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.
