"Sync do wersji hdtv.xvid-sys: przemuch" "See?" "Piece of cake," "And i barely broke a sweat." "Oh, your father would have been so proud." "There we go, there we go." "Ahh... whoo!" "Thanks for being here with me today, guys." "It's a perfect day!" "It's glorious, rankol." "The gateway to a new world." "Ready the probe." "Quickly, before it fades." "Success." "And finally," "The first ever three-Time winner" "Of the tri-City marathon," "Kendal's very own flash gordon!" "Thank you." "Hey, flash, nice job." "Way to go, flash." "We got a situation here" "That i think you need to be made aware of." "Dale's here." "Come on, that was bound to happen sooner or later." "Where is she?" "No, no, no, don't look, don't look." "She's over there," "And, dude, she's hot." "Hey, cronkite," "You ready to do this or not?" "Yeah." "Okay, here she comes." "Just be cool, and remember," "You're the champion." "This is your day." "No one can take this moment from you." "Thank you, dr." "Phil." "Don't worry about it." "Joely lavant, wiad-4 news." "Can we get a few words with you?" "Sure." "Hey, dale." "Hey, flash." "It's been a while." "Yeah, sorry." "Things have been a bit hectic." "New apartment, new job." "I was going to call." "No worries." "You look incredible." "It's all just hair and makeup." "Could you give us a second, guys?" "So i've seen you on the news a few times now." "You're a... you're a local celebrity now, huh?" "Just trying to keep up with you." "You never had a hard time with that." "So, um... when did you get back into town?" "Like you don't know exactly when i got back." "Okay, maybe a few people... everyone i know may have mentioned it to me." "Anyways, welcome back." "Congratulations on the gig." "It's you that should be congratulated." "Triple marathon winner." "Pretty amazing." "So, where are you living these days?" "Same place." "You mean... yeah... with my mom." "Nick and me, we have a shop there," "And she..." "she travels for work" "Most of the time anyways," "So it works out pretty well." "Anyway, you want to do it?" "The interview." "I mean the interview." "I know what you meant." "Yeah." "Come on, let's do this." "Yeah." "I-I knew that." "She goes to yale," "Probably graduated with honors." "She's got this great career going," "And i still live with my mom." "Do you know what that makes me look like?" "Yeah, a good son." "Your mom needed you, and you stepped up." "That's what a good son does." "Yeah, i know, but i mean," "Her x-Rays have been clear for a year." "It's time i got my own place." "Yeah, if you move, she sells the house." "If she sells the house, we ain't got no shop." "You ain't moving' out." "Now, can we go get something to eat?" "That race wore me out." "I'll drop you off." "There's something i got to do." "This is for you, dad." "Go!" "Whoo-Hoo!" "Well, i'd say we made a mistake" "Calling you steven." "From now on, i'm calling you flash." "Cool." "Cual es ese?" "Cual es ese?" "Oye abeja!" "Cover?" "What do you mean, cover?" "You obviously don't know who that is." "That's steve, a.K.A. Flash gordon," "Triple marathon winner." "Show some respect." "Fine, he gets in," "But you pay." "You are so buying drinks." "I'll be in in a second." "Hey, i want to talk to you." "No, no, no, no." "Hey, hey!" "Stop!" "Pull over!" "Freak..." "who are you," "And why have you been following me?" "Please don't touch me." "I don't like being touched." "I'm no one, okay?" "So just let me go." "Tell me who you are." "All right, we can do this the hard way." "No, look-- Ah!" "I'm not some kind of freak, okay?" "I just..." "i worked for your father." "I was his assistant." "At the university?" "No." "D-Did he never talk to you about his work?" "He was a physics professor." "You don't know." "Okay, so know what?" "About the portage initiative?" "What's the portage initiative?" "I'm sorry, i have to go." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" "Don't touch me." "Tell me what's going on." "If you see your father, tell him to trust no one." "My father's dead." "Yes, of course." "I won't bother you again." "So i ran into this guy last night." "Said he used to work with dad." "Mm-Hm?" "Dark hair, kind of wild eyes." "?" "Your father worked with a lot of people." "Sit down, i'll make you some eggs." "Mom, i can do it." "I'm leaving for atlanta tomorrow." "It might be the only meal i get to cook for you." "Now, sit." "So this guy said he used to work with dad" "On something called the portage initiative." "Oh... he ever talk about that?" "Um... no, he didn't talk about his work." "[Clears throat awkwardly]" "Even if he had, i wouldn't have understood it." "All those numbers." "I can barely balance my checkbook." "What are you not telling me?" "Nothing." "All i know" "Is that he did some research outside the university," "But, like i said, he didn't talk about it." "What kind of research?" "I don't know." "Well, did he leave any papers behind, anything?" "They came and took them all." "Who?" "I don't know." "Please, steven," "Don't go poking around in this." "This is about dad." "Don't you want to know what happened to him?" "I know what happened to him." "He was killed in a fire." "Then how come they never found a body?" "Let this go, steven." "I'm not asking you, i'll telling you." "That project, whatever it was," "Cost me a husband." "It won't cost me a son too." "Come on, eat your eggs." "What was that light?" "Just watching some tv." "That wasn't tv light." "Go to bed, flash." "[Speaking spanish]" "He says it looked like a big bee." "Vino de un agujero en el cielo." "Tiro a rayos de la luz de el es ojos." "It came from a hole in the sky," "And shot rays of light from its eyes." "No me gusta, asi que yo lo tiro." "He didn't like it, so he shot it." "And that's what's in the bag?" "Si." "Ah-Ah!" "Ciento para mirar." "Cinco cientos para tocar." "He wants 100 to look at it, 500 to touch it." "Sounds like my last date." "We don't pay for stories." "La cambio para el boleto de la loteria." "He'll trade you for the lottery ticket." "Winning the lottery, or finding an alien pod," "Which has better odds?" "It's kind of a toss-Up." "Gracias." "Remind me never to take you to vegas with me." "Xcalibur lanes." "so, what happened to you last night?" "You were supposed to be my date bait," "And you bailed." "Something came up." "Yeah, like a dale-Emma." "It was not about dale." "Whatever!" "It was about my dad." "Okay, this is weird." "Four people at the xcalibur lanes" "Just reported being attacked by an alien." "Think we should check it out?" "What, is this alien homecoming week?" "You know this is going to turn out to be a hoax." "Well, yeah, but it'd be a great tease." "All right, grab roller, let's check it out." "So apparently rv dude is some scientist" "That worked with my dad on a secret project" "Called the portage initiative." "And that's suppose to mean something to me?" "It's french." "It means to travel over land in between two lakes." "Hey, you got enough slack?" "Yeah, i'm good." "So, anyways, apparently it has something to do with" "Subatomic dimensional transference." "Whatever the heck that means, i have no idea," "But that's what the internet fringe" "Seem to think." "Okay, and this is suddenly important because... because he never told me about it." "It's likhe had some secret life goig on." "Dude, he was a physicist," "And you were what, 13?" "And you suddenly think he's gonna sit you down" "And discuss the finer points of string theory?" "You don't get it." "This guy was talking about my dad" "Like he may somehow still be alive." "Look, this rv dude sounds like" "He's a couple sandwiches short of a picnic." "[Dale]:" "... stood seven feet tall" "And shot lasers from his hands," "Was seen by several witnesses," "Including xcalibur manager jack b." "Kahuna." "Mr. Kahuna, what can you tell us" "About this experience?" "Well, i'm just so grateful i didn't get probed... hey, wait, that guy in the background," "That's rv dude." "What's he doing there?" "Absolutely." "What if this is all connected?" "What?" "Okay, you're spending" "Way too much time surfing." "No, think about it." "Alien, rv dude, secret project." "What if this is all related?" "Okay, that's a pretty big "what if."" "Let me throw a smaller one at you." "What if" "And i'm just putting this out there" "What if you just found out that the girl" "That you're secretly in love with is engaged," "And you can't deal, so you're manufacturing" "A ridiculous excuse to talk to her" "In a misguided attempt to win her back." "Wait, dale's engaged?" "Please... don't pretend you didn't see it." "Her ring." "This is dale arden reporting." "[Dale]:" "of course it was nothing." "If the invasion had begun," "Don't you think i would have called you?" "Psst!" "Hey, that guy, your hot ex." "He's here!" "Flash?" "Is here?" "I'll call you back." "I hope it's cool that i stopped by." "I tried to calling you, but your inbox was full." "Stop." "Before you say whatever it is you're about to say," "I need to tell you something." "I'm engaged." "I probably should have said something earlier," "But i didn't want things to be weird for you, for us." "I mean, there is a lot of potential for weirdness," "And i didn't want to ruin your big moment," "So i twisted my ring," "Didn't say anything." "All right." "And clearly, you don't feel weird at all," "And now i just feel stupid." "It's great seeing you, dale." "Hey, and congratulations." "Who's the lucky guy?" "Joe wylee." "Do you know him?" "What, you mean as in roger wylee?" "His son." "Ooh, fancy." "Not really." "He's actually a pretty regular guy." "What about you?" "Are you... uh, no, no," "Um... that's not actually why i'm here." "I actually came to ask you" "About the bowling alley." "What happened there?" "The fallen story?" "Falien?" "Fake alien?" "It's actually my second one of the week." "They tend to happen in threes, like celebrity deaths." "So, there was nothing unusual there?" "If you're asking me whether i think" "An alien came down to knock a few pins around," "No, i don't." "All right, well, now i'm the one that feels stupid." "What's going on?" "There's just been some odd stuff happening lately," "And i was hoping it was all connected somehow." "Like what?" "You know what," "Forget about it." "I mean, think about it, there's no way" "You're going to come all the way from another planet" "And go to xcalibur." "You'd hit the rock and bowl." "I gotta take this." "Hey, you." "What?" "I'll be right there." "Hey, flash," "That fallen?" "It apparently just liquefied somebody" "At a mini-Mart." "So this weird rv guy, where do we find him?" "No idea." "That's the problem." "I'll be right back." "Oh, this is a closed crime scene, no press." "I'll have to ask you to follow me." "So, what the hell happened here?" "I've never seen anything like it." "The dead guy... what?" "It's like he was... i don't know, boiled to death from the inside out." "Let me see the body." "?" "You don't want to." "Any theories about the cause of death?" "As crazy as it sounds, some kind of microwave." "An oven?" "A weapon." "The military base." "We're thinking" "It might have been some new type of gun." "Since when does the military test weapons at mini-Marts?" "Hey, dale?" "Isn't that that guy you dated in high school?" "What's he doing here?" "Come on, i'll introduce you." "Flash, i'd like you to meet my fiance," "Joe wylee." "Hey, nice to meet you." "Pleasure." "I found these footprints." "Obviously not a detective," "But they're dug in real deep." "The guy must have weighed at least 400 pounds." "Don't you think that's kind of weird?" "But let's let the detectives handle the detecting." "I appreciate the input," "We'll let you get back to it." "We have to find this scientist guy." "Shouldn't be too hard." "He had to get a degree from some university." "I'm thinking early '90s, maybe late '80s." "We'll check the ivy leagues first." "Yeah, but we don't even have a name." "We've got nothing." "We've got a face." "Oh, my god." "It's the 1989 parade of bad hair." "Aw, did we ever look that bad?" "Do not go there." "Yearbook photos are bad enough," "But online yearbook photos?" "Work of the devil." "Oh, man," "We've been at this for three hours." "I'm starting to see double." "You might want to change the strap on that thing." "It's looking a little ragged." "This actually used to belong to my father." "He wore it all the time." "Oh... that's nice that you have it, then." "I think some students gave it to him." "He was guest-Lecturing" "At this little college in maine." "We spent the summer there." "You don't happen to remember the name" "Of this little college, do you?" "Sure." "This is the address from the website." "I can't believe somebody lives here." "Well, this is his rv." "I told you he's weird." "So, joe seems like a good guy." "How long you been hooked up?" "Six months," "And for your information, we are not hooked up." "What's wrong with "hooked up?"" "It's an expression." "With implications." "I wasn't implying anything." "Yes, you were." "I heard it." "Well, you can't hear what's not there." "He's not here." "Maybe he's in there." "You want me to be upset about you and joe, don't you?" "Don't be ridiculous." "I'm not being ridiculous." "I know you," "And you want me to be upset," "And i'm not upset, so it's upsetting you." "You know what," "Spare me the nickel analysis... because i am good." "Really good." "Good." "I'm good, too." "Good." "So we're both good?" "Yeah." "Good." "After you... is anybody here?" "Hello!" "Whoa... how did you find me?" "Just want to ask a few questions." "No, no, not with her." "She's that reporter from the bowling alley." "I don't trust reporters." "And i don't trust guys" "With freaky guns pointed at me." "Please, this is about my father." "I need to know." "What can you tell me about the portage initiative?" "It was a secret project, funded by nasa." "At least they said it was nasa." "We'll believe anything for funding... my god, it's working." "We were studying gravitations in dark matter" "Using old school cyclotrons." "Basic stuff, but the data we were using," "It was like nothing i'd ever seen before," "But something went wrong." "Yes, there was a fire," "But your father," "He didn't die in that fire." "Look." "Careful, dr." "Gordon." "No!" "He was lost in a dimensional rift." "We opened a door" "That should never have been opened." "Wait, what are you saying?" "Are you saying he could still be alive somewhere?" "Mmm, ah... i didn't think so," "But then three weeks ago," "Rifts started happening again." "At first i thought... well, i hoped that maybe he had been able" "To re-Create the experiment somewhere" "To try to get home," "But then... things started to come through." "So that guy who tried to sell me the alien probe," "He was for real?" "Yes." "And the alien at the bowling alley?" "And that's probably just the beginning," "So, basically, we're all going to die!" "Hey, hey, calm down." "Okay, you need to call joe." "He probably has a number we can call." "There's got to be somebody in charge of alien invasion." "No, no." "No one can know about this." "Okay, first of all, this isn't happening," "And second, if it was happening," "It's not the sort of thing" "That you could handle on your own." "We have to." "The more people who know about this," "The more danger we're in." "Look, uh... this is us, okay?" "Happily blowing bubbles" "In our cozy little dimension," "And someone out here" "Just started swinging a hammer at us." "All the more reason to tell somebody." "No, no!" "Because if we do," "It's only a matter of time" "Before we build our own hammer." "Trust me, i know." "They're already trying." "Do you know what a phase-Change is?" "It's what happened during the big bang." "Pure energy converted to matter, created the universe." "In 10/100ths of a second, everything that was... whoosh!" "...wasn't," "And that's what'll happen again" "If we start poking holes between dimensions." "Oh!" "Ah... so, what are we supposed to do?" "We're just going to have to deal" "With whatever comes through on our own." "And how do you suggest we do that?" "Well, i've been working on a few things, okay?" "Like this proton gun." "But it's only got enough charge" "For one shot," "And it might not work." "I feel better already." "Steven, is that you?" "So basically you're saying" "That there's an alien running around" "Terrorizing bowlers, and we have to find it" "And shoot it with that thing?" "Yes, and make sure" "That no one else finds out about it." "So what does this alien want?" "And why would it come to kendal?" "I mean, why not new york or dc?" "The only connection it would have to kendal would be... my father." "Hello, flash." "I need to find the imex." "Do you know where it is?" "Imex?" "Mom, what are you talking about?" "Your father," "He used to have an imex." "I need it." "Mom, are you all right?" "You sound a little weird." "Is there somebody there with you?" "I'm fine, flash." "Just tell me where the imex is." "I don't know, mom." "Something's wrong." "She just called me flash." "But she only calls you steven." "What's going on?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Don't worry about me." "Goodbye." "Mom?" "You here?" "Hello, flash." "Would you like some pie?" "Mom, you're acting weird." "What's wrong?" "I'm fine." "What kind of pie" "Did you bake me, mom?" "Just one pie," "For my sweetie-Pie." "And how big's this pie?" "A nine-Inch pie." "I think i should eat this pie by myself." "Look out!" "Quick, shoot him!" "I'm trying!" "It's stuck!" "What are you waiting for?" "Shoot him!" "I'm having issues." "Issues?" "Take that!" "Okay, it's working." "It's not working." "No, no, no, not the blender!" "My mom will kill me!" "Watch out, flash!" "Rolling pin, that's good!" "Hey... hey,you okay?" "I'm fine." "The last thing i remember," "I was putting away the groceries." "Yeah." "Ooh... neck's a bit stiff." "Ooh... wait,where are you going?" "I'm going to make myself a cup of tea." "I've got a 10:00 to atlanta," "I still have to pack, and i... hey,i got a better idea." "Why don't i get you the tea," "And you head upstairs and lay down for a while?" "Okay,thank you." "So she feels fine," "And she doesn't remember a thing." "Sorry about the blender." "She'll get over it." "Looks like he left something behind." "I think it's some kind of tracking device." "What is it?" "My father's driver's license." "You're right." "It's definitely tracking something." "Are you sure this is a good idea?" "I don't know." "This is it." "I don't feel very good about this." "Look,it's starting to blink faster." "What does that mean?" "It means we're getting closer." "Closer to what?" "I think we're about to find out." "What is that?" "That would be a rift." "It's exactly like the one your father was lost in." "You mean he might be on the other side of that thing?" "Don't even think about it." "That thing, whatever the hell it was," "Had my father's driver's license." "If he's over there, i have to find him." "That would be suicide." "You don't know that." "But it's a reasonable assumption." "Look,it's fading." "This might be my only chance." "No!" "This is insanity." "You don't know what's over there," "If you can come back." "You can't do that to your mother," "And what about nick?" "I mean,what about... what?" "Forget it." "Dale,i have to do this." "Hey..." "I don't care." "oops." "Where are we?" "I have no idea." "Triumphant victory requesting port assignment." "Approaching with notribs." "Triumphant victory cleared for docking." "Tr standing by for incept." "It's all my fault." "It's not your fault." "It was an accident," "And we're going to be fine." "Fine?" "We are captives on an alien planet." "You can't just say things are going to be fine." "I can,and am, because you know why?" "We're going to keep smiling," "And people are nice to people who are smiling." "That's it?" "That's all you've got?" "Smiles?" "Hi." "I'm flash" "Silence!" "These are the notribs?" "Ow?" "Where are your attribution keys?" "We're not from around here," "The thing is," "So i actually have no idea" "What you're talking about." "Is there someone in charge we could talk to?" "See?" "We're going to be fine." "We'll find this guy, ask about my dad," "See if he knows anything." "Looks like a nice enough guy." "Where are they taking us?" "I promise, it's going to be okay." "Just keep smiling." "I don't think" "This is the way to the guy in charge." "What now?" "Now... now we stop smiling." "Our herbs are withering in the fields." "If we do not get an immediate supply of source water," "They will perish," "And thousands who rely on our remedies" "Will die when the sickness comes," "Most of them children." "I am not without sympathy,luna." "Nobody likes a dying child," "Which is why i have generously offered to provide you" "With all the source water you need" "At last cycle's rate." "And triple the transfer fees." "You know we cannot afford that." "The state of omadrian coffers is not my concern." "Well,the state of your people should be." "I will remind you" "That if they are dead, you will have no one to tax." "Reduce omadrian transfer fees" "To last cycle's rate." "Thank you." "We will of course expect full payment" "Plus recompense next cycle." "I can't be seen to favor any particular canton." "Bad for stability." "I'm sure you understand." "Burn and salt a few of their fields." "If we don't keep the price of their cures up," "They'll never settle their debts." "Ah... kind of you to join us,rankol." "Bring them to me at once." "Away!" "All of you,away!" "Hi." "I'm flash." "This is my friend,dale." "We're from earth." "Where are you from?" "I think he's hungry." "You got any gum?" "Pocket, pocket,pocket." "Huh?" "Ah... no,no,no... no,don't swallow." "Chew." "Chew." "Yeah,chew." "Show him." "Okay." "Ah... yeah." "Uh-Huh?" "Is that what i think it is?" "I think he's smiling." "You notribs will come with us." "Good luck,buddy." "They must have retrieved this from our thrall." "Which means it failed to locate the imex." "I knew it was a mistake" "To send a construct to do this job." "Ow!" "You're hurting me." "Release them immediately." "My humblest apologies." "My patriots can be somewhat... overzealous at times." "I am ming." "Welcome to nascent city." "All of this must be rather overwhelming for you," "But i must say," "You're holding up well." "I'm dale... arden." "I'm flash." "Flash gordon." "We're from earth." "We came through" "Some sort of rift in space." "A rift in space?" "Fascinating." "We have so much to discuss." "So,you know about earth?" "There are few corners of the galaxy" "That we do not know about." "This is rankol," "My chief scientist." "Welcome to mongo." "This rift?" "Tell me about it." "This... thing," "Came to my house" "Looking for something called an imex." "We believe it belonged to my father," "Dr. Lawrence gordon." "We think he's lost here." "Does that name mean anything to you,rankol?" "There were stories of a man from the stars," "But that was a long time ago." "Yes,it would have been about 13 years ago." "That must be my father." "If so,i'm afraid your journey has been in vain." "Outside of my beautiful city," "Mongo is a dangerous place." "You would not have survived" "If my patriots hadn't discovered you when they did." "So,what are you saying?" "Few survive long in the banelands." "If the turin don't get you," "The deviates will." "No,no,i can't believe that." "My father must be here." "I can feel it." "One can always hope," "And we will do all we can to help you find him." "This imex that you mentioned," "It might help us to know more about that." "That thing," "It was you who sent it to my house,wasn't it?" "You're the ones looking for the imex." "Listen,i just want to find my father." "Guards." "Please!" "Please,if you could just tell me if he's alive." "Please, just let me know." "Tell me!" "He's all yours." "Do whatever it takes, but find the imex." "And the female?" "Have her cleaned and sent to my chamber." "This isn't good." "Yeah,definitely not good." "Now..." "let's begin shall we?" "Where's dale?" "Your companion is fine." "And why should i believe you?" "Because right now," "I'm the only friend that you have." "I want to see her." "You're hardly in a position to make demands," "But i do like your spirit." "Hey,what are you doing?" "Enough questions." "Now it is time for answers." "Where is the imex?" "I already told you," "I don't know." "Did you know" "That the human eye has no nerve endings in it?" "It's true." "I find it fascinating" "That something that is so perfect," "So vital," "So exquisite in design," "Could so completely lack feeling." "Yeah,that really keeps me up at night,too." "Not so,however, the tendons behind the eye." "Those are some of the most sensitive" "In the entire human body." "Now... i'm going to ask you again," "And you are going to give me an answer." "It would be best if you didn't lie," "But then,that decision is really up to you." "Where is the imex?" "What's an imex?" "Oh,well." "I did try." "So,where am i?" "You're in the benevolent father's chamber." "I have to say,he didn't seem that benevolent to me." "You should be happy." "This is a great honor." "Is my friend flash" "Going to be at this audience with ming?" "[Giggling]" "This is a private audience." "Oh,no,no." "No,you can tell him i appreciate the offer," "But i'm engaged." "To a cop." "Don't worry." "I'm going to place this in your ear." "Its music will cause a waking sleep," "And you won't remember a thing." "I promise, it won't be so bad." "In any case, it won't last long." "[All giggling]" "He's pleased." "This is good." "Put this in your ear." "It's time." "[Flash screaming in pain]" "Your pain reveals the truth." "You don't know where it is." "You don't even know what it is." "I'm sorry that it's come to this." "I'll have to do an image scan of your brain." "We so often have seen things" "That we aren't even aware of." "W-What are you doing?" "It would be best if you closed your eyes." "Dale,is that you?" "My name is chanza." "I'm one of ming's abetts." "They're talking about you." "Is it true you're from another world?" "Yeah." "Yeah,i'm from earth." "If i help you escape, can you take me there?" "If you get me out of here," "I'll take you anywhere you want to go." "Here... put this on." "But i must say," "A little torture looks good on you." "Come on,let's go." "We have to hurry." "Yeah." "Right,going to need my ticket home." "This will come in handy." "This way," "And we'll have to move quickly." "It won't be long before he finds out i'm gone." "I got to go look for dale." "Don't worry about her, she's fine." "Ming treats his courtesans very well." "His-His what?" "His courtesans!" "Wait!" "Where's dale?" "We have a chance to get out of here alive," "But only if we go right now." "If we stay around rescuing people," "We'll never escape." "You can do whatever you want, but i'm going to find dale." "Now,where is she?" "Guards!" "[Voice]: the benevolent father" "Unites all tribes." "Honor the code, honor yourself." "Obedience is the father of peace." "Obedience" "Dale!" "Flash!" "Thank god you're all right." "What happened to you?" "I had a ming make-Over." "I was supposed to be tonight's entertainment." "Fortunately,i found a stand-In." "I was just coming to rescue you." "No,no, i was coming to rescue you." "Correction, i'm rescuing both of you." "Come on." "Dale, this is chanza." "She's one of ming's slave girls." "We're taking her to earth with us." "Well,we better get going." "He's about to be one very despondent despot." "What about my father?" "Oh,no,no,no, we have to leave right now." "But this might be the only chance" "That i have to find him." "I've worked for ming for two cycles," "And i've never heard anything" "About any man from earth." "Your father's not here." "I've got to be sure." "Do you know what ming does" "To runaway courtesans?" "He sells them to the turin as pleasure slaves." "Is that what you want for your friend?" "Down this way!" "No,i'll come back on my own and find him." "Come on,down here." "What is this place?" "It's part of the water plant." "All the water on mongo is contaminated." "If you drink it, it slowly kills you." "The only good water comes from a well below the city." "It's processed here before it's sold." "I used to sneak in here and play here as a child." "We should be able to get out" "Through one of the empty water mains." "The benevolent father unites all tribes." "Honor the code, honor yourself." "Obedience is the father of peace... the prisoner!" "Where is he?" "He escaped," "And he took aura with him." "Find her!" "If they fail,rankol... i will be starting" "With this one." "So,he's a water robber baron?" "That's how he got the money to build this city." "Don't be so quick to judge." "Before him, millions died." "Now they live." "Ming saved this planet." "If he's such a hero," "Why are you running away from him?" "Because sometimes being a hero" "Also means being a tyrant." "Rift's this way." "Let's get out of here before someone decides to flush." "It's this way." "Come on." "Stingers,and they're coming quick." "Whatever you do, don't let them hit you." "Let's go!" "Come on!" "We only have a few seconds" "Before it closes." "Dale." "Come on" "I should never have let them go." "It's all my fault." "They're back." "Sorry!" "There's zarkov." "Come on." "What happened to you?" "The first thing that we need to do is change." "I got to find the imex." "I'll take chanza back to my place" "And get some new clothes." "I want to go with flash." "You're not going with flash." "Would somebody please tell me what's going on?" "Oh,this is, uh,chanza." "She's one of ming's slaves." "We rescued her from mongo." "Wait,wait, so you're telling me" "That you brought an alien back here?" "Uh,yeah." "What else were we supposed to do?" "Ming was going to kill her." "Oh,this is not good." "This is really,really not good." "You can't just bring alien slave girls back to earth" "Willy-Nilly." "I'm not a slave girl, i'm an abett." "So,chanza,what exactly do abetts do?" "We're trained to serve." "Let's go back to your place, and i'll show you how." "Oh,no,no." "You're coming with me." "If she's an abett, then i'm costello." "Did you see her nails?" "The girl hasn't done a day's work in her life." "So this imex thing, they want it pretty bad." "Any idea what it is?" "Well,it must have something to do with the rifts." "Either that,or something involving the data" "That your father was using." "I... have really no idea." "All right,whatever it is," "We got to find it and get rid of it." "Let's get out of here." "All right." "You can put this on." "We'll take you shopping tomorrow." "...septic tank-Cleaner ernesto lupe" "Had a day he'll never forget... what's that?" "It's called a tv." "Just push these buttons, and it will tell you" "Everything you need to know about earth." "...winning the multi-Match game." "Oddly,he claims to have traded the ticket" "For a giant bumble bee." "I love america!" "America!" "America!" "Whoo-Hoo!" "America!" "You have got to be kidding me." "I'm glad you're feeling better." "I feel fine," "But,you know,i had the strangest dreams." "This monster kept asking me" "Where the imex was." "Very odd." "The imex?" "What's an imex?" "Your guess is as good as mine." "So,uh... where'd you go last night?" "Uh... with friends." "I tried to get home, but i got stranded." "Stranded?" "Really?" "Any particular friend i should know about?" "Actually,i was with dale." "I knew it!" "I saw you guys talking after the race." "I just knew it." "The way you look at each other." "It's so obvious mom... you're so in love" "Mom!" "Dale's engaged." "Oh... oh,not to you?" "No." "Oh,i'm sorry." "I-I said too much,then." "But then... what are the two of you doing spending the night together?" "It wasn't about us." "It was about dad." "Dale's a reporter now." "She's helping me look into what happened to him." "Well,there's a shock." "Mom,i can't let this go." "Is there anything i could say that would make you stop?" "No." "Well,there it is,then." "Just like your father." "Mom, i need to know" "Is there anything of dad's left in the house?" "There's a few boxes under the stairs," "But there's nothing there." "I've looked a thousand times." "I've made peace with this." "It's taken me a long time, but... i've done it." "You do what you need to do... but don't take that from me," "Okay?" "Hey baby.Want to ride in my big truck?" "I just won the lottery!" "Wow,hey." "What a crazy day yesterday." "It was nonstop." "What kept you so busy?" "Oh,just this story." "I'll tell you about it later." "I don't like this dress!" "Okay,i'll be out in a second." "Is someone there?" "Yeah" "A girlfriend came by to borrow a dress." "Look,i'll... i'll call you back later,okay?" "What are you doing?" "I need something else to wear." "You can't expect me to walk about in that sack." "This might work." "That was my prom dress," "And you're not wearing that." "What is that?" "It's just a little protection." "Mongo is a dangerous place." "So you're telling me" "That ming lets his servants carry weapons?" "You don't trust me,do you?" "Not for a second." "So why don't you just tell me the truth?" "Who are you, and what do you want?" "And don't give me some story" "About being a runaway servant girl," "Because servants don't carry guns," "And they don't act" "Like such spoiled little brats." "You dare to lay hands on me?" "Don't you know who i am?" "I could have you exiled to the banelands" "In the snap of a finger." "I can't believe i didn't see it sooner." "You have the same cold eyes as he does." "You're his daughter, aren't you?" "Who else would defend a monster like ming?" "My father is a complex man." "I would not expect someone like you" "To understand him." "What do you want?" "I'm here for the imex." "There's nothing else on this planet worth having." "Except for one thing," "And i'll have him soon enough." "Flash?" "Keep dreaming." "He wouldn't touch you" "If you were the last woman in the universe." "Don't be so sure." "I always get what i want." "Hey,hey,hey." "I just got back to the lab, and we got another one." "Something came through about 10 minutes ago." "Somewhere near rock creek park." "All right,well, drive out there" "Call me if you spot anything." "I'm going to find this imex." "Imex,imex... be here." "This can't be everything that belonged to you." "No way... this is the imex?" "Hello?" "I found it." "The imex?" "It's a timex!" "It's my dad's old watch." "I've been wearing it for years." "There's some sort of alien chip in the back of it." "Well,hide it," "Because that fake servant girl is on her way over" "To try and steal it." "Chanza is ming's daughter." "Dale,it's joe!" "Are you okay?" "I've got to go." "Let's not complicate this any more than necessary." "I'll just take the imex" "And go." "Aren't you going to at least tell me what it is?" "It's a database." "Apparently it contains" "All the knowledge of the universe." "So,what was it doing in my dad's old watch?" "Don't know." "Don't care." "All that matters is that i have it and you don't." "Maybe now my father will realize i can do more than look pretty." "My father... is he still alive?" "I'd love to stay and chat," "But i really have to be going." "Wait!" "Hey,wait!" "Take me with you." "Tempting as that sounds," "Don't think so." "I have to do this on my own." "All the knowledge of the universe." "What father wouldn't be proud?" "Remain still, and you will receive no pain." "You did not remain still." "By order of rankol," "Primicounsel to the benevolent father," "You,aura, daughter of ming," "Are hereby remanded under my charge" "And are required to" "Fine,fine." "I'll come with you," "But i'm not leaving without what i came for." "If i see your father, i'll tell him heu." "Ow." "Flash!" "There!" "They're headed for the rift." "Ow, you're hurting me!" "Quit pulling." "What are you doing?" "I order you to put me down!" "Give me the imex!" "Ah!" "Get off me!" "Come here, come here,come here." "Drop it." "No,you drop it." "Don't." "Put it down." "Make me." "Nice try,though." "Useless earth weapons." "We don't have a lot of time." "Look,the rift,it's fading." "This could be your only chance to find your father." "Give me the imex, and i'll take you to him." "No,no,no, you mustn't." "Do you really know where he is?" "Yes." "All you have to do is give me the imex," "And i promise, you'll be together again soon," "But we have to go now." "We only have a few seconds." "He'll be so happy to see you." "No,flash, no,no,no." "That would be a huge mistake." "Okay." "I'll give it to you." "No!" "What are you doing?" "No!" "Here... it's all yours." "You're a fool." "You will never see your father again." "Go tell your father his imex is gone." "Great." "Now we got another alien on the loose." "I have a feeling she'll be back." "Well,at least they didn't get the imex." "Although it's a shame you had to destroy it." "We might have been able to use it" "To figure out how to stop them." "You think i'm an idiot?" "One of my dad's old watches." "You get the alien chip, i get the watch." "Come on." "I'm sorry,father." "I had it,but flash gordon destroyed it." "Do you have any idea what you've done?" "That can never be replaced!" "If you were not my daughter," "I would have you stripped," "And i would hunt you for sport." "Lock her in her chambers." "I know you're out there somewhere,dad." "I'm going to find you." "When i do,we're going to dig this empty box up." "So... how are things with you and joe?" "I told him you and i" "Were working on a story together... about the death of your father." "It's true," "In a weird kind of way." "How did he take it?" "It wasn't easy for him," "But he says he supports my career," "Wherever it might take me." "Is there anything i can do to help?" "You could let me tell him the truth." "Not until we find my father." "Um... not ever, actually." "Unless,of course, you want to be the person" "Who leaks the knowledge" "That would inevitability destroy the entire galaxy." "Got it." "So,what now?" "Well,all we have to do is save the universe." "That shouldn't be so hard,huh?" "I'm beginning to remember" "Why i broke up with you." "Uh,i broke up with you." "You did not." "I so dumped your ass." "Aren't reporters supposed to get their facts right?" "'Cause i so broke up with you."
