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
