming?
16:32You!
16:33You!
16:34You!
16:35Come back here!
16:37Where are you?
16:39Show yourselves!
16:41We're right here, Ming.
16:43And we're over here, too!
16:44We're everywhere, Ming.
16:49I'll destroy you!
16:52Are you casting any illusions, Mandrake?
16:54No.
16:55Ming is hallucinating.
16:57He's trying to destroy something that exists only in his mind.
17:01I am Ming!
17:04I am all-powerful!
17:07I am Ming!
17:22I am...
17:24No!
17:28It cannot end this way!
17:31That's that.
17:37I'm not so sure.
17:39Rick, where are you going?
17:40To stop Ming from recharging his batteries!
17:43Mate!
18:08Get out!
18:10Suit him!
18:11What are you waiting for?
18:15Now! Do it now!
18:41Are you okay, son?
18:52Yeah, I'm fine, Dan. Ming's not doing so great, though.
18:55I knew you could do it, Rick. I just knew you were a hero.
18:59No, Kushin, you're the hero. You had the guts to say no to drugs. You were brave enough for both of us.
19:05I just want you to know that I'm sorry, son.
19:12Sorry for what, Dad?
19:13For not giving you the time when you needed to talk to me. I was too caught up in my work to even notice.
19:19But your work's important, Dad.
19:21Well, so's my son.
19:22Dad, I guess I got into drugs to take off some of the pressure, to feel stronger, to be more alert.
19:29But it didn't work. The only thing the drugs did was to totally mess me up.
19:36I need help, Dad.
19:38Well, how about we get help together?
19:40Seems to me that saying no to drugs should be a team effort.
19:44Thanks, Dad.
19:46Hey, Kushin, you and your buddies ready to get high with the big guys?
19:50Kevin, I saw what drugs can do. Why don't you just take your drugs and get out of here?
19:55What's the matter? Chicken? Come on, try it.
19:59No! No way!
20:06When someone asks you to try drugs, just remember how easy it is to say no.
20:25Come on.
20:26Can he?
20:27No.
20:28Go on, do you.
20:29Go home!
20:30Oh, no!
20:32Not that bad, man.
20:34No!
20:36No!
20:37No!
20:47No!
20:48No!
20:50No!
20:51You
