My own people
are plotting against me
All since my water was stolen
By that abomination
who calls himself
"King of the deviates"- Terek.
People are angry
Because you poisoned
that water
To discredit terek,
And they
found you out.
Ah! You don't feel
sympathy for that-
That monster, do you?
At least he was trying
to help people.
Open your eyes, aura.
The streets
are filled with unrest.
The cantons
have turned against me.
Rebellion may not be far behind.
And, if i am brought down,
You will be right there with me,
daughter.
We should've never
tried to handle this on our own.
If we hadn't
Maybe joe
would be alive.
Yes.
If we'd been honest with joe
from the start,
He'd be with us here now.
There's only one way
to make sure we're all safe.
We have to tell the world
the truth.
Huh?
Knowledge of an alien planet
May be quite disturbing
to your people.
Do you really believe
they will be able to accept it?
Well, they may not
have a choice, baylin.
If ming's really getting ready
to destroy the planet,
They have a right to know.
But only if
we can't stop ming.
First, we have to
make sure
He can never attack
the earth again.
How?
We can't blow up
the rift generator
Without blowing
the xyrilium core,
And maybe destroying the ecology
of both planets.
If we can't take out
the rift generator
then it's time
we take out ming.
You the dolan?
flash gordon.
Yes.
I know about you.
I had a feeling
you might.
Do i need this?
I am not your enemy.
I serve ming, yes,
But our duties to the prophecy
come first.
That's what
i'm here about.
You know rankol?
We have spoken.
He's told me
of some prophecies.
They speak of someone
Coming to take ming down.
For a while, he even thought
i was supposed to be that guy.
Gns are on you.
You are the water bearer,
The child who shall
replace the father.
The help from afar.
Hey, no offense?
I'm not too big
on the whole destiny thing.
You do not wish
to be our savior?
No!
But if the savior's
The only one
who can take down ming,
Then i'm willing to step up.
What would you
have me do?
Make a proclamation.
Tell people that i'm the one.
Maybe i can
unite the cantons
Long enough
to take down ming.
It is possible
But only if you are truly
the one!
I thought i'd passed
every test.
There is one more.
It is foretold
That the uniter
will begin his campaign
By warming the heart
And earning the favors
of a distant queen.
I don't have time
for another test.
I need to take ming down now.
What you need to do now,
flash gordon,
Is to fulfill your destiny!
Guess it's too much to be asked
to be dropped in hawaii.

What in the heck
is this thing?
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no!
That is seriously wrong!
No.
That's cold,
that's cold
That's cold, that's cold!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, stop!
Stay back, blondie.
I can defend myself.
Hey, i don't really
doubt that fact.
I'm not looking for trouble,
all right?
Can you just tell me
where i am?
The frigian wastelands.
How did you
get out this far
Without transport?
Kind of just got
dropped off here, wearing this.
A glassine
weather suit.
Nice equipment,
it's very expensive.
Whoever gave you that didn't
want you to freeze to death-
At least not right away.
Look
If you're planning on
shooting me and stealing this,
Can we just, you know,
maybe make a deal first?
If i wanted to steal your suit,
blondie, you'd be naked by now.
I'm brini.
Flash gordon.
Why are you here?
Apparently, to save someone.
A queen.
The frigian queen?
Yeah.
Can you take me to her?
I'll tell you what.
You help me with my harvest,
And i'll take you
to the frigian capital.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
I'm sort of in a bit of hurry.
Well
It'll take you about
three moonrises to walk it.
Bit of advice,
You'll run into
a lot of frost bears
Don't try to pet them.
Something's wrong.
Flash should've been back
by now.
I have checked
our usual places.
He has not been seen.
You don't suppose
that he's been captured by ming?
And maybe he's being tortured,
Or put into some horrible
mind-Sucking machine
Zarkov!
I will make a foray
into the prisons, to be sure.
This is what
i'm talking about.
We can't handle
this alone.
We need help.
Flash is
an extraordinary person.
Give him the time
to succeed.
And if he doesn't?
Then what?
I'm going home.
And i hope one of you
comes back to tell me
That flash is okay,
And that ming
has been stopped.
What if we don't?
Or we can't?
We have
no choice anymore.
It's time we let
the world know.
Terek.
Are you
in such a hurry to die?
I wanted you
alone and unprotected
so that we could
Talk privately.
What more do you
and your kind want?
I have already
assigned you a prefect.
That was aura's
doing, not yours.
If it were up to you,
I would've been erased,
Along with
all deviates.
And yet
I can help you.
How could you possibly
help me?
Your people
are turning against you,
But together, we'll show them
you are a benevolent father
Who loves
all of his children,
No matter their flaws.
They would revere you.
And?
In return?
All i ever wanted
Recognition for what i am.
Canton status for you
would change nothing.
People will continue
to hate and fear deviates.
You're right.
Until they know
Who the real
deviates are
father.
No
You could not have survived.
But i did!
And now fate has returned me
where i belong.
At my father's side.
As his true son
and heir.
Never.
I am never unprotected.
You should have stayed away
and lived.
We have to stop dale
Otherwise we may never
make it home,
If there's even
a home to get to
One thing at a time.
I will search
for flash.
Wait, that device
of yours
The one that chirps
When earth things
are found on mongo?
The dimensional
frequency reader?
It could be helpful
in locating flash.
Yeah, that's a good idea!
If anybody can find him,
you can.
Right?
That's what
you're good at!
I'm a hunter,
it's what i do.
What you do
You are a scientist.
Find a way to disable
the rift generator
And stop dale.
I will look for flash.
Yeah!
I've never seen someone
like you before, brini.
What canton
are you from?
The tritons.
We live beneath
the southern seas.
Why do you come all
this way to harvest ice?
Why don't you get
your water from ming?
Because
i would rather be
Executed for poaching,
Than kiss someone's behind
For an allocation.
Th why i
have never heard
Of the tritons fighting ming?
Because we don't care
who rules-
Whether it's verden
Or ming
Or you.
It's all the same
Diglish dung to us.
You know, ming stays in power
because of attitudes like that.
I got to get
one of those.
For your trouble.
I heard you're working
with flash gordon?
Keep it.
Tell him
he has supporters.
Every canton
is turning.
I will tell him
when i find him.
Has he been
through here?
Not this day.
Or last
Hey! Out there!
Flash gordon's friend?
You say
flash is in trouble?
Yes.
I have excellent hearing.
Save the jokes.
I said nothing.
Get the guard to let me out
and i'll help you find flash.
Why would you do that?
A debt of honor to a man
who's been a friend to me.
I am terek
of the deviates.
One of many on mongo
Who are ready to fight
for freedom.
When we get this
loaded up,
You can take me to see
the queen, right?
I'm afraid
it's going to be
A little more complicated.
What? What are you
talking about?
Well, the capital is that way,
And i'm heading south.
If you start walking now,
you'll make it by next moonrise.
Wait a minute!
I helped you out,
we had a deal!
And i'd like to return
the favor, really,
But the frigians
haven't exactly
Been that friendly
to me these days.
Why don't you
come with me?
You'd like the tritons.
Yeah, you know what?
Thanks for nothing.
Thanks for wasting my time.
Fine, whatever.
It's your loss.
Ice poachers, halt!
No, no, no, no!
We're not ice poachers!
You are prisoners
in the queen's name!
Your crime is grave.
The ancient ice of frigia
Is my sacred duty
to protect,
In the queen's name.
Where is your queen?
Taken from us, sadly.
Until her hallowed return,
i shall rule as her regent.
Count malo,
let me buy the ice,
As my people did
when queen fria ruled.
Silence!
The ancient ice
Is for frigians only.
If the tritons want water,
then they can go to ming.
Never.
Then you know the punishment
for poachers.
You'll be stripped
of all your equipment
And left exposed
on the snowfield.
Wait! I didn't come here
to steal anything.
I was sent here
To help your queen!
He is the one?
This kind of stuff
happens to me.
Queen fria has been trapped
for many cycles
In the cave of the ice worm.
In her absence,
It has been
my honor
To care for her people.
You couldn't
rescue her?
Many brave warriors
have died trying.
It is said that the man
who frees her
Will become the ruler.
Well, not everything's
preordained,
But if you let me go,
i'll do what i can do.
Very well.
You have my leave to try.
Return his equipment.
Hers too.
She's with me.
Give the poacher
back her things.
The sacred ice
stays here.
By ming's order,
none leaves frigia.
Mine.
I believe
i've underestimated you.
What do you mean?
I thought you were
a shallow child
Trying your hand
at politics.
You knew.
You knew what terek is
And you kept it
from me.
What do you mean,
"what he is"?
Your womb-Mate.
Your brother.
And your son.
No! I will never acknowledge
a son like him.
Never!
Did you think
We would become
one happy family,
Sharing this empire?
Did you imagine
i would let anyone
Threaten what i have built
with my own blood?
Once he is dead,
You will never
speak of him again.
Now come say
your goodbyes.
Go!
Dale!
Didn't you
get my messages?
I tried your cell
about 30 times.
Sorry.
Battery's dead.
Okay, sure.
Look, dale,
i'm onto something,
And you need to hear it.
I've been looking
Into this thing
with lake kendal-
Yeah, drained
in a sinkhole
How weird is that?
Not weird enough.
There was no sinkhole.
I checked.
And the water
didn't drain away
It disappeared.
That's impossible.
Yeah, that's what
the geologists said
Before
they were replaced
By military guys
in hazmat suits
And the government put
a blackout over the whole story.
Why would they do that?
You tell me.
There's something
going on here, dale.
Something that can't
be explained
By anything on this planet,
and you know it.
Joely, i don't please.
You know what?
While you've been awol,
I've been
following up leads
About every alien story
in the state.
And every trail i find
Leads right
back to you
You and flash gordon.
I apologize for the lack
of an honor guard,
Benevolent father.
Many of them
have been called
To keep
the public peace.
Which cell
holds the deviate terek?
I'm sorry,
benevolent father,
I don't know
who you mean.
He was brought down
by my pleasure guards
Earlier today.
A deviate with a deformity
by his ear!
I'd remember
someone like that.
I have no record of him.
Nothing.
Oh, what have you fools done?
Why, father
Have you misplaced
something?
Oh, i should throw you
in this cell
In his place!
And how would that
look to your people?
It would make them hate you
even more, would it not?
What have you become?
Only what you've made me.
We are fools
to be doing this.
Then why aren't you
heading south?
I would
But you saved me
from an execution.
I'm in your debt.
Just because your poaching
nearly got me killed?
Think nothing of it.
I was trying
to help my people.
You'd do the same.
Or do you only help
frozen royalty?
By saving queen fria,
I have a chance
to take down ming.
Wonderful goal.
Too bad
you won't make it.
Excuse me?
No one survives
the ice worm.
We're both
going to our deaths.
Wait a second.
Ice worm?
Just tell me
what you know.
A police contact
showed me something
He probably
shouldn't have
Joe's psych report.
Where he tried to tell them
about the other planet?
They thought
he was crazy,
But he wasn't, was he?
No.
Joe was right all along.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god!
I knew it.
It's all true.
There really is something
out there.
Do you realize
how huge this is?
This story is too big
To keep secret.
I know.
But there's someone
i need to talk to first.
Yelad elte.
Elte kimol.
Yelad elte.
Elte kimol.
Yelad elte.
Rankol?
Baylin.
Have you come looking
for flash gordon?
What are you
doing here?
Praying
For safe passage
for a traveler.
Only the monks
pray here.
You're one of them?
If ming knew
He would have my head
for my divided loyalties.
Yes.
But my fear, or lack of fear,
changes nothing.
Destiny determines all.
Is this your excuse
for staying silent
While your own people
are slaughtered?
"My people"?
Must i serve
the deviate cause alone,
Because my body
has betrayed me?
Can i not be a scientist first,
or a monk?
I only care what you have done
with flash gordon.
I've done nothing.
He is being tested.
Tested? How?
Where?
You must understand,
It is forbidden for me
To attempt to interfere
with his destiny
But if fate takes his friends
To frigia
Who am i to interfere?
So, uh
Any chance this ice worm
is maybe not as big,
Or possibly just a legend?
Then it's a legend
That's killed
hundreds of frigians.
But i'm glad
You're with me,
flash gordon.
Th for
the confidence, brini.
You're welcome.
We tritons don't like
to die alone.
Brini, wait!
What?
Flash is nearby.
I see nothing.
The last time this device
Detected something
we could not see,
It was directly under us.
Here.
Those hould hold.
We are safe.
You are welcom
That's great,
but how?
It seems
you have many friends,
In high places
and low.
That's good to know.
Brini!
Brini!
I think she's alive.
If the cold
slows het,
She could survive,
but very briefly.
Turn up your weather suits
as high as it goes-
It's our only chance!
Come on!
Come on, brini, come on.
Brini, you can do it.
Come on!
I think it's working.
It's melting,
it's working.
It's working.
She's alive.
What?
Come on, brini!
Stay with us.
Come on, honey.
And this ruler, ming
He wants our water?
He'll take everything
he can get his hands on.
And a lot of people
will be hurt, or killed.
Unless
you make this broadcast
And tell the world
what is going on.
At least people can prepare
for the worst.
Be ready
if ming comes.
It may be
our only chance, norah.
After lawrence disappeared,
The men
in the suits came,
And they warned me
To keep quiet
about his work.
I knew that those men
were capable
Of doing anything,
Of hurting anyone.
We won't involve you.
Dale, it's you,
And anyone else
who knows about this.
Halt.
You know, i really appreciate
you saving me,
But this is where
we need to part ways.
You know, traveling
with this one
Will get you killed.
One grows
accustomed to it.
I'm sorry,
But i really
need to reach triton alive.
I understand.
We'll be all right.
I hope so.
But you probably won't be.
Now would be
a good time to explain
What you are doing here.
Well, it's
complicated, all right?
If i save queen fria,
I gain the support
of the celetroph monks
To unite the cantons.
If the monks think
that you're destined
To destroy ming
Then maybe
we're destined
To help you do it.
But you told me
That i was wrong
to aid flash gordon.
But now you have
acted alone,
And sent him
to frigia.
Why?
The fates placed
flash gordon into my hands.
He is set on course
To prove
that he is the one.
Then i was not wrong?
If he is meant
to be the one,
He will survive
frigia.
And if not?
Then we'll look elsewhere
for our salvation.
So, what do you know
about this ice worm?
Only that no one
has ever survived it.
This is the lair.
Somebody built a fire?
Those are pulverized bones.
The excretion of the ice worm.
I'm going to pretend
that's a fire.
Over here.
I'm guessing
this is queen fria.
How do
we get her out?
The same way
we got out brini.
Turn up
your weather suits.
Get comfortable.
We could be here
for a while.
Step away from her.
I am impressed,
Flash gordon.
Legends
are usually disappointing,
But here you are.
And you've added
two companions
To your quest- A verden
and a deviate, no less.
I'm guessing
you're not eager
To give up
the frigian throne?
Ming and i don't agree
on everything,
But we do agree
that holding on to power
Can be most rewarding.
Where i'm from,
that's called greed.
Put them in ice shackles.
If our guests
Wish to learn more
about frigia,
Then they can do so ???
They say that frost sickness
deadens the pain.
When the ice worm begins to gnaw
the marrow from your bones
You'll hardly feel a thing.
It is drawn
to movement.
Your struggles will
attract it eventually.
But this will
draw it much faster.
When the ice worm
begins to feed,
You'll still be alive.
Malo is wrong.
Our struggles will counteract
any frost sickness.
We will feel everything.
You summoned me,
Benevolent father?
Yes.
I have the solution
To our constant shortfalls
of source water.
We will set up
a transport system
To bring down large volumes
of pre-Sorrow ice from frigia.
Frigian ice?
And you believe count malo
will so easily comply?
He has already shown
his loyalty
By ceasing all ice trade
with the other cantons.
And, since malo
became regent,
Queen fria's people
???Compliant.
Begin
the preparations.
The reality of
a dangerous planet beyond ours
Is frightening
and hard to fathom.
But given
the shocking evidence
That i've just
shown you,
I hope everyone watching
will take this warning
Seriously.
I'm dale arden,
wiad channel 4.
Do you think
that'll convince them?
It sure as hell
convinced me.
That's one scary bombshell
you just dropped.
That's the idea.
Of course,
it'll be better
Once we cut in all the evidence
You just talked about
And actually
put it on air.
I know.
Just say the word,
and i'm on it.
Now if we only had a photo
of the rifts
Um
What are you doing?
With our tape?
Dale?
I don't know.
Well i can guess
what happens here.
The mind tap!
Ohh
Would it be asking too much
to find an instruction manual?
Leave me
alone, rankol!
I don't know
what an imex is.
Just let me go home.
Dr.
Hiller
Is that you?
I'm sorry, do i know you?
It's me, hans zarkov,
from earth.
Dr.
Zarkov?
So, you
You weren't captured
by rankol's mind-Tap device?
You have your own free will?
Yes.
Then you
should get out.
Escape while you can!
I can't
They made a device-
A dimensional-Rift generator-
And i have to destroy it.
How do i do that?
Is it even possible?
Only dr.
Gordon
could answer that.
Are you saying
that dr.
Gordon's alive?
Is he in there with you?
Come on, guys!
Don't give up on me!
If we can just
Get these ice shackles
to melt a bit
We may have a
chance.
We will only delay the end.
Their device
will bring the beast.
And our increased blood flow
will only make us more aware,
As our bones
Are ground into powder.
Ha, ha! See?
I told you!
Ow!
All right!
Turn my suit on.
I can't reach it!
I'm sorry.
We're going to
get out of here.
Something's approaching.
Hey, blondie.
You didn't think
i was really
Going to leave you here
to be eaten alive?
Actually, yeah, kind of,
i did.
I'm hurt.
Isn't there something
you want to say?
Yeah.
Baylin, would you
kill her for me, please?
Come on,
come on, come on!
Oh, man.
Hurry up!
Turn it off!
The ice worm is near.
How near?
Can we outrun it?
I cannot tell
which tunnel it is in.
We might run
right into it.
We got to
do something!
Geez!
Baylin brini
Get the ice-Cutter.
Quickly.
The symbol,
what does it mean?
I guess you've never
seen wile e.
Coyote?
You're a strange man,
flash gordon.
Why is this thing
not attacking us?
Perhaps it's toying
with its next meal.
Which tunnel
is he going to come out of?
Flash.
Flash!
Flash!
Cut it down!
Cut it down now!
Okay.
It is dead.
Your plan worked.
You don't have to sound
so surprised about that.
We should really be
getting out of here.
We will.
As soon as i finish
what i started.
Ming's patriots
will mine the ice,
And we will guarantee them
a safe passage.
This heralds
a new age of partnership
With the great ming.
The queen!
The queen!
Not while i reign!
Queen fria.
Your most humble servant.
Not too humble
to fill my throne.
Or to strike
a bargain
With ming.
Trying to serve your people,
my queen.
By closing
our borders?
Refusing to trade our ice
to the other cantons?
Well, i was only guarding
your interests.
You looked after
your own interests,
And none other.
I will let you live,
count malo.
But you will be
encased in ice
For 20 cycles
As i was.
And who knows?
Perhaps you will emerge
A wiser man.
No.
No, you can't!
No!
No! You can't!
I was only serving
the people of frigia!
No!
You can't, no!
Prepare a celebration!
I will be bonded,
And flash gordon
Will rule frigia
at my side!
Uh what?
Wait, wait.
What?
It is your right,
as my rescuer.
Uh but there wasn't just
one rescuer, all right?
