00:00Blasting off on a desperate mission to save Earth from the evil plottings of the tyrannical
00:24space lord Ming the Merciless. Dr. Hans Zarkov and Dale Arden have joined me, Flash Gordon,
00:34on a fantastic journey into worlds where peril and adventure await us.
00:54The End
01:24After harrowing adventures in Mongo's forest world of Arborea, Flash, Dale, and Zarkoth rest in Baron's tree palace as they plan their next move to unseat the evil dictator Ming the Merciless.
01:40You underestimate the Earthman, Father. Flash Gordon is a match for anything on Mongo.
01:46Silence, daughter. No man is a match for Ming the Merciless. Flash Gordon may have escaped this time.
01:54But I promise you, we will meet again.
02:03Yes, Flash Gordon. We will definitely meet again.
02:09And now, Chapter 8, The Frozen World.
02:24You boys look like you could use a break.
02:45Arborea has the best tea on Mongo. But tea won't power our machines.
02:54We need a stockpile of orium if we're to stand a chance of defeating Ming.
02:59There is the only source of orium on Mongo that Ming does not control.
03:04Phrygia, a frozen land of ice and snow.
03:11And orium.
03:13Who rules Phrygia?
03:14Queen Freya.
03:15And she is no friend of Ming's.
03:18But, I fear, she is no friend of Arborea either.
03:22You know Freya?
03:23Mm-hmm. She's my cousin. Very distant cousin, but there's always been ill feelings between Arborea and Phrygia.
03:32Then you'd better stay here, Baron.
03:34Doc, I suggest we get some pocket heaters in the event we get a chilly reception in Phrygia.
03:39You better make certain the rocket ship you pick holds three. I am not staying home.
03:45Good luck, Flash.
03:55We'll be back within a week with the orium.
03:58Looking for someone?
04:00Fun. I thought he'd be here to see us off.
04:03You never know what to expect from a lion, man.
04:06Compared to the rest of Mongo, they're still in the dark ages.
04:10Fun?
04:15Think I'd miss an adventure like this?
04:18I'm glad you're with us, friend.
04:23Next stop, Mongo's North Pole.
04:32Good luck, Flash Gordon. I'm afraid you'll need it.
04:45I'm afraid you'll need it.
05:10Sire.
05:11What is it?
05:12Radar has detected a large rocket ship leaving the Arborea sector.
05:18And where is it going?
05:20Its preliminary coordinates set its destination as the frozen continent, Phrygia.
05:27Phrygia, Queen Freer's domain.
05:31An alliance between Arborea and Phrygia with its orium mines could be harmful to my cause.
05:40Send up a fighter patrol. I want that rocket ship destroyed.
05:45Yes, sire.
05:46And this time, let there be no failures.
05:50With any luck, Flash Gordon himself will be in that rocket ship.
06:01Which one is Earth's star?
06:06I believe that one.
06:09It's so far away. I wonder if we'll ever get home again.
06:13We'll get back to Earth one day. I promise you that.
06:17As long as we're together, Flash. It doesn't matter which planet we're on.
06:22You seem worried, Thun.
06:29I'm always worried.
06:32It's the natural state of a lion man.
06:35But right now, I'm concerned about Ming.
06:38His robot fighters patrol this sector.
06:41So far, we've seen nothing.
06:44We've been intercepted. A Ming patrol.
06:51Strap in.
06:52We're outnumbered four to one.
06:54That should make it an even fight.
07:07Well, that cuts down the odds.
07:09But not enough, I'm afraid.
07:13Flash, look.
07:15Looks like Baron's League fighters are gonna give us a hand.
07:43So much for Ming's little detour.
07:48Next stop, Brigid.
07:50Once more, you escape my grasp, Earthman.
07:55But fear not. I have a few surprises remaining.
08:00Once more, you escape my grasp, Earthman.
08:05But fear not. I have a few surprises remaining.
08:11Storm ahead.
08:22Hang on, everyone. This may be a rough ride.
08:26I think that's a pretty good thing.
08:27I don't know.
08:28I think I'll find a good deal.
08:29I'm sorry, much.
08:30I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
08:31I can't wait.
08:32I'm sorry.
08:33I'm sorry.
08:34I'm sorry.
08:35I'm sorry.
08:36I'm sorry.
08:37I'm sorry.
08:38I can't wait.
08:39I'm sorry.
08:40I can't wait.
08:41I can't wait.
08:42I need more rocket boost.
08:45The main tubes are on full thrust now, Flash.
08:51It's a hundred below zero out.
08:54The ship is ice heavy.
08:55I can't hold her nose up.
09:03We've lost all power.
09:06We're going to crash.
09:12We're going to crash.
09:37Anyone know where in Mongo we are?
09:40There wasn't time to get coordinates before we crashed.
09:44All I'm sure of is that we're somewhere in Phrygia.
09:47Any suggestions, Flash?
09:50I'm going to climb to the top of that hill.
09:52Try to get our bearings.
09:54Doc, you see if you can get any life out of our communicator.
09:57Dale, you and Thun see if there's any way we'll ever get this rocket ship off the ground again.
10:02I think it's made its last flight.
10:04I'm afraid you're right, but at least it'll give us protection against the cold.
10:08We may be stuck here for a long time.
10:18This doesn't appear to be one of Mongo's more heavily populated vacation spots.
10:22Now I know why.
10:34This charge isn't enough to even give that thing a tickle.
10:37But there might be another way.
10:40Sorry, you couldn't stay longer.
10:51The rocket motors are completely burned out.
10:53The radio wasn't repairable.
10:55Oh, Flash is coming back.
10:57I hope he's had better luck than us.
11:00All I know is we're a long way from nowhere.
11:03We've got company coming.
11:07A patrol from Phrygia.
11:09Shall we put the coffee on?
11:11Let's just hope they're friendly.
11:13It's more than a party.
11:16It's a royal party.
11:19And that has to be Queen Freya.
11:22She's beautiful.
11:24If you care for that type.
11:26You know you're my type.
11:28The barbaric lion man I recognize.
11:34But you are unlike any other I've seen on Mongo.
11:39I and my friends come from a faraway planet.
11:43Earth.
11:43Earth?
11:44I've never heard of it.
11:45And we never heard of Mongo.
11:47Or Phrygia.
11:48Until recently.
11:49How are you called, Earth man?
11:52Flash.
11:52Flash Gordon.
11:53Well, Flash Gordon.
11:55What brings you to Phrygia?
11:56Orion, we need it in our battle against the tyranny of Ming the Merciless.
12:01To speak against Ming is unwise.
12:04To live under the iron yoke of a dictator who calls himself an emperor is not my intent.
12:10You have spirit, Flash Gordon.
12:13I am no friend of Ming's.
12:15But I am also not foolish enough to challenge him openly.
12:18The time is coming when the people of Mongo will rise up.
12:21Perhaps, perhaps you shall even convince me to give you orion.
12:28But for now, you will join me in my city of ice.
12:32Wait.
12:34You will ride with me.
12:38No, Dale.
12:39Freya likes Flash.
12:40And that's an edge we may need before we leave Phrygia.
12:56Welcome to Freya's city, Flash Gordon.
12:59That's quite a snow castle.
13:02Have you anything like it on your own world, Earth?
13:06Nothing like this.
13:07Ah, Count Marlowe.
13:31It appears our good Queen Freya is quite taken with the stranger from Earth.
13:37We shall see, Captain.
13:39We shall see.
13:41Yes, I think we shall.
13:44Which should make my emperor Ming a happy man and me a rich one.
13:51We may live in isolation from the rest of Mongo, Flash Gordon.
13:55But we live well.
13:56You do indeed, Queen Freya.
13:58Your city is an amazing place.
14:01There is little wood or stone here.
14:03Ice itself is our basic building material.
14:06Each area has its own heat conditioning unit.
14:09Without it, you might find yourself quickly frozen, as solid as these walls.
14:16We'll remember that.
14:18I fear the long journey has tired you.
14:21Please take time to enjoy the pleasures of Phrygia.
14:23And then join me for a royal welcome.
14:26You will find the pleasures here to your liking, I am certain.
14:36Shall we leave these two to enjoy the pool by themselves?
14:40We'll see you two later.
14:42I'll join you.
14:43No, you won't.
14:44We haven't had five minutes alone together since we came to Mongo.
14:48You have something in mind?
14:49Until now, I was number one in Freya's favor.
15:01The Earthman is not going to take my place.
15:04This ought to cool off our guests.
15:08The Earthman is not going to be a quest for everyone.
15:24The Earthman is not going to eat any beer.
15:26They don't work for everyone.
15:26It's not going to greatders, TV and Fans.
15:27We have a professed museum party.
15:28We will enjoy the webis.
15:29Let's go now.
15:29We have not found the man who tried to harm you and Miss Arden,
15:52but rest assured he will be found and punished.
15:56I worry, Count Marlowe, if Queen Freya reopens the Aurium Mines for the rebels,
16:05the Emperor Ming's wrath will be terrible to behold.
16:09That will never happen!
16:19Doctor, Count Marlowe and that captain bother me.
16:22They disturb me too, Dale. The Count is cordial enough, but I sense a deep anger underneath.
16:29I was told that Count Marlowe had become Freya's favorite until Flash came along.
16:39Beyond here lies the entrance to the Aurium Mines.
16:42Where is the danger that caused your people to close the mines?
16:46There is a legend of a race of giants.
16:49There are also many fierce creatures that inhabit this part of Phrygia.
16:54Flash, look out!
16:57An ice worm.
17:00Run!
17:01Frygia!
17:09Frygia!
17:22No!
17:24You might hit Marlowe!
17:25But we must do something!
17:26Quick, follow me!
17:31Marlowe risked his life to save mine.
17:33I know.
17:34But a direct attack against that creature is hopeless.
17:42Push, men! Push!
17:44Marlowe, jump!
17:55Marlowe, jump!
17:57That ought to keep our friend occupied for a while.
17:59But I'd suggest we leave this area before the creature walks free.
18:15Your bravery this day will not go unrewarded, Count Marlowe.
18:19You saved my life, Earthman, after what I did to you in the pool.
18:24You? But why?
18:26I was jealous of you and Phrygia. I don't deserve to live.
18:31You have proved yourself a man today, Marlowe. Forget the past.
18:39What was Marlowe saying to you?
18:41It was personal.
18:47You're certain this is the easiest way to get to the mines?
18:50It's the only way.
18:51It's the only way.
18:55The Giants!
19:08No, there are too many.
19:13You're right.
19:14Yeah, let's retreat so we can fight another day.
19:21So, Flash Gordon, you evaded Brooker's Giants.
19:26But you'll not escape this.
19:32Flash, look out!
19:36It's an avalanche.
19:40Goodbye, Earthman, Queen Freya.
19:43Ming will make me a rich man for this day's work.
19:47Don't worry, Dale. If Flash got free, he'll bring help.
19:52Bring help.
19:53Now, take care.
19:58Let's go.
19:59Bring help.
20:00KNEES
20:02KNEES
20:03KNEES
20:04KNEES
20:08KNEES
20:10KNEES
20:11KNEES
20:13Oh, my God.
20:43Release us, Brooker, or it will go hard on your people when Flash Gordon returns with the armies of Phrygia.
21:04From where Flash Gordon is, he will not be returning.
21:08What have you done to Flash?
21:10Your precious Earthman is through meddling in Mongo affairs.
21:17This one I like.
21:20The others you may sell, but I keep this one for myself.
21:26No, Brooker.
21:28That one belongs to Emperor Ming.
21:31No, she's mine, not Ming's.
21:34This is Brooker's kingdom.
21:37Take them to the pits.
21:43Now, leave the woman.
21:46I fear for the fate which has befallen my lovely queen and the Earthman.
21:59I fear for Flash and Freya, but I also fear for ourselves.
22:04Are you all right?
22:13I think so.
22:14What do we do now, Flash Gordon?
22:16I'm going after my friends.
22:18It was my men also the Giants captured.
22:21I am going with you.
22:23Sometimes you remind me of Dale.
22:25I think I like that.
22:30Next week, don't miss Chapter 9, Monster of the Glacier.
