Previously on flash gordon...

Zarkov.

I'm sorry.

If the verden need water,
then join me.

We are not yet that thirsty.

Hello, barin.

Baylin.

You understand nothing
of politics.

I'm not stupid,
and I want to be useful to you.

Flash gordon's father
brought this trouble to us.

What is this thing?

It is our water machine.

Your father built it.

Where are you going?

To bend my knee
before that tyrant, ming.

It would be an honor

To request
the bond of your daughter.

We have a problem.

The rift has collapsed.

We're stuck on mongo.

I'm hungry.

How can you be hungry?

You just packed away
a ton of grain cakes.

Covered with alika sap
and nut cream.

I have never seen
anything like it.

That was hours ago!

Uh, no, that
was an hour ago.

We just left
the verden.

Well, what can I say?

Fixing their water machine,

And saving an entire culture
from extinction

Gives me an appetite.

This is true.
My people are
forever in your debt.

I don't suppose
there's some kind

Of a plaque or something?
You know, like a certificate?

"employee of the month"
kind of thing?

A little something I could
hang in my lab back home?

Paging dr. Zarkov--

There is no way
back home.

Our original rift
collapsed, remember?

Okay, okay, just asking.

I know we have to
get to barin and warn him
not to submit to ming,

But I must say,
I do not share your enthusiasm
for the task ahead.

Come on,
we can't just
hang out on mongo

And wait for ming
to open up another rift.

I am just pointing out
that it is very dangerous.

She makes a good point.

I mean, as much as
I'm dying to get a look
at the rift generator,

I'd rather not die
to get a look at it.

Hey, come on, guys!
Come on, positive thinking!
Happy thoughts.

I mean, all we have
to do is sneak
into nascent city,

And break into
ming's citadel,

Find the rift
generator,

Figure out how to work it,
open a rift,

And then jump through
to earth.

What do you think?

I think we're dead.

I think you should hold tight
to those happy thoughts.

I have a feeling
you will be needing them.

Okay, fine.

You know what we used to do
in the boy scouts

To make the hikes pass by
a little quicker?

We used to sing.

I'm tone deaf.

Fine, then we'll whistle.

That will only
attract the deviates.

Wow, a tough crowd.

So, am I the only one
who's hungry?

[monks chanting]

I feel a change
in the wind, rankol.

The bonding of
your daughter and barin?

It's a good omen.

I'm sure of it.

Then why summon the monks
for a reading?

It never hurts to have
a second opinion.

[chanting continues,
cadence increasing]

[hisses]

[hisses]

Ah.

Finally.

It has bitten.

[monks' chanting subsides]

[prophesizing in tongues]

[monks' chanting grows rhythmic
and escalates]

What was the prophecy?

[monks continue chanting]

Speak!

It is foretold

That the reign
of the benevolent father

Draws to a close.

What?

A great warrior

Unites the cantons.

A new order arises.

The prophecy lies.

The venom of the celetroph

Grants the victim
the gift of future sight.

They only speak the truth
of what they see.

I don't believe it.

This great warrior...

When will he come?

He is already here.

[♪]

♪ and if
one of those bottles
should happen to fall ♪

♪ 47 bottles of
fruited-source water
on the wall ♪

Somehow, it just doesn't have
quite the same ring.

Do you smell that?

Oh, god, it smells
like something died...

Last month.

What?

Oh, okay, yeah,
I get it.
I get it.

I'm not gonna win
mongo idol, all right?

Oh, what is that
horrific stench?

Our entry
into nascent city.

[♪]

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa! Hey!
Hey! Easy.

Easy.

Nobody needs
to die today.

[laughing]

Baylin!

Vorak!

How did you find me?

You are the only one
on mongo

With a taste
for flamed mange-cat.

Such a delectable
creature.

It's a shame
the stink sack
puts most people off.

Stink sack.

The animal's
only defense.

Luckily for vorak,
he has no sense of smell.

We should all
be so lucky.

These are my friends,
flash, zarkov.

May I tempt you?

Oh, we would
love to, but, uh...

The eyes
are a true delicacy.

The eyes?

Fresh from
the fire...

Still warm and runny
on the inside.

Thought you said
you were hungry?

Lost my appetite.

Thank you, vorak

We are honored
by your hospitality.

Yes, yes. Absolutely.

Why are we here?

We must get to
nascent city.

In order to do that,
we need vorak's help.

No tribs?

Well, you know my price.

But I have no water credits.

Sorry, but the best quality
does not come cheap.

I've got $1.73
and a warm thin mint.

I'll take
the thin mint.

Vorak, have you forgotten
last cycle,

When you were cornered
by a pack of rabid deviates?

[vorak]:
I know, I know.

You saved my life.

She was magnificent.

I have never seen
so much blood.

He exaggerates.

Well?

I was always a fool
for the ladies.

[cackling]

[cackles briefly]

[badly cackles]

Okay, what do you think?

Uh, you look,
um...

You know,
interesting. Yeah.

I am not sure about this.

No, no, it's good.
No, I like it.

Blue is your color.
Really.

I can assure you,
all these uniforms

Are completely
authentic,

And were acquired
at great expense...

Or in some cases,
death.

Well, we all
look the part,

But what about
the weird

Ear-scanning-
whirly-deal ?

My new attribution key.

To get past
the sentry scans.

Unfortunately,
the forgeries degrade quickly,

So don't dally.

[zapping]

Next?

Do you think
this makes me look fat?

Okay, hit me.

[zap]

Ow.

Hey, and careful
with this coat, huh?

I'm coming back for it.

[zap]

[aura]: This is unbelievable.

I have never been so humiliated.

How dare you?

Who do you think
you're speaking to?

I am not
one of your servants.

I am your father.

You're hurting me.

You don't have to
love me.

You don't even
have to like me,

But you will
respect me.

Is that clear?
Is it?

Yes, father.

Now...

You were saying?

He's a verden.

Barin is the leader
of his people

He lives in the woods.
He drinks sap.

Enough!

Your bonding with barin
is necessary,

For all our sakes.

I don't expect you
to understand,

And perhaps
it's my fault

For shielding you
all these years.

Then tell me now.

I am an adult.

Politics is power, aura.

And I am consolidating
my power base.

But I'm your daughter.

And as such, you have
certain responsibilities.

Surely, this doesn't come
as a surprise?

So I must spend
the rest of my life

With a man
not of my own choosing?

You are very fortunate.

You lead
a life of high privilege,

But that privilege
comes at a price...

And sometimes, we must make
personal sacrifices.

So you have chosen
to sacrifice me.

Why can't I go first?

I am the only
one of us

Who has seen
the rift generator.

I will take zarkov
and go on ahead.

He is the scientist,

He will operate
the machine.

You stay back

And watch out
for patriots.

You really think
you can operate

A sophisticated piece
of mongo technology?

No.

Why do I even bother?

[electronic twittering]

[beeps]

[twittering]

[beeps]

Hi.

[twittering]

[beeps]

You three!
Halt!

So close.

Don't forget
your extra water credits.

Courtesy of
the benevolent father,

In honor of
the upcoming celebration.

Celebration?

The bonding
of his daughter, aura,

To barin
of the verden.

Bonding?

Aura...

Barin.

[knocking at door]

Norah.

I hope
this isn't a bad time.

It's fine.

I was just catching up
on some emails.

Darn things multiply
like rabbits.

Thank you.

But you didn't
come here

To talk about
my email.

Steven's been gone
for two days now.

It's not like my son
to shirk his responsibility.

Don't worry.
I'm sure everything's all right.

I don't mean to pry,

But that story he said
the two of you are working on,

Oh, that.

Still no progress.

Moving slowly.

Official channels.

A series of dead-ends.

You know
how these things are.

No, actually, I don't.

13 years ago,

When steven's father
died in that fire,

Nobody would tell me
anything.

Men came
in the middle of the night

And took it all away.

All of his files,
his photographs,

His research...

Personal items--

Things they had no right
to take.

Let me make us some tea.

I don't
want any tea!

I want you to tell me

That you two
are not in over your heads.

I want you to tell me
my son is safe.

The benevolent father
welcomes all to nascent city

To celebrate the union
of my daughter, aura,

To barin of the verden.

Primitive neoclassical

With industrial overtones.

Kind of like stalin
had a home makeover.

Is that ming?
Mm-hmm.

[baylin]: I knew barin
was coming to negotiate,
but I never thought--

Why would he agree
to marry aura?

To save his people,
a great leader must
sacrifice anything,

Even himself.

Back with the verden,

You two were off together
for quite a while.

Anything you want to
tell me about?

No.

So you and the big guy
aren't, like... You know.

No!

I'm just asking.

Hans zarkov--

The one everybody thought
was nuts--

Is here in nascent city!

What earth scientist
wouldn't give his right arm

To be me now, huh?

Okay, do not
lose our focus.

We're not home yet.

All right, baylin--
barin!

I must tell him
about the water machine.

Come on.

The hologram
appears to be composed

Of some kind of a non-lineal
optical material.

I must examine it further.

Okay, you can stay,
but don't move,

And don't attract
any attention.

I'm not a child.

Barin of the verden.
May peace reign supreme.

Baylin.

Ming will
have your head.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?
Bonding to aura?

I did it for the verden.

But you do not have to.

We fixed
the water machine.

They called off
the lottery.

[exhaling deeply]:
I thank you for that.

But what about the next time?

We were wrong

To become dependent
on a piece of machinery.

I was wrong.

But this alliance with ming...

Will ensure the protection
of my people,

With or without
the water machine.

You actually believe

Ming has the verden's
best interests at heart?

Of course not.

He uses me for his own ends.

Only if you let him.

...Of the verden--
of the--of the verden.

May peace--

[hologram warbling]

When aura and I are bonded,

I will no longer
bow before ming.

I will sit by his side,

And it is
from that position

That I can best
protect my people.

Please try to understand.

Now, we must get you
out of here before--

...All to nascent city
of the verden.

All to nascent city
of the verden...

[citizen]: Infidel!

What have you done?

[crowd shouting angrily]

Please listen!

You're making a big mistake!

You look like a nice man.

[crying out]

I wasn't defiling
the benevolent father!

I just wanted to check
the molecular refraction

Of the hologram

Under the force
of external stimuli!

Stimulate[screaming]

[locks clanging shut]

What I mean is,

I stuck my finger
in the projector!

But strictly
in the name of science!

[pounding]

[rages]

[hyperventilating]

[whining]: Oh...

Bad day. Bad day. Bad day.

[♪]

[clearing throat]

What is it, rankol?

A slight disturbance
in the mall.

Indeed?

Someone dressed
as a reconciliation officer

Was caught trying to
destroy your projection.

Have security run
the usual checks.

They're running his trib-key
through the data stacks now.

I suspect the treasoner
may be a verden.

I wouldn't
be surprised.

As news of the bonding
ceremony spreads,

It's bound to ignite
the passionates.

And not only
amongst the verden.

Which is why this union
must proceed on schedule.

With barin and the verden
under my thumb,

The rest of the cantons
will soon follow,

And my reign will be supreme.

Invincible.

Prophecy be damned.

[prisoner screaming]

[prisoner hissing]

Who? Me?

[gasps]

Haven't seen you
before.

I shouldn't even be here now.

Oh, don't worry.

You get used to it.

I don't want to get used to it.

Like you have
a choice.

No, see,
you don't understand

Sure, I do.

You're innocent, right?

Exactly.

So am I.

I told them

Those counterfeit water credits

Jumped right into my pockets
all by themselves.

I wonder why
they don't believe me, huh?

[chuckles nervously]

[laughing maniacally]

Aw, come on,
don't go!

It's nice to have
a neighbor again,

Especially one
that's not a deviate.

Thanks.

I think.

I'm krebb.

What's your name?

Zarkov.

Zarkov?

No!

Yes.

Not dr. Hans zarkov,

The famous scientist
from earth?

[gasps]

It is as we feared.

They have taken him
to the prison.

Okay, let's go
get him.

It is heavily
fortified.

We would have to disable
the guards,

Bypass several levels
of security codes

In order to access
the underground cells,

Then find your friend,
release him--

Then do the whole thing
in reverse.

It shouldn't
be so hard.

There may be
another way,

But in order
for it to work,

We will need you
to commit

One small
act of treason.

How do you know my name?

From larry.

From larry?

Yeah.

Lawrence.

Dr. Gordon?

He was standing right there
where you are now. Yeah.

You're telling me
that dr. Gordon was in prison

In this very cell?

Yes!

Not long ago.

This is a trick.

Check under your bed.

He's under the bed?

[krebb laughing]

The intermediate-coupling
calculation

Of atomic spectra
in hot plasma!

I recognize
the formula extensions.

Oh, my god,
dr. Gordon was here!

Where is he now?

Silence!

No talking
from the prisoners!

Ah!

[thudding]

I'll be quiet!
No talking. Not from me.

Here.
These should be sufficient.

Very well.

I am ready.

Barin, you don't
have to do this.

You and your friend
saved my people.

I am honor-bound
to help you.

If we fail,
do not attempt to interfere.

Ming must never link you to us.

Do not worry about me.

I'll take whatever actions
I deem necessary.

You are still
as stubborn as ever.

Guys, I hate to
break this up,

But it's time to die.

[♪]

[klaxons blaring]
killed by assassins!

Hurry!

They're escaping!

That way!

Go! Go! Go!

[klaxons continue blaring]

Go. Go.

Who ever heard of
breaking in to prison?

The guards must still be
above ground,

But we must proceed
with caution.

Don't have to
tell me.

[roaring]

[sentry]:
Who goes there?

Thanks for nothing!

Do you have a men's room?

State your business.

Would you believe
that I'm self-employed?

And they say

Free enterprise
is dead.

[grunting]

You are welcome.

[knocking at door]

[footsteps approaching]

Oh. It's you.

Aura.

Is it that time already?

Have you memorized
your bonding vows

In preparation
for the ceremony?

I've been busy.

Do not think
that I am any more eager

For this arrangement
than you are.

But...

I intend to present

A picture of
peace and unity,

As an example to all.

Why do you care?

Because I am a man of honor,

I have given my word
to your father,

And because the future
of my people is at stake.

Well, that's your problem,
not mine.

You are wrong.

As my intended bondmate,

My concerns
are now your concerns.

So...

[stamps foot]

[clears throat]

I, barin of verden,

Pledge my heart and soul
to this union.

And I, aura,

Pledge that I would rather die
than bond to you.

As the cycles
of the seasons pass,

My love for you
will blossom and--

If you think you're going to
lay a single hand on me,

You are sadly mistaken.

And if you think
that I would want to,

You're as stupid
as you are childish!

I promise to whine
and throw tantrums

And scream and scream
and scream!

Every day!

Then with my last dying breath,
I will break you!

Not before I make your life
a living hell!

[parchment flutters to floor]

And, now, you may kiss my--

Aura!

Enough!

Brat.

Shoot me.

I think
that went rather well.

It happened again?

Where were my patriots?

They arrived
when the alarm was raised.

The mall was cleared
and order was restored.

Order?
You call this order?

This is anarchy.

Lock down the city.

No one gets in or out
until I say so.

As you wish.

One other thing.

Yes?

Who raised
the alarm?

Barin.

Indeed.

Is this
one of your dead-ends?

Nick's backlogged
at the garage,

So I was helping him
file some paperwork

And I found this.

I think flash found that
in a box of his father's things.

Really?

Because I should know
what's in that box.

I've been through it
a hundred times.

The chewed-up pencil stub,
the broken comb,

The french franc
from our trip to paris.

I know everything
in that box by heart,

And this was not there.

I'm sorry this
is upsetting you.

Well, what did you expect
would happen?

All we're trying to do
is get answers,

And the deeper we dig,
all we find is more questions.

What kind of questions?

Like, what actually happened
to dr. Gordon?

Did he really die
in a fire 13 years ago?

And if he did,

Why was no body ever discovered?

You don't know what it's like
to lose a husband prematurely.

And, god willing,
you never will.

To have
your whole life

Swept out
from under you.

Don't you think I had questions?

Don't you think
I wanted the truth?

I'm sure you did.

[laughs bitterly]

But a single mother,
a housewife--

Who pays her any attention?

Who listens to her rave on

About government conspiracies
and cover-ups?

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

And then, one day,
the nice men in expensive suits

Come by the house,

With sympathy and flowers,

And an envelope
containing a big check.

More than enough
to see us through

Until I could
get a job.

All I had to do
was stop asking questions.

"compensation,"
they called it.

I'm ashamed to say
I took the money.

You did
what you thought was right.

No.

No, not at all.

You want the truth?

I sold out.

Norah, don't do this
to yourself.

[sighing]

I was scared.

Not for me.

I didn't want anything
to happen to steven.

I sold out

So that he could
have a life.

And now he's out there,

Trying to find the answers
to my questions?

[sighing]

Don't you understand?

This was supposed to be
my fight.

Not his.

[♪]

Zarkov!

Open it, open it.

[warbling]

[chimes]

Zarkov!

Wait, is he--

Merely unconscious.

I think I prefer him
this way.

[both grunting]

Lift up your side.

I'm trying!
He's not exactly
aerodynamic.

[groaning]

He seems to be
waking up.

[whining]:
No! Please, no!

Poor guy, what did
they do to him?

No, mommy!

I don't want to
go to school today!

[whining]

Wake up.

What?
Where am I?

We're busting you out.
Can you walk?

Wait!
What now?

Krebb. Krebb!
Great,
he's delirious.

No! The guy
in the cell across from me--
his name was krebb.

That's fascinating.
You can tell us all--

No! He knew your father!

What?
He was in my cell.

I saw some formula
he'd scratched on the wall.

When was this?
Where's dad now?

I don't know.
We must keep moving.

No, I'm going back.

We cannot
just leave you behind!

Nobody's leaving anybody
behind, all right?

You take zarkov
and you get the
rift generator working.

No, I don't--
I don't know if I--

I'm not going anywhere
until I talk to this guy.

You just make sure
when I come running,

You've got a rift open.

[♪]

Well, well...

Like father,
like son.

[♪]

[sighing]

Come on.

Beep.

Flash should
be here by now.

I hope he did not
get lost.

This is incredible!

I've never seen
anything like this.

That's not
surprising,

Since you are from
another planet.

This is
the rift generator.

Wow...

Wow! Wow.

Can you activate it?

I don't know.

Uh...

This one
looks important.

[beeps, then blares]

Wrong button!

Wrong!
Turn it off!

I can't!

Step away from the controls!

Get it working!

[zarkov whimpering]

Uh, if these buttons control
the transduction condensers,

Assuming we're even talking
the same paradigm,

Then these ones must invert
the plasma field diopters.
This is incredible!

This is exactly what dr. Gordon
was trying to work on when--

Quickly!
Okay!

[weapon fires once
then fails]

I think it's working!

[machine hums]

My god! It's working!
I did it!

Where's flash?

That rift won't
stay open for long.

We must go.

Not without flash!

He has
a rift blaster.

He will find the rift
and follow.

If we stay, they will
capture us all.

We can't just leave him behind!

We are outnumbered
and my I.P. Is empty.

Are you ready?

No!

Good.

Now!

[rift alert sounding]

Welcome home.

What the hell did you do
to my father?

Some questions have
no easy answers.

You know I'm never going to
stop looking for him, right?

Unfortunate,
but true, I fear.

Since you're so eager
to catch up on old times...

I thought this would be
an appropriate place to start.

[panting]

[krebb]:
So you're flash gordon?

I've heard a lot
about you.

You even look like him.

Especially around the eyes.

You're krebb?

When's the last time
you saw my father?

Oh, hard to say.

Time passes kind of differently
around this place.

Please, it's very important.

Oh, less than
a cycle,

More than a day.

You know, he talked a lot
about you--

All the time.

Was he...

Was he okay?

I mean, did they--
did they hurt him?

Aw, he got knocked around a bit
in the beginning,

Like we all did,
but he didn't care.

He was a fighter.

A fighter?

[chuckling]:
That guy.

He even tried
to destroy ming,

Which is not easy,
believe me.

My father?

Yeah.

He was forced to
build a machine.

The rift generator.

Yeah.

Said he was only
doing it

To get back home.

He was going to
jump through,

Leaving everything set
to blow up behind him.

So what happened?

Same thing
that always happens here.

Ming.

Ming.

So here he was,
and now here you are.

Am I under arrest?

No, no, not at all.

The patriots are merely
for your own protection.

I was not aware I needed any.

What with radicals
running around,

Trying to disrupt
the celebrations,

I thought it best
to be prudent.

I can assure you,
I'm in no danger.

Can we be so sure?

You were present in the mall
during both attacks.

Have the infidels
been caught?

Sadly, no.

I was hoping you might be able
to help me with that.

I do not understand.

Well, you raised the alarm.

Perhaps you saw something
or someone suspicious?

It all happened so quickly.

It was difficult to see
anything.

What a pity.

If you do
happen to recall something...

I will inform you immediately.

I'd be most grateful.

In times like this,

It's difficult
to know who I can trust.

Well, what now?
We can't just wait
around here.

We cannot
go back to mongo.

We have
no rift blaster.

[car approaching]

Oh. Hey.

[engine shuts off]

Hey, sight for sore eyes.

I bet you've got
a story to tell.

[chuckles]

Where's flash?

Your father
was a brave man.

So I'm learning.

Even after everything
he went through,

He was only scared of one thing.

Yeah? And what's that?

Never seeing
his family again.

Well, I'm going to fix that
as soon as I get out of here.

What do you mean?

I'm going to tear
this planet apart

Until I find him.

Oh. Oh...

You...

You don't know,
do you?

Know what?

Your father was executed
for treason.

No. No!

No, you're lying.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

No. Well, did you--

What,
did you actually see it?

Did you see it yourself? Huh?

Rankol makes us watch
every prisoner execution.

Says it promotes
obedience.

No. No...

You're lying.

You're wrong, okay?

You're wrong!

[kicks bench]

I'm sorry.

No.

[lock clunking open]

You bastards!

Where are you taking him?

You'll see soon enough.

His execution
is scheduled immediately.

No.

No.

Pardon me for disturbing you.

If it's another
bonding gift,

It can be put on the pile
with the rest of them.

I was in the kitchen
talking to one of the girls.

She knows a patriot soldier--

Well, she more than knows him,
if you know what I'm saying,

This patriot had just
come off work from the prison--

The point!
Get to the point!

I think your earth man
is in prison.

Flash gordon?

He's here?

Get this slime off of me!

This is it, huh?

This is how it all ends?

Underground,
a million miles away from home.

Is this where
you took my father, too?

Like father, like son.

Well, I'll tell you,
that freak was right about that.

If there's one thing
my father taught me,

It was to never give up.

Flash!

You wanted
to see me?

You've been a naughty boy.

I'm afraid
you'll have to be

A bit more specific.

My days are so full.

Keeping flash gordon
all to yourself.

It appears
you've been misinformed.

So, you're telling me

You're not holding
flash gordon prisoner?

That is correct.

But I have a witness.

Oh, really? Who?

I would be most interested
to talk to him...

Or her.

Never mind.

If flash gordon
had been in nascent city today,

It would have been my duty
to report it immediately.

My point exactly.

Take my advice, aura,

Don't fatigue yourself

Listening to malicious gossip
and rumors.

No doubt,
the recent stressful events

Have everyone's nerves on edge.

It seems...

Nobody is really
themselves today.

Steven!

I know.
I miss him, too.

We'll be okay.

You're free to go.

Can't be that easy.

There's no trick.

No matter
what you may think of me,

I am a man of my word.

So I can just walk out of here?

That was our arrangement.

You fulfilled
your part of the bargain.

Now it is my turn.

Why did you
make me lie to him

About his father's
execution?

Maybe you should
just concentrate

On enjoying
your newfound freedom.

And console yourself
with the fact that

Some questions are
best left unanswered.

Go.
