00:00The End
00:30Chapter 12
01:00Ming's air attack on Baron's palace is beaten off and torched, recaptured by Flash Gordon.
01:05But the escaping enemy ships carry off Dale Orton.
01:08Darkoff is tricked into Ming's power, and with Dale and Princess Aura already his prisoners, Ming now holds the whip hand over Flash and Baron.
01:17Flash leads a rescue party into Ming's palace by means of an abandoned tunnel and locates the room where Dale and Aura are held.
01:23Unaware that the room is protected by a death-dealing electrical trap, Flash, sword in hand.
01:28The End
01:29Wait out here. I'll go in along.
01:46This may be a trap.
01:47Flash, stop where you are.
02:03Flash, what happened?
02:10Aura, Dale, what was it?
02:13Baron, don't move. The rug is electrified. There must be a switch outside the door. Father turned the current on. It's about there.
02:21It's all right. The current's off.
02:29Flash, I thought you were killed.
02:33Not quite. We've got to get out of here. Quick. Quick.
02:48Halt!
02:50To the north room. Quickly.
02:56That's the thing, Robert.
03:03Your Majesty, Captain Torch reports that Flash Gordon and his comrades have rescued Dale Arden and Princess Aura and have fled with them.
03:14They can go for some of the guard and search for them.
03:18Watch the laboratory. They may attempt to release Dr. Zorkoff also.
03:29These prisoners are to be admitted and held in here.
03:31This is not a prison. This is an order.
03:34Are you going to obey?
03:35Yes. By placing you under arrest.
03:40Charge! Charge!
04:01It will take them two hours to break down that door. And by that time, they shall have a better and more effective defense.
04:16We'll hide these guards somewhere and take their uniforms.
04:18Take them two hours to break down that door. And by that time, they shall have a better and more effective defense.
04:23We'll hide these guards somewhere and take their uniforms.
04:27We'll remain here on guard. I must report this to His Majesty.
04:31Tom, whom you knew, Baron, had been a prisoner here for years.
04:34Finally discovered the source of the terrific power Mind controls.
04:38Tom, confiding the secret to you.
04:39Yes, the drug here.
04:41The power is derived from a strong beam of light, reflected from pure thelinium.
04:43Remain here on guard.
04:45I must report this to his majesty.
04:48Tom, whom you knew, Baron, had been a prisoner here for years.
04:51Finally discovered the source of the terrific power Ming controls.
04:55Tom, confide in the secret to you.
04:57Yes, the drug here.
04:59The power is derived from a strong beam of light,
05:02reflected from pure theranium,
05:04a new element which gives the light great properties
05:06and permits it to be transformed into other forms of energy.
05:09Where does the light come from?
05:11Where all light and power originate.
05:12The sun.
05:14And it is this theranium that energizes the purple death dust,
05:18the great fire projector,
05:19and all of Ming's weapons of death and destruction.
05:24Sire, the Earth Party with Baron and Aura
05:26have barricaded themselves in the laboratory.
05:30Surround the laboratory, but do not attack without an order for me.
05:33But, sire, with our numbers, we can attack and conquer them.
05:35You, you!
05:36Don't you realize that with Dr. Sharkoff in possession of my laboratory,
05:40he is more powerful than I am in my own kingdom?
05:43Dr. Sharkoff is clever.
05:46No doubt, he has learned from Korms the secret of my sun power.
05:50And if we attack, he'll destroy us.
05:52Now, he must be tricked into coming out.
05:56And I'll find the way.
05:58If we can control Ming's powerhouse, we can handle him.
06:00We can destroy him and his palace,
06:03for that would mean our death as well.
06:05It would be worth it.
06:06If we could save the universe by doing so.
06:14And now, if I may speak to Dr. Sharkoff.
06:18My rocket ship is loaded with enough solarite
06:20to destroy the principal cities of the Earth,
06:23on contact.
06:24It is in my escort now.
06:26We will send it,
06:28if you do not surrender at once.
06:30I doubt very much
06:31that one ship can do so much damage.
06:33I have enough ships and solarite
06:35that destroy your entire Earth.
06:38If you knew the power of it,
06:39you would not hesitate to meet my terms.
06:44This is a serious matter.
06:46I must consult my associates.
06:48Very well.
06:49I'll give you five minutes.
06:52Kind of you.
06:52Don't you believe him, Sharkoff?
06:54He's going to double-cross us.
06:56You mean he has no such ship
06:57as the rocket ship Zio?
06:59He has, he has,
06:59but he's going to send it against the Earth
07:01whether we surrender or not.
07:02I doubt very much
07:03if he is the powerful explosive solarite
07:05he speaks of.
07:05Ming's scientists have for years
07:07been searching for an explosive
07:08powerful enough to destroy the Earth.
07:10I believe they have found it.
07:12There's only one way out.
07:13And that is?
07:14Take Ming's Zio ship
07:15and destroy him with it.
07:17It all depends on whether you can control
07:18the defensive mechanism
07:19of the space corps here.
07:20It can be done.
07:21Where will we be
07:22when you destroy Ming?
07:23In Darkos rocket ship.
07:24I'll take off in the solarite ship
07:25and head back toward the palace
07:26then bail out.
07:28You ought to be able to pick me up.
07:29Then you'd better let me go with you.
07:30No use to over sacrificing ourselves.
07:38Sarkoff doesn't answer our signal, sir.
07:39I'll stay here and control the death rays
07:52that guard the entrance to the space corps.
07:54It means your death.
07:55Ming killed my spirit
07:57when he destroyed my people.
07:58For years I've been waiting
07:59for this chance to avenge them.
08:02I understand.
08:04Notify Captain Sudden
08:05to open the Tongal gates for us.
08:06I will.
08:07Goodbye, my friend.
08:08We'll never forget you, Professor.
08:23Order the guard.
08:24Stop that all possible exits.
08:25I fear the earth people
08:27are up to something
08:27we know nothing of.
08:28I'll warm up the motor
08:40so we'll be ready to leave
08:41the moment Dr. Sarkoff arrives.
08:50Flash!
08:51Wait!
08:52That's the ship
08:53with the solarite aboard.
08:54Are you sure?
08:55Yes.
08:56Ming call it is the ocean.
08:58You cannot enter the space corps
08:59until I have signaled Drunk
09:01to turn off the death ray.
09:04No!
09:08That was caused by the death ray
09:10operated by Drunk.
09:12Hello.
09:14Yes?
09:15Turn off the death ray
09:16on number seven.
09:20They are off.
09:21He says the death rays
09:22are turned off
09:23on number seven.
09:24All clear, Flash.
09:25I'll circle with the Z-O ship
09:26until you take off
09:27and join me.
09:27Right.
09:28We'll keep in touch
09:29by radio.
09:30Good.
09:31I hope there's
09:32a parachute aboard.
09:33I'm sure there is.
09:34It's an essential part
09:35of the equipment.
09:36Well, good luck, Flash.
09:38Thanks.
09:38I hope there is going las com m
09:40altyom, Flashdick.
09:41All right.
09:51Good night.
09:52All right.
09:52Good night.
09:53Come on.
09:53Come on.
09:54Come on.
09:55Come on.
09:56Come on.
09:57Let me see.
09:57Let me see.
09:58Come on.
09:58Come on.
09:59Come on.
10:00Come on.
10:02Come on.
10:03Come on.
10:04Good bye.
10:04Come on.
10:05Come on.
10:06Come on.
10:07Come on.
10:07Yes.
10:16Yes, I'll report it.
10:24Your Majesty Flash Gordon has just entered the space court
10:26and taken off your solar airship.
10:28Why didn't my guard stop him?
10:29The guards cannot enter the space court.
10:31The death ray has been turned on.
10:33That's the work of that clever fiend, Sarkov.
10:35He's got the controls in the laboratory.
10:39Dr. Sarkov.
10:55There's no danger from the solar airship.
10:58Gordon will not destroy his friends.
11:03Captain Torch speaking.
11:05Yes.
11:06Yes.
11:07I'll report.
11:09Sir, Dr. Sarkov and the rest of the Earth people,
11:12including Prince Baron and Princess Aura,
11:14have escaped through Dunlap.
11:15They've taken off their rocket ship.
11:17Then Gordon will use the solar airship to destroy me.
11:20We must leave it once for the towers,
11:22use the auxiliary controls from there,
11:23or the Captain Soudan to have them turned on.
11:26We'll find him in the guard.
11:27Captain Torch calling Captain Soudan.
11:49I can't get Captain Soudan, sire.
11:52You must.
11:52I'll always depend on it.
11:53Keep dragging.
11:56Captain Torch calling Captain Soudan.
11:59Soudan, connect the controls in the tower room with much.
12:03I never thought it would ever be in my power
12:06to save Ming the Merciless
12:07or to destroy him.
12:10Then you will not connect the controls?
12:12No.
12:14Calling Captain Soudan in the guard control room.
12:16Hello?
12:20Is this Drolk?
12:21Yes, this is Drolk.
12:22Listen.
12:24Can you contact Zarkov?
12:25Yes, I can, Captain Soudan.
12:27Good.
12:28Tell him that Ming has gone to the tower control room.
12:31All right, I will.
12:33Drolk calling Dr. Zarkov.
12:35Calling Dr. Zarkov.
12:37Listen carefully.
12:38Ming has taken refuge in his tower control room.
12:41Tell Flash Gordon to head his solar airship
12:43directly at the tower.
12:45I'll tell him.
12:47And that means you'll be saved, Drolk.
12:49I know that.
12:50But it also means that we can place
12:52Prince Baron on the throne of Mongo.
12:55Now we can save others
12:56who should not suffer from Ming's misdeeds.
12:59Flash.
13:04Flash.
13:05Where is Zarkov?
13:10Ming has gone to his tower control room.
13:12You know where it is?
13:14Yes.
13:14I'll head toward there instead of the palace.
13:16Good.
13:17Let us know when you're ready.
13:18Don't worry.
13:19I will.
13:27Captain Soudan doesn't answer, sire.
13:29We're doomed.
13:30Send the messenger to him.
13:30Ah, there's no time for that.
13:32Our only chance is that Captain Soudan
13:33will connect the controls.
13:35Then we can expose this solar airship
13:36while it's in the air.
13:38Captain Soudan,
13:38call Remper demands
13:40that you connect the controls
13:41of the tower room immediately.
13:48Why doesn't Flash bail out?
13:50He's close enough now.
13:51Not yet.
13:52He can't afford to miss.
13:53You've locked Ming and his retinue
14:05in the tower.
14:06Yes.
14:07And there's only one other way
14:08of escape for them.
14:09But they will be too terrified
14:11to think of it.
14:17All right, Zarkov.
14:18Cut the speed on as low as possible.
14:22All right, Zarkov.
14:52Do you think the solarite ship
15:01will hit the tower?
15:02I'm sure it will.
15:04Watch the fireworks.
15:10Oh, look!
15:12The solarite ship is nearly upon us!
15:14To the caverns where you're alive!
15:17It's locked.
15:18Ming is no more.
15:36The world is safe.
15:38And our warrior is free.
15:40By destroying Ming,
15:42you have saved the universe.
15:43His mad ambition,
15:47Ming declared that he was the universe.
15:50Then, since you have conquered Ming,
15:53I shall ready you, your father.
15:57Flash Gordon conquers the universe.
16:00And saves the Earth.
16:03What's our course now, Flash?
16:05Straight for Arboria.
16:08And back home.
16:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
16:11THE END
