"Previously on Flash Gordon..." "Our patriots are meeting unexpected levels of resistance in Frigia." "Whatever it takes." "I'm with you, Terek." "That's our ticket out of here." "I would be proud to see you stand in Ming's place." "I know about my mother." "You are the deviate, Father." "Whoa, hey, the glowy symbols." "This is the IMEX." "Welcome to mongo." " What is it?" " It's my father." "Steven?" "Dad!" "Dad!" " Zarkov,what's happening?" " I don't know." "It must be Some kind of a seizure." "We've got to do something." "Okay, okay, a seizure is..." "It's like an electrical storm in the brain," "So maybe some kind of an electrical charge will-  may be?" " I don't know!" "Then get me something with a current!" "Okay." "Easy" "Oh, no, oh, no..." "No, wait!" "How can you be sure this will not kill him?" "It won't kill him." "We've got to do something." "We're losing him." "I'm sorry." "Dad?" "Dad..." "Dad?" "Dad..." "Flash, it worked." "Flash?" "I can't believe they still call you that." "Yeah, It kind of stuck." "We got to get you out of here." "If we are discovered, we will be killed." "This would not make for a very happy reunion." "Okay, ease him up." "Ease him up..." "The deviate insurgents have been spreading rumors" "Aimed at undermining my rule." "Their efforts will, of course, fail," "Because the people love me too much to overturn against me" "But as a safeguard," "Order your troops to shoot all deviates on sight." "Anyone cooperating with deviates will also be shot." "Benevolent father," "Forces are gathering in the safe veld outside nascent city." "Forces?" " What forces?" " I do not know." "They sent an envoy with a holo-disc." "Ming, your reign of cruelty and oppression will soon end," "And you will stand in judgment for your actions." "Your city is surrounded." "Surrender now" "And we will call off the attack." "Refuse..." "And the streets of nascent city will run thick with blood." "Their army is massive." "With most of our troops on the Frigian front," "To engage them would be suicide." "I will not wait forever." "You have waited many cycles for Ming's defeat." "Surely, another hour Is not too much," "If it avoids bloody conflict?" "He comes." "You have the audacity to demand my surrender." "Well then, deviate..." "You have your answer." "There's no turning back now." "Commence the attack." "Flash.Gordon.s01e21" "Okay, this doesn't look good." "What's happening?" "Where is everybody going?" "Terek's revolution has begun." "Looks like Ming will finally get what's coming to him." "Yeah, unless we get it first." "So, you and Steven," "All this time you've been coming here," "You were looking for his father?" "That's how it started." "We learned dr." "Gordon was here, but we never found him." "Do you know what happened to him?" "I'm sorry." "Flash wanted you two to be together again so badly." "Are you sure Steven is in there?" "If I know Flash," "He'll be right in the middle of that." "Let's go." "You're attacking the city!" "This is what we agreed on." "Just what did you think we'd do with those munitions you stole?" "You said you wanted to force our father to surrender." "Ming had a chance to surrender." "He refused." "I had no choice." "I want you to guarantee that he will not be harmed." "I cannot Give you that." "We will do whatever is necessary" "To bring him to justice For his crimes." "Rankol, please tell him this is not the way." "Terek is right." "When Ming pulls his troops out of the Frigian campaign," "We will be badly Out numbered." "An attack now is our only hope to end his unholy reign." "You worked right by his side," "And now,with troops closing in" "You find yourself on the right side of the battle?" "How very convenient." "And as his daughter, you know Ming better than anyone." "You stood at his side,just as I did," "And yet you find yourself standing against him now." "Tell me, Aura, Which betrayal is more cruel?" "Stop it." "Both of you." "This changes nothing." "Please." "Just promise me he won't be killed." "He's our father." "He may be your father," "He's not mine." "How you doing, dad?" "Well, anything is better Than that damn mind prison." "What do you say we give you a break?" "Let you catch your breath, okay?" "He's dehydrated." "There should be some water in the steep house." "I'll be right back." "Flash, you have waited Many years to find your father." "Take him to safety." "Zarkov and I will go get the provisions," "And he will bring it to you in the hideout." "And I will join the fight." "What?" "No, Baylin, people are dying out there." "I have waited all of my life" "For the day that I would see Ming fall." "If I can't help that happen, then my life is not important." "It is to me." "Yeah.me too." "If I do not see you again," "Thank you." "My good friends." "Be careful." "You should be very proud." "Hey, I'm coming back," "But just in case I don't," "Take good care of the IMEX." "All right, dad, what do you say we get out of here before this gets any worse?" "How long will it take our Forces to return from Frigia?" "Not more than a moon cycle." "This city will be lost by then." "Have you found my daughter yet?" "We are still searching." "Find her, Bring her here." "Oh, how the mighty fall." "If anyone would know, it would be you, Azura." "Did your own canton not cast you out?" "On the contrary," "My warriors know they cannot survive without me," "But you, it seems, need all the help you can get." "From a tribe of spear-wielding savages?" "My savages are the most feared warriors on mongo," "And since my spies tell me" "That Terek's forces are about to breach the city walls," "They may be all that stands between you and grim death." "Tell me, Azura..." "What would you want in return for your help?" "Make me your queen," "And I will rule mongo at your side." "Then..." "Have your forces secure the perimeter..." "My queen." "Keep this close." "It will protect you." "I wouldn't want anything to happen to my king." "It is not your magic I need, Azura." "I will determine my own fate." "Where is everyone?" "Didn't anyone tell you about the war?" "Yeah, the bombs sort of gave it away." "All able-bodied denzins have been ordered to defend the city." "So, what are you doing here?" "Well, I'm not able-bodied, obviously." "Look, this isn't the ritz," "But we should be safe here for a while." "13 years." "It seems impossible." "Then I look at you..." "Somehow, I knew I was always going to find you." "I-I didn't know how,but ..." "I knew I was going to find you." "Your mother..." " How is she?" " She's fine." "She's..." "She's going to freak When she sees you." "So, she's not..." "With anyone?" "No." "We're going to get you cleaned up and back to her as soon as I p?" "." "I've got to Stay here" "And take care of the rift generator." "It should never have been created in the first place." "We tried to destroy it, but..." "The Xyrilium core." "I know." "We're screwed then?" "Not if we take the core Off-line." "Once that's done," "There'll be no danger of contamination," "And then..." "The rift generator Can be destroyed." "Sure you won't have a steep?" "It's on the house." "Since we're all going to die anyways," "Might as well go out smiling." "You are not going to die." "It is Ming Terek is after, Nobody else." "Terek is a deviate." "He'll kill us all in the end, you'll see." "Nice to finally find somebody who's more negative than I am" "For a change." "Good luck." "Hey, you sure you don't want to stay back here with me?" "You know, we could get our fill of velken snibs." "Someone must take out the defenses at the city gates," "So that Terek's forces can enter the citadel." "Yeah, but why does it have to be you?" "Who better to fight Ming's men?" "and who better than you" "To make sure Flash returns home safe." "So, this self-destruct mechanism," "Is it still there inside the rift generator?" "Well, it was hardwired into the design." "I made sure it couldn't be removed." "Oh, great." "Then all we have to do" "Is disable The Xyrilium core," "Blow up The rift generator," "And get the heck out of dodge" "Before this whole planet goes to hell." "Yeah, well, it won't be that easy." "The core is protected by a lock that only Ming can open." "Well, where's the key?" "He used to wear it as the insignia on his jacket." "He still does." "Dale, what are you doing here?" "I heard there was a war." "I thought you might need the help." "Dr. Gordon?" "Yeah, it's still kind of a big surprise for us, too." "Well, get ready for another one." " mom?" " Steven..." "Lawrence?" "Is that really you?" "Hello, norah." "Oh, my god!" "For every romantic moment" "Halt!" "Or I will shoot you for violation of curfew by order of Ming." "Trust me," "You do not want to shoot me." "We have been given orders to return you to the citadel." "Good." "Because that's exactly where I'm going." "Now, drop your weapons." "Benevolent father..." "How can I help you?" "You will tell me my fate." "This is hardly the time." "I think it is." "You ran the mongo story on television?" "Things were so bad here," "And I thought I had to warn the world about Ming," "And I didn't know if you were going to make it back." "So now everybody knows, including the government." "See, that's the not-good part." "These creepy ops guys tried to come in and grab norah and i." "Somebody out there does not want this story out." "Government spooks." "They'll be relentless." "First, they'll dissect my lab," "Then the sentinel, And then my RV" "Actually, I'm pretty sure They won't be able to find your RV." "I'm just so glad that You finally found your father." "Maybe everything's going to Turn out all right, huh?" "Yeah, or maybe we'll all die When Ming finds us here." "What did you mean That they couldn't find my rv?" "Everybody all right?" "Strangely enough," "I've never been better." "Good, 'cause we're getting you out of here." "Come on, let's go." "Halt!" "Tar dav trooval." "Yelad tendasy." "Kalla at tiska nail." "Go on." "Tell me the prophecy." "What did he say?" "What did he say?" ""the father falls." "The son rises." "A world is reborn."" " when?" " now." "I don't believe it." "No, no, I want to hear more." "This is not possible." "testimony can only be given" "No!" "Tar dav trooval." "Yelad tendasy." "Kalla at tiska nail." "What did he say?" ""the father falls." ""the son rises." "A world is reborn."" "He lies!" "Where are we going?" "Zarkov's going to Find you an access point" "So I can get you guys home." "No, Flash, you'll need my help." "Zarkov can handle it." "Zarkov didn't spend years thinking about how to destroy that generator." "I started this, son." "I have to see it through." "Okay, then, fine, Dale can take my mom to the access point." "I am not leaving your father." "I will not risk losing him again." "Fine." "Then Zarkov and Dale will take you guys to the rift generator" "And I will meet you there as soon as I get what I need." "Is that all right?" "Wait, Flash, where are you going?" "I have to get something from Ming." "Ming?" "What, are you crazy?" "you'll never get to him." "Yeah, well, maybe not," "But this is the only way we can destroy the rift generator." "Dale, if I don't do this, none of us are safe." "Dale, please, take care of my mom and dad." "What the hell." "Okay, if we get out of this, ?" "Your fate cannot come soon enough!" "Did the monks offer any new hope?" "I do not need monks or prophecies." "There will be no doubt." "There will only Be victory." "Bring me my battle gear." "Yes, benevolent father." "I took this planet with my own hands" "And I will defend it in the same way." "You will spill your blood for me" "As i..." "Will spill my blood for you." "We will give all for mongo!" "If the Zurns can hold the main gates" "Until the patriots return from Frigia" "Benevolent father, we cannot hope that" "No, I do not hope." "I demand!" "Do not make me shoot you, father." "Aura?" "Aura..." "I've been so worried." "You should be." "Your city is falling." "It was you I was worried about." "Where have you been?" "With my brother." "Terek." "Is he dead?" "Did you do that for me?" "No." "I'm on his side." "Against me?" "No..." "No, that's impossible." "?" "?" "I will not!" "This is my city." "This is my planet," "And that disgusting freak of nature has no right to any of it!" "He'll kill you." "Look at you, can't you see you've already lost?" "Please, father." "Do not call me that." "You are no daughter of mine." "I have stood by you," "Supported you, defended you." "And you have treated me with scorn, murdered people I care about, and yet, somehow, I still love you!" "How is that not enough?" "If you truly love me..." "Why did you desert me?" "Betray me?" "Because you have become something dark and terrible." "Please, father..." "Terek is trying to save mongo." "I am trying to save you." "Aura..." "What's that sound?" "Machinery." "Sounds like weapons fire." "No, no, no, it's just bad acoustics." "Everything's fine, really." "Okay, I have had just about all I can take for one day." "Good, because so have i." "I really wish Baylin was here right now." "Wait, Baylin?" " Zarkov, where is she?" " ?" "She's, like, taking on the entire patriot army" "At the city gates on some suicide mission," "From the sounds of it." "Okay, if you guys are good here," "I'll meet you later." "Okay." "You'll be fine with me." "Really." "Your reflexes have improved." "Nothing like a little revolution to step up your game." "What are you doing?" "Terek's army will soon arrive," "But unless I can open up the gates," "They will be slaughtered along the outer wall." "What are you doing on mongo?" "Here to help you." "Got any ideas?" "Hey..." "I've captured a rebel leader." "She has information Ming would pay dearly for." "What information do you have?" "That you are Going to lose." "What if they're not out there?" "They will be." "It was you who opened the gate?" "Both of us." "Then I'm grateful to you, friends of Flash Gordon." "It seems that the battle is not yet won." "The patriots are losing ground." "Many have drawn back to the citadel." "And they have lots of those blue guys with them." "The Zurn." "Ming will never surrender." "Once this is won, we will send patrols to secure the streets." "As for Ming, I'll see to him personally." "I should have killed you both in your mother's womb!" "No!" "You..." "You're not worth me killing." "I find no honor in being spared by a coward." "Who said anything about sparing you?" "You don't get to decide anymore." "It's over." "No." "Not while I breathe." "This is my planet," "To shape in my own image." "You're right about that." "All the hatred and brutality you've created is flooding back," "And you're going to drown in it." "How I wish you never came here." "Then you never should have Taken my father." "I found him, though." "And I'm taking him home!" "And I never want to see you or this planet ever again." "The new rulers of mongo can decide what to do with you." "I rule mongo!" "?" "I hope you enjoy your new accommodations," "Although the view kind of sucks." "I'm sorry it came to this, father." "Spare me your pity." "You are an unbelievable piece of work, you know that?" "Get off my planet." "The sooner the better." "Aura?" "It's me, Vestra..." "I didn't think it was possible to hate you more." "What did he do to you?" "Ming gave me grey water." "to make me a deviate." "Why would he Do that?" "Because Vestra is my mother." "Ming didn't want anyone to know that he's the deviate." "I will not ask you to defy the blood oath and call me your daughter," "But I will proudly call you my mother." "And your brother?" "Terek?" "He's fine." "We've won." "Is she going to be all right?" "I have to get her fresh source water and proper care," "But my mother will live, untainted." "I'm glad." "My mom's here, too, and I finally found my father," "But I have to get them home." "Well, will I ever see you again?" "Don't take this the wrong way, Aura," "But I really hope not." "Well, thank you for everything, Flash." "It's been..." "Quite an adventure." "We can begin now." " is everyone ready?" " ready." "Well, all except Dale and Baylin." "Don't worry, they'll make it." "They have to." "Hans..." " Start the rod removal sequence." " Right." "Flash, now." "Everything seems to be working so far, huh?" "You couldn't have waited for us?" "Baylin, Dale..." "Never do that again." "At last, where I belong." "In control?" "No." "Here." "With you," " And our mother." " And our father." "What are we going to do, Terek?" "How are we going to control him?" "You know that there's only one way." "I want to be better than he is." "You will be." "We will be..." "But you know that he has to die." "That's it." "The Xyrilium core is deactivated." "One rift to earth coming up." "All right," "Mom, dad, you go first." "We'll activate the self-destruct sequence, and then be right behind you." "Once you trigger it, you'll only have 30 seconds to get out." "I know, then the whole thing implodes." "I got it, dad, I promise." "See you at home, Steven?" "Wouldn't miss it for the world." "Oh, wait, wait, wait..." "Take the IMEX with you." "We don't need this on mongo." "I'll make sure to keep it safe." "Quickly." "You go as well." "I will begin the self-destruct sequence." "Okay, I'll help, and then we can all go together." "I am staying." " What?" " What?" "This is my home." " Baylin, you can't just" " No, your home is on earth." "Go to it." "I will Think of you often." "Hey!" " what the hell.." " ?" " Where did those guys come from?" " ?" "Get down!" "What, nothing?" "I've got an idea, I've got an idea." "We surrender!" "I surrender!" "Flash!" " ?" " ?" "That's your plan?" "Flash, we don't have any time for this!" "Flash, we have 15 seconds!" "Go!" "Come on!" "Hurry, there's no time!" "Flash, 10 seconds!" "We got to do something." "No!" "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I think so." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "If somebody could stop all these telephones from ringing in my head." "Zarkov?" "Zarkov..." "Hey, buddy." "Are you all right?" "Baylin?" "You all right?" "No, not really." "You've made a terrible mistake." "Before your Punishment is carried out," "Do you have anything to say?" "Is this how you want it to end, Aura?" "She does." "Does the deviate speak for you now?" "No, I speak for myself." "Goodbye, father." "Finally." "A daughter I can be proud of." "So you're sure the rest of the rift blasters are destroyed?" "Yes." "So I guess when Zarkov opens this rift, it's goodbye." "I don't know what I'm going to do with or without you, Baylin." "You will think of something." "We're going to miss you, Baylin." "No, we're not." "What?" "Because we're not going anywhere." "The rift generator's destroyed." "The entire dimensional veil is sealed." "Done, finit." "Y-y-yeah, but what about your rift blaster?" "No, their organic circuitry was linked to" "The frequency resonance of the rift generator," "Like an organic calibrator, and when it imploded, it just..." "Okay." "Okay, fine, Zarkov, bottom line?" "We're stuck on mongo..." "Forever." "We'll never see earth again?" " or Flash's parents." " or my lab." "I guess the adventure isn't quite over."
