[growling]

[♪]

Ming.

[spectators gasping]

You mean
he's going to
wake up?

Yes. Any moment now.

Come to earth
with us.

You're a fugitive now.
We can hide you.

I cannot abandon
the verden.

Not to mention exposed
barin as a traitor,

Which greatly weakens
his standing among
the cantons,

And gives you a reason
to imprison him
when he's caught.

You going somewhere?
To mongo.

I've been summoned
by the voices of the dead.

The verden insurgents

Are still refusing
to report for enrollment.

Implement my plan.

[villagers screaming
and gasping]

I cannot leave mongo now.

Then we'll stay with you.

Baylin,
please slow down.

My people are in danger.
I cannot delay.

We want to help,
but you need to
take it easy, okay?

When we reach
the verden village,

There will be time
for "easy."

We are close.

Be alert for sentries.

I am too late.

[monks chanting]

Haven't we had enough
mystical testimony
recently?

The sacred creature
chooses its moment to strike.

No man may hasten
or delay it.

[chanting continues]

[hisses]

[gasps]

[monk]:
The speaker is chosen.

Toume shend
senkeld pebeg kuslerave!

Senkeld akilepun!

[speaker sputtering
and gasping]

Akilepun...

"a broken people
will receive aid
from afar."

What's that supposed to mean?

My people aren't broken.

"aid from afar."

Could these monks
know of my plan for earth?

The monks themselves
know nothing...

But the prophecy knows all.

Must these prophecies
always be delivered

In such obscure phrases?

Perhaps I should learn

This language
of the celetrophs myself--

Do away
with the interpreter.

I'm told that it takes
the novices of the order

A lifetime
to master the tongue.

Then I should have you
learn it for me,

With that deviate brain
you're so proud of.

[speaker gasps]:
Treyan...

Shesil...

Toriofar!

There is more.

So I gather.

He speaks of the warrior--

The one who will unite
the cantons.

I hope you're going
to tell me that he's been

Brought to his knees
along with his people.

"the warrior child will
take the place of the father."

More obscure language,
I fear.

No.
Rankol, no.

I know exactly who he means.

Barin of the verden.

My tribe's home
is destroyed.

Ming must've
done this.

Yes, this is the work
of his troops.

Baylin, I'm so sorry.

We should take a look around,
see if we can find anyone.

There is no scent
of a massacre.

All the same.

[grunting]

Hey.
Flash gordon?

Do you always come
when the verden
are in trouble?

Yeah, it's a knack.

We're going to try
and get you out of here,
okay, buddy? Push.

Someone laid
this trapline.
[flash grunting]

Hey.
Nice moves.

Self-defense classes
at the "y".

Noted.

All right.
Hold on.

What happened
to the town?

Is this all
because of barin?

Yes. When our leader
tried to kill ming,

Ming took away our freedom
as punishment.

We were ordered
to report to the city
to enroll as captive labor.

And you didn't go?

Some of us had to remain free,
to remain verden.

So now we are fugitives.

So he sent the soldiers
to burn you out?

And the bounty hunters followed
to round up the holdouts.

I need your knife.

First, I must dispatch
these two bounty hunters.

Wait! No!

Baylin, please,
just give me the knife.

Baylin, let them be.

Thank you.

All right.
Are you ready?

One... Two...

Three.

[cries out]

[groaning]

Thank you.

Let's get him up.

[grunting]

The others...

There were others,
taken by hunters.

Taken where?

To the labor
market.

To be sold as slaves.

Death would be
a much better fate.

[flash]: We've got to get
nokwen some help, quickly,

Then we've got
to get to the labor market
and save these verden.

Larik.

You know the rules, baylin.
Don't bring trouble in here.

Where is kiel?

He's in back.
Same as ever.

Then we'll require
a steep of calminut.

Through the back.
I will talk to larik
about the others.

Hey, are you
the doctor?

Our friend
needs some help.

Put him down.

He's pretty bad.
He was attacked
by bounty hunters.

I don't care
about his story.

I just
sew 'em up.

[groaning softly]

Did you bring my tea?

Yeah. It's on the way.

What do you hear of verden
in the city?

I assume all I see
have been enrolled,

As required by the code.

Just like your friend.

And yourself, I'm sure.

And the fugitives?

What price do they bring
on the labor market?

You'd be lucky to find one.

There's a turin trader
buying them up

As fast as
they go on the block.

How can ming
order an entire
village destroyed,

And its people
sold as slaves?

Doesn't anyone
object?

By the code,
the price must
be paid

For barin's
assassination
attempt.

In his stead,
we make restitution
for his treason.

Why doesn't barin
just do it himself?

He would be executed.

Without him,
what hope is there
for the future?

So you all risk your lives
to protect him?

The arborean forest
is our home.

They can burn our cloister,
but they can't catch all of us.

We will live in hiding
until barin returns

To lead us.

[coughing]

Okay. Okay. Easy. Easy.

What's that junk?
Calminut?

You know
what I need.

Larik's got
the good stuff.

Dream tea.

This will help focus you.

Larik will bring the other
when the job is done.

[sighs heavily]
are you sure
about this?

This guy can hardly hold a cup,
let alone suture a wound.

He is nokwen's best option.

[gasping in pain]

Flayknife.

Nasty.

Will he survive?

I've seen worse.

He'll live
through this.

But if he doesn't enroll,

I'm just patching him up
to get killed later.

Easy.
Don't worry
about your friend.

I'll take care of him.

What'd you find out
about the captured
verden?

A turin trader

Is buying all
who are brought in.

You mean like
what happened to you?

It is no fate
for a free verden.

Find them
and buy them,

Before it's too late.
Leave me here.

I'll stay here
and keep an eye
on things.

We'll come back for you.
Keep your head low.

And drink nothing.

[groaning]

[traders calling out,
buyers chattering]

This guy?

Hey.

Hey.

Looking for something
in particular?

We're looking for
a few good verden.

For the right price,
I'll get you whatever you need.

What will this buy?

It is genuine death jaw.
Very valuable.

Nice piece.
Can't help you.

I deal in flesh,
not bone.

Come on, there's got to be
something we can work out.

You're out of luck anyway.

I just sold
my last few verden to
that turin dealer over there.

[shackles clanking]

Those are them?
Purchased by
that turin.

Maybe it's not too late
to save them. Let's go!

Get out of here! Run!

Please stop.

Barin?

[meekly]: Sorry?

Hey, tea-seller.
How can I help you?

I hear you got a cut man here.
Stitch you up for the price
of dream tea.

He's busy right now.

Yeah?
I was kind of hoping
you'd say that,

'cause we're looking for a
verden runaway with a big slice
out of him.

Then you're in the wrong place.

House rules-- no looking,
no finding, no collecting.

[both laughing derisively]

[weapons charging]

I ain't big on rules.

So how about you point me
to the infirmary?

Thank you.

Where-- where am I?

You're going to be okay.

Well, well, well.

Or maybe
I spoke too soon.

Didn't run far
enough, verden.

What are you doing?

Oof!

Stick to your tea,
old man.

This has nothing
to do with you.

[groaning]

Well, well, well.

You're even better
the second time around.

Get the wounded one,
I'll take her.

Let go of me.

I'm not one of your fugitives.

Ah! But you helped
one escape, didn't you?

And that puts you
outside the code,
and fair for market.

[chuckling evilly]

I've sent those that
could help to our
northern camp.

It has yet
to be discovered.

Oh, so this
is your big plan?

Keep buying the verden
back, one by one?

There must be
a better way.

I'd be happy to hear it,

Because right now
I'm barely keeping up.

Last week,
two of our
elders were sold

Before I had the funds
to buy them back.

And to gather a force
to challenge ming,

You would have
to abandon those
already taken.

And that I cannot do.

As long as the verden
are being dragged

To the labor market,

I will hunt by night...
And sell by day.

You're hunting celetrophs?

Does anything
on the planet
pay more per drop

Than celetroph venom?

If you live
to collect your
earnings.

Things that are
easy to come by

Do not bring
a high price.

Okay, you two want
to fill me in on this?

The celetroph
is a sacred
creature.

Its bite brings
instant death,

And the monks believe
second sight.

The venom can cause
intense visions

When used as a steep.

So, basically,

Those little guys
get you high?

Yes.

Not the proudest way
to make a living,

But, right now,
I cannot afford
the luxury of pride.

This all started
when you attacked ming,
which was because of me.

This is all my fault.
No.

Not you.

Ming has always feared me.

This "treason" I committed

Merely gave him the excuse
to declare me a renegade.

Hey, no offense,
barin,

But why should he
be afraid of you?

I mean, it seems to me
he's holding all the cards.

The prophecy
of the celetroph order

Tells of a warrior

Who will bring
ming's downfall.

I am that warrior.

Is it any surprise

He wants to grind me
and my people into dust?

We have to get back
to dale and nokwen.

[aura]: Our best cook
has been sent to the tunnels to
dig?

I imagine you'll get by
with those that remain.

I've told you before, aura,

Not to get too attached
to the servants.

If you fear
the verden so much,

Why bring them
into the city?

Until the verden threat
is neutralized,

I will keep them
where I can see them.

And yet,

You cleared out
half your courtesans--

The verden half.

This is about the prophecy,
isn't it?

The verden
are not trustworthy.

I prefer to keep them
away from my food.

And my bed.

I can't believe
you actually listen
to those ridiculous rumors.

Are you seriously
afraid of this prophecy?

Of course not.

Hey. Hey!
Where are
our friends?

Taken.

What do you mean, taken?

Why didn't you
stop them?

I told you,

I just stitch 'em up.

I'm not a hero.

Who was it?

Couple of hunters.

Seemed like
they had a grudge.

I should have killed them
when I had the chance.

Damn it.
We've got to
find dale.

They will be on the block
at the labor market.

To get them
will require funds.

What about those,

Uh, celetroph thingies?
What about them, huh?

Impossible.
What do you mean,
impossible?

I heard it's a good way
to make money fast.

It is also a good way
to die fast.

You've never harvested
these creatures before.

First time
for everything.

[monks of the celetroph order
chanting]

[head monk]:
♪ amyule... ♪

♪ amyule ayan ♪

♪ amrune ♪

♪ amrune aran ♪

♪ amyule...
Amyule aran ♪

These the monks?

Yes.

They paint themselves
to prepare for death.

Wait. Wait.

I've seen
these guys before.

These are the guys that
broke me out of jail

And put me
back on earth.

This makes no sense.

Why would the monks help you?

That's my question.

How would they know
where to find you?

Or how to send you home?

Okay, I changed my mind,
those are my questions.

[monks continue chanting]

Okay, what's with
the dead guy?

A celetroph poacher.

The monks have given him
his final blessing.

You mean he was--

Doing what
you're about to do.

I told you
this was a foolish plan.

Well, it's the only one
we've got.

[monks departing clearing]

Only the females
carry the venom.

The males
are useless.

I'm not even going to
touch that one.

All right,
tell me what to do.

You must reach your hand
in deep to get them.

What? You want me
to put my bare hand

In this hole,
with no glove
or anything?

I mean, that does
not sound like
we're practicing

Safe celetroph
hunting to me.

The females will
be attracted to your scent.
They will come to a man.

A woman,
they will attack.

Your perspiration
will be used as bait.

Now, it will help
if you remain frightened.

Well, consider me
well-prepared, then.

All right.

[celetrophs
clicking and trilling]

Say I get bitten by
one of these things,
all right?

Is there any, you know,
magical antidote,

Or chance of you
sucking out the venom,

Anything like that,
that would keep me from dying?
Anything?

I can carry your body
back home to be honored
by your family.

Well, that's very
reassuring, baylin.

Thank you. Ahem.

Okay. Here we go.

All right. Uh...

One celetroph coming up.

Oh, god, I got one.

I got one.

Oh, yeah. Ah...

Ha...

[celetroph hisses]
oh! It just bit me!

Oh, god!
Oh, man...

I don't want to die.

I knew this was
a really bad idea.

Okay, baylin,
promise me this--

Promise me--
tell dale that I--

See that bump?
Yeah?

It is a male.

If it were a female,
you would be dead right now.

So I'm good?
Yes.

[celetroph hisses]

Okay.

Here we go.

You are not
reaching far enough.

You must go deeper.

Oh...Kay.

Mm. This is fun.

Here, celetrophs...

No, I got one!
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Here we go.

[celetroph twittering]

It is female.

[hissing]

Definitely a female.

Okay. Good. Good.

Let's get the hell
out of here.
No. Not yet.

One will be enough
to buy back nokwen,
but we need more for dale.

Right. Fine.
How many?

A woman like her
will fetch a high price.

How many?
At least six more.

Six?

My friends.

I'm so glad
to see you.
So are we, buddy.

We have the money
to secure your release.

Barin will help
you leave the city
and head for safety.

Barin is here?
In the city?

Yeah, keep it down, please.

Where's dale?

The procurer was here.

He chose women
to be taken to the citadel.

The citadel? Wait.

You mean
he's purchasing women...

...For ming to...

Oh, no.

There's only
two guards.

Come on,
we can take 'em.

Come on, girls.

Look at this room.

You know what's coming.

Seriously.
This is not
an honor.

How dare
you keep
your feet?

Dale arden?

Take the rest away.

I have made my choice.

And I expect
a most pleasurable evening.

Is flash gordon
with you?

No. It seems
that, right now,

It's just you and me.

Mm... Very nice.

[chuckling]

And?

A little short
for my taste...

But not bad.

You're a brave woman.
I'll give you that.

I thought a man
as powerful as you

Would surround
himself with strong,
challenging women.

Like you?

I would have to
offer myself first.

And I have not.

You see, the thing
with strong women is,

You need to let them
make up their own minds.

Very clever.

I see where this is going.

Of course you do.

You're a very
intelligent man.

And you're
an intelligent woman.

And we have lots
to talk about.

Halt.

You dare?

I do.

Hel--

[muffled pleas]

[muffled]: Flash?

It's nice to see you, too.

Now, don't worry,
I'm not here to
bother you.

I just need to know
where dale is.

A procurer bought her
for your father.

Now, where would he
be holding her?

Why would I tell you?

'cause you kind of like me?

I don't want you thinking
that I'm always going to do
whatever you tell me,

And I don't like
your friend, dale,
period.

So I don't care where she is,
or what's happened to her.

But perhaps...

I know something
you do care about.

Are you insane coming here?

My father is on the warpath
against all verden.

He would happily
have your skin.

All I have to do
is raise the alarm.

Before you do that,

You may want to hear
what he has to say.

Haven't you ever wondered
about your mother?

You know who she was?

Not "was."

Is.

She's alive?

I knew he lied to me.

Help us find
dale arden,

And when she is safe,

I will tell you
how to find your mother.

[seductively]:
So...

If it's talk
you want...

Why don't you tell me
why you're here?

I would be
most curious

To know what
brought you back.

I'm here to help a friend.

A verden friend.

Ah.

You don't seem to be
helping much.

I don't know.

I'm here.

Talking to the one person
who can end their suffering.

Maybe it's fate
that brought me
here tonight.

[sharply]: Fate?

I wonder.

Tell me...

...Do you believe
in prophecies?

I don't know.
I've never actually heard one.

Well, I know
of one.

It predicts my demise...

And barin's rise to power.

Does it frighten you?
No.

I'm a man of reason.

It's nonsense.

Then you should
have nothing to worry about.

You're right.

I don't.

Because it's finally
clear to me what
must be done.

Thank you.

Make yourself
comfortable.

I may be a while.

Oh.

I will be back.

But it won't be
to talk.

A pot of your finest,
tea-seller.

They fetched a good price,
your fugitives?

Oh, now you're going to
want a cut, because I plucked
them out of your place?

No, I make my money
other ways.

Dangerous work,
fugitive hunting.

Takes a fast hand
to stay in business long.

What do you
know about it?
You pour tea.

[cackling]

I've met a few bounty hunters.

Some of the best
have come in here.

Some of the others
have retired young.

Mm. Well, I'm going to be
sticking around for a while,

'cause it seems
this little verden enrollment

Is easy money
for a guy like me.
[chuckling]

You will never again
buy your tea

With the blood
of my friends.

It is a shame
there is no doctor here.

[drives blade in]

Ow!
Dale!

Dale!

Would you stop
attacking me?

Barin?

Sorry.

Flash?

Where to?

This way.

Are you, uh,
are you okay?

Did-- did ming,
you know?

Did he--

No. We just talked.

Mostly about you.

I am flattered.

Uh-oh.

For the protection
of loyal denizens,

The fugitive insurgent,
barin of the verden,

Is hereby declared
forfeit to the code.

Until he is brought
to justice,

Those who aid him
will pay his forfeiture.

At first light,

10 verden will die
in his name,

And 10 more
at nightfall,

Until justice
is done.

Why is he doing
this now?

Is he not satisfied
with enslaving my people?

You should have
heard him tonight.

He kept talking
about some prophecy

That predicted that barin
would overthrow him.

Of course, the monks.

He's terrified of it.

Yeah, he seems to think
it's going to happen soon.

The latest testimony says

That a broken people
will receive help from afar.

And we're the help
from afar.

And ming has issued
this execution order now

Because he wants to
beat his fate

And give me no choice
but to surrender,

Before this prophecy
is fulfilled.

Ming has won.

Okay, you can't
just barge in there
without a plan.

There is no time
left for planning.

You know he'll
kill you, right?

At least no more people
will die in my name.

Do you think none
will try to avenge you?
There will be deaths.

No. I do this
to save my people.

What are the verden
without barin?

I can name 10, and 10 more,
and 10 beyond that,

Who would gladly
give their lives
to spare yours.

Which is why I must end this
before that happens!

You've got to give us
a chance to come up with a plan!

Enough!

I will stand
by your side.

[♪]

Keep it safe for me
when I am gone.

I hope you understand--
this is not my choice.

This is barin's decision.

Your leader allows his people
to pay the price

That should rightly
be borne by him.

March them to the promenade
for the public executions.

Wait!

Barin.

In the nick of time.

Free them
and I am your prisoner.

You are my prisoner
either way.

However...

Release them.

Postpone
the ceremony.

My apologies
for disrupting your plans.

I'm sure
you were looking forward

To arranging
scores of verden funerals.

And now I will have just one,

But I will enjoy it
just the same.

With your death,
barin,

The verden royal line
will come to an end.

The stirrings of uprising
will cease.

My rule will be unchallenged.

The enrollment
has been canceled.

The verden who were forced
to come to the city

Have been set free.

What?
What has happened?

Barin has made his choice.

He surrendered to ming
to protect you guys.

No! We're ready to fight
and others like us!

His sacrifice
must not be wasted.

It is over.

You must leave the city
and rebuild your home.

This will honor his memory.

Wait.

The reason ming's
so determined to bring barin
down

Is because of
this prophecy, right?

He's willing to murder
the verden because of it.

So, if it's all
about this prophecy...

What if we could
change the prophecy?

Glad to see
you're finally
where you belong.

Did you come here
for a reason

Or merely to enjoy
my misfortune?

Can't it be both?

I'm here to ask
about my mother.

[exhaling slowly]

Do you really expect me
to be concerned with that now?

You made me a promise.

I'm counting on
your precious honor.

In the chamber
of archives,

There's a pendant
made of memory stone.

Come back
when you have it.

You must mean this.

You really are
quite clever.

Yes.

Now, tell me
where it came from,

And what it has to do
with my mother.

It holds
your birth imprint.

When you are close
to your relatives,

It will glow
with an internal light.

That doesn't exactly help.

I'm not going to go up
to every woman on this planet

Waiting for it
to start glowing.

Where do I start?

You want to know more?

Come back tomorrow.

You'll be dead by tomorrow.

Very likely.

But you still hold
some influence.

Keep me alive,
we'll talk then.

[disdainfully]: You.

Okay...

I am, like...

80% sure
that this little dude is a dude.

I think.
I mean, he's got
the little bump

Under there, right?

It is difficult to tell.

Do you think
we can really pull this off?

Well, what choice
do we have, right?

I mean, either we do this,
or we let barin die.

I'd rather try a long shot
than do nothing at all.

We need two more
willing to join us
in the circle.

I won't have any trouble
finding verden to help.

The one who receives
the bite and testifies

Removes the mask
and reveals his face.

He must have the look
of a real monk--

Painted and bald.

Bald? Okay, I can do tha--

I will do it.
Thank you.

I would have died yesterday
if you had not come
to my rescue.

This may be the reason
I was saved.

Thank you.

You honor
your family
and canton.

What about
that language

That we heard them
chanting?

I mean, uh,
do you know it?

No.

No one but the true monks

Know the lost language
of the order.

Well, now,
this might be a problem.

Maybe not.
When you say no one...

Not even ming?

The celetroph dolan,

He's the translator
for ming.

Then all we have to do

Is sound enough
like these guys to pass.

And the "dolan"
needs to sell it.

Consider me volunteered.

When you give the prophecy,
it needs to sound mystical
and obscure.

You can't just claim it says
"you can't kill barin,"

Because ming knows
it doesn't work that way.

But don't get all
nostradamus, either,

Because then he might just
miss the point entirely.

Would you rather do it?

No.

You're going to be great.

[♪]

Hey, brother.
You got a light?

[zapping]

Quickly.

All right,
so when I light this...

The signal smoke will
rise above the sacred chamber.

Ming will see it is time
to hear the testimony
and he will come.

Here goes nothing.

There's no
turning back now.

Success...

Or a swift death.

[chanting]

[hisses]

[sighing impatiently]

Pation athe retus

Pative tural no mome

Dalnatience ters devourave

Ompative.

Speak, then!
What is the prophecy?

Yes. What did he say?

What is the prophecy, dolan?

It is spoken...

That the forces

Gather at your gates.

"in failure...

"he triumphs.

"in death,

He rises."

This is about barin.

Again.

"in failure, he triumphs."

If I kill him now,
I create a martyr.

[snarling]:
Will I never be rid of him?

It is your choice.

You may execute him
in the morning,
as planned.

If you feel
that it is wise.
No!

Clearly, execution would cause
more problems than it solves.

I will keep him imprisoned

For the rest
of his miserable life.

And let this be
the last we hear of it.

Dolan?

A word.

Ave alulle.

Testhate doy hildon.

Refon in kirs.

Ne?

A most enlightening ceremony.

[deep breath, relieved]

[footsteps approaching]

I had the new cooks
make yernit stew for you.

You know
how it always
soothed me.

When you were a child.

If only life
were still so simple.

Was there
something else?

I was wondering
about barin.

I heard you've delayed
his execution.

I know you were
so looking forward to it.

I can always
have him killed later.

In the meantime,

He might provide
useful information.

I suspect
he knows many things
he hasn't revealed.

Father, if I were
to plead for his life,

Would that
make a difference?

Why would you
do such a thing?

When I asked you
to bond with him

For the sake of unity,

You couldn't
tolerate the man.

Now you've suddenly
become fond of him?

Let's say I have.

You swore to have his head
on a pike...

And a strong ruler

Does not change his mind
on a whim,

Or on the word
of prophets.

Of course not.

But to spare an enemy
out of love for your child?

That is truly the act
of a benevolent father.

Then...

Out of respect

For the feelings
of my daughter...

Barin shall live.

[footsteps approaching]

They were impostors!

Yes, dolan.

This entire ceremony
was heresy!

Yes, dolan.

To light the smoke

And call the father
to hear testimony

Without the presence
of the true circle!

Can you not see--
that's--
yes.

As you say, heresy.

But we cannot speak of it.

If ming were to learn

That our sacred chamber
had been compromised,

He may begin to question
the entire prophecy.

I have no doubt
that he would turn
on our order.

So you suggest
that we allow this
to happen?

I suggest
more than that.

I believe that this
was meant to happen.

The day of false truth?

Now?

Prophecy from
generations ago
speaks of this day,

When an uninitiated man

Would bring forth
inspired speech.

Is that not
what has happened?

You think this visitor
from earth

Is that man?

That's why you asked
for my help,

To keep him alive.

Flash gordon had his chance
to escape to safety,

And yet he returned.

His fate is bound to ours
in some way.

Can he be the one
we have waited for?

Only time will tell
for certain.

But one thing
we do know...

He has passed
the first test.
