PREVIOUSLY ON FLASH GORDON...

I AM MING.
JOE WYLEE,
YOUR PRISONER.

ARE YOU OKAY?

[LENU]: YOU HAVE BEEN IMPLANTED
WITH A NEURAL-EMITTING ANODE.

WHEN CALLED UPON,
YOU'LL DO AS YOU ARE COMMANDED.

THE IMEX.
NOW NOTHING CAN STOP US.

BE PROUD
TO CALL YOURSELVES DEVIATES.

ALL MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN TOLD
YOU WERE AWFUL CREATURES,

BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT NOW.

THEN STAND WITH ME
AGAINST THIS INJUSTICE.

STOP! STOP!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
INTRODUCING YOU TO TEREK,

YOUR BROTHER.

WE WILL HAVE OUR MEETING
WITH THE BENEVOLENT FATHER,

WHETHER HE WANTS IT
OR NOT.

I'M TIRED OF HIS EXCUSES.

AND I ASSURE YOU,

WE ARE WORKING
TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM

AS SWIFTLY AS POSSIBLE.

BENEVOLENT FATHER...

AT EASE.

SHE MEANS NO HARM.

BUT CLEARLY YOU DO.

FOR THREE MOONS,

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED
OUR ALLOTMENT OF SOURCE WATER.

OUR CROPS ARE DYING

AND OUR RESERVES
ARE ALMOST GONE.

I WANT OUR WATER
AND I WANT IT NOW.

OH, YOU ARE NOTHING
IF NOT PREDICTABLE, VESTRA.

I WAS JUST EXPLAINING

TO MY VENERABLE
DACTYL FRIENDS,

WE'RE HAVING
DISTRIBUTION PROBLEMS,

BUT WE'RE WORKING HARD
TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION.

WELL, PERHAPS YOU NEED
TO WORK HARDER.

DRY MOUTHS WHISPER
THE LOUDEST.

AND WHAT DO THEY WHISPER?

THEY SAY THAT
YOUR SUPPLIES OF SOURCE WATER

ARE NEARLY EXHAUSTED.

[LAUGHS]

AND LAST CYCLE, THEY SAID

THAT I WAS PLANNING
TO INVADE FRIGIA.

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN
TO LISTEN TO RUMORS, VESTRA.

YOU WILL HAVE YOUR WATER.

[MING]: TELL ME
YOU'VE FINISHED.

WE ARE STILL CALCULATING
THE PRECISE RIFT POINTS.

YOU SWORE TO ME,
RANKOL,

WITH THE IMEX
YOU WOULD SUCCEED.

WELL, YOU HAVE IT!
I'M TIRED OF WAITING.

WE'RE FOCUSING
THE EGRESS RIFT

INSIDE THE RESERVOIR.

THERE.
IT'S DONE.

THEN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

NOW!

I THINK YOU SHOULD
BE THE ONE,

BENEVOLENT FATHER.

IT'S WORKING.

[RIFT ALARM WAILS]

OH...

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

OH...

FLASH, YEAH, UH...

WE GOT ONE, AND IT'S BIG.

REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BIG.

GET EVERYBODY
AND MEET ME AT LAKE KENDAL.

DO YOU SEE
ANYTHING?
NO,

BUT FROM THE RADIANT
PLASMA LEVELS I'M GETTING,

THERE'S A RIFT AROUND
HERE THAT'S SO BIG,

HE COULD BE
SENDING AN ARMY.

I DO NOT BELIEVE
HE IS SENDING SOMETHING.

I BELIEVE
HE IS TAKING SOMETHING.

WHAT THE HELL?

THIS ISN'T GOOD.

IT'S DISAPPEARING.

THAT EXPLAINS
THE SIZE OF THE RIFT.

HE'S STEALING LAKE KENDAL.

[***]

SUCCESS.

AT LAST.

AND THIS IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING.

LET US HOPE
THAT THE DIMENSIONAL DIVIDE

CAN WITHSTAND THE STRESS.

ARE YOU CAPABLE
OF HAPPINESS, RANKOL?

THIS IS A HUGE TRIUMPH.

LET'S TRY TO ENJOY IT.

I AM PLEASED.

FOR THE MOMENT,
IT WOULD SEEM

THAT ALL OF OUR
PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.

YES, YES.

CALL A MEETING OF
ALL CANTON AMBASSADORS,

AND BEGIN DISTRIBUTION
IMMEDIATELY.

HAVE YOU NOT CONSIDERED

THAT THE PEOPLE OF EARTH
MAY MISS THEIR LAKE

AND BEGIN ASKING QUESTIONS?

THE ONLY PEOPLE ON EARTH
WHO KNOW ABOUT US

ARE FLASH GORDON
AND HIS FRIENDS.

YES, AND ACCORDING TO MY PROXY,
THEY'VE TOLD NO ONE.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
THEY'RE ON OUR SIDE.

SEND ORDERS
TO OUR PATRIOTS

TO WATCH FOR HIM.

OH, AND RANKOL,

TELL THE DOLAN
I WANT TO HEAR TESTIMONY.

I HAVE A FEELING

THE PROPHECY
WILL FAVOR ME TODAY.

WE'VE GOT TO STOP HIM.

HOW DID HE PULL THIS OFF?

RANKOL MUST HAVE ENHANCED
THE RIFT GENERATOR.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO
BLOW IT UP.

[JOE]: I DID SIX MONTHS
ON THE BOMB SQUAD.

GET ME THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
AND I CAN BLOW UP ANYTHING.

GOOD, BECAUSE
WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT.

WE'VE GOT TO STOP HIM
BEFORE HE DOES THIS AGAIN.

THIS IS HUGE, FLASH.
MAYBE NOT THE TYPE OF THING

WE SHOULD BE HANDLING
ON OUR OWN.

NO, NO, NO, LOOK,

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS
A MILLION TIMES.

NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW
ABOUT THIS.

HE JUST STOLE
A LAKE.

THIS IS A LITTLE BIG
FOR US.

SHE'S GOT A POINT,
FLASH.
SO DOES ZARKOV.

IF YOUR PEOPLE FIND OUT
ABOUT DIMENSIONAL TRAVEL, THEY
TOO WILL--

I KNOW, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
WILL BE DESTROYED.

OKAY, IF WE CAN'T BLOW IT UP
AND TAKE OUT THE THREAT,

THEN WE'LL TELL.

YOU WANTED
TO SEE ME, FATHER?

YES.

AURA, I'VE NOTICED
YOU'VE BEEN, UM...

YOU'VE BEEN DISTANT LATELY.

NOW, IS THERE SOMETHING
TROUBLING YOU?

AND WHY WOULD YOU
THINK THAT?

YOU'VE BEEN
SO GOOD TO ME.

YOU SO LOVINGLY MURDERED
THAT YOUNG MAN

IN FRONT OF ME,

AND THEN YOU
SO THOUGHTFULLY

LEFT ME TO DIE

IN THE HANDS OF
DEVIATE KIDNAPPERS.

WHY WOULD I
BE TROUBLED?

INDEED.

WELL THEN,
I HAVE SOMETHING TO CHEER YOU.

I'VE DECIDED IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO HAVE A TITLE.

SO, I'M APPOINTING YOU
AS PREFECT.

NOW, YOU LIKED BARIN,

SO I'M THINKING
THE VERDAN PREFECTURE

WOULD BE A SUITABLE POSTING.

A PREFECT, REALLY?

MM-HMM.

YOU THINK I'M READY
FOR THAT?

WELL, OF COURSE NOT,
BUT YOU'LL LEARN.

WELL, THANK YOU, FATHER.

BUT I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THE VERDAN.

PERHAPS I COULD BE
MORE USEFUL TO YOU

AS PREFECT
TO THE DEVIATES.

THE DEVIATES?

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

THEY JUST KIDNAPPED YOU.

I LEARNED A LOT
WHEN I WAS AMONG THEM.

I BEAR THEM NO ILL WILL.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN
A RECOGNIZED CANTON.

PERHAPS
THEY SHOULD BE.

THEY'RE ANGRY, FATHER.

ANGRY, AND THEY HAVE
NOTHING TO LOSE,

AND UNLIKE THE OTHERS,
THEY DON'T NEED YOUR WATER.

SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE SHUT OUT,
YOU HAVE NO INFLUENCE OVER THEM.

I COULD CHANGE THAT.

WELL...

THEY ARE BECOMING A PROBLEM,

AND IT WOULD DIFFUSE THEM.

VERY WELL, THEN.

I ASSIGN YOU
AS PREFECT TO THE DEVIATES.

[CHUCKLES]

AND YOU TRY
NOT TO LET THEM KILL YOU.

I GUESS WE'RE LUCKY
WE DIDN'T LAND
IN THE LAKE.

BUT WHERE IS IT?

'CAUSE I SURE DON'T SEE
A PLACE TO HIDE A LAKE
AROUND HERE.

I'VE RECALIBRATED
THE DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY READER

TO DETECT ANYTHING FROM EARTH,
TO TRACK THE WATER.

BAYLIN, DO YOU KNOW
WHERE WE ARE?

WE ARE IN
A RESTRICTED ZONE.

WHY WOULD THIS
BE RESTRICTED?
THERE'S NOTHING HERE.

OH, YES, THERE IS.

[BEEPING]

WHAT?

LAKE KENDAL.

IT'S RIGHT BELOW US.

AN UNDERGROUND RESERVOIR?

LOOK OUT!

OKAY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LONG
UNTIL MING KNOWS WE'RE HERE.

WE BETTER MOVE.
HEY...

WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK
WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE?

I DON'T WANT YOU
TO GET HURT.

IF SOMETHING HAPPENED
TO YOU, I...

I KNOW, BUT WE'RE
IN THIS TOGETHER.

LET'S GO.

I AM HAPPY TO REPORT

THAT THE PROBLEMS
WITH TRANSPORTS

HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED,

AND YOU WILL ALL HAVE
YOUR SOURCE WATER ALLOCATIONS

BY MOONRISE.

SO, YOU SEE,

AS I SAID--

EXCUSE ME, FATHER.

YES.

AS I SAID...

YOU, DOCILE,
COME WITH ME.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING
IN THERE?

HE'S MY FATHER.

I WANTED TO SEE HIM.

HE'S SHORTER
THAN I THOUGHT.

OH, CONGRATULATIONS,
BY THE WAY.

THEY'VE ANNOUNCED THAT YOU'VE
BEEN
MADE PREFECT.

IMPRESSIVE.

HOW DID YOU
GET IN THERE?

I HAVE FRIENDS
IN UNEXPECTED PLACES.

AND THIS?

FOR MY PROTECTION.

OUR FATHER'S
A DANGEROUS MAN.

YOU WERE GOING
TO KILL HIM.

WOULDN'T THAT
BE SWEET JUSTICE?

KILLED BY THE SON
HE THOUGHT HE MURDERED.

BUT NO,

I MERELY WANTED
THE SATISFACTION

OF KNOWING THAT
I COULD KILL HIM.

I WOULDN'T DO SO BEFORE
WE WERE PROPERLY INTRODUCED.

THAT WOULD BE RUDE.

THIS IS NO TIME
TO BE GLIB.

ANY ACTION
THAT WOULD HARM HIM

WOULD ONLY FURTHER
ISOLATE THE DEVIATES.

YOU TELL ME THAT
AS MY PREFECT,
OR AS MY SISTER?

AS A FRIEND.

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU HELP
ARRANGE A MEETING

BETWEEN THE BENEVOLENT FATHER
AND TEREK OF THE DEVIATES?

THIS IS
NOT THE TIME.

THEN I'LL ARRANGE
A MEETING OF MY OWN.

BUT I WARN YOU,

IT MAY NOT END WELL.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO,

BUT YOU HARM HIM,
OR TELL HIM WHO YOU ARE,

AND I WILL
KILL YOU MYSELF.

I'VE JUST LEARNED THAT
FLASH GORDON AND HIS COMPANIONS

HAVE BEEN SPOTTED
BY PATROL PROBES

OVER THE RESERVOIR.

THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR THEIR LAKE.

DOES THE BENEVOLENT FATHER
KNOW THIS?

NO.

HE'S SCHEDULED TO HEAR
TESTIMONY FROM THE MONKS.

I DON'T WANT TO UPSET HIM.

CAN WE ASSUME THAT YOUR PROXY
IS STILL WITH FLASH GORDON?

I'VE INSTRUCTED HIM
TO STAY WITH HIM

WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

HE WILL COMPLY.

ANY ATTEMPT TO TAMPER
WITH THE IMPLANT

WOULD KILL HIM.

EXCELLENT.

NOW MAY BE THE PERFECT TIME
TO PROVE TO MING

HOW EFFECTIVE
YOUR TECHNOLOGY CAN BE.

INSTRUCT YOUR PROXY
TO LURE FLASH GORDON TO US.

OF COURSE.

MING WILL BE PLEASED.

AND THE OTHERS?

ONCE WE HAVE FLASH GORDON,

I WILL SEND PATRIOTS
TO PICK THEM UP,

BUT FIRST,
HAVE GORDON BROUGHT TO YOU.

I MUST GO TO THE TESTIMONY.

I'M AFRAID THAT I WON'T BE ABLE
TO SHARE IN YOUR VICTORY.

HOW COULD MING HAVE DONE THIS? I
THOUGHT YOU SAID

THE RIFT TECHNOLOGY
WAS IMPERFECT.

IT IS, OR IT WAS.

NO WAY HE COULD HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT THE IMEX.

WHICH YOU KEEP SAFELY HIDDEN
IN A TEA TIN IN YOUR LAB.

DID YOU KEEP IT ON A WORKBENCH
IN THE BACK OF YOUR LAB?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I MUST HAVE HEARD ONE OF YOU
TALKING ABOUT IT.

SO YOU THINK
THAT RANKOL'S GOT IT?
BUT HOW?

WELL, THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
HOW HE WAS ABLE TO STEAL
AN ENTIRE LAKE.

OKAY, WE GOT TO BLOW UP
THIS RIFT GENERATOR AND QUICK.

WHO KNOWS,
THE OCEAN COULD BE NEXT.

THE FIRST THING WE NEED
IS EXPLOSIVES.

I KNOW A MAN.

GAFF.

HE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP,

BUT WHAT WE NEED
WILL BE EXPENSIVE.

THAT'S WHY
WE BROUGHT THIS.

JOE AND I WILL TRY TO
TURN THIS WATER

INTO SOME DRAM.

YOU GUYS FIND
THIS GAFF GUY.

LARIK WILL KNOW
WHERE TO FIND HIM.

MEET US
AT THE STEEPHOUSE.

[GROANS]

HEY, HEY...

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

I'M FINE.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, THIS GUY
THAT BAYLIN KNOWS,

HE'S SORT OF
A MONGO VERSION

OF A PAWNBROKER.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
SELL HIM THIS STUFF.

JUST HOPE THEY LIKE BASEBALL
ON MONGO.

JOE? JOE?

JOE...

JOE!

THE NEW PROPHECY PROCLAIMS,

"THE WATER BEARER
IS THE RULER REBORN."

DID YOU HEAR THAT,
RANKOL?

YES.

I AM
THE WATER BEARER.

I BROUGHT WATER
FROM EARTH.

I HAVE BEEN REBORN.

WE REJOICE IN THE PROPHECY.

NOT ONLY HAVE I DELIVERED
WATER TO MY PEOPLE,

THE WATER HAS DELIVERED ME.

MY DESTINY HAS BEEN
RE-WRITTEN.

YOU'RE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING
ABOUT A USURPER?

IT SPOKE ONLY
OF THE RULER REBORN.

I HAVE BEATEN FATE,
RANKOL.

YOU SAID YOURSELF,
THE PROPHECY ONLY SPEAKS TRUTH.

WELL, TODAY,
THERE IS A NEW TRUTH.

THE RULER IS REBORN.

THIS MUST PLEASE YOU.

LET THE USURPERS COME.

HOW I WILL CRUSH THEM ALL.

NOT EVEN FATE CAN BEAT ME.

[STROBING BEEP]

THERE'S SOMETHING
I NEED YOU TO DO,

AND AS BEFORE,

YOU MUST NOT TELL
ANYBODY ABOUT ME,

OR OUR
LITTLE CHATS.

UNDERSTOOD.
GOOD.

I NEED YOU TO BRING ME
FLASH GORDON.

DONE.

THIRD THROW.

PAIR OF 20s OVER A NINE.

BLUE TAKES 50.

GAFF...

STILL WASTING TIME
ON THE CHANCE?

JUST BIDING MY TIME

TILL YOU SHOWED UP, MY BEAUTY.

SAY THE WORD,

I'LL END THE GAME
AND GET US A CHAMBER.

THERE IS NOT A CHAMBER
ON THE PLANET.

OH...

SO, THIS IS HIM?
HE HAS WHAT WE NEED?

WHAT HE DOES NOT HAVE,
HE CAN GET.

ARE YOU ABLE
TO MEET MY PRICE?

WE WILL BE.

OUR FRIENDS
WILL BRING DRAM.

THEN LET ME BUY YOU LADIES
A STEEP

UNTIL YOUR FRIENDS ARRIVE.

AND YOUR...

BONDSMAN?

NO, THANK YOU.

I'VE SWORN OFF
THE STUFF.

WELL...

UNTIL OUR FRIENDS
ARRIVE...

I CLAIM RED.

FIRST THROW.

YOUR LACK OF FAITH
SHAMES US ALL.

I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL,

FOR CYCLE UPON CYCLE,

AND FOR WHAT?

SO MING'S REIGN
OF RULE AND BRUTALITY

COULD BE EXTENDED?

THIS IS NOT FAITH.

IT IS PRIDE.

IT IS NOT FOR YOU
TO QUESTION DESTINY.

WHAT IS SPOKEN
WILL BE.

BUT IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
BE THIS WAY.

THE GREAT WARRIOR--

THE WARRIOR IS NOT COMING.

IT IS YOUR DUTY
TO ACCEPT THAT.

I CANNOT.

YOU CAN,

AND YOU WILL,

BECAUSE THAT IS
YOUR DESTINY.

NO.

MY SCIENCE MADE MING
THE WATER-BEARER.

I AM RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS TWIST IN FORTUNE.

EGO AND PRIDE.

FEEL THAT.

IT IS THE SKIN OF THE MONKS
WHO SERVED BEFORE YOU.

DID THEY MAKE ANY COMPLAINTS
ABOUT THEIR FATE?

NO.

THEY GAVE EVERYTHING
WITHOUT A WHISPER OF PROTEST.

I KNOW, AND I AM ASHAMED.

I DARED TO HOPE
THAT FLASH GORDON
WOULD DELIVER US.

THE PROPHECY SAID NOTHING
OF GORDON.

YOU MADE THAT DECISION.

BUT YOU SAID SO
YOURSELF.

ALL OF THE SIGNS SEEMED
TO POINT TOWARDS HIM.

YOU WERE WRONG.

WE SERVE THE PROPHECY.

WE DO NOT SHAPE
OR DICTATE IT.

IF YOU HAVE LOST SIGHT
OF THAT,

PERHAPS YOU WOULD BE
MORE USEFUL TO THE ORDER HERE.

7 OVER 17s.

DOUBLE DIGLISH.

RED TAKES 3-40,

AND YOU'RE EMPTYING
MY POCKETS!

I AM MERELY
PASSING TIME

UNTIL OUR FRIENDS
BRING THE MONEY

FOR THE SUPPLIES
WE REQUIRE.

THOUGH THEY ARE TAKING LONGER
THAN EXPECTED.

GIVE OVER THE CHAIR.

LEAVE YOUR DRAM THERE,

AND I WILL GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU CAME FOR.

PAID IN FULL?

IN FULL.

JOE?

JOE!

FLASH!

THERE YOU ARE.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

NOTHING, I LOOKED AROUND,
AND YOU WERE GONE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT,
NEVER MIND.

LET'S JUST
GET OUT OF HERE

BEFORE WE RUN INTO
ANY MORE TROUBLE.

GOOD IDEA.

OH, HEY, TOO LATE.

THIS WAY!

WHAT?

RUN, RUN!

GO!

AURA?

WHAT IS THIS?

THERE'S SOMEONE
I WANT YOU TO MEET.

I AM TEREK.

HOW DARE YOU BRING A DEVIATE
INTO MY HOME?

HE'S THEIR LEADER.

HE WANTS TO
SPEAK TO YOU,

AND AS THEIR PREFECT,
I ARRANGED THAT.

IS THIS IS THE ONE
WHO KIDNAPPED YOU?

FATHER, NO!

HE DIDN'T HARM ME.

HE JUST WANTS
TO TALK TO YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE A COWARD
AND SUMMON YOUR GUARDS,

BUT YOU'D FACE ME YOURSELF.

I RESPECT THAT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WE WANT YOU TO STOP THE PURGING
OF DEVIATE BIRTHS.

AS DIFFICULT AS THIS MAY BE
FOR YOU TO HEAR,

DEVIATION
IS A SICKNESS.

IT IS A CANCER
THAT THREATENS
TO DESTROY US ALL.

NOW, MY DUTY
IS TO PROTECT MY PEOPLE,

AND I WILL,

HOWEVER DIFFICULT
THAT MAY BE.

AND MY DUTY
IS TO PROTECT MY PEOPLE,

EVEN IF IT MEANS
KILLING YOURS.

THAT'S ENOUGH!

THREATS ARE NOT
THE ANSWER.

THEY MEAN US NO HARM.

THEY ONLY ASK

TO BE TREATED
AS OTHERS ARE.

NO, AURA,

BUT THEY ARE NOT
LIKE OTHERS,

BECAUSE THEY CARRY THE SEEDS
OF OUR DESTRUCTION.

AURA, I KNOW YOU MAY
THINK ME CRUEL,

BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING

THAT I HAVE NEVER
TOLD ANYONE.

YOUR MOTHER
HAD DEVIATE BLOOD.

SHE WAS
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,

WHO SHOWED NO SIGNS,

SO I DID NOT KNOW...

UNTIL SHE GAVE ME A SON.

A DEVIATE.

I DID NOT SEE IT,

BUT FROM ALL ACCOUNTS,

IT WAS A WRETCHED

AND TWISTED CREATURE

SO REPUGNANT OF FORM,

THAT WHEN IT WAS LEFT TO DIE
IN THE BANELANDS,

EVEN THE HENJA BEASTS
WOULD NOT TOUCH IT.

SO, DON'T TELL ME
I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN.

I UNDERSTAND IT
ALL TOO WELL.

[SPITS]

THEY'VE CAPTURED
FLASH GORDON.

THE BENEVOLENT FATHER
WILL BE PLEASED.

YES.

I'M ON MY WAY
TO TELL HIM NOW.

WAS IT AT LEAST
A DIFFICULT CAPTURE?

NOT AT ALL.

[LOCK BEEPS]

LEAVE US.

WE WANT
OUR LAKE BACK.

TOO LATE FOR THAT,
I'M AFRAID.

SO THAT'S IT, THEN?

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO STEAL
OUR CLEAN WATER?

WE WILL DO WHAT WE MUST
TO SURVIVE.

LIKE WORK FOR MING?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.

HERE YOU ARE,
YOU'RE MING'S RIGHT-HAND MAN,

AND YET YOU'VE SAVED MY LIFE
MORE THAN ONCE.

WHY?

I THOUGHT THAT YOU
WERE SOMEONE ELSE,

BUT I WAS WRONG.

YOU'RE NOT THE ONE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

TOUME SHEND

PEBEG KUSLERAVE.

NOW I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

"A BROKEN PEOPLE

WILL RECEIVE AID
FROM AFAR."

MILAK ZEM THRUGDA.

"A GREAT WARRIOR

UNITES THE CANTONS."

DESTA RELL TUMA VEET,

VESTIMA SEP.

"AN INNOCENT
WILL RETURN US TO INNOCENCE."

THAT'S CELETROPH PROPHECY,

WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH ME?

NOTHING!

BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
THE ONE!

YOU ARE JUST SOME SOJOURNER
WHO GOT LUCKY!

LUCKY?

THIS IS LUCKY?

AND IF YOU THINK
I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THAT PROPHECY,

I WOULD GET
THAT PLATE OF YOURS EXAMINED.

HOPE BLINDS.

I KNOW.

I CAME TO THIS PLANET

HOPING TO FIND MY FATHER
STILL ALIVE!

BUT YOU TOOK CARE OF THAT
FOR ME, DIDN'T YOU?

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS
THAT YOU DON'T SEE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

HOW I COULD HAVE THOUGHT
IT WAS YOU.

YOU GOT ME.

I'M NOT,

AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT YOU,

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT ANYONE ELSE

ON THIS FORSAKEN PLANET.

AND NO ONE ON THIS PLANET
CARES ABOUT YOU EITHER.

NOT ANYMORE.

YOU KNOW TOO MUCH,

ABOUT MY PLANS,

MY SACRIFICES.

I CAN'T RISK MING
FINDING OUT.

GUARD!

OPEN.

HEY, YOU.

I HAVE SOMETHING
FOR YOU.

[BLAST]
[GROANS]

THAT IS THE KEY
TO RANKOL'S LAB.

HE WAS HERE.

HE'S DEAD.

I THOUGHT THAT
FLASH GORDON WAS HERE.

HE ESCAPED,

AND HE KILLED
THE GUARD.

MOST UNFORTUNATE.

FIND HIM,

AND THIS TIME,
I WANT HIM SHOT ON SIGHT.

I WANT ALL OF THEM DEAD!

SECURE THE AREA.

WE WILL PLANT THE CHARGES,

AND DESTROY
THE RIFT GENERATOR.

WHAT IF I SEE SOMEONE?

AIM FOR THE CHEST.

HEADS ARE DIFFICULT
TO HIT.

RIGHT.

WHOA...

IS THAT
WHAT I THINK IT IS?

IT'S OUR LAKE.

IT APPEARS SO.

THERE ARE AQUEDUCTS,
AND TUNNELS

AT THE POINT WHERE YOU FIRST
DETECTED THE WATER.

THAT RESERVOIR
IS HUGE!

CAN YOU IMAGINE
THIS GUY'S FUNDING?

COULD YOU PLEASE STICK
TO THE TASK AT HAND?

YES, OF COURSE.

YOU KNOW, OF COURSE,
IF WE DO THIS,

WE'RE NOT GETTING
OUR LAKE BACK.

AND IF WE DO NOT,
MING WILL STEAL MANY MORE.

OH, NO.

I THINK I JUST FOUND
THE POWER SOURCE.

LOOKS LIKE SOME KIND OF
CONTAINED THERMO-GENERATION
UNIT.

NO, STOP!
STOP...

STOP?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

PSST!

IT IS POWERED
BY XYRILIUM.
XYRILIUM?

IT WAS A XYRILIUM EXPLOSION
THAT CAUSED THE GREAT SORROW.

COUNTLESS DEATHS
AND THE POISONING OF OUR PLANET.

IF WE BLOW THIS UP, WE WILL
DESTROY ALL OF MONGO.

AH...

FLASH! WHERE'S JOE?

WE GOT SPLIT UP.
I GOT GRABBED
BY SOME PATRIOT GUYS,

BUT I THINK HE GOT AWAY.
PATRIOTS GRABBED YOU?

YEAH, I JUST ESCAPED FROM
AN INTIMATE ONE-ON-ONE
WITH RANKOL.

SPEAKING OF WHICH,
AREN'T YOU GOING THE WRONG WAY?
HIS LAB'S THAT WAY.

NO, WE CANNOT BLOW UP
THE RIFT GENERATOR.
WHAT?

THE POWER CORE
IS COMPOSED OF XYRILIUM.

ISN'T THAT THE STUFF
THAT CAUSED THE GREAT SORROW?

YEAH, AND APPARENTLY
IF WE BLOW IT UP,

IT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

GREAT, GREAT, SO MING GETS TO
KEEP HIS RIFT GENERATOR.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

WHOA. HEY...
EASY THERE...

JOE...

I'M ON YOUR SIDE,
REMEMBER?

THANK GOD,
THEY DIDN'T GET TO YOU.

YEAH, I DUCKED OUT OF SIGHT
JUST IN TIME.

IF THEY KNOW WE ARE HERE,
THEY WILL COME AFTER US.

WE MUST LEAVE
THE CITADEL NOW.

[DALE]: HOW ARE WE GOING
TO GET PAST THE CHECKPOINTS?

LET'S SPLIT UP. FLASH AND I
WILL HEAD OFF ON OUR OWN.
IF THERE'S ANY TROUBLE,

WE CAN BE A DISTRACTION
FOR YOUR ESCAPE.

NO. I'M NOT GOING TO RISK
THE CHANCE OF LOSING ANYBODY.

I REALLY DON'T SEE
ANOTHER WAY.

THERE IS ONE,

BUT IT COULD BE
VERY DANGEROUS.

LEAD THE WAY.

SO, THESE ARE THE PIPELINES
THAT LEAD TO THE CANTONS?

YES.

ONCE MING TOOK CONTROL
OF THE WATER,

THE SYSTEM WAS SEALED.

THE SCREEN THAT SHOWED YOU
THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM,

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD LEAD US
TO THE RESERVOIR?

I BELIEVE SO.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
I'M THINKING WE MIGHT NOT
BE ABLE TO BLOW UP

THE RIFT GENERATOR,
BUT IT'D BE A SHAME TO WASTE
PERFECTLY GOOD EXPLOSIVES.

IT IS TOO HEAVY
TO OPEN WITH A BLAST.

SO CLOSE...

WAIT.

WHAT ABOUT THE KEY WE USED
TO OPEN RANKOL'S LAB?

NICE WORK, DALE.

I GUESS THIS IS IT.

WE MUST BE
UNDER THE RESERVOIR.

THESE GOT TO BE
THE PIPELINES THAT LEAD TO
THE DIFFERENT CANTONS.

ACCORDING TO MY DIMENSIONAL
FREQUENCY READER,

THERE'S DEFINITELY A LOT
OF SOMETHING FROM EARTH UP
THERE.

LAKE KENDAL.

AND SOME CONFUSED TROUT.

YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO
THROUGH WITH THIS, FLASH?

OH, YEAH, THERE'S NO WAY
I'M GOING TO LET MING

GET AWAY WITH STEALING
OUR LAKE,

AND SINCE WE CAN'T GET IT BACK,
WHAT BETTER WAY TO
SCREW HIM OVER

THAN TO DELIVER IT FOR FREE
TO THE CANTONS?

OKAY, EVERYONE
GRAB A CHARGE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
SPREAD THEM OUT EVENLY

AROUND THIS
RESERVOIR HERE.

BAYLIN AND I WILL TAKE CARE
OF THE RESERVOIR.

AND ZARKOV AND I

WILL TAKE CARE OF THE TIMER
AND DETONATOR.

[GROANS]

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING
HERE, RIGHT?

YOU BET.

OKAY, I'M GOING
TO GO MAKE SURE

THOSE CHARGES
ARE SET UP PROPERLY.

IT'S NOT WORKING.

AH!

STEP AWAY
FROM THE CHARGE!

I DO NOT
UNDERSTAND.

NOW!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

KILLING YOU.

OKAY, JOE, BUDDY, TALK TO ME.
WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'M SORRY,
BUT I HAVE TO KILL YOU.

WHY, EXACTLY?

JOE, STOP IT!

WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED,

THAT SCIENTIST
WHO TORTURED HIM,

SHE MUST HAVE
PROGRAMMED HIM.

LISTEN TO ME, JOE.

THEY'VE DONE
SOMETHING TO YOU.

DON'T MOVE!

FLASH!

SHOOT HIM.

[GROANING]

DALE, SHOOT HIM!

JOE!

WHERE THE HELL...

I DON'T KNOW, YOU TELL ME.
ARE YOU WITH US?

JOE...
DALE, MY HEAD.

WHY DID YOU SAVE ME?

BECAUSE I KNOW
THIS ISN'T YOU.

WHATEVER THEY'VE DONE TO YOU,
WE CAN FIX IT.

ALL RIGHT?

WHAT
THEY'VE DONE...

WHAT DID THEY
DO TO ME?

WHAT HAVE I DONE?

IT'S GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS
WHEN WE GET BACK TO KENDAL.

RIGHT NOW,
IS THAT THING READY?

WE NEED TO GET
THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

LET'S GO!

I SURE HOPE
THIS THING WORKS.

COME ON, JOE,
YOU CAN DO THIS.

OKAY. IT'S READY.
EASY...

I GOT YOU.

THE TIMER IS SET.

[BEEP]

BUT...
OH!

WHAT?

I DON'T THINK
IT'S GOING TO WORK.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

[GROANS]

JOE! JOE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

JOE, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?

MING'S NOT GOING TO WIN
THIS ONE.

JOE, YOU'LL BE KILLED.
GIVE ME THE KEY.

I'M THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN DO THIS.

JOE...

GIVE ME THE KEY.

DON'T.

I CAN'T LIVE
WITH THIS THING IN MY HEAD,

OR WHAT IT MIGHT
MAKE ME DO.

I LOVE YOU.

JOE...
NOW GO.

NO...
PLEASE.

NO!

COME ON, BAYLIN.
JOE, COME ON!

LIFT! JOE, DON'T
DO THIS! COME BACK!

BUDDY, COME BACK!
COME ON!

[STRAINING]
LIFT!

[DALE]:
JOE...

[FLASH]: JOE, COME ON!
DALE, GO.

JOE, COME HERE,
PLEASE. JOE, PLEASE.

JOE!

WE MUST GO.
WE MUST GO!

DAMN IT. JOE!

WE'VE GOT TO GO.

WE'VE GOT TO GO.
JOE!

COME ON.

[SPARK AND EXPLOSION]

[WATER RUMBLES]

JOE!

JOE! JOE!

WE MUST GO!

JOE!

HELP ME.

I HAVE ALLOWED MY DOUBT
TO CONSUME ME,

AND I CAN NO LONGER
SEE THE TRUTH.

TIMES OF TRIAL
MAKE US STRONGER,

AND WE MUST EMBRACE THEM
WITH GRATITUDE.

WHO BROUGHT THE WATER
TO THE PLANET?

MING AND I.

TO MY SHAME.

WHO BORE IT
TO THE PEOPLE?

FLASH GORDON...

SON OF LAWRENCE GORDON,

WHOM WE ONCE LOOKED TO
FOR OUR FUTURE.

"THE WATER BEARER
IS THE RULER REBORN."

CAN IT BE?

HE HAS PASSED
THE SECOND TEST.

FLASH...

YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE.
MY FATHER--

DON'T YOU DARE
TALK ABOUT YOUR FATHER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

MY FRIEND, JOE, IS DEAD
BECAUSE OF YOUR FATHER.

I DIDN'T KNOW.

WHAT CAN I DO?

BRING JOE BACK?

GET WORD TO YOUR BROTHER.
FIND A WAY FOR HIM
TO TAKE CREDIT

FOR DELIVERING WATER
TO THE CANTONS.

WHY?
WHAT DID YOU DO?

WHAT HAD TO BE DONE.

THEN WHY LET TEREK
TAKE THE CREDIT?

BECAUSE YOUR FATHER
IS A THIEF AND A MURDERER,

AND FROM NOW ON,
HE'S GOING TO PAY

FOR EVERY DROP OF BLOOD
AND WATER THAT HE STEALS.

I'M SO SORRY, FLASH.

DON'T.

BE CAREFUL, AURA.

GREETINGS, DENZINS--

I AM TEREK,
LEADER OF THE DEVIATES.

TODAY, I GIVE
ALL PEOPLE OF MONGO A GIFT

AS A GESTURE
OF FRIENDSHIP.

I HAVE FOUND FRESH WATER

AND HAVE SENT IT
FREELY AND EQUALLY

TO ALL CANTONS.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

BROKE INTO
YOUR FATHER'S SYSTEM

AND POSTED THIS
BY YOURSELF?

I HAVE MANY
INTERESTING HOBBIES.

I AM IMPRESSED.

SO AM I.

YOU ARE VERY
CHARISMATIC.

LOOK HOW EFFECTIVE
THAT IS.

ALL WITHOUT YOU
HURTING ANYONE.

I THANK YOU,

AND FLASH GORDON.

HE WILL BE AN IMPORTANT ALLY
IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

NOT NEARLY
AS IMPORTANT AS I.

AND TOGETHER,
WE'LL BE UNSTOPPABLE.

YOU NEED NOT
FEAR US.

WE ARE YOUR FELLOW DENZINS,

YOUR WORTHY BRETHREN...

I'M SO SORRY.

GOODBYE, JOE.

AMEN.

THE MEMORY CHARM
IS HOW WE HONOR OUR FALLEN.

I WOULD LIKE TO HANG THIS
FOR JOE.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

HE WOULD NEVER
HAVE EVEN HEARD ABOUT MONGO
IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME.

NO, NO, NO,
THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT.

THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT,
THIS IS MING'S,

AND HE'S GOING
TO PAY FOR IT.

I'M SO SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.
