Flash Gordon Page #2

so much amusement recently.

We're only interested in friendship.

Why do you attack us?

Why not?

Pathetic earthlings.

Hurling your bodies into the void. -

- Without an inkling of

who or what is out here.

If you knew anything about

the Universe, you'd hide from it.

Come closer.

Not you!

- You. Let us see you.

- No.

- Dale!

- Don't.

- Did you ever see such response?

- No. Truly.

She even rivals your daughter.

- What happened?

- Don't know, but it was sensational.

Remove the Earth woman.

Prepare her for our pleasure.

Forget it, Ming. Dale's with me.

- Stay back!

- Don't, Flash, they'll kill you.

I'll go with them, just...

You...!

Klytus!

Are your men on the right pills?

Maybe you should execute

their trainer.

Come here!

You fools. He's playing some

barbaric game. Match him, like this.

- Forty one! Forty two!

- Go, Flash, go.

Go, Flash, go!

Don't kill him yet, Father.

I want him.

Give him to me.

What would Prince Barin say?

I can handle Barin.

Please...

Really, Aura. Your appetites

are too dangerous. I refuse.

Guards! Deliver the scientist

to General Klytus for conditioning.

This one has defied us

before our subjects.

We order him disposed of tonight

by public execution.

This is a public announcement.

Flash Gordon is to be executed -

- at 29.15 Mingo mean time.

Fly back to your kingdom.

You may see me sooner than you think.

- Lying b*tch.

- I'll come.

If you rocket there right away.

I've a surprise for you.

- Don't you love me?

- I don't trust you.

Just be there.

I demand to see the Governor.

I can hardly breathe in this thing.

Yes, you don't look well. And I'm told

you refused your final meal.

- The chef will be upset.

- Tell him to go to hell!

Gas works more quickly

on an empty stomach. Any requests?

- Let me see Dale right away.

- Oh, dear. How pathetic.

Yes, I anticipated that.

Bring in the Emperor's concubine.

- Oh, my God!

- I said I want to see her!

You have until the sands run out.

Pathetic...

You look great.

No kidding, you look great.

It's the eye make-up. I hope

I remember the trick when I wake up.

That's exactly

what I was gonna tell you.

This isn't happening.

It's just a bad dream.

I agree completely.

We'll wake up any minute

in Dark Harbor and laugh about this.

Only, next time I'll walk over

and talk to you.

- Promise?

- Cross my heart and hope to...

- I really will talk to you, Dale.

- What if we're wrong?

- What if it isn't a dream?

- You'll find Zarkov, save the Earth.

He'll get you home in the capsule.

Don't think of me, think of...

Don't look at it.

It won't turn over...

It won't turn over.

Did you enjoy yourselves on Sybaria?

I hear you flew the Doctor there.

Klytus kindly fed me the information.

He wants me himself. His agents

are always making up lies about me.

Look!

Water is leaking from her eyes.

It's what they call tears,

a sign of their weakness.

This will help you on your way.

Flash!

FLASH GORDON -

EARTHLING EXECUTED BY MING

Hurry.

You know what happens

if I'm found out.

I'm a fool for you, Aura.

There we are. Sybaria again,

same place, next weekend?

I can hardly wait.

- Where am I?

- Back from the dead. I saved you.

- How?

- By magic, of course.

- With a kiss, because I like you.

- Where's Dale and Zarkov?

They're safe. Put this uniform on

before the Lizard Men come.

Don't worry, I won't look.

I like you a lot.

- Where are you taking me?

- To the moon Arboria.

I've got to rescue my friends

and save Earth.

Pretty risky telling that

to the Emperor's daughter.

- What's in Arboria?

- People who'll help you.

- Prince Barin does anything I ask.

- That's Zarkov!

They're just conditioning him

to our climate. Keep out of sight.

Every thousand years I test

each life system in the universe.

I visit it with mysteries,

earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses.

Strange craters in the wilderness.

If these are taken as natural, I judge

that system ignorant and harmless.

I spare it. But if the hand of Ming

is recognized in these events -

- I judge that system dangerous.

I call upon the great god Dyzan.

And for his greater glory,

and our mutual pleasure...

I destroy it utterly.

So it's my fault

Earth is being destroyed?

Precisely, Doctor.

I thought it might amuse you to

know this, before your mind is gone.

Proceed with it.

What are you doing to me?

We're just emptying your mind.

We are going to empty your memory

as we might empty your pockets...

- Doctor...

- No, don't. Please. I beg you.

My mind is all I have. I've spent

my whole life trying to fill it.

Begin.

Now he showed promise.

Papa!

- Hold it there.

- Reprogram now?

Yes.

But don't fill him with anything above

level three. His mind can't take it.

I understand. Level three only.

I have to attend to something.

- Can you manage without me?

- I'll try.

I'll return.

Begin to reprogram.

Continue to level six.

I gave you an order.

Program the subject to level six.

Try again.

Your left hand controls direction,

right does the altitude.

And use your fingers too this time.

Gently, darling,

it's extremely sensitive...

- Like me.

- What's that?

The planet Aquaria.

Now take a left over Frigia,

the next moon rising.

Every moon of Mongo is a kingdom.

My father keeps them fighting.

It's a really brilliant strategy.

- Why don't they team up against him?

- Team up? What does that mean?

- Maybe I'll show you sometime.

- Wonderful.

You can do it

when I take you to Cythera.

It's my secret pleasure moon.

I have a little palace there.

- Just for two.

- Wait a minute.

- Oh, Flash, I saved your life.

Drink this.

It has no name.

Many brave men died to bring it here

from the Galaxy of Pleasure.

It will make your nights with Ming

more agreeable.

- Will it make me forget?

- No.

But it will make you not mind

remembering.

This isn't bad at all.

It's a thought amplifier. I'm going to

think to Barin to expect us.

- You're kidding. Think to him?

- Of course.

- Don't you have telepathy on Earth?

- Could I call Dale on this?

- If I showed you how. But I won't.

- Please, show me.

You'll have to persuade me

much better than that.

What are you doing? Are you mad?

Let go, we're diving into Frigia.

- Pull up.

- Just tune me in to Dale.

Dale, it's me, Flash.

Are you getting me?

Oh, my head.

If it only was you.

- She's not getting me.

- Use your brain.

I'm with you, Dale. Just concentrate hard.

It's telepathy.

Can this be real?

I saw you executed.

- I was saved.

- Thank God. Where are you?

In a rocket to Arboria, to get help.

Are you okay?

- I'm locked in Ming's bedroom.

- Fake him out. Girls know how.

It's been done to me.

"Fake him out till I get back."

It's too dangerous for you here.

Stay where you're safe.

- This girl really turns me on...

- I didn't quite get that.

- It wasn't about you.

- What?

I've got to go, someone's coming.

Got to stop thinking to each other.
