00:30Chapter 4
00:55Emperor Ming, rejoicing in the belief that Flash and his party have been destroyed,
01:00intercepts a radio message from Flash to his father,
01:03saying he has discovered Polaroid,
01:06an antidote for the death dust with which Ming is bombarding the Earth.
01:10Ming, enraged in knowing his soldiers cannot survive the intense cold of Regia,
01:14sends torch against the expedition
01:16with an army of mechanical men charged with explosives,
01:20which torch can control and explode from his ship.
01:23Deep in the frozen waves,
01:24the walking bombs attack the expedition and...
01:34Oh, Flash, I can't make it.
01:36You've got to. It's our only chance.
01:38I've got to destroy them.
02:04Ming won't forgive another failure.
02:08I'll have to forfeit if I don't...
02:16Oh.
02:21He'll have an escape from Ming when the Earthmen visited Mongo before.
02:26Ming won't fear as much for Dale alive as he will for Zarkov.
02:28Well, don't let the Annihilus drop her.
02:41They've got Dale.
02:44Come back!
02:45You'll be blown to atoms!
02:48Explode the Annihilus.
02:49Kill the girl?
02:51No.
02:52I'll get a trick or two of that.
02:57Help!
02:58Get me!
03:08Got him!
03:09Dale Arden and Zarkov.
03:11He's a hundred thousand Mingos for you and me.
03:19Flash!
03:19Flash!
03:20Flash!
03:28Where's Dale?
03:29I don't know.
03:30All I could see was Iron Men.
03:31There was an explosion that knocked me out.
03:32Well, by their tracks, they've gone in that direction.
03:35Flash is dead.
03:36Killed in the explosion.
03:37You and the good doctor are on your way to the palace of Ming the Merciless.
03:41He's always wanted both of us.
03:42He's always wanted both of us.
03:43Pilot, get underway.
03:44Better destroy Zarkov's ship first.
03:46No.
03:47It's too valuable to destroy.
03:48We have no pilot capable of flying it but myself.
03:50We'll return for it after we deliver our prisoners and collect our reward.
03:51Ronald, what happened?
03:52Where's Dale?
03:53The mechanical man got her.
03:54Zarkov and I tried to stop them and...
03:55Must have gotten Zarkov, too.
03:56I don't know.
03:57What happened?
03:58Where's Dale?
03:59The mechanical man got her.
04:00Zarkov and I tried to stop them and...
04:01Must have gotten Zarkov, too.
04:02This Ming ship.
04:03They're tearing off Dale and Zarkov.
04:04Let's go after them in our ship.
04:05No, I can't do it.
04:06I'll just go after him and get to the plane in there.
04:07It's very valuable to destroy.
04:08It's very valuable to destroy.
04:09We have no pilot capable of flying it but myself.
04:10We'll return for it after we deliver our prisoners and collect our reward.
04:12Ronald, what happened?
04:15Where's Dale?
04:16The mechanical man got her.
04:17Zarkov and I tried to stop them and...
04:19They must have gotten Zarkov, too.
04:29This Ming ship.
04:30They're tearing off Dale and Zarkov.
04:31You're not going to let them run off with Dale.
04:36Dr. Sarkoff?
04:37Ming will kill him.
04:38Yes, I know all that.
04:40And I love Dale and Sarkoff more than anyone can know.
04:43But there are only two lives.
04:44While on Earth, millions of people are facing death in the path of the Purple Plague.
04:47Unless Ming has stopped.
04:49Now I've got to take Polaroid to the Earth first.
04:51Then I'll come back and settle with Ming.
04:52While the Purple Jeff still rages, there has been a marked debatement of the number of Jeffs.
05:07We believe this may be due to the activities of Professor Sarkoff and my son, Fyre Sporden, on the planet Mongo.
05:13Further news will be broadcast to you the moment it is received.
05:17We again beg you to remain calm in this crisis.
05:22There was no need to raise the hopes of the people without some scrap of proof.
05:29You have no foundation for your surmise that the drop in the death rate is due to anything but natural causes.
05:35What of it if it keeps up the morale of the crowd?
05:37Besides, the last word we heard from Flash was that they mean to put a stop to the Purple Death.
05:41And when Sarkoff and Flash undertake a thing, I don't have to.
05:44Yes?
05:45Your son Flash is calling on the radio. Come quickly.
05:47Flash!
05:47Hello, Dad.
05:54Yes, we found large deposits of Polarite in the kingdom of Phrygia, far north of Mongo.
06:00As you know, Polarite particles attract and neutralize the death dust in the same manner that the human brain reacts upon it.
06:06We now have enough Polarite to destroy all the death dust that Ming can turn loose.
06:10Oh.
06:11You wanted proof, did you, you old crab?
06:13Well, there you have it.
06:14Polarite.
06:15Loads of it.
06:16The salvation of the world.
06:18I'm going to drop the Polarite at the top of Mount McKinley.
06:21It will attract all the death dust to that particular spot and destroy it.
06:43All ready, Roper.
06:44Getting close in.
06:45Getting close in.
06:45All ready, Roper.
06:46Getting close in.
06:47Let's go.
07:15That's a splendid achievement, son.
07:24The world will be waiting to give you and Professor Zarkoff
07:27the finest welcome in the history of mankind.
07:29No, Dad, I'm not coming back.
07:31Zarkoff's not with me.
07:32No, he and Dale were taken prisoners by Ming.
07:35I don't know what's happened to him.
07:36Dale, my daughter, at the mercy of Ming.
07:45Polarite's unloaded.
07:48Good.
07:49Now we'll stop back after me.
07:58We're flying over for Gia.
08:02You're going to have a job getting into that rocket ship
08:04before you freeze to death.
08:05Look.
08:09The very ship we're looking for.
08:10Some of them must have survived.
08:16We've got to shoot them down.
08:22The ship's diving at us.
08:27Fly over a mouse-worn down.
08:29No, we'll need that ship to get at Ming.
08:34I'm going to spin her down.
08:35Turn on a smoke screen so he'll think way ahead.
08:40Keep the smoke screen on.
08:51Keep the smoke screen on.
09:10They crashed right over there.
09:15Head on.
09:16I can't stand this close to there.
09:18Takes my breath.
09:19And mine.
09:20We've got to get to that ship.
09:21It's on fire.
09:25Hide that after lockers.
09:40Doesn't seem to be damaged much.
09:43Party at all.
09:45Flyer's corpse.
09:46Alive.
09:47Broker.
09:48It's on them.
09:48Tie them up.
09:57What are you going to do?
09:59Take your ship into Ming's palace.
10:01Then you're going to get the password
10:02that opens the gates to the space court.
10:04The patrol ship coming in for landing, sir.
10:26Welcome, Captain Torch.
10:27Help!
10:28Help!
10:28Don't shoot!
10:41We have them all down here on us.
10:45Help!
10:46Help!
10:46Don't shoot!
10:46What have you done with Dr. Zarcoff?
11:06He refused to accept the terms I offered him
11:09and must suffer the consequences.
11:12Look.
11:12You still have a few moments
11:24to reconsider your decision, Dr. Zarcoff.
11:27The hands of the clock point to the 11th hour.
11:30It will automatically release my destroying ray.
11:37I made my decision, Ming.
11:39And you cannot order it.
11:41You're determined to go through with this murder.
11:43At least let me join him down there.
11:45And lose the bride that I have waited for so long.
12:05Did you hear that, Broker?
12:09Guards.
12:11The emperor is sacrificing the earth man
12:21to the destroying ray.
12:23We can see from the window that overlooks the arena.
12:25The emperor is harvesting the air.
12:39Your time is nearly up, Zarkov.
13:04Accept my terms and I will save you.
13:09I will save you.
13:39Give him some fire.
13:48Save yourself, Flash.
13:50You'll be burned to a cinder.
13:51I'm setting you free first.
13:53He has chosen his own death.
13:55Stop it.
14:10Stop it.
14:11Stop it.
14:15Stop it.
14:16You'll find him.
14:16You won't.
14:17Stop it.
14:17Stop it.
14:18You'll find him.
14:21Stop it.
14:22Stop it.
